There is something wrong with my infinite flow teammates!

"You didn't just come here suddenly..."

"Shut up!"

Yukino's eyes were still red, and the blush and tears on her cheeks had not faded. She looked at Kitahara Sora, who had returned to normal, and put away her angry expression. After a moment of silence, she forced herself to take a deep breath and asked in confusion: "The observer gave me a team prompt, saying that it has been confirmed that you have died and your position as captain has been relieved, so I assume that you no longer meet the conditions for resurrection at that time."

Her cold expression suddenly changed, and a sweet smile appeared on her lips as if spring had blossomed: "But you always bring me surprises."

Kitahara Sora looked at the severe frozen wound on the girl's left shoulder, then shifted his gaze to her perfect but somewhat haggard face. He reached out and gently wiped away the tears from her cheek. She must have deep feelings for him, right? Even though we have only been together for less than two months, has he already become an important person to her?

Suddenly, a feeling of honor and guilt spread in my heart. My behavior was a bit rash. She was actually a very sentimental person. As her teammate and closest... friend? Companion? Brother?

still is……

Beiyuan Kong forced himself to shake off the anger and annoyance in his heart. Now was not the time to discuss such things. He sighed deeply and explained, "I was actually quite surprised. I didn't know the situation very well at the time. I only felt strange after I woke up... The queen's tailbone pierced my chest. What is certain is that it almost shattered my heart, so I should not be able to be resurrected."

After hearing Kitahara Sora's explanation, Yukino subconsciously put her hands on her chest, feeling a sharp pain in her heart. The scene that made her feel suffocated not long ago flashed through her mind, and her pupils sparkled and the water waves flickered again. Before the queen climbed out of the ruins of the pyramid, Kitahara Sora was actually at the end of his strength.

When he was escaping from the pyramid with Yukino on his back, they ran to the edge of the outer wall. When Kitahara Sora used his shoulder cannon to blast the wall, they were too close and a huge rock flew towards him, directly crushing his chest. That was a fatal injury, and Yukino, who was behind him, was hurt by the strong penetrating force.

In fact, he had automatically activated the last 30 seconds of his bloodline's desperate mode at that moment, and then he dragged the two girls off the pyramid and broke his leg bones.

He told Yukino to leave quickly, and the blood that was flowing like a small waterfall around the edge of his mask showed that most of his ribs had been completely inserted into his lungs, and he forced himself to take a deep breath and shout, causing the blood to flow back directly and come out of his mouth.

It can be said that even if he did not suffer any more damage after those thirty seconds, he would probably fall into a coma or be able to be resurrected directly. However, he chose to use the last thirty seconds of his life to give it a try, delaying the queen in order to buy time for Yukino to retreat.

This is what ultimately led to the loss of important organs in the body, causing observers to conclude that resurrection was impossible.

"I am lucky. My bloodline was upgraded when I was thrown out by the queen, so I was forced to continue my life."

Kitahara Sora curled his lips indifferently. Perhaps seeing Yukino's emotions towards him, he felt uncomfortable too. He wanted to suppress the annoyance in his heart and started to talk nonsense: "I think this kind of bloodline should not have the ability to revive when it is upgraded, but I just happened to retain a chance of revival. It was a fluke that I got stuck with a system bug, so I think I made a profit, hehe, I took advantage of the observer."

Because when Beiyuan Kong suddenly woke up after doing that, although his body felt the same, it was certain that his body had not been repaired at that time, and it was still horrible, but at that time his bloodline had actually been upgraded, and he was preparing for the body replacement. Then his mind prompted his brain area to unlock again, and his whole body began to burn, burning all his flesh and blood organs into ashes, and then tempering his bones again, so he came back to life.

"So, the Spartan demon bloodline from the lowest level D to level C should be a threshold, allowing me to officially change from a human physique to a demon body. Now the race column on my attribute page no longer shows human."

"Kitahara-kun means that your bloodline upgrade does not meet the conditions for resurrection, but the upgrade process requires the death of the body, right?" Yukino frowned and thought for a while, then continued, "That is to say, if you upgrade under normal conditions, even if you replace your body, you are not really dead, but enter a state of pseudo-death. So your bloodline changes you from a state of true death to a state of pseudo-death, and you have the conditions for resurrection once, so you survived by chance?"

"I guess so. At that moment I was actually completely dead, otherwise the observer would not have issued a team announcement of the captain's death."

Beiyuan Kong narrowed his eyes: "This is why the system did not give any punishment prompts after I confirmed his death when I killed Da He Taiyang, because he met the conditions for resurrection..."

As he was talking, Kitahara Sora suddenly froze, and the girl in front of him shed tears again. She expressionlessly slapped away Kitahara Sora's hand that wanted to wipe her tears, her face serious, and her tone calm and cold: "So, this is the last time, Kitahara-kun."

"What last time?"

"Please don't be so reckless again." Yukino turned her face to the side, suppressing a hint of anger in her tone: "Do you think I will be happy if you do this? You just delayed my death a little bit, but... it's meaningless."

But didn’t you almost pass the mission?

"I know. Sorry."

Kitahara Sora felt warm in his heart and instantly understood Yukino's little emotions. She just hoped that he would not be so reckless for her next time. Although she spoke very harshly and seemed angry, she was actually blaming himself for not valuing his own life.

"It's not meaningless. You guys can hold on even without me. Although I don't know how the queen died, I found a piece of Ironblood on the ground that was eaten with only its limbs and head left. If it hadn't been for the Ironblood acting as a power bank for the queen, it would have been powerless to save the situation."

When Yukino heard Kitahara Sora's apology, she was stunned for a moment, and the anger in her heart disappeared.

Suddenly he smiled and shook his head, explaining: "Kitahara-kun overestimated us. It was not us who killed the queen. Kato and I only injured it. It was the Iron-blooded Warrior who really killed it."

Xueno's tone was suddenly filled with regret, a kind of helplessness of being disappointed with someone: "But he underestimated the Queen's vitality."

So that's how it is? Kitahara Sora frowned, glanced at the broken limbs of Tiexue behind him, and said softly: "At least you still made an effort, which is worthy of praise. Yukino also did not give up in despair after thinking that I was dead, which is worthy of admiration."

Kitahara Sora put his hand on Yukino's head and rubbed it again, but this time the girl did not refuse. She just paused and wanted to speak but did not say anything in the end.

Actually, I wanted to see if there was a chance to avenge you, but unfortunately I was still too weak. Maybe I wanted to divert my attention and not dwell on this matter anymore. Yukino suddenly said, "Actually, Kato is really good. If it weren't for her..."

At this point, the two were stunned and finally remembered that the girl was still sitting on the snow.

So they all turned their heads to look at Kato Megumi who was not far behind them, and walked over quickly at the same time.

The girl sat in the snow, watching the two of them with a gloomy gaze. After a while, she complained, "Captain, Yukinoshita-senpai, it's still very cold sitting in the snow, but I really can't bear to interrupt you."

Her teeth were chattering, she was trembling all over as she hugged her arms, and she stammered to Kitahara Sora, "And I gave my clothes to Yukinoshita-senpai. It's about minus twenty degrees Celsius now. I plan to shout for help in ten seconds no matter what, because even if I have strengthened my body, I think I will be frozen to death in this environment in ten seconds at most."

The corners of Kitahara Sora's mouth twitched, and suddenly a feeling of guilt and embarrassment spread.

It's her. Just like in the anime, as long as you are not alone with her, she won't have much desire to speak, because many times even if she takes the initiative to speak, she will easily be ignored.

But whenever she opened her mouth, she would either hit the nail on the head or become an emotionless complaining machine. Even if she was shivering from the cold, she still kept an expressionless face. But such a light sentence made people feel uncomfortable all over, as if they had done something wrong. Oh yes, it seems that they really ignored her.

Yukino's expression was also a little embarrassed. She quickly took out a thick piece of clothing from the ring and put it on herself. Then she glared at Kitahara Sora fiercely, which made him speechless again. "By the way, didn't you forget about her just now? Xuediocuo, what qualifications do you have to glare at me?"

I was about to speak, but the observer's belated reminder finally rang through my mind.

"The mission character Woods survives. This plot is complete. Do you choose to return to the game space? Since the captain position is vacant, please choose whether to return by your own team members."

"If there is no response within ten seconds, you will be forcibly deported. 10, 9, 8..."

Can I go back now? Do I need to make an active choice like last time?

The three of them looked at each other and saw a hint of joy in each other's eyes. Although Kato Megumi's face still didn't show much expression, a hint of excitement could even be seen in her eyes.

Just when Kitahara Kong was about to make a choice, an anxious voice suddenly came from a wooden house not far away. Sebastian dragged his weak body to open the door, rushed out and fell in the snow. Woods' roar also came from behind him with Sebastian's drastic movements.

"No! Wait! Don't go back yet!"

Kitahara Sora looked at the frail archaeologist in confusion. He looked very weak, as could be seen from his winter clothes that were completely stained red. He must have lost a lot of weight during the time when he was away. There were two large symmetrical holes on both sides of his clothes at the waist, which should have been pierced by the Queen's tail.

Although it's not fatal, you can still move with such an injury? Didn't your kidneys get hurt? I mean, your vitality is a bit too strong.

Since he already knows the truth about the world, has the observer put the information about repairing his body into his mind? Why is he suddenly so emotional?

He quickly ran to Kitahara Sora, and fell straight down in the snow. He quickly got up and shouted anxiously: "Don't go back, there is no danger for the time being, please believe me!"

Seeing this, Yukino quickly said to Kitahara Sora, "He is a druid. He just turned into a giant bear and dueled with the queen, so he was seriously injured."

It turned out to be a T. Kitahara Sora nodded after hearing this. Although he didn't know what Sebastian was thinking, he still silently chose the negative option in his heart and said to Yukino and Kato Megumi: "You go back for treatment first, I'll stay."

After getting the observer's response in his mind, more than ten seconds later, Kitahara Sora found that Yukino and Kato Megumi were still in front of him, and he couldn't help but frowned. The girl smiled and shook her head: "We came here together, of course we have to go back together."

"Um... Captain, could you please help me up? Even though I'm wearing a coat, the ground is still too cold." Kato Megumi asked with a bitter face.

If she chooses to go back, what is the game space? There are still many things she doesn't know. Even if the captain says it is an absolutely safe place, the girl who has been worried for so long can't help but think of the worst. What if something unexpected happens?

It is safest to stay with the captain, so in the last second countdown, Kato Megumi gritted her teeth and chose to stay for the time being.

Kitahara Sora looked at the two girls helplessly and suddenly felt a headache, but the observer's reminder came to his mind again and made him feel relieved.

"The side quest is not completed. You are allowed to stay in the alien world temporarily. During this period, the player Beiyuankong is allowed to return at any time. After returning, you cannot return to the world of this quest again. The side quest will be invalidated."

Sebastian heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Kitahara Sora and the others were still there, and collapsed on the snow. After Woods helped him up, Kitahara Sora followed the archaeologist's gaze and looked up at the sky.

Although I knew the plot, I was still shocked by the scene in front of me.

Above the gray sky, ripples flashed in the sky, countless searchlights lit up, and a huge space battleship emerged from its invisible state.

Suddenly, I felt as if a continent was floating above my head. Just by looking up at the bottom of the battleship, I roughly estimated that it was as large as at least four football fields combined.

The shape is simple but full of technology. It is the iron-blooded battleship that appears at the end of the movie, but it has been enlarged several times.

Is this a flagship?

0 Chapter 35 Hometown

The indicator lights on the bottom of the warship that blocked out the sun kept flashing, and the process of its slow descent was like the vast sky slowly pressing down, which made people feel a huge shock and oppression in their hearts.

Kitahara Kong's heart was pounding. He hoped that they had no ill intentions. If things developed in the worst direction, he and his people would definitely not be able to resist.

Yukino and I knew the plot. In the movie, the Iron Blood battleship appeared immediately after the Queen was dragged to the bottom of the sea, but the plot here has changed. They only appeared because everyone chose to stay.

Then this battleship must be bound to the side quest. After entering the alien copy, the quest was automatically activated since Yukino revived Sebastian, but the quest prompt has always been a mystery, with question marks showing on everything. But when he learned the truth about the Iron-Blooded Civilization, the observer actually gave each person an extra reward of 1000 points.

This means that the final reward for this side quest should be unimaginably generous, and it should be considered an epic quest.

So after killing the queen, the observer gave a hint to return and Beiyuan Kong planned to go back without thinking, because one core was only one thousand points, and after getting the extra reward, he had actually made a lot of money.

Let's not talk about the rest of the mission. We don't know the specific content. Even if we know it, what can we do? With the current team's ability, this is an impossible option, so the observer has no penalty for this mission, and even the choice of whether to do it or not is given to the reincarnation.

As for why he stayed, Kitahara Sora actually wanted to see what Sebastian was planning. From the character setting in the movie, it can be seen that he is not a bad person, and he has already become a member of the team. The most important thing is that Yukino's last words made Kitahara Sora choose to stay for the time being without hesitation.

He was matched with a Druid, a profession that Bei Yuankong wanted the most. No hunter could refuse a Druid. No one! When Bei Yuankong was playing games before, he would occasionally fantasize about how great it would be if he could catch a Druid as a baby. It could heal, resist, output, and control!

Sebastian looked anxious. He assured us that there was no danger. How did he know that there was no danger? Did he know more than us, or was there some other reason?

Kitahara Sora frowned slightly, unable to get an answer, but he believed that this person would not have any bad intentions.

He withdrew his gaze from the battleship above his head, bent down to help Kato Hui, who was still in a daze on the ground, up, and squatted in front of her. The girl cooperated and lay on the captain's back. Her buttocks were numb from the cold...

"You know something, now you can tell it all."

With the help of Woods, Sebastian climbed up with great difficulty, then slowly walked towards the body of the Iron Blood, took off the two arm guards on his wrists, put them on his own hands, then took off the helmet on his head and put it on his own head before turning his face to Kitahara Sora and said apologetically: "Sorry, Captain, I actually don't know anything."

When he said this, even Kato Megumi widened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief, not to mention Yukino's frowning brows. The girl was obviously a little angry.

"Mr. Sebastian, you should have known that it only took us ten seconds to leave. This was a pleasant surprise for us, but the captain chose to trust you and decided to stay. Is this your answer to him?"

Seeing Yukino's slightly raised brows, Sebastian gave another apologetic smile, but no one could see it because he was wearing a helmet.

"Please allow me to apologize again, Ms. Yukinoshita. I would like to explain clearly, but here they come..."

The battleship was hovering in the air fifty meters above the ground. Although this distance was not too high, its huge size still made everyone feel as if the sky was falling and they wanted to escape immediately. The hatch of the ship was opened and leaned on the snow, and the neat formation of the iron-blooded army came into view.

They were wearing standard armor, holding spears and standing in neat formation, full of coldness and murderousness. Just from the fact that their formation was like a replica of a large army, it could be seen that this army was absolutely disciplined, and it even made Bei Yuankong feel the solemnity of the army of his motherland in his previous life!

This is definitely not the army that a race that advocates "barbarism" and killing should have as described in the movies!

The leader was a tall Ironblood wearing a dark red cape. Unlike the other Ironbloods, he did not wear a helmet and his appearance was slightly different. The forehead of this Ironblood was not flat and smooth, but covered with small and hard scales protruding outward. He had eyebrows, which were hard bone spurs growing backwards, which made Kitahara Sora, who did not have trypophobia, feel a little scared.

The most important thing is that the dreadlocks on his head look much thicker than those of other Iron Bloods, and the length even reaches his waist. Just from his appearance, the information tells everyone that he is very strong and very old, and his age is inestimable...

Although he had seen this leader at the end of the movie, the shock he felt when he stood in front of him was not something that could be portrayed on the screen. A strong sense of uneasiness and danger suddenly arose in Kitahara Sora's heart, and he couldn't help but start the battle mode. His dark hair suddenly turned white, his pupils turned crimson, and the demonic energy in his body that had almost been exhausted also began to boil slightly.

Even though they were more than ten meters apart, this powerful sense of oppression made Beiyuan Kong feel that he was extremely dangerous, countless times more dangerous than Scar. He should be able to crush the Queen. Perhaps he could only fight him to a draw if he activated his demon form.

"Elder level."

When Kitahara Sora whispered these three words, Woods had already supported Sebastian and walked over.

Although he looked very weak, his fearless aura still made Kitahara Sora give him a thumbs up. Perhaps he was sure that the other party had no bad intentions? But the explorer who supported him was a little timid. It was not until the two sides came face to face that Woods seemed to be relieved and his expression calmed down.

"They seem to be talking?"

Although they were more than ten meters away, Sebastian's slightly muffled voice could still be heard from under the mask. Seeing the elder nodding from time to time, looking over here and then at the human in front of him, making meaningless roars, Yukino took a small step closer to Kitahara Sora and whispered hesitantly in his ear, "Can they communicate?"

"The archaeologists were communicating with him in hieroglyphics."

Kitahara Sora's hearing was much better than Yukino's. After listening carefully, he found that Sebastian uttered obscure and ancient syllables. He thought for a moment and continued to explain: "The text in the pyramid was taught to the ancient humans by Iron Blood, so they should be able to understand it. Iron Blood's helmet has a built-in translation function, so Sebastian should be able to understand what Iron Blood meant."

The equipment of Iron Blood can also be used by Reincarnators. This is a convenience provided by the Observers. Their texts will be automatically translated into the text they are most familiar with. Under normal circumstances, the plot characters should not be able to understand and use it, but Sebastian has left this world and joined the player camp, so the Observers naturally gave him this right.

Then he also saw Kitahara Sora appear in front of him wearing the Iron Blood mask, which made him put on the mask and equipment as soon as the Iron Blood fleet appeared.

So, what is his purpose?

Just when Kitahara Sora was confused, Yukino nudged Kitahara Sora with her elbow, signaling him to look forward. Sebastian had already finished communicating with the elder, and the two stood side by side, looking over here, and the meaning was obvious, they wanted Kitahara Sora to come over.

"I'll go over." Kitahara Sora glanced at Yukino beside him, squatted down slightly, and tried to put Kato Megumi down, but the girl's arms tightened slightly. When he was confused, Yukino explained softly: "Let's go together. Even if there is any danger, we can't escape. Ten seconds is enough for them to wipe us out."

"I agree with Yukinoshita-senpai's decision."

Looking at the determined expressions of the two girls, Kitahara Sora had no choice but to carry Kato Megumi on his back and walk towards the Iron-Blooded Army. When he met the elder face to face, Kitahara Sora discovered that Woods' eyes seemed to be red again, as if he was suppressing great sadness.

"The leader hopes to gain the power of life." Sebastian took off his helmet and said something to Bei Yuankong without thinking. His tone became a little hesitant and awkward: "This will help the development of their tribe. Um... they have been observing us."

"What do you mean?"

After hearing the inexplicable words from the archaeologist, Bei Yuankong was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He glanced at the fierce and curious-looking iron-blooded elder in front of him and asked in confusion: "Do they fully understand the details of our stay in the pyramid?"

"That's right, Captain." Sebastian smiled bitterly and continued to explain, "They fully observed the miracle of my life recovering instantly after being corrupted, and they also clearly saw how you hunted their people, but they didn't care about that. The weak don't deserve to continue living, and only strong warriors can win honor. In other words, you actually won their respect, so the leader wanted to negotiate with you."

Focusing his eyes on the Iron-blooded Elder, Bei Yuankong put away his hostility and his hair returned to its normal black color, because after getting close to him, the sense of oppression brought by the elders disappeared. At least they did not have any malicious intent. The elder tilted his head slightly as if he was very interested in the changes in the human in front of him, and the four fangs on his cheeks trembled irregularly.

Kitahara Sora fell silent. He thought they could only see thermal imaging images on the battleship, but they could actually see the details clearly? Perhaps their technology even surpassed the setting in the movie, so it was not surprising that they were curious about the secret of Sebastian and Kato Megumi's recovery. So the side quest was actually a transaction?

If that's the case, then this reward is too easy, isn't it? It's like a free gift, which doesn't fit the style of the Observer.

After thinking for a moment, Kitahara Sora raised his head and said to Sebastian, "Please tell the leader what he wants."

Hearing Bei Yuankong's words, Sebastian put on his helmet again and turned to communicate with the elder. After a moment, he suddenly became a little embarrassed, as if the other party had made an excessive request. He turned his gaze to Bei Yuankong, hesitated for a moment, and then said hesitantly: "They want to study the evolution core."

"???"

Not only Kitahara Sora was stunned, but even Yukino and Kato Megumi were stunned. Is this a plot character NPC? This is a world created by the observer. When he heard that they wanted to obtain the power of life, Kitahara Sora's first reaction was that they were interested in his own transformation ability, or Yukino's elemental control ability.

It's all too real that they actually wanted this thing, just like how Deadpool often has extra-dimensional conversations with the audience outside the screen.
