The same as after the breakthrough, when everyone worked together to defeat the silver-white water snake, the lake was calm, and there was no danger coming, which also gave the supernatural team a little time to breathe.
“The end of the world has been formed for a long time,” Liang Xian gathered several squad leaders together, “Long-term evolution has brought about unpredictable changes in the creatures of this world, this is my prediction error. Before I classified the difficulty as C-level, now it seems that this may be a B-level world.”
Tian Shen II, who was perfectly satisfied1心滿意足 xīn mǎn yì zú: perfectly contented; perfectly satisfied. after shooting the material and returning to the ship said: “The database has been updated, the other worlds can’t be rated simply because of the type, but also related to the time when the end of the world was formed. For example, in a world where the earth stops rotating, the danger levels in the early, middle, and final stages are completely different, and will weaken as the end of the world progresses. In contrast, a world like global evolution or infection may become difficult over time.”
Seeing Tian Shen II automatically update the database, Liang Xian will not go into details, the most urgent task is to bring everyone to Ping County, not to analyze the end of the world. When they return to the real world, the research team will refine the world type and difficulty based on their experiences.
We’re not fighting alone, we have the backing of the whole country, the world, and even all human beings, their support will become the driving force for us to move forward. Liang Xian secretly thought in his heart.
Ah San, who climbed up from the water to catch his breath, followed Liang Xian’s words and said: “If it’s the beginning of global evolution, the overall structure of the city is still there, the landscape won’t change much, and the crazy evolution of species is only in the initial stage, just like the alternate account just created in the game, the combat effectiveness is average, no team is formed, both action and battle are much easier than the current situation.
But now, the landscape has undergone drastic changes, and the evolved species have formed factions and learned to fight together, possessing rudimentary intelligence. Under such circumstances, it can be said that it’s difficult to move forward.”
“But there are also advantages,” Another veteran member of the supernatural team, Tu Zishi, said next, “The advantage of the team battle is that when we win the BOSS, it is equivalent to conquering this map. Like the jungle wall just now, the silver water snake in the water, after defeating them, we will not be attacked again in this environment, unless there is a bigger BOSS.”
Qin Li, who has always been silent, also said: “The landform change is completed, the territory is clearly divided, there will be no unexpected situations such as a lion suddenly appearing in the water, the number of unexpected situations is reduced, and it is easier to make pre-battle deployment according to the characteristics of the terrain.”
Several people made a detailed analysis of the current situation, unlike in the past, when only Liang Xian was able to make a general judgment.
A squad leader of a supernatural team sighed: “You instructors are obviously younger than us, and most of you are just students, but have such a strong ability to cope with the situation and comprehensive analysis.”
If he hadn’t said anything, the members of the supernatural team wouldn’t have realized that they had become completely different2脫胎換骨 tuō tāi huàn gǔ: to shed one’s mortal body and exchange one’s bones; born again Daoist; to turn over a new leaf; fig. to change wholly; to create from other material (story, artwork etc)..
Yan Yongfeng smiled: “Back then, in a world of parasitic monsters, we were trembling with fear from a group of monsters that opened their mouths and spit out tentacles, hiding behind Tan Yan, couldn’t even do the most basic auxiliary combat, and could only rely on his protection.
In retrospect, that world was actually very simple, it was just a D-rank world. The parasitic monsters have a single attack method, and have obvious weaknesses, even without supernatural powers, can be fought with heavy weapons.”
But at that time, they were more useless than the others.
Qiu Qizheng said to the sentimental team leader: “No need to rush, take your time, just experience a few more worlds.”
Growth is not just a paper exercise, only through the polishing of blood and tears can they really grow up.
Tan Yan looked at the young soldiers who were discussing together, quietly listening to the sound of the hourglass of time continuing to pass.
The organization asked him and the little deer to follow the team this time because they were worried in case of an unexpected situation, three hundred newly awakened soldiers would be unable to deal with it, Tan Yan, the humanoid nuclear weapon, is the last guarantee.
But now it seems that the soldiers are handling it well and don’t need his help.
Stroking the little deer’s head, Tan Yan showed a heartfelt smile.
After sailing safely for an hour, Liang Xian took the lead to disembark, stepped on the ground, and frowned slightly.
The ground is muddy, and ahead are endless shrubs.
Shrub swamp.
“The situation is worse than I expected.” Liang Xian jumped into the ship, leaving a row of muddy shoe prints.
“Swamp?” The sharp-eyed Yan Yongfeng asked.
“Um,” Liang Xian nodded solemnly, “Jungles, lakes, swamps, the familiar B City has become a huge wetland system in this world.”
Wetlands are known as the kidneys of the earth, together with the forests as the ‘lungs of the earth’ and oceans as the ‘heart of the earth’, they constitute the three major ecosystems of the earth, it’s a collective name for various marsh and wet areas in land, flowing water, still water, estuaries, and marine systems. Wetlands are ecosystems with a variety of unique functions on the earth, covering only 6% of the earth’s surface, but providing a living environment for 20% of the known species on the earth.
Such an environment is home to a myriad of unknown evolved organisms, the dangers of wetlands are more unpredictable than those of forests and oceans with a single biological structure.
But now Liang Xian is more worried about the means of transportation, it’s difficult for ordinary land vehicles to move in the swamp, and helicopters can only accommodate more than thirty people at most, but they have five hundred people.
Ah San thought for a moment and said: “It seems that only hovercraft can be used, we don’t have a hovercraft, can you do it?”
The hovercraft navigation resistance is very small, and the speed can reach as high as 6080km/h, suitable for use in river rapids, dangerous beaches, and swamps, at present, the world’s largest hovercraft can accommodate about 400 people, they need at least two hovercraft.
Liang Xian carefully recalled the design drawings of the hovercraft he had seen before, and said not very confidently: “Can try it.”
Yang Da Ma took out the existing means of transportation in the space, and everyone disembarked and gathered at the lake, carefully watching their feet. Although the environment is very harsh, everyone still stands in their own position, and the uninjured supernatural beings protect everyone from the outside.
Liang Xian stood in the vehicle with a solemn expression, with his ability, it was okay to modify the existing subway power supply, but it was really difficult to make such a large hovercraft out of thin air.
In fact, there is a way to cross the swamp, the nomadic Evenks3鄂溫克 Èwēnkè: The Evenks (also spelled Ewenki or Evenki based on their endonym Ewenkī(l)), are a Tungusic people of North Asia. In Russia, the Evenks are recognised as one of the Indigenous peoples of the Russian North, with a population of 38,396 (2010 census). In China, the Evenki form one of the 56 ethnic groups officially recognised by the People’s Republic of China, with a population of 30,875 (2010 census). people in Siberia use a wooden sled pulled by reindeer to cross the swamp, the strength of the little deer is very strong, he can pull five hundred people.
Compared with a hovercraft with a complex structure, it’s very simple to make a sliding wooden sled that can accommodate five hundred people.
But…
Liang Xian looked at the little deer, this leisurely deer was turning around beside Tan Yan, as if showing off his long four legs, with a fondness and proud look.
The little deer has special feelings for Liang Xian and Tan Yan, and he will not refuse if he asks him to pull the wooden sled.
No good, Liang Xian said to himself in his heart.
Whether it is Tan Yan or the little deer, they have countless ways to overcome the difficulties in front of them, but their purpose this time is to train soldiers and cultivate future supernatural teams, they can no longer rely on them.
It’s okay, his consciousness is very strong.
Liang Xian secretly cheered himself up, wrapped the vehicle around him with consciousness, kept recalling the design drawings of the hovercraft in his mind, and used all his strength to deconstruct the existing vehicles and reconstruct them into hovercrafts.
Liang Xian struggled to deconstruct it, but in the eyes of others, he just opened his arms, and the transportation around him disintegrated and began to turn into other things.
“I’ve witnessed countless miracles today,” A U.S. scientist said, “Whether it’s this strange and weird world, or the supernatural being.”
Liang Xian’s ability is very practical in an unfamiliar world, he can solve the problem of shortage of existing materials, and cooperate with Yang Da Ma, which is a mobile arsenal.
In the sight of everyone, a huge hovercraft appeared on the ground. This hovercraft can accommodate about 350 people, and there are twenty small hovercraft with a capacity of about 10 people beside it.
The rest of the materials were reassembled into cars by Liang Xian, and Yang Da Ma put them away.
Leaning on the hovercraft with his hand, he breathlessly said: “Ordinary people and the wounded get on the big boat, thirty soldiers are assigned to protect them, the rest go on small boats and drive around the big boat, flexibly protecting the people on board.”
After finishing speaking, Liang Xian lay down on the big boat, the transformation just now almost exhausted his consciousness, now he has a severe headache, and thinking has become a problem.
Lying on the boat, Liang Xian pointed to Qiu Qizheng and said: “I want to enter a state of sleep to restore consciousness quickly, it will take about two hours, you lead the team during this period of time, Chai San will assist.”
Qiu Qizheng is not the strongest, but his ability is the most special. His organizational and leadership skills are no worse than Liang Xian’s, but he lacks experience, and his ability to handle unexpected events needs to be honed, so he needs Ah San to assist him.
After making the arrangement, Liang Xian lost his strength and fell asleep, becoming one of the wounded.
The team didn’t panic because of his loss of strength, Qiu Qizheng, who took over the baton, was arranging the people to board the ship in an orderly manner, standing beside him were five supernatural beings with different abilities, so that he could gather their strengths and choose the most suitable one in an emergency.
After everything was ready, before starting the hovercraft, Qiu Qizheng said directly: “Burn!”
There are a lot of shrubs in the shrub swamp, which is not suitable for large fleets, coupled with the ecological complexity of the swamp, amphibians, reptiles, birds, insects, and other species are abundant, these animals are small in size and can hide in the shrubs to sneak attack. Instead of becoming flustered4手忙腳亂 Shǒu máng jiǎo luàn: to act with confusion; to be in a flurry; to be flustered. after being attacked, it’s better to eliminate the hidden danger from the beginning.
Qiu Qizheng is also a ruthless person who can decisively give such an order. He usually doesn’t talk much, but every time he speaks, he coordinates the interpersonal relationships of the team members, he takes special care of Cui Heyu, who often offends others with his words, and can strictly carry out the tasks assigned by his superiors.
Liang Xian handed over the team to Qiu Qizheng, he knew that he was not as powerful as Tan Yan and as insightful as Liang Xian. Then he can only use the simplest and most brutal method to eliminate hidden dangers.
This time, because they knew the type of the world in advance, everyone carried a complete set of supplies. Not only is Yang Da Ma’s space full of weapons, but there are also many weapons among the team members. Despite the large number of flamethrowers used in the jungle, there are still quite a few left here.
In the other world, if one can use weapons, one should use them as much as possible and not waste abilities.
The flamethrower was launched again, and with the aid of wind energy, the shrubs burned quickly, countless bugs hiding in the shrubs flew out, through the telescope in their hands, even ordinary people could see how terrifying those bugs were.
Mosquitoes that come out at night are about the size of a fist on average, and the straws on their mouths are like steel needles, a few mosquitoes will probably be able to kill an adult human. And the densely packed mosquitoes flew out of the large shrubs, they ‘buzzed’ and flew towards the crowd, their wings swept across the shrubs, like a steel knife sweeping down countless branches.
Can this still be called mosquitoes?!
The most frightening is that such a large mosquito is not just one, but a large group, at least a hundred thousand according to preliminary visual inspection.
They flew up into the sky, blocking the starry sky, and rushed over in darkness.
There were even some people on board who couldn’t control their screams, even if the soldiers were well-trained, and wouldn’t scream, but the dense mosquitoes also made many people suffer from an intensive phobia, and goose bumps appeared on their bodies.
Qiu Qizheng tared at the mosquitoes without blinking, and gave the order at the moment they came up: “Defend!”
Qin Li led three defensive supernatural beings with him to protect all the twenty-one hovercraft, at the same time, the combustion bombs hidden in the side of the hovercraft on the protective wall exploded, and everyone in the protective wall heard the ‘buzzing’ sound of mosquitoes becoming sharper, as if they were struggling in pain.
After burning for about half an hour, Qiu Qizheng asked Qin Li to release the protective wall after Tu Zishi confirmed that it was safe, everyone poked their heads out and found that the side of the ship was full of black mosquito corpses, each with a dead look that was shocking to the eyes.
This is one of the swamp creatures.
Ah San thought for a while, and comforted everyone: “Don’t think so scary, the swamp creatures in the ordinary world are not so scary, they can form a complete ecological chain, and there will be no group extinction. But such a large mosquito, according to common sense, the population cannot be so large, after all, the swamp resources are limited. The number of mosquito swarms means that countless creatures must have been eliminated during evolution, and the species left in the swamp must have decreased a lot.”
His words reassured everyone a lot, if all the bugs in the swamp ecology were alive and evolved to be as terrible as the mosquitoes, then it would be impossible for them to leave here.
But Ah San is right, evolution means large-scale elimination, in order to compete for the limited resources and space in the swamp environment, it’s impossible for this land to have groups that can fight against mosquitoes.
At least the insects are gone.
Qiu Qizheng looked up at the sky, they’d been here for more than eight hours, the sky was gradually turning bright, and the night was about to pass. After dawn, many attacks become visible to the naked eye, making counterattacks relatively easy.
He didn’t rush to let the team move forward, but waited a while to confirm that the mosquitoes were either burned to death or smoked away, and then proceeded confidently.
The number of mosquito corpses is definitely not as many as they encountered, it should be that they left quickly after finding out that they were not a good stubble. These creatures have a certain intelligence, and know how to cooperate with the attack, there may be different creatures attacking everyone after dawn.
At this time the sun had struggled to rise from the horizon, and a large area of shrubs in front was also violently cleared, after Ah San led the water-type supernatural person to extinguish the flames, the hovercraft finally started.
Tan Yan let Liang Xian rest on his lap, looking at Qiu Qizheng who took over the commander’s responsibility, a stone fell from his heart.
Even without Liang Xian who had a miraculous encounter, the supernatural team didn’t back down in the slightest.
This is not a team that relies on one person.
