He raised his chin, looking very confident.
Three - He gestured to the two ladies in silence:
Two, one, attack!
The moment he retracted his index finger and clenched it into a fist, he threw the smoke bomb in his other hand against the wall to the left side of the intersection.
"Boom."
The smoke spread and immediately attracted the attention of a large number of soldiers, but the part of the troops guarding in front of the support compartment did not turn back immediately, but turned their backs to their teammates, highlighting their trust.
But they will soon regret trusting their teammates so much——
When the smoke completely blocked the path to the containment compartment, a high-throw flash grenade that Team A had been studying overnight drew an extremely beautiful arc and exploded with white light above their heads.
The masks of the virtual soldiers that could shield against radiation and flashes were completely defenseless against the sudden white light. Their biometric recognition systems were also disrupted at the same time, and they were completely passive.
They could only hear the sound of the wind approaching quickly and the sound of their comrades' armor tearing, accompanied by the woman's light shout. When their vision and biometric recognition abilities were restored, all they could see was their bodies separated from their heads.
Faced with five wooden-like pawns, Eula lowered her requirements for swinging and chose to attack the shoulder and neck, a relatively fatal position. Even if she couldn't kill the humanoid's head with one sword, she could still severely injure the humanoid.
While Eula was slashing and hacking, Holhaiya's tail also passed over the shield and pierced through the leg armor of a virtual soldier. After dragging it to the ground, Miss Quetzalcoatl immediately pounded her staff down like pounding rice cakes, smashing the poor creature's head into pieces.
"Powderization!"
The greatsword is a heavy melee weapon that combines armor-piercing efficiency with AOE. Therefore, even if the opponent has a shield, Eula can still quickly break their defense line. By the time Kong rushed out of the smoke and Holhaya shook off the corpse on her tail, Eula had already eliminated four virtual soldiers in the same direction and was waiting for Kong's further instructions.
The sudden deaths of all the weak soldiers on the rear defense line finally made the monsters who were on guard duty realize that they could no longer turn a blind eye. They jumped sideways one after another, and the sharp arm blades still glowed with a cold color in the warm natural light of the space station.
These guys were very agile and professional in running in arcs on the hexagonal tube walls of the space station to avoid bullets. It seemed that they had fought many battles with long-range attack forces, and their overall movement was as fast as the Zerg's springtails.

04. Good smoke, good flash, good fire!
"Quick, move towards the support section! I'll block the rear fire!"
Kong held the AK but did not fire. He pulled the gun belt, and the two incendiary bombs that he had held in his hands for a long time fell just in front of the defenders of the containment cabin who were returning to defend the containment cabin with his full strength, forming two fire corridors in front and behind. The raging fire quickly engulfed all possible places in the pipeline.
It seemed that he was already accustomed to bullying the local "natives". Xu Zu did not even bother to check what kind of fuel the raging fire that looked like an ordinary flame was caused by, and he just strode into the fire.
At first, the shield was just slightly distorted, which was a normal phenomenon caused by high temperature. But in the second second after stepping in, the shield of the virtual soldiers was broken by the destruction of the rule-based attack. They were shocked and wanted to jump out of the area covered by the flames, but it was too late. Their boots began to melt, followed by their calves, and finally the whole body could not keep balance at all, and they fell in the middle of the fire.
The first virtual soldiers to enter the flames had been burned and curled up, with their cores exposed. Even so, the flames did not let them go and continued to burn until annihilation occurred.
Under the blessing of destruction, the stable antimatter eventually "lost its integrity", collapsed inward and hollowed out the surrounding circle of matter, dragging in several guys who did not have time to enter the fire scene, triggering a chain annihilation.
The ground that was not destroyed by the incendiary bombs was gouged into pits by the annihilation of the virtual soldiers, and at one point it almost dug through the inner wall of the space station.
While ensuring that the rear was clear, Kong lowered his body and followed Holhaya to continue running towards the support compartment.
There was a Trampler blocking the road ahead, and the Tamperer who looked very much like a "spellcaster" had not made a move yet. He could only hope that Eula could defeat the opponent head-on and create a chance for him and Holhaiya to behead him.
"!!" The virtual soldier tamperer at the end of the passage pointed at the sky, and the centaur trampler who was rushing towards the three people suddenly braked, stopped his four hooves, and then picked up the equally huge bow and arrow in his hand and quickly shot it at the sky -
"Watch out for the arrows!!"
There was a flash of ice in Eula's eyes. Although Kong had told her to save elemental power, this was the moment when she should give something. The Eye of the Ice God emitted a halo, and the greatsword wrapped in ice elemental power blocked forward, seemingly completely covering Kong and Holhaiya behind her.
Holhaiya also stood in front of Kong, and the converter on the exoskeleton quickly generated a dark green crystal shield.
Actually, this individual crystal shield was developed when the doctor was still in office, and was distributed to each operator just before he left. Who would have thought that it would be used on him in the end——
But Kong didn't need the two beauties to worry about him. The moment he was locked, he felt a sharp pain in his head as if he had been electrocuted... He learned this strange ability when he was driving a Gundam, and it has saved him several times.
The opponent's lock was very strange, as if Eula and Holhaiya's protection was completely ineffective. He had seen many similar attack methods, so his response was also quite simple.
“Crack, bang—”
While throwing the smoke bomb at his feet, he immediately rushed to his right.
The Trampler released the bowstring, but the arrow did not go in a straight line as Eula had imagined. Instead, it made a small turn and passed by her sword, more like an elemental combat skill driven by elemental force, and did not hit Holhayya's crystal shield.
"PhD!!"
"null!!"
"I'm fine. Focus on eliminating the tamperer behind you first!"
Kong, who was lying in the smoke, did not stand up, trying his best to reduce the chances of being shot.
The arrow just now pierced a hole in the ground, and oxygen slowly flowed out of the space station through the hole. Looking at the size of the hole, even anti-material rifles cannot produce such a huge power. The locking ability of the Tamperer is almost the same as the external gun control of the Trampler, and it can hit whatever it points. This coordination system must be time-tested.
Holhaiya did not feel the aura of Originium skills on the arrow, and therefore underestimated its power. Fortunately, she listened to Kong's command and did not let her crystal shield come into direct contact with the arrow.
"Be careful, Doctor. This guy's Originium skills are very strange!"
"Haha, is there a possibility that it is not using Originium techniques at all?"
Although it was a rather dangerous situation, Kong was still able to find joy in the midst of adversity because of Holhaiya's warning. After all, he didn't expect that someone as wise as her would be kidnapped by experience and stereotypes.
"...Maybe." Miss Quetzalcoatl lost her composure for once, and then blamed all her anger on the bastard Xu Zu on the opposite side.
The gray smoke produced by the smoke bomb did not cause any ripples under the high-speed air flow, as if the smoke was firmly locked. The Trampler, who drew his bow again, could not see clearly what was happening in the smoke. He could only guess at Kong's approximate position and fire another arrow.
But this time its bow-drawing action was interrupted.
Eula, who was severely frightened, ran towards it with boundless anger and chillness. Her slender and plump body showed extremely terrifying explosive power. Her high-heeled boots made a pit with every step on the alloy floor. The distance of more than 20 meters was gone in a flash. Her champagne-colored eyes dragged out icy-blue ferocious light bands, as if seeing a coyote running under the moon. The posture of waving the greatsword was like a swan raising its neck from the water, proudly patrolling the reeds.
The more graceful her jumping posture is, the sharper the sword blade is. Her dance-like swordsmanship is not just for beauty, but also to allow her to maximize the strength of her waist and shoulder muscles to drag the sword and swing with its own weight.
The Trampler was four meters tall when standing up, but Eula easily jumped up to a position above its head and brought the greatsword down with a beautiful spinning posture like a high dive.
"Please beg for mercy!"
The imagined scene of the trampler's head and body being separated did not come true. Its raised bow arm blocked the sword that Eula chopped down with the help of her height and anger. Its whole body lowered and its hooves bent, but it finally endured it.
The legendary greatsword named Songlai cut through the shield and embedded itself into the bow arm, causing Eula's figure to pause.
The three pawns who followed the Trampler back to defense all raised their heads to pay attention to the woman who seemed to be the most threatening, but inevitably ignored the actions of Kong and Holhaiya.
Miss Quetzalcoatl, with a gloomy face, also raised her staff, summoning the largest storm yet - the Trampler, whose weight was comparable to that of a main battle tank, felt weak under his feet, without any support, and was lifted up into the air by the storm that had formed out of thin air beneath him, with the shield on his body flickering.
Every scrape of the Originium Technique made the armor on the horse's belly suffer, and the bow arm holding the Eula's greatsword also lost its strength.
"Qiang!!"
The guerrilla knight's two slender legs, with the resilience of his waist, thrust upward diagonally, and the sword embedded in the bow arm broke free from its clamp. As if violating the laws of physics, Eula rose up, passed the tramplers and the pawns, and spun down in a silver arc towards the Tamperer further behind!
"Bang!"
The opponent had never expected that Eula could perform such an inhumane and imaginative gymnastics move, and was unable to dodge.
The reason why the greatsword is called a greatsword is because its efficiency in using weight to bluntly strike the enemy is sometimes higher than its cutting ability. The Tamperer's body was smashed into a heap by this ultimate blunt attack technique - while the shield shattered, its half-broken head and neck all sank into its spine, and then Eula, who had landed on the ground, still felt unsatisfied, and dragged the sword that was stuck in its middle ribs, turned around a full circle, and threw its body towards the virtual soldiers who had just turned around to provide support.
Being hit hard on the waist by their "commander", these pawns flew backwards. When they came to their senses, Eula had already entered the charging posture again, rushing towards the Trampler who had just fallen to the ground after being blown away by Holhaya.
Only at this moment did they realize that the seemingly delicate woman in front of them was no match for them, but the only idiot in command had just been successfully beheaded.
"Bang!!"
The moment the virtual soldiers stood up, the green magic flying from not far away blasted them down one after another. The continuous wind bombs pressed them down so that they could not even raise their heads, as if they were hit continuously by heavy hammers, and their heads were dizzy.
In order to prevent the virtual soldiers from interfering with Eula who was dancing again, Holhaiya rushed into the front line of the battlefield clutching her staff. As a warlock, this behavior seemed quite unwise, but she thought it through thoroughly. The guy in charge of tactical guidance on the other side was dead, but her side was short of manpower, and there was also an extremely tanky creature on the opposite side dragging Eula. At this time, if she wanted to prevent the enemy from being able to deal with the doctor, she had to act as a bait or take the risk of clearing out the chaos.
It had nothing to do with the job difference between a guard and a warlock, or the slight unpleasantness in her relationship with Eula; she just wanted to protect the Doctor.
The pawn that was blown away by the wind bomb did not attract Eula's attention, even though Holhaiya did not report the purpose of the cover.
The women who could catch Kong's eye were not simple characters, and she was sure that the fat snake could take care of its flanks.
"Don't rush forward so far!" Eula didn't care how Holhaiya acted, but one man was anxious.
"It's okay, Doctor. If I die in battle unexpectedly, you will regret it for the rest of your life. Doesn't that sound more interesting than chasing you desperately?"
Holhaiya once again showed an extremely healthy smile, as if she had already seen the scene of the doctor crying in front of her black and white photo frame, and her snake tongue trembled with joy.
This crazy woman - Kong sighed in his heart, but his hands did not slow down:
"Keep your distance and be careful with your covering fire!!"
Kong, who had crashed out of the smoke, was holding the AK. He flicked the safety and suddenly stopped in the middle of the passage. Then he squatted down and began his unique burst shooting as if he was taking a bowel movement.
He didn't know whether sudden stop and crouching shooting could reduce the deviation of the rifle's trajectory in this world, but it was a habit. This instinct would be activated the moment he picked up the AK, and even if he changed his body, the instinct would not diminish.
So each of the virtual soldiers who had just climbed up was rewarded with a peanut bullet. The 7.62 bullet should not have been able to penetrate their shields, but under Holhaya's repeated bombardment of secret techniques, their shields had long been fragile, and they were actually hit by the empty bursts of fire, causing their heads to tilt back.
I got so angry that I saw a primitive man hitting me with an antique from the 20th century.
Their masks can make them immune to energy weapons to a certain extent, but they are not made of a material that can completely absorb concentrated impact force. After all, it is difficult for protective gear that is protected against slashing and blunt weapons to be bulletproof. Similarly, bulletproof gear is not necessarily bulletproof against stabbing and slashing. Kong never expected that he could kill these three virtual soldiers with three headshots after raising his hand.
"……Eh?"
Miss Quetzalcoatl, who was about to make a finishing blow to the Void Soldier, lowered her head, only to find that the mask of the Void Soldier that was hit by the Doctor was completely shattered. He fell to the ground without a sound, and his body slowly began to collapse.
"...Really? You didn't even give me a chance to develop my emotions." Having lost the best opportunity to perform, Holhaiya sighed again.
"Stop talking nonsense and go kill that centaur!" Kong was well aware of Holhaiya's bad taste and did not give her the chance to continue nagging.
While Holhaiya was turning the staff, Eula had already managed to step on the knees of the Trampler and move upwards before he could regain his balance. He held the greatsword horizontally and stabbed it into the opponent's throat with all his strength like a spear.
"呲-"
There was a sound like a gas leak, and the Trampler was not killed in one blow. Its counter-intuitive weak spot allowed it to catch its breath briefly.
The shield that was broken by Holhaiya became effective again, repelling Eula and her sword.
"Crack!" The whole team was wiped out and only it was left, which made it extremely angry. It raised its hind legs and was about to kick the staggering Eula away.
But with a burst of gunfire, more than a dozen bullet holes appeared on his horse's buttocks in an instant, and the hoof that had just been raised was pushed back by the impact and fell forward.
Kong simply utilized the essence of the 30-round kneeling technique to the extreme and poured all the remaining ammunition in the magazine into the horse's butt, making it completely impossible for the opponent to chase him.
"Damn it, in a world that has developed to the stage of interstellar travel, firearms can still be so useful...Reload! Cover me!"
Not only Xu Zu was shocked, Kong also felt it was quite strange, because he had not yet analyzed what kind of protection mechanism Xu Zu's shield had - but judging from the effect of the ammunition hitting it just now, that super-hard shield could only filter out a part of the kinetic energy of the ammunition, but it was not immune, including its funny body armor, which was surprisingly fragile in front of traditional bullets.
The Trampler with its back turned quickly paid the price for its action. After reorganizing herself, Eula took advantage of the opportunity when Kong was shooting to fly onto the horse's back again. Her body was completely blocked by the shield, and her hands mercilessly cut towards the junction of the opponent's human body and the horse's lower body.
There was no dramatic reversal this time. The greatsword almost completely cut the monster's waist, and the antimatter energy surging in it could be seen. The centaur-sized Trampler wailed, threw away the giant bow with his arms, and tried to turn around and scratch Eula, but after Eula kicked the spine of his sword again, driving the sword deeper into the wound, this guy's arm went limp, and he remained kneeling on his horse and walked on the road to destruction himself.
"Huh, huh."
Eula's shoulders were still shaking slightly. Although the battle just now was not long, it was still a test of her physical strength. When she drew out the sword and looked back at Kong and Holhaiya, the surprise attack that almost resulted in an accident was finally over.
