Chapter 53: Fierce Battle

"Do you want to take the Hundred Brilliance Cup?"

"Among those participating in the competition, there is no one who doesn't want to enter the top hundred and obtain the generous rewards."

"How generous?"

"For the first place in the previous session, not to mention anything else, the system alone directly leveled up by fifteen levels."

"Ah?!" Su Xi widened her eyes in shock, 【Er Miao, did you hear that?】

【The rewards for this session haven't been released yet, but with such a huge unexpected change, the rewards definitely won't be bad. Host, keep it up! Fifteen levels will be ours!】

【Must fight for it!】 With a tangible reward, Su Xi was full of motivation.

Rui Xue Er, the captain of the Alliance, had fallen into a bitter battle.

Her team had stumbled into a Zerg nest by mistake. The strength of the mother worm was a hundred times that of the male worms. In no time, three of her four teammates had already been infected by the Zerg, and one was heavily injured; she had to find a way to send her to a safe zone for treatment.

A helicopter flew in from the sky.

She immediately sent out a distress signal.

Distress signals appeared in other directions as well; clearly, everyone's situation was similar and not optimistic.

Lu Jin looked at the area below, which was almost submerged by the Zerg, "Su Xi, should we save them?"

"Save them, we definitely have to save them. This is merit, but wait a moment." Su Xi released all the Tribulation Lightning Silk from her Origin Spirit Mansion.

Usually, the Thunder-Gang Rod would come out, and these Tribulation Lightning Silk would only have the chance to covet it. Being released suddenly like this, they were disoriented, but eventually, they all flew toward the Thunder-Gang Rod.

The Thunder-Gang Rod carried those Tribulation Lightning Silk and headed straight for the Zerg.

"The Thunder-Gang Rod only kills the Zerg; you just need to follow it to save people. I'll go down and meet the Zerg." Su Xi placed Xiao Mi in the co-pilot seat, "Be good, don't bother Brother Lu Jin, okay?"

"Okay!" Xiao Mi nodded obediently.

Su Xi flew out of the helicopter, a high-grade spirit sword appearing in her hand, 【Er Miao, protect yourself well.】

Since the Zerg were specifically targeting the system, she would not use the system, and it was also a good opportunity to practice the spells she had learned at the South Dao Sect over these years.

Lu Jin drove the helicopter to save people, occasionally watching Su Xi slaughter the Zerg. Almost every sword strike she swung took the life of a Zerg.

The Zerg, which were a huge threat to them, looked as simple as chopping vegetables and melons to her.

Lu Jin recalled his understanding of the system world; he had no idea which civilized world she came from.

【Host, keep it up!】 Er Miao cheered Su Xi on.

Su Xi condensed a Thunder Ball in her hand and threw it toward the cluster of Zerg... After a 'Boom—' sound of thunder, the Zerg turned into a pile of mangled corpses and severed limbs.

Rui Xue Er, who was fighting hard, saw Su Xi, especially the Thunder Ball in her hand, and her eyes widened.

"Su Xi—" Rui Xue Er ran over.

Su Xi saw the Zerg behind her, waved the spirit sword in her hand, and killed them cleanly, "Captain Rui Xue Er, did you send out the distress signal?"

"Yes, I have a teammate who is heavily injured. She hasn't been infected; she can still be saved." Rui Xue Er led Su Xi toward the wounded.

Finally, under Su Xi's cover, Rui Xue Er helped her heavily injured teammate onto the helicopter.

Xiao Mi handed the first-aid kit Lu Jin had prepared to Rui Xue Er, "Big sister, do you need my help?"

"Thank you, little sister, no need." Seeing Xiao Mi, who was as cute and soft as an angel, Rui Xue Er's tense and panicked mind suddenly calmed down a lot.

Xiao Mi sat back in the co-pilot seat.

Lu Jin looked at her, a hint of gentle smile in his eyes, "I remember you seemed to say you were playing hide-and-seek with your family?"

"Mm!" Xiao Mi nodded, a large baby bottle appearing in her hand, and she took two gulps.

Lu Jin looked at her, "Which civilized world do you come from?"

"I am not from the system world," Xiao Mi replied.

Lu Jin was astonished, "You are not from the system world, then... you can travel across galaxies?"

Since she was not from the system world, she must have come from other galaxies.

Xiao Mi thought for a moment and replied: "Something like that."

"How did you do it?" Lu Jin had always felt that Xiao Mi was not simple, appearing in the competition venue inexplicably. It was just that she was too small and looked completely harmless, so he hadn't paid much attention.

Xiao Mi replied: "A talent given by my mother."

Lu Jin: "..."

The helicopter arrived at another distress location, but this place had already completely become the Zerg's territory.

Lu Jin turned the direction again and continued to fly toward other locations.

Xiao Mi looked at those Zerg, "This is a virus, right? We could ask people from the Origin Universe Race to come over; it should be very easy for them to solve."

Rui Xue Er said: "If external forces come in, the Hundred Brilliance Cup will be over. Now the competition is still ongoing, which means this Zerg attack has turned into the final."

"Then many people will die," Xiao Mi asked: "Real deaths, not just the parts projected in the competition venue."

"What?!" Rui Xue Er was shocked.

Lu Jin's expression was also exceptionally heavy.

Xiao Mi replied: "The systems attacked by the Zerg are connected to the main bodies."

"If the main bodies also turn into Zerg, many places should have already started to have Zerg chaos," Lu Jin thought more deeply.

Rui Xue Er's hand could barely hold the syringe steady.

Su Xi teleported back into the helicopter, caught her breath, and said: "Take a break."

"I'll go down and kill the Zerg," Lu Jin unbuckled his seatbelt.

Su Xi hurriedly said: "I don't know how to drive."

Rui Xue Er replied: "I can."

"Good, I'll leave it to you." Lu Jin jumped out of the helicopter, a rocket launcher appeared in his hand, and he bombarded the ground!

He didn't use the system, but he had plenty of weapons.

Although not as powerful as Su Xi and her Life-bound Dharma Treasure, a single shell could still blow up several Zerg.

Rui Xue Er piloted the helicopter to the location of a distress signal, only to see a contestant who had turned into a Zerg, "Contestants who only have a system and no other means of self-preservation will be very passive!"

"Take your teammate to the safe zone first," Su Xi said to Rui Xue Er.

Rui Xue Er nodded and piloted the helicopter toward the safe zone.

Su Xi did not pay attention to the Thunder-Steel Mace and those threads of thunder; what they killed was equivalent to her killing, the more the better.

Upon arriving at the safe zone, it was already packed with dense crowds of contestants; seeing the helicopter fly back, those people squeezed together again to make room for an empty space.

Emergency personnel came over; they first scanned the wounded, and only after confirming she was not infected by the Zerg did they transfer her into an emergency pod and take her away.

Su Xi asked Xiao Mi, "Do you want to stay here?"

Xiao Mi shook her head, "I have the ability to protect myself, Big Sister need not worry."

Su Xi touched her little face, "Alright, then follow Big Sister and watch how Big Sister kills the Zerg."

Rui Xue Er said, "I will go with you."

Su Xi looked at her pale complexion and said with concern, "You should rest for a while first."

"I have no problem piloting the helicopter," Rui Xue Er said as she controlled the helicopter to take flight.

Su Xi did not say anything more; she took two Top-Grade Spirit Stones from the System Space and quickly absorbed them, converting them into Thunder Spirit Power.

?? I have some family matters recently; once I am finished, I will add more chapters for you darlings, love you, goodnight~
