Chapter 640 Death Battlefield
I still remember that in [Utopia], Luo Jun learned from Ophelia that there was a cardinal who was suspected to be infected by chaotic creatures. The name of the cardinal was Gonzalez!
He looks to be less than 40 years old. Has he become a cardinal at such a young age?

"Before the mission description appears, let's get to know each other first." Gonzalez took the lead naturally without noticing Luo Jun's scrutiny: "My name is Gonzalez, I'm a bishop in the Holy See and a professor at the Holy See Central Academy, an elementalist." He pointed to Taim and Elena beside him: "These two should be familiar to those who pay attention to the international exchange competition. Elena, the representative from the Federation, and Taim from the Exile Land, are both young people who have achieved excellent results in the exchange competition."

Just an ordinary bishop? Luo Jun's eyebrows twitched slightly. It seemed that they were not the same person, but just had the same name?

The other three also began to introduce themselves.

The fat uncle with a beard said, "My name is Hansen, and I'm a fighter! As you can tell from my body shape, my flexibility is a little lacking, but my strength is definitely unmatched." As he spoke, he took out a large shield and stood on the ground. A huge protective shield extended from the edge of the shield. "If we have a team battle, I can stand in the front row to protect everyone!"

A woman in her fifties with an elegant temperament raised her head and said, "My name is Diana, and I am a manipulator."

The last person, a tall and thin man with a mustache, said, "My name is Ivanka. I'm a creator, and I'm especially good at creating mechanical objects."

After everyone else had finished introducing themselves, everyone looked at Luo Jun, the only pure oriental face.

"I..." Luo Jun was considering whether to make up an identity, but Elena suddenly interrupted him, "You are Luo Jun, right? A student of Aurora Ningdong College, the one who solved the endless maze?"

Luo Junwai was slightly stunned: "Do you know me?"

To be honest, he had killed Elena once after all, and he felt somewhat guilty when his identity was revealed by the other party.

"The elders in my family were also trapped in the endless maze and were very concerned about you." Elena nodded and said, "I also went to Aurora for academic exchanges not long ago. When I arrived in Ningdong, I wanted to meet you, but unfortunately you were not there at that time."

"Oh, what a pity that I missed the invitation from the beautiful lady." Luo Jun said with a smile.

"It's not too late to meet now." Elena smiled and said, "I heard that you participated in calming down a [supernatural] incident before? You even killed a peak person?"

After hearing what Elena said, the others looked at Luo Jun differently. Although they were in a foreign country, they had heard of Luo Jun's deeds.

Being too famous is indeed troublesome... Luo Jun smiled and waved his hand: "It's just good luck, not worth mentioning."

As they were talking, the ground beneath their feet began to shake, and then rows of words appeared.

Main Quest: Death Front

Mission time limit: 18 days
Mission Type: Cooperative Survival

Mission level: Class A

Mission description: The mission lasts for six hours per round. After each round of challenge begins, a large number of monsters will continue to appear from around the venue and attack the contestants frantically until one hour before the end of this round. All the monsters still alive on the field will disappear and turn into a curse energy. When the next round begins, a random negative curse effect will be imposed on all challengers. The more monsters are left, the stronger the curse effect will be. The negative effect will last until the next round when the monsters disappear.

The task consists of six rounds in a cycle, with a total of seventy-two rounds and twelve cycles. After each round of challenge is passed, each challenger will receive a hexagram of the current cycle number, which can be used to redeem the reward in the end.

One hour between two rounds of challenges, an escape passage will be opened in the center of the venue. Challengers can choose to escape from it and leave this mission. All hexagrams obtained in this mission will be cleared.

At the end of the last round of each cycle, the escape channel will be replaced by the glory channel. By leaving the mission through the glory channel, you can keep the hexagram you have obtained so far.

Side quest: Kill the boss
In the last round of monsters in each cycle, a leader will appear. If you successfully kill the leader, you can get an extra hexagram.

Tip 1: In this task, all rewards are paid in the form of hexagrams. When you leave the Glory Channel, you will enter treasure houses of different levels according to the number of cycles you have passed, and use hexagrams to exchange for the rewards you want.

Tip 2: After each round of challenge, supplies will appear in the center of the venue, including food, drinking water, ammunition, medicine, and elixirs to replenish vitality, etc. The effectiveness of the supplies is at most equivalent to that of an excellent-level treasure. Please carefully choose whether to continue the challenge based on your current status.

Tip 3: Challengers can only choose to enter the escape channel or the glory channel voluntarily. If they are forced by external forces or enter accidentally, they can choose to return to the venue. If they are blocked by others and cannot approach the escape channel or the glory channel, they can also choose to move to the channel immediately and leave. Those who force or block others from entering the channel will have all the rewards they have obtained cleared and enter the death process.

Tip 4: Challengers can cause damage to each other, but if they kill other challengers, all rewards they have obtained will be cleared and they will enter the death process.

Death during a mission is considered true death.

The first round of challenges will start in ten minutes, please be prepared!
Note: In the next round, you will get more rewards. Do you want to continue the challenge? Young man!
………………

The rules of the mission are simple and crude, just a series of survival challenges. But it can be seen that the difficulty is not low.

"A round lasts six hours, with only one hour of rest between each round?" Diana frowned. Judging from his temperament, he was obviously a lady who paid great attention to maintenance and was somewhat resistant to such high-intensity combat.

"It's not easy." Elena analyzed, "You can only rest for four hours a day, and the rest of the time you're fighting. This is a huge test of your physical strength and energy. What's more terrible is that if you don't clear the monsters, you'll receive a negative curse in the next round. Although it's not explicitly stated in the mission, it's common sense that the monsters will definitely become stronger and stronger. The monsters will become stronger and stronger, and it will become more and more difficult to clear them. The curse will also become stronger and stronger. If we can't control it, we will fail like an avalanche."

"It's almost certain that the monsters can't be cleared out completely." Teacher Gonzalez said, "The rules say that monsters will continue to appear, which means that new monsters may continue to appear at the last second. We don't know whether the monsters have fixed birth points or how many there are. With such a large venue, we definitely can't take care of all the birth points in an instant. That is to say, after the first round, we will start fighting with the curse on our backs."

"It's just a matter of how much you have to carry..." Ivanka stroked her mustache, took out a rapier from her treasure box and held it in front of her chest: "At least we have to survive the first cycle..."

"At least, the rewards this time look generous." Diana said, "This is the first time I've seen someone who can choose their own rewards."

"Generous rewards, of course, come with higher difficulty." Elena was not optimistic and was busy debugging weapons.

Seeing this, the others also started to prepare, taking out their treasures one by one, accumulating strength, and preparing their abilities. Only Luo Jun stood in the middle of the venue and did not make any moves.

"By the way, I still don't know what your abilities are?" Gonzalez's treasure is a staff that looks like it's made of wood. Although he didn't check the information, Luo Jun could already feel that it was not an ordinary item.

"During the academic exchange, I heard your classmates mention that you are an elementalist." Elena walked up and said, "Which department are you good at?" "Actually, I'm not good at any of them..." Luo Jun scratched his head: "Actually, I have a secret that I haven't told you. I just failed to break through. Now I'm in a closed state and can't use my vitality..."

"What?!" When they heard this, they were all shocked and looked at Luo Jun in amazement.

"Impossible!" Hansen said in a muffled voice, holding a large axe in one hand and a large shield in the other. "You won't be recruited for a Chaos mission if you're in a closed state!"

"It's normal. Maybe there's a bug. That's why I'm panicking..." Luo Jun spread his hands. "I was stunned when I first received the call-up notice, but there's nothing I can do. Since they've called me here, I have to participate no matter what."

"Is there such a thing?" Gonzalez stepped forward and grabbed Luo Jun's arm. After sensing it for a moment, he frowned and said, "His body is really empty, and there is no sign of vital energy flowing..."

When the others heard this, their faces became serious.

Luo Jun took his hand back and said helplessly: "I didn't lie..."

In fact, he still had a lot of vitality in his body, but it was like a pool of stagnant water, unable to flow. And even though he had a lot of dead vitality, compared to the huge capacity of his body after it became holy, this amount of vitality couldn't even fill the bottom. Others' detection was not so accurate, and it looked like it was empty.

"It doesn't matter..." Taim said, "Just pretend he doesn't exist."

As he said that, he looked at Luo Jun and said, "After the first round is over, you can leave."

"That's all we can do. Let's just assume that there are only six of us on this mission."

The others sighed and could only accept their fate.

Of course Luo Jun had no intention of taking any action. He just kept paddling along. The more difficult the mission was, the sooner others would withdraw from the mission, and the more time would be left for him.

Ten minutes passed in a flash, and everyone stood in the center of the venue, ready with their treasures and abilities, ready for battle.

Finally, as the countdown ended, the first round of monsters began to appear from around the venue.

"Ah!!" Following miserable and hoarse howls, figures with rotten skin and staggering steps walked into the venue.

Zombies?

Seeing this first round of monsters, everyone's expressions were mixed.

The good news is that from the first round, the monsters are not very strong. After all, zombies are just small monsters in level C or even level D missions. Although this is only the first round, the zombies are the first to come, which means that at least in the first cycle, it will not be a problem to survive.

As for worry... it was because they discovered that these zombies did not have a fixed birth point. At the moment the countdown ended, they seemed to grow out of the surrounding white walls, with no blind spots in 360 degrees, and were everywhere!
In this case, the tactic of blocking the birth point will definitely not work.

Seeing the zombies approaching slowly, the challengers were not in a hurry to fight. After all, there were still five hours left, so they could take a break while these guys were walking slowly!
Finally, the first batch of zombies came within a hundred meters, and everyone finally started to move.

Except for Luo Jun, almost all of them took out firearms.

Firearms are very common. When it comes to Class A missions, almost everyone has one. Moreover, the vast majority of firearms have ammunition replenishment functions. Some have unlimited ammunition for a period of time after activating the special effects, some can consume vitality to refill the magazine, and some are simply simple and crude, with a passive attribute of unlimited ammunition.

When facing low-end monsters like zombies, using abilities is a waste of energy, so standing still and pulling the trigger is the first choice.

Moreover, the weapons they took out were all blue sky, white clouds and green grass. The weapons were of low grade, so the consumption was naturally low when the special effects were activated. For example, Hansen's submachine gun had a magazine with fifty rounds of bullets. Its grade was the lowest ordinary grade, and it only had two special effects. One was that the barrel could be repaired slowly and automatically, and the second was that it could fill the magazine by consuming one breath of energy.

It can be said that apart from its endurance, this is just an ordinary conventional weapon, but it can be said to be tailor-made for dealing with monsters like zombies.

Under the crossfire, the approaching zombies kept falling down. With the accuracy of the cultivators, it was not difficult to shoot the zombies in the head within a hundred meters. Even if they missed the head, they could easily tear the rotten flesh apart by hitting the torso or limbs, making them lose their combat effectiveness. And these fallen corpses also blocked the steps of the zombies that came later, causing them to fall to the ground.

Judging from the frequency of the zombies' appearance, the so-called endless stream is not as exaggerated as imagined. At least with their six guns, they can suppress the zombies within a range of fifty to one hundred meters. In this way, with the continuous gunfire, the five-hour limit is about to expire.

At this time, several people looked at each other and finally put down their guns.

In the past few hours, they only suppressed it, but did not completely clean it up. The radius of the site was more than 500 meters, and they only cleaned up the area of ​​100 meters in the middle. The outer area was a sea of ​​corpses. At a glance, there were probably tens of thousands of them. If these zombies died collectively at the last moment and turned into a curse, who knows how powerful they would be!

"Do it!"

Gonzalez rushed out first: "Leave this to me!" As he said that, he nimbly rushed into the zombie group, and with a few leaps, he arrived at the area where the zombies were most densely packed. Seeing the zombies around him howling and rushing towards him, Gonzalez put his palms together, stimulated his vitality, and then pressed them on the ground. Suddenly, a circle of fire spread rapidly around him with him as the center!

The power of the flame was not great, but these corrupt zombies could be ignited at the slightest touch. Wherever they passed, each zombie turned into a moving torch, instantly destroying thousands of zombies!
On the other side, the creative Ivanka also rushed into the area where the zombies were most densely populated. However, he was followed by four robots holding two long swords and with a unicycle in the lower body. These guys revolved around him and waved their blades. Wherever they passed, the zombies were beheaded. Although their killing efficiency was not as good as Gonzalez, they were also reaping steadily.

Not far from him, Diana's fighting style was similar. As a controller, she even omitted the robot's body and directly controlled a dozen flying knives, making the harvesting efficiency even faster.

At the same time, the condition on Elena's side was a bit weird. She was seen walking among the zombies without any movement. Wherever she passed, the zombies around her fell to the ground and rotted, dried up and broke. Those that were farther away also had broken arms and legs, with large chunks of rotten flesh hanging from their bodies.

It was the halo of corruption. Elena was proficient in the abilities of the spellcasting school and used the halo to speed up the decay of the zombies, causing their already vulnerable bodies to disintegrate even faster.

In comparison, Hansen and Taim were at a disadvantage. They lacked the ability to cause damage in a large area. Rather than attacking one by one, it was more practical to use guns...

Watching his teammates working hard, Luo Jun, who was doing nothing in the middle of the field, was thinking of an evil idea...
