In the stairwell on the 25th floor, the "Grey Eagle" team has reached the end of its rope.
The obstacles blocking the entrance to the 24th floor were almost completely destroyed, and low-level Abyssal Beast poured out from behind the door like a tide.
A Jie's sword has been curled up and its source energy is almost exhausted. Every time he swings the sword, his arm feels like it weighs a thousand pounds.
Fatty's heavy shield was full of cracks, Old K was running out of bullets, and Xiao Ling's source energy flying blade had become dim.
"Left! Three more come up!"
"I can't stand it anymore."
The fat man was breathing heavily and felt like he was going to collapse in the next second.
A "Claw Demon" broke through the fire net, screaming and pounced on the already slow-moving Xiao Ling.
A Jie roared angrily and gritted his teeth regardless of his injuries.
Right now.
"Buzz!"
A blue arc-shaped sword flashed out of the sky like a crescent moon, sweeping past Xiao Ling at a speed that exceeded visual capture.
The low-level Abyssal Beasts that rushed towards them, together with the "Claw Demon", froze in their movements for an instant, and then were cut into two pieces like straw cut by invisible forces. The smelly blood and internal organs were splashed all over the ground, and soon turned into fly ash, leaving only a few shimmering Source Energy Crystals.
This sudden change stunned everyone.
Immediately afterwards, their eyes flashed as two figures wearing Source Martial Army combat uniforms appeared in the open space of the stairwell like ghosts.
One of them held a sword with a faint blue halo in his hand. It was obvious that the life-saving sword glow just now came from his hand.
The other person's eyes scanned the whole place sharply, and finally landed on the shocked "Grey Eagle" team members.
"We are Source Martial Army Instructor Corps, here to respond."
The man holding the knife, Mountain Cat, spoke concisely.
Another person, Venom Fang, said with the same crisp tone, "Go up, go to the rooftop and evacuate. The helicopter is waiting."
Training Corps!
These four words were like thunder, exploding in the minds of everyone in the "Grey Eagle" team.
As the lowest level of folk warriors, they may have never seen the real person Training Corps, but this name is very popular among their ears.
This is the true elite of the Xia Country source force, the strongest force in the legend.
It is said that among the members, the lowest strength is Stardust level second level, Source Energy Unit has more than 5000 points!
For people like them with 200 points Source Energy Unit, they are simply figures in the clouds.
The ecstasy of surviving a desperate situation instantly overwhelmed them.
A Jie opened his mouth, but found that he was unable to make a sound due to excitement and exhaustion.
It was only then that they realized belatedly that the suffocating terrifying pressure of Leader level Abyssal Beast, the harsh noise of scratching the glass, and the furious roar that seemed so close at hand. At some point, they all disappeared.
Mountain Cat and Venom Fang worked in tandem, guarding the faltering "Grey Eagle" team and quickly evacuated upwards.
Without the threat of Leader level Abyssal Beast, and the efficiency of the two Training Corps team members clearing away the Star Abyss beasts along the way like chopping melons and vegetables, the journey back to the rooftop seemed extremely smooth.
When Venom Fang was the first to push open the rusty iron door on the rooftop, and when the dazzling sunlight and the strong wind whipped up by the helicopter's rotors came rushing in, he immediately saw the figure standing in the center of the rooftop.
Captain Zhang Zhen stood there alone, with his back to them, his posture still as tall as a pine tree.
He raised his head slightly, as if he was looking at the hovering helicopter, or just looking at the battlefield still filled with smoke in the distance.
His right hand hung casually by his side, and his left hand tossed a crystal the size of a baby's fist rhythmically.
The crystal was translucent white, and there seemed to be a milky white stream of light rotating slowly inside. At the core of the crystal, a clear golden line snaked around like a living creature.
It is Leader level that will be dropped after Abyssal Beast is killed, and its value is much higher than that of ordinary Spirit Shine Crystal Golden-Pattern White Crystal.
Venom Fang's eyes stayed on the crystal that was thrown up, caught, and thrown up again for a moment, and then he looked at Mountain Cat who came out immediately after.
Both of them saw the same understanding and a hint of sympathy in each other's eyes?
They tacitly agreed not to ask any questions about this crystal, such as "Captain, what good stuff did you get?" or "How's your luck this time?".
After all, no one in the whole team, maybe even the entire Training Corps, knows that their captain Zhang Zhen, who is powerful, brave in combat, and excellent in command, is famous for his "luck".
Yeah, stable.
It's heartbreakingly stable.
How many times have he gone through life and death, killed powerful enemies, and harvested precious crystals, but the captain always seems to have no chance of those truly powerful skills, rare materials, or cherished blueprints.
Most of what comes out are some "accumulated goods" that are tasteless and a pity to throw away, or some gadgets with extremely partial effects and extremely narrow applicability.
For this Golden-Pattern White Crystal, looking at the captain's expression that shows no emotion or anger, and even a bit of boredom, it's almost self-evident what the outcome will be.
Mountain Cat coughed slightly, breaking the brief silence.
He took a step forward and reported to Zhang Zhen, "Captain, there are five people in the target "Grey Eagle" team. They have all been responded to and no one is seriously injured."
After hearing this, Zhang Zhen stopped throwing the crystal and put the Golden-Pattern White Crystal into the pocket of his combat uniform, as if it was just a slightly more beautiful stone.
He turned around, glanced at the members of the "Grey Eagle" team who were in ragged clothes, with fear and excitement still on their faces, and nodded slightly.
There weren't many expressions on Zhang Zhen's face. There was no joy after victory, nor frustration at poor harvest. There was only a sense of calm after completing the task.
He shook his head, sighed softly, and said in a calm tone, "Yes. As long as everyone is fine, you can get on the plane first, and I will follow you. Come on, go back."
There was no extra comfort, no explanation for the battle just now, and no promise for the future.
Just three simple words...
"Go back".
But this calm tone, to the ears of the "Grey Eagle" team, was more reassuring than any impassioned promise.
This means that the crisis is temporarily lifted, and it means that they have really survived.
The helicopter began to lower its height and lowered the ladder.
Mountain Cat and Venom Fang began to assist members of the "Grey Eagle" team to board the plane.
Before A Jie was pulled onto the helicopter, he couldn't help but look back at Captain Zhang Zhen, who was standing alone on the edge of the rooftop, his figure slightly blurred in the airflow of the helicopter.
The Golden-Pattern White Crystal that was casually picked up in his hand, and the undetectable sigh, were like a mysterious footnote, imprinted on this morning of escaping death.
Somehow, an idea suddenly came to his mind.
"Even such a strong man seems to have unknown troubles."
