In the dark cave, Li Zhenhang held his breath and sat at the entrance of the cave, carefully exuding his spiritual touch.The outside of the cave is covered with a dense layer of plants, and when the wind blows, the leaves rustle.At this time, any sound would make him tense up involuntarily.It was exhausting to keep the tension going, but he had no other choice.

In the depths of the cave, heavy and painful gasps occasionally sounded, which were the guides in their team. The S-rank sentries are all soldiers, well-trained, and born with a strong sense of crisis.No matter how seriously injured they are, they will not leak their voices at this time and attract the enemy's pursuit.And those healing guides who don't have this sense of crisis are different.Almost every time you are injured or encounter a crisis situation, there is an instinctive stress response.

Shouting after being frightened, calling for help full of fear, moaning in pain after being seriously injured... Li Zhenhang didn't want to recall how many times similar scenes had happened in the past few months.Each time there will be more monsters following the sound, and almost every time there will be sacrifices.

After he joined the team led by Youan, there were a total of forty people, including 32 S-rank sentries, seven S-rank guides, and one A-rank guide. The A-level guide is Rex, and he was once the "key care object" of the sentries.However, the Sentinels soon realized that the survivability of a guide cannot be judged by rank, but should be judged by "faction".Compared with other guides, Rex needs no special care at all.On the contrary, it was a few S-level guides who almost wiped everyone out countless times.

In the first battle to reduce personnel, a sentinel who was responsible for protecting the guide died.The second time, the third time... More and more sentinels were downsizing, and the guides also suffered casualties.Facing the guide who only knew how to ask for help but had no ability to survive, the mentality of the sentries gradually changed from sympathy and pity to dissatisfaction and indifference.

Sentinels are not omnipotent, and it is impossible to detect what happened to the guides anytime, anywhere like AI, or to encounter any danger.It is not easy to take care of the guide's safety in the endless battles, many accidents even they can't react, let alone overcome the instinct to protect the guide.

Under such circumstances, there were only three of the seven S-level guides left, and one of them was seriously injured and his leg was completely amputated. There are only 32 of the 15 S-rank sentries left, and everyone has been injured to some extent.The guides were so disappointed with the poor protection of the sentries that they almost burst out and accused them of not using their full strength at all.The Sentinels were even more desperate for the guide's ability to survive, and felt that every day spent on this planet was like living through the day, and they didn't know when they would be trapped to death.

It's not that Li Zhenhang has never seen his colleagues sacrifice heroically, nor has he experienced cruel pursuits, and it took untold hardships to survive.However, the feeling at that time was completely different from what it is now. No matter what kind of danger he encountered, he always had a glimmer of hope in his heart.But now, everyone's negative emotions are rushing towards him, making him feel anxious and depressed all the time.

The spiritual tentacles finally drilled out of the coverage of the plants at the entrance of the cave, and shuttled through the bushes outside.He didn't let them go too far, he just wanted to scout the surrounding environment to see if any monsters were chasing them.Fortunately, everything is calm, and there are only some ordinary monsters wandering around.When his mental tentacles drifted past them, no one noticed anything unusual.

Li Zhenhang heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. At this moment, he suddenly "saw" five fire lights on the horizon in the distance.It was dusk now, those rays of light were not eye-catching, they just appeared at the brightest moment, and then disappeared without a trace.Then, there was a slight vibration in that direction.

This scene seemed so familiar, Li Zhenhang immediately withdrew his mental tactile thread, carefully retreated into the cave, and said to You An who was sitting beside him in a low voice: "Someone has landed again, maybe..." Based on his understanding of the Empire and the Federal Army According to the understanding of the Ministry, they are not willing to take the risk of continuing losses and send elite personnel to rescue them.Calculating the time, Shen Huichuan and the others should have arrived.

Youan, who was hanging his arms, lifted his spirits: "Really? I knew that God would not be willing to cut off such legendary stories like heroes saving heroes. What are you going to do now? Are you going to meet them in the past, or continue to stay?" Resting here? I suggest starting immediately, don’t hesitate. If they are all moved away, it will be even more difficult to find them in the future.”

Li Zhenhang glanced at his arm and hesitated for a while: "Everyone hasn't rested yet, it's too dangerous to go on the road in this state." At this time of low morale, if everyone is forced to go out to face the danger, they will get There will only be silent resistance.Especially those three surviving S-level guides, once they are allowed to leave this "safe place", maybe they will completely collapse.

"Then what should we do?" Youan also knew the status of the S-level guides, and a sneer appeared on his face.He has always disagreed with having so many healing S-level guides accompanying him.With the continuous sacrifice of his subordinates, his opinions on them who can only drag them down are also growing.Are there any contributions these guides currently have to the party?grooming?They don't need it right now.Identify herbs?Forget it, everyone is busy running for their lives, who has any leisure time to collect herbs?

So, what is the use of having so many guides in the team?Before the Sentinels need to be relieved, I'm afraid everyone will be dead, okay? !He has never understood the brain circuits of the Guide Alliance and the Military Department, and he no longer tries to understand them.Although as a soldier, he cannot disobey the orders of his superiors, but he has already formed his own belief-if he becomes a marshal and completes high-risk missions, he will never choose to cooperate with the healing guide! !

"Most people stay here to rest, and a small number of people follow me to have a look." Li Zhenhang said, "Or, I will go alone."

"How can this be done?" Youan shook his head and firmly refused, "It's too dangerous for you alone, you have to take at least three or four sentries with you. Or, take that Rex there too, just in case .” The two of them spoke in a very low volume, but maybe they mentioned Rex’s name, which attracted the attention of the A-rank guide.

"Two major generals, do you need any help?" The thin young man had suffered a lot in the past few months, and his whole body became a bone.Still, it was a wonder that so many seemingly incomparably fit men were scarred and lifeless, and yet he was so full of energy.He only suffered a few minor injuries when everyone else suffered heavy casualties.This is definitely not luck, but strength.

"Rex, I want to go out and see the surrounding situation." Li Zhenhang suppressed Youan's objection very forcefully, "This bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled will be taken care of by you temporarily, and I will be back in two days. Be careful, stay as far away from the entrance of the cave as possible, and don't let those monsters find out."

"Major General Li, don't worry." Rex seemed to have noticed something, and smiled slightly.However, when he turned to look at the others, no one noticed that there was only extreme indifference in his eyes.

On the other side, a certain team that was struggling to fight the monster was lucky to be the first to encounter rescuers.It's just as unfortunate, though, that their captain happens to be Ms. Abby.The old lady who was being supported by students had already lost her usual elegant and kind appearance, her hair was messed up and her body was covered in blood.The students around her were numb, watching the sentinels being bitten bloody by monsters, and they didn't react at all.

They were just a team of 20 people, and after three months of hard work, there were only seven sentries and two guides left.Everyone was wounded, and the protective clothing could not stop the bloody smell on their bodies. Monsters would smell the smell and come to trouble them every moment.Although the current monsters are not as powerful as the ones they encountered at the beginning, they are almost invincible enemies to them who are mentally and physically devastated.

Ms. Abby straightened her back and watched another sentry being torn in half by the monster's claws. She suppressed her fear and nausea and continued to watch the battle.Her only surviving student happened to be Mr. Colonel of the Army Hospital. His eyes suddenly moved, and finally revealed the hidden fear, and he couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Teacher, will we...will die here? ?”

Ms. Abby glanced at him, and suddenly gave him a slap in the face: "Even if you die here, show me a bit of the backbone of a soldier!!"

Mr. Colonel covered his red and swollen cheeks, and smiled lowly: "The teacher is right, even if you want to die, you can't cry to death like a coward. But teacher, I have been thinking, why do we have to come to this planet?" Why do we insist on coming here, even though we know it's dangerous... If the teacher didn't suggest that the guide also come together, wouldn't we die?"

He has always been proud and proud of the strength of his teacher.But this time, the teacher brought them nothing but remorse and fear.He didn't know what the dead brothers and sisters were thinking before they died, at least he had already started to regret it. "Teacher, yes, I am a soldier, so I should not be afraid of death. But I am really afraid, such a meaningless death..."

"Shut up!!" Ms. Abby slapped him again.Mr. Colonel laughed even harder, even a little hysterical.

The sentinels who were fighting had no time to pay attention to what happened to the two guides. They just glanced at them from a distance and continued to fight.The guides, who were on the verge of emotional collapse, didn't notice that a rattan quietly circled around, bound Mr. Colonel violently, and pulled him into the woods in an instant.

Before Mr. Colonel could react, he was already flying into the air.He could only watch Ms. Abby's indifferent face getting farther and farther away from him... farther and farther away... e

At this time, the vibrating particle knife flew out from nowhere and cut off the rattan.Mr. Colonel slammed to the ground, trying to get up dizzily.Immediately afterwards, he heard a familiar voice that made him feel disgusted instinctively: "How could it be him?"

In the blurred field of vision, the person walking out of the woods gradually became clear.The smiling young man with black hair and black eyes was wearing a light protective clothing, spotless. He looked like he was outing, which was in stark contrast to his current embarrassment.Another black-haired and black-eyed young man came out from behind the young man, with a very gentle smile: "This is Mr. Colonel of the Army Hospital, right? Hello, we meet again."
