“Team leader?” Li Yuan was taken aback.
He hadn't even spoken yet, how had he become the team leader?
To think that on the Martial Hall's registration information, he was only a 15th-level Martial Artist. With such strength, it wasn't proper for him to be a team leader yet.
“Hmm? Coach Fang?” Li Yuan's eyes suddenly brightened as he saw a familiar face.
The former sparring coach 'Fang Longhu,' a gold-medal sparring partner.
“Li Yuan.”
Fang Longhu smiled, “Don't refuse, just accept it.”
“Li Yuan, we just saw your combat video, it was indeed fierce, very strong.”
“Stronger than all of us.” The other Martial Artists spoke one after another, their voices full of admiration.
As they spoke,
many pointed towards the light screen projection not far away, and started explaining to Li Yuan.
Displayed on it was the Star Realm channel, with many combat videos playing in rotation.
“This soon?” Li Yuan realized the reason–it was the battle that had erupted just now at the school gate.
Had it already made it onto television?
That fast?
“Li Yuan, come be the team leader.” The other Martial Artists clamored, “Once we form the team, we can set off, don't waste time.”
“Li Yuan, you can do it.” Fang Longhu smiled.
Strength? It only represents an individual.
But to dare to fight against a large number of the Alien Race… that is what the Martial Artists truly admire.
If Li Yuan didn't have the video from earlier,
then even if he demonstrated his strength now, the other Martial Artists would only be 'surprised', but would not truly respect him from the bottom of their hearts.
“Fine, I'll do it.” Li Yuan said solemnly, no longer refusing.
Team leader? It was just a temporary team.
The sooner they set off, the better.
“Good, ten Martial Artists.”
“Thank you for joining the patrol team, the people of Jiang City will not forget you…” the reporting point's staff repeated, “All your information has been entered, forming one team.”
“Remember, unless it's a free patrol mission, you must follow orders and try to complete the tasks assigned by the smart system.”
“Be very careful, and come back alive,” the staff member said sternly.
“Come back alive.”
“Alive.” Many Martial Artists spoke out in agreement.
Facing life-or-death combat, the hearts of the Martial Artists mostly harbored the simplest wish–to survive.
Perhaps these Martial Artists were not strong, but they each had a burning passion in their hearts, otherwise they would not be standing out now.
Whoosh!
A small flying vehicle descended, large enough to seat about ten to twenty people.
“Li Yuan, the flying vehicle has your information recorded, you can control it with voice commands.” the staff member continued, “Go and carry out the mission immediately.”
“Okay,” Li Yuan nodded, “Everyone, get in.”
Quickly,
under Li Yuan's leadership, the ten Martial Artists sat down swiftly, and the flying vehicle took off.
“Mission: Rescue.”
“Target, Tanxi Residential Area, 4.3 kilometers away–hurry.” Li Yuan thought quickly, tapping two keys on the light screen in succession, then immediately piloting the flying vehicle and rapidly heading towards Tanxi Residential Area.
“Coach Fang, why have you also joined the battle?” Li Yuan asked with a smile.
In Li Yuan's memory, the other party was a gold-medal coach.
But also very fond of money.
“Hasn't a super genius like you chosen to join the battle as well?” Fang Longhu smiled, “At such a time, can we still retreat?”
“Li Yuan, you are formidable, but don't underestimate us either,” a man carrying a Combat Saber said with a laugh.
Li Yuan replied with a smile, “How dare I underestimate my seniors.”
Li Yuan recognized two or three familiar faces among these people, but with a thought, he already knew their strengths.
Most were around 15th-level, with the highest at 17.1 and the lowest at 14.2.
Are they strong? Not strong!
And looking at their faces, most of these Martial Artists were over 40 years old–still in their prime age, but the chances of becoming a Prime Warrior in the future? It was very low.
They were the 'veterans' among the Martial Artists, many of whom had experienced life-or-death battles multiple times.
“Team leader, do we have a plan?” Fang Longhu asked with a smile.
The other Martial Artists also smiled.
“No plan,” Li Yuan answered with a light smile, “Find the Fish Spirit Clan and wipe them out.”
“The strongest, leave to me.”
In less than two minutes, they had rapidly approached Tanxi Residential Area.
The flying vehicle descended swiftly.
To the naked eye, several combat drones were chasing the Fish Spirit Clan on the ground.
But under the cover of trees and buildings,
the chase wasn't going well.
This was a weakness of drones–in complex environments, their advantages are greatly reduced… and in a city environment like this, heavy weapons cannot be used.
Just with light weapons, it's actually very difficult to kill Entry Rank members of the Fish Spirit Clan.
Moreover, many from the Fish Spirit Clan had already rushed into the building's corridors, attacking doors, walls, and windows like mad… Modern residential buildings are constructed with various strengthened steel materials and walls, which generally cannot be destroyed by ordinary Entry Rank Martial Artists.
Even so, quite a few homes were breached, bodies of humans strewn about.
“Get ready,”
Li Yuan said gravely, “As matched automatically by the system, form groups of three for mutual coordination, and push forward along the left, center, and right corridors… Call for reinforcements from me immediately if you encounter danger.”
“Keep an eye on reminders from the Sky Net system.”
The 3331 tactic.
It's a key research topic from the general knowledge courses on how Martial Artists clear corridors of aliens.
Advancing in three groups, their strength is often quite similar.
In field battles, teams often move forward in an 'arrowhead' formation, while in urban clearance battles, they mostly push forward in three lines.
The strongest team leader stays in reserve at the center, ready to support the moment they encounter a strong enemy, to create an overwhelming advantage locally.
“Alright.”
“Captain, rest assured.” These martial artists were mostly very experienced and promptly leaped from a seven or eight-meter height, forming a formation of three and immediately charging into three units of a residential building.
Inch by inch, annihilation! Thorough cleansing!
“According to SkyNet's reminder, this building should all have Fish Spirit Clan warriors,” Li Yuan glanced at his smart wristband while remaining vigilant of his surroundings.
To prevent a sudden attack.
“Contact! 0!” A voice suddenly rang out from the smart wristband.
Contact means an enemy has been spotted.
0 means it can be dealt with, with an expected zero casualties.
“Boom!” A violent explosion suddenly erupted from one of the units, signaling the commencement of combat.
Just two seconds later.
“Contact!! 23! 23! 23!” Li Yuan's smart wristband suddenly transmitted an urgent voice.
“Not good.”
Li Yuan, who had been on alert, identified the direction of the sound and instantly flew out of the aircraft, zipping into the second unit like lightning.
23!
2 represents the second team.
3 signifies that a trio squad has encountered an unstoppable, horrifying danger, with the likelihood of total annihilation.
…Boom!
Li Yuan burst forth with full speed, his figure lightning-fast as if he were a super cheetah, and in the blink of an eye, he had dashed up to the third floor.
The thick scent of blood wafted through the air.
“Boom!” “Bang!” The door to the room burst open, and an intense battle raged within.
A particularly massive Fish Spirit Clan being was frantically swinging its combat saber, overpowering Fang Longhu and his team of three who were struggling to hold their own.
“17.6 level,” Li Yuan assessed in an instant.
The strength of this Fish Spirit Clan warrior was very formidable; the distant wall was spattered with a great deal of blood.
On the floor lay mutilated corpses.
And from the mouth of the Fish Spirit Clan warrior, blood mixed with bits of flesh was dripping down.
All was self-evident, no need for words.
“Die.”
A strong intent to kill surged in Li Yuan's heart as he glided forward, his foot stomping against the wall and with a swift motion, he was already past Fang Longhu and the others, his speed inconceivable.
“Bang!” His long spear thrust out furiously.
This thrust was exceedingly fast, stable, accurate, and ruthless, so fast that the Fish Spirit Clan warrior could only instinctively raise its arm in a futile attempt to block the spear.
A faint glow flitted across the spear's tip.
“Pfft!”
The spear carried an incredible twisting force, as if erupting from a vortex.
In an instant, the spear's tip pierced through the interception of the Fish Spirit Clan warrior's arm and then directly through its throat, embedding itself in the wall behind.
The Fish Spirit Clan warrior was slammed against the wall, its feet off the ground.
“Ahh~” The Fish Spirit Clan warrior opened its mouth but could not produce a sound.
Blood flowed, and its eyes quickly dimmed.
One thrust, dead!
Whoosh!
Li Yuan withdrew his spear and looked at the Fish Spirit Clan warrior, his gaze then sweeping over the messy room, his heart growing even more oppressive, a rage threatening to burst forth.
“So strong.”
“So fast.”
“Li Yuan, oh no! Captain,” Fang Longhu and the others were not too concerned with the scene.
They had seen too much, most had witnessed even more gruesome scenes.
What surprised them the most was the strength Li Yuan had unleashed.
Powerfully astonishing, far more forceful than what had been shown in previous battle videos.
“Continue the cleansing,” Li Yuan ordered in a low voice and turned to leave the room.
“Yes.”
Fang Longhu and the team were aware that although Li Yuan was strong, he was after all only 18 years old, and it might be his first time witnessing an Alien Race devouring humans… Such scenes had a significant impact on one's psyche.
Time marched on, and under Li Yuan's leadership, their squad swiftly cleared the neighborhood of over 20 Fish Spirit Clan beings.
Of course, other martial artist teams also arrived to complete the mission together.
Click to report 'mission completed'.
Then, the intelligent system would swiftly assign a new mission, dispatching them to carry out a rescue.
This is the power of technology.
First, the intelligent system would determine the 'Alien threat level' of each danger location based on an assessment from SkyNet.
Then, using real-time tracking through SkyNet and considering each squad member's Physical Quality, skills, and combat record, it would calculate the squad's 'Combat Power Score.'
This would allow the different squads to be appropriately allocated to various missions, striving for a match where middle horses faced middle horses.
Minimizing casualties all the while and maximizing the effectiveness of all patrolling squads to the greatest extent.
The night gradually fell.
The team headed by Li Yuan had already carried out four missions, gradually moving away from the central metropolitan area towards the suburbs.
Here, the defense systems were much weaker, and although there were fewer people than in the city center, the casualties were inversely greater.
The more they fought.
The more Li Yuan witnessed, his initial anger and oppression in his heart gradually turned to coldness.
“Kill!”
“Exterminate all these Aliens,” Li Yuan's heart grew colder as he led the team to complete their fifth mission.
Click 'mission completed'.
After just a few minutes of rest.
“Beep~” The new mission arrived.
“Urgent mission, Nanhuang Elementary School has suddenly encountered an attack by Fish Spirit Clan warriors, proceed to rescue immediately, with at least three 17-level Fish Spirit Clan warriors, be careful! Exercise extreme caution!” the mission repeatedly warned.
“Let's go.”
Li Yuan led the team, piloting the aircraft, and soared into the sky, rushing toward the target location.
Eight kilometers away from the mission site.
Nearing Nanye Lake, the largest lake under the jurisdiction of Jiang City.
