Summoning Mercenaries

1

When Kent saw the library route map sent to him by Suo Lonely, he couldn't help but feel that the pioneers just had nothing to do!

Because this route is calculated from the floor where Kent and others have just struggled, to the floor stored by the mapping machine, a total of nine floors.

The most irritating thing is that the corridors on each floor are at least two or three kilometers long.

The most annoying thing is that there is one elevator for each floor, and they are all at the left and right ends.

This means that after Kent and the others came to the second floor, they needed to run to the opposite end of the elevator on the first floor, and there was an elevator leading to the third floor.

After going back and forth like this, Kent certainly felt that the designer of the Forerunner had lost his mind.

During the game, Kent almost got lost in the library level. After all, he just went back and forth, but he thought it was deliberately designed for the difficulty of the game.

However, after the actual library still adopts the same structure, what Kent can be sure of is that the designer of this forerunner has at least watts of brains.

But if it comes, it’s safe, and Kent didn’t want to complain too much, so he waved his hand forward and ordered everyone:

"All rush forward, move to the ninth floor underground, and get that indexer as soon as possible!"

"Yes! Commander!" The howls of the marines headed by Hudson resounded in the passage corridor on the second floor.

"Gulu Gulu..." At the same time, the disgusting voice of the infection form spores also came out from the passage.

"Da da!" The sound of gunfire from pulse rifles and smart machine guns came immediately.

Without waiting for Kent's order, all the marines started firing vigilantly. After all, the scene of the marine almost being assimilated by an infected form the size of a basketball was still imprinted in everyone's minds.

Therefore, the current marines dare not underestimate any Flood, even a spore the size of a finger.

"Go." As for Kent, he also waved his hand, letting Ares and Karl continue to advance forward and set an example for the Spartans.

"Aww!" The elites roared in unison, then followed Kent and waited for Sparta to charge behind.

As for the marines led by Hudson, they were also protecting the unarmed Cortana, and Wu Liuqi, who was sending out the spores that cleared the infected form.

The group of people is still the same as the first floor. They need to kill the flood like flood and rush towards the elevator.

But the difference is that everyone's experience in facing the Flood Demon is accumulating, and they are not as helpless as they were just now.

Even if there is an infestation of spores in the form of infection, if they engulf a marine, everyone can kill him immediately.

And all of them are airtight individual equipment, which provides a line of defense for all combatants.

In this way, Kent led the crowd to the eighth basement almost smoothly.

But just when everyone thought that they could pass the eighth floor so smoothly, and then reach the ninth floor to obtain the indexer, an accident happened.

...

"Woo..." It was still the disgusting sound from Hong Mo.

"Bang!" With a shotgun shot, Kent smashed a Flood in combat form, and shouted to the marines not far behind:

"Hey! Everyone keep up! Don't fall behind!"

"Yes! Commander!" A group of marines with high morale immediately accelerated after hearing Kent's order.

"..." But Kent felt palpitations, and he knew that every time he had palpitations, something bad would happen.

This shows that his luck cannot suppress the arrival of unexpected events, and it is precisely because of this psychological preparation that he

That's why Marines don't stray too far from their Spartans and Elites.

"Enemy!" a Marine shouted.

At this moment, a "fat-headed and fat-bodied" guy suddenly appeared in the compartment in the corridor and walked slowly towards the marines.

"Da da!" The gunshot of the pulse rifle rang out.

The position where the fat guy appeared was less than three meters away from the marines' line, so the marines could kill it even with their eyes closed.

"No!" But Kent roared heart-piercingly, trying to stop the marines from shooting at the fat Flood.

"Crack!" After the pulse bullet hit the Fat Flood Demon, a small-scale explosion occurred instantly.

"Gulu!" However, the Fat Flood Demon suddenly began to inflate rapidly as if inflated.

"?" But although the marines didn't know why Kent suddenly yelled, they all kept a little distance after seeing the strange appearance of the fat flood monster.

But, this is not enough.

"Boom!" There was a loud noise, and the Fat Flood Demon suddenly exploded after swelling to the limit.

"ah!"

"Wow!"

What followed was that the violent air waves generated by the explosion knocked several marines at the forefront of the front into the air.

As for the marines in the middle of the line, they also fell to the ground one after another, and even Cortana fell to the ground with a scream.

Only the marines behind the front line, He Wu Liuqi, were not seriously affected.

It can be said that this Fat Flood Demon is like a grenade, directly causing the formation of the Marines to crumble.

"Grass!" At this time, Kent stared angrily, and hurried back to the rear with Sparta and the elites.

This Fat Flood Demon is the mother form.

The origin of the mother form is that when the combat form Zerg is seriously damaged, or the host body controlled by the infection form Zerg is not suitable for mutating into a combat form, it will mutate into the mother form Zerg.

For example, wild boars and gnolls directly mutate into their mother forms when they are infected, and their thin bodies are not suitable for fighting Zerg.

The Mother Form acts as an incubator for the Infection Form, protecting the Infection Form spores until fully developed, and releasing them during combat.

The parent form is larger, with a bloated sac containing unreleased Infested form Zerg resting on a short body with a pair of short legs, so it moves very slowly.

Moreover, there are several, or even dozens of infected spores in their swollen sacs, which will be released at the moment of explosion.

And the Marines are facing the current situation.

"Forehead..."

"My arm..."

The several marines who were knocked into the air by the Flood explosion in their mother form were more or less injured due to the violent impact, and fell to the ground moaning in pain.

"Ah! Ah! Take it away! Ah! Uh..."

At this moment, an infected spore that was released happened to catch a marine who was lying on the ground and wanted to stand up.

Since the marines in the front row were temporarily blinded by the explosion, no one can help such marines at this time.

And the newly infected form moved quickly, instantly piercing the marine's individual equipment with the infected needle.

At the same time, the voice of the Marine was getting smaller and smaller.
