In the evening, as Su Jiu prepared to practice with Zhao Yun, Chi Yang sent a message.
"Captain, intruders detected, confirmed to be Taotie."
Su Jiu walked towards the command room while asking, "How many?"
"The Captain isn't a person, but an Armor Warrior."
Then a video was sent, showing six three-meter-tall white armored Taotie warriors with mechanical wings, flying towards Juxia City.
Su Jiu retorted, "What the hell is an Armor Warrior? Chi Yang, you're getting mischievous."
"Captain, I am also learning."
Su Jiu ignored Chi Yang's playfulness and asked in the Guild Channel, "Who's in Juxia City?"
Baili Shouyue: "I am. I've been keeping an eye on a girl with a lot of sniper potential lately, planning to make contact."
Su Jiu: "Some Taotie warriors are heading to Juxia City. Shouyue, go take out those Taotie warriors, and be careful."
Baili Shouyue: "I know, Captain."
Su Jiu: "...?"
Liu Chuang: "Xiao Jiu, didn't you see the Guild Task? A task was refreshed 10 minutes ago."
Su Jiu: "...Okay! Alright, Shouyue, be careful, call for support anytime if you can't handle it."
After Su Jiu finished speaking, he opened the task module, and a task was updated on it.
Task: "Taotie's Probe: Six Taotie warriors are preparing to test China's combat power. Go and eliminate those who invade China. Task location: Near Feiliu District Airport."
Task Requirements:
① Eliminate all invaders.
Reward: 3000 Energy Coins.
Task Accepted: Accepted by Baili Shouyue.
Su Jiu: ...mmp, didn't even notice the task section.
At this time, Grey Wolf, who was working hard in the laboratory, spoke up, "Mr. Shouyue, please bring back a Taotie warrior for me."
Baili Shouyue: "Alive? Mr. Grey Wolf."
Grey Wolf: "No need, just make sure the armor is intact. I want to study the Taotie warrior's armor."
Baili Shouyue: "Alright, gotta go, the girl I'm watching is heading to my task location."
Su Jiu looked at the déjà vu in front of him, feeling a bit familiar. Su Jiu looked at the video in the command room again, slapped his thigh, and remembered.
Guild Channel...
Su Jiu: "Shouyue, is the girl you're watching named Qi Lin?"
Baili Shouyue: "Yes, Captain. Do you have any other instructions?"
Su Jiu: "Never mind, continue with your task."
Baili Shouyue followed a police car all the way to the vicinity of Feiliu District Airport.
Seeing that a fight had already broken out, Baili Shouyue didn't hesitate. He took out his sniper rifle from his personal space backpack, aimed, and fired. A Taotie warrior fell headfirst from the sky.
The other Taotie warriors saw that one of them was dead and immediately said, "There's a sniper! Scatter and eliminate those ordinary people."
Beams of laser light shot down from the sky, "Beep beep beep beep." The people below suffered immediately. Looking again, the chest of the girl he was watching was pierced.
A surge of anger filled Baili Shouyue's chest.
He raised his gun and pulled the trigger. A red light flashed, and another Taotie warrior was GG.
The other four Taotie warriors located Baili Shouyue and fired lasers at his position.
But another red light flashed, and another Taotie warrior was scrapped.
The other three Taotie looked and saw more than a dozen Baili Shouyue aiming at them with guns on the highway, on top of cars, and on streetlights.
Baili Shouyue didn't hold back. Three red lights from three directions, and three Taotie warriors lay on the ground. Then, more than a dozen Baili Shouyue disappeared, leaving only one.
Baili Shouyue stepped forward, dragged a Taotie warrior with a headshot, and threw it into the newly opened wormhole.
Then he walked to Qi Lin, whose chest had been pierced, squatted down, and saw that she wasn't dead. He picked up Qi Lin and contacted, "Captain, those Taotie acted too fast. I just killed one, and the rest immediately cleared the field. It's really damn hateful. One is still alive and seems to have a Super Gene."
"Next time you encounter enemies, don't leave them a chance to breathe. If you can solve it in one second, never solve it in two seconds."
"Yes, Captain. But what about this girl in front of you, Captain?"
"Let me think of a way. How about this? Bring her back to the Hyperion. I'll have a simulated robot replace her. But this one is a Super Gene carrier, so she can't die. Will that work?"
"Captain, nothing is impossible. It doesn't hurt to try, right?"
"Okay, bring her back! But you only have three hours. If it's too long, we might get discovered. Send her back after you've dealt with it."
Su Jiu thought about the original story in the command room.
In the original story, there weren't so many Taotie warriors. But Qi Lin was still the same as in the original story. It seemed that things couldn't be the same as before according to the original story. After all, this wasn't a cartoon, it was real life now. And it was hard to say about things that didn't appear in the original story.
You say Su Jiu is a coward? Not necessarily. In the real world, anything can happen. Su Jiu's current position doesn't allow him to do whatever he wants. Different positions create different people. Su Jiu is also changing slowly. It's best to plan before acting.
Take it one step at a time. In this world full of old schemers, you'll die without even leaving ashes. How will you build everyone's Utopia then?
Baili Shouyue brought Qi Lin back and arrived at the medical area. Su Er was already waiting beside her.
Baili Shouyue put Qi Lin on the bed. Su Er stepped forward to check. After two injections, she clapped her hands and said, "Brother Baili, this sister is fine. The Super Gene in her body is helping her recover slowly. All I can do is speed up the recovery. This young lady will recover in at most an hour. I'm going to play now. Goodbye, Brother Baili." After Su Er finished speaking, she ran away with her short legs.
Baili Shouyue looked at the girl in front of him, her police uniform stained red with blood. He had an indescribable feeling. Then, Baili Shouyue stepped out of the medical area.
In the command room, only Zhao Yun and Su Jiu were discussing matters. Baili Shouyue walked forward.
"Captain, I want to take a gamble."
Su Jiu knew what Baili Shouyue meant and said, "Are you sure you want to gamble?"
"I'll gamble."
"Okay, I'll add some stakes. I'll give you the Star Fate and 50,000 Green Crystal Bullets." Su Jiu handed the items to Baili.
"Captain, aren't you curious?"
Su Jiu laughed and said, "What am I curious about? Can't I just believe you? Besides, Star Fate was originally yours, wasn't it?"
Baili Shouyue originally wanted to say something, but hesitated and didn't speak, leaving directly with his weapon.
Su Jiu turned to look at Zhao Yun, "Zilong, you want to ask me why, right?"
Zhao Yun didn't answer, waiting for Su Jiu's explanation.
Su Jiu continued, "Zilong, we are all family, there's nothing to hesitate about. Whatever Baili wants to do, we'll support him. Even if he's wrong this time, and wrong next time, it doesn't matter, because Baili is family. Even if he's wrong, I'll help him carry it."
Zhao Yun's face showed first question, then understanding, then shock, and finally a smile.
Zhao Yun smiled and said, "Captain, Zilong understands, thank you, Captain."
Su Jiu smiled happily when he heard the word "Captain."
Since Zhao Yun appeared, he had always maintained a superior-subordinate posture, unable to integrate into the group. Although some people didn't understand, Su Jiu saw it clearly and had a headache. Now Zhao Yun understood.
What Su Jiu wanted wasn't some general, not someone who was rigid and inflexible, but someone who could fight alongside this Utopia, someone who could play and joke with everyone, someone who could brainstorm with everyone, not someone who brainstormed for him, Su Jiu, alone, someone who fought for him, Su Jiu, alone.
Tsk tsk, thinking about designing a support character and a swordsman, what good character templates do we have?
