Chapter 212
Once the inhibitors in the first-aid kit are injected, they will gather together and quickly evacuate the scene.
Rhodes Island's strategy of rescuing infected individuals and then fleeing requires a high degree of battlefield mobility.
This is also why Operator like Huang initially didn't have a high opinion of Penguin Logistics Messenger.
Rhodes Island is a pharmaceutical company, not a military. No matter how strong its fighting capabilities are, it still has to retreat when necessary.
If there is a lack of mobility, it is easy to fall behind the main force En route the withdrawal. If an entire team falls behind, it will directly slow down the pace of the entire operation.
Roll up your sleeves, apply iodine, and insert the needle!
Faster, faster!
Rhodes Island's Medical Operator are racing against time. Unfortunately, Yarbing seems to be assembling faster than expected.
With the inhibitors already half depleted, Scout's voice came through the Walkie-Talkie:
"Amiya, we have spotted two troop groups that are gathering, numbering around six hundred. Please complete the evacuation within ten minutes. I will provide long-range fire support from higher ground to buy as much time as possible."
"Receive!"
Amiya, with a serious expression, came over to inform the medical team members on the main street:
"Everyone, time is running out! Please administer the inhibitors within ten minutes and evacuate together! The second escort team will be there to meet you on the En route."
Those infected at the scene also heard the shouts.
Many of them didn't know what Rhodes Island was; they just came to take advantage of the free inhibitors. Upon hearing this, the infected rolled up their sleeves, making it easier for the Medical Operator to administer the injections quickly.
In such a serious and urgent atmosphere, only the Special Operations Team's style was a little abnormal.
If someone observes carefully,
It can be seen that Exusiai, Lappland, and others all have smiles in their eyes.
Upon hearing Shi Lei say "to Rearguard," they immediately understood.
The Rearguard is there to protect the designated target during evacuation.
However, as long as the surrounded enemy forces are completely annihilated, the designated target can still be protected and evacuated.
This is how Penguin Logistics Rearguard.
276 You call this "the Rearguard"? (3K)
Three medical teams are racing against time to administer inhibitors to the infected individuals in order to save as many lives as possible.
Warfarin learned from the Walkie-Talkie that the Special Operations Team was to stay behind to Rearguard, and she took the initiative to come over.
Mudrock was very wary of this Bloodfiend, so he stepped forward and stood between the two of them, asking:
"Is there something you need?"
Warfarin lifted her clothes and pulled out a bag of blood plasma:
"I heard you're going to Rearguard, and I regret that I can't stay and fight alongside you. Here is a special blood plasma; drinking it will effectively enhance your combat power, but there will be a slight side effect."
Mr. Zhong is Medical Operator; he should be able to minimize the impact of this side effect.
Shi Lei only needs the Jade Shield; he doesn't need any other amplifying drugs.
"I appreciate Doctor. Warfarin's kindness, but we don't need it, I'm sorry."
Seeing that the other party refused, Warfarin extended the hand holding the blood plasma toward Exusiai:
"Would you like to try it? This blood plasma should give you a different experience."
Exusiai's face fell, and she waved her hand in refusal. Who would dare drink blood of unknown origin?
"No, no, you should drink it yourself."
Warfarin inquired with the other Messenger, but received no positive response. She glanced at Shi Lei before turning and leaving with the blood plasma, urging the Medical Operator to hurry.
Less than a minute later, Scout's voice came through the Walkie-Talkie again:
"Attention all medical teams! Evacuate immediately! A force of over 400 men is heading towards our This Ship's location, presumably to block our retreat. Another force of 200 men is heading towards the Slums!"
A few seconds later, Amiya gave the order to start the battle:
"Escort Team Two, in coordination with the sniper team, will hold off the advance force to buy time for the medical team to evacuate. The This Ship's reserves have begun their assault on the checkpoint and will clear obstacles along the way. Once the medical team is confirmed to be out of the way, retreat immediately. Do not linger in the battle!"
Shi Lei pressed the speakerphone button so that all the Messenger present could hear the combat command arrangements.
Seeing that there was no follow-up, Exusiai grinned and said:
"These guys are really ruthless, actually trying to seize this This Ship. Since they're so heartless, don't blame me for not being polite with my muskets later."
Shi Lei wasn't a saint; he wouldn't offer to spare their lives at a time like this. Terra was not a peaceful world; one couldn't judge it using the Morality standards of their pre-transmigration period.
"That's right. There's a Chinese idiom in Yan that means 'to repay evil with justice.' They tried to drive Rhodes Island to its doom first, so they can't blame us for retaliating."
Lappland bared her fangs, looking eager and ready to fight.
"Zhongli, can you just put on a shield and not attack this time? Let us have some fun. I believe you accepted the commission just like me, waiting for this."
"Sure, but if you're going to go on a killing spree in the city, do you need to wear masks to cover your faces?"
As he spoke, Shi Lei created several Rock Element masks, which could be finely adjusted to fit the face after being worn.
"What's the use of just covering your face? They can cover their ears to prevent their race from being recognized, but I have such a big halo above my head, unless you have..."
Before Exusiai finish speaking, he created an oversized helmet and wrapped it around her head. Because he needed to conceal her halo without making it stand out, Exusiai wearing the helmet looked like she had grown a huge head, appearing extremely strange.
"Ha ha ha ha."
Lappland burst into laughter, finding her behavior particularly comical.
When Shi Lei entered the city, he didn't find any surveillance cameras on the streets. Although Ursus and Yan were neighboring countries, he always felt that their technological level was much lower.
The range of influence of the Jade Shield is no longer 50 meters; its length is related to the cultivation level and years.
With each additional year of cultivation, the diameter of the area of influence expands by 10 meters, up to a maximum of 6000 meters.
Shi Lei advanced to the Archon Realm last May, and ten months have passed since then, up to March of this year. During this time, the Golden Dragon Eyes has never been canceled, adding one year's worth of cultivation every day.
His Jade Shield's area of influence has now expanded to a radius of 1.5 kilometers and a diameter of 3 kilometers.
In other words, Shi Lei doesn't need to stay in the Slums. He only needs to include the members of the special operations team and the medical team within a circle centered on himself.
Seeing that everyone had put on their masks, he began to speak:
"Alright, alright, let's get ready to go. Mudrock, you and Miss Nian take the medical team and retreat first. If we encounter that 400-person team on the way, stall them for now. We'll deal with those 200 people and then return to reinforce them."
Xi actually has the ability to protect herself; she can easily draw several strangely shaped Mo Liang for protection. But this was Shi Lei's arrangement, and she couldn't bring herself to resist.
"Yes, Doctor Zhong!"
"If anyone doesn't want to fight, or feels unwell, they can come with them now. Otherwise, we'll have to set off."
Yarbing, snowy streets.
Guard Team Two and Scout
He led Sniper Team to intercept the enemy's advance troops at this location.
With only a dozen or so Operator against more than two hundred, they were at a significant disadvantage in numbers. However, Rhodes Island's forces were elite, capable of using snipers and casters for ranged attrition.
Even so, they still struggled a lot.
The enemy appeared to be the Marquis's private army; after losing several men, they sent out shield-bearing soldiers to lead the charge. This rendered Rhodes Island's ranged attacks largely ineffective.
At the rear of the vanguard were several men, two or three meters tall, wearing black helmets and chains. They were very strong and their explosive power must have been astonishing.
"Captain, they're pushing it over!"
"Let's ambush them at the next intersection! Let's retreat first!"
Just then, a man wearing an oversized helmet arrived at the street corner carrying a musket:
"Aha, we've arrived. Now, send me to hell."
Exusiai carried only solid shot on this mission. Upon spotting enemy forces, she unleashed a burst of fire.
She was an excellent marksman, able to aim at gaps that the Shield Guard couldn't protect and send bullets to the rear.
Who is this?
The Rhodes Island Operator looked puzzled until they saw the clothes and then they realized what was going on.
"It looks like Sarkaz from the Special Operations Team?"
As they spoke, the remaining Messenger arrived at the battlefield. Two wielded swords, and one a hammer. They disregarded the overwhelming number of enemy troops and charged headlong into the enemy ranks. This action greatly startled the Rhodes Island Operator.
"Danger! Come back quickly!"
"Don't go over there! You're going to your deaths!"
Scout, who was originally preparing to move from a high place, looked extremely serious upon seeing this.
This kind of fighting style, which completely disregards defense and only knows how to attack, is simply suicidal!
Are these guys out of their minds?
Seeing the four men bypass the Shield Guard and charge into the center, the team's commander shared the same doubts as Scout.
"Tighten formation! Deal with these overconfident bugs first!"
These masked figures were surrounded and seemed poised to die at any moment.
But they didn't fall down, and even killed the surrounding soldiers without getting hurt.
"This... how is this possible?!"
The commander rubbed his eyes and clearly saw the crossbow bolt hit its target, but they were unharmed.
Something's not right, something's not right with these people!
"Hey, that sounds like the commander over there."
"Don't try to take it from me, it's my prey!"
Seeing these people chatting and laughing even while being surrounded by a group of attackers sent chills down the commander's spine.
Monsters, they are all unkillable monsters!
"Don't block my way, get out of the way!"
"* Ursus profanity*, there's a bomb!"
Before the commander could give the order, the soldiers on the scene shouted for a retreat. It turned out that the big-headed monster had activated an Originium bomb, intending to take everyone down with it.
But in order to prevent these people from escaping, they had already formed a four-sided encirclement. Trying to run from the crowd to safety in two or three seconds was as difficult as climbing to the sky.
"BOOM!"
The violent explosion was like a firework display by the Grim Reaper, instantly engulfing the nearest thirty or forty people.
Just as the Rhodes Island Operator were mourning his bravery and paying their respects to the members of the Special Operations Team.
However, they discovered that the four Messenger were completely unharmed and were still chasing after the enemy commander.
"..."
Silence, a long silence.
The Rhodes Island operator were dumbfounded, feeling that their worldview had been greatly overturned.
They stared blankly at the scene, utterly at a loss for words to describe their feelings.
It's quite impressive if one person can charge into enemy lines and hold out for even a few minutes. These four women charged in and managed to break through the encirclement without sustaining any damage.
With such formidable strength, battlefield mobility seems less important.
Seeing the four Messenger fighting like war gods, Scout's expression became extremely solemn.
In the blink of an eye, the vanguard of two hundred men had already suffered heavy casualties. Texas and Croissant were finishing off the wounded. Every sword strike and every hammer blow was aimed directly at vital points, without any hesitation.
Lappland and Exusiai are gradually approaching the fleeing enemy commander.
The heavily armored Shield Guard with large shields at the very front were now completely useless.
