The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers
Chapter 1283: Buried
Originally, he thought he could catch them all in one net, but unexpectedly, half managed to escape. Cheng Haoyue was very conflicted and anxious, gripping his bow and arrow, increasingly frustrated at how slow his hand was.
Cheng Haoyue turned around, only to find that He Nu remained very calm. He couldn’t help but be stunned: "He Nu, aren’t you anxious?"
He Nu shook his head and said: "Why should I be anxious?"
Cheng Haoyue paused in his steps: "Do you have another plan?"
He Nu smiled and said: "Ji You once said, ’Meat that’s in your mouth, how could you spit it out?’"
Cheng Haoyue: "Huh?"
He Nu smiled faintly: "If we can bury them once, we can bury them a second time."
When he said this, Cheng Haoyue felt a chill at the back of his neck. Immediately, he felt the ground under his feet shaking slightly, and then saw a massive collapse about 50 meters away.
Cheng Haoyue jumped abruptly: "Damn!"
He Nu said: "Go!"
Everyone rushed forward in a commotion. Thus, when He Zhen led the remaining group of less than 30, digging their way through a tunnel, the front suddenly collapsed. The group hiding underground, hiding like mice, had just glimpsed a flicker of light and hadn’t had time to rejoice when the ground beneath them suddenly gave way. Then, the soil above them began to collapse again...
Rumble~
Everyone just felt their vision going black...
Before this, no one thought that soil could be a challenge. Humanity has developed to the point where technology has continuously progressed, crossing the star system, strolling beneath the sea... Everything has been almost achieved, so breathing inside the soil should be no big deal, right?
However! It was precisely this underestimation that led them to fall into such a large trap.
It turns out that if used properly, even simple soil can be deadly.
Unfortunately, the students who have ’died’ won’t have another chance, and He Zhen, Jack, and the others who were still struggling against these accidents were completely overwhelmed.
Falling into the deep pit once more, this time, the enemy didn’t give He Zhen’s group a chance to dig out. A dense shower of weapons, like a thunderstorm, struck He Zhen and the others on their heads and chests...
Quickly, a large number fell.
He Zhen furrowed his brows. His weapon was a soft sword, and as the enemy’s weapons came at him, he dodged the attacks again and again with his solid skills.
"Where’s Lester?"
No one answered.
...
Wei Yun had said that there was a squad here to meet them, but ever since they entered, they hadn’t seen their own people, or rather, their eyes were covered by mud, and they hadn’t even seen who these enemies attacking them were, whether they were men or women, what they looked like...
What’s the most tragic thing in life?
It’s dying at the hands of others, and if you end up in the underworld, you don’t even have someone to curse.
Cough cough...
If you’re truly dead, you probably can’t curse anyone.
But!
They aren’t dead yet, are they?
Amidst the gale-like torrent of weaponry, be it arrows, blunt objects, or just plain stones...hitting their heads, piercing their hearts... Hearing the painful moans of their teammates and feeling the gradually cooling blood in their bodies, He Zhen, and the others who still had a breath left, experienced for the first time the cruelty and reality of war.
So, this is war.
Cruel, indifferent, death, death, endless death...
Crack~
He Zhen heard the sound of his right elbow breaking, and also heard an arrow piercing into his skull. At that moment, He Zhen suddenly roared, gathering all his strength into his toes, leaping out and landing successfully on the ground. He didn’t hesitate, swinging the soft sword forward in a strike—
Crack~
Crack~
Crack~
Swish—
He Zhen fell to the ground like a rag doll, no longer making any sound. In the soft sword he gripped tightly, three students were bound tightly, one of whom was completely lifeless, and the other two were barely breathing...
If Cheng Haoyue and He Nu hadn’t intervened in time, these two students would have already ’died.’ Looking at He Zhen on the ground, Cheng Haoyue and He Nu had a hint of dread and admiration in their eyes.
He Zhen’s counterattack before his death almost cost their side, which had the upper hand, three teammates.
He Nu and Cheng Haoyue dared not be complacent or proud anymore, quickly speeding up, and soon, without He Zhen leading, the students from the sixth battalion fell down one by one.
One corpse, two corpses, three corpses...
After counting, a student stepped forward and reported: "Captain, there are a total of 63 enemy corpses."
Cheng Haoyue opened his mouth, trying hard to stay calm, and said: "Alright, go down."
He Nu walked over, and Cheng Haoyue asked: "What should we do with these corpses?"
He Nu said: "Bury them."
Cheng Haoyue raised his hand, ready to let his teammates take action, when suddenly, He Nu said: "Wait."
Cheng Haoyue stopped.
He Nu took out the communication receiver found on He Zhen, discovering that it was indeed ringing. His expression turned serious as Cheng Haoyue and the others immediately looked over. Cheng Haoyue asked: "Who?!!!"
He Nu shook his head.
Cheng Haoyue was a little nervous: "Should we answer it?"
He Nu said: "Answer it!"
It must be said, after challenging Ji You actively and failing, He Nu was not discouraged. Instead, he was inspired and learned a lot from Ji You, the primary thing being decisiveness and efficiency.
Without hesitation, he answered the communication in the next second.
"He Zhen."
In the communication, there was a girl’s voice, a very unfamiliar voice, one he had never heard before. He Nu tightly pursed his lips, his elbows under the sleeves trembling slightly.
No one made a sound, all eyes were on the communication receiver device in He Nu’s hand.
He Nu pursed his lips, not answering immediately, but suddenly coughed. The sound was very hoarse, deep, like a broken gong, just like someone whose lungs had been severely injured.
The next second, Ji You’s crisp voice suddenly came from the communication device: "He Nu."
He Nu’s calm eyes suddenly brightened.
Cheng Haoyue, and all the students behind him, because of this voice, perked up.
Joy surfaced in He Nu’s eyes, and he worked hard to steady his mood, still not responding immediately. Instead, in front of everyone, he uttered a phrase that puzzled Cheng Haoyue and the others: "Beer, beverages, mineral water—"
"Melon seeds, peanuts, eight-treasure porridge!" Ji You’s voice in the earpiece had a hint of laughter, then—
He Nu and Ji You said simultaneously: "Make way for the feet!"
In the next second!
"Ji You classmate!" He Nu shouted with surprise and joy, immediately followed by a solemn report: "All enemies buried, our side successfully completed the mission!"
Ji You praised: "Nicely done."
Cheng Haoyue and the others: "..."
