Chapter 157: Rescue Mission (44,000 monthly ticket bonus)

"Captain?" Li Yuan was stunned for a moment.

He hadn't even opened his mouth, so how did he become the captain?

One must know that on his Martial Hall registration information, his status was only a level 15 martial artist; by all logic, he shouldn't be able to serve as captain with such strength.

"Hm? Instructor Fang?" Li Yuan's eyes lit up suddenly when he saw an acquaintance.

The former sparring instructor "Fang Longhu," a gold-medal sparring partner.

"Li Yuan."

Fang Longhu laughed: "Don't decline, just agree to it."

"Li Yuan, we all just saw your battle video; it was indeed fierce and very strong."

"Stronger than all of us," other martial artists spoke up one after another, their voices filled with admiration.

While speaking.

Many people pointed to the light screen projection not far away, explaining to Li Yuan.

What was playing on it was exactly the Star Realm Channel, which had many battle videos playing on a loop.

"So fast?" Li Yuan realized the reason—the battle he had just had at the school gate not long ago.

Had it already made it onto the TV program?

Was it that fast?

"Li Yuan, come be the captain," other martial artists shouted one after another: "Form the team, and we can set off. Don't waste time."

"Li Yuan, you can do it," Fang Longhu laughed.

Strong strength? That can only represent the individual.

But daring to fight against a large number of alien races... that is what martial artists truly admire.

If Li Yuan didn't have the video just now.

Then, even if he revealed his strength now, other martial artists would only be "surprised," but they would never admire him from the bottom of their hearts.

"Good, then it will be me," Li Yuan said solemnly, no longer declining.

Captain? It was just a temporary team.

Just set off as soon as possible.

"Good, ten martial artists."

"Thank you for joining the City Patrol Team. The people of Jiang City will not forget you..." the staff member at the reporting point said: "Your information has all been recorded, and you have been formed into a team."

"Remember, unless it is a free patrol mission, you must obey orders and try your best to complete the tasks sent to you by the intelligent system."

"Be sure to be careful, come back alive," the staff member said solemnly.

"Come back alive."

"Alive." Many martial artists spoke up one after another.

Facing life-and-death battles, martial artists, in their hearts, mostly only have the simplest wish—to survive.

Perhaps, the strength of these martial artists is not strong, but they all have a hot heart; otherwise, they wouldn't be standing out now.

*Whoosh! *

A small aircraft landed, large enough to carry ten or twenty people.

"Li Yuan, the aircraft has recorded your information, you can directly operate it by voice," the staff member said: "Go execute the mission immediately."

"Good," Li Yuan nodded: "Everyone get in."

Quickly.

Under Li Yuan's leadership, the ten martial artists sat down quickly, and the aircraft took off.

"Mission: Rescue."

"Target, the 4.3-kilometer 'Tanxi Residential Area,' be fast," Li Yuan had a thought, pressed two keys on the light screen in succession, and immediately piloted the aircraft, flying rapidly toward Tanxi Residential Area.

"Instructor Fang, why did you join the war?" Li Yuan asked with a laugh.

In Li Yuan's impression, the other party was a gold-medal sparring partner.

But he also liked money extremely much.

"Didn't a super genius like you also choose to join the war?" Fang Longhu laughed: "At this time, could we still shrink back?"

"Li Yuan, you are amazing, but don't underestimate us," a burly man carrying a combat blade laughed.

Li Yuan laughed: "How would I dare to underestimate you seniors."

These people—Li Yuan recognized two or three familiar faces, but with a thought, he already knew their strength.

Most were around level 15; the highest was level 17.1, and the lowest was level 14.2.

Are they strong? Not strong!

And looking at their faces, most of these martial artists were over 40 years old. Although they were still in their prime, the probability of them becoming Source martial artists in the future was already very, very low.

They belong to the "old soldiers" among martial artists, and many have experienced multiple life-and-death battles.

"Captain, do you have any plans?" Fang Longhu laughed.

Other martial artists also laughed.

"No plans," Li Yuan laughed lightly: "Find the Fish-Spirit Race and kill them all."

"Leave the strongest ones to me."

In less than two minutes, they had rapidly approached Tanxi Residential Area.

The aircraft landed rapidly.

Visible to the naked eye, several combat drones were chasing and killing Fish-Spirit Race warriors on the ground.

But under the cover of trees and houses.

The chasing effect was very poor.

This is the flaw of drones; in complex environments, their advantages will be greatly weakened... and in this kind of urban environment, even more so, they cannot use heavy weapons.

Relying solely on light weapons, wanting to kill Tier-entry Fish-Spirit Race warriors is actually very difficult.

Besides that, many Fish-Spirit Race had already rushed into the residential building corridors, crazily attacking doors, walls, and windows... The construction of today's residential areas, various steel materials, and walls were all reinforced, and ordinary Tier-entry martial artists were very hard to destroy.

But even so, many houses were breached, and there were human corpses and remains.

"Get ready."

Li Yuan suddenly said in a low, solemn voice: "According to the system's automatic matching, three people in a group cooperate with each other, pushing forward and clearing out along the left, middle, and right corridors... If you encounter danger, ask me for help immediately."

"Observe the Skynet system reminders at any time."

3331 tactical formation.

It is a key research topic in general knowledge classes regarding martial artists clearing out alien races in corridors.

The strength of the three advancing groups is often about the same.

In field battles, teams often advance in an "arrowhead" shape, while urban clearing battles are mostly three-line flat pushes.

The strongest captain stays in the middle as a reserve. Once a strong point is encountered, the team provides support at the first opportunity, forming an overwhelming advantage locally.

"Alright."

"Don't worry, Captain." These martial artists were mostly very experienced, leaping out of the aircraft from a height of seven or eight meters, forming a 33 formation, and immediately rushing into the three units of a residential building.

Clear out inch by inch! Thoroughly clear out!

"According to the Skynet reminder, there should be Fish-Spirit Race warriors in this building," Li Yuan kept observing the smart wristband with his peripheral vision, while also being vigilant in all directions.

To prevent a sudden attack.

"Found! 0!" A voice suddenly sounded from the smart wristband.

Found, representing enemy situation found.

0, representing it can be solved, estimated 0 casualties.

"Rumble~" A violent explosion suddenly erupted in one of the units, and a fierce confrontation had already unfolded.

Only two seconds later.

"Found!! 23! 23! 23!" A rapid voice suddenly transmitted from Li Yuan's smart wristband.

"Not good."

Li Yuan, who had been vigilant, listened to the sound to identify the position, leaped out of the aircraft in a flash, and rushed into the second unit like lightning.

23!

2, representing the 2nd team.

3, representing the three-person team encountering an unstoppable terrifying danger, very likely to be completely wiped out.

... Boom!

Li Yuan erupted at full speed, his figure like lightning, like a super cheetah, rushing up to the third floor in the blink of an eye.

The thick smell of blood diffused.

"Rumble~" "Boom!" The room door was wide open, and a shocking confrontation was erupting inside.

A Fish-Spirit Race warrior with an exceptionally large body was crazily waving its combat blade, suppressing Fang Longhu and the other three, who were struggling to hold on.

"17.6." Li Yuan judged instantly.

This kind of Fish-Spirit Race warrior was already very astonishing. On the wall in the distance, there was a large amount of blood.

On the floor, there were incomplete corpses.

And on the Fish-Spirit Race warrior's mouth, there was blood mixed with meat foam flowing down.

Everything didn't need to be stated clearly.

"Die."

Li Yuan's killing intent soared to the sky, his figure drifted, he stepped on the wall with one foot, and crossed over Fang Longhu and the other three in a flash, his speed incredibly fast.

"Boom!" The long spear in his hand thrust out suddenly.

This spear was fast to the extreme, steady! Accurate! Ruthless! So fast that this Fish-Spirit Race warrior could only subconsciously raise its arm, attempting to block this spear.

*Hum~* A trace of light swept past the spear tip.

"Puff!"

A spear carrying an incredible twisting force, like a sudden eruption from a vortex.

The spear tip instantly pierced through the opponent's arm obstruction, and following that, directly pierced through the opponent's throat, directly stabbing into the wall behind.

This Fish-Spirit Race warrior was hit and slammed into the wall, its feet even off the ground.

"Ang~" This Fish-Spirit Race warrior opened its mouth, but couldn't make a sound.

Blood flowed, and its eyes dimmed rapidly.

One spear, dead!

*Whoosh! *

Li Yuan pulled out the spear, staring at this Fish-Spirit Race warrior, his peripheral vision sweeping over the messy room, his heart feeling more and more suppressed, with a surge of anger needing to be vented.

"So strong."

"So fast."

"Li Yuan? Oh no! It's the Captain." Fang Longhu and the others didn't care too much about this scene.

They had experienced too much and had mostly seen more tragic scenes.

What surprised them most was the strength Li Yuan displayed.

Fiercely astonishing, much stronger than the impact displayed on the battle video before.

"Continue clearing out," Li Yuan ordered in a low voice, turning and walking out of the room.

"Yes."

Fang Longhu and the others realized that although Li Yuan's strength was strong, he was ultimately only 18 years old. Perhaps this was the first time he had seen the scene of an alien race eating people... The impact of such a scene on a person's heart was very great.

Time passed, and under Li Yuan's leadership, this small team rapidly cleared out over 20 Fish-Spirit Race warriors in the residential area.

Of course, other martial artist teams also arrived to complete it together.

Click to report "Mission Complete."

Then, the intelligent system would rapidly distribute new tasks, letting them set off.

This is the power of technology.

First, the intelligent system would judge the "alien threat level" of each dangerous place based on Skynet's diagnosis.

Then, through Skynet's real-time tracking, based on the physical fitness, skills, actual combat record, etc., of each team member, it would derive the team's "combat power score."

It could then reasonably distribute different teams to different tasks, striving to achieve the best match.

While avoiding casualties.

Maximizing the strength of all patrol teams.

Night gradually fell.

The team led by Li Yuan had already continuously executed four missions, gradually moving away from the central urban area and heading toward the suburbs.

The defense system here was much weaker. Although there were fewer people than in the central urban area, the casualties were even greater.

The more they fought.

The more they saw, Li Yuan's heart also gradually changed from initial anger and suppression to coldness.

"Kill!"

"Kill all these alien races." Li Yuan's heart became colder and colder, and he led the team to complete the fifth mission.

Click "Mission Complete."

After resting for only a few minutes.

"Beep~" A new mission arrived.

"Emergency mission, Nanhuang Primary School is suddenly besieged by Fish-Spirit Race warriors, rush to rescue, there are at least three level 17 Fish-Spirit Race warriors, be careful! Be sure to be careful!" The mission reminded continuously.

"Let's go."

Li Yuan led the team, piloting the aircraft, soaring into the sky, and rushing rapidly toward the target location.

The mission location eight kilometers away.

It was not far from "Nanye Lake," the largest lake in Jiang City's jurisdiction.
