Chapter 260 Zero Casualty Plan
Zhang Yuanqing looked at him suspiciously, "Are you trying to see me make a fool of myself?"
Zhao Cheng隍: "Don't make such low-level jokes in serious occasions."
Zhang Yuanqing looked at Guan Ya. Guan Ya nodded, "He just wants to see you make a fool of yourself."
Zhao Cheng隍's expression froze.
This guy is outwardly aloof and serious, but his heart is actually quite wicked… Everyone silently looked at Zhao Cheng隍.
Zhang Yuanqing cheerfully picked a headless Yin corpse with all its limbs and manipulated it, rushing into the depths of the city along the ravaged streets.
The 1.2-kilometer journey was instantaneous. He saw the empty Bagua Square from afar, and the mech standing on the Yin-Yang fish.
Without thinking, Zhang Yuanqing stepped into the Bagua diagram and counted seconds in his mind.
One, two, three, four…
At the fourth second, he arrived in front of the mech, sidestepped around to its side, and with a burst of muscle in his shoulder and back, *pa*, slammed a fierce Four Cannon Fist heavily on the mech's knee joint.
The Yin corpse's fist exploded on the spot, rotten flesh splattering everywhere, revealing broken finger bones.
The attacked mech took a step back, creating distance, and swept its cast-iron cleaver horizontally.
The cleaver was two meters long, which restricted close combat. It was difficult to attack the enemy without creating distance.
Zhang Yuanqing rolled over, the wind of the blade whistling above his head.
He used the roll to close the distance, clinging to the mech, and threw out his intact left fist.
*Bang!* The fist exploded again.
At this moment, he counted to 15 in his mind.
The fighting spirit in Zhang Yuanqing's heart suddenly dissipated, and he stood there blankly.
The next second, he reacted, his legs sprang out, and he catapulted to the left. With a *ding*, dazzling sparks erupted where he had been standing, and the mech's slash missed.
After dodging the attack, Zhang Yuanqing, relying on his agility, rolled and slid around the mech, fighting without engaging, and continued to count seconds.
At this point, he had broken free from the state of Non-Aggression. He didn't attack because the Yin corpse's attack strength was limited and difficult to break through the defense.
When he counted to 50, his mind went blank. The tall mech in front of him seemed to become his beloved family and friends.
So, he watched his beloved family and friends wave the butcher knife at him, feeling only sorrow and grief, without any thought of resistance.
Outside the city ruins, Zhang Yuanqing opened his eyes and summoned the Ghost Mirror to eliminate the surging sadness and melancholy in his heart.
Mainly to avoid giving his teammates a chance to laugh at him.
Holding the Ghost Mirror, he had a cool "I'll never love again" expression and said:
"After entering the Bagua diagram for fifteen seconds, Non-Aggression is automatically triggered, and Universal Love is triggered after 50 seconds. The duration of Non-Aggression is one second, and I don't know about Universal Love, because I died the moment Universal Love was triggered, but it should be the same as Non-Aggression, which is one second."
"It's a pity that Jianxian and Tianzhi haven't been tested." As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of gears whirring came from the tunnel holes in the mountain wall again.
Immediately, mechanical creations jumped out, not drones, but various strangely shaped puppet machines. There were mechanical dogs carrying honeycomb-shaped crossbow boxes, jumping through the ruins as if on flat ground.
There were puppet warriors carrying bronze swords, leaping three meters high, like peerless swordsmen.
There were also strange-shaped mechanical weapons, like spinning tops, inlaid with sharp blades all over their bodies.
The number reached more than fifty.
"So many?" Hongjige's exclamation had just begun when a mechanical dog made of bronze and wood stopped a dozen meters away from him, and the sound of steel nails being driven into the ground came from under its feet.
The next second, the honeycomb-shaped crossbow box carried by the mechanical dog emitted a dense, piercing whirring sound.
Crossbow bolts rained down on Hongjige.
With a *boom*, Hongjige turned into a stream of fire, narrowly escaping from the arrow rain.
The crossbow bolts poured down, making muffled *popping* sounds, raising a cloud of dust.
These crossbow bolts had extremely strong armor-piercing effects, and the arrowheads emitted a faint dark luster, obviously poisoned.
"Wuwu…"
The Yin wind raged, and Sun Miaomiao spat out spirit servants, wailing and howling as they faced the mechanical creations.
Zhang Yuanqing and Zhao Cheng隍 quickly spat out spirit servants to cooperate, Guan Ya hid behind her boyfriend's shield and shot, and Asano Ryo summoned Shikigami to assist.
Xiao Yuan, Tianxiaguihuo, and Hongjige, relying on their speed advantage, were entangled with the melee puppets.
The two sides engaged in fierce crossfire. After more than ten minutes, they finally solved this batch of mechanical creations. Seeing the battle end, Xiahou Aotian ran out of the tunnel entrance and shouted:
"I know, Jianxian, these mechanical creations represent Jianxian. They cooperate very well with each other, as if they have a unified ideology and listen to unified commands."
As if to show his role, he emphasized: "For example, I am the core of the team, your unified commander."
Everyone ignored his last sentence. Zhang Yuanqing recalled the spirit servants and said, "That is to say, now only the rules of 'Tianzhi' are missing, very good, Xiao Zhao, let's continue."
Ten minutes later, the "garbage" picked up in the valley was exhausted, and they finally figured out all the rules and mechanisms of this level.
One: Non-Aggression is triggered after fifteen seconds.
Two: Universal Love is triggered after fifty seconds.
Three: Jianxian is triggered once every three minutes.
Four: Tianzhi is triggered once every five minutes, lasting for thirty seconds. The rules of Tianzhi come from the Bagua diagram, and the mech will gain the abilities of earth, wind, water, fire, thunder, teleportation, etc.
Five: The first, second, and fourth rules are triggered after entering the Bagua diagram; the third rule is triggered after entering the mountain belly.
Six: After one round of rules ends, the next round of circulation begins.
After listing all the rules, the Undead Squad fell silent.
The mech was copper-skinned, iron-boned, invulnerable to swords and guns, and could kill people with one hit. It was also equipped with crossbow bolts, miniature energy cannons, and other devices.
According to this strength, it was basically impossible to clear the level with zero casualties.
"I have an idea," Xiahou Aotian said:
"Let's exhaust the mechanical weapons hidden in the stone wall first, so that 'Jianxian' will be solved, won't the pressure be greatly reduced?"
Sun Miaomiao shook her head:
"You didn't participate in the battle, so you can't clearly recognize one thing, the mechanical beasts are getting stronger and stronger. In the beginning, my spirit servants could easily destroy the drones. Recently, my spirit servants can no longer break their steel bodies."
Tianxiaguihuo added:
"We can't determine how many mechanical beasts are stored in the wall. If we don't finish brushing for a day, think about how terrifying the strength of the mechanical beasts will be at that time."
Xiahou Aotian was speechless.
"Then what should we do?" Hongjige looked around. He looked at the cunning and resourceful Fire Master of Shame, who was frowning and looking serious. He looked at the knowledgeable Xiahou Aotian again, who was staring blankly, looking like he was traveling outside the world.
Looking at Sun Miaomiao, Zhao Cheng隍, Guan Ya, and the evil professional Xiao Yuan, everyone's faces were solemn and silent.
Hongjige took a breath of cold air: "You have no way?"
"Because it is indeed unsolvable, and it requires human lives to fill it," Zhang Yuanqing said.
Hongjige said unhappily, "It sounds like you are talking coolly."
Guan Ya immediately looked at her boyfriend, only to see the solemnity on his face disappear, and his expression became relaxed.
Her face lit up with joy: "Do you have an idea?"
Everyone who was thinking about countermeasures immediately turned to look at Zhang Yuanqing, their eyes hiding expectation.
"Not really," Zhang Yuanqing shook his head, "But there is a direction to try, let's leave here first, so as not to trigger the mechanical beasts."
The team members were invigorated, and the group withdrew from the mountain belly space.
Returning to the tunnel, Zhang Yuanqing sat cross-legged and said in the eyes of everyone:
"First of all, the impact time of Non-Aggression is only one second. We can't counterattack within one second, so dodge, it's not a big problem. The real killer is Universal Love. The trigger time of Universal Love is fifty seconds, so the first key point: after forty-five seconds, we must withdraw from the Bagua diagram." Everyone nodded slightly.
Zhang Yuanqing continued: "The real crisis is during the triggering of Jianxian and Tianzhi. One person must free up their hands to deal with the mechanical beasts, otherwise, we will surely die from the pincer attack of the mech and the mechanical beasts."
Sun Miaomiao immediately raised her hand: "Let me do it, I have spirit servants and guns, and I can solve the mechanical beasts in the shortest time, but your and Zhao Cheng隍's spirit servants must be handed over to me." She had a large number of spirit servants, but their levels were not high.
"Okay, let Sun Miaomiao handle the mechanical beasts. Next is Tianzhi. The mech has extremely high combat power. If Tianzhi's magical assistance is available, there will definitely be casualties among us within thirty seconds. I haven't figured out what to do about this." Zhang Yuanqing looked at Xiahou Aotian, "But I know that the protagonist will never let people down."
He spoke so nicely, Xiahou Aotian raised his head and froze… secretly communicating with the old man in the ring.
A dozen seconds later, he said: "Leave it to me, the operation of the Bagua formation diagram is regular, I will use a jetpack to observe in the sky…"
Speaking of this, Xiahou Aotian looked at Yin Yao Junzhu: "At that time, you can lend me that loudspeaker."
Although he had more convenient headphones, the number of headphones was limited, and they were easy to fall off during battle, so he didn't consider them.
On the contrary, the loudspeaker in the hands of this seductive Yin corpse could amplify the sound, and everyone could hear his prompts at that time.
Yin Yao Junzhu did not answer, patted her waist bag, and the Cat King speaker issued a high-pitched female voice: "Are you okay~".
Zhang Yuanqing raised his palm: "Try being sarcastic again, you two."
The Junzhu patted her waist bag again, and the Cat King speaker made a very cheap laugh: "Hahaha, one word, amazing!"
Zhang Yuanqing put down his palm and looked at Xiahou Aotian: "Alright, she agreed."
At this time, Tianxiaguihuo, who had not spoken all the time, said in a deep voice: "Yuanshi, this is just the most basic response strategy, the risk is still very high. And you have ignored the mech itself."
The plan formulated by Yuan Shitianzun was the most basic combat plan to deal with the rules, not amazing, and Tianxiaguihuo could also come up with it. He believed that others could also.
Moreover, the entire plan did not mention any攻略方案 for the mech.
Such a plan was like a castle in the air. Maybe the mech would erupt and cause heavy casualties in the first wave.
"I haven't finished speaking yet," Zhang Yuanqing said indifferently: "Protagonist, did you bring your Italian cannon?"
Xiahou Aotian smoothly caught the梗, "I brought it, but only the last one is left. Last time we… used eight."
Zhang Yuanqing nodded: "Regarding the mech, I have two plans. One is to tear the mech apart with Xiahou Aotian's Italian cannon as the core. The second is to destroy the life form inside the mech. There must be someone manipulating the mech. The second plan is a supplement after the first plan fails."
Zhao Cheng隍's mouth twitched slightly, "The Holy Infant is indeed very useful, but it will also damage our combat power." Everyone couldn't help but hold their lower abdomen, and their expressions were not very good.
Zhang Yuanqing raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Who said I want to use the Holy Infant, I brought the Rogue Disc. Oh, it's the Yin-Yang Roulette of the Huaihai Branch."
Xiahou Aotian and Hongjige, who had seen the power of the Rogue Disc, were overjoyed: "You even brought this thing out?"
Sun Miaomiao and others, who had not seen the Rogue Disc, showed curious expressions.
Tianxiaguihuo suddenly said: "Is that the prop that only rogues can control? I heard that your nickname Rogue Celestial Venerable came from this."
…Zhang Yuanqing said in a deep voice: "Don't make such low-level jokes in serious occasions."
Zhao Cheng隍 gave him a sidelong glance.
Hongjige urged: "The plan is very thorough, let's go back and do it, and return as soon as we clear the level."
Others also felt that the tactics were still relatively stable and could be tried, but Zhang Yuanqing shook his head slightly.
"If it's just like this, I, the gang leader, am too incompetent, I want to guarantee zero casualties." After saying that, he took out the Grand Luo Star Disc in the expectant eyes of everyone.
"After the tactics are formulated, the next step is to deduce its feasibility to ensure that it is foolproof." Zhang Yuanqing stroked the star disc with his palm and poured in the power of the stars.
On the black disc, bright silver stars appeared, like a grand and dreamlike 3D projection map.
The Zhou Tian stars rotated in mid-air, turning into a star vortex, pouring into Zhang Yuanqing's eyebrows.
Zhao Cheng隍 and Sun Miaomiao looked at this scene, their eyes full of desire and envy.
