Chapter Forty-Three This Man Resembles Me
ouldn't know or be willing to answer, which is normal.However, that wouldn't solve the big problems. There was one small thing Lu Cheng remembered from his black card draw—a rumor he’d heard. He might...Violent energies tore between the two battlefields, with corrupting power constantly attempting to seep into the field cards, tainting them.
The scarecrow at the entrance of Story Town has been deeply affected, evolving from a white card to a blue card, causing great trouble for the military divisions.
"Lieutenant, we must retreat immediately and request reinforcements!" a white-haired veteran of the arcane research stated with finality.
"This incident is beyond our capabilities, the military should send a stronger force to handle it." The chairman of Andy Group walked in from outside, looking worried.
Li En took a deep breath and slammed his fist against the stone wall. A goblin peeking out was startled and retreated.
"Are you kidding me I'm asking you guys, are you serious!"
"To leave 30,000 people behind in the deteriorating stage 2 dungeon What! As soon as the domain card is withdrawn, this space will collapse immediately, and the exit will be sealed again. Who will save them!"
But...Lieutenant! Your domain card will be tainted if you stay here too!
"I will never back down!" Li En roared.
Everyone present was stunned by the overwhelming aura. In their own domain, the bonuses granted by a Domain Card Master were immense.
"Big deal, I'll just give up this card! I won't be a domain master anymore. Let's go and fight them!"
"Wait!" Another young expert in extradimensional research called out to the lieutenant.
"Lieutenant, please calm down. We face immense difficulty rescuing anyone from the Stage 2 deterioration realm!"
When will the headquarters reinforcements arrive
"Andy's finance group's warehouse cluster is on fire in the south, most of the law enforcement went there to put out the fire, couldn't come here for a while. And the rest are too far away from here, tonight only we!"
"How are you guys again!" Lee Eun turned her head and glared angrily at Andy Group's chairman.
"Oh, this... " The Chairman's face was full of helplessness: "We are also victims... Our direct economic loss tonight..."
"Shut up, now we break through immediately, rescue will find everyone they can!"
The chairman bowed his head. Although Andy's consortium suffered heavy losses tonight, luckily the two pieces of [energy-absorbing ore] at the entrance had been quietly removed. Now, all he had to do was try his best to prevent the rescue. Dika wouldn't last more than 40 minutes here. In such a short time, even if some tourists were rescued, there would be no time to investigate the secret realm. He himself couldn't afford to be exposed!
"We still don't know what's going on inside the secret realm. Can anyone tell me!" Lieutenant Li enquired.
...and a deathly silence fell upon the scene.
It was a runner who broke the silence, entering the mine.
"Lieutenant! A team of ours is in the deteriorating Abyssal Realm! They were secretly infiltrated before! They've now made contact with us!"
Where are they
They said they just killed a corrupted Pinocchio with a group of Winter Lion Academy students and are now preparing to lead their team to the exit!
Where are they!
The scout pointed to a location on the electronic map.
........
The carpenter's workshop.
Wang Han was shouting loudly: "The military's domain card has not given up on us, they will stay until the last moment. As long as we can wait for the rescue vehicle, everyone can go home!"
Lu Cheng shook his head.
He knew that Wang Han's words were impossible to do.
It is a 20-minute drive to the exit, and it takes 40 minutes for the rescue vehicle to make a round trip.
However, a white 4-star domain card couldn't possibly last for 40 minutes in a deteriorated realm...
Tang Wuyyao was taking care of the injured Liu Hongying. Tang Wuyyao was too tired, leaning against her to doze off, while Fatty probably had already fallen asleep.
"Hey Lu, what are you doing Go get some rest. You guys were really amazing just now. Thanks to you guys, we're good for the next 20 minutes. We can hold it down here." A Blue Card Master walked over and patted Lu Cheng on the shoulder.
Lu Cheng is dismantling the Pinocchio (Degenerate) in front of him while wearing gloves.
This is an elite card, though it is completely filled with dark energy, Lu Cheng still chooses to dismantle it.
"Oh, I'm making some preparations..."
"This is...a deteriorated card, it can't be used." The Blue Card Master kindly reminded.
"I know, I won't use it unless absolutely necessary," Lu Cheng smiled.
"Oh, then be careful! I don't know how to make cards either. I went ahead to scout. Stage 2 is tough!"
"Alright!"
.......
Wang Han quietly walked out of the camp, took out a cigarette and lit it, glanced back, and prepared to walk into the night.
"Captain Wang, where are you going"
He was taken aback, turning around suddenly. This was... the support from today's student squad
"Oh, come out for some fresh air."
Lu Cheng shrugged.
"Have the rescue vehicles really arrived"
"Yes."
Lu Cheng stared at Wang Han's eyes. This man's gaze was steady, not like someone who was lying.
"Why A 4-star domain card obviously can't last for 40 minutes..."
Wang Han was taken aback. The young man before him didn't look like a domain card master at all, how did he know
Could it be that the content of the call was overheard
This is impossible.
"Captain Wang, time is of the essence. Let me cut to the chase, where are you going"
"Your name is...Lu Cheng" Wang Han took a drag of his cigarette.
"Yes."
"We talked it over, the domain card can't actually hold for 40 minutes....But the lieutenant isn't ready to retreat, and he did send out a rescue vehicle."
"Do you have any other options"
In the worsening realm, there are some individuals who absorb especially large amounts of worsening energy... As long as they are slain, the worsening level of the realm will temporarily regress for a period of time...
"Worse instance boss"
"That's right, the Pinocchio we just killed caused the Secret Realm's deterioration index to drop by 13.6% for a short time."
Then what is this
"The rescue team said... they detected a massive energy storm gathering around us, you know what that is, I'm going to... kill it!"
"You're going to die." Lu Cheng frowned. A 2nd stage Nightmare Realm boss, definitely a blue 10-star card!
Wang Han, this Blue 5-star card master, isn't even a match for 20 of them.
Even if everyone in the camp added up their star blue card delivery... it still wouldn't be enough.
"That's not necessarily so, alright, you go back. I will kill it, I promise!" A glint of... determination flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes.
"Captain Wang, you didn't complete the mission."
"Forget it, anyway, it's the last time. I'll tell you kid." Wang Han took a deep drag of his cigarette. "You know some of those Purple Card Masters have a kind of suicidal fighting style"
A certain string in Lu Cheng's heart seemed to vibrate.
I can do that too, I'm going to overload my deck and trade lives with it!
「.......」
Lu Cheng was stunned. This sounded like... something he would do. Oh, no, wait, he had already done it.
"Go back. Remember not to tell anyone, the people at the camp won't be of any use. Blue 10 Star isn't about having more people!" Wang Han waved his hand and was about to leave.
Lu Cheng removed the gloves from his hands and placed them back into his deck. He suddenly spoke up.
"I'll go too."
"You" Wang Han looked surprised.
"Captain Wang, I still insist on my opinion. You can't complete the mission." Lu Cheng looked at Wang Han: "I'm an assistant, I have use, at least, I can give you some energy back."
Wang Han remained silent. He had to admit, he was right. The War Card masters in the camp were running low on energy and couldn't offer much help. This auxiliary, though only a white 4-star, could recover some energy with his pot. That might be quite crucial.
"Captain Wang, you failed. I'm everywhere, aren't I" "West Coast Trojans Garrison". It's estimated that his Blue Bar was used quite a bit during his deployment. After it's depleted, energy will be required to recharge him again through further recruit...
