Volume 4 Dungeon Dungeon Chapter 149 Displaying Divine Power (Part 1)
In the eyes of those who experience this cycle of reincarnation, the weeping Medic is merely a subordinate of Amakusa, and in fact, that's what Amakusa himself said. Even if his healing skills are superb, he cannot question the captain's orders.
Reincarnators can temporarily join the dungeon quest. However, this only applies to reincarnators who have a slave contract with the team leader. Naturally, Li Wei was treated as a slave by them.
Unfortunately, they were completely wrong!
"You brat, do you dare question Amakusa? Is this something a slave should do?"
The first one to jump out was the Bear King.
These words immediately drew agreement from the crowd. Amakusa, who was wearing a helmet, couldn't reveal her expression, but she clearly didn't understand why Li Wei was stopping her.
"Then tell me, why can't we take a detour!" Amakusa said coldly.
"But if we really have to take a detour, even if we complete the mission, the final score will definitely not be high."
When this was explained, the Bear King was speechless. Even he wanted to get a higher final score.
"According to the map, the Zerg base is on the other side of the canyon." Since this "barrier" was designed into the mission, there must be a way to get through it, right?"Li Wei continued, guiding everyone's thinking in his own way.
Everyone's eyes lit up. Yes, all roads lead to Rome, but those roads are of varying quality. If they could really get through here, it would undoubtedly affect their final score.
"Do you have a way to get through this?" Bear King asked tentatively, already sensing that this Medic was clearly quite capable.
Li Wei chuckled. For the first time, he opened the mask on his mobile armor. When the Bear King saw Li Wei's face, he froze.
He would never forget that face.
"You—you!" The Bear King stammered instantly, his massive body taking two steps back, like a young girl who had been raped suddenly seeing her former abuser.
Li Wei nodded, meaning, "That's right, it's me!"
Here, apart from the Bear King and Amakusa, the other reincarnators didn't recognize Li Wei, and Li Wei certainly wouldn't reveal this relationship. The beauty's face, of course, needed to be considered.
"My plan is simple: we'll go through that spike zone. Think about it, what the mission description says: this Zerg base is newly built, meaning its defenses are extremely weak. One squad is enough to destroy it. Secondly, the Zerg's purpose here is to buy us time. Otherwise, if they had enough manpower, they would have already sent a swarm of Zerg to devour us. If we detour, I believe the Zerg reinforcements will have arrived by then, and even a small force is not something we can handle alone. Therefore, whether for the final score or for our own lives, we must race against time! You should read the Federation Recruit Manual more often when dealing with enemies like the Lurker."
Federation Recruit Manual?
Immediately, some reincarnators accessed the holographic computer inside their helmets to look up the manual Li Wei had mentioned.
Sure enough, among the massive amount of information, they discovered a rule for Lurker in the Zerg combat experience section of the "Federation Recruit Manual": they could contact the nearest headquarters and request that it activate its radar scanning function.
In this way, the monsters hiding underground will have nowhere to hide.
"Such a thing exists?" The reincarnators were all incredibly ashamed; none of them had noticed that such a thing existed in the holographic computer.
However, even with the help of radar, we still have to face the Lurker spikes!
Seeing that everyone's attention had been drawn to him, Li Wei grabbed a twig from the ground and started drawing on it.
"This is the terrain of that canyon we just saw. You see, only the entrance is about 100 meters wide. This section is less than 100 meters long, and beyond that it's flat plain. The Zerg Lurker can only ambush in this small area at the entrance. And just now, during their attack, I also scouted out their approximate numbers and..."
Amakusa gasped, "How is this possible? How could you possibly see their numbers?!"
Li Wei rolled his eyes at her and said, "I'm just speculating. Think about it, a single Lurker releasing ground spikes couldn't possibly kill a Federation mobile soldier instantly. I only found this out by checking the computer information inside the armor. We are Reincarnators, and our physical abilities are definitely superior to ordinary humans. So, the two people who were instantly killed just now prove that there are definitely more than one Lurker."
"So what? Isn't this normal?" Amakusa interjected.
"I haven't finished speaking yet, shut up!" Li Wei hated being interrupted when he was speaking, and at this moment he had to teach this woman who cared about her reputation a lesson, and tell her who was whose slave.
Amakusa fell silent, clearly aware of the consequences of offending Li Wei.
The Bear King dared not accept that Amakusa had lost to the Second Reincarnator. As someone who knew about the matter, he was filled with doubt. Wasn't this person Amakusa's slave? How dare he speak like that?
"What I just wanted to say is that the approximate number and formation of these lurking creatures are very important! And the fact that they were able to instantly kill the two teammates at the front shows that they are arranged vertically, with each one about a meter apart. That's because the two who died happened to walk into an area that both Lurker could attack, while the others were only attacked by one Lurker. That's why I had time to heal you all." Li Wei finally said what he wanted to say.
"You mean..." Some people had already guessed Li Wei's thoughts.
"What we need to do is withstand the attack of a Lurker Spike, then request headquarters to activate the radar. Take out the enemies blocking our way one by one."
Li Wei said affirmatively.
"However, even if we only take the attack of one Lurker, we will die if we are hit twice in a row. Have you thought of that?"
"It was a reincarnator who said in a deep voice."
"Of course, that's also why Amakusa asked me to come here." Li Wei waved the battlefield healing device in his hand and said, "You guys just focus on attacking. I'll protect you!"
A chill ran down everyone's spine.
Imagine a grown man dressed in a white nurse mobile armor set, wielding a somewhat cute battlefield healing device, constantly proclaiming his intention to protect you—the chilling feeling that would send shivers down everyone's spine.
Of course, this is one way, but it's a bit risky. Without prior arrangement, all the reincarnators turned their attention to Amakusa.
She is the captain and also the highest-ranking reincarnator in terms of combat power here; the final decision should be made by her.
Amakusa was still reeling from the aura Li Wei had exuded when he told her to shut up. The confidence Li Wei had displayed was like a sapling slowly sprouting in her heart.
She was unaware that this strange feeling largely stemmed from the influence of the Slave Brand on her. Most of the time, slaves struggled to distinguish whether this feeling originated from their own hearts or was influenced by the brand; all they could do was obey.
Finally, Amakusa nodded.
Thus, the battle plan was formulated, and Li Wei was naturally responsible for contacting headquarters to request the activation of the radar function.
After making contact with the human headquarters using the communicator inside the helmet, Li Wei submitted his application, and soon a very pleasant voice came from the other end of the communicator.
"Medical Officer Li Wei, please provide the access password!"
The authorization password was sent to Li Wei's holographic computer in real time, which served to verify friend from foe. Li Wei read out the symbols displayed on the screen one by one, and soon, a confirmation sound came from the other end of the communicator.
"Medical Officer Li Wei, your application has been accepted and operating permissions have been granted. You have three uses of the radar this time. Please confirm before using it."
Calamity
Damn it. Why not give them more times? Three times is enough, as long as the timing of the release is carefully calculated. Li Wei looked at the area with the Lurker, closed his eyes, and went over all the details again. Then he opened his eyes and walked forward.
Several reincarnators were already prepared. They gripped their machine guns tightly, and although they were all wearing heavy helmets, their tension was palpable. After all, this was a job where they risked their lives; one wrong move and they would be dead.
"Go ahead, but be careful, I'll be directing your actions over the communicator, so listen carefully, hehe." Li Wei let out a final laugh, but to the reincarnators, it sounded utterly chilling.
Amakusa was the first to act. She was in a state of turmoil. On one hand, a voice inside her kept telling her to trust Li Wei, that he was her master. On the other hand, deep down, she wanted to rebel, or even to prove that everything Li Wei said was wrong.
This conflicting feeling completely robbed her of her usual composure. Perhaps, being killed by the spiked torch would prove that everything that arrogant man had said was a lie.
She was startled by this thought and quickly composed herself, no longer daring to let her mind wander.
With someone taking the lead, the other reincarnators naturally followed, but Li Wei walked at the very back, knowing his own predicament.
Medic can heal others, but they can't heal themselves. This ridiculous setting, which exists in games, has somehow carried over to the mission world, so Li Wei chose a relatively safe location.
Soon, the Reincarnators entered the area where the Lurker were located. Li Wei hurriedly ordered the three Reincarnators with the big head to move in a fan shape, three meters apart. Almost simultaneously, the Lurker launched their attack.
