Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Heloise breathed a sigh of relief. With reinforcements, the difficulty of the performance was instantly reduced. Thank goodness, she wasn't really good at acting anyway.

The battle officially began one minute later.

It's unclear which assassin fired a sniper shot, but the shot stirred up a sudden cloud of dust on the sand, immediately alerting player 004 and the players from the Plains Valley base who rushed to provide support.

"Counterattack! Counterattack!"

bang bang.

Soon the vast sandy land was covered by sand and dust, with flashes of light appearing from time to time. After the sand truck had traveled a distance, Wu Ke, who had two unidentified bags hanging from his waist, suddenly jumped off from the side.

This is the same operation as many others, but the difference is that Wu Ke's feet did not sink into the sand after landing.

Heloise and the others who followed later noticed that his shoes were quite unusual—

Real skateboard shoes!

"From now on, it's all down to skill." Wu Ke waved, then slid off carrying a rapid-fire nozzle. "I'm off now, hahaha—"

With air blasting from the back of his skateboard, he shot off like an arrow, gliding briefly over the raised sand dunes at incredible speed.

Holy crap! Seriously?!

Is this the difference between people?

The well-prepared assassin moved freely on the sand, while the others could only walk with difficulty, and if they tried to launch themselves with a violent stomp, they might slip and end up with a mouthful of sand.

Heloise ran out from behind the dunes.

In terms of pure professionalism, she is far more professional than those who have never participated in war.

Boom!

It's almost impossible to see the enemy with just your eyes. The explosion destroyed the parked sand trucks, causing great difficulties for the advancing troops. At this time, having a set of professional equipment would be much more effective.

Heloise also has a set of eyepieces, but unlike the others who use them to hit their targets, she uses them to avoid hitting them.

"The intruders' charge has already drawn away some of the enemy's reinforcements. We'll flank them and block their retreat!" Gino immediately gave the order.

Meng Lan shook her head: "No, the sand truck can't possibly break through that obstacle. There are too many drones in the sky. Oh no, they're already getting close. Abandon the vehicle quickly."

After rolling all the equipment into a box, Meng Lan opened the window and skillfully flipped herself out.

The others were also well-trained, except for one unlucky guy who didn't have time to escape. Half of his body was left in the car and turned into a pile of minced meat in the first wave of intense drone fire.

"Damn it, this is too chaotic. There's no organization at all. Everyone's just thinking about charging ahead. If this continues, even if we outnumber them, it'll be hard to stop them," Gino cursed angrily.

While dodging, they cleared away the slowly approaching drone formation.

Rush!

The charge wasn't just made by drone formations, but also by mobile artillery formations.

In reality, no one cared about the safety of 004. Everyone knew that this was a decoy to lure the advance team from Bureau 217 over, and then use Heloise's intelligence to pinpoint the advance team's location.

Trading resurrected players for NPCs from the opposing faction is a highly profitable business.

Moreover, An Ran specifically chose this position.

002: "Mosha River, away from the sandworm's nest, you can return to base now."

Mo Shahe, who was astonished by the sheer size of the sandworm nest, suddenly felt a sense of peace and turned into a saint upon hearing this.

By the Holy Mother, I'll be right back!

With a swipe of its hands, the Mosha River instantly transformed into a sailfish.

He saw at least five sandworm nests; who knows how many more there are.

There is more than one type of sandworm; calling them sandworms is a lazy way of putting it. Some sandworms have a dormant period, so they are not commonly seen. However, once the vibration on their heads reaches a certain level...

beep...

Dozens of drones and artillery emplacements suddenly turned their guns around and charged fiercely at the sandy ground.

"Well done, the virus has successfully invaded." Gino was overjoyed. Bringing Meng Lan into the team was definitely the right decision; otherwise, they would have had a real headache dealing with these drones.

After all, it's a level 48 piece of equipment.

"Captain!" Meng Lan raised her hand in dissatisfaction, "The virus has not been successfully implanted yet."

It hasn't been successfully implanted yet, so...

Gino's face froze instantly.

Of course, you have to disturb the sandworms' sleep and use the loudest sound to wake them up!

Amazing!

The two turrets activated their self-destruct sequence and exploded instantly, turning the already sunken sand pit into a giant whirlpool.

A strange tremor occurred on the sand, but the fierce battle masked this phenomenon. After a long while, Meng Lan, who was trying to break through the membrane of the defense module but could not find a way, suddenly stood up in fear.

"Oh no, the terrain has changed in a very strange way." She stared intently at the screen.

"What's going on?" Bai Yuan squeezed in.

The 3D model of the terrain showed several large-scale collapses.

Unless there is a cavity underneath, the sand could not possibly have turned into this state.

woo-

Just then, a muffled cry came through the gaps in the explosions.

Wu Ke, who was dodging bullets by swaying and twisting on the sand, stumbled with his right foot. He barely managed to steady himself, but before he could make his next move, a violent surge of sand suddenly erupted a meter in front of him.

Countless grains of sand gushed up from the ground.

"I rely on!"

Wu Ke was stunned.

He wanted to back away, but found himself powerless, for he had lost his footing.

Following closely behind the sand surged out, a giant insect, over ten meters tall, shot out with a whoosh, lifting the shocked Wu Ke into the sky.

"Damn it." Wu Ke swung his knife in a backhand strike, but the knife was deflected and landed on the back of an NPC.

Ouch! That hurts.

"My God, a level 58 sandworm!" said a player.

"How can there be such a huge sandworm here!" exclaimed a sand digger.

"What kind of monster is this?" asked the NPC assassin.

boom.

The moment the sandworm turned over, dozens of pairs of legs slammed onto Wu Ke's body.

-307.

asshole.

Wu Ke tried desperately to steady his falling body, but no matter what he did, he found himself helpless.

Then suddenly a ball of flame surged up from below, burning everything to ashes.

Forget about the hair, even the armor level of the skateboard shoes has been reduced to zero.

"Reset to zero, reset to zero, reset to zero—"

After falling into the sandpit, Wu Ke discovered that he still had 208 health points left.

The skin was torn open and there was no cure.

He struggled to lift his head and was devastated to find himself surrounded by sandworms, albeit smaller ones. It was over; he was at his wit's end.

"Isn't that Wu Ke?" On the other side, two rabbits jumped up and recognized Wu Ke at a glance.

Hu Zhenghao, standing beside him, remained unmoved: "Take care of yourself first."

Also.

The rabbit had nothing to say; it should mind its own business.

A sandworm jumped out, followed by two more. Soon, the sand was filled with nearly a hundred sandworms of level 50 or above, scaring the two sides who were fighting half to death.

"Fuck you, I still want to live. Let whoever wants to go, go ahead." The experienced sand shoveler jumped onto the vehicle, pushed the lever, and sped away.

"Damn it, that son of a bitch drove the car away."

"..."

"Even though I know this is a bait plan, these sandworms are just too terrifying."

"It's like a dozen bosses leading a bunch of elite monsters to harass the players."

"If I could kill one of them in one go, I reckon I could level up instantly!"

"I'll give it a try."

Suddenly, a shell as thick as an arm landed on a sandworm.

Then the riots began.

"Oh, I was wrong. I'll never do that again."

"Damn it, don't bump my butt, you son of a bitch."

"You have really a heavy taste, you even have the guts to eat insects."

"I'm truly impressed that you can still joke around at a time like this."

……

It was too chaotic. Heloise lowered her body and quickly moved towards the edge of the battlefield. At this point, there was no point in pretending anymore.

Anran's operation was a success; now she only needs to worry about her own safety.

A level 51 "small" bug suddenly raised its sharp blade and swung it at a woman from diagonally opposite, seemingly about to cut off her head in the next second.

Heloise hesitated for a moment before firing.

She recognized this person; he was from the advance team. If she rescued him, she might gain some goodwill and perhaps even obtain more useful information.

"Ka-"
