Reduced Numbers (Second Update, Plus Edition)
A huge curtain of light, as brilliant as diamonds and as dazzling as the aurora, floated in the sky.
It was a light even more dazzling and radiant than the aurora borealis, drifting slowly westward like a fairy's ribbon fluttering in the wind.
Li Yao used his spiritual senses to briefly perceive the situation.
They discovered that the surrounding void was filled with a large amount of Aether Energy. This Aether Energy disrupted the spatial phase, forming a continuous and strange "wave" that spread outwards, like ripples. The source of this wave was the Fire Rainbow Aurora in the sky!
Ginawell immediately jumped up from the ground and quickly gathered the equipment from the car! The others followed suit!
Seeing Li Yao still staring blankly at the sky, Ginawell became anxious. "What are you looking at! Pack your things and get ready to go in!"
At this moment, some of the faster ones had already shouldered their pre-prepared backpacks, started their cars, and chased after them!
The Fire Rainbow Aurora was huge; it looked very close, but you actually had to walk a long way to see it.
After being urged by Ginawell, Li Yao pretended to return to his off-road vehicle and take out his backpack.
Meanwhile, Ginawell's team was all ready. Ginawell started the pickup truck and was now leaning against the shaking truck window, banging on the door and urging, "Hurry up! Let's go!"
They're still using English!
Li Yao nimbly jumped into the pickup truck, and the car started immediately.
The grand convoy sped toward the aurora borealis.
Li Yao stood up from the carriage and looked ahead at the impressive convoy, which even resembled a million lions crossing the Yangtze River.
Human beings are indeed passionate and tireless in their pursuit of wealth.
Amid the bumpy ride, Li Yao looked at Silas and said, "Don't you think these people are similar to the gold prospectors and cowboys of the American West?"
"A scoundrel who engages in speculation and profiteering!" Silas's eyes remained calm. "Aren't you?"
Li Yao: "We are different."
He came here for an on-site inspection!
That's right.
In Li Yao's eyes, the subspace over there had become a huge magical material gathering field.
This is the mindset of a Buddhist monk.
Silas clearly didn't believe it, but he didn't argue. He just turned his face away.
But after this parting, Silas's expression suddenly changed!
He looked as if he had discovered an irreconcilable enemy; his eyes suddenly widened, bursting with intense light, and his expression twisted in pain!
Silas roared, "Fukosandi!"
After yelling, he immediately stood up and jumped out of the car. His jumping ability was astonishing; he jumped incredibly high! Ginawell, hearing the commotion, immediately prepared to cling to the car window and shout for him to come back...
It was at this moment that, as the pickup truck and the numerous Fire Rainbow Aurora that were completely swept over, Li Yao suddenly felt a sense of dislocation—a feeling of sudden descent like bungee jumping or a feeling of weightlessness like being suddenly thrown up. The two opposing sensations even appeared at the same time, causing his brain signals to become somewhat disordered.
As for the present...
The disorienting sensations and flashing flames rapidly alternating made it impossible for Li Yao to see anything! When the scene before him returned, a wave of nausea immediately washed over Li Yao.
He immediately took a deep breath to forcefully suppress the feeling.
Meanwhile, the five black men in the back of the car, excluding the older black man, all started retching by the side of the car.
At that moment, Lothar's voice came from inside. "We need to find Silas!"
Ginawell pulled at her hair. "How many times have I told you to obey orders, obey orders! Why are you still so impulsive!"
Lothar: "We have his position here."
Li Yao jumped out of the car. "You guys are quite well prepared."
Ginawell replied while operating the equipment, "Anything can happen in the warp. There was even a warp where everyone would be randomly teleported once they entered. It's quite troublesome."
This is also the difference between a novice and an expert.
Experienced players are always better prepared.
When a group of people rush into the warp, the first thing they need to face is not the other humans who rushed in, but the warp environment itself.
The basic elements for human survival also exist in most subspace regions near Earth's space where life exists.
However, some subspaces are quite bizarre.
For example, a world that is entirely water...
Li Yao had seen relevant cases; it was said that some adventurers who went in were swollen up after being soaked in the water!
Of course, many more people didn't make it out.
Ginawell tossed a wristband out of the car. "The environmental index here isn't threatening. There are slight toxins in the air, but it's not a big deal. The oxygen content is high, so be careful as you might experience oxygen toxicity. Don't try to eat any of the plants or animals here. This wristband is a communication and positioning device; take it with you and let's go!"
After urging everyone to get in the car and settle in, Lothar started the pickup truck and drove towards the green dot marked on the GPS device.
The pickup truck roared,
Seven or eight minutes later, they finally saw a group of people in the distance... committing atrocities.
The roar of the pickup truck also caught their attention, and they immediately set up their guns to attack it.
Ginawell was furious. She leaned out of the car window, holding an HK21 machine gun in her hand, and the gunfire roared out!
The group of black men with AKs on the other side were so frightened by the frenzied firepower that they immediately sought cover! During the 100-meter sprint, those men were completely pinned down by Ginawell and couldn't even lift their heads! Lothar drove his pickup truck for a burst of speed, then braked and swerved, opening the door and getting out during the swerve!
Li Yao was stunned by the smooth and effortless operation!
Is this the God of Cars Zhang Chi possessed? After getting out of the car, Lothar moved quickly, rushing forward and wielding his palm like a knife. His palm strikes were extremely sharp, each strike emitting a shrill whistling sound.
Ginawell then got out of the vehicle carrying the machine gun.
Amidst the raging gunfire, no one could get close! She even had time to turn around and call out, "Witch Doctor, go check on Silas's injuries!"
The black militants seemed annoyed at being held back by the two men. The largest of them roared and charged at Lothar with a furious roar as scarlet totems quickly covered his body!
Lothar focused his mind, and with a swift motion, drew a dagger from his waist, gripped it in reverse, and slashed at his opponent!
"Sizzle!"
The dagger clashed with flesh and blood, producing a metallic clang! The other black men also began to use their guns and serpentine movements to launch a powerful counterattack! After the initial chaos, their organized counterattack was surprisingly powerful; the tires of the pickup truck Li Yao was on were blown out, and the windows and body were quickly shattered! If it weren't for the "Force Field" physical defense spell that Li Yao had activated, he might have been dead!
This is truly Wrecking Crew!
To save someone, he drove straight into their face and started fighting! That was incredibly reckless.
Is this how you train newcomers?!
Li Yao stood up from the back seat of the car. He opened his arms, Mister Li Flying Blade whistled out with a gentle vibration. Li Yao's spiritual cultivation had now reached the level of a third-ring mage, and he could even use the variant Mage Hand to push objects with a mass of ten kilograms! Of course, there was no need for that, since the Mage Hand was a zero-ring technique, which was sufficient for dealing with daily life.
In combat, mages have more, better, and more powerful maneuvers when consuming the same amount of magic power.
for example...
Why go through all the trouble of manipulating ten kilograms of unclaimed matter? Wouldn't it be better to just create magical artifacts with magical resonance? Mister Li Flying Blade is fantastic! After being enchanted with a secret magical alloy steel, it can easily pierce through steel shields! The black leader who could block Lothar's dagger attack couldn't withstand a single strike from Li Yao!
"Sing!"
The resonant hum of magic and flying blades echoed in all directions...
The previously intense battle suddenly fell silent.
Li Yao retracted his flying blade and jumped out of the car amidst the surprised gazes of Ginawell and Lothar: "Let's go see Silas."
His wounds were temporarily stopped bleeding thanks to the witch doctor's treatment.
His injuries were just too severe.
His left arm and both thighs were riddled with bullet holes, and his torso was also hit by numerous bullets in vital areas.
The old witch doctor waved his arms and mumbled something for a long time, occasionally interspersed with some heavily accented English, but Li Yao couldn't understand a word of it.
A mixed-race Black woman nearby translated, "His injuries are too severe to treat, and even if he recovers, it will be difficult for him to participate in the next operation!"
This is not Earth, after all.
Even on Earth, it's still uncertain, since we're on Non-Land, and proper medical institutions are hundreds of kilometers away.
By the time they get back to the hospital, they'll be able to get an erection! After hearing this,
Ginawell angrily kicked the car. "I told you to obey orders! Why can't you do it!"
Li Yao glanced at everyone. Apart from himself, everyone else had some kind of injury. One of the young men in the black hunter's gang had been shot in the calf, but it was just a graze, which looked scary.
He looked at Ginawell and said coldly, "I'd be surprised if the team wasn't wiped out with you leading it like this."
Everyone: "???"
