Chapter 209:

Only a few scattered Snake People remained on the scene.

Those snakes had long become souls under the hands of the two.

As Su Lan continued to clear the area, there were no living Snake People left within her and Mario’s line of sight.

Even so, the big boss Liang Yu had guessed would appear did not.

But that didn’t mean the matter was over.

Because Liang Yu received a distress call from Lan Ling.

The good news was that his Xiao Yizi was still alive and had been successfully located.

She was now lying in a hibernation pod awaiting retrieval by the one-man army and would be airlifted back.

But Lan Ling also gave him another piece of bad news.

When the one-man army was about a hundred kilometers from the RV, it was suddenly targeted by a Zerg.

Now it was following closely behind the one-man army.

Logically, it should have been simple for the one-man army to shake off the Zerg.

However, the one-man army was also carrying a hibernation pod.

Therefore, to consider the safety of the person in the hibernation pod, they let the Zerg follow them all the way.

Just how much hatred was there, to make them follow for a hundred kilometers to reach this place?

This also caught the eye of Su Lan, who had just rested.

Due to the considerable distance, from Su Lan’s perspective, it looked more like a strange flying creature.

Behind it was a dense, dark mass of unknown things.

Just one glance made Su Lan’s biological instincts fill her with dread.

She even abandoned the unfinished Snake Person remains in her hand.

She hurriedly picked up the Bright Silver Spear she had thrown on the ground and went to Mario’s side.

Her gaze swept over Mario, looking around.

She was searching for the red and white spirit ball that had caused her fear.

But after Su Lan scanned around Mario, she did not see the spirit ball or the box containing it.

This made Su Lan a bit anxious; she turned and glanced, and the unidentified flying object was getting closer and closer.

She urgently asked Mario, who was nonchalant beside her.

“Big brother, where’s that ball?”

“It’s the box you mentioned before, the ball inside it!”

“Didn’t you release me from the ball?”

“Hurry up and get it out and put me back in!”

The more anxious Su Lan became, the more she kept rambling to Mario.

But Mario did not give her a reply.

Instead, Liang Yu gave her the next command.

“Su Lan, a hibernation pod will land near you in a moment.”

“Your mission is to bring the hibernation pod back.”

“Mario will cover your retreat.”

Upon hearing Liang Yu’s words, Su Lan was completely bewildered.

The most crucial thing was that the man actually knew the situation on site.

This made Su Lan constantly scan her surroundings, wanting to check the location of the monitors.

However, she did not see any so-called monitors around her.

Instead, she saw the dark shadow in the sky getting closer and closer.

As the shadow continuously enlarged, Su Lan clearly saw the appearance of the one-man army and the Zerg relentlessly pursuing it from behind.

As the one-man army approached, Mario also got ready.

Under Su Lan’s astonished gaze, Mario pulled out a fuel tank almost as large as himself from his pocket.

The two flamethrowers connected to the fuel tank were also successively taken out of his pocket.

Mario slung the fuel tank on his back, holding a flamethrower in each hand, ready to provide support.

As the one-man army flew over Mario and Su Lan’s heads, this also meant the arrival of the Zerg.

Facing the dense, dark Zerg ahead, Mario decisively activated his flamethrowers.

Blazing flames shot out, forming a wall of fire that interrupted the Zerg’s pursuit.

The frontmost bugs rushed towards the suddenly rising wall of fire, embracing it.

The bugs were scorched by the flames, emitting crackling sounds.

The smell of these burnt bugs quickly permeated the air.

The wall of fire blocked the Zerg’s pursuit, but it also quickly extinguished.

The two flamethrowers in Mario’s hands activated again.

Flames shot out from the flamethrowers, forming a scorching cross in the air, dividing the re-gathered Zerg into smaller sections.

The divided Zerg did not re-gather; instead, they locked onto Mario, who was holding the flamethrowers below.

They surged forward relentlessly, attempting to break through Mario’s defensive line.

But Mario, relying on his excellent skill, continuously adjusted the angle of the flamethrowers and the intensity of the flames.

Mario, in his dual-wielding state, consistently maintained suppression over the Zerg.

Under the continuous scorching of the flames, the Zerg emitted painful hisses.

But they did not retreat; instead, they lunged at Mario even more frantically.

This made Liang Yu, watching from the RV, frown involuntarily.

Just how much hatred did these Zerg harbor, to not give up even after reaching this extent?

On Su Lan’s side, after the one-man army flew past, she followed behind it.

Not far away, she only saw the hibernation pod in the direction the one-man army had gone.

But the one-man army’s figure was gone.

Su Lan looked at the hibernation pod with some hesitation at this moment.

In her heart, she still harbored a longing for freedom.

She didn’t want to give up her free life just like that, but she was very wary of Liang Yu’s methods.

Su Lan even suspected that she was still under Liang Yu’s surveillance right now.

She glanced behind her and saw that the Zerg had not pursued her.

Presumably, that fellow named Mario was holding them back.

After another look at the hibernation pod ahead, Su Lan stood still and did not move.

Instead, she was considering whether or not to simply leave.

However, after only a short while, Su Lan made a decision.

She hoisted the hibernation pod in front of her and walked towards the RV.

Seeing Su Lan obediently follow his command, Liang Yu shifted the sniper rifle aimed at Su Lan.

He also changed the magazine.

Mario, facing the massive Zerg alone, also began to feel a bit overwhelmed.

He was Mario; he only had two hands, not the legendary rebellious celestial, the Three-Altar Sea God with three heads and six arms.

Facing the continuously dispersing Zerg, Mario’s effective killing power against them became increasingly low.

Quite a few flying insects had already broken through Mario’s defensive line.

Liang Yu at this moment aimed at these scattered flying insects, preparing to shoot them down.

However, Liang Yu hadn’t had time to pull the trigger yet.

He saw the one-man army descending from the sky.

Holding a Light Sword, it performed a cool, top-down slash, shooting down the flying insects.

The moment it landed, its left hand, holding a gun, opened fire on the flying insects that had broken through Mario’s defense.

With Lan Ling’s addition, Mario’s pressure was greatly reduced.

Liang Yu, at this time, naturally couldn’t continue watching.

He aimed at a slightly larger cluster of Zerg in the air and fired a shot at the center.

The bullet exploded instantly upon hitting the Zerg.

It continuously expanded in the air, forming a fiery sphere.

Continuously incinerating the Zerg within its range.

For a moment, the three of them displayed a relatively tacit cooperation.

Under Liang Yu’s instructions, Mario began to herd the Zerg together.

He himself used the sniper rifle to eliminate the gathered flying insects as much as possible.

Lan Ling, on her side, was responsible for clearing out the scattered flying insects.
