Chapter 112: The Forgotten War Criminal - Moon Ghost

The Mayan Pyramid has the most complex branching routes in the Metal Slug series, and there are additional branching routes within the branching routes, which is in line with what a maze should look like.

There are four major route branches:

The outer wall of the pyramid needs to face a large number of mutated creatures.

When you go from the outer wall of the pyramid to the inside of the pyramid, you will face a large number of mummified creatures.

When you go from the underground level of the pyramid to a deeper wormhole, you will have to face mutant creatures and mutant bugs.

Then there is the special entrance that now appears in front of Cheng Tian. The enemies in the area connected to this entrance are the real third force in this area, a group called "Moon Ghosts".

“I’m going to go this route.”

Cheng Tian pointed to the entrance with a huge sign saying "Entrance" and spoke to his teammates very seriously.

Although Cheng Tian has the actual command of the team, this is the first time that he has expressed his demands so strongly. This also makes Uncle Xue and others curious about how complete the information Cheng Tian has. He even bet on other people's mission area information.

Then something unexpected happened to Curry Singh.

Uncle Xue, Little P and Congmingtou gave up entering the wormhole without hesitation and decisively chose to follow Cheng Tian to take the Moon Ghost route.

"...Aren't you going to save people?"

Perhaps curiosity outweighed fear, Curry Singh still asked even when surrounded by zombies.

Then what he got in return was the look Cheng Tian and the others gave him as a weirdo.

Then Uncle Xue, who was in charge of external communications, took the initiative to speak.

"Our mission isn't to rescue anyone, but to complete the mission your suppressed team was supposed to complete. If it's convenient, it doesn't matter if we rescue them, and..."

Having said this, the uncle paused and exchanged glances with the people around him.

"Rather than risking our lives to rescue those stranger colleagues we've never met, we still feel it's safer and more efficient to act with our own people. After all, wherever the captain goes, I go."

Xiao P and Congmingtou kept nodding their heads. They also agreed with Uncle Xue's words from the bottom of their hearts.

The feeling of meeting compatible players in a queue is something only the players involved in the game know how comfortable it is. They even all have the urge to try to become regular players.

Captain Cheng laughed happily after hearing this. After all, the best configuration for playing games is a group of good teammates. Who knows what will happen in the future, but at least everyone is harmonious and happy in this game. What else is there to say?
"...Then why not split up the troops? I think Captain Cheng can take on an entire player squad by himself, right?"

Looking at this group of players in front of him whose interaction mode was completely opposite to his own scheming wild team, Curry Singh shouted this sentence, and a sour smell of jealousy also burst out.

But this is not Curry Singer praising Cheng Tian. At least from his perspective, Cheng Tian is a summoner that he cannot catch up with even if he tries his best.

In the Chosen Space, whether it is a driver or a summoner, they actually belong to the logistics position in terms of team positioning, and their status is far worse than the iron-clad positions such as tanks, healers, and output.

Especially for summoners, if they cannot contract a summoned unit with both growth potential and high combat effectiveness, the summon that needs to focus on charm attributes will become a breakthrough point for the team and can be easily targeted by the enemy.

This results in low-level summoners generally being mainly temporary summoned units, and the tasks they perform are mostly reconnaissance, meat shields, rear guard cannon fodder and the like.

Summoners like Curry Singh, who possessed a promising Onix early on and could learn Big Bang, were considered quite fortunate. With Onix alone, he could surpass 001% of his peers, even becoming the main attacker for many teams. This time, their random squad was able to completely suppress Peregrine and Sparrow, forcing them into a wormhole, thanks in large part to his Onix.

It's a pity that he was targeted by Comrade Xiao P who has niche expertise.

Precisely because he has a relatively deep understanding of his own level and positioning, Curry Singh is so jealous of Cheng, but he has to admit that he can't catch up with Cheng Tian even if he flatters him.

Not to mention owning both a War Mammoth and a Zombie Chariot, he'd even be willing to halve his Charisma stat just to get one of them! (Utan: What about me?)

But it was a good thing that he didn't say this, otherwise it would be Cheng Tian's turn to criticize him.

Whether it is the War Mammoth or the Zombie Chariot, in a sense, they are products that have surpassed the one-month trial version of the current copy. They are in a form that is close to complete and very powerful when they appear. They have no problem crushing the current copy, but in terms of growth potential, they are probably far inferior to a proper Pokémon.

"Split the troops?"

Hearing Curry Singh's question, Cheng Tian and his group almost repeated the word at the same time.

"Do you think we're the kind of idiots in a horror movie who would have everyone scatter and hide in separate rooms, waiting to be picked off one by one?"

Although Uncle Xue is a little older, he knows a lot and directly complained about the most critical point.

This incident is also recorded in great detail in "The Cabin in the Woods".

Then the Peregrine 004 team ignored the Curry Man who was stunned by the rhetoric, and lined up one by one to enter the entrance marked with the entrance.

This teleportation experience, which felt like being stuffed into a giant water slide in a water park, made Cheng Tian feel a sense of novelty. He guessed that Mario's water pipe felt the same way.

After a period of feeling weightless, Cheng Tian finally landed on solid ground again, but as soon as he landed, he noticed a problem with the feel of his feet.

It was a wooden board, the kind you'd usually see on a dilapidated little dock by the lake, the kind that had been eroded by time and creaked when you stepped on it.

With the light on his chest turned on, Cheng Tian saw the entrance of an ancient building that looked like a Japanese shrine, as well as stone lanterns built on both sides of the wooden bridge.

A considerable number of "paper money" are hung on the eaves of the entrance. They are zigzag paper money made of stacked white paper and hung on the imperial coins waved by Japanese shrine maidens. They are used to worship gods.

On the stone lantern, there are crescent moons engraved, which are close to the shape of a crescent moon, symbolizing the identity of the moon ghost inside.

At the same time, Cheng Tian's teammates also fell behind Cheng Tian one after another, making continuous noises, especially the Congmingtou who entered the map last. As soon as he landed, he smashed through the wooden bridge and fell into the icy underground river below.

However, this underground river is not deep, and the water flow cannot wash away the big guy Smarthead at all. Instead, it makes him feel quite comfortable after being exposed to the sun before.

This chaotic noise would be quite noisy even if it were heard outside, but now that it is heard in this underground cave, the echo will spread for a long time.

As expected, Cheng Tian and his friends' intrusion disturbed the Moon Ghost here, and even noisier sounds were heard from inside the Moon Gate.

Soon, the true face of the Moon Ghost was exposed in front of Cheng Tian and the others——

They were a group of Moon Ghost soldiers wearing military caps (slightly hatted), half-naked, wearing khaki shorts, with big swords on their waists, and shouting slogans like "Get on board!" and "Baga!"
