Chapter 267: Encircled by Friendly Forces
When they saw the coffin, Russell and Wen Jing didn't expect that anything could survive that kind of attack just now.
Russell walked into the car, carefully examined the transparent coffin, and then tore off the damaged data cable and dragged it out.
"It looks like we caught a big fish."
Wen Jing muttered to herself at this moment.
The two men gathered around the coffin and found a man lying inside with his eyes closed.
To be on the safe side, they did not open the coffin.
Russell and Wen Jing are not the protagonists in horror movies who are seeking death. If there is really something wrong with the things in the coffin, wouldn't they be asking for trouble if they opened it?
After looking at it for a while, Russell asked the ghost soldiers to put it away and prepared to hand it back to Kuang Shouzheng to give the scientific researchers of the Northern Defense Army a headache.
While they were studying the coffin, the corpses of the demons present had already been collected by the ghost soldiers.
Xiao Wu respectfully handed a bright red bead to Russell: "Sir, this is Yale's body."
Russell looked at the round bead in his hand and muttered, "This looks so good that it could be used as a golden finger for the protagonist in a fantasy novel."
As he spoke, he used his mental power to condense a piece of material, and then crushed the bead in his hand.
Emerald Grade [Scarlet Overlord] (Red).
Although Russell knew that Yale would probably condense blood-related materials when he fought with him, he was still stunned when he saw the [Scarlet Overlord] in his hand.
There is no other reason, it's just that this card is too compatible with the card he currently holds.
"Sister Wen, I need this material. When the battle points are settled, I will transfer 12,000 points to you?"
After putting away the materials, Russell turned around and began to discuss the distribution of the spoils with Wen Jing.
Wen Jing waved her hand and said, "You killed all those monsters. If you want them, just take them."
But after hearing Wen Jing's words, Russell was not prepared to do so.
He knew that if Wen Jing hadn't held back the other two demon army cadres, he would have no chance of killing Yale.
So after thinking for a moment, he said, "Well, the rest of the materials will be yours, Sister Wen."
In addition to the three Emerald-level demon army cadres, the convoy also had low-level demons, but they were turned into demons by Yale at the beginning of the battle.
Hearing what Russell said, Wen Jing glanced at the low-level demon corpses piled up by the ghost soldiers and roughly estimated their value: "Okay, let's do this."
The total value of these low-level materials is about 13,000 points. Taking into account the transaction fees and the like, the total value is not much different from 12,000 points.
Russell felt relieved when he saw that the short-haired woman agreed to his proposal.
Although Wen Jing had been acting a little weird before, she was still very straightforward about this kind of thing, otherwise she wouldn't have suggested that he take the materials dropped by Yale directly.
After the division of the spoils was completed, Wen Jing immediately grabbed Russell's arm, and then the two of them disappeared out of thin air.
Early in the morning, Russell opened his eyes in his residence in Jizhou Town.
Now some time has passed since he and Wen Jing completed the interception mission.
After the two of them returned to Jizhou Town and submitted the materials that day, Kuang Shouzheng didn't say much. Obviously, since he was not a scientific researcher, he couldn't see anything special about the things in the coffin.
Afterwards, other teams also returned to the city one after another, but most of them returned with injuries, and not many teams were able to obtain the experimental materials of the demon army.
Of course the main reason was that most of the experimental materials were destroyed in the battle between the team and the demon army.
Some were caused by the aftermath of battle, and some were destroyed by the demon army themselves.
It is worth mentioning that the merit points for the previous city defense battle have been distributed. Since Xiao Wu killed two emerald-level monsters, he also obtained 20,000 points.
Looking at his 23860 points balance, Russell touched his chin and asked, "Should I upgrade Xiao Wu first?"
Then he opened the points platform.
only.
"[Dark-winged Bat Demon], 25990 points?"
"Why don't you go and grab it?"
Russell silently read through a piece of material that made him very excited.
However, the next few more suitable materials he found cost at least 24000 points, which made him give up the idea of upgrading Xiao Wu.
"Forget it, let's talk about it later."
Turning off the phone screen, Russell sighed softly.
Now he was not in a hurry to convert Xiao Wu into [No. 4], after all, there was no emergency.
If it was before he made the Holy Blade Belt, he might have borrowed some points from his senior sister, but now that he has the ability to protect himself, it is not so urgent.
Putting aside the matter of upgrading Xiaowu, Russell moved a snow-white thigh away from his belly.
Standing up, he looked at Fulilian who was sleeping in a very bad posture on the bed and couldn't help but sigh.
Without waking up the sleepy white-haired old woman, Russell turned and went into the bathroom to wash up.
At this time, Fubuki, who was wearing loose lace pajamas in the bathroom, was also washing up.
Seeing Russell, a toothbrush immediately floated in front of him.
It must be said that telekinesis is indeed convenient. For example, Russell doesn’t have to do daily washing himself.
"Gulu. Gulu, remember to wake Fulilian up for breakfast later."
A moment later, the young man finished washing up and came to the restaurant, where he found Unohana Retsu preparing breakfast.
Luo Su hugged her soft waist from behind and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work, Sister Lie."
"It's not as hard as yours."
Feeling his hands being patted, Russell loosened his waist awkwardly.
He also had no idea whether the gentle beauty was being sincere or just being weird.
Walking out of the kitchen, Lily was sitting at the dining table with a solemn expression on her face, as if there would be a tough battle ahead.
Maybe it was indeed a tough battle for Lily.
"Would you like to eat something to cushion your appetite first?"
Russell took some bread stored in the Shadow Kingdom and handed it to the petite girl.
Seeing the bread, Lily's eyes lit up: "Thanks, Russell."
Then she took the bread and started chewing it like a hamster.
"Ah, Russell, you are so partial. I want Spider-Man too~"
Russell shuddered at the extremely disgusting words and took out some bread again and threw it to Spider-Man who was also waiting for dinner.
When I came to the living room, Misaka Mikoto was playing video games with Nel.
At this moment, an enchanting figure suddenly appeared in the shadow behind Russell, making him feel cold all over.
It is great tolerance.
"Stop it, there are children here."
Russell's old face turned red and he slapped away the white palm underneath.
Nami, who was watching TV nearby, rolled her eyes at this and said, "It started in broad daylight."
Blade Heart folded his arms across his chest: "You are just jealous of the bond between me and my Lord."
Hearing this, a “#” appeared on Nami’s forehead, and she confronted Bladeheart on the spot: “What did you say?!”
Russell couldn't help but lower his presence. He didn't want to get involved in the women's war.
At this time, Misaka Mikoto, who was facing away from Russell, had her fair ears turned extremely red.
Apparently, what just happened was too exciting for her, a middle school student. Russell, another disastrous day began.
Under the cover of night, a huge city is moving slowly.
In the camp in the center of the city, many card makers were standing densely.
Someone said solemnly: "Thank you all for your help this time."
The person who spoke was Xiong Ye, the commander-in-chief of Ningyuan City.
About a month or two ago, the top brass of the Northern Defense Army issued an order to retreat to Ningyuan City and Jinzhou City.
The two towns that received the order immediately began to prepare, but unfortunately in this world they had no way to abandon the city.
You have to know that building each important border town like theirs requires countless efforts from the card makers, and it is definitely impossible for them to stay where they are and give the demon army an advantage.
Fortunately, all important border towns have mobile capabilities.
This time, the target of Ningyuan City and Jinzhou City is Shanhaiguan.
When the operation is over, the two cities will be transformed into satellite cities of Shanhaiguan to guard the front.
Russell's senior brother Zhang Jingxing was also in the tent.
Hearing Xiong Ye's words, he just smiled and said, "Commander Xiong is too polite. We are just doing our job."
As he spoke, he sighed with some worry: "But I always feel that this time it is too smooth. Up to now, the demon army has not made any movement."
Hearing this, everyone present fell silent.
Zhang Jingxing's worries were not unreasonable. After all, the reason why Ningyuan City and Jinzhou City retreated was because the nearby demon army was becoming more and more rampant.
But this time the Northern Defense Army really retreated its defense line, and the demon army became quiet.
At this moment, a trace of worry flashed across Xiong Ye's eyes, and then he pretended to laugh cheerfully and said, "Who knows, maybe those demon soldiers are tinkering with some demonization experiment and have no time to take care of us."
"Please don't think too much about it."
Thinking of the news that the master ahead had passed on to them not long ago, Zhang Jingxing temporarily put aside his doubts and sighed softly: "I hope so."
"By the way, when was the last time Jinzhou City contacted us?"
"Something serious has happened."
In Jizhou Town, Russell had just finished his shift when he was visited by Wen Jing, who had a serious face.
He rarely saw the other person show this expression.
So he couldn't help but become serious: "What's wrong?"
Wen Jing just pursed her lips and said, "Let's go in and talk."
As he said this, he pushed Russell into the house.
The confused young man brought the short-haired woman to the living room. At the same time, the ghost soldier placed a cup of hot tea in front of them.
But Wen Jing couldn't take time to drink tea at this time: "Jinzhou and Ningyuan are surrounded by the demon army."
The fewer words, the bigger the matter.
Russell was shocked by the news for a moment, but he immediately thought that his senior brother Zhang Jingxing’s mission was to support these two cities.
He calmed down and uttered two words calmly: "Tell me in detail."
Wen Jing shook her head and said quickly, "I'm not very clear about the specific situation. Lord Kuang only said that Jinzhou and Ningyuan were surrounded and we need to send more people to help."
"It's just that because Lord Zhang has already taken a group of people away, I don't think we can send many people this time."
Russell was silent.
He knew that Kuang Shouzheng's decision was correct.
If Jizhou Town sent the same number of people as last time, there would probably be one more city under siege.
"Sister Wen, you came to see me. I guess we two were chosen, right?"
Hearing this, Wen Jing's expression was a little strange at first, and then she laughed strangely: "Lord Kuang seems to be interested in our previous mosquito tactics, so he specifically asked the two of us to go."
"But this time, we will support them as a team, with the goal of harassing the demon army."
"When the time is right, the card makers in the two cities will naturally cooperate with us."
Russell nodded slightly when he heard this.
This time, among the support from Jizhou Town, there is no master-level card maker, not even a diamond-level one.
Under such circumstances, it was naturally impossible for them to engage in a head-on confrontation with the demon army. Instead, guerrilla tactics were more suitable for their two-person teams.
"I see. When do we leave?"
"Master Kuang means the sooner the better."
"it is good."
"boom!"
A pale green column of spiritual light penetrated the sky and the earth.
On the walls of Ningyuan City, many card makers looked at the earth-shaking movements in the demon army’s positions in the distance with strange expressions.
Since the past few days, they have discovered that there have been card makers harassing the demon army, and they quickly realized that it must be a team of card makers sent by the surrounding cities.
But it is obvious that there are also gaps between the card maker teams.
The biggest commotion was caused by a fierce unknown team that just came to the demon army.
In the past few days, the demon army’s positions were bombed almost every one or two hours. Although it did not cause many casualties, it was really annoying.
Not to mention the demon army, even their city was affected.
Some low-level card makers are unable to enter meditation under such circumstances.
Since Zhang Jingxing had never seen Xiao Wu take action, he naturally didn't know that this was actually Russell's work.
Looking at the motionless demon army in the distance, Xiong Ye couldn't help but mutter a few words. "How come this group of demon army is just like turtles."
If he were one of those demon soldiers, he would have been unable to bear it. With firecrackers being set off in his ears every day, he would have rushed out to find that unknown card maker long ago.
then
Then the card makers in Ningyuan City can launch a counterattack.
At this time, extremely far away from Ningyuan City, Russell and Wen Jing were secretly observing the demon army's positions.
To be on the safe side, Russell directly let Xiao Wu release the Thunder Spear at the farthest distance. After all, the demon army's position was so large that there was no worry about missing the target.
"Can you bear it so well?"
Looking at the demon army that was motionless, Wen Jing couldn't help but complain.
But Russell's expression was somewhat serious: "We probably won't be able to use this tactic many times."
"I think the demon army is waiting for us to let our guard down before dealing with us."
Wen Jing was stunned for a moment, then nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "I thought so too."
Hearing this, Russell looked at the repeater beside him speechlessly.
"Let's go, Sister Wen. Let's go back to Shanhaiguan to rest up, and then we can give them some tough treatment."
"I hope my brothers can seize the opportunity."
