Devil's Doom Row

Chapter 150
For the idea of ​​a third party, Luo Ming has long been looking forward to it. Although strictly speaking he is a third party that should not appear in every mission world, this time it is different. This time, Luo Ming Don't plan to fight alone!

why?
Because the world of Starship Troopers 2 seems very simple, the task Luo Ming received was only to sign a contract at the cost of his soul. This is not the first time he has performed a task for this purpose. It is still not difficult for him, and not only him, but even the survivors' tasks this time are very simple. They are just asked to persist until the end of the story and escape with the heroine, which is also not difficult.

At first glance, the tasks accepted by neither Luo Ming nor the survivors are too difficult, but is it really the case?

You must know that Luo Ming has now been upgraded to a great demon, and his strength has also been greatly enhanced with the increase in level. Shouldn't the task difficulty increase accordingly?The same principle applies to the survivors. All the survivors who came to participate in the mission this time are level 2 survivors. They are all old survivors who have experienced several or even more than ten missions. Should their mission difficulty be so low?
The answer is naturally no!

Both Hell and Doomsday Residence actually have the same goal, which is to train survivors and demons through tasks, so that they can continue to grow in the tasks, so the stronger the strength, the more difficult the tasks performed, and this This task may be simple at first glance, but in Luo Ming's opinion, it is definitely the most difficult task he has ever experienced!
Why? !There seems to be nothing particularly dangerous about this mission from the story line to the plot characters! ?The main enemy in the world of Starship Troopers 2 is the Zerg. They look very powerful, but there are not many bugs in the plot. All the stories happen in the base with a small space, and there is no large-scale battle, so No matter how powerful the Zerg race is, they cannot threaten Luo Ming and the survivors, and the same is true for the characters in the plot. Although they are all fighters, no matter how strong they are, they are still ordinary people, not to mention threatening Luo Ming. Even compared to the survivors, they are not much stronger, and they cannot pose a threat!

Looking at it this way, it seems that there is no difficulty in this task from the task itself to the task goal. Why would Luo Ming define it as the most difficult task?

Because in Luo Ming's view, although the mission world itself is not too difficult, the seemingly simple mission goals given to the survivors by the Doomsday Residence and Silk Soul are extremely difficult to complete!
Yes, the difficulty of this mission is that Luo Ming and the survivors need to do this to complete their respective goals!
But don't be deceived by the simple statement of the mission goal. If you think about the deep meaning of the mission, you will understand that it is actually very difficult for them to complete their respective Tengwu, and the mission between Luo Ming and the survivors is still very difficult. There is a joint relationship for the first time!

Let’s take the survivors as an example first. The mission goal given by the doomsday residence is: persist until the spaceship to rescue the heroine arrives, and be rescued together with the heroine; at the same time, if the heroine can be rescued, an additional 800 doomsday will be rewarded. Points, save the remaining human soldiers, and reward 200 doomsday points for each person saved.

This goal is simple and clear, and it seems that it can be easily accomplished as long as you persist for a period of time, but after careful consideration, you will find that this is not the case in reality!Because the main storyline of Starship Troopers 2 is that human beings are constantly being controlled by new species of Zerg, and then there are fewer and fewer humans in the base, but more and more Zergs. In the end, only the hero and heroine who discovered this are left. The main line will definitely not change in the slightest because of the appearance of survivors, but will become more serious because of their appearance!The hero and heroine who were able to survive to the last moment in the story may not survive that time in the mission world!
Once this happens, especially if the heroine has an accident, then the survivors' mission will be considered a failure, and their result will only be one, and that is to be obliterated!

At the same time, there is a huge hidden danger, that is, since the Zerg can infect and control humans in the mission world, can they also infect and control survivors? !This question is too critical, if not, everything is easy to say, if it can, then the survivors will encounter an unimaginable crisis!
Just imagine what will happen once the Zerg infection takes control of the survivors?
And once this assumption is really established, how will Luo Ming carry out his mission? !
The task assigned by Silk Soul also seemed simple. To put it bluntly, it was to trade with the survivors, but if the survivors were all infected by the Zerg and died, how would he complete the task? !And just like the survivors, if Luo Ming can't complete the mission, then Luo Ming has only one ending, being obliterated!

Therefore, if the survivors want to successfully complete the task, they must find the source of infection as soon as possible, that is, those humans who entered the base after being controlled by the Zerg, and destroy them and the people infected by them in the shortest time after finding them Only in this way can we ensure the smooth completion of the mission and get the most additional rewards. What Luo Ming has to do this time is a little different from the past. He needs to ensure the safety of the survivors first. Only when they are safe can Luo Ming Find a suitable trading target to trade, and then complete your task.

There are so many hidden twists and turns in the seemingly simple mission, which Luo Ming has never encountered before, but he thought of it after he knew the plot and the mission objectives of the survivors. These!
It was also for this reason that he had the idea of ​​forming a third party with the survivors!

Because in this way, Luo Ming can firstly ensure that his mission can be successfully completed and the transaction target is obtained. At the same time, he can use these survivors who are allies with him to observe other people in depth, and rely on them to monitor other survivors. Not only can he get Intelligence can also determine who can be traded in the first place, and those enemies who are infected by the Zerg make the task more smooth.

Of course, Luo Ming will not randomly choose survivors to cooperate with him. The person who cooperates with him must be reliable and trustworthy, and he must be [-]% sure that he will not be controlled by the Zerg, otherwise Luo Ming would rather be short than indiscriminate!

And Birch is such a person! !
First, he once traded with Luo Ming. To be honest, with Luo Ming's usual ruthless tactics, there are really not many people who can survive after trading with him, and what is even more valuable is that Birch still believes in it so far. Luo Ming!This is simply a strange thing. Although Birch knew that Luo Ming was a devil and knew that he would pay a heavy price for his help, he always had an inexplicable trust in him, and he never even thought that he would kill him!This is simply too rare, among all the people who have traded with Luo Ming, Birch is the only one who is still so innocent and romantic!

To sum up, Birch is both reliable and worthy of Luo Ming's trust, and he has been with Luo Ming almost from the beginning of the mission until now, so he can absolutely guarantee that he will not be infected and controlled by the Zerg, and there is a person beside him Aini, this silly girl may be a complete burden in Luo Ming's eyes, but she not only has a good soul quality and low danger, but she can also be used as a handle to control Birch!
God!Apart from Birch and Aini, Luo Ming couldn't think of a third person who would be more suitable to form a third party with him in this mission world!
So when Birch entered the base safely, he decisively reached an alliance with him!

"What do you think? How about the two of us working together to complete this mission?"

Because this time he was going to cooperate with Birch, Luo Ming also lowered his posture a little when talking to him, at least he didn't scare Birch anymore, and when he heard his proposal, Birch turned away without even thinking. Nodded hard!
In his opinion, it would be a great thing if he could cooperate with Luo Ming. In Birch's heart, Luo Ming is an extremely mysterious and unfathomable existence. There is nothing he cannot accomplish. Cooperation, then not only will this mission be guaranteed, but also his and Aini's safety will be safe!
"Okay! Okay! Mr. Luo Ming, what do you think?!"

Although there was no way to express all the joy on his face, Birch was still excited and said to Luo Ming in his heart. He was even afraid of his repentance and finally added: "Mr. Luo Ming, do we need to sign a contract? Can!"

Hearing this, Luo Ming almost laughed out loud. He suddenly felt that he liked Birch a little bit. This guy may not have much strength and ability, but he is indeed very sensible. Originally, Luo Ming didn't want to trade with Birch now. After all, in his plan, Birch may be used in many places in this mission, so no matter how you say it, you have to give some sweetness first, but I didn't expect this guy to propose it himself!

However, even though Birch sent himself to the mouth of the devil, Luo Ming still didn't waver because of a little profit. He knew that he might really need Birch this time, and he couldn't make a small loss out of a big one, so soon Burch Qi heard his laughter:
"Birch, don't worry, our relationship this time is not about trading, but about helping each other, so there is no need to trade, and I will keep you safe."

"Thank you, thank you!" These words reached Birch's ears and made him even happier: "Mr. Luo Ming, tell me, as long as I can do it, I will do it!"

"Don't worry, I will find you when the time comes. If you want to find me, just call me in your heart at any time. Now you can rest first."

Because Birch and Aini left the mark of the devil on Birch and Aini when they decided to accept this mission, so whether it is Birch or Luo Ming, they can contact each other as long as they want to, and there is no problem in communication.

And after confirming this matter, just as Luo Ming was about to leave, Birch's voice appeared in his heart!

"Mr. Luo Ming! Mr. Luo Ming!"

"Anything else?"

"You...you...can you protect Aini together...?"

Although he only met him once, Birch can be regarded as knowing Luo Ming!All the things that Luo Ming told him before did not mention Aini, which made him understand one thing, that is, everything Luo Ming said to him had nothing to do with Aini, including cooperation and protecting him Safety, Luo Ming only asks for his help, similarly, he will only protect him alone!

That's why Birch asked this question, hoping that Luo Ming could protect Aini while protecting himself. After all, in his opinion, Luo Ming's protection was much more reliable than his own.

Unfortunately, after this question, he only heard two cold and emotionless words:
"No."

"Oh……"

Unexpectedly, Birch didn't say anything after hearing this answer!

This made Luo Ming couldn't help but look back at him, and found that Birch was hugging Aini with one hand, and gently stroking her hair with the other hand... Luo Ming was stunned seeing this scene, and there was a smile in his eyes. It was full of inconceivability, and even had the idea that this guy in front of him already knew him so well? !

According to Luo Ming's character, it is really impossible for him to agree to protect Birch and Aini now, it's not that he can't do it, but it's too late, so no matter how much Birch pleads with Luo Ming at this time, it is impossible for him to agree to this request , but Birch... seems to have seen this, so he didn't continue to do useless work! ?

Luo Ming himself is often able to see through a person, but it is extremely rare to be seen through by others like this, and it also makes him feel very bad!Because of this, his opinion of Birch suddenly changed a lot!

In the end, Luo Ming looked away from Birch. Although he noticed his change, Luo Ming didn't have any doubts about him for the time being, so he looked at other people, and this was the first time he carefully Carefully check the other personnel in the base.

Since coming to this base, Luo Ming has basically focused his attention on Birch except for a glance. Now that the problems between them have been resolved, Luo Ming finally has time to take a good look at his opponent for this mission. , I saw that he first aimed his eyes at the group of human soldiers, that is, the plot characters, and then activated the devil's eye.

Dick: Motor infantry.

Sex: Male.

Attack Power: 10 (+13).

Defense: 5 (+5).

Vitality: 50 (+30).

Mana: 0.

Movement speed: 20.

Soul Quality: White.

Special Skills: None.

Ability: None.

Special Abilities: None.

Affiliation: Starship Troopers 2.

Ownership: subject to change.

At the first glance, Luo Ming saw Dick's attributes, that is, the soldier who brought Birch into the base. Although he can be regarded as a character who appeared once in the original plot, his attributes can only be counted as Barely passable, attributes such as attack, defense, or vitality are quite average. The reason why it is barely passable is that almost all soldiers in the Starship Troopers series are equipped with weapons and protective gear. These equipment can increase some attribute values. But it's just a little improvement.

And following Luo Ming's gaze, although the other soldiers around Dick were slightly different from him in terms of attributes, the gap was only one or two points away. Basically, they could be described as mediocre or even poor. Several different people are all the main characters in the story, and the most prominent ones are naturally the male and female protagonists!
Among a group of soldiers, a blond woman with ponytails and a man with a rough face are very eye-catching. Although they stayed in a corner and chatted alone, they looked very out of the crowd, but even if they didn't know them, Luo Ming was there After seeing the attributes of these two people, I immediately knew who they were!

Dax: Mobile Infantry.

Sex: Male.

Attack Power: 30 (+13).

Defense: 10 (+5).

Vitality: 200 (+30).

Mana: 0.

Movement speed: 25.

Soul Quality: Green.

skill:

Special Skills:
Leadership: After entering the combat state, the all attributes of all allies within 10 meters increase by 5%.

Ability: None.

Special Abilities: None.

Affiliation: Starship Troopers 2.

Ownership: subject to change.

Dax, the hero of Starship Troopers 2, a combination of hero and murderer in the plot, once served in the Widow Manufacturing Camp, which made even mentally retarded bugs frightened, and won the Battle Medal, Bronze Star Medal, Purple Heart Medal, Hero Medal and many other honors, he is a well-deserved hero among the infantry with the highest casualty rate, but in the story background of Starship Troopers 2, he was temporarily detained for shooting and killing the chief of the frontier base, and was locked in the cremation furnace of the base. However, it was precisely because of this that Dax escaped unharmed and became the only living person that the heroine and others saw when they came to the base.

From the perspective of Dax's attributes, although he is expensive as a leading actor, his overall attributes are not very high, but this is the case when compared with Luo Ming. If compared with ordinary soldiers, his attributes are almost higher It is more than double that of ordinary people, which is already very rare in the world of Starship Troopers, a world where personal power is generally not prominent. In addition, the story of Starship Troopers 2 itself is not mainly about fighting, so his attributes are also worthy. The identity of the leading actor.

And after looking at Dax's attributes, Luo Ming transferred it to the woman standing next to him.

Sandy: Mobile Infantry.

Gender: Female.

Attack Power: 15 (+13).

Defense: 7 (+5).

Vitality: 130 (+30).

Mana: 0.

Movement speed: 30.

Soul Quality: Green.

Skills: None.

Special Skills: None.

Ability: None.

special power:

Telepathy (Intermediate): Can perceive the target's inner thoughts after touching the target.

Affiliation: Starship Troopers 2.

Ownership: subject to change.

Compared with the tough Dax, the heroine Sandy's attributes are obviously much lower, just a few points higher than the average soldier, but she has a very practical special ability, that is telepathy, Luo Ming knows this ability. In the story of Starship Troopers 1, this kind of ability appeared among human beings. In the story, people with telepathy can perceive the other party's thoughts, weaker ones need to touch the target, strong ones can even Knowing what the target is thinking without any contact, and being able to see the thoughts of several people at the same time is a very powerful ability.

But Sandy, the heroine, is obviously not so powerful. From the ability description, it can be seen that she still needs to touch the target to activate the ability, but it is already strong enough, because according to the plot told by Birch to Luo Ming, Dax The reason why the two of them, and Sandy, were not controlled by the Zerg in the end, and they were able to discover the plot of the Zerg, was the ability of telepathy!
So after reading Sandy's attributes, Luo Ming fell into a short thought. He thought that he might be able to use the ability of telepathy!
After a while, Luo Ming read all the attributes of the characters in the plot, and he basically had a general idea in his mind. As expected, the difficulty of this mission is not the battle, because since the protagonists are so weak, they The human beings controlled by the Zerg will not be that strong, so the focus of this mission is still on controlling the target and rescuing the target. The sooner Luo Ming can find the enemy, the easier it is to complete the mission. , and the longer it drags on, even if he won't be in danger in the battle, he will be wiped out because he doesn't have enough trading targets in the end!

Another point that makes Luo Ming very regretful is that even though he has seen the attributes of all the plot characters, these people in front of him are all the plot characters in the base except for a few people, but from their attributes Luo Ming Ming didn't find anything unusual!What does this mean?It shows that even humans who have been controlled by Zerg will not have obvious changes in attributes!

Luo Ming already knew the outline of the plot from Birch, so he knew that those humans controlled by the Zerg must have entered the base during this period of time and mixed with normal people, probably among these people!It's a pity that in terms of attributes, Luo Ming can't find their flaws at all, that is to say, if he wants to find these 'invisible' enemies, Luo Ming still has to work hard.

Obviously, this is a task where a battle of wits is far better than a battle of courage!
In this regard, although Luo Ming said he would be somewhat disappointed, he had already expected that if the enemy could be found so easily, this task would not be considered difficult, so he did not rush, but turned to the plot after observing the characters. Turn around and face the survivors!
Different from the past, this time the survivors are not just trading targets for Luo Ming, they are also the objects that Luo Ming needs to protect. To complete the task, he must ensure that there are enough survivors not to be infected, and then he can be with them. Trade, and if you want to maximize the benefits, then Luo Ming must protect more survivors from being infected, otherwise, where is the deal without the trade target?

However, the paradox is that the survivors not only need Luo Ming's protection, but also his enemies!Because once these survivors are also infected, they will neither be trading targets nor need protection. Instead, they will become a source of infection, turning others into puppets of the Zerg. The survivors became Luo Ming's enemies again!
So this time the relationship between the survivor and Luo Ming can be said to be quite complicated!

And thinking of this, Luo Ming couldn't help rubbing his temples, he hasn't experienced what it's like to have a headache for a long time...
