Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 160 Different ways

In the darkness, a group of people retreated along the desolate hills, pursued relentlessly by the howling beasts.

"Go faster!"

I glanced ahead, then quickly turned and fired a burst of shots, killing the closest crawlers.

"Ding Han..."

Rabbit, clutching the submachine gun, looked apologetic: "Thank you!"

"Easy to do."

I said calmly, "We'll talk about it after the retreat is successful."

"Ok!"

Just then, a voice rang out in the Star Chart public channel: "Rabbit Strike, have you broken through?"

It was the sound of a gun firing like a dragon.

"Ah."

Rabbit Strike responded, "Ding Han and Cai Cai opened a gap in the crawlers' territory and helped us evacuate from the research institute, but there are still many crawlers behind us, and we are not yet free."

"Ding Han is here too?" Gun Chu Rulong asked in surprise.

I said in a deep voice, "That abandoned research institute has been in disrepair for a long time, and the walls are severely damaged. It's only a matter of time before it's breached. So I'm retreating southeast with Rabbit and the others. There are crawlers all behind us, which is a bit troublesome."

"Wait, let me check!"

A few seconds later, Gunfire Like a Dragon sent out coordinates and said, "There's an abandoned bunker here, perfect for holding. You guys hurry over. If there aren't too many creepers and you have enough ammo, you can just farm them for points."

"Okay, thank you!"

I marked the coordinates given to me by Guns N' Rise on the map and said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"

"and many more……"

At this moment, Zeus, a level 31 gunner from Ragnarok, shouted: "Yiyi, the boss told us to retreat west and rejoin them. Everyone's over there. We can definitely take care of these crawlers with firepower!"

"west?"

I frowned: "Brother, didn't you see that the west is full of crawlers? Going west is like walking into a trap. If there are other species hiding in the jungle to the south, going west is like lambs to the slaughter."

"Yiyi..."

Zeus gritted his teeth and said, "Shouldn't we listen to the alliance leader? Ding Han is an outsider after all. If we make the wrong decision now, it will cost all the brothers their lives..."

"Ding Han saved us, and now we've chosen the best retreat plan."

Huang Yiyi ran while carrying the submachine gun, frowning as she said, "I don't think I'm wrong. If you want to leave, you can retreat westward by yourself. Nobody will stop you."

"Humph!"

Cai Cai sneered: "It really is the story of the farmer and the snake... We just saved him, and he turned around and bit us. You Ragnarok people are really interesting."

"Alright, that's enough. Everyone retreat to the bunker. If you don't want to, don't follow. I won't force you."

After I turned around and took down a few crawlers, I said, "Hurry up, there are more and more crawlers!"

"go!"

Everyone ran frantically toward the marker, and Zeus hesitated for a few seconds before following along with his gun.

……

ten minutes later.

In the wilderness, a bunker overgrown with weeds came into view, looking like a lonely grave if you didn't look closely.

"Damn it, the door's locked!"

Cai Cai tugged at the huge iron lock on the bunker's iron gate.

"Step aside!"

I drew my Wind-Riding Sword and slashed down, instantly creating a clang and sparks flying. The lock's ring snapped, and I immediately turned on the Roarer's Light and charged in first.

A strong musty smell wafted over, indicating that the bunker had been abandoned for many years. There were eight small firing ports around the bunker, divided into three levels. The firing positions were above the surface, and the two basement levels below contained some food and canned goods, but they had long been moldy and were completely inedible.

"close the door!"

Cai Cai and Fatty closed the iron gate again and locked it from the inside.

"The crawlers have arrived."

I frowned and looked into the distance, saying, "Everyone, get into firing positions and take turns providing firepower. Now is the perfect opportunity for us to gain experience."

"Go!"

Cai Cai, Fatty, and Ruolin each took a shooting position. As for Kou Mei, she didn't need to use a firepower point; she could just hide in the bunker and launch remote psionic attacks to kill monsters, although the efficiency would be slightly lower.

Rabbit Strike, Zeus, and the other three each occupied a shooting position, and gunfire rang out incessantly. The crawlers outside kept rolling around. Although they tried their best to charge, the bunker's surface was made of a combination of concrete and steel, with extremely thick defenses. The crawlers' attacks could only leave claw marks on the outside of the bunker.

……

Before long, the first light of dawn appeared in the east; daylight was approaching.

"Watch out, the BOSS is on the move!"

Rabbit Strike suddenly gave a reminder.

I frowned and looked over. Sure enough, several Tier 2 Boneblade Hunters were hiding among the creeper monsters, constantly hissing and pouncing on the bunker, attacking it with their bone spikes! Amidst the flying sparks, the outer concrete and steel of the bunker began to peel away!
Good heavens, even such a sturdy bunker couldn't stop a Tier 2 alien?!

"Focus fire and take down these blue bosses!"

I frowned, quickly aimed at the head of a Boneblade Hunter, and the Roarer opened fire. Amidst the "bang bang bang" of gunfire, headshots rang out continuously, and in less than 3 seconds, the head was blown off!
[Congratulations! You have defeated the Bone Blade Hunter (blue BOSS) and obtained the item: BOSS Ability Crystal x1!]

[Battle Notification: You have defeated the Bone Blade Hunter (Blue Boss), gaining 240000 character experience points. The Elemental Furnace extracted 120000 experience points!]

[Battle Notification: You have defeated the Bone Blade Hunter (Blue Boss), and received an additional reward: Character Experience +24000!]

……

Wow, this purple Roarer is so fast at single-target kills!
They quickly locked onto another Boneblade Hunter, emptied the magazine in an instant, and with some of Cai Cai's damage, they also killed it in a flash!

"Cool!"

Cai Cai's face lit up with joy: "It's just that the bullets are being used up too quickly!"

"It's not bad."

I smiled faintly and said, "We'll open the boxes together later, and if we get a few high-level blue equipment pieces, we'll get all the money we spent on bullets back."

"Too!"

Our group looked delighted, while the Ragnarok members had complicated expressions. Zeus, who had suggested leaving earlier, had also gained a lot of experience and benefits, but he was too embarrassed to show his happiness, probably because he was feeling quite uncomfortable.

……

Four hours passed in the blink of an eye, and it was 11:00 a.m. on the first day of the mission.

By this time, most of the crawlers had been cleared out, but the ground was already badly damaged, especially the top of the bunker. Due to the lack of firing positions, the crawlers had gnawed at the steel reinforcement structure inside the concrete, and light was already streaming through the walls, indicating that it was about to be breached!
"Oh shit……"

Cai Cai quickly loaded the bullets into the magazine, frowned, and said, "The bunker is about to be breached, but fortunately, the number of aliens is not much anymore. What should we do? Should we fight our way out?"

I nodded: "There are very few crawlers left. I'll lead the way, and the rest of you will follow south. Once we've cleared out all the aliens, we can go our separate ways."

"Ding Han, thank you." Rabbit Strike thanked him again.

The other Ragnarok players also showed expressions of gratitude, but Zeus remained cold and indifferent, as if we owed him a lot of money.

"go!"

I kicked open the iron gate, grabbed the Roarer, and charged out. I took out the last few crawlers in front of me with a burst of fire, while Cai Cai and Fatty went around the bunker and shot at the remaining crawlers.

A group of people left the bunker and headed south into a wilderness.

"The boss and the others are at most half an hour away from here."

At this moment, Zeus stopped and said, "Yiyi, let's head west and meet up with the boss."

Rabbit Strike looked troubled and said, "We just encountered an attack by a large alien army, which means they are very active in this area. To be on the safe side, I think we should team up with Ding Han and the others and continue south for a few more miles. Once we're sure it's safe, we can split up. What do you guys think?"

"okay."

The priest named "Unlimited Milk Power" nodded.

"If you want to go with your enemy, then go ahead, I don't care anymore!"

Zeus gritted his teeth, turned around, and headed west!

"Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together," Cai Cai said calmly.

I looked in the direction Zeus was facing, where, under the sunlight, there seemed to be some distortions and wrinkles that flashed by for a moment, a feeling that was all too familiar!
"careful!"

I hurriedly raised the bomb gun, but in the next second, it was too late!

"puff!"

A tongue several meters long suddenly shot out from the jungle and instantly pierced Zeus's breastplate. He was incredibly unlucky; to make matters worse, he even suffered a critical hit!
"15468!"

In an instant, Zeus's health bar was depleted, and he fell into a state of nerve paralysis!
"grass!"

Cai Cai was shocked: "It's a Tier 3 mutant, a Phantom Lurker!"

"Uh……"

Zeus was impaled on the barbs of his mouthparts, which were covered with nerve-paralyzing toxins, like a grasshopper on a bamboo skewer. His limbs trembled slightly, but he was powerless to struggle.

The toxins corroded the body, and the already nearly depleted health bar started showing damage numbers again!

This time, even God can't save him!

"on!"

The next second, I threw a Heavenly Creation Technique directly onto the Phantom Lurker's head, and then aimed the bomb gun at its head and fired!
"Bang bang bang~~~"

With the sound of gunfire, the Phantom Lurker's health bar plummeted.

However, Zeus let out a whimper and his body went limp as he collapsed. The outline of the other-dimensional space appeared and shattered, instantly exploding into a pile of star coins, weapons, equipment, pickled fish, and Okamoto 001 and other miscellaneous items.

……

"Watch out for its counterattack!"

After emptying the magazine, I immediately switched my main weapon to the Wind Rider Sword, and with a "whoosh," I charged out, activating Unstoppable Force at the same time. In the next second, I landed a total of 9 hits on the BOSS, including a normal attack, a Dragon Blade attack, a normal attack, a Ground Spike attack, a normal attack, a Bloodthirst attack, and a normal attack. The damage was higher with each hit, and the final Bloodthirst attack even dealt more than 6000 damage!
"on!"

Cai Cai and Fatty split into two groups, Ruo Lin provided cover, and Kou Mei launched ranged attacks.

After being ambushed by the Phantom Lurkers, everyone in our squad appeared extremely skilled and focused!
In contrast, Rabbit Strike, Healing Power Infinite, and others who were stunned by the BOSS's sudden attack looked like a bunch of green recruits!
