I am a reincarnation player.

Yuki didn't quite understand what kind of tactics this was, but he saw the warrior who was pierced by the serrated knife holding the blade, his whole body emitting a dazzling light.

boom! !

He blew himself up cleanly, blowing both of them to pieces. A mushroom cloud rose a hundred meters away. The shock wave made Yuki cover his face, and he immediately understood what he was going to do.

Self-destruct charge?

As he expected, the shock wave made the remaining two warriors faster, passing the second warrior worm and falling into the cave entrance.

"Humanity, immortal!!"

Yuki heard a roar from the soul, and then two balls of light bloomed from the cave entrance.

This time the explosion was even more powerful, almost flattening the top of the mountain, blowing the swarm of insects and the ants that devoured the rocks into pieces, and even the brain worm let out a wail.

But it was useless. The light shield still existed, and the heavy firepower outside could not pour in. Instead, it widened the hole, allowing a hint of coolness to spread across Yuki's back.

The congested 'traffic' has been diverted, and something even more terrifying is about to come out.

Just as he was thinking, Yuki felt a strange touch under his feet, just like standing on the sea, with the rolling waves making his body rise and fall.

Is this the earthquake generator?

"Retreat, quickly!"

The female voice sounded again, and Yuki turned his head, only to find that the remaining soldiers had begun to evacuate quickly.

Damn, I told you you had bad intentions.

Yuki realized that if he had charged forward just now, he would definitely not be able to retreat now, so there was no need to say anything.

Just run.

In just a blink of an eye, the huge mountain began to crumble, and the ground was covered with wide cracks. Yuki couldn't fly, but fortunately he was physically strong enough and used all his strength to catch up.

His feet hit empty air, his body fell, and his soul energy simply solidified into a staircase.

Concept reinforcement. Lightness.

His body seemed to have turned into a feather, and he jumped out from the chaos of the earth-shattering collapse of the sky and gradually caught up with the retreating soldiers.

The silver transport plane was hovering in the sky, and a beam of blue light shot down from it. He saw the soldiers leap out of the light curtain and jumped in without hesitation. In an instant, they broke free from the constraints of gravity and floated up.

Anti-gravity beams? Really high-tech.

Yuki was very interested and jumped in as well. He immediately felt his body lighten as an upward force of gravity lifted him up, giving him a chance to observe his surroundings.

Looking down from a thousand meters above, it is a scene like the end of the world.

The mountains within ten kilometers were collapsing, like a toy being torn apart by a naughty child.

The swarm of insects could not fly, and they fell into the bottomless abyss with squeaking sounds, and were then buried by heavy rocks. The huge brain worm was squeezed by tens of thousands of tons of rocks and could no longer maintain the force field.

The missile streaked through the air, finishing off the attack with hatred, and blew the brain worm into oblivion in a huge fireball.

Turning his head slightly, he saw that the soldiers who rushed out of the fortress were running back like crazy, and those who fell behind were still swallowed by the cracks and fell into the bottomless abyss.

No one turned back to rescue, everyone was running for their lives, without any sense of composure of a winner.

Death, screams, sacrifice, and countless broken limbs.

[Player Yuki, you have achieved the 'First Kill of the Swarm' achievement, and are rewarded with 2 reinforcement points]

Amid the heavy breathing around him, Yuki heard murmurs, but there was no trace of joy in the harvest.

He frowned. Only by experiencing it personally could he know how different it was from previous copies.

This is war, damn war!

Chapter 5 Players are both heroes and demons (K)

The earth cracked and the mountains collapsed.

The wormhole that the Zerg had dug with great difficulty would be buried, and a swarm of Zerg ten times more numerous than what Yuki had seen would be crushed into meat patties, at the cost of ten ghost warriors and more than a hundred ordinary soldiers.

It will be a big win, but at this time of year, big wins are followed by fatigue because similar big wins have happened too many times.

"Why aren't these people excited at all? If this were a wormhole in the physical sense, the battle just now would have wiped out tens of thousands of bugs."

The beam of light dragged Yuki onto the transport plane. The high-tech silver-white cabin was very large and filled with equipment, but there were few people. Apart from him, there were only the four armored warriors who had returned and a few people who looked like maintenance divisions.

There was no cheering crowd, not even a few people to greet them, as if they had just done something insignificant.

"That shouldn't be the case. They risked their lives to win. If I had gone up there, I'd probably have been left behind."

He looked at the warrior on his left. In fact, all of them were equipped with the same equipment, except that there was a white flower painted on the shoulder armor of this person, which made Yuki think that this was the woman he had just talked to.

The latter lay on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up. It seemed that it was exhausted. As if it noticed Yuki's gaze, it turned its head slightly.

"Reinforcements?"

This voice sounded particularly cold and indifferent outside of the battle.

Yuuki nodded silently, muttering to himself that this was another difference.

The reincarnation game actually arranged the identities of the players, and the other party had no intention of questioning it, but why was there no excitement at all when seeing reinforcements after a hard battle?

"It's you." The female voice said 'hmm' and nothing else. She slowly stood up and, under the guidance of several soldiers in yellow jackets, went to the platform on the side of the cabin.

Yuki was puzzled. Not only was he not excited, he was even a little unwelcome.

"Hey, if I hadn't killed the first warrior bug, you would have been scattered by it. Why are you treating me like this?"

"This is your military achievement, but it should be assessed by the High Command. I will report it truthfully."

Yuki twisted his neck, feeling very strange. Why did this person think that I would be so utilitarian?

He looked at the scattered soldiers and found that the platform was not simple either. More than a dozen mechanical arms stretched out and removed the scarred armor.

Only then did they realize that the driver inside was almost the same as a normal person, except that he was wearing a tight suit full of round holes, and the armor parts were fixed on it.

As a country bumpkin, Yuki was very curious about these high-tech gadgets and walked over slowly.

"You know us?"

"If you didn't recognize me, we would have already fired upon you as if you were a puppet bug."

On the platform, as the breastplate was removed, revealing obvious female features, she seemed to be enduring the pain, and her voice trembled slightly.

"You come and go, leave and come again, full of betrayal, cowardice, and disobedience. Isn't it all for the reward?"

Sure enough, other players have been here before. Wait, has this dungeon been used repeatedly?

Yuki suddenly realized that the copies he experienced in the previous stage were all one-time ones and even had no reference value, but he thought of the hunter who was confused by the authorities and Wu Lei'an who was in blood disaster.

Logically speaking, a copy with a planet as its stage cannot be used only once.

"A closed world, so this is what it is."

He suddenly realized the significance of the 'border area'. It was not just a simple player trading market, but also contained a huge amount of dungeon intelligence. If he had this information, he would not be completely ignorant, and it would not be difficult to obtain information.

Why would players cut off their heads to connect to the border? Because no matter how strong the players in the closed world are, they can only rely on luck to gain a little dungeon information. In other words, the closed world dungeons are all disposable for the faction, and experience and information cannot be passed on. If you are not careful, you will lose your life without knowing it.

"If you are really like this, even when communicating normally, you will fall into weird thoughts." The female voice became helpless, with a hint of disgust.

Being seen through, players will of course analyze new information they discover.

Yuuki smiled bitterly, and understood where that feeling of indifference came from. Being enemies with players was dangerous, and being teammates was even more dangerous. For example, he was a "lurker" and his purpose in helping was not simple.

But that's not my fault. We are all fighting for survival.

When players first come, they are definitely regarded as saviors, but then batches of players lose their trust.

"A gentleman judges by deeds, not by heart. Just look at what I have done. No one knows what will happen in the future."

"That's quite interesting. Well, at least judging from the battle just now, you helped a lot."

"It's a big help, and I did it on my own initiative. You can't be so petty as to think that I should just follow orders and charge forward?" Yuki felt a little aggrieved. He also wanted to stay alive, okay?

"I have never expected you to obey my orders. At the very least, your strength makes me feel close to you."

A sense of closeness? Oh, is it soul power?

Yuki raised an eyebrow and saw the mechanical arm remove the cylindrical helmet with several dents, revealing a bright face.

She has standard European and American looks, with short golden hair that reaches her shoulders and is a bit messy, like a piece of withered straw. She has an oval face, a straight nose, deep green eyes, and looks to be in her teens.

She looks a bit like a younger version of Black Widow, with a height of no more than 1.6 meters. She looks very out of place against the backdrop of those armor parts and high-energy rifles.

That look again.

Chris frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with Yuki's scrutinizing gaze. Fortunately, the latter noticed it and immediately turned away, which made her feel a little better.

Unlike those animals dominated by desire, the most disgusting reinforcements.

The girl also took a closer look at Yuuki. Without the barrier of the Reaper armor, she could see more clearly, and then she narrowed her eyes in surprise.

"He doesn't seem to have been through many battles, but he has killed many people and experienced many battles. No wonder his attack just now was so clean and sharp."

Strong, but not experienced.

Compared to Yuuki's still handsome face, this aura made the warrior feel closer.

"What other benefits do you want?"

It was the first time Yuki heard Chris speak. Her voice was crisp and clear, not like that of a battle-hardened warrior.

"Just a thank you will do."

Chris was surprised. She had never thought that Yuki's request was so simple, but she did not say anything and turned to look at her companions.

The other three soldiers also finished removing their armor. Two were black and one was white. They were all strong and muscular men with the same expression.

Full of vigilance, yet hiding a glimmer of hope.

"Captain, we need their strength, but we must be careful not to be exploited by them, especially the lurkers inside."

"I've received relevant training and know how to deal with these strange reinforcements. I won't be fooled."

Chris nodded slightly, saluted, and let her companions leave.

Yuki could feel the fluctuations of soul energy and knew that these people were talking in the team voice, but he had a good emotional intelligence and pretended not to see it.

"Come with me." The girl landed on the ground silently and turned away.

So thank you, you really don’t say it.

Yuki moved his lips and followed patiently.

......

The transport plane flew smoothly, passing through the clouds without any bumps. Yuki followed the girl, walking in the empty corridor, feeling uncomfortable all over.

He came from the world of everyday love and was not good at dealing with such iron-blooded soldiers.

"You followed me because you wanted intelligence, didn't you? According to Article 7 of the High Command Code, I will share the intelligence with any reinforcements."

"Don't doubt my attitude. Do you know why we are lingering in this basin? Humanity once walked all over the planet, fighting against the Zerg. It is because we trusted you reinforcements that we ended up like this."

"But we still need your strength. There are also warriors among the reinforcements who can really help us. Otherwise, we would have treated you along with the Zerg."

"I hope you will learn from those warriors and not betray humanity. I will give you the relevant information. Strive to become a hero of humanity."

Chris spoke too directly. The good news was that she didn't beat around the bush and was extremely efficient in obtaining intelligence. The bad news was that she was very depressed and had to sit through a political class with gritted teeth.

The history briefly recounted was filled with blood and tears, and witnessing the sacrifices firsthand made Yuki, the 'lurker', feel ashamed.

Oh, I should have chosen the guardian earlier.

In a cabin of only a few square meters, Yuki slowly slid the holographic screen, which was sent by Chris and was far more advanced than the technology on Earth.

It was like breaking a pair of chopsticks, with the middle automatically flashing on the screen. Fortunately, the reincarnation game had a built-in translator, and Yuki learned it after a while of trial and error.

"The difficulty of obtaining intelligence was much simpler than expected. These people actually wrote a manual specifically for 'reinforcements'."

These are definitely things that "Planet Defense Force" wants players to know. They are all easy-to-understand background knowledge, divided into several categories: history, swarm information, and codes.

Yuki took a quick look at the history and had a rough idea of ​​the situation.

The Defense Force were colonists long ago, trapped on this Emerald Planet for some reason, and then came into contact with and fought against the fallen Zerg many years ago.

You can imagine how excited the first batch of players were when they arrived, but they soon discovered something was wrong.

"The power system is bizarre and more dangerous than they imagined."

Guardian players may not necessarily do their best. After all, players are guided by the principles of survival and gaining rewards. All their actions are to gain benefits from the headquarters, and it is almost impossible for them to sacrifice themselves for the dungeon characters.
