Chapter 139 Alien Invasion 16
When an alien broke through the defenses and charged towards Shen Ying, she suddenly plunged her dagger into the alien's eye. The alien let out a painful roar, and green blood splattered onto her face. The pungent smell made her nauseous. She endured the nausea and fear and forcefully pulled the dagger out.
The other team members also stood back to back, forming a tight defensive circle.
They worked together, some shooting at the aliens in the distance, while others wielded melee weapons to defend against close-range attacks.
"We're running low on ammunition, use it sparingly!" Zhou Qing shouted anxiously.
"Hold on!" Chen Ming swung his laser dagger, and with each swing, the sound of the blade slicing through the alien's body could be heard.
Zhao Tao's arm was slashed by the alien's claws, and blood flowed freely. He cried out in pain.
Seeing this, Li Dingguo shouted, "I'll cover you!"
Gunfire and the roars of aliens intertwined to create a deafening cacophony of death.
Shen Ying fought fiercely amidst a hail of bullets when suddenly she felt a surge of heat rising in her chest—it was her protective talisman burning hot.
"What's going on?" she wondered, but the crisis before her left her no time to think.
Just then, Su Lan, standing beside Shen Ying, moved with lightning speed and suddenly hovered in mid-air, her target clearly pointing at the humanoid creature wrapped in layers of alien tentacles.
This completely illogical phenomenon instantly shocked Shen Ying and the others, who stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"Holy crap, what's going on?" Li Dingguo couldn't help but exclaim, his voice standing out in the tense atmosphere, filled with shock and confusion.
With a wave of his hands, Su Lan conjured a blade of light radiating a cold blue glow.
He lunged towards the humanoid creature, leaving a trail of illusory light and shadow in mid-air.
With each swing of the light blade, a cold glint flashed like lightning, each slash precisely striking the thick, alien tentacles.
Each cut brought forth a chilling gust of air, sharp as a blade, easily severing the tentacles, sending green slime flying through the air.
The humanoid creature sensed Su Lan's threat. It twisted its body desperately, waving its remaining tentacles in an attempt to attack Su Lan, while letting out angry and terrified roars.
Su Lan's eyes were cold, showing no emotion whatsoever.
He nimbly dodged attacks in mid-air, his figure moving like a ghost, and the attacks of the light blade in his hand became increasingly fierce.
As Su Lan continued her attacks, the tentacles around the humanoid creature became fewer and fewer.
It struggled even more frantically, but it was all in vain.
Su Lan approached the humanoid creature like a ghost, her light blade flashing like a meteor, aiming directly at the creature's vitals.
The humanoid creature let out a shrill scream, its eyes filled with terror and disbelief, and gradually lost its life under Su Lan's attacks.
The moment the humanoid creature died, a dazzling light shot out from its body and instantly entered Su Lan's body.
Su Lan remained suspended in mid-air, her expression cold and stern, as if she were the ruler of this land of death, exuding a chilling majesty.
A moment later, Su Lan landed slowly and stood in front of Xu Yang, with her back to Shen Ying.
At the same time, the surrounding team members, including the aliens who had fallen into chaos due to the loss of humanoid commands, all collapsed to the ground as if their souls had been ripped out, no longer moving.
The entire cave was instantly enveloped in deathly silence, with only Su Lan, Xu Yang, and Shen Ying standing there. The blood and silence intertwined to create a strong and eerie atmosphere.
Su Lan attacked without warning, her dagger flashing out like lightning, her movements so fast that they were almost invisible.
Xu Yang had no time to react before the dagger pierced his vitals.
His eyes widened in astonishment and confusion as a beam of light shot out from his body and entered Su Lan's body.
Then, Xu Yang's body slowly collapsed, and blood gushed out like a fountain, quickly spreading into a large patch of glaring red on the ground, filling the cave with the stench of blood.
Su Lan slowly turned around and gave Shen Ying a smile that was so innocent and bright it was almost eerie.
Shen Ying was stunned by this sudden turn of events, her lips trembling, unable to utter a single word. Her eyes were filled with shock, confusion, and disbelief.
A system notification sounded in Shen Ying's mind: "Mission complete, exit the game."
The morning sunlight filtered through the leaves, dappling the mountain path.
Shen Ying and He Qi were heading towards the top of the mountain.
"Hey! Look at that flower, doesn't it look like the flower that represents the male protagonist in that game I told you about before?" Shen Ying's voice rang out.
He Qi smiled and nodded, about to speak, when suddenly her eyes widened, and then a meaningful smile appeared on her lips: "Hehe, Yingzi, what's that red mark on your neck?"
Shen Ying looked bewildered: "What red mark?" she asked, while reaching up to touch her neck.
He Qi darted forward, pointed at her neck, and winked, saying, "Right here! Don't tell me you pinched yourself, okay? Confess, did you secretly get a boyfriend?"
Shen Ying was speechless, rolled her eyes and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I guess you got bitten by mosquitoes while you were sleeping last night."
"Come on! Do you think I'm stupid?" He Qi crossed her arms and looked at him with a mocking expression.
Shen Ying shrugged and said indifferently, "Believe it or not."
He Qi asked suspiciously, "Really?"
Shen Ying: "More real than gold!"
The two laughed and joked along the way, and after walking for a while, they found a flat area in the mountains with a wide view to rest.
They sat on the ground, took out snacks and water from their backpacks, and replenished their energy.
He Qi took a sip of water, then, as if suddenly remembering something, her expression turned serious: "Tell me, where exactly did Xu Xiaozhu go? She's been missing for so long, and there's not a single trace of her."
Shen Ying swallowed the biscuit in her mouth, frowned, and said, "I don't know either. It's really strange. It's like they vanished into thin air. The police haven't found any clues either."
“Do you think she might have run into some bad people?” He Qi said. “Every time I think about it, I get chills down my spine.”
"I don't know either," Shen Ying shrugged helplessly. "I hope she's just doing well somewhere and doesn't want to be found yet."
"I hope so." He Qi gazed at the undulating mountains in the distance, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
After saying goodbye at the foot of the mountain, Shen Ying and He Qi went their separate ways home.
Shen Ying felt as if her legs were tied with sandbags, and every step she took required a lot of effort.
Finally home, she used the last of her strength to push open the door and drag her exhausted body into the house.
As soon as she entered the room, she threw her backpack and everything she was carrying onto the table with a loud thud.
She collapsed onto the sofa as if she had no bones left.
At that moment, she felt as if every muscle in her body was protesting.
The muscles in my legs, in particular, are extremely sore; it's a dense, stinging pain.
The doorbell rang, sounding particularly jarring in the quiet house.
Shen Ying frowned, her body feeling as if it were glued to the sofa, and she didn't want to move at all.
But the doorbell kept ringing. She sighed helplessly and forced herself to get up from the sofa, her body aching.
Shen Ying reached out and opened the door, only to find it was her next-door neighbor.
The neighbor, carrying a bag, looked at Shen Ying. Seeing her disheveled appearance, he didn't say anything, but quietly and attentively looked her up and down. Then he went into the house with a natural and familiar manner, as if this were his own home.
The neighbor put the bag aside and gestured for Shen Ying to lie back down on the sofa.
As soon as Shen Ying lay down, her neighbor began to massage her.
