Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 253 Power Sword Storm

"Don't, don't, don't..."

I shook my head, stopping Cai Cai from acting impulsively, and said, "Hit him first... then make him eat feces. Otherwise, if he eats feces first and gets covered in filth, how can we hit him later?"

"I rely on!"

Cai Cai suddenly realized and gave her an admiring look: "It's still the eldest brother..."

"you……"

The middle-aged man, who had just extorted money from an internet cafe, suddenly looked up: "What are you doing?"

I stepped forward and kicked him, leaving a clear Nike shoe print on his forehead with a "smack". Although I controlled the force of this kick with 960 points of strength, it still knocked him down. I guess his head was buzzing.

He stepped forward, snatched the 3 from his hand, and stuffed it into his pocket in one swift motion.

"beat!"

At my command, Cai Cai, Fa Zi, Fa Ye, and Bing Zi surrounded the other man and began kicking him repeatedly, each kick aimed straight for vital points, much like the famous fire-extinguishing scene in "A Chinese Odyssey." For a moment, only the middle-aged man's screams could be heard in the alley.

"Wait, his egg looks like it's broken..." Bingzi said.

"stop!"

I gently raised my hand and said, "You four are really too rough..."

The four of them looked ashamed.

I stepped forward, looked at the other person calmly, and said, "You like to extort money, don't you?"

"I won't do it again... I'll never do it again..."

He finally began to get scared.

"So you'll just give up if you don't dare?"

I suddenly kicked him hard in the shinbone, and with a "crack," he suffered a comminuted fracture!
"Pour out the manure!"

"okay!"

Cai Cai reached into her interdimensional storage space and took out a funnel used for buying soy sauce, then stuck it directly into the middle-aged man's mouth.

I was completely baffled. What was this bastard doing putting this in his storage space? Was he planning to open a general store? I really don't understand him…

The next moment, Cai Cai and Fatty revealed a perverted smile and fed the middle-aged man about a bowl of fecal water. It was truly immoral, but it was satisfying to use it on him.

"Oh shit……"

Cai Cai, being a shrewd operator, immediately pulled out a purple pistol from her storage space, cocked it with a "click," and pressed it against the other man's forehead, saying, "Boss, how about we just take him out with one shot? What's the use of keeping this trash around?"

Of course, he did this just to scare the other person.

"you……"

The middle-aged man nearly fainted from fright: "Are you from the H Society? How come you even have guns..."

Did I give you permission to speak?

Cai Cai kicked the man directly in the groin, and the middle-aged man almost fainted from the pain.

"What a waste!"

I glanced at him and said, "Let's go!"

Then, the group of people vanished into the night like phantoms.

……

Feiyang Internet Cafe.

I led a few enthusiastic guys into the internet cafe, then looked at Lu Xiaobei and Chen Xiaoman behind the counter, and took out 30,000 yuan and handed it over: "Sister Xiaoman, put this 30,000 yuan back in the account."

"what?"

Chen Xiaoman exclaimed in surprise, "He returned the money?"

"how is this possible?"

Lu Xiaobei looked surprised: "How could someone like him possibly return the money once he gets it?"

"You don't understand. I appealed to your emotions and reasoned with you..."

I looked at Lu Xiaobei and explained, "I told him that extorting money is wrong. A gentleman understands righteousness, while a petty person understands profit. There are gods watching over us, and if you do too many immoral things, you will definitely be punished. After listening to him, he suddenly realized his mistake and said, 'I know I was wrong,' and then he returned the money to me. Cai Cai and Fatty can both testify to this, right?"

"Ah, yes, yes!"

Behind him, four people nodded frantically in unison.

Not far away, Ruolin and Koumei wore speechless expressions.

"Fine……"

Lu Xiaobei said, "Anyway, it's good that the money is back. Otherwise, I would be heartbroken for days."

"Look at your potential."

I coughed and said, "There are matches tomorrow and the day after, and the matches are scheduled quite early these two days, with two big matches each day, so get some rest. The real main event is tomorrow and the day after."

"Ok!"

Everyone took a taxi home to rest.

It's twelve o'clock at night.

When I returned to my lodgings, Lin Qingying was already asleep, while I, exhausted, took a shower and quickly fell asleep as well. Perhaps I was too tired, for I drifted off to sleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

……

The WHL matches continued in full swing for the next two days. In particular, on Saturday, Huaining TV actually featured the league in its news, which attracted many people to come and boosted the business of the internet cafes.

Aside from WHL's matter, I still focused my energy on "repairs". Whenever any machine in the internet cafe had a minor problem, I would immediately call and arrive as quickly as possible to resolve it. This surprised Zhao Yihang, Lao K, and others. They were already managers, but they were still so enthusiastic about internet cafe management!

By 8 p.m. on Sunday, the attendance rate had finally met the requirements, and the task was completed!
A pleasant tinkling sound rang in my ears—the Power Sword Storm was coming!

[Congratulations! You have completed the daily quest "Go Forward, Flying Internet Cafe!" (SS-rank). Rewards: Character Experience +1200 million, Charisma +2, and additional reward: "Power Sword Storm" (SS-rank Skill Tome)!]

Here comes the Power Sword Storm!

With a "thud," a golden skill book fell into the interdimensional storage space. After a brief glance, a series of enticing words appeared—

【Power Sword Storm】(SS-level Skill Codex): Wield the power sword to unleash a storm, dealing massive damage to targets within a 20-yard radius for 7 seconds. Consumes 10 Yuan Power. Cooldown: 2 minutes. Required level: 50. Required class: Super Warrior - Swordsman.

……

The SS-level main quest daily mission is awesome! It gave me 1200 million experience points in one go, so I immediately confirmed the level up. Unfortunately, I could only reach level 49, still one step away from the level 50 mark!
I can't learn Power Sword Storm yet, but I already have the skill book, which feels pretty good!
Let's leave it for now. Level 50 is just around the corner, we'll get there soon!

It was another tiring day, and I didn't get back to my lodgings until after 11 o'clock.

"I'm home?"

Lin Qingying closed her laptop and stood up.

"Ah."

I nodded: "I've been too busy with the internet cafe these past few days to have dinner with you."

"It's ok."

She smiled gently, her dimples shimmering: "I've been busy lately too."

……

It's midnight.

Lying in bed, still thinking about the Power Sword Storm, I was suddenly struck by a series of system notifications.

Version 2.1 has been updated!

[Version Content: The brand-new feature, the Server-wide Announcement System, is officially launched!]

[Star Chart feature optimization complete!]

The formulas for calculating the firepower and armor of firearms have been optimized!

Following several version updates and optimizations, a new regional mission was released immediately afterward.

[Attention all players! The regional quest "Demon's Lair" (S-rank main quest) has officially refreshed. Quest location: "Windswept Tundra". Quest start time: 12 hours later. Quest content: The transit supply town established by the Crimson Dragon Kingdom in the Windswept Tundra has been fiercely attacked by an alien army. The field hospital has been completely captured. Please go to its rescue after the quest starts and recapture the base from the alien army! The greater your contribution in the quest, the richer the final reward!]

……

Success! I just needed to level up to 50, and here comes an S-rank regional quest!
The squad immediately became lively.

Cai Cai: "So, what do you mean, a full-scale attack at noon tomorrow?"

"It can't be at midnight."

I opened the map of the Rising Tundra and glanced at it: "This base is at least an hour's journey from the teleportation array. We need to get there early and meet at the player black market at 10:30 tomorrow morning."

"understand!"

A group of people responded enthusiastically.

Afterwards, I sent Lu Xiaobei a message: "Are you asleep?"

"not yet."

Lu Xiaobei posted a panda-eyed emoji and said, "The internet cafe has been so busy these past two days, I'm too excited to sleep..."

"Good grief, you're such a loser! You're supposed to be a big boss!"

"What do you know."

Lu Xiaobei said, "The flagship stores in BH City, Jiangning City, and Donghai City are not doing that well. Even though their conditions are better, they still can't achieve such a high attendance rate."

"It's a matter of strategy; we can adjust it gradually."

"Ah."

She sent a questioning emoji: "So, you're messaging me in the middle of the night because you have something to say?"

"Yes, I'll take the day off tomorrow!"

"you!"

Lu Xiaobei dropped a bombshell, saying, "You've dumped such a huge mess on me all by myself again, you irresponsible bastard!"

Stop being so dramatic.

I replied, "With Sister Xiaoman and Zhao Yihang backing us up, and besides, tomorrow is Monday, there's no match at all. What difference does it make whether you're there or not in the internet cafe?"

"Right……"

She dropped another bombshell: "I'm going to sleep now!"

……

The next day, early morning.

I woke up early, washed up, and went downstairs to buy breakfast.

"Xiaoying, I'm going out today. I don't know exactly when I'll be back. I might be back today, or it might be a day or two. Fatty is coming with me. It's about his department taking leave..."

"I see."

Lin Qingying said, "I'll have Shen Man tell the R&D department that Fatty isn't feeling well and ask their manager to grant him special permission to take leave at any time."

"..."

I was speechless. Lin Qingying was so thoughtful!

"Ding Han".

She looked at me, somewhat annoyed: "During the Spring Festival, I went to LN City in the Northwest to deal with the Yuening Energy crisis..."

"I'm starting to regret it."

She pursed her lips and said, "I should take some time to visit the Jokhang Temple in LN City. I heard that the amulets there are very effective. I should get one and let you keep it with you."

I was a little touched and said, "Then when you have time in the future, I'll go on a trip with you there. We'll go to the Jokhang Temple together, and I'll get you a lucky charm to carry with you."

"Ok!"

She nodded very seriously: "Then let's make an appointment first!"

"it is good!"

After finishing my meal, I watched Lin Qingying drive away. Then I went to a few nearby shops, stuffed some food into my dimensional storage space, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for the player black market.

……

The player black market was bustling with people.

After gathering together, everyone quickly replenished their supplies and then walked into the phase teleportation array together!

The next second, I stepped out of the teleportation array first, only to find that the teleportation array located in the Frosty Tundra seemed to have changed again. The market outside was more and more prosperous, and a breakfast stall had even opened. It was hard not to make a fortune if they could do business like this.

"Ding Han!"

Xu Tian's voice came from not far away.

He was sitting in a military jeep, waving at us and laughing, "Want to rent a car and go together?"

"No, no!"

I pulled out my cool off-road motorcycle directly from my interdimensional storage space.

"Fuck!"

In the passenger seat, the Chaos Demon King laughed, "Wow, Ding Han, you're awesome!"

Cai Cai, Fatty, and the others also took out their motorcycles one by one, leaving the people from the Crimson Cloud Alliance dumbfounded. Qiang Chu Rulong touched his nose in frustration and said, "It seems we can follow suit. Their mobility is very strong, and they can break into smaller units at any time. Their mobility in the wilderness far exceeds that of four-wheeled vehicles."

"really!"

Xu Tian wholeheartedly agreed: "I'll make the arrangements after we finish this mission!"

"Ah."

The spear, drawn like a dragon, nodded and waved to me, signaling us to go first.

With the roar of motorcycle engines, the seven off-road motorcycles sped away, disappearing from the teleportation array area in the blink of an eye.

……

After one hour.

On the large map, the temporary supply base marked in blood red was getting closer and closer, and soon it came into view. At this time, the mission had not yet started, and the surrounding area was full of the Crimson Dragon Legion's troops. The roar of fighter jets and the rumble of tanks were mixed together.

"I rely on..."

Hōya Chōchō looked up at the fighter jets in the sky and said, "Even with the air force deployed, we still can't take it down? Just how strong are these aliens? It's outrageous!"

"The mission hasn't started yet, let's observe for a while before making a decision."

I put away my motorcycle, grabbed my sniper rifle, and climbed up a nearby old tree. Then I used the scope to observe the situation of the base in the distance. I saw that there were all kinds of alien species everywhere, including Tier 1 and Tier 2 alien species. In addition, there were two orange spine butchers swaying around on the perimeter, like guards on the outer edge of the base.

As for the base, a field hospital in the town had completely fallen. Several buildings were filled with a spiderweb-like defensive structure and had become a nest for aliens, which looked rather eerie from a distance.

On the surface of those spiderweb-like defensive fortifications, there were even charred marks from bombing, indicating that the Crimson Dragon Kingdom's legion had attacked from the air with fighter jets, but to no avail; they were simply unable to completely eliminate the targets.

Time passed slowly, and more and more players appeared on the outskirts of the base. From afar, we could see the figures of guild players such as Crimson Sky Alliance, Ember Domain, and Old Royal Court, as well as a large number of solo players and small groups like us.

At exactly twelve o'clock, the system bell rang again!

[Please note that the Crimson Queen (cyan BOSS) is laying eggs! Once the entire egg-laying process is complete, the alien army will officially occupy the base, and the mission will fail!]

[The time to attack has come, let the battle begin!]

...With a "whoosh," the entire base map turned blood red, and the mission officially began. Immediately, the sound of players firing from afar came from all directions, while the ground troops of the Crimson Dragon Legion remained motionless.

"Watch out, it's a mass bombing!"

Suddenly someone shouted.

Two bombers with bulging bellies flew overhead, followed by tons of bombs falling. The base was filled with deafening roars, and many buildings were reduced to dust. However, the hospital, which was protected by a spiderweb-like defensive structure, remained unscathed under the bombing, with only some slight charring marks.

"Depend on……"

Huo Bingzhi frowned and said, "What the hell is this? It's completely unmoved after being blown up?"

"normal."

I said calmly, "The Crimson Queen is a fifth-tier mutant. The current cyan BOSS and those spider web fortifications should be her handiwork. It's perfectly normal that the bombers at this stage can't destroy the mutant products of the cyan BOSS."

"Someone has broken in. What should we say?"

Ruolin looked into the distance and said, "Should we sneak over there and at least steal a Spiked Butcher?"

"can!"

My gaze locked onto a warehouse not far from the hospital. I said, "We'll sneak in from that warehouse. Follow me. Don't underestimate us or rush in. We'll launch our attack from the abandoned warehouse in a bit!"

"understand!"

He switched his weapon to a bomb gun, then crouched down and sneaked in from the outside. He quickly advanced about 100 meters along the warehouse wall, then took out his power sword, cleaved through the steel fence, and led the group into the abandoned warehouse that was covered in rust.

On the second floor of the warehouse, the ventilation vents faced directly towards the hospital where the Scarlet Queen was located, while the hospital was surrounded by a massive, dark army of aliens!

"The spine-spike butcher!"

Zhang Ruolin pointed to the most conspicuous one in the group of monsters.

"give it to me."

I immediately adopted a half-crouch firing stance and fired a series of rapid bursts, each bullet landing precisely on the Spiked Butcher's forehead. The behemoth roared and charged forward.

"how to spell?"

Fatty and Cai Cai asked together.

"You switch to thermal bombs."

I quickly switched my primary weapon to a power sword and said, "I'll slice through the spine butcher's joints as fast as I can. You guys keep attacking with molten bombs. It'll kill this thing quickly!"

The next moment, the entire second floor of the abandoned warehouse began to hum, and then a huge creature led a large number of alien species burst through the wall!

As expected of the spine-spike butcher, he's so brutal and powerful!

"sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss~~~"

In an instant, countless alien creatures roared at us on the second floor, their screams sending chills down our spines. Amidst the screams, the heads of a group of alien creatures split into mouthparts. This was their way of showing off, which, while nothing in particular, seemed rather perverse.

"Let the fight begin!"

As soon as the Stardust Wall opened, I jumped down from the second floor and launched the Wind Chaser into the air. With a "crack," I accurately struck the Spine Butcher's left leg joint, revealing the white joint tissue and the grayish lubricant!

"Bang bang bang~~"

Above, Cai Cai and Fatty, the two firepower providers, worked together perfectly, unleashing a barrage of molten metal bombs that instantly ignited the joint lubricant of the Spinner Butcher. As it burned fiercely, it emitted a piercing scream of pain, and countless spiny spikes shot out like lightning!

"Puff puff!"

The spines struck the Stardust Wall, constantly generating sparks. At the same time, a group of alien species around them were not idle either. The Devourers kept opening their mouths to launch devouring skills, but unfortunately, their sharp teeth were firmly stuck to the Stardust Wall!

Step Slash!
With a movement and a jump, the Wind Chaser transformed into a streak of cold light, severing the right leg joint of the Spine Butcher as well. CaiCai and Fatty quickly switched their firepower, setting the joint on fire as well. In an instant, the Spine Butcher screamed in agony as it burned!
With the power sword, defeating this boss with its obvious weaknesses was like a godsend—it was so fast!
"Suddenly..."

Switch to the bomb gun, unleash a barrage of shots, and then use a jump slash skill to leap up to the second floor!

A group of alien species couldn't jump that far, so they could only roar and ram against the wall from below. Soon, some of the alien species climbed up the wall to the second floor and launched an attack from both sides.

"Don't be afraid, suppressive fire!"

As I unleashed a barrage of attacks with my left hand while switching to the Wind Chaser with my right, I took a step forward. Instantly, amidst a flurry of sword light, a group of Tier 1 alien creatures' severed limbs and broken bodies spun around, almost instantly killing them with every strike. Their attack power was too high; even a glancing blow would be fatal!
"Nima..."

Cai Cai pondered for a moment: "Boss's close combat attack power is so abnormal, Sister Ruolin, when will you be able to have such attack power?"

"I……"

Zhang Ruolin looked thoughtful: "I'm a shield-type superweapon, so I prioritize survivability. Why would I compare my attack power with a sword-type superweapon? Are you asking for trouble again? Why do you always bring up things that don't suit your taste?"

"Hahahaha~~~"

Amidst Cai Cai's insane laughter, I calmly said, "Ruo Lin, it's alright... Once I get a higher-level power sword, this Wind Chaser will be yours. Even if you only have a shield-type super weapon, your attack power will definitely see a qualitative leap."

"what?"

Ruolin was overjoyed.

The fat guy sent a private message: "You really want to give this to Ruolin? Holy crap, it's a power sword..."

"Yeah, be more generous!"

I replied, "Ruolin has been with us through thick and thin for so long, and she's the second super warrior in the team. Who else should we give this power sword to if not her?"

"That's right!"

The fat man laughed and said, "It's your own thing, you decide for yourself. I just think the power sword is priceless. Unless you want to woo Ruolin, giving it away directly... damn, that's too generous. Honestly, I can't do that!"

"Stop talking, focus on dealing damage!"

……

A few seconds later, under our frenzied firepower, the Spinner Butcher below finally let out a wail and collapsed to the ground, bursting into flames. This time, not only the joint lubricant burned, but the entire body was also on fire. At the same time, we each obtained an orange treasure chest, which we opened immediately!
Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [BOSS Ability Crystal] and obtained the item: [Radiant Night Spear] (Quality: Orange)!

Gun-type weapon, orange?
My heart skipped a beat. Please don't mention a power gun!
If it's a power gun, that's incredible! With my luck, I'd definitely be the protagonist of this world!
A quick glance revealed that it wasn't a power gun, but a single-molecule longsword—

【The Spear of Night】(Quality: Orange)
Rank: Fifth Tier

Type: Monomolecular Long Gun
基础参数：攻击1100-1750，攻速0.9次/秒，耐久度5000/5000
Strength: +40
Agility: +38
Length: 1.8M
Weight: 45KG
Blessing: Lifesteal +6%
Specialty: Armor Penetration, ignores 28% of the target's armor.

Strength required: 700
Details: The Spear of Night, a masterpiece crafted by a master.
……

Its stats are quite good; its attack power is only slightly lower than my power sword. In addition, it has a maximum 6% life steal rate and is a Tier 5 orange weapon, which can be used at level 50.

Power swords are designed to be much stronger than ordinary weapons, so the attack power of this Nightblade must be significantly higher than its base value, otherwise the maximum attack power would be 1200 at most!

So, I sent the attribute guide for this gun directly to Gun Like a Dragon!

Three seconds later, Gunfire Like a Dragon sent a voice message: "Holy crap... keep this gun for the brother!!!"

……

Sure enough, he was very interested in the Night-Shining Spear.

However, my friendship with Gunner and Dragon are one thing, business is another, so I asked, "How much is Alliance Leader Dragon willing to offer?"

"Well..."

Spear As Like a Dragon pondered for a moment: "Currently, the market price for this kind of top-tier orange melee weapon is around 50 to 100. I am quite satisfied with the attack and life steal of this Nightblade Spear. It's a pity that it doesn't have any other specializations besides life steal and armor penetration. It's a little lacking. So I'm willing to offer 80. What do you think?"

"can!"

I immediately agreed. The price offered by "Dragon's Descent" might be slightly higher than the actual price of the gun, but I figured it was a premium due to its scarcity in the current market. So I said, "Let's trade on the player black market after we finish this mission. Tier 5 equipment, no rush."

"Yeah, okay!"

……

After dealing with the Spiked Butcher, the group unleashed their full firepower, annihilating the horde of mutants that had stormed into the abandoned warehouse. This process took more than two hours.

At this moment, when I turned to the north-facing window, I found that the players still hadn't broken into the core area of ​​the base. A large number of alien species had formed a strange tide on the outside, making it impossible for the players to push in.

"Damn, there are so many mutants..."

Cai Cai looked into the distance, a chill running down her spine.

"Ding Han, look over there."

Ruolin pointed and said, "There is a high wall connecting the abandoned warehouse and the hospital. Although it is a bit like a narrow bridge, if we go across it, we can reach the BOSS before other players and then collect information that may be beneficial to us."

"That's a bit risky..."

Fa Yechao frowned and said, "Sister Ruolin, you are really brave. What if we are discovered and attacked by the aliens halfway through? I'm afraid the final result will not be good."

"I'm just making a suggestion."

Zhang Ruolin smiled faintly: "The specific decision depends on the captain."

As a result, Cai Cai, Fatty, Kou Mei, and the others all turned their attention to me.

"Slowly brushing it out from the outside is also fine!"

I hesitated for a moment and said, "But as you all saw, the moment the mission started, it already indicated that the Scarlet Queen was laying eggs. Once the egg-laying is over, the mission will be considered a failure. If we proceed cautiously to the hospital, it might be too late by then. What do you think?"

"Is there a possibility..."

Huo Bingzhi said, "The original intention of this mission was for us to slowly advance and then kill the Crimson Queen?"

"not necessarily."

I chuckled and said, "Bingzi, do you really think the various mechanisms and settings in 'Star Abyss' are exactly the same as in the game? Often, things don't go as players expect."

"really……"

Ruolin frowned: "If we use conventional tactics, this mission may fail in the end. We've encountered similar situations before. In many aspects, the deep rules of 'Star Abyss' are quite unreasonable."

"So be it."

I said in a deep voice, "Everyone follow us. We'll cross the narrow bridge over the wall and be the first to enter the hospital area. We need to be quick. Find the Scarlet Queen and kill her. At worst, we'll lose a Resurrection Scripture!"

"Alright, that's settled then!"

Fa Ye Chaochen and Huo Bingzhi nodded in unison, their gazes hardening. In truth, their previous worries were simply that they were reluctant to part with the Holy Scripture of Resurrection, as this thing was far too rare and precious.

……

After carefully dismantling the ventilation fan on the outside of the abandoned warehouse, I measured the distance and said, "Just right. Stay close to me and keep your balance."

With that, he leaped and landed steadily on the wall with a "thud." His body swayed slightly, but he quickly regained his balance thanks to his agility. He then held the explosive gun horizontally in his arms and headed into the distance.

"Hiss..."

Below on both sides were densely packed Devourers and Crawlers, and in the distance there was even an orange figure, another Spine Butcher, being focused and shot by players from the Crimson Sky Alliance and the Old Court Guilds, roaring and charging towards the player crowd.

"drop!"

A message came from someone who was unassuming: "Ding Han, do you want to enter the hospital area?"

"Hmm, let's find out what the Crimson Queen is capable of first."

"Sure, but be careful. If needed, send a message. We, the former royal court, are confident we can break through and meet you."

"Okay, thank you!"

You're welcome~~

To be honest, this person is genuinely sincere, unlike some players who like to beat around the bush and whose interactions are always full of probing and exchanging favors.

"Follow behind!"

I jogged along the wall and then floated lightly into the hospital. There was no one around. It was probably to provide the Scarlet Queen with a quiet birthing environment that all the aliens had gathered outside the hospital!

Behind them, figures landed one after another, and Cai Cai, Ruo Lin, and others followed in.

"Let's go find the Scarlet Queen!"

I slumped forward, clutching the explosive gun, and opened the hospital rooms one by one.

The room was filled with gruesome scenes: a doctor whose skull had been ripped open and whose brain was being sucked out; a nurse who had been split in two by bone spurs; and a dried-up corpse on the hospital bed whose bodily fluids had been drained. Every scene was chilling.

"Fuck..."

Cai Cai frowned and said, "These mutants are fucking beasts, they have a real knack for killing people..."

"it's the same."

I said calmly, "Perhaps in the eyes of the alien species, we humans are also beasts. We show no mercy when killing them. We are hostile species to begin with, so there's nothing to say. Just do it!"

"really!"

Cai Cai took a deep breath: "The first floor check is complete. No Scarlet Queen found. Shall we go up to the second floor?"

"go!"

I hurried to the stairs and gently raised my hand: "I'll go first. The rest of you follow closely and support each other. Ruolin will bring up the rear to avoid being ambushed by the alien species."

"understand!"

After several rounds of practice, everyone has developed a good understanding of each other and can basically grasp the tactics in just a sentence or two.

On the second floor of the hospital, as soon as I went upstairs, I saw corpses, their life energy drained, hanging from the ceiling, swaying in the wind like wind chimes. Flies buzzed around them happily in the winter.

"Nima..."

The fat man glanced at the corpses and suppressed the urge to vomit.

“It stinks…”

I frowned, picked up the explosive pistol, and pointed it at an operating room ahead. The "operation in progress" light was still on, but the surrounding area was covered in blood and emitted a strong, nauseating stench.

Furthermore, hardened spiderwebs spread out from the operating room, clearly indicating that this was the Scarlet Queen's egg-laying site.

"grass……"

I frowned and said in the team chat: "Grenades ready... Everyone prepare five grenades. I'll blast open the operating room door and throw them all in. After the grenades explode, I'll rush in first, Ruolin and Bingzi will follow, and the rest of you will provide cover fire. Let's see what's going on with the Scarlet Queen first."

"OK!"

The next moment, everyone pulled out grenades, while I raised my bomb gun, aimed at the operating room door covered in hardened cobwebs, and pulled the trigger, firing all 60 bombs at once!
"Bang bang bang~~~"

Amidst the deafening roar, the hardened spiderweb sizzled, managing to withstand the power of the bomb gun. However, the bombs were scattered, and the operating room door behind it instantly turned into a sieve before collapsing with a crash!
"Grenade, throw it!"

At my command, the sound of grenades being thrown filled the air. As everyone rose and fell, explosions rang out continuously in the operating room, and sparks flew everywhere!
"on!"

Raising the Wind Chaser, accompanied by a deep hum, the power sword shone brightly, and the body rushed towards the operating room. The sword light spun and slashed at the hardened spider webs that were spreading outwards. Immediately, there was a continuous "snap snap snap" sound. Although the hardened spider webs were incredibly tough and hard, they could not withstand the sharpness of the power sword and were cut off one by one!
The moment I rushed into the operating room, a chill ran down my spine as I witnessed a horrifying scene.

On a massive operating table lies a mutated creature with a human face and a spider's body. Her body is embedded in a vast, extended nest that has merged the operating table into one. Her limbs have evolved into hardened tentacles covered in slime, and her abdomen is horribly swollen, like a giant queen ant. Inside her belly are countless parasitic eggs that seem to be wriggling, a truly gruesome sight.

The Scarlet Queen, it really is her!
The next second, the Scarlet Queen's beautiful face turned to us, dozens of antenna-like tentacles on her head that could emit biological signals trembled wildly, a sinister smile on her lips, and she let out a hissing roar!
"Fuck..."

The fat man stared in disbelief, almost paralyzed with fear. At that moment, I immediately shared the Crimson Queen's attribute guide that I had retrieved in the team chat.

【Crimson Queen】(Blue Boss)

Rating: 55
Attack: 4550-5200
Defense: 2600
Qi and blood: 10000000
Skills: [Hardened Spider Web Lv10], [Mental Control Lv10], [Infinite Egg Laying Lv10]

Details: The Crimson Queen, a Tier 5 mutant, possesses a massive body embedded within an incredibly hardened nest. Her unique physical structure allows her to spray indestructible hardened spider webs to reinforce her fortifications and build her own impregnable palace. The nerve tentacles extending from her head can release powerful biological neural signals, enabling her to control not only all infected creatures in the vicinity but also, for a short period, human actions. Be extremely careful if you encounter the Crimson Queen; she is a true tyrant!

……

"Do it!"

Without saying a word, I immediately launched a combo of Heavenly Creation, War Cry, Unstoppable Force, Step Slash, and Rising Dragon Slash. But just as the Rising Dragon Slash was unleashed, a huge "block" appeared above the Crimson Queen's head!

Not good!

It was a resistance, not a miss, which means that the Rising Dragon Slash didn't miss, but rather that the Crimson Queen has a hidden attribute of "immunity to all control"!
"You damned people!"

The next second, the Scarlet Queen's eyes glowed red, her expression was violent, and it was as if a red antenna rose from the top of her head. With a "hum", a wave of bio-information swept across, and then I suddenly lost control of my body and turned around to slash at Ruolin with my sword!

Fatty, with a fierce look on his face, raised his explosive gun and hit Cai Cai on the forehead with "bang bang bang". Huo Bingzhi raised his longsword and stabbed Fa Yechao in the waist with a "plop". Kou Mei raised her mental power scepter and landed a starburst spell on my forehead!

Oh no, everyone's in chaos!
