Volume 4: Biochemical Attack Chapter 709 I'm Going to Save the Leader
At this time, Scar Brother and the others were all hoping that Li Jiu could come out as soon as possible.
Because the longer the time is delayed, the more dangerous it will be for Li Jiu!
After all, you have to know that Wanghai City is a prosperous city on the coast of the Eastern Province, and its population is definitely not less than that of Shoushan City in Zhongzhou Province!
Although many citizens escaped after the biological invasion broke out, and many of them were even rescued by the alliance’s army, there were at least tens of millions of people who did not have time to evacuate!
And tens of millions of alliance citizens means that there may be tens of millions of biochemical ghosts in the entire Wanghai City!
Faced with so many biological ghosts, let alone Li Jiu, even if the alliance's ace special operations battalion and the Flying Tigers special operations battalion were all dispatched, there would be no trace left in the end!
Therefore, Li Jiu must leave quickly before too many biochemical monsters gather in the town ahead, otherwise it will be too late!
"Little Leo, you must come back alive..." Bella's long orange hair fluttered in the wind. There was a worried look in her eyes. She stared at the town ahead and prayed silently .
At the same time, Scar Brother and the others were all frowning, worried about Li Jiu.
However, no matter how worried they were, they had no way to help Li Jiu now.
After all, the ammunition they carried was limited to begin with, and after the battle just now, more than half of it had been used up, and now there was very little left. With their limited ammunition, they would probably run out before they could reach Li Jiu. By then, they would have no choice but to use melee weapons to fight those biochemical monsters.
But you have to know that among those biochemical monsters, the weakest ones are the same level three warriors as them, and there are even powerful level four, level five, and level six biochemical warriors among them!
Therefore, if they were to fight those biochemical ghosts in close combat, they would probably die even faster!
Therefore, even if they were willing to risk their lives to find Li Jiu, it would not have any effect.
"I'm going to save the leader!"
Unexpectedly, when the atmosphere at the scene was deathly silent, a brown-haired man standing in front of the group of soldiers behind him suddenly spoke in a deep voice. His tone was very calm, but it was faintly filled with a sense of determination.
"Hmm? You..."
Hearing this sudden voice, the members of the fifth team were stunned at the same time and looked back.
The person who spoke was Gordon, the mercenary from the Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group that Li Jiu brought with him specially this time!
Speaking of which, the team members didn't know much about Gordon, a sturdy man with brown hair and skin as white as copper. Because when they came, Li Jiu simply introduced Gordon's general situation to everyone without going into details. Gordon didn't seem to like talking much either. He didn't say much along the way, and even before that, he just followed the soldiers silently.
Now the team members only know that he is a mercenary in Li Jiu's Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group, and currently he is only a first-class soldier with the rank of private.
"Gordon, I know you are worried about your leader, but with your current strength... I'm afraid that even if you go, you won't be able to help Brother Li Jiu at all, and you will lose your life in vain!" Scar Brother looked at Gordon, frowned, and advised: "You should wait here with us. I believe Brother Li Jiu will find a way to escape."
"Yes, brother, you are willing to take risks for our captain. You are very loyal. I, Bakus, admire you very much!" Bakus said with a serious face, "But based on your strength as a soldier of this level, I am afraid you are not as good as us. Even we are not sure at all, let alone you? Believe me, after so many years of life and death with the captain, we have already been brothers in life and death. As long as you are sure, I, Bakus, will definitely be the first to rush up without you even saying anything!"
As he spoke, Bacchus walked up to Gordon, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a comforting tone: "But the problem now is that, in fact, neither you nor we can help the captain. Therefore, we can only choose to trust the captain and wait here. By the way, I speak directly, please don't mind..." At the end, Bacchus forced a smile.
As for the other team members, although they did not speak, they all looked at Gordon and nodded silently, meaning that he should not act impulsively to avoid losing his life in vain.
In the eyes of the team members, Gordon's strength was very weak and there was no hope for him to help Li Jiu at all. Naturally, they were unwilling to watch him die.
"No need to say more, everyone. I, Gordon, appreciate your kindness." Unexpectedly, Gordon said calmly, "But I am a clone warrior, and I am a mercenary in the virtual world. So, I know what a mercenary should do on the battlefield. Although the situation in this world is a little different from that in the virtual world, in my opinion, the so-called mercenaries are those who take money to help others get rid of disasters!"
"Now that I have become a mercenary under Captain Li Jiu and have received his salary, this life now belongs to him! Unless one day I stop working with him, then I will no longer be obliged to risk my life for him. This is the principle I have set since the moment I became a mercenary, and I will never change it!" Gordon looked around at everyone, his tone calm, with an unshakable tenacity. As he spoke, a proud smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Besides, in that virtual world, I am at least the king of mercenaries. I know what dangers I can take and what dangers I should avoid. So, you don't have to worry too much about me."
"Moreover, the most important thing is that in that virtual world, the enemies I killed were all soldiers from other countries and organizations. Killing my own kind was meaningless and I got tired of it. But today, my enemies are these biochemical monsters. Although they were human before, they are not now. Killing aliens? This is new and interesting to me. I didn't kill enough just now, so now I can go back and satisfy my craving!"
After hearing Gordon's words, everyone at the scene was stunned.
Taking money to help others get rid of disasters? It turns out that the reason why Gordon wanted to go back to save Li Jiu was not because of his deep feelings for Li Jiu, but because he just wanted to be a conscientious mercenary.
The king of mercenaries? Who would have thought that this quiet guy could be so successful in the virtual world?
And the most important thing is that this guy hadn't killed enough just now, and he wanted to go back and satisfy himself by killing some more biochemical ghosts?
This... this kind of person in the real world is definitely a battle maniac!
At this moment, the team members all felt that this brown-haired man, who was only a level one fighter, might have a fanatical war fire hidden in his heart that could explode at any time.
After Gordon finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to the people at the scene, and walked towards the town with an M4A1 in his arms.
"Gordon!" Seeing this scene, Scar Brother frowned again and shouted.
With Li Jiu not here, Scar Brother is the person in charge here and is responsible for everyone's safety!
From Scar's perspective, since Gordon was brought to this dangerous mission by Li Jiu as just a private, it was very likely that Li Jiu attached great importance to this mercenary and wanted to bring him here to broaden his horizons and gain some experience.
Therefore, Scar Brother cannot just watch Gordon go to his death, otherwise he will have a hard time explaining himself when Li Jiu comes back.
"Hmm?" Gordon frowned and stopped. "Brother Scar, right? Although you are a major, and I know that you and the captain are good brothers, you are not a member of our Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group. So, you should not be able to control my actions, right?"
"This..." Scar Brother was choked for a moment, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice. He didn't expect that despite his kindness, the other party didn't seem to appreciate it.
"I think... why not just let him go ?" At this moment, Bella on the side suddenly said after a moment of hesitation.
"Huh? Bella, you have to know his strength..." Scar was anxious. He didn't expect that Gordon, the new recruit, was so ignorant of the danger, and Bella, the old soldier, would actually agree to it, so he hurriedly said.
"Scar, you don't have to worry too much." Bella thought for a moment and shook her head. She looked at Gordon's back and said in a firm tone, "I think... this friend may really be able to help Leo, so let him go."
“This…” Scar Brother was a little entangled. After thinking for a moment, he sighed and said helplessly: “Well, okay, do whatever you want. Anyway, I really don’t have the right to order anyone…”
"Thank you very much!" Gordon said with his back to the crowd, and then resolutely walked towards the town full of biochemical ghosts in front of him...
"Bella, what do you think? I believe you must have your own reasons." After watching Gordon leave, Xiaodao beside him asked indifferently.
"Actually, I can't explain it clearly now..." Bella looked ahead and shook her head, "It's just... have you ever thought about this, if Gordon's strength is really just a first-level warrior, with Leo's always calm personality, how could he easily bring him to participate in such a dangerous mission?"
"Huh? It seems to make some sense..." Bacchus behind him was suddenly stunned and said thoughtfully.
At the same time, Scar and the others couldn't help but look at Gordon's back in the distance again and began to think secretly.
…
At the same time, in the square of the town ahead, Li Jiu was still fighting bloody battles.
As the battle continued, the wounds on his body continued to increase, and the emerald green blood had already dyed his whole body. Even the Hulk's super recovery ability could not recover in time!
After all, he was facing too many enemies now, and the attacks were continuous, not giving him any chance to breathe!
During the battle, although he had been trying hard to break out of the siege, he had only managed to move the battle group to the edge of the square, and was still surrounded by a large number of biochemical ghosts.
