Chapter 356 Changing Route
"Then why don't we move towards undeveloped areas, but try to keep parallel to the original route? If we encounter Zerg on the way, we will stop and deal with them. When it's time to rest, we will return to the safe route. This way we can rest in peace and find as many Zerg as possible and deal with them to earn points." Su Siyi's eyes sparkled as he enthusiastically explained his ideas.
"I think what my sister said is quite right," Su Wenying nodded in agreement as she listened. They had encountered very few Zerg along the way, and this monotonous walk was truly detrimental to their success in the assessment.
"Then I'll study the map first." Seeing how serious they were, Nangong Jingming decided to carefully consider the feasibility of this proposal. He scanned the electronic map repeatedly, his fingers tracing different routes, and his mind constantly weighed various possibilities.
After careful consideration, Nangong Jingming gathered everyone together and solemnly explained the change in route. Upon hearing this, everyone expressed their agreement. After all, everyone was eager to achieve good results in the assessment, and Su Siyi's proposal sounded feasible.
So, they resolutely changed their route and strode towards the unexplored area. Their steps were firm, their eyes filled with anticipation and fighting spirit. After walking for about half an hour, the perceptive Chen Zeyu spotted signs of Zerg activity.
"Captain, there's a good chance there are level 2 Zerg ahead, and quite a few of them," Chen Zeyu said solemnly, squatting down and carefully observing the marks on the ground. His fingers gently traced the marks, and with his rich experience, he determined the general situation of the Zerg ahead.
"Then prepare for battle. Anyone feeling tired must withdraw immediately and never risk their lives," Nangong Jingming warned everyone with a serious expression. He knew that the upcoming battle might be fraught with danger, and the safety of the team members was of paramount importance.
"Yes." Everyone responded in unison, their voices loud and firm, their eyes full of trust and gratitude towards Nangong Jingming. Everyone felt very lucky to be able to follow such a captain who always cared about their lives and safety.
Afterward, Chen Zeyu, Ye Xuexin, and Feng Bolin volunteered to scout ahead. They moved cautiously and lightly toward the suspicious area, each step filled with vigilance. The others followed closely behind, maintaining a comfortable distance and ready to provide support.
"Siyi, be sure to be careful and don't stray too far from me." Nangong Jingming turned his head and said to Su Siyi with a look of concern. His eyes revealed deep worry. In this interstellar world full of dangers, he was afraid that Su Siyi would encounter any danger.
"Okay." Su Siyi agreed with a smile, a warm feeling welling up in her heart. She was confident in her own abilities. After this period of training and exercise, her physical fitness and mecha operation skills had significantly improved. However, she also knew what level of Zerg she could handle, as she had never truly tested it. However, based on her current situation, Zerg level one or two seemed easy for her to deal with.
In this interstellar world, most interstellar beings can only defeat Zerg at level one. Level two Zerg are considerably stronger, often requiring the concerted efforts of a team or, more likely, individuals with level three mental power, relying solely on their own powerful mental strength. Generally speaking, interstellar beings are born with level one mental power. With age and continuous practice, this power gradually grows. However, the extent of each individual's mental power growth depends largely on their physical constitution. Those who are able to participate in this assessment are undoubtedly outstanding individuals with mental power levels above level three. They harbor dreams and courage, striving to prove themselves in this challenging test.
In this interstellar forest teeming with uncertainty and challenges, everyone advanced steadily, filled with anxiety and anticipation. Chen Zeyu's assessment was that the enemy ahead was most likely a Level 2 Purple Dragon. With everyone on the team possessing at least Level 3 mental strength, they were confident they could handle it easily, though not without pressure. However, everyone knew that if they were unlucky enough to encounter a Level 3 Zerg, the battle would undoubtedly become much more difficult. Even so, with their combined strength and tacit understanding, victory was not impossible.
Just as everyone was bracing themselves for battle, a message from Feng Bolin shattered the brief silence. He announced that they had successfully located the Zerg's presence, a hundred meters ahead, where a large number of them were gathered. Chen Zeyu identified them as purple dragon bugs. Upon hearing this news, everyone's tension intensified, and they tightened their grip on their weapons, their eyes revealing a fierce determination.
The purple dragon worm, while resembling a snake in appearance, possesses unique characteristics. Two large bumps on its head, resembling small hillocks, add a touch of ferocity and mystery to its form. Its entire body is a deep purple, as if imbued with a mysterious interstellar energy. Reaching up to ten meters in length and as thick as a basketball, it slowly creeps through the forest, flattening vegetation and rustling as it passes, as if declaring its territory.
"Everyone, board your mechas and prepare for battle." Nangong Jingming's voice, deep and powerful, carried clearly through the communication equipment. His eyes revealed decisiveness and resolve, like a battle-hardened general, commanding with unwavering confidence at a crucial moment. Everyone responded quickly, summoning their mechas from their control buttons. For a moment, the sound of metal clashing echoed, and the roar of the mechas was deafening.
Seeing the main force arrive, Feng Bolin and the other three boarded their mechas without hesitation, charging towards the purple dragon worms with the others. After previous battles and adjustments, they had become increasingly proficient in operating the mechas, easily performing everything from nimble runs and leaps to precise and powerful strikes. These mechas, like steel behemoths, demonstrated a formidable advantage against the second-level purple dragon worms, and the battle became one-sided from the outset.
However, the battlefield situation shifted rapidly. "Captain, there are five level three purple dragon insects ahead," Feng Bolin's voice echoed again, a hint of nervousness and vigilance in his tone. He pointed to the rear of the purple dragon insect swarm, where five even larger purple dragon insects were slowly wriggling. Their bodies were nearly twice the size of ordinary purple dragon insects, emitting a chilling aura.
