Chapter 2352

Dapuxiu Fortress, three kilometers to the east.

Su Xiao walked out from an underground passage. This was a pre-prepared retreat route, opened up by two contractors on their side.

Overall, the plan went smoothly. As for killing through the alien fortress, Su Xiao had never thought of that; it wasn't something he could do alone.

The heavy armor troop was very troublesome. If it were in a sufficiently spacious place, Su Xiao would have hundreds of ways to deal with those iron lumps. As for encountering them inside a building, especially a building like a fortress, the best way to deal with it was to retreat. Various control effects without judgment were really a headache.

Su Xiao wasn't afraid of that kind of judgment-type control ability, or rather, the heavy armor troop's wasn't really a strong control ability. They influenced the enemy through oscillation, causing the enemy to accumulate damage inside the body, which then led to paralysis and exhaustion effects.

Looking at the wooden box in his hand, Su Xiao felt relieved. The mission only required 5 space-time crystals, and this plan yielded 9, exceeding the target.

Opening the war channel, Su Xiao began to release a message.

Bai Ye (Dawn Adventure Group): "Got it, 9."

Ghost Girl (Solo): "Mad Doctor, come out."

Ghost Girl (Solo): "You come out, you brought a group of iron-clad monsters to chase me. I know you're there, come out!!"

Mad Doctor (Behind-the-Scenes Poop-Cooking Adventure Group): "That was an accident."

Luoni (Solo): "Behind-the-Scenes Poop-Cooking is out, everyone laugh at him."

Mad Doctor (Behind-the-Scenes Poop-Cooking Adventure Group): "j, may you not die well. Buying adventure group renaming scroll with heavy gold, urgent."

King Kong (Solo): "Retreating, gather at the base camp."

Dean (Solo): "Expected to return to the base camp safely in 1 hour. Current survivors: 150."

The war channel was very lively, mainly because the Ghost Girl was greeting the Mad Doctor, and the Mad Doctor's adventure group name was very individual.

From the Mad Doctor's fragmented words, Su Xiao guessed that the Mad Doctor, the Dean, and Mr. j had once been violators, and their team was called the Gentleman Alliance.

These three had clearly jumped out of the violator's pit. The Gentleman Alliance had once been notorious, and naming the new group this was clearly inappropriate, so Mr. j went to rename the team.

This guy had two renaming permissions, so he changed it to 'Behind-the-Scenes Poop-Cooking (Behind-the-Scenes Mastermind) Adventure Group', preparing to persuade the Mad Doctor and the Dean to quit, and then turn it into a single-person adventure group. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Su Xiao knew Mr. j quite well. This guy had even played a clown before, and his face was thick. The Dean belonged to the type who cared about face and pinched his nose to quit the group. The Mad Doctor was at odds with Mr. j, and both were wearing the 'Behind-the-Scenes Poop-Cooking' team title, neither convinced by the other.

The return journey went smoothly. When Su Xiao arrived at the base camp, there were only ten people left guarding it. The alien side didn't ambush their base camp. After that kind of change, they couldn't care about ambushing at all.

After taking a shower, Su Xiao began to treat the wounds on his body. Because Poison Claw was dead, the spore group on Su Xiao's shoulder had long since fallen off. The wounds slashed by the giant axe alien were not difficult to treat. After returning to the base camp, these were just 'skin wounds'.

Fallen Zone, near an abandoned base camp.

Wisps of blue smoke drifted from the metal wreckage. This had once been the Cult's base camp, and it was now empty.

It was very quiet around. Inside the interlayer of a broken armor plate, it was somewhat dim. Vaguely, one could see an index finger lying alone inside, and the bloodstains on the index finger had dried up.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but this index finger actually moved.

A beetle crawled near this index finger, preparing to gnaw. Suddenly, the beetle's body dissolved and turned into a wisp of smoke.

A very strange smell diffused. In a dirt hole not far away, a rodent crawled out, its red nose twitching. After a while, it ran into the armor plate interlayer.

"Squeak~"

The rodent screamed and then lost its breath. A few seconds later, a slight chewing sound appeared.

The strange fragrance became richer, and dozens of rodents crawled into the armor plate interlayer one after another.

Ten minutes later, a hand with only bones reached out from the armor plate interlayer, and a figure slowly stood up. He was just a skeleton, with granulation and film on the bones, and the eyeballs inside the skull were directly exposed to the air, looking very creepy.

Inside the Reincarnation Paradise base camp, main cabin.

Over a hundred contractors gathered here, and on the round table in the center, 9 space-time crystals were placed.

"Let's start, this is a phased victory."

The Dean, whose face was somewhat pale, spoke. As soon as his voice fell, the space-time crystals on the table disappeared.

【Announcement: War Mission 1: Space-Time Force Condensate (Completed).】

【After this World Conquest War ends, this mission reward will be settled.】

【A total of 9 space-time force condensates have been obtained, which has exceeded the 4 required by the war mission.】

【Permanent space coordinates are being generated...】

【Checking the number of survivors on our side...】

【Check complete. Because the space-time force condensate obtained exceeds the 4 required by the mission, all contractors on our side can make the following choices.】

【1. Return to Reincarnation Paradise immediately. Merit settlement reward is 75%, war mission reward is 100%.】

【2. Compete for the World Core. If completed, the merit settlement reward will be increased by an additional 20%.】

Two choices were placed in front of them. The benefits of obtaining 4 more space-time crystals were reflected at this time.

Permanent space coordinates were about to be generated, which meant they wouldn't need to guard the base camp, and the movement restrictions were lifted.

"I plan to retreat. Who is coming with me?"

Widow Xi spoke. King Kong on the side was very surprised. Just as he was about to ask, he received a brand message from the Dean, telling him not to speak first.

"I only have my skull left, both hands are gone. Staying here only invites pity."

The Poison Master indeed only had a head and part of his torso left; his hands had been bitten off by aliens.

"Count me in."

"Count me in."

A total of seven contractors spoke. They had basically lost two or three large parts. Staying behind meant they could only act in teams with others. In the Poison Master's words, that was begging for pity.

Including the Poison Master, a total of eight people on their side chose to return. Space fluctuations appeared, and these eight people returned to Reincarnation Paradise one after another.

"Widow Xi, you're still not leaving? In a while, the permanent space coordinates will form, and you won't be able to leave then."

King Kong's brain was on 'vacation' again. Widow Xi glanced at him and didn't speak. This glance was full of charm, but the price of peach blossom luck was a bit high—it was fatal.

"Of course she's not leaving. After all, we've cooperated for a few days. The Poison Master is a very sentimental person. Of course, it doesn't matter if we haven't guarded the base camp together. That guy was definitely the first to retreat. Having guarded for so long, without anyone taking the lead, some things are hard to say."

The Dean was old and cunning. When Widow Xi just spoke, he had already thought about what was going on.

The very vengeful Ghost Girl didn't retreat. She wouldn't vent her anger on the Mad Doctor, but this girl hated the heavy armor troop. Even if she was bottled now, it couldn't be let go like this.

150 people, 8 who couldn't fight anymore retreated, the remaining 142 didn't retreat. In the concepts of some lunatics among them, whether they died in this world was secondary. Having been besieged by aliens for so many days, even if they didn't exterminate the aliens, they couldn't let them have a good time.

【Prompt: Permanent space coordinates have been generated. Our base camp is about to change form, expected to lift off in 3 hours.】

【War Mission 2: World Core, activated.】
