Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

…It’s a wonderful experience to be able to talk to the dead.

Su Ruoli shook her head: "I don't believe in fate. I think everyone's destiny is in their own hands and cannot be tampered with by others."

Bai Yu paused briefly, then clapped his hands and praised, "Very good... Maintain this optimistic and positive attitude, and don't let the despair before you consume your mind."

"So-called fate is but a sleeping slave. You believe that man can conquer nature... As long as you have this will, I will do my best."

"We are now in the same boat. We are destined to share life and death for a short time. Please take care of me, Miss Su Ruoli."

Chapter 38: Strategy Failed

"If you can find the shadow of your childhood sweetheart, maybe you can find a way out."

Bai Yu said simply.

"shadow?"

"Yes, he has aphrodisiac syndrome, so the shadow should stay here."

"How to find this?"

"Take your time to search." Bai Yu looked at Su Ruoli: "You don't lack this kind of patience, right? And you also plan to rescue people slowly."

"...Yes." Su Ruoli quickly calmed down: "You are right. Since we want to save her, we must do it thoroughly. I don't plan to escape alone."

Hearing this, Bai Yu did not appreciate it much, but instead felt helpless and troubled.

Saving people is not an easy task... In a place like this, it is extremely difficult to rescue everyone.

It would be fine if she was a little selfish, but if she didn't have the idea of saving herself, she would undoubtedly be dragged down by more than 30 ordinary students.

This may be the reason why she ultimately failed to escape the harvest.

Kindness is never a cheap quality...The higher the moral level of a person, the more demanding they are of their own abilities.

To give a simple example, it is like helping an elderly person who has fallen on the street. At this time, you are not only facing the questioning of conscience, but also the direct financial pressure... 120 charges money.

Perhaps Su Ruoli will have the ability to match it in the future, but now she is obviously not strong enough to bear the pressure brought by such high moral standards.

There was no way she wasn't aware of this, and the intention of pointing it out was obvious.

She knew it, but she didn't plan to change it.

The two of them stepped into the shadow spider's lair one after the other.

"The ordinary shadow spiders here are equivalent to first-level transcendents, and there are a lot of them. Inside the shadow spider nest, there must be a spider queen. The specific level is not yet clear, but if the number increases, we will not be able to cope."

"How did those people get into the Shadow Spider Lair?"

"I don't know the details, but I saw one thing with my own eyes," Su Ruoli said, "The Shadow Spiders won't attack them actively, and they can just avoid them when they meet."

"How many shadow spiders did you kill?"

"Two." Su Ruoli bent over and stood on tiptoe, trying not to make any noise as she walked. "I dare not make too much noise. There are no less than a hundred spiders here."

"Very clever." Bai Yu affirmed positively, and said, "But my guns won't be that effective against Shadow Spiders unless I know their fatal weaknesses."

"Usually it's the head." Su Ruoli said without hesitation: "Cut off the head and they won't move."

"That's correct nonsense." Bai Yu complained, "Of course I'm talking about weaknesses other than the head."

The Shadow Spider moves very fast. As a first-level extraordinary creature, its body strength and reflex speed are even better than those of humans. Even Mao Lilan can dodge pistol bullets at close range. Can't the Shadow Spider react?

"Be careful."

Bai Yu suddenly reached out and pressed Su Ruoli's shoulder: "Don't go over there yet."

Su Ruoli immediately shrugged and let the young man's hand slip away, then took a few steps back and hid behind the wall.

"Three people, seventeen meters to the side and in front, separated by a wall." Bai Yu saw clearly through his inherent talent for sensing murderous intent.

"Want to kill?"

"Can you do it?" Bai Yu expressed doubt: "Three people, I can handle it alone."

"Strength level, specific location."

"Two first-order, one second-order... 37 degrees, 62 degrees, and 18 degrees to the left of the front respectively." Bai Yu repeated: "Are you sure?"

"I'll go around here and attract attention." Su Ruoli said briefly, "We're not familiar with each other, so we can't use more complicated tactics."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and drew out the Chuyao Sword, with a layer of green light attached to the blade.

Bai Yu was secretly amazed. Is this girl really only seventeen years old?

Before they completely lost sight of each other, the two exchanged glances for the last time, and Su Ruoli made the sword emit light three times to indicate three, two, and one.

When the light came on for the third time, he ran directly towards the passage ahead.

Su Ruoli dragged the weapon directly on the wall, making a crisp cutting sound, clang!

The sound attracted three extraordinary people.

What she didn't expect was that there were two unconscious people in the corridor. Judging from their clothes, they should be classmates.

"you--!"

She didn't curse because before she could do so, the green sword light had already slashed towards the nearest person at an extremely fast speed.

At the same time, Bai Yu had quietly come to the back of the passage, standing with his hands holding the gun. Even if Li Sanguang came, he could not have more standard movements and more accurate shooting than him.

bullet time.

Time slowed down, three bursts of shots were fired.

A strange noise came from behind. The first person reacted and turned around, but it was too late. The bullet passed through his skull.

The second bullet was deflected by some force at the moment of impact, ricocheted away, and only hit the opponent's shoulder.

The moment the third bullet hit, Su Ruoli's sword light had already sunk into the blood, and it was impossible to tell whose head it was.

In the blink of an eye, only one second-level extraordinary person survived.

The man's eyes widened, he covered his bleeding shoulder, and looked around against the wall, shocked and angry: "Who... are you!"

Bai Yu didn't say anything. He might as well fire a few more shots instead of wasting time. He emptied the 19-round magazine as quickly as possible and finished reloading within one second.

Unfortunately, all the bullets missed their targets and were deflected by some force and shot in all directions.

This was not completely useless. A pistol exerted the suppressive force of a machine gun. Although the bullet was deflected, the impact was real.

This bought Su Ruoli some time. She stepped on the wall, and her whole body seemed to merge into the green sword light. She rushed past, and with a swift and precise sword, she killed the second-level extraordinary man who didn't even deserve a name.

Kill it like slaughtering a chicken.

The other party must have resisted. Bai Yu saw some impact force raising clouds of dust and creating pits in the corridor where Su Ruoli was running, but unfortunately he failed to stop her.

All three died.

Bai Yu activated his murderous intent perception and looked around to confirm that the noise had not spread too far.

The entire Shadow Spider Lair is filled with various spider webs, and these sticky spider webs also serve as excellent shock-proof and sound-insulating materials.

Bai Yu approached, intending to celebrate their first collaboration, but was met with Su Ruoli's angry gaze.

"Why didn't you tell me they had hostages? What if they were holding people and using them as shields?"

Bai Yu: "..."

After a second of silence, Bai Yu lowered his head and looked at the two unconscious students in the corridor. He was puzzled at first, but then he understood.

A person who has fainted is unconscious.

Therefore, the killing intent perception is invalid... No wonder it is only a blue-level inherent talent, it does have quite a few flaws.

Su Ruoli's anger lasted for three seconds. She noticed that the other party had a somewhat embarrassed look on his face: "You...didn't notice?"

"I can only sense conscious individuals. I can't detect those who are unconscious." Bai Yu explained simply, "It's my mistake. I should have realized the reason for their stay earlier."

Su Ruoli pursed her lips and said, "Sorry, I'm too concerned... They are my classmates."

Bai Yu expressed his understanding and immediately began to search the bodies of the deceased, touching the bodies to collect resources.

"Have you ever killed anyone before?" he asked.

"No."

"How do you feel now?"

"generally."

"Aren't you feeling nauseous?"

"not at all."

"Great... You might have a talent for killing." Bai Yu vomited for a long time when he killed someone for the first time. That was done by the old man, using a gun instead of a sword... The feeling of chopping someone with a sword is completely different from the feeling of shooting a gun.

"If it is to protect the people I want to protect, I don't mind killing." Su Ruoli found a bottle of drinking water, poured some into the palm of his hand, opened the student's eyelids and dripped a few drops in.

Soon the two unconscious students woke up.

As soon as he woke up, he saw Su Ruoli and was overjoyed. But then he saw the corpse beside him and almost screamed.

But Su Ruoli covered her mouth.

Bai Yu stood aside holding the gun, thinking to himself that it was right, absolutely right, this was the reaction of ordinary people.

"Calm down, okay? Look at me carefully, don't look anywhere else, just listen to me..." Su Ruoli hugged the two female classmates and leaned them on his shoulders: "I'm here, I'm here to save you, the bad guy is dead, now just listen to me, and then we'll go home together, okay?"

She was quite experienced in calming people down, and with just a few words, she coaxed the two female classmates who seemed like they were about to explode from the psychological pressure at any time.

This time, Bai Yu once again witnessed the strong psychological qualities of ordinary people in this era.

It only took them a minute to adjust their mood and start analyzing the current situation instead of venting their emotions.

Bai Yu had seen the names of the two girls in the student handbook. They were Hua Li and Ruan Qingxue... To be able to enter Class 1 of Grade 3, they were already top students and elites when the classes were divided. Both of them came from well-off families, had received higher education, and knew how to comfort themselves. At least they realized that they should not cause trouble.

Bai Yu thought... Although he can't be used as a fighting force, at least he is not a burden.

Hua Li took a sip of water to moisten his dry throat: "We met on the way. We were not here originally. Someone on my side was injured, so I came out to find someone to help..."

Ruan Qingxue looked gloomy. "I came from the other side. There were several men in black over there. I saw some of my classmates had been captured."

Briefly summarize what the two said.

Bai Yu judged that the situation on either side was not good. On one side, they were being attacked by shadow spiders and were at risk of having their nest captured; on the other side, members of the organization were arresting people... which was also extremely dangerous.

Before a spider can eat a person, it has to first anesthetize the person and then dissolve the person, but when a person kills someone, there is no need to go through such a complicated process.

"What should we do?" Bai Yu asked.

"One on each side." Su Ruoli made his decision: "I'll deal with the Shadow Spider, and you go save the people."

"Are you sure?" Bai Yu said.

"This is the only way." Su Ruoli said seriously: "If you feel you can't handle it, please at least delay for enough time."

Bai Yu couldn't think of a better solution, and time was running out.

"Just do as you say."

……

Bai Yu led Ruan Qingxue back to the previous place, told her to hide, and then began to prepare for a sneak attack.

There are eight students in this place, but only two guards, both of whom are second-level masters.

I can't win, I can only delay time.

Bai Yu suppressed the enemy by continuously firing cold shots, and this lasted for ten minutes.

I thought the other party should be here soon, and then I heard a reminder sound.

[The key figure has died, clearance failed, the instance will be closed soon]

...wtf!

Bai Yu was deeply shocked, and because of this distraction, he didn't notice a skull flying from mid-air, and was pierced by the bone needles spit out by the skull on the spot.

Before he died, he also heard Ruan Qingxue's desperate cries.

……

Bai Yu opened his eyes and sat up from the yoga mat. It was still late at night and less than ten minutes had passed.

[Victory and defeat are common in the military, please try again]
