Volume 1 Clone Army Chapter 101 Opportunities and Dangers
When the sound of the end of the battle rang out, Captain William's heart trembled and he couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
He regretted that he should not have hesitated and wasted the last minute in vain. He didn't know what the final outcome of the battle would be.
If he wins, that's fine, but if he loses, he will really regret it...
After the battle, all participants were sent out of the virtual battlefield.
At this time, Captain William had not even had time to see the final score.
Therefore, when he got up from the hibernation capsule, the first thing he did was to check the total score in the gambling system.
The final score of this battle in the arena is... 700:700!
The two sides ended up in a tie...
After seeing the result of the battle, Captain William immediately breathed a sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced because he finally did not lose this battle...
However, he soon frowned again and felt very annoyed.
Because they were already ahead of Li Jiu's team by hundreds of heads, and it could be said that they had already secured victory in this battle. Who would have thought that in the last ten minutes, Li Jiu would suddenly show his strength, showing a rhythm of turning the tables, and finally equalized the score...
As for Captain William's men, after coming out of the hibernation capsule, they stood aside with their heads down, feeling extremely depressed. They had originally thought that winning the battle was a sure thing, but they had not expected the result to be a draw .
However, although they were depressed, they did not dare to complain after feeling the young leader's anger.
Captain William became angrier the more he thought about it. He looked coldly at Li Jiu through the bulletproof glass in the middle of the gambling and sleeping room...
…
On Li Jiu's side, after the battle was over, his teammates also came out of the hibernation capsule.
Different from the last time, this time the team members looked a little depressed, and no one could laugh, even though they did not lose the battle this time.
Even Scar, Bacchus and Bella had a hint of apology on their faces.
Because, if they can win this battle, then today's gambling battle will be a complete victory, and they won't have to fight the last game.
But now, the arena has ended in a tie, so they have no choice but to continue fighting.
In this way, not only will everyone waste more time, but they will also have to take more risks. After all, no one can guarantee that they will win the next battle.
If unfortunately, the next battle is lost, then Captain William and his team will have to choose another battle map and play overtime...
This situation is not the result that everyone wants to see.
Li Jiu, in particular, didn't want to go into overtime with Captain William and the others.
Because the reason why he wanted to fight with Captain William was just to win 50,000 merit points from the other party and finally get the qualification to participate in the God of War Competition.
If it weren't for this reason, Li Jiu would have been too lazy to fight with Captain William and the others. After all, it was completely meaningless to him.
"Brother Li Jiu, I'm sorry. In this battle, not only did I fail to contribute much, but I became a burden..." Scar Brother came over, with a faint blush on his dark face, and said with some shame.
In Scar Brother's opinion, as a helper hired by Li Jiu, he should have contributed some strength to win the battle. However, in this battle, not only did he not contribute anything, but he became the target of the enemy's head harvesting, dragging everyone down, which made him feel very sorry for Li Jiu.
"Ahem...Brother Li Jiu, I'm sorry. I've become a burden in this battle..." The big black guy Bakus scratched his head awkwardly.
As for Bella, although she didn't say anything, she was biting her red lips, her eyes flickering, and it was obvious that she was saying: Little Leo, I'm sorry, I couldn't do anything...
Seeing the three of them looking uneasy, Li Jiu couldn't help but laugh. He shook his head and said nonchalantly, "Haha, there's no need to be like this. After all, we didn't lose. As long as we win the next battle, the final victory will still belong to us."
As he spoke, Li Jiu walked to Scar Brother, patted him on the shoulder, then glanced at Bakus and Bella, smiled and comforted him: "Besides, if you didn't hold the other side back, it would be difficult for me and the captain to even draw with them."
After hearing what Li Jiu said, Scar Brother and the other two couldn't help but smile at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
They knew that if it was the first 50 minutes of the battle, then what Li Jiu said was indeed correct. However, judging from Li Jiu's performance in the last 10 minutes, there was no need for anyone to join the battle. Li Jiu alone could have singled out five opponents!
However, they appreciated Li Jiu's kindness, so they didn't say anything more.
"Let's go to the lounge and take a rest." Li Jiu said to everyone with a smile.
After this close combat, everyone's energy consumption was even more serious than the previous battle, because close combat was more intense than gunfights. Therefore, everyone urgently needed to take a good rest so that they could meet the next battle in the best condition.
Scar Brother and the other two nodded and prepared to go to the lounge with Li Jiu.
However, when Li Jiu was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly found that Captain Kaqi was standing there in a daze, with no intention of moving at all.
"Huh?" Li Jiu looked back at Kaqi, frowned slightly, and felt a little confused. What happened to the captain?
Could it be that she had consumed too much energy in the previous battle and needed to rest on the spot?
"Captain, are you okay?" Li Jiu walked to Kaqi and asked with concern.
Kaqi did not respond to Li Jiu immediately, but just gave him a look, indicating that he should stand aside and wait for a while...
After a minute or two, Kaqi blinked, looked at Li Jiu with a slightly serious expression, and said calmly: "I was just talking to the team leader."
"Captain?" Li Jiu was stunned for a moment, looking a little surprised. "Captain, is there something you need?"
"Yeah." Kaqi nodded, then glanced at everyone and said, "Let's go to the lounge first."
Everyone looked at Kaqi's serious expression, and they were all very curious about what the team leader Donna had said to her.
So next, everyone nodded and walked towards the lounge together.
…
When everyone arrived at the lounge, they all sat down around a table, and Li Jiu conscientiously bought drinks for everyone.
"Captain, what does the commander want to see you about?" Li Jiu took a sip of beer and asked impatiently.
He was a little worried that the leader might call Kaqi back to the base temporarily. If that were the case, it would be bad... After all, the gambling battle had not yet been decided. Once Kaqi left, the next battle would probably not be easy...
"The captain wants us to get back to the base as soon as possible." Kaqi took a sip of the drink in her hand and said seriously.
"What? Go back to the base...or us..." Li Jiu frowned immediately and couldn't help muttering.
Could it be that whatever I feared would come true? Or was it that my bad luck was too effective...
What's even more terrible is that from what Kaqi said, it seems that the leader not only wants her to go back, but also wants everyone present to be called back.
However, what Kaqi said next finally made Li Jiu feel relieved.
"But don't worry about affecting today's gambling battle. We just need to rush back tonight." Seeing the worry on everyone's faces, Kaqi immediately added.
"Did the captain tell us why he was in such a hurry to call us back?" After Li Jiu felt relieved, he immediately asked curiously.
"Because of the needs of war." Kaqi looked around at everyone and said coldly.
"Necessary for war? What does that mean?" Li Jiu frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that something big was about to happen...
At the same time, Scar Brother and the other two had puzzled looks on their faces.
"According to the captain, some time ago, the Alliance discovered several areas in northern Asia that stored large amounts of rare minerals. Among those minerals are the raw materials necessary for making genetic enhancers. But soon, the Defender Empire discovered that place and seized part of it from the Alliance. As a result, the Alliance and the Defender Empire started a fierce battle for it. And, this triggered a round of intense conflict between the Alliance and the Defender Empire on a global scale." Kaqi explained slowly.
"That's why the number of missions assigned by the Alliance military has suddenly increased recently. This is a rare opportunity for our Night Rose Mercenary Group to grow stronger. Therefore, the leader hopes that we can return to the base as soon as possible and accept a large number of missions starting tomorrow."
After listening to Kaqi's explanation, everyone couldn't help but show a solemn expression on their faces.
Because, according to Kaqi, it is obvious that the war situation has become more tense.
The worsening war situation is an opportunity for mercenaries, but it also means a higher mortality rate...
Although everyone now lives within the alliance's territory and is protected by the super-intelligent "Xingtian" defense system, it seems that they are living in a peaceful era, but everyone knows that once they leave the alliance's territory, there will be a battlefield filled with smoke outside.
And that battlefield is both the mercenaries’ temple of glory and their grave...
Especially Scar Brother, as a retired soldier from the army, he was deeply impressed by the brutal war outside the alliance. In fact, every time he thought of the legion battles that were like meat grinders, even a man with a strong will like him couldn't help but feel a little scared...
However, after hearing the news that the war situation had suddenly become tense, Li Jiu did not become uneasy like his teammates. Instead, he became secretly excited...
Because, as the saying goes, heroes emerge in troubled times!
Li Jiu is not afraid of too many tasks, nor is he afraid of high risks. Because more tasks mean more opportunities, and higher risks mean greater rewards!
Therefore, in Li Jiu's eyes, every mission is a stepping stone for him to reach the pinnacle of his life. He is actually afraid that there are not enough missions...
The news brought by Kaqi is definitely good news for Li Jiu.
However, before starting to do a lot of tasks, he still has to win today's gambling battle first.
After all, there are many tasks and they can be done at any time, but the God of War Tournament only happens once a year, and Li Jiu doesn't want to miss this only chance...
So, after that, Li Jiu and his friends chatted and rested for half an hour, and then went into the gambling battle dormant room again, ready to start the last gambling battle... New Year's Square!
