Half an hour later.
A total of thirty-four elite soldiers wearing guards tactical armor have gathered, and the leader is Rosas wearing general armor.
"Everyone!"
"I have already distributed the information for this exploration of the ruins. You should also know that due to the appearance of the Heavenly Soldiers, the risk factor of this exploration has been raised to Class A. Even if you are equipped with the best weapons in the empire, you are very likely to die in this exploration."
“So I’ll say this one last time.”
"If there are cowardly soldiers, they can choose to withdraw."
"I promise I won't hold him responsible."
Looking at Rosas's face, which looked like an old horse still in the stable with great ambitions, Gu Moli grinned.
No accountability
Just forget it!
Gu Moli didn't believe that any soldier would dare to stand up and say that he gave in and wanted to leave. Whoever dared to do so, Rosas said on the surface that he would not pursue the responsibility, but he might turn around and transfer the other party to Siberia to grow potatoes. If he was ruthless, he would definitely throw him into the suicide squad on some battlefield.
And the facts were just as Gu Moli expected.
The soldiers who could gather here were all elite soldiers, and they naturally understood Rosas' tactics, so they all stood straight, looking as if they were determined to sacrifice their lives for the country. Seeing that everyone was so aware, Rosas nodded with satisfaction and put on his tactical helmet.
"All battle line certifications are turned on."
"Stay in formation, Dr. Heinerson, Corporal Lorena, come to my side."
"Set off!"
Following Rosas' instructions, the Imperial Ruins Exploration Team officially entered the golden treasure.
As soon as they entered the ruins, Hua Qiong said to Gu Moli through the private channel in the tactical helmet: "Boss, the situation here is very unfavorable now."
"Hmm? What's wrong with it?"
"Think about it. MIT didn't come with us. Now there are only two of us players in the Empire camp, and there are three more in the Heavenly Brigade camp."
"Just the Lord of the North Star is hard enough to deal with. If you add Zhegui Zhujiu and Zhijiu Nanxun to the mix, we won't be able to handle it with just two fists."
"Stay calm."
Gu Moli said calmly, "It's not as exaggerated as you think. After playing so many games, don't you understand? The design of this game is very balanced. Since we are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, there must be a way to make up for it. Otherwise, it will not conform to the setting of the game."
"So I guess."
"There might only be two players on the other side."
"... .Huh?"
Hua Qiong was stunned: "Really?"
"I guess."
Hua Qiong: "..."
Before Hua Qiong could say anything, suddenly, Rosas' electronic communications covered the entire exploration team's network.
"Everyone, attention!"
Before he finished speaking, the view ahead suddenly brightened.
You should know that since entering the ruins, the entire exploration team has been walking in a dark tunnel. However, for all the team members wearing individual tactical armor, this is nothing. After all, there is no light, which can be solved by thermal imaging and ultrasonic scanning.
But the thing is... .
“There’s light ahead?”
"How is this possible..."
You have to know that this place is an ancient relic!
In a ruin that has not been opened for at least ten thousand years, theoretically there is absolutely no possibility of light, and the only possibility is... .
"alert!"
"It could be the Heavenly Brigade!"
There was no sound in the dark tunnel. The exploration team, including Gu Moli and Hua Qiong, stopped their actions involuntarily. Thanks to this set of individual tactical armor and the corresponding armor tactical channel, they were able to transmit voice commands without affecting the outside world.
Finally, under Rosas's instructions, an exploration team member slowly stepped forward, took off a bulletproof shield from his back and carried it in front of him, then walked towards the cave entrance step by step, while the others followed his movements, holding their breath involuntarily, and the tactical channel was filled with solemnity.
Even Gu Moli couldn't help but tighten his grip on the submachine gun tied to his leg.
Then he glanced at Hua Qiong, who was holding a mace and preparing to fight...
Fortunately, the situation did not reach that point.
After a moment, the voice of the previous exploration team member came back.
"Report to the general, no enemy found."
“Hu… ..”
For a moment, the channel was filled with sighs, and even Rosas breathed a sigh of relief. If possible, he certainly didn't want to start a war as soon as he entered the ruins.
What's more, in such a narrow terrain, many weapons of mass destruction cannot be used if a war breaks out.
After the alarm was lifted, everyone immediately walked into the light in an orderly manner, and then a magnificent hall came into everyone's sight.
Not even so much the lobby.
It's more like a square.
The reason for the light is that there is a kind of luminous plant growing on the stone walls around the square, illuminating the entire square. The square is not empty either. One can see rows of corpses scattered on the ground, some of which have turned to ashes.
"Is this... a sacrificial site?"
“Not really.”
"They are all skeletons, some of them are still wearing clothes..."
"clothing?"
Gu Moli frowned, turned off the ultrasonic scan of the tactical helmet, turned on the external camera mode, and began to carefully observe the corpses in the square.
But at this moment.
Click.
It seemed as if a member of the exploration team had stepped on the sole of a human-shaped corpse and the crisp sound echoed in the silent hall, like some kind of signal. For a moment, the crisp sound of breaking bones came one after another, quickly covering the entire square. This sudden change made everyone feel a little scared.
"Back off! Back off for now!"
Under Rosas's order, Gu Moli and Hua Qiong also began to retreat, especially Hua Qiong, who had been holding a mace and looked like a female war god who would kill gods and Buddhas. But now she curled up her body and hid behind Gu Moli as if to reduce her presence.
Gu Moli could still hear such mutterings in the private channel:
"I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid..."
I see you're scared to death.
Gu Moli smacked his lips and said, "Don't panic. Some trap must have been set off. There are no ghosts here."
"How do you know there's no ghost?"
"Come on, this world is clearly a science fiction world, how could there be ghosts? We have to believe in science, ghosts are not scientific at all."
"... .you're right."
In the channel, Hua Qiong swallowed, then straightened his back a little: "Ghosts are not scientific at all!"
"I'm not afraid!"
“That’s right.”
Gu Moli patiently said, "We should not be afraid when we encounter ghosts. We should face them with a smile. We should know that the best way to overcome fear is to face it. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
Hua Qiong thought this and it was right, so she straightened her back and seemed to gain courage.
Awesome!
Gu Moli smiled slightly when he saw this.
The child is teachable.
Click.
At this moment, Hua Qiong, who was gradually retreating, suddenly felt as if he had bumped into something. Strange, was it the explorers behind him? But everyone was retreating slowly, Rosas didn't ask anyone to stop, and he wasn't going too fast, so he shouldn't have bumped into anyone...
Although there is a system in the tactical armor to maintain body temperature, Hua Qiong felt a chill all over when he thought about it.
“… … .”
Hua Qiong turned his head stiffly.
What came into view was a skull emitting crystal white light, its mouth was cracked, and its eyes were flashing with blue halos. In an instant, a cold air was like a poisonous snake, quickly crawling up along Hua Qiong's legs, and hissing words came out of the cracked mouth of the skull.
"Fresh-blood-flesh--!"
“Aa ...
In private channel.
Hua Qiong's scream instantly pierced Gu Moli's eardrums.
