“Cut it out, it’s just like that. He just wasn’t prepared at the beginning.” Zi Qiao said disdainfully.
Xue Mo Yin also nodded. It seemed that this guy was indeed no threat to them. To be honest, in their eyes, this guy was not as good as the group of ordinary zombies outside, because those guys were simply too numerous! Their stamina and energy would not be able to support such a long battle.
These Lickers, although their individual strength exceeded that of ordinary zombies by a lot, still had a considerable gap compared to them. Moreover, even if all the Lickers here ran out, there would be less than fifty of them, a number that would not put them under any pressure at all.
Drawing his long sword, Xue Mo Yin also walked over. “Zi Qiao, release two of them.”
“Okay!” With two bangs, two petri dishes shattered, and the Lickers inside slowly emerged.
Like Zi Qiao, his swordsmanship was also simple, just hacking, chopping, and thrusting. He hadn't systematically learned any sword techniques, but his strength and speed were higher than Zi Qiao’s. Firstly, he had taken two Marrow Washing Pills after all. Secondly, his previous physical fitness was much better than Zi Qiao's, so he absorbed the potency of the pills better.
He flashed and instantly appeared in front of a Licker, his long sword piercing straight into its head. Poor thing, it had been out for less than a minute and was already served its lunch, while the other one was no luckier.
Before the other one could charge, Xue Mo Yin took the initiative. He flashed again, dodging its attack by slightly tilting his body, then immediately switched to a reverse grip and stabbed back. A fine head instantly gained a big hole.
Mo Yin sheathed his long sword. He was about to tell Zi Qiao to release a few more when Yi Fei, standing by the side, couldn’t take it anymore! “Dithering! Just one thing, get out of my way! You two release five more, and our mission will be done.”
Xue Mo Yin looked at this violent woman speechlessly. Why was she so irritable? He then could only helplessly break five more petri dishes with Zi Qiao. As for whether they were worried about Hu Yi Fei’s safety, they just chuckled. Her fighting power was not something these little Lickers could match.
The five Lickers had slowly walked out of the petri dishes. This was when they were weakest, but Hu Yi Fei didn’t seem to intend to take advantage of it. She just stood there casually, holding her knife, without any sign of seriousness.
In just a few seconds, the Lickers reached their peak state and roared as they charged towards Yi Fei. It must be said that their momentum was quite intimidating. If it were Mo Yin and Zi Qiao, they might have first avoided the sharp edge of their attack.
However… Hu Yi Fei had a disdainful look on her face. Her long knife dropped naturally, and her entire aura suddenly underwent a drastic change.
“Shadow Breaking Sword Art – Following Shadow!”
Her speed, at this moment, was not even comparable to that of a normal person. Even Mo Yin could only see a blurred afterimage. It was enough to show how fast she had become!
After just about four or five seconds, Hu Yi Fei suddenly appeared behind the five Lickers. The five Lickers seemed to freeze in place, and then their heads fell one by one. The green blood on the Tang knife seemed to tell the story of what had just happened.
One strike, five kills!
Zi Qiao and Mo Yin exchanged a look and both swallowed hard. Good heavens! This fighting power was just too damn scary. Mo Yin was even more speechless. I'm the protagonist! I'm the protagonist! Why does this woman have such fighting power?
Seeing the two stunned, Hu Yi Fei said impatiently, “What are you standing there for? Check if the mission is completed!”
“Oh, oh, oh, right. Let’s check if the mission is done.” Hearing her reminder, Mo Yin reacted as well. He had been a bit scared by her just now.
“Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing the mission! You can leave this world at any time. The maximum stay is seven days.”
Seeing the system panel display, Zi Qiao put away his halberd. “Well, since the mission is completed, let’s go back.”
But Mo Yin had some other thoughts at this time. Why did he say that this world would be best if Zhan Bo could come over? A large part of the reason was because of the AI: “Red Queen.”
Although their strength mainly came from the system, an AI that surpassed this world by so much, she had a lot of things that they could use. And combined with Zhan Bo's computer and mechanical skills, they might really give themselves a surprise.
“What are you thinking about? You can’t go back, can you?” Hu Yi Fei patted him.
Mo Yin rolled his eyes. “Of course I can go back, but before I go back, I want to take something away.” After telling the two about his idea, they both fell into thought.
“Then let’s vote. This is our first vote, and we’ll do it this way from now on. For any important decisions, we’ll all vote together, and no matter what the result is, it’ll be something that everyone is at least relatively satisfied with.” Xue Mo Yin suggested.
“I object! This is not very important for our team, and besides, Zhan Bo is not suitable for our adventures.” Hu Yi Fei immediately cast her vote against. This mission was probably quite easy for them, but for Zhan Bo, Hu Yi Fei shook her head. She knew her brother too well. He hadn't even prepared himself for an adventure.
“I think we should go! This Red Queen will definitely be a big help to us in the future. Whether it’s intelligence, information security, mechanical manufacturing, none of that will be a problem. Moreover, our communication devices will also be usable here, and it can greatly improve Zhan Bo’s fighting ability. I think we should go.”
Mo Yin wanted to go. Before they started training, he already had a preliminary idea of the future roles of everyone. And Zhan Bo was definitely the perfect choice for an engineer. His expectations for Zhan Bo were never about fighting, but about refining, puppetry, and mechanics. So this Red Queen was very important.
At this time, they had one vote in favor and one against, making it a tie. Zi Qiao’s vote became the most crucial. Hu Yi Fei didn’t threaten him either, after all, they had agreed on this at the beginning, just to take care of everyone.
Zi Qiao also didn’t expect to be the one making the decision one day. He immediately started acting up. “I think...” At this point, Zi Qiao also thought seriously for a moment.
“I think we should go. After all, as Mo Yin said, we do need the Red Queen.” Zi Qiao thought for a moment and finally agreed with Xue Mo Yin’s idea.
Hu Yi Fei was helpless, but since they all agreed to abide by the voting decision, she didn’t say anything more.
“Okay, that’s settled. Everyone’s had a rest, let’s go find the Red Queen. Let’s take a good look at this Hive as well.”
The three took out the dry food they had prepared from their space backpacks, found a random spot, and rested there.
Yi Fei's face had been full of worry ever since she finished voting. He was her only brother, and he hadn't even made their family famous yet, and now he was going to do something so dangerous. She was still very worried, and even thought in her heart that she should tell Mo Yin not to bring him along in the future. She knew her brother too well. Given the situation that day, if he were to actually go on a mission, he’d probably be so scared that he wouldn’t even be able to hold the gun properly.
“Worried about Zhan Bo?” Mo Yin sat next to her at this time, leaning close to her, even able to feel her thigh.
But Yi Fei didn’t say anything, she just rolled her eyes at him, “How could I not worry? We only have one son in the family, if something happens to him, how can I face our ancestors? You say, can we not take him in the future?”
Xue Mo Yin sighed. “You’re overthinking things. I’ll say it again, if he doesn’t really get ready, I won’t take him. And if he really decides to join our team, then no matter what I do, I will bring him out safely and sound. So don’t worry, it’s up to him!”
