First Player

Chapter 398 Chapter 396 · "Is Su Mingan in charge?"

The wind and snow were blowing, and white snowflakes fell on people's heads.

The white breath lingered in front of their faces, cold sweat slipped from their foreheads, and even the hands holding the hoe and harpoon were shaking.

This is people's uncontrollable instinct, the fear they have when facing predators - no matter how loud they screamed before and how angry they were towards the invaders, they can't help but start to tremble and be afraid at this time.

Ordinary residents who had never experienced a battle had begun to tremble in their calves, and had the urge to turn around and run away from the predator's killing intent.

For a moment, the team, which was originally in a very heated atmosphere, fell into a brief stagnation.

——until there was a loud noise.

"boom--!"

A thunderous sound rang in their ears.

The sea monsters who blocked the entrance to the barrier and wanted to rush in were torn apart by the force in an instant, and were blown away in the air like rags, without the ability to fight back.

With just this move, it was like clearing out most of the sea monsters blocking the door.

This extremely powerful and imposing blow instantly awakened the blood in people's bones, like blowing a charge trumpet for this action that was destined to cause heavy casualties.

People looked at the death of this group of monsters in shock, and turned their attention to the person in the center of the team who made the attack.

Shadow took back his hand and raised the amber sword shimmering with white light in one hand.

"kill--!"

He shouted, pointing the tip of his sword directly at the clearing scattered with Kraken fragments.

"charge--!"

Su Mingan immediately shouted.

His voice was amplified and echoed throughout Praia.

Under the city wall, the people squatting and resting in the shadows straightened up and followed the advancing team with their eyes.

The high hillsides, tall buildings, bell towers, and tall trees were already full of people, looking at this group of people.

Including the players, they all temporarily stopped collecting clues and began to pay attention to this battle.

... This team is regarded as a hope. Whether they succeed or not will determine the future of Praia and their own life and death.

Residents who had relatives among them hugged their loved ones and friends tightly and prayed constantly.

The woman standing by the river held the cold naan in her hand and muttered to herself.

"Yongzhi..."

…

"Su Mingan is in command." In Beicheng District, the top player Eli was sitting in the boat, holding a telescope in his hand.

Next to him, Bonnie was boredly melting the snow in her hands and playing with the fire that was like a stream at her fingertips.

She completely did not understand the behavior of the residents of Praia who chose to go to the battlefield to defend their homeland. In her opinion, staying on the river was safe enough.

"Then this operation should be a sure thing." said his teammates behind him.

"That guy Luna actually joined the team. I saw her shitty yellow rose armor. She doesn't do anything uncertain, and she seems to trust that guy Su Ming'an's decision."

"We should probably try that too."

"I'm not an opportunist, and I won't take this risk for a little experience." Eli put down the telescope in his hand: "That kind of action where life and death are not in your own hands... is too dangerous. On a vast battlefield like the sea , no matter how strong the human individual is, it is just a drop of water in the group... I don't like the feeling of powerlessness of entrusting my life to the group."

"Okay." The teammate chewed the lollipop he brought with him with a "click" sound: "But maybe we can pay attention to the outcome of this battle?"

"Yes, I think no one will not pay attention to it. This is related to whether we should leave this damn island or not, lest we all go to see God together!"

…

"whisper--"

The roar of the sea monster caused the entire city wall to shake violently.

The soul hunting ministers took the lead and rushed to the front.

Like sharp swords tearing through the defense line, the sabers in their hands danced airtight, like a storm of blades, completely tearing apart the sea monsters approaching them!

They attracted the strongest firepower and gave those who rushed out from behind a chance to breathe.

"kill--!"

Eske, who has a bold and direct temperament, kills the most fiercely.

It seems that because he was forced to abandon the "fashionable" iron ring on his body, he was holding back his anger and led the people behind him to move forward quickly.

Beside him, the hands of the well-trained soul hunters lit up with light.

A milky-white bridge extended outward from the city wall, extending their path forward.

Since the team set off on the city wall, some distance from the ground, they chose to build a bridge in the air instantly for the team to pass.

Wherever the frontmost team rushed, a bridge appeared at their feet and quickly solidified to allow those behind to pass.

In this way, passing through the sky bridge can prevent people from getting separated. As long as they look for the white bridge under their feet, they will not go in other directions.

Of course, when the queue becomes chaotic, those on the outermost layers are also at risk of being pushed off the bridge. But this method can only be used to facilitate the movement of the entire team.

"Ding dong!"

At this time, all the players who rushed out of the barrier heard this system prompt.

[The large-scale temporary event "Operation Cross-Sea" has begun, and you have become a participant of the "Knife Squad". 】

[Get temporary Buff (experience): In this event, killing the Kraken will bring you double experience points. 】

["Cross-Sea Operation" victory reward: the title of "Playa Honor Fighter" (title effect: combat power increased by 5%), all participants can obtain this title. 】

…

The generous experience rewards and a full 5% increase in combat power made players instantly jealous.

After their timidity receded, they immediately turned their attention to the sea monsters, as if they had turned into attractive experience packages.

The system prompts Su Mingan heard were different from other players.

…

"Ding dong!"

[The large-scale temporary event "Operation Cross-Sea" has begun, and you have become the main combatant, boundary architect, and action commander of the "Knife Squad". 】

[Acquire temporary Buff (experience): In this event, killing the Kraken will bring you three times the experience value. 】

[Acquire temporary buff (glory sharing): All the sirens killed by local NPCs in the team will provide you with experience points, which enjoys triple the experience buff effect. 】

["Cross-sea operation" victory reward: the title of "Playa Rescue Hero" (title effect: combat power increased by 8%). 】

…

[NPC (Esk) kills Siren Cynthia, Exp+600 (three times the effect)! 】

[NPC (Ed) kills Siren Lu Ying, Exp+600 (three times the effect)! 】

…

Numbers continued to surge on the system panel, and Su Mingan's experience bar began to increase at a speed visible to the naked eye.

With the bonus of three times the experience and all the soul hunts, his long-established experience bar began to increase rapidly like a rocket.

Ahead, bridges are being built.

This team of a thousand people finally left the safe island barrier behind them and stepped onto the white bridge.

A white light flashed in Su Mingan's hand, and the small barrier door behind him immediately closed.

This time, the team was completely trapped in the Kraken.

Other than choosing to charge all the way to the outermost broken barrier, they could not look back.

The shouts, roars, and screams turned the team into chaos. The soul hunters were lucky. Even if they were afraid, they would fight bravely and not scream. Those residents holding shovels and harpoons were the most chaotic. My whole body was shaking as I ran.

But fortunately, those who dare to join the team are a little brave. Even if they are surrounded by airtight sirens, they are still moving forward.

The team moved forward and finally started to see blood.

After the initial rainbow-like momentum subsided, what greeted them was the despair that made them almost unable to see the sky.

Everywhere, above, below, on the left, on the right, except for people, there are sea monsters.

They pounced on them everywhere, and there was always someone who didn't take care of them, and was scratched and spurted with blood.

"ah--!"

A soul hunter who had no time to draw his sword fell down, immediately causing chaos. The soul hunter around him continued to fight, but the residents who followed him screamed in fear.

The bloody corpse with its neck bitten off fell in front of them. Except for some people who had the courage to step over the corpse and continue running, some people were so frightened that they fell down.

"——Don't stop! Don't hesitate! What did I tell you before we set off! Run! Start running——!"

Esk noticed the movement here and immediately shouted.

His voice was very loud, and he also wore a loudspeaker, which was loud enough for people who were still watching the battle to hear.

Some players looked strange. Listening to this voice, they remembered the shouts of their physical education teachers when they were running one thousand meters.

But more people couldn't understand this kind of humor. They gritted their teeth and continued running, because they knew that there was no other way if they didn't run. The barrier behind them had been closed and they couldn't return.

In addition to bowing his head, running, praying, praying that the sea monster will not target him, praying that his sword is sharp enough, praying for a powerful soul hunter to take action for him - there is no other way to save them!

At this time, a single person is too insignificant.

On this kind of battlefield that can easily destroy a team, their individual combat effectiveness has been infinitely reduced. The only thing they can rely on at this time is luck.

Even the Minister of Soul Hunting, who had a combat strength of two thousand, was now deeply involved in the swarm of sea monsters. He only focused on exterminating the confused sea monsters, but did not care about the residents behind who suffered heavy casualties.

People gradually turned into isolated islands.

The strong smell of blood gradually filled the entire team.

Even the powerful players were all covered in blood, and Luna's hair was disheveled, and there was a deep bone-visible scar on her arm, which looked extremely terrifying.

That was the scar left by the five sea monsters that suddenly surged up from the side and bit her at the same time when she forced out her sword to protect her teammates.

The Fuso samurai player Higurashi is dressed in black and holds a long sword. The sword is full of fine scratches made by the sea monster's bites. There are hundreds of them in detail.

In just a short distance, hundreds of sea monsters left marks on his sword. As long as one of them bit his neck, he would not be able to reach this point.

Fangyuan Yi, the top player in the Remote Control Legion Guild, almost crushed the remote control in his hand. The three flying robots he summoned were destroyed in the sea monsters before they could shoot. They killed him one by one with one claw. All the treasures were torn into mechanical parts.

He gritted his teeth and felt extremely sorry for his mechanical babies, but at this time, even he couldn't look back.

...And compared to these top players who are still capable of fighting, the ordinary resident NPCs holding shovels and harpoons are even worse.

Even if they are mentally prepared, it doesn't mean they won't be afraid. Seeing their companions who had been with them day and night being injured, having their legs broken, and falling to the ground wailing, they could only run forward and watch their companions die... This kind of psychological burden is not something that ordinary people can bear.

Fortunately, they are residents of Praia, residents of Praia who live in struggle and blood.

The war with the terrorist race at night cast a thick shadow on their peaceful life, giving them the determination to see blood.

The sirens roared in the air, on the ground, above and around them, the bridges trembled in their roar, their bodies were like the blue sea, endless.

At this time, as long as people raised their heads, they would see the terrifying mouths of sea monsters with fangs. As long as they stretched out their hands, countless sea monsters would pounce on them, trying to tear them apart and eat them.

Some people were so nervous and panicked that they developed symptoms of tinnitus and dizziness. The rich blood smell lingered at the tip of their noses, and hot blood sprayed on their cheeks. This fear of being on the verge of death at any time was enough to crush a person's soul.

At this time, a single person seems too insignificant in the face of disaster... As long as he is targeted by a group of sea monsters at the same time, he basically has no power to fight back. Even the soul hunter can only kill two or three of them. , his neck was bitten off without warning.

Their deaths bought a moment of time for those who continued to run behind. The people behind were targeted, besieged, and killed... and bought time for those further behind...

The number of sea monsters far exceeds that of humans, and they are almost endless. Even if you kill the ones in front of you, there will still be two, three, or dozens of them waiting to pounce on you... They are like rolling waves, waterfalls, and ocean waves. It doesn't give anyone a moment to breathe at all.

The entire team has become a relay-race team, and what keeps their running momentum going...are the fallen corpses and the living lives.

"——Don't care who is dead! Don't care who is injured, has a broken leg, or can't walk! Step over his body, go around his body, and keep running! Charge! Only in this way can we survive , otherwise everyone will die! Don’t stop—!”

High-pitched shouts echoed throughout the blood-filled team.

Behind them, the white bridge shone slightly, and on the bridge were corpses that had fallen all the way, almost bleeding into a river.

Blood flowed on their bodies and feet, dyeing the bridge crimson. Blood flowed down the bridge, like a bloody waterfall pouring from the sky.

Su Mingan ran among the core crowd. At this time, his position was still safe.

The NPCs protected him with their lives.
