Volume 2 Heroes of Might and Magic of Might and Magic: The Death Battle Chapter 151 A Close Call
In that instant, all the reincarnators heard their own heartbeats.
Terran soldiers can only unleash their full combat power at a certain distance when firing machine guns. When facing melee units like Zerg Zergling, they often cannot exert their full combat power, ultimately resulting in double casualties in order to achieve victory.
This principle was known to all the reincarnators present.
The Zerg base had less than half its health remaining, but it wasn't about to be destroyed immediately. Right now, the dozen or so Zergling were roaring and lunging at the nearest Reincarnator, instantly reversing the situation.
Li Wei had already glanced at the amount of fluid on the treatment device in his hand earlier...
In other words, Li Wei can only use the old treatment again, meaning each person can only receive one treatment. Meanwhile, the Zergling's attack speed is extremely fast; a dozen attacking together is incredibly powerful—otherwise, they wouldn't be called Zergling.
"Separate the machine guns and muskets. The machine guns will continue attacking the Zerg base, while the muskets will roam and attack the Zergling," Li Wei quickly issued the order. The group of reincarnators seemed to have been injected with adrenaline and moved quickly into action.
Instantly, gunfire and the sound of flames erupted in a cacophony. The rapid shift in formation had a positive effect: it prevented them from being surrounded by the Zergling and ensured that only a few of them had the opportunity to attack.
The two flamethrowers proved invaluable at this moment; under the blazing flames, many Zergling were reduced to charred remains, thus drawing the attention of most of the Zergling to the two reincarnators.
Li Wei knew then that he absolutely could not allow any of them to die, otherwise their attack power would be greatly reduced. Therefore, he kept spraying healing liquid. Every time the two reincarnators, who were playing the role of Firebat, felt that they were about to be torn to pieces by the Zergling, their health would be Miracle restored.
This was more thrilling than any extreme sport. The two thought to themselves that even if they survived, they would probably develop heart disease later in life.
In less than a short time, the two reincarnators felt as if an eternity had passed. It wasn't until the last Zergling died before their eyes that they came to their senses.
All that could be heard were the rapid, rhythmic heartbeats and heavy breathing.
The two men's mobile armor was in a terrible state. They had originally wanted to thank the Medic behind them, but upon closer inspection, they realized that An had even more claw marks on him than they did. The once white mobile armor shells now resembled cans ravaged by countless steel blades, covered in shattered metal fragments, with some areas even showing exposed internal wires that were still sparking.
The machine guns nearby were still firing. The Brood Base was just one sliver of health away from being destroyed.
Li Wei also saw a large number of Zerg, Zergling, Hydralisk surging from the valley a hundred meters away, numbering well over a hundred.
Without a doubt, those were Zerg reinforcements. All the reincarnators were secretly relieved. If it weren't for that Medic, they would never have been able to complete their mission this time. If they were unlucky, they would have been eaten by those Zerg.
At the critical moment, a bullet bleeds the Zerg hive base to its last drop of blood. Instantly, the massive ball of flesh explodes from the inside, and blood and gore rain down like a storm.
The reincarnators were pleasantly surprised to see their Yellow Paper jump out.
Hint: The mission "Destroy the hidden Zerg mother hive base" is in progress, and squad score statistics are being compiled.
"Team overall score, individual score begins."
After seeing his score, Li Wei smiled slightly. Then, just as the swarm of Zerg was about to engulf them, he was teleported back to Shadow Street by a beam of white light.
"I succeeded in the end. I think I'm more suited to be a wet nurse." Li Wei looked at his final score on the Yellow Paper and smiled.
"Treatment fluid used four times" - treatment timeliness rate, error rate, treatment score!
"Small Team Rating Stone Points Must Be Numbered Reincarnator Comprehensive Rating Just Scored, Reward Four Points, Please Choose One of the Following Two Reward Items Small"
"Wraith," "Tech Brain."
Is there even a question? All this work is for the Terran technology in StarCraft, so Li Wei chose the latter without hesitation.
With Yellow Paper, a black, metallic-looking sphere appeared in Li Wei's storage room.
Upon taking it out, Li Wei pressed his finger into one of the four holes on the sphere. With a crack, the surface of the sphere split open, and after a mechanical hum, a computer that would make anyone's blood boil appeared in front of Li Wei.
"Equipment Concubine's Letter"
"Federal Tech Brain activated"
Li Wei looked at the keyboard-like object and started fiddling with it.
One hour later.
"As expected, they are one of the three races that can rival the Protoss and the Zerg. Impressive! The technology here is far more advanced than that of the real world. However, most of the technology relies on special energy sources and techniques to manufacture, and only a very small portion of it can be utilized!"
Li Wei walked into Shadow Street and suddenly noticed that there were far fewer reincarnators there.
Even the once bustling Free Market now only had two or three reincarnators wandering around. Upon reflection, Li Wei understood why.
The real world is undergoing tremendous changes at this moment. These people who take turns using the system will help the world with their sense of justice. Meanwhile, wealthy thieves and those who return to their hometowns will gain the most benefits. Even if they do nothing for the sake of their families in the real world, they cannot stay in Shadow Street.
Li Wei thought to himself that he should also return to the mortal world. In the Seven-Day Prophecy, the first few days were the most crucial period. He should see how Xue Yan and Zheng Yutong were preparing.
Thinking of this, Li Wei opened the door and stepped inside.
In the real world, in just one night, the former prosperity was gone. Except for government agencies, everything stopped operating. No one knew that the blood-red moon that looked quite beautiful yesterday would bring such a terrifying night.
On a certain street, cars were parked haphazardly, a large crowd was moving forward at a snail's pace, and a large number of armed police and soldiers were surrounding them.
They were citizens of the city, their faces still showing deep fear. Along the roadside lay many corpses, among which a huge body riddled with bullet holes was particularly striking.
Everyone who saw this corpse wore an expression of disbelief. Last night, this monster, which looked like many corpses stitched together, slaughtered hundreds of people until the army arrived and used armor-piercing rounds to bring it down.
The same thing happened in many corners of the city, and those in the know knew that it was happening all over the country, and even the world.
Conservative estimates suggest that the death toll in this small city alone reached several thousand.
As a result, no one dared to stay in this city where people could be eaten at any time. With one person taking the lead, many others followed suit and temporarily left to seek refuge.
People brought their families and valuables; those with cars drove, while those without had to walk. However, many more chose to stay in the safety of their homes, perhaps because sturdy security doors offered them a sense of security.
In a suite at a nearby five-star hotel, a door suddenly appeared, shimmering like ripples in the air, and then a person walked out.
This person was Li Wei.
He first checked the time; it was 8:00 AM. He had only been gone for one night.
After confirming with Xue Yan over the phone that his father from his hometown had been taken to a safe place, Li Wei finally felt relieved. As he walked out the door, he immediately saw several people standing there, looking at Li Wei as if they had seen a ghost.
Li Wei knew that they must have noticed he wasn't in the room last night, and then suddenly appeared this morning, which explained their expressions. However, there was no need to explain these things to them.
"Where did you come from?" Tie Xuan looked at the room behind Li Wei, then at Li Wei himself, his mind blank for a moment. He had turned the room upside down yesterday but hadn't found the "missing" Li Wei.
Li Wei ignored Tie Xuan, and didn't even glance at Director Li Wei who came up to him with a smile. From today onwards, no, from last night onwards, the old system of this world has accelerated its collapse, and the old things will be ruthlessly shattered, including former identities.
Besides Tie Xuan and Director Zhang, there were also some special police officers present. Li Wei glanced at them, walked to a spot where everyone could see him, and shouted, "What happened last night? I believe everyone already knows very well. Perhaps you're wondering what exactly happened in this world, where those monsters came from, and so on. But what I want to say here is, forget about all that. The most important thing now is how to survive. Whether you believe it or not, this world is doomed."
As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion erupted, with most people displaying incredulous expressions. At this moment, Li Wei was still a high-ranking leader in their eyes, and most of the special police officers remained silent in the face of this high-ranking leader's strange remarks.
Of course, some people have also raised different opinions.
"What are you talking about? Even if you're the highest-ranking person in the secret service, you can't spread rumors. Our government already has a plan for last night's events, and the situation is completely under control."
The speaker was Director Zhang, who clearly disagreed with Li Qi's remarks.
"Is everything really under control?" Xiao Li Wei asked rhetorically.
Director Zhang was speechless for a moment. In fact, since yesterday, everything seemed to have fallen into chaos. Those monsters, whose corpses had suddenly come back to life and aggregated together, were nothing short of a killing machine. The police were good at maintaining social order, but they were powerless to deal with these things.
As a result, the entire city was brought under control by the arriving troops. Even he, the department head, had to keep a low profile. If he hadn't thought Li Wei was the legendary figure in the secret department, he wouldn't have been waiting for Li Wei to appear here.
What drove him to Despair was not this, but the news that even the army seemed to have lost control of the entire situation.
Upon hearing this news, he was completely disoriented, which is why he came to find Li Wei.
Seeing this, Li Wei sneered, glanced around at everyone, and thought to himself, "Since I want to build my own power, I need manpower. It would be best to recruit these special police officers to my side. This is very similar to a scene from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. This is the beginning of chaos in the world, a time of division among warlords. In the coming New World, people are the foundation for survival."
