Sixteen of Populus euphratica's subordinates stood side by side outside the pass, looking back inside with solemn expressions.
Although the ten armored soldiers around Hu Yang had evacuated in advance, three of them were unfortunately hit by falling boulders while escaping.
The billowing smoke and dust are pouring out along the narrow and steep gap between the two mountains, like a beast that chooses and devours people.
Everyone was silent, not daring to speak, but also not daring to look forward.
The thought that popped up in their minds was that Populus euphratica really couldn't come out.
At this time, the smoke and dust near the dangerous peaks on both sides had dispersed slightly, revealing most of the fallen mountain.
The dangerous peaks turned into flat mountains.
God knows how many rocks fell.
It must have been completely buried alive inside.
Time passed little by little, and five minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
Counting the time everyone spent fighting and waiting, nearly twenty minutes have passed since the others evacuated.
It's time to go and meet up with the others.
But no one spoke, they were still hoping for a miracle.
Suddenly, an armored soldier equipped with a metal detection module exclaimed, "Someone is coming out of it! Very fast!"
Everyone quickly turned to look at him.
"who is it?"
"I don't know. The smog is too heavy and the detection signal is very blurry. I know there is someone there, but I can't tell their identity."
As the man was speaking, he saw a strong figure suddenly break through the smoke and rush towards him.
Although the visitor's armor was severely damaged, mostly deformed, and the surface was covered with a large amount of plaster, everyone still recognized it as Populus euphratica at a glance.
She also held another armored warrior in her hand.
Everyone was about to step forward to respond when they heard Hu Yang's sharp shout from the communicator, "What are you still doing here? Didn't I tell you to retreat? Let's go! Although the other side has suffered heavy losses, not all of them are dead. Go."
Join the others, we have the next step!"
As soon as she finished teaching the others, Hu Yang flew in front of everyone, but her armor suddenly lost control and she fell to the ground.
During this process, she didn't care to adjust her posture. Instead, she threw the armored warrior she was carrying with her hand and said, "Follow him."
Before she could finish speaking, she had already crashed down and rolled several times on the ground before barely regaining her balance.
The person who was thrown out by her was caught accurately, and his injuries were not aggravated.
Hu Yang reluctantly stood up, "My loyal wingmen have all been assigned inside, and the armor is also somewhat damaged. Help me to go to the dense forest."
As soon as she finished speaking, she collapsed to the ground again.
There were some injuries on her body, but they were not serious. The problem was caused by her armor's power supply module.
With her physique, she cannot support the weight of the armor without power assistance.
In fact, while flying out from inside, she was first hit in the back by a large rock, and then the equipment kept giving an energy module failure alarm, reminding her that there was physical damage.
The alarm kept beeping.
The sound was so loud that the seriously injured person she was carrying could hear it in the communication and repeatedly asked her to put him down.
But she turned a deaf ear.
During this process, her equipment actively cut off flow for self-protection many times.
Populus euphratica still ignored him, and kept manually adjusting the emergency mode, forcing out the last bit of energy, and finally rushed out in a desperate attempt.
After others helped him up, Hu Yang gasped and said, "Go to the dense forest to the north and meet the others."
A subordinate said: "Sister Hu, I think it's best not to go there now. At least I have to wait until I repair your equipment first."
This person's words were rather euphemistic, but his meaning was clearly expressed.
He believed that there were still untrustworthy people in the team, and it would be dangerous to rashly join these people in Hu Yang's current state.
Unexpectedly, Hu Yang shook his head and said: "No, time is very tight. We must seize this opportunity to further narrow the gap between ourselves and the enemy, otherwise we will still not be able to achieve the final victory. My personal safety is not worth mentioning compared with the overall situation.
.In addition, people will change. We must give confidence to our comrades. Let’s go.”
Seeing that she had made up her mind, others could not persuade her, so they could only let it go.
Another ten minutes passed, and Hu Yang and other eighteen people met up with the large army on time.
Just as the cautious subordinate worried before, some people did see that Populus euphratica had temporarily lost mobility, and their thoughts began to wander.
But these people did not act immediately.
They will use their minds, and those contestants who are loyal to Populus euphratica are also aware of the problem and have gathered in advance to surround Populus euphratica.
Some scheming and cunning people came and pretended to be loyal and got in.
But these people immediately found themselves trapped in a trap of suspicion.
After all, there is a huge gap between people's hearts. Regardless of whether they are loyal to Hu Yang or those who want her life, they dare not fully trust everyone around them at this time. Everyone is supervising each other with vigilant eyes.
At this moment, whoever dares to take out the dick will be swarmed by the people around him and beaten into pieces in the next second.
An invisible but intangible but objectively existing chain of suspicion binds everyone.
About two minutes later, what Hu Yang did in the battle behind the palace reached everyone's ears through word of mouth.
In order to cover the others in the rear, she actually led a handful of twenty people to block the pursuers.
And she also asked the others to withdraw at the last moment, leaving the queen alone.
This is simply...
Those people who were distracted turned their heads and looked into the depths of the crowd. Over there, Populus euphratica was urging the medical staff who knew some medical knowledge to quickly inject her with stimulants to suppress her injuries. At the same time, she was also constantly instructing her close associates to quickly inject her with severe injuries.
Take out the equipment and start dialing immediately.
Some people advised Populus euphratica to take some rest, but Populus euphratica steeled herself and said, "The opportunity is fleeting, but I can still bear it."
"But your equipment..."
"It's okay. This battle requires brains. As long as I can still move, it doesn't matter whether I have equipment or not. Hurry!"
"OK."
The scheming person listened to this conversation, but subconsciously imagined the scene in his mind when Populus euphratica guarded the pass alone and told others to retreat.
As the outside players and viewers understand, Hu Yang usually has a little bit of selfishness, but he will not fight to such an extent this time.
After all, her previous personal strength was enough to support her to survive to the finals.
Even if there is a hunting group hunting her, there is still nothing they can do to her. She does not have to care about the life or death of other people.
But after all, she did something that harmed herself and benefited others.
…
"Brother, what are you doing? Don't be in a daze. Sister Hu has already said that you must act quickly. Move!"
"Uh-huh."
…
Five minutes later, the mighty team started to move around the D3 passage along an arc and went straight to the other side of the passage, which is where the pursuers who were buried alive in the valley came from.
Halfway through the journey, the front spies had successively come into contact with some members of the hunting group who had escaped from the valley in panic, as well as some other members of the hunting group who were coming from a distance.
Today's spies in the Populus euphratica army are extraordinary.
Under her call, many people took the initiative to spread out their own sophisticated equipment and piled a large amount of advantageous resources on the twenty elites.
These elites went out again and became spies.
This is basically impossible to happen in a normal game. After all, selfishness is justice in this game, and selflessness is pure stupidity.
But it did happen at this moment.
As for the intelligence personnel of the hunting group, it is another extreme.
These people generally have average abilities, even average equipment levels, and are not very good at interpersonal communication, so they are forced to leave the relatively safe large forces to do such things that can easily lead to death.
Not only that, because these people have limited abilities, they are marginalized in the hunting group, and they have to accept internal exploitation. They are forced to hand over valuable items in their equipment to the senior leaders of the hunting group, which leads to the general decline in their equipment level.
The average value of a crotch cannot even reach 3,000 yuan.
Comparing the two, the result is that the intelligence personnel of the hunting group have almost no ability to resist when facing the elites from Populus euphratica. They often fail to even give a warning, and are sniped to death remotely from sight.
As a result, the hunting group in this area became blind, so that Hu Yang and others were not noticed when they set up a position on a small hillside outside the pass.
…
"This is a roundup for reinforcements. The people in the hunting group will be in big trouble."
Hewitt Augustus, who was watching the battle, commented like this.
As he was talking, a hunting group reinforcements of about 300 people appeared not far from the D3 passage and hurriedly marched forward.
Tang Xiangyun and his minions opened their mouths one after another, watching helplessly as the group walked into a dead end without knowing anything.
The commander of this team was still cursing the missing spies, swearing that when these traitors were found later, they would kill each one of them.
It's a pity that he can't shout directly, otherwise Tang Xiangyun really wants to rush out and scold the idiot commander.
Your eyes were poked blind, and you still think that your eyes went away on their own?
Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, the ignorant hunting group gradually approached the pass, and about one-third entered it.
At this time, the formation of the hunting group was a bit chaotic, and many people were eager to squeeze in.
Their purpose was not to rescue the people inside, but to capture the equipment buried under the rubble.
Many people have even quietly dreamed of making a fortune.
Especially the commander of this team, whose personal equipment is now worth nearly 80,000 source star coins.
What he thought was that after this wave of corpse collection was completed, the value of his equipment would reach at least 200,000, and then he would be able to compete with the other giants in the hunting group.
At this moment, a dazzling light suddenly lit up behind the pass.
Those who reacted quickly immediately turned their heads and looked to the side, only to see dozens of black shadows suddenly appear on the top of the mountain not far away.
There was fire coming out of almost every dark shadow.
Enemy attack!
The man opened his mouth to shout, but there was only a whoosh in his throat, and no sound came out.
The bullet had already penetrated his throat.
Just when he was about to sink into consciousness, he heard the sound of a gunshot.
But this person is not the most miserable. The really miserable people are those who were bombarded by the stacked heavy artillery modified by Populus euphratica.
A violent explosion exploded among the crowd, and many people's bodies were instantly torn into pieces.
The commander who had entered the pass was awakened from his sweet dream.
He first wanted to go inside, but he heard from the people in front that the valley was blocked by falling rocks, so he could only activate the flotation device and fly over.
Just as he was about to take off, he saw one of his armored soldiers take the lead in flying up. Two guided rockets flew from the hillside behind him, hitting the leader and shooting him down on the spot.
While resisting the flying metal shrapnel ejected by the rocket launcher explosion, the commander thought to himself and transferred to assess the situation.
It cannot take off. Anyone who dares to take off now is a living target. Whoever takes off will die first.
So he changed his tone and shouted: "Calm down and fight back! We have more people! Charge back! We can annihilate them!"
Some people actually believed his lies. After calming down briefly, they simply carried the bodies of their comrades or used bunkers to rush towards the hill where Hu Yang and others were hiding.
But Hu Yang's shouts from the loudspeaker immediately sounded from the opposite side, "Still charging, look at your commander, he has already taken the lead and ran away."
The hunters who were charging forward turned around and saw the commander wearing gorgeous and exquisite armor running away from the side of the pass.
This was good, the morale of the army was in chaos, and these hunters who had no idea turned around and ran away.
Seeing that the time had come, Populus euphratica stood up and said, "Pursue! Kill until they dare not look back! Charge!"
After saying this, Hu Yang, who was not wearing armor, only wearing a simple combat uniform, and carrying a heavy mini-corps control bag, took the lead and took big steps to rush out.
Seeing this, the others couldn't let her get to the front. They rushed out one after another, quickly crossed the Populus euphratica, and rushed down the hill like a tiger descending the mountain.
A miracle occurred.
Only a few hundred people actually killed nearly 300 people, threw off their armor and fled all the way.
After chasing for nearly a mile like this, Hu Yang calculated the distance in his mind and loudly ordered through the communicator, "Stop! Clean the battlefield and pack up equipment!"
At this time, the contestants under her command already respected her as a god, and could execute orders and prohibitions without any military training.
As a result, everyone turned around and began to collect equipment along the way they came, killing the enemy with last-ditch attacks.
About ten minutes later, Hu Yang and others returned to the D3 pass.
Only then did she have time to count the results.
In this battle, nearly two hundred enemies were wiped out, and the resources harvested were worth nearly two million Source Star Coins.
Moreover, because the enemy failed to organize an effective counterattack throughout the whole process, the large amount of consumable materials carried with them were basically preserved intact.
In particular, supplies such as ammunition and energy modules have solved the urgent needs of the Populus euphratica team.
While others were celebrating their victory, Hu Yang ordered some people to move back into the D3 passage and pull out the equipment of nearly 500 people who had been buried alive in the passage.
…
In the booth, Zhou Ya wondered: "Uncovering things buried under the soil is not an easy task. She is not afraid of wasting too much time and being surrounded by subsequent reinforcements from the hunting group? Even if the hunting group suffered heavy losses,
But it has been expanding in scale, and now there are nearly 500 people, and they are all elites of the Chinese army and have very strong combat capabilities."
Ren Zhong shook his head, "On the battlefield, there is something called morale. Morale is very important. After being defeated by Populus euphratica with less and more with less, and suffering these two big losses, the hunting group will never dare to rush in again. They will change their strategy.
.”
Zhou Ya: "Ah?"
Ren Zhong: “If you don’t believe it, just take a look.”
Zhou Ya adjusted the perspective to a place only one kilometer away from the pass.
Over there, the defeated remnants had just joined the so-called Chinese army.
The several commanders in the hunting group all had sinking faces and extremely solemn expressions.
The Chinese army no longer advanced, but stood by in place.
Everything went as expected, and the hunting group's morale had already weakened.
