My Arknights Life Diary

The patriot looked at the mountains in the distance and made up his mind.

He stood up and directed these people to complete the defense line arrangement once again. Then, he rarely summoned all the shield guards and spoke to them.

"I need 11 people, 11 people who are willing to go to the mountains with me and Lezavog. I can't guarantee whether you can survive or whether your concept still exists.

We may face something more terrible than death, a test for both the spirit and the body. Who of you is willing to go with me?"

As soon as the patriot finished speaking, hundreds of people immediately expressed their willingness to join the team.

The Patriot looked at these people and didn't say much. He had anticipated this situation. He just ordered them to stand in a row, and the Patriot walked past them and started to select them.

"Too young...

Usulu, this mission is not for you.

Schwartz, you are not up to this mission.

Kitorov you......"

"Captain, you know very well that I have experience dealing with that kind of thing, and my bones are not completely rusted yet. Count me in, and let's just give it one last try!"

"...........All right."

The Patriot looked at the old shield who had followed him for decades and finally chose to add him to the thirteen people.

In this screening, the Patriot selected seven people from hundreds of people. He was not very satisfied with this and planned to look for some more people from other places.

Then, the news spread to other parts of the position. What the position lacked the least was people who were not afraid of death. It didn't take long for the Patriots to find 13 people including him and Lezavo.

Among these 13 people

There are seven shield guards, five of whom are old shield guards who followed the Patriots back then. They are Kitoloff, Vannit, Svanir, Glendo and Sftola.

There are also two people among the new generation of shields who are quite strong and have volunteered to sign up. They are Ivanova and Lasvi.

There are four powerful half-Sarkaz, among them there are two great swordsmen, Gray Sword and Delau.

A strong crossbowman, Yuanfeng, and a Sarkaz warlock with powerful Originium skills, Kved.

And two powerful pure-blooded Wendigos.

Bozocasti the Patriot

"Space Marine (crossed out)" "Astartes (also crossed out)" "Hmm... a pure-blooded Wendigo wearing mysterious armor (let's just use this title)" Lezavog.

.............

"Father, my brothers and sisters and I are willing to join this battle..."

Before leaving, Froststar and a group of members of the Snow Monster Squad stopped the Patriot and others.

When she was a child, she had heard the shield guard uncles tell stories about her father hunting alien species outside of civilization, and she knew the danger of this journey.

"Frost Star, this is not the place you should be. Go back to where you were supposed to be stationed. If nothing unexpected happens, the next wave of attacks will come soon! This is an order!"

"But........"

"No buts! The team is full. Froststar, take them back to where you should be to block the next wave of attacks! This is fate. Do you need me to say it again?"

The Patriot said this, ignoring the Snow Monster Squad next to him, and led his team deep into the vast snowfield.

Frost Star's strength is undoubtedly strong, and bringing her along may indeed help on this trip.

But the patriot is also aware of the danger of his current behavior. Although he is reluctant to admit it, the fact is that he has no guarantee of success.

Because the erosion of that thing was too strong, a mountain range appeared out of thin air... The Patriot knew very well that that thing would be the strongest evil demon he had ever dealt with in his life.

Froststar is indeed strong, but when facing that kind of thing, bringing her along or not actually doesn't play a decisive role. If the current team goes there, all of them will be killed.

Taking Frost Star along would just be adding one more person's name to the death list. Instead of following them to die, it would be better for Frost Star to stay in the position where she can play a greater role.

Of course, the more important point is that as a father, he doesn't want to see his daughter die with him.

A crisp photo-taking sound was heard. It was a photo taken by a crossbowman towards the 13 people who were going away.

He used to be a courier, or rather he was a courier before he became infected, and this camera was one of the tools he used in his previous job.

He didn't know why he wanted to take pictures, but as he looked at the 13 people heading towards the mountains deep in the snowfield, he always felt that if he didn't take pictures now, he would regret it later.

So he took a picture of the backs of the 13 people as they walked away.

"Master Bozhukas, I have always wanted to ask you one thing, why can our team only have 13 people?"

In the snowy plain, the Sarkaz greatsword player, who was called Gray Sword by his companions, trotted over to the Patriot and asked.

The Patriot glanced at the guy and gave the answer in a flat tone.

"Most demon-hunting teams consist of 13 people. The reason is that 13 is the number that is least affected by demons.

If you don't want to have one more or one less person in your squad, then you'd better form a squad of 13 people."

"What the hell, numbers can be influenced? Can he turn one into two?"

Gray Sword had not received much education, so he could not quite understand the meaning of the Patriot's words. In his eyes, one was one, two was two, one was one, and two were two.

"Okay, so please go back to your seat and stay there."

"Ah? Is this thing so evil?"

Gray Sword returned to his original position in a daze.

And the Patriot, looking at Gray Sword who was still running around in the team with a carefree mind, felt that he had chosen the right person. In a sense, when dealing with the evil demon and its derivative creations.

The more carefree and duller a person's thinking is, the less "cognition" he can produce, which can reduce the impact of abnormalities.

Everything is normal in the team now. No one has noticed something that shouldn't be noticed due to excessive inspiration. Fear has not spread and the team's mood is very stable.

Emotional stability and strong will are essential qualities for people who fight against evil.

............

The snowfield seemed endless. The patriot knew very well that this was the effect caused by the evil power. At the same time, he also knew that he just needed to keep moving forward.

So, after an hour or a minute, a forest appeared in front of everyone, a... birch forest?

"forest?"

Yuanfeng looked at the birch forest and said this with some uncertainty, because he knew very well that there should be nothing at that location just now.

"Captain, we..."

"Let's go in. Everyone, get ready. We are very likely to encounter some strange situations and special encounters. Everyone, be careful of everything around you, including your teammates!"

"Including you?"

Gray Sword said this jokingly.

"include."

The Patriot said this in a serious tone.

...........

My name is Yuanfeng, and I’m a crossbowman. I feel very bad right now... because I feel like I’m being stared at... by something. This feeling is both familiar and unfamiliar to me.

Because I know I used to make other people feel this way, but now it's something I don't know that makes me feel this way.

All in all, I feel very bad now. Very bad.

"Brother, do you have any strange feeling?"

I walked up to a shield guard wearing heavy armor and asked.

"How can it feel strange? If I must say, the environment here is indeed quite gloomy, but it is only gloomy. I guess you are feeling it wrong!"

Feeling wrong?

Absolutely not!

I am sure that it is not a so-called wrong feeling, there is definitely something staring at me, or at "us"

I looked around nervously and suddenly discovered something extremely terrifying. The birch tree was covered with "eyes" and on the trunks were eyes that were staring at "us".

I felt fear, no! I should say I felt physically uncomfortable. My hair stood on end. I took out my crossbow, loaded it with arrows, and started shooting.

My skills are very good. Every time I attack, I can shoot out an eyeball growing on the tree. But for some reason, those eyes are getting closer and closer to me. They are looking at me. They are getting more and more...

I started shooting frantically, and I could feel my speed becoming faster than ever before. Suddenly, the trees around me moved, and they were surrounding me!

This is a situation I cannot handle anymore. Calling for help is useless. The only one who can save me now is myself.

My teammates disappeared from my side long ago without me knowing when...

The trees are getting closer and closer, they are closing in on me! I can't hide from them! There are eyes everywhere in this forest, I can't hide! I have to get out, I have to get out!

No, it's too late! The gaps between the trees... No, I can't get through! It hurts! These trees are squeezing me! I can't move!

"Let go! Damn it! I told you to let go!"

I shouted as I tried to squeeze out from between the trees but to no avail.

A huge tree appeared in front of me. Its eyes were different from those of other trees. They were blood red. It stared straight at me, which was very creepy.

I looked into those eyes and knew my fate.

I will die here. When I realized something was wrong, I should have reported it to Bozokas instead of asking the shield guard.

The big tree slowly fell down, getting closer and closer to my head...

...........

Crossbowmen, the distant peaks collapsed,

Then shot and killed the shield guard Lasvi.

The specific cause of death was that several crossbow arrows were shot continuously into Lasvi's eye sockets in a short period of time, destroying his brain.

After Lasvi's death, the Patriots, Shield Guards and several others successfully surrounded and killed the collapsed body Yuanfeng.

There are 11 people left.

............

The team has lost some members, and no one is surprised by this. Loss of members is inevitable. If there were no losses, that would be something to be surprised about.

However, Yuanfeng's incident also reminded the Patriot. Now he pays attention to the mental state of others every once in a while to prevent the collapse from happening again.

But what's strange is that the mental state of the other people on the team is very stable, which is a bit too normal, so normal that even the Patriots find it a bit abnormal.

The team continued walking in the woods. The time they spent in the woods, at least it felt like they were walking, was much longer than when they were walking on the snowfield.

"Master Bozhukas, are we really not lost? I feel like we have been walking for a long time."
