I am a reincarnation player.

.......

Successful.

Reingold was left alone in the room, while Yuuki had already run out excitedly to discuss things, and he had no intention of mocking the other party's greed.

It is always better to ask for something than to ask for nothing. Anyway, there are not many chips left.

The admiral pounded his lower back, walked out slowly, entered the elevator, passed the identity verification, and went up from Area D to the top of the command headquarters.

This is actually the bridge, which is the smallest area and has large windows through which you can see the vast sea of ​​clouds and the dilapidated deck.

A large number of psychic warriors wearing heavy power armor were guarding with guns. Their armor was far more gorgeous than Chris's, and they were taller. There was a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps, and they were lined up along the corridor.

After several rounds of instrument inspections, Admiral Reingold finally walked into the deepest part of Area A. The heavy protective door opened, revealing a windowless room.

Lights flashed on both sides, showing hundreds of scenes, including a fierce battle for the wormhole in the mountains, the interweaving of hundreds of monsters and fighter planes in the sky, and assassination bugs that were thrown into the wall like catapults and then exploded.

The war is far more than just the beacon fires on the wall. From the sky to the ground, there are battlefields everywhere. The army is mobilized more frequently than Yuki imagined. It’s just that people without sufficient authority have no idea how bad the situation is.

In the middle of the hall was an iron throne, on which sat a tall figure with gray hair, a square face, and a majestic appearance that commanded loyalty at first sight.

There is a door behind him, and no one knows where it leads to. There are only densely packed pipes connected to the door, leading to all directions.

"Commander-in-chief, they agreed to carry out the plan." The general saluted, and his hunched back suddenly straightened.

"Well done, Reingold." The man's voice was deep, full of fatigue and authority. He raised his hand to stop the admiral from speaking with concern. "This general bug Laplande can't kill me yet, but I didn't expect it to act as bait."

"There are only three recorded general insects left. This is truly a great victory."

"A meaningless victory. Isn't humanity just marching from victory to victory, ultimately leading to destruction?" The commander-in-chief wasn't particularly excited. He sat upright, a wry smile on his face.

"It is precisely because of these continuous victories that those alien visitors have gone from supporting roles to protagonists. History has taught me that only by making the final decision can we win a way out."

"The Spark Project has essentially failed. We are no match for those monsters in a war of attrition. Even if the Spark prevents them from fighting to sustain themselves, we will be destroyed before it breaks apart and consumes itself."

Hearing this, Reingold's expression darkened. Humans had indeed struggled desperately and carried out hundreds of plans, but the result was that the Zerg evolved faster and faster, growing from ants to opponents, and then from opponents to crushing them.

The Sentinel Project is actually meaningless. Within ten days, the Zerg will find a solution, and then another desperate wave of evolution will come.

Countering each move with another will not solve the problem. If you want to win, there is only one way -

"Get rid of the most core bug and make the bug swarm lose the ability to evolve and split. Only in this way can we gain a glimmer of hope." The commander-in-chief seemed to be roaring. It was difficult for him too.

The goal is to find the king of the Zerg and kill it in a desperate counterattack, but the Zerg has long been prepared for decapitation, so the only ones who can go looking for it are players.

But players will not die in vain. If the real purpose is told, no one will go there, so bait has to be thrown out.

"Excuse me for being blunt, but this is almost impossible. Those reinforcements are very smart and we might end up making things worse." The admiral shook his head repeatedly. If he used conspiracy or trickery, he might end up turning against his enemies.

"Reingol, I know them. They're incredibly cautious and greedy. Once they're out of control, they'll definitely cause trouble for the bugs." The commander-in-chief laughed, tugged at his wound, and began coughing again.

"Even if they see through me, the worst that can happen is a showdown. These people have to accomplish a certain goal before they can leave. Given the current situation, they'll definitely understand."

Look at these surveillance cameras. You have to understand them even if you don’t understand them, unless we all die together.

"But we've executed this plan several times. We came closest to success last time, but the traitor ultimately triumphed over the hero." Reingold's fingertips trembled slightly as he thought of the painful past.

"Back then, the defense forces were far more powerful than they are now, yet we were still defeated. Perhaps that was when Suweimendi's faith wavered and he became a puppet."

Talking about the betrayal of their old comrades, both of them felt a little sad. These past events, which the younger ones like Chris knew nothing about, were top secret, as one of the prerequisites for becoming a puppet worm was the shaking of faith.

The defense forces tried to fight back, return to the stars, dissect the aliens, abandon all morality, and take all means, but the result remains the same:

Endless swarms of insects, boundless despair.

"Su Wei was defeated by despair, but I will not." The commander-in-chief stood up, his height of over two meters imbued with an oppressive presence. "I will be like a moth drawn to a flame, letting this body burn until the very end, either consuming the insect swarm or consuming humanity."

This is a kind of hysterical obsession, but without this obsession, the general who knows how bad the current situation is would have become a puppet insect long ago. The news is strictly blocked, and it is not just the players who are targeted.

"You're still as passionate as you were in your youth. No wonder you became the commander-in-chief." Reingold couldn't help but smile, like a cunning fox. "But this isn't easy. We have to calculate those alien visitors, we have to play games with the Zerg, and we have to find a way out in case of failure. Of course, all of this is my job."

"This time it's easier. We don't need to look for a way out. If we fail again, we will lose all our gambling chips." The commander-in-chief clenched his fists like a gambler who has lost all his money.

Have we finally reached this point?

The admiral didn't say anything. He glanced at the portraits hanging on the walls of the hall. There were both men and women, and the common point was their determined eyes.

The central database's backup plan is almost exhausted. After calculation, the critical point of the wall breaking will arrive within two months, which is still the best case scenario.

But it's easier said than done. Not to mention the Zerg, even the reinforcements have ulterior motives.

"The central database has been hacked. It must have been done by that Silver Hand. Those aliens think we don't know."

"Can it be cleared?"

"Okay, but the power will be shut down for ten days, which will undoubtedly make the situation worse. Do you dare to give this order?" The admiral shook his head.

As for shutting down for ten days, it is simply impossible. This will stop the "Sentinel Plan" and make the command headquarters lose the ability to command the entire battlefield. What's worse is that it will break off relations with the reinforcements.

For the final solution, the power of aliens is indispensable.

"The gambling begins now. Don't worry, they are not a monolithic group. It won't be easy to break through number 0. Just keep it, and let's pretend we know nothing."

"We can ignore that Silver Hand, but what about Sky Island Yuki? Why don't you go and confirm his identity?" The Admiral's voice suddenly became fierce, questioning, "Have you forgotten why we failed last time?"

A man with an honest face played tricks on everyone. The commander-in-chief still remembers the contemptuous look in his eyes when he left the world. Everyone was deceived by him and became a pawn like a clown.

He was clearly a guardian, yet he did something unforgivable:

He single-handedly killed the previous commander-in-chief, causing the Fire Chaser Project to fail. The defense forces were forced to block all information and even resorted to brainwashing.

"Times have changed. I don't have the time to adjust. Besides, that person is a guardian, but he has done things that even the lurkers dare not think of." The commander-in-chief clenched his fists, with a hatred that wanted to eat his flesh alive.

"So, identity doesn't explain anything. Since we've chosen to gamble, we should put all our chips on the line. Borrow reinforcements to find that bug and kill it with all our might. As for Sky Island Yuu Castle—"

"He is not a lurker, and he cannot be a lurker!"

Chapter 6: Off-Current Investigation (K)

Yuuki is not a prophet. He sensed that something was wrong, but he didn't know that the human leaders were smarter than he thought.

The Zerg had a plan, and humanity was struggling just as hard. Johnny Silverhand had been discovered, yet no word of it had been leaked. Furthermore, without knowing the overall situation, who knew the defense forces were desperate and ready for a last-ditch attack?

Only logic told him that the 'Sentinel Project' was not that simple. Not to mention that the plan was full of wishful thinking, even if it succeeded, it would be meaningless except for delaying time.

"Whatever, I'm finally going to meet the seniors."

Yuuki stretched and felt very happy.

This time, the Hunters, Thorn Roses, Mechanical Believers, Shadow Kingdom, and Cemetery Guardians will act together and attack simultaneously in four directions.

With the cover of psychic warriors, quietly leave the basin through the underground passage. Each group places down three sentry arrays and ensures that all of them are activated before retreating. Then you will have the opportunity to obtain a bloodline skill. This mission is a sure win.

You should know that although bloodline items are precious, they are not rare. Bloodline skills are more troublesome. They are usually quest rewards. Only after you get the first one can you use the bloodline items.

"After two stages, only Hayasaka and I have acquired bloodline skills. How could it be so easy to acquire? No one would be stupid enough to think this mission is easy."

"But as a player, as long as the benefits are big enough, I'm willing to brave any obstacle."

Yuki opened his dozing eyes and saw Captain Chris secretly flipping through the magazine borrowed from Hiyori. In her opinion, it was shameful to have such a will-killing thing.

Ignoring the girl, Yuki looked at Denise and communicated with his eyes.

"How much longer will Johnny Silverhand take?"

"At least five days. Don't worry, his companions have already joined the gang. That man won't betray his companions."

That's true, he is a man.

Yuki felt a little relieved. As long as Johnny Silverhand could get hold of the central database, he would not only be able to find out the secret of the "Spark", but also know what the top leaders of the defense forces wanted to do, so that he could respond accordingly.

As the recognized person in charge of this matter, Yuki did not hesitate to abuse his power for personal gain.

Except for the Thorn Rose, which acts as a whole, the other camps are randomly assigned so that they can monitor each other. After all, if a traitor leaks information to the Zerg, it will be a big trouble.

As for Thorn Rose, she obviously prefers team-based tactics and her individual combat power is relatively poor, so it is difficult for others to object.

"I'll lead the first group, you'll be in charge of the second. Rebecca will monitor the cemetery guards for the third group, and the fourth group will be completely handed over to the Shadow Realm. Is that okay?"

"It's fair and reasonable, but the first group will be responsible for the most dangerous west side. How about I assign the captaincy to you?" The woman said with a smile, her intention was very simple.

If the lone ranger Yuki really wants to do something bad, the people of Thorn Rose alone cannot stop him. There must be a player of similar strength to monitor him.

"Yes, that captain is indeed powerful." Yuki would not object. Captain Levi was a very reliable person. Thinking of this, he asked tentatively: "Madam, you hunters don't have any faction talents. Why don't you just go find the queen directly?"

It was too straightforward, more like a joke, but Denise didn't get angry. She smiled and replied, "I have to at least see the enemy before I can throw down the hunting beacon."

The Goshawk flew around the mountains and soon dropped the Smiling Lady in the north. The second team, mainly composed of cemetery guards, was already waiting, and the defense force also sent a liaison officer.

The transport plane continued to move westward and encountered an attack by a bat dragon on the way. Yuki didn't need to do anything as the psychic warriors assigned to him quickly dealt with the situation.

Go out of the wall in the four directions of east, south, west and north at the same time, send the coordinates after determining the position, and the sentry array will send them directly. The fungal blanket only responds to living people, so there is no need to worry about it being unplugged as soon as it is inserted.

The key is to ensure safety around the landing site, and it is best to find a corner that is difficult to find.

The west side, which Yuki is in charge of, is the most dangerous. No one knows where the Zerg's nest is, but there is the "Unbreakable Fortress" in the west, which is considered the first line of confrontation between the two sides.

It was because Yuki chose the most difficult task that the other players had nothing to say and were willing to take the risk.

"Who knows what will happen if you go beyond the wall."

Since you can't calculate everything, why bother yourself? After a few hours, a piece of clearing finally appeared in the endless black mountains.

It was a valley with a huge fortress in the middle. It was several times larger than any guard post I had seen before. Chris said that this was the outer outpost of the Undying Fortress.

There is a helipad in the center of the fortress, which can just accommodate a Goshawk. It lands vertically with the nozzle facing downwards. When the tail door opens, Yuki finally sees the senior schoolmate and others whom he has missed for many days.

Mai Sakurajima, Ai Hayasaka, and Kaguya Shinomiya were all there. In order to stay concealed, they all changed into grass-gray military uniforms, but none of them had the iron-blooded aura of Captain Chris.

'More like uniform temptation.'

The two sides looked at each other like strangers, and Shinomiya Kaguya even acted a bit disgusted. Yuki's gaze quickly fell on the face of the famous Captain. This short man with a pair of dead fish eyes seemed to be more attractive than the beautiful girls.

"Captain, go and rest. I'll talk to them about the next thing."

Chris was secretly observing Mai and the others. There was nothing she could do about it; they really didn't fit in with the Iron Blood Barracks. Upon hearing this, she raised her hand and saluted reluctantly.

"Major, do you really not need my help?"

Each team is equipped with psychic warriors. If someone betrays them in the middle of a battle, they are responsible for throwing them out of the wall. The soldiers led by Chris are all directly under the command and are the most powerful.

"No need, just follow the order."

"Uh, okay." Chris waved her hand and asked the dozen or so psychic warriors in the cabin to leave. She was pulled aside by Hiyori, who said that she had a gift for her.

The two of them became familiar with each other along the way, so it could be considered a blatant bribery.

Yuki stepped forward and extended his hand. "Let me introduce myself, Sky Island Yuki. Everyone has signed a contract, and now is the time to unite and conquer the dungeon. If you have any questions, feel free to ask now."

Fortunately, Mai and the others had excellent acting skills, so their serious appearance didn't make them laugh. They came forward one after another to introduce themselves, just like a group of strangers.

Anyway, Levi didn't see any problem. At most, he felt that Yuki's eyes were a little strange, and he kept stealing glances at people's legs.

Could this person be a jerk?

He muttered to himself that such a purely female player team was indeed rare, but Levi showed no interest and extended his hand coldly.

"Captain, I hope you'll keep your word and stop playing tricks."

"There's no need to wait until now to play tricks. The Sentinel Plan is not that simple, but we can't just sit back and wait for death." Yuuki was neither humble nor arrogant. He had met too many "acquaintances" and was not excited even when he saw Levi himself.

"The Psychic Warrior Surgery can bring a bloodline skill. The risk is worth taking."

"Don't you have any bloodline skills?" The captain let go of his hand, his eyes sharp.

Each player can usually only have one bloodline skill, and the benefits are not great enough.

"Yes, but I want to bet that the core material of this operation can be taken away. It will be worth a fortune at the junction."

Yuki had greed written all over his face. Players took risks for the sake of profit, which made sense. If it could be traded, it would be worth thousands of points.

"I believe you." Levi had the same plan, glancing at the busy fortress. "We're leaving in 15 hours. Anything else you want to tell us?"

"Not yet. I need to take a look at what's outside the wall first."

"Okay, call me when we gather." Levi said nothing more, turned around and left, not giving anyone a chance to get closer.

"This guy is so cool." Sakurajima Mai watched the figure walking away. She didn't know the Captain, but she found that the players she met in the new stage were different from before.

The race is not limited to humans, nor does it seem to come from the normal world.

"Of course it's cool. He's a natural hunter." After all the strangers left, Yuki relaxed. He didn't know what stage Levi was in, but he definitely joined the Survey Corps.

This is very simple. He is still wearing the uniform of the Wings of Liberty. Thinking of the "Sitting Emperor" Reiner among the hunters, he is very curious about the current situation of that world.

"Ms. Mai, won't you invite me to your room for a cup of coffee?"
