Gao Wu: If this BOSS isn't nerfed, is it even playable?

Chapter 88 Sacrifice
Zhang Yuqing was stunned.

This was the first time she had ever heard Lin Ye say, "I need your help."

He has always been like an insurmountable mountain.

Calm, powerful, and omnipotent.

He always walks at the forefront, scouting everything and keeping all dangers at bay.

I am more like a burden who is constantly protected by him and can only occasionally play a role.

But now, Lin Ye has extended an invitation to her for help.

Zhang Yuqing's heart tightened suddenly, and an indescribable shiver rose up her spine, but it was not fear, but an excitement of being recognized and needed.

Without thinking, she blurted out, "Okay!"

Lin Ye's expression was more serious than ever before.

"Don't rush to agree."

"If we want to win, we have to risk everything, even your and my lives."

Even so, it only gives us a chance to kill it.

Are you still willing?

Lin Ye's voice was calm, yet it carried a chilling indifference to life and death.

"If you're willing, I'll consider your life as well."

In the eyes of the boy before her, Zhang Yuqing saw an extreme fighting spirit and an almost insane desire for victory.

It was a light that burned the soul.

The last vestiges of fear in Zhang Yuqing's heart were completely ignited and burned away by this frenzied fighting spirit.

She nodded with unwavering determination.

"Since the game is almost over anyway, let's give it our all!"

"it is good."

Lin Ye closed his eyes after receiving her confirmation.

His brain began to work frantically, deducing possible ways to break the deadlock.

The first thing that can be confirmed is that this severely injured Crystal Spirit larva is extremely dependent on absorbing the life energy of other creatures to recover.

The reason it didn't continue the pursuit was because, in its calculations, the energy required to hunt down the two of them far outweighed the gains from capturing them.

Starting from this point, as long as its energy source is cut off, its combat power can be greatly weakened, and it may even be forced to use its stored energy, causing its injuries to worsen further.

But at this moment, trying to wipe out all the mutated beasts in the entire area is nothing short of a pipe dream.

Lin Ye recalled the hundreds of shriveled mutated beast corpses in the passage earlier.

He spent the day hunting in other parts of the South District and in countless subway tunnels.

But I have never seen such a dense concentration of corpses.

This indicates that the Crystal Spirit larva has been active within this area recently.

It might also be to conserve energy, too lazy to take the initiative to attack, and instead wait for those wandering mutated beasts to come to it.

A less-than-perfect plan, even one with flaws, began to rapidly take shape in Lin Ye's mind.

Only ten hours left, that's too short.

Unable to plan or arrange things in greater depth, he could only use the simplest and most brutal method to create a battlefield that was most advantageous to him.

……

More than eight hours later.

The area where the subway collapsed was eerily silent.

Lin Ye stood in the middle of a wide underground main road.

Behind him, a wall of fire, several meters wide, was burning fiercely, illuminating the entire passage as if it were a hellish inferno.

On the other side of the flames, the occasional uneasy roars of mutated beasts could be heard, but their innate fear of fire made them want to avoid it at all costs.

In front of Lin Ye, in the darkness leading to the core of the collapsed area, lay dozens of mutated beast corpses that he had just killed, the thick stench of blood filling the air.

at the same time.

At the other end of this passage, about ten kilometers away.

Zhang Yuqing was also standing behind a burning wall of fire.

These two firewalls were built by Lin Ye and her over several hours by collecting and piling up all the flammable materials, such as tires from abandoned vehicles and foam plastic products, in the vicinity.

These things won't burn for very long.

But it can block the mutated beasts that continue to surge in from behind.

He transformed this ten-kilometer-long underground passage into a closed space. Lin Ye eliminated most of the mutated beasts within.

The mutated beasts outside the arena dared not cross the wall of fire and danger.

If the hungry Crystal Spirit larva discovers that no more foolish mutated beasts are coming to it as takeout, then it will only have two choices.

Alternatively, they can leave this familiar hunting ground and go to more distant places to find prey.

Alternatively, enter this cleared area and find the culprit who caused all of this to happen.

This plan is riddled with flaws and fraught with uncertainty.

Lin Ye couldn't even be completely sure if the juvenile was really still in this area and hadn't left.

But he had no choice but to gamble.

Use all the time you have left to gamble that it will come.

Time passes minute by minute.

More than an hour passed.

The flames on the firewall began to gradually subside.

Lin Ye's heart sank as well.

Has it failed?

The moment the thought flashed through his mind.

In the endless darkness of the distance, a faint purple light suddenly appeared without warning.

coming!

Lin Ye's heart skipped a beat, but all the muscles in his body instantly relaxed, entering a state of absolute calmness.

That purple light was the strange, single eye of the Crystal Spirit Clan's juvenile form.

It moved slowly in the darkness, as if it were surveying its territory.

It saw the charred corpses of mutated beasts scattered all over the ground, and it also saw Lin Ye, the only human standing there.

Its single eye was fixed on Lin Ye.

A cold, scrutinizing, and murderous mental wave surged in like a tide.

Lin Ye remained expressionless, silently staring at it.

However, when it was still several hundred meters away from Lin Ye, it suddenly stopped.

Then, a clearly discernible glint appeared in that single eye…

disdain.

It was as if it were mocking a foolish hunter who had set a poorly designed trap.

Then it turned around and left!

No hesitation!

A flash of purple light, moving at incredible speed, was about to disappear back into the darkness in the distance in the blink of an eye.

Lin Ye's pupils suddenly contracted.

The trap failed!

Two hundred meters ahead of him, beneath the ground beneath his feet, lay the last backup energy module he had obtained from the group at Ningbo University of Science and Technology.

Lin Ye had previously discovered that the T-3 exoskeleton armor had a built-in self-destruct function for emergency situations.

His plan was to use himself as bait to lure the Crystal Spirit Clan larva into the core area of ​​the explosion.

He decided to sacrifice himself and perish together with this alien race.

Even if it doesn't kill it, it can at least severely injure it.

Having suffered damage from the core of the explosion and completely lacking energy replenishment, Lin Ye placed all his bets on Zhang Yuqing, who was ten kilometers away.

He hoped she could seize that fleeting opportunity to deliver the final blow to the dying larva.

Unfortunately, this plan has completely fallen through!
Unlike mutated beasts, which only possess primal hunting instincts.

This Crystal Spirit, even though it was just a juvenile equivalent to a human infant, still displayed intelligence and vigilance far exceeding that of ordinary mutated beasts.

Chase!
Lin Ye activated his armor, preparing for a final gamble.

Less than half a minute after Lin Ye began his pursuit.

boom--! ! !
A deafening roar, so deep it seemed to tear the earth apart, came from an extremely distant direction!
The sound pierced through the thick layers of rock and concrete, carrying an unparalleled power that swept through the entire underground space!

Immediately afterwards, even from several kilometers away, a towering flame illuminated the entire underground passage as bright as day!
