Chapter 421: Retreat
The captain died, and Maoqiu decided to retreat, but Bai Yufei did not intend to retreat. Because of Bai Chifei's death, she seemed to have temporarily lost the will to fight.
"Hey, what should we do? Should we retreat?" Kong Haifeng asked.
"But Yu Fei hasn't left yet. He might even fight with Su Ming. Maybe we can help." Ma Ning said solemnly.
"Do you really think we can still fight?" Kong Haifeng sighed and turned to Ma Ning who was reading the fortune. "The captain and Ren Jian are both dead, and Maoqiu is also preparing to run away."
"Idiot! Do you think we can survive if we run away now?!" Ma Ning turned his head and shouted harshly.
Kong Haifeng was stunned by the shouting.
It really woke me up.
Kong Haifeng suddenly understood.
This mission is different from any previous mission. In previous missions, if you failed, you could withdraw and start over. Even if you couldn’t start over, you could just give up and stop the loss.
But this time they are in a strange and weird space. If they can't escape from this place in the end, they will only die.
Moreover, even if he escaped temporarily, he could not go far. Su Ming could recover from his injuries easily, but the dead captain and teammates could not be resurrected. Su Ming would definitely not have a chance of winning the next time he fought.
"If we hold on a little longer, maybe we can still win!" Ma Ning stared into Kong Haifeng's eyes with a firm gaze and a serious expression.
Kong Haifeng stared at Ma Ning in surprise, with a questioning look in his eyes.
"Although Su Ming still looks like a strong fighter, think calmly about the strength of his supernatural powers!" Ma Ning asked.
Kong Haifeng lowered his head and thought for a few seconds. He had no idea in his mind. What else could affect the strength of the superpower? Apart from the superpower's own combat IQ, the only thing that could affect the strength of the superpower itself was the strength of the superpower itself.
"Silly! Mental power!" The answer blurted out from Ma Ning's mouth, and Kong Haifeng suddenly woke up.
Yes! Mental strength is also the key to determining the strength of superpowers. Because Su Ming's performance throughout the game seemed too invincible, even a little like he would never die, so they instinctively ignored that Su Ming's special abilities also needed mental strength to support them.
And since it requires the consumption of mental energy, the performance of superpowers in battle will eventually have a critical point. As long as they can survive this critical point, they can break through Su Ming's defense and kill Su Ming easily!
It is indeed possible, but the prerequisite is that you can hold on.
"call out!"
The sound of an object breaking through air.
"Bang!"
This is the sound of metal objects hitting reinforced concrete, smashing the reinforced concrete.
When Kong Haifeng nodded and agreed to his teammates, ready to take the risk and fight to the death, a long spear penetrated the raised low wall at the edge of the stairs, and the tip of the spear was only ten centimeters away from his nose.
Cold sweat dripped from the tip of Kong Haifeng's nose. He swallowed and looked at Ma Ning opposite him. Ma Ning was staring at the iron spear that went through the wall, his face also covered with cold sweat.
They hid well. After crouching down, their bodies were completely hidden under the low wall. It was impossible for Su Ming to see them. How did Su Ming know their exact location? Could it be that the guy had the ability of perspective?
Below, Su Ming sighed in disappointment. During the battle just now, there were two people observing him from that direction, and he felt that they were still there now.
That's why Su Ming used a blood-made blade to make a slender gun, and fired a shot directly at the wall of the building. He hoped that he had enough strength to allow this not-so-heavy iron gun to penetrate the reinforced concrete and kill the opponent directly. To this end, he spent a lot of blood to sharpen the tip of the weapon.
But with that shot just now, Su Ming felt that he did not kill anyone. Although he could vaguely feel in his mind what the best and most accurate arc and throwing force were, his body could not perfectly replicate the ideas in his mind.
Just like a mathematician can easily calculate the direction and magnitude of force in a basketball three-point shot, but still fails when he tries it himself, although his super intuition allows him to know the best approach, his body cannot perfectly replicate it in sync.
After one failure, he had no chance for the second time. His mental energy was consumed too much, and more mental energy needed to be reserved to deal with Bai Yufei who was present.
As for the escaped ball of fur, Su Ming did not chase it at all.
During that lizardman hunting battle, Maoqiu demonstrated the many effects of his special ability [Upgrade Game]. Among them, the most impressive one, in addition to teleportation, was the effect of converting external damage into "data damage".
The specific manifestation is that no matter whether it is cut with a knife or burned with fire, no scars can be left on the body of the fur ball. Cutting the fur ball with a knife will indeed feel like hitting a person, but the manifestation of the injury is a vague red flashing light. This flashing light will remain on the body of the fur ball for a period of time as a sign of injury, but it will not affect the fur ball's ability to move.
All injuries will be converted into numerical values and displayed on the HP bar that Maoqiu can see. Once the HP reaches zero, the person will die.
The effect of [Upgrade Game] is somewhat similar to Su Ming's characteristic [Bone Demon's Thoughts]. Both are special abilities that allow one to maintain normal level and continue fighting even when suffering extremely serious injuries without affecting their mobility.
Su Ming didn't chase after the fur ball just now because he knew it would be useless even if he did. Unless he could directly reduce the fur ball's HP to zero, he would not be able to stop the opponent if he wanted to escape.
Besides, Bai Yufei was still here and he couldn't catch up with him.
On the rooftop, Ma Ning and Kong Haifeng gave up the idea of staying at the scene. Su Ming's blind shot just now scared them.
Ma Ning and Kong Haifeng, as members of the Owl Team, although they only assist the psychics, they have killed hundreds of people with their own hands. They have excellent psychological qualities and are the kind of desperadoes who can fight to the death even when facing strong enemies. They can keep a cool head even in the most critical moments.
But these wonderful fighting qualities are not effective at all times. Whether they can maintain this quality depends on their awareness of the situation.
And now, the situation at the scene was completely beyond the scope of their brains' analysis.
How many superpowers does Su Ming have?
Why can he accurately lock onto their position through walls?
To what extent has his mental energy been depleted?
Ma Ning and Kong Haifeng could not come up with a reliable answer to the first question alone. Before taking action, they thought Su Ming had three superpowers, some of which were composite superpowers.
But now, the number of superpowers Su Ming displayed was a little bit wrong.
He can release fire and seems to be able to control the currents of air.
He can create some random weapons out of thin air, and can continue fighting even if only bones are left. The hardness of his bones is beyond imagination. Even the magic sword transformed by Bai Yufei cannot cut through his bones.
In addition, this guy can eat his own flesh to recover from some of his injuries! His melee ability is like Superman, and he can kick Bai Yufei away with one kick!
Just now... he threw a steel gun across the wall and almost killed Kong Haifeng.
