There is something wrong with my infinite flow teammates!

The alien's skull is harder than any other part of the body. Even bullets cannot leave marks on the skulls of ordinary aliens, let alone the hardness of the Queen's skull. What's more, its hard skull is covered with a layer of bone crown armor.

But the Iron Blood's shoulder cannon can smash ordinary aliens with just one shot. If it is fired in the direction of your teeth, it can at least cause fatal damage to it, not to mention penetrating it.

The blue light surged again inside the shoulder cannon firing port, but the light just gathered and slowly dissipated. An almost desperate warning came from the retina. The energy of the storage device was insufficient and the shoulder cannon ammunition was exhausted...

The Queen, who had stabilized her body from a stiff and staggering state, roared angrily at Kitahara Sora, her huge mouth opened and aimed at Kitahara Sora's shoulder. As if she realized that her prey's weapon had lost its effectiveness, she immediately turned her head and used her strong hind legs to rush towards Yukino and the other person in the passage!

"Grass mud horse!"

Beiyuan Kong's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared and took a step forward when a violent explosion was heard again. Fire and lightning broke out again on the other side of the Queen's body. In the ruins, a strong body of nearly two meters tall pushed away the rubble and half of its body was exposed.

The only remaining Ironblood climbed up, with flames surging from his shoulders...

"Boom, boom, boom..."

One, two, three shots. The Queen's miserable cry resounded throughout the cave. The continuous impacts caused its body, which had finally stood steadily, to shake again. Under the impact of the explosion, the Queen's huge body took two steps sideways towards Bei Yuankong. One of its front paws was finally blown off and thrown into the air.

Its shrill screams became lower and lower, and it seemed as if it was already at the end of its strength, but Beiyuan Kong felt a chill in his heart, and a strong sense of fear took over his body and mind. Although its roars became smaller and smaller, its body became more and more steady under the impact of the explosion. The queen's huge body was already billowing thick smoke, and many parts of her bone armor were cracked. Continuous electric light crawled all over her body, but she seemed to be gradually adapting to the huge damage that threatened her life.

If it continues to bombard, it will completely adapt to the paralyzing damage caused by the shoulder cannon, unless its defense can be completely broken and its internal tissues can be shattered!

"Stop, stop! Stop shooting!"

Beiyuan Kong's voice reached Tiexue's ears, and his shoulder cannon continued to bombard the wound on the Queen's broken arm.

But his vision flickered, and the ripples of music in the eye mask kept flashing. After translating the earthling's cry and clearly understanding what he meant, Iron-Blooded's body suddenly bounced up, and at the same time as his last shoulder cannon was fired, the Queen had already taken a big step towards that direction, staring at the artillery fire, and her thick tailbone had already swung towards him.

The enormous force pulled it directly out of the ruins, flew it more than ten meters away, smashed several naturally formed rock pillars, and then slammed into the stone wall. The unparalleled force almost embedded the iron blood into the stone wall, and it fell down softly two seconds later.

The queen roared and rushed towards Yukino and the other person. Her huge and heavy footsteps made the entire cave tremble as if she could not bear the weight. But she didn't run a few steps before she let out another painful scream like a dinosaur. Her huge body was crumbling. Kitahara Sora was already hanging in the air on her neck, and the iron spear in his hand pierced through the gap in her armor and stabbed deeply into her neck.

He no longer felt the pain in his injured leg, and his chest, which had been almost collapsed by the flying rocks, had regained its functions. He felt his breathing become smooth again, his pupils burst into intense light again, and the muscles under his armor even bulged in an exaggerated manner.

A large amount of blood gushed out of Kitahara Kong's mouth, and the edge of the mask was dripping red like a small waterfall.

The queen roared and swayed from side to side, and her only remaining front paw kept biting the sharp thorn on her neck. The intense pain made her desperately want to kill the weak and pitiful creature hanging on her.

still have a chance!

Kitahara Sora's eyes lit up, and he loosened the spear in his hand while swinging violently, dodging the queen's sharp claws. The moment he fell to the ground, he quickly rushed towards Yukino, and with the strength of only one leg, he pushed hard on the ground, flew into the air, and pounced towards the tunnel entrance.

Xueno happily opened her arms to welcome Kitahara Sora who was flying from the air, and caught him! It didn't matter if his ribs were broken!

But her stiff smile was still on her face, and her pupils were immediately filled with despair.

She saw that Beiyuan Kong's body paused in the air, and a thick tailbone suddenly stretched out from behind him and pierced his chest. Beiyuan Kong's body stagnated in the air and was immediately thrown away. Blood gushed out like a fountain, and the ground with him as the radius seemed to be raining blood.

The Queen ignored Kitahara Sora who was pierced by it. Enduring the wound on its neck, it still rushed towards Yukino. It didn't want to let any of its prey escape!

Yukino slowly closed her eyes, and gently pressed the switch with her palm. A huge pulling force came... The violent impact caused the rapidly rising skateboard to jump suddenly. The queen's huge head blocked the tunnel entrance tightly, and its retractable mouthparts showed its unwillingness and anger.

"Have we abandoned the Captain?"

Kato Megumi had woken up at some point and watched Kitahara Sora being pierced by the Queen's thick tailbone and thrown out in the air. The Queen's hideous head blocked the hole, and then her sight was pulled away. Her voice was flat, but revealed infinite sadness.

"We didn't abandon him."

Xueno's voice was cold, but revealed an unquestionable firmness: "Believe in him, he won't die!"

"Really?" Kato Megumi grabbed the skateboard handle tightly and looked up diagonally: "Even if the captain dies, the queen will crawl out from underground, right? None of us can escape, right?"

Even if the captain escapes with us, the queen will still catch up. If he has to distract himself to take care of us after going up, will it hinder his battle?

So that's why he chose to stay and give it a try...

Senior Yukinoshita has also been waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the opportunity to evacuate together, but what a pity.

Yukino didn't answer her, so the girl continued to ask, "Are Yukinoshita-senpai and the captain in a relationship?"

Xueno still didn't answer her, but a strong sadness welled up in her heart. My lover, does this world allow us to have a love relationship? Is that idiot really unable to perceive my feelings, or is he pretending not to know?

He seemed to treat me as his sister, so no matter how shy or embarrassed I was accidentally, he would never think about it that way.

Even though I played a lot of dating games in my previous life and conquered a lot of cute girls in the game world, I still wouldn't think about it that way. When will this world end? If so, I will also be able to muster up the courage to boldly express my feelings, right?

...That idiot.

Tears rolled down Yukino's eyes, and the observer's cold team announcement came to her mind.

"Captain of the 'Izumo Team': Kitahara Sora, confirmed dead. The captain position is vacant. Once the surviving members return to the game space, they will be allowed to re-elect the captain."

0 Chapter 29 Hui

Yukino and Kato Megumi climbed up from the skateboard and were still stunned by the scene in front of them. A dozen 'sandbags' were hung upside down on the exposed beams outside the whaling station, hanging in the air like hunted penguins. The cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew these ice-covered 'sandbags' from side to side.

These frozen upside-down objects looked particularly eerie under the light source set up by the scientific expedition team, but... they were not actually sandbags, but scientific expedition personnel caught up by Kitahara Sora...

Is there anything more frightening than seeing so many corpses of the same kind? They were still alive and swaying in front of their eyes a few hours ago. Now this sharp contrast can arouse the greatest fear of human beings. It is not the horror of the aliens, but the chill from the bottom of their hearts.

Maybe Yukino has gotten 'accustomed' to it, as she had seen worse situations in previous games, but Kato Megumi began to tremble slightly. She couldn't help but hug Yukino's arms tightly, her mind a mess.

Sebastian, who had just put down his skateboard and walked to the door, noticed them and shouted loudly inside. Then Woods also rushed out. She looked very emotionally unstable and was a little collapsed after seeing this tragic scene. She must have just cried.

Sebastian was about to speak when he walked in, but Yukino's cold voice beat him to the punch: "Whose body is that hugged by the alien at the tunnel entrance?"

"Uh... Mr. Hisata." The archaeologist was stunned, and then explained in a heavy tone: "We are waiting for your triumphant return in the cave outside the pyramid. Um... an alien..."

Yukino nodded, pulled out the hand that Kato Megumi was holding and raised it, interrupting Sebastian. She glanced at the two people who looked depressed and set their eyes on the wooden house behind them, paused and continued: "Are Komuro Takashi and Goda Takeo injured?"

"The big guy is losing too much blood. He's dying."

Yukino focused her eyes on Woods, raised her hand, and a roll of white bandage appeared in her hand. She threw it to Woods expressionlessly and explained, "This bandage is more effective than the usual ones. Whether he can survive depends on his luck."

She took a deep look at the girl in front of her, who was as cold as frost. She was at least ten years younger than her, but her mental age seemed older than her. At least she couldn't be so calm when facing death. What had she been through? Woods nodded vigorously, picked up the bandage and ran back.

Only after she entered the cabin did Sebastian turn his gaze to Yukino again. Her left shoulder was covered with frost, and the moment the bright red blood seeped out, it was instantly frozen. Although from the outside one could only see a round blood clot outside her winter clothing, the real situation must have been terrible.

Her exposed slender palm had swollen to a crimson-purple color, which was the result of blood blockage. If it was only the ribs that were injured, her arm should have been able to move at first, but now half of her body should have been necrotic, and she might even be in critical condition.

But the child squatted down without changing his expression, and his palms swept across the snow. Various explosives lay quietly on the snow.

"No need to look, Mr. Sebastian. I didn't have time to use a bandage when I was injured, so this is the only way to stop the bleeding temporarily. Now there are only three of us who can move. The queen is not dead yet, and she should reach the surface within a minute."

Just as he finished speaking, the snow behind him began to tremble violently, and the queen's familiar roar came from underground. The dull sound was particularly harsh in the howling cold wind.

Yukino pointed at the bazooka launcher on the ground and looked up at the archaeologist: "There are three shells in total. This item is the most powerful item I have at the moment. My shoulder is injured, so I can only give it to you. Do you know how to use it? Well, I'll leave it to you later."

Then she grabbed three grenades and handed them to Kato Megumi. Her tone was calm, but her words chilled Kato Megumi's heart: "Hold the safety buckle and pull the ring, and it will explode if you throw it out. If the safety buckle doesn't pop out and you put the ring back in, it won't explode either. So if Kato is unfortunately caught by the Queen, if it wants to eat you, throw the grenade into its mouth."

After Yukino finished speaking, she set her sights on the remaining three grenades. After thinking for a moment, she took back the ring and took out her UMP9 submachine gun and handed it to Kato Megumi: "This gun probably won't do any harm to the queen, but it might attract her attention. This is the safety, and this switch is to adjust the firing mode."

She turned her gaze to the only two Molotov cocktails left on the ground and sighed deeply, a feeling of powerlessness filling her body and mind.

I threw three of them at it when I was in the Queen's cage, and the alien was burned to death. Maybe it was designed to be extremely harmful and have very low defense, or maybe it was still in the incubation stage, so it was burned to death smoothly. It was a blessing.

But this thing has no effect on the Queen. When this flammable liquid is burned out and the flames are extinguished, the Queen's chest is still intact. The charred alien corpse at the entrance of the tunnel proves that Molotov cocktails are lethal to ordinary aliens. It is so strong that it does not seem like a living creature. Is its exoskeleton stronger than metal?

"Senior Yukinoshita..."

Kato Megumi squatted down, stretched out her hands and put them around Yukino's neck, gently rubbed Yukino's face, and her eyes became red. She was not such a flamboyant person, but she had experienced too much during this period of time, or for a sixteen-year-old girl, it was already good enough that she didn't go crazy.

The ground was shaking, as if something was hitting the vast earth from the bottom, and the ice and snow covering the surface of the ice was also jumping and undulating.

Yukino gently pushed Kato Megumi away, stared at her face seriously, and said softly: "Kato-san, maybe this is our last moment."

The girl opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, the senior's voice came again. Although her tone was flat, her voice was soft. In this bitterly cold environment, Kato Megumi even felt that a warm bonfire was rising in front of her eyes. The beautiful senior with a scar on her face was so dazzling.

"In fact, there is no sentence in the world that can make you realize the truth, enlighten you, wake you up from a dream, and make you grow up quickly. Only an unforgettable experience can make you grow up quickly." She laughed at herself, gently held the hand of her junior, shook her head helplessly and sighed: "More than a month ago, I was just an ordinary high school student like you, but I came to this world, I experienced the ups and downs of life and death several times, experienced endless darkness, and also gained redemption."

"I should have died a month ago, but I was saved again and again. In the end, I lost hope of living, but I also succeeded in finding myself again."

"In all the years I've lived, I never thought death would be so close to me, just like you now." She imitated Kitahara Sora, patted Kato Megumi's shoulder vigorously, and said with a smile: "No one wants to be 'chosen', but all we can do is try our best to survive until we leave this world. The reason I chose to save you is because Kitahara-kun gave the core to you. He didn't abandon you because I risked my life to save you, and because he and I have unreserved trust in each other."

"You don't have to thank us. If you can survive and 'grow up' quickly, that would be the greatest gratitude to us, so..." Yukino squeezed her shoulder hard. Although there was blood, the wound had been completely healed. She had successfully strengthened herself: "So, if you managed to survive, it's not something to be praised. In my opinion, you are not qualified to be a teammate, but I hope you can quickly face the reality."

"I'm luckier than you. I have ninety days to grow up, but you are different. I don't have so much time to grow up. I don't want to see you trembling with fear again. Close your eyes and feel the changes in your body with your heart."

Sebastian also sighed softly, and after carrying the RPG on his shoulder, he freed one hand and took out a pendant from his chest. It was called a pendant, but it was actually a Coca-Cola bottle cap, which he dug out from an ancient Egyptian tomb a week ago. He successfully got himself fired because of this "antique", so it was considered a valuable archaeological discovery?

The earth began to tremble, and the ice in the distance erupted and cracked like a volcano. The queen's pitch-black head emerged from the ice, with half of a broken iron spear still stuck in its neck. Except for the head, its entire body was cracked by shoulder cannon fire. It jumped up from the ground, pointed its huge head at Yukino and the other two, and rushed over with a scream.

Yukino rushed forward, holding a grenade tightly in her hand. She bit the pull ring with her neat and white teeth and quickened her pace to sprint forward.

Come to think of it, I have always relied on you, but now I can no longer rely on you...

An RPG rocket whizzed past her head with a long exhaust gas, and a violent explosion broke out on the Queen's chest, leaving a small gap in the already cracked bone armor. After countless shoulder cannon bombardments, it might have become fragile.

A fist-sized piece of tender flesh in the center of the spider web crack was exposed to the air. The Queen wailed, but it still couldn't stop her from charging. Continuous gunshots rang out, and countless sparks came out of the Queen's body. Kato Megumi went around to the side, and the muzzle of the UMP9 spit out fierce flames.

The nine-millimeter bullets hitting the Queen's hard exoskeleton were almost like tickling, but occasionally a few bullets would hit the wounds of its broken forelimbs or the gaps between its bones, still causing a few disgusting yellow flowers of blood.

Kato Megumi held the trigger tightly with tears in her eyes. She saw Yukino's weak body rushing towards the huge terror like a mountain. Her height barely exceeded the Queen's leg joints, as if this huge monster could crush this weak ant with just one foot. This sharp contrast even gave her an extremely tragic emotion.

They slowly approached and intersected, and amid the Queen's roar of pain and anger, the gunfire stopped and Yukino had already rushed in front of it.

She rushed to the Queen's feet, then turned swiftly, as gracefully as a ballet dancer on ice. The Queen's sharp tailbone passed by her waist, and after a cut was made on her winter clothing, Yukino quickly lowered her head while spinning, and the thick tail swept over her head.

Their movements are smooth and natural, just like the martial arts stars in the movies, who have rehearsed their moves countless times.

Listening to the whistling of the wind beside her ears, Yukino became calmer.

It's like this, it will stab with its tail first, and if it misses, it can change to a sweep depending on the structure of its body.

This is the most common continuous attack for creatures like them, but after you sweep it, you must return your tail to continue attacking, otherwise you will not be able to maintain balance. No matter how fantastical a creature you are, you still cannot escape the constraints of mechanics and body structure. You can't change your body structure in an instant like a Transformer, right?

So next you will definitely lean down and attack with your teeth or mouthparts, so...

Yukino's body center continued to lower, and she rolled forward sideways. The Queen's huge head had already leaned down, and when Yukino came under its crotch, the Queen's one-meter-long mouthparts were retracted from the snow.

So, I'm already under you, and my motor nerves are actually pretty good...

A deep blue light appeared in her pupils, and she suddenly jumped up, stepping her right foot on the Queen's joint to gain leverage and leaping upward. The hand holding the grenade penetrated deeply into the wound on the Queen's chest caused by the RPG explosion. The soft flesh and blood had no bones to protect it, and even being penetrated with bare hands made the Queen scream in pain.

The moment Yukino inserted her entire wrist into its chest, a deep blue light of ice-melting flashed by at the intersection.

But its sturdy forelimbs also tightly grasped Yukino's slender body in its claws. In an instant, a huge force was squeezed, and the crisp sound of bones breaking was heard. But after just a "click", the queen's front paws seemed to suddenly hold nothing, and with the sudden contraction of its claws, the prey had disappeared in front of it.

There was another violent explosion in the chest, this time with flesh and blood all over the sky blooming like fireworks, the scattered flesh and blood fell on the snow and emitted green smoke. Countless pungent smoke columns rose from the ground around it, looking extremely spectacular. An even more shrill scream came from the Queen's mouth,

A gap about 20 centimeters in diameter was blown open in its entire chest cavity, and its internal organs kept wriggling, looking hideous and terrifying at first glance.

Yukino lay quietly on the open ground thirty meters away from the queen, a trace of blood dripping from the corner of her mouth, her chest heaving violently, her left arm, which had lost the ability to move, was crushed, the frost on her shoulder turned into powder, and the wet blood overflowed again.

A fingernail-sized piece of flesh splashed on her chest, and it quickly melted and expanded like fiber cloth encountering flames. Yukino struggled to get up, but before she could stand up she fell down powerlessly. The snow-white surface of the ice was stained with a touch of bright red, like a winter plum blossom blooming in the wind in the pure white world, sad and stubborn.

At this time, Kato Megumi ran in front of her. She bit her lips tightly, sniffed hard with tears in her eyes, and quickly dragged the senior away from the "dangerous distance" while holding back her sobs. Then she quickly took off her winter clothes and threw them aside, then she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the inner layer of warm sweater had not been corroded yet!

"Help me smash it!"

Yukino raised her right hand with difficulty, then placed it flat on the snow.

Her right hand was covered with a thick layer of yellow ice at this time. In fact, before holding the grenade, Yukino's palm was already covered with a thin layer of frost. The moment she stuffed the grenade into the queen's chest, she had released the safety shrapnel. The elemental power gathered in the palm of her hand, immediately freezing the queen's highly corrosive blood.

Its blood will corrode any object it comes into contact with, but if the liquid is completely frozen to death, it will not have the ability to corrode. Moreover, her palm already had a layer of protective film before this. This delicate operation successfully prevented Yukino's entire palm from being corroded.

Kato Megumi gritted her teeth, nodded vigorously, raised the butt of the UMP9 and smashed it towards Yukino's palm.

One, two, three...click!

The ice shattered, and Yukino moved her red, frozen hands, then raised them again.

The icy blue light reappeared, and she pressed the biting cold palm against her left shoulder. The blood quickly coagulated, and she gritted her teeth and trembled all over. She did not cry out despite the severe pain and biting coldness. Cold sweat and tears intertwined, and before they could slide down her smooth face, they had already condensed into crystal clear diamond flowers.

Kato Megumi's lips couldn't stop trembling slightly, and it felt heartbreaking to see it.

She opened her mouth and murmured, wanting to say something but her senior student beat her to it. She forced a smile and a weak voice came out of her mouth: "In the last trial, I was actually relying on the captain. Without him, I might have gone 'G, G' right from the start. Do you know what 'G, G' means?"

The girl shook her head slowly. Xue Noi smiled and continued to explain: "G, G is the abbreviation of 'Good game' in English. When the game is over, the loser politely congratulates and appreciates the opponent, and also expresses his willingness to accept the defeat. Later, this courtesy abbreviation slowly changed its meaning, representing the end and death, and representing ridicule and teasing... Maybe if it weren't for him, I might have announced that my game was over at the beginning of the last game."

"So, compared to the captain, I am still far behind. We are just poor creatures trying to struggle to survive. The pain at least proves that I am still alive. Being alive is hope, isn't it? Don't give up hope."

The silent girl understood what Yukino meant. When a person cannot feel pain, it means that he is really in danger of death. Pain is a warning from the brain to itself, telling itself that it is in danger and that it needs to take countermeasures or stop a certain behavior immediately.

If you can no longer feel pain, then it is meaningless for your brain to let you feel pain. Doing so will only make your life pass faster, so it will make two choices: either go into shock and coma, or block the pain nerves, which is actually the most fatal. The senior student told herself that she could still hold on.

Kato Megumi nodded slightly, she turned her head to look at the screaming queen, and Sebastian had already fired the second RPG round, aiming at the wound on the queen's chest.

She took off her clothes, put them on Yukino, zipped them up, took a deep breath, and said softly, "Captain, Yukinoshita-senpai, they are both amazing people."

"So, Kato-san, you're not scared anymore?"

She took out the grenade, looked at it, and put it back into her pocket, then curled the corners of her lips and smiled at the senior.

She looked not far away again and looked at the Alien Queen seriously.

The moment Sebastian's second rocket hit the queen, its strong tail swung out accurately, it lowered its body, a violent explosion sounded above its head, it straightened its huge body, looked at the two girls snuggling together, and rushed towards Sebastian, who posed the greatest threat to it at the moment.
