Don't provoke mentally ill people in the infinite flow genre!

[This round really got me on the edge of my seat. The realism of the gunfire was just too strong; I felt breathless for both teams.]

[Weapons, equipment, and medicine are all hard to come by, and we're almost out. I can understand Yi Zanglan. If she doesn't take this risk, there will definitely be casualties during the final mission. Putting aside whether they die or not, the team members' mental state definitely won't hold up.]

[I guessed that special potion was an item the system left for the players, but I thought it was originally meant to find someone in the team to volunteer as a sacrifice, because once injected, they would mutate and would likely be able to carve a path for the team at a crucial moment—who would have thought that Yi Zanglan would use it herself, and that she could still remain normal.]

[She's a bug! With this kind of superhuman mental power, I even doubt that those five-star mental control personal skills would have any effect on her!]

[You're right. Qi Chuan's mental hallucination skills from the Time Hunter were quite advanced, but instead of controlling Yi Zanglan, they enraged her and led him to his death. It was then that I truly realized how powerful she was.]

Alright, alright, I'm done chatting. I need to focus on the final battle. Go Black Wind Stronghold! Go Wave Washing Sand!

……

……

On the seventh day of the operation, near dawn, the old-fashioned cell phone obtained from Mr. J finally started working.

The message from the unknown number contained only one short sentence:

[The military will bomb Layton City in twelve hours. Please take the new generation of medical supplies and evacuate through the secret passage at Base 7 as soon as possible.]

As the Bluetooth connection password popped up on the screen, the system map for all players displayed their specific locations.

Just one block away is the Hoble Center, which houses a large indoor sports complex.

The final mission has officially begun.

All the streets and alleys were filled with infected people. At the intersection near the Hobble Center, the road ahead was completely blocked. Even this modified bus had a hard time breaking through the numerous obstacles.

Jiang Ling's face darkened, and she suddenly looked at Yi Zanglan: "Captain, leave it to me. I'm fast; I can use my motorcycle to distract them, and then you guys can go through the department store from inside!"

Fortunately, everyone had planned ahead and kept one of the Ghost Gang's motorcycles in the luggage compartment, just in case.

Jiang Ling can distract the infected people gathered nearby to buy time for her teammates, and then she can use the Twin Mirror Shift ability to transfer back to her brother's side.

This is indeed the most feasible solution at present.

Yi Zanglan nodded, then exchanged a glance with Yin Canglang. Yin Canglang made a quick decision: "Sheng Xiao, you go with her. Protect her and try your best not to die yourself."

By this point, Sheng Xiao had completely gotten used to the cooperative mode of this game. He even thought it was something he should do and was very happy that the captain had chosen to entrust this task to him. He immediately strode off to open the luggage compartment.

"receive."

Two minutes later, the temporary blond duo, riding a motorcycle and carrying two guns, sped into the horde of infected ahead.

The rest of the team left the bus behind, packed their gear, quickly got off, and sprinted towards the department store.

"Everyone check your system interface!" Yi Zanglan shouted, "Those with low mental strength or dangerously low alertness should prioritize injecting the remaining energy potions!"

This is the final battle of the series, and regardless of victory or defeat, we must give it our all.

* * * * * *

The entire Hoble Center, which appears to be a large abandoned sports stadium, has actually long been turned into a virus testing base secretly authorized by the government.

This is Test Site No. 7 in Layton, which is much larger than the underground tunnels of the Holy Church Hospital.

Now, this place has been abandoned, leaving only the infected who suffered horrific consequences from the experiments.

What awaits them is destruction by bombing in a few hours.

The key obtained from Mr. J was the key to open the stadium door. As the specially made giant metal door slowly rose in front of them, everyone saw the huge venue inside, with countless sophisticated instruments arranged in a disorderly manner, as well as one iron cage after another imprisoning infected people.

With a low, mechanical roar, the mechanism activated, and all the iron cages opened. Hundreds and thousands of highly infected individuals, mutated from the experiment, surged out like a tidal wave, frenzied and savage, and began hunting the living.

The Hoble Center has four floors, and the map shows that the exit is located on the top floor.

In other words, they need to fight their way to the top floor and escape before Layton City is completely bombed in order to complete this game.

Yi Zanglan deftly cocked the rifle, then turned around and looked around at the team members surrounding him, his gaze finally settling on Yin Canglang's face.

Half of her face was covered with freckles and bruises, making her phoenix eyes appear even more bloodshot and frightening, yet her tone was gentle and languid, as if she were talking about something perfectly ordinary.

"Just do your best and have fun."

Yin Canglang sneered: "Yes, I already said, if the sky falls, the two of us will be responsible for holding it up. You just need to charge forward."

The role of a captain inherently implies decisiveness, responsibility, and protection.

Be both a sharp sword and a steadfast shield.

Leading by example, never retreating.

……

……

The bloody battle continues.

Later on, both teams ran out of ammunition and began to use knives and sticks to fight the infected in close combat.

Yi Zanglan rushed back and forth, using a tactical military knife to cut through two floors of the venue, rescuing the besieged team members everywhere and escorting everyone to the third floor.

Even when facing infected individuals modified by special drugs, she is still the strongest.

Neither joy, anger, sorrow, nor fear could be her weakness.

At the same time, Yin Canglang was also busy with the same thing.

The two finally met on the third floor, separated by the blood and remains of corpses scattered on the ground, and stared at each other.

"Xun Zhou, Tian Ci, and Qiu Zhu's sanity levels are almost depleted, and Sheng Xiao is about to die."

The situation at Black Wind Stronghold is not optimistic either. Qin Shaoyu, Jiang Ling, and Wu Ying are all on the verge of collapse, Jiang Yao is injured, and Ling Ye is still struggling to hold on.

Furthermore, both healing and energy potions are unavailable.

"I know." Yi Zanglan was silent for a moment, then sighed and asked softly, "A Lang, do you love me?"

...Yin Canglang was suddenly stunned.

Her eyes were slightly red, and she laughed self-deprecatingly as she asked, "We've known each other for over twenty years, and you're asking me this? Even if this isn't a team match, even if we really come to an end one day, dying together with you would be the best ending in my opinion—Yi Zanglan, tell me, do I love you or not?"

Before the words were even finished, the bracelet on her wrist suddenly shone with golden light.

Yi Zanglan lowered his eyes, and for some reason, his fingers trembled slightly.

It's always the same; unless she's driven to the brink of despair, her skills can't be activated.

However, even in the most desperate situations, love will never be absent and will surely arrive as promised.

"I won't die, and you have to live well with me too."

[System prompt: Use skill [Death's Descent]?]

【Yes. 】

[System prompt: Do you wish to use [Divine Blessing] on [all members of the Cooperative Match]?]

【Yes. 】

A boundless, soft golden light instantly enveloped the entire Hoble Center stadium.

As a result, all members of Black Wind Village and Waves Washing Sand were blessed by the gods.

Yin Canglang watched as his wounds healed rapidly at a visible speed. When he looked up again, he found that Yi Zanglan opposite him had also returned to normal.

"...Is this your personal skill? And this is where the side effects come from?"

"That's not all. I'll tell you more about it later when we have the chance." Yi Zanglan pointed to another group of infected people chasing after her. "After all, we still have things to do."

"Yes, then let's finish this quickly." Yin Canglang raised her hand and touched her ruby ​​ring. She turned to look at the group of infected people, her eyes sharp and full of killing intent. "It's rare for us to cooperate, so you should see what I'm capable of."

[System prompt: Use skill [Unpredictable Spirit Binding]? During this time, you can manipulate all ghosts and monsters within your line of sight, but you will suffer backlash. The duration depends on your own condition.]

[Please note: After using this skill, the player's attack power, damage mitigation, and agility will all be reduced to B- the next time they travel through the game.]

【Yes. 】

A crimson, wave-like phantom instantly enveloped Yin Canglang's entire body, and then swept towards the infected as she moved forward.

The phantom waves transformed into chains, binding the bodies of the infected targeted by her gaze, making them like puppets, manipulated to march in formation, change targets, and attack other infected blocking their path.

The further she goes, the more infected are manipulated, causing them to wage war among themselves to clear obstacles for her and reach the top.

Blood continued to trickle down his lips, silently seeping into his clothes. Yin Canglang wiped it away with his fingertips, then turned to look at Yi Canglan with a smile.

"Remember your promise, we'll meet again in the City of Doom."
