Chapter 818 [817] Wonderful Illusion

The Mirage Sand Realm.

Inside a dim underground cave.

A group of armored figures were cautiously advancing.

They all shared the peculiar characteristic of strange pupils.

This was the Green Luo Legion.

The first batch of five million Green Luo people had completed their military training.

And officially arrived at the meat grinder-like desert battlefield, beginning their siege of the Calamity Worms hidden underground.

The second batch of twenty million Green Luo Legion soldiers would arrive in this realm in batches over the next five days.

This Green Luo squad was equipped with biochemical armor and drones.

Of course.

Only the simplified version.

Due to the simplification of some complex structures, the performance was slightly weaker than the "original" version.

The advantage was that the manufacturing cost was much lower, and the production speed was faster.

At this moment.

The group of Green Luo people stopped and began to talk in low voices.

"The Spirit Wing drone I'm controlling has spotted three fissures ahead."

"The two worms we're tracking are likely hiding in those fissures."

"Let the Spirit Wing drone fly in and investigate."

"I object! We only have four Spirit Wing drones left. Two must monitor the surrounding situation, which means only two can be used."

"Two Spirit Wing drones probably aren't enough and will likely be destroyed by the worms hiding inside."

The above situation was precisely the difficulty in clearing out the worm swarms.

Although the Spirit Wing drones did not possess direct combat capabilities, in the complex environment of the underground cave, their role was indispensable.

The reason was simple.

The speed of the Calamity Worms was too fast. Without the remote early warning of the Spirit Wing drones, once the worms approached, the team would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

Recently.

The Calamity Worms had also realized this and began to focus on attacking the Spirit Wing drones.

Because too many Spirit Wing drones were destroyed, blind spots appeared in the field of vision, and then they were attacked by worms, eventually leading to the entire squad being wiped out. Such tragedies were common.

Therefore.

This squad was so cautious.

After a while of discussion, the group reached a consensus.

"This is likely a trap set by the worms."

"Send a message to other squads and request support."

"Let's do that. We'll guard this place. If the worms dare to come out, we'll attack."

Soon.

The squad leader contacted two nearby squads through the built-in magic array in his communication helmet.

The other party was very straightforward, saying they would come as soon as possible.

After all, they were all Green Luo people, and the Mirage Sand Realm was a distant foreign land, so everyone would instinctively band together for warmth.

While waiting.

The group started chatting.

"Sigh, when will this life of carrying our heads on our shoulders end?"

"Didn't the higher-ups say that we can go home as long as we kill all the worms?"

"Do you believe that? I feel like the damn worms will never be killed."

"It's not necessarily hopeless to go home. I heard that in the next war zone, someone obtained enough war merit points to exchange for a ticket home."

"I'd rather be a warrior. If I had so many war merits, I would definitely exchange them for secret medicine."

"That's right, going home is just being an ordinary person. Warriors are superior."

In order to prevent the Green Luo people from being passive and slacking off, the outpost legion formulated a series of incentive measures.

For example:

As long as you participate in combat missions, you can get a sum of war merit points every day.

If you perform military exploits and kill worms, you will also receive additional war merit rewards.

The more worms you kill, the more powerful the worms you kill, the more rewards you will receive.

As long as the war merit points accumulate to 300 points, you can exchange them for secret medicine, and 1000 points can be exchanged for a ticket home.

In short.

It is to encourage the Green Luo people to willingly act as cannon fodder and fight desperately with the worms.

At this time.

A Green Luo man suddenly smiled lewdly: "If I save up five more merit points, I can enjoy a pleasure illusion."

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone "hehe" laughed.

Judging from the reactions of these people, the so-called "pleasure illusion" was probably not a serious path.

The fact was indeed so.

The pleasure illusion was essentially a magic array in the spiritual realm.

As long as you wear the corresponding magic tool, you can experience a strange virtual journey.

Almost all Green Luo people, when experiencing spiritual illusions, would choose to engage in illusory pleasure.

Although it costs 30 war merit points to use it once, there were still a lot of Green Luo people who would save up enough war merit points to play it once.

Another tall Green Luo man couldn't help but ask: "Zaka, have you used all the war merit points you saved up on the illusion array?"

The Green Luo man called "Zaka" did not answer directly: "I face a bunch of worms every day, and I have so much mental stress. I just want to relax."

The tall Green Luo man couldn't help but gasp: "So you really spent all your war merit points? Don't you want to go back?"

Zaka licked his lips, his tone filled with longing: "After experiencing the illusion, I feel like my life has been worth it."

The implication was—what does it matter if I don't go back?

Zaka smiled even more lewdly: "There was a beautiful woman in the community I used to live in, and she had an even more beautiful daughter. I never had the chance to touch a finger of theirs, but in the illusion..."

The following words.

This guy didn't say it.

But everyone understood that Zaka must have done indescribable things to them in the illusion.

Zaka changed the subject: "People who haven't experienced it won't understand. The illusion isn't worse than the real world. No, it's as real as the real world."

The tall Green Luo man "呸" spat: "You bastard, you're going to die on the sculpture sooner or later!"

Zaka smiled indifferently and made a "stroking" gesture: "The feeling of stroking the skin is really too memorable."

The other Green Luo people laughed together.

Even a fool could hear that this guy must have done terrible and appalling things to the mother and daughter when experiencing the illusion.

But these were also the bad things they all yearned for.

Several Green Luo people had secretly decided that after the cleanup mission was over, they would ask Zaka for information and then go experience it properly.

No.

It should be to relax.

However.

These people finally knew that this was a dangerous underground cave, not a safe military camp, so they all lowered their voices.

Just then.

A soft sound suddenly came from the distance.

"Pa!"

A Green Luo man's expression changed immediately, and he warned at the fastest speed: "The Spirit Wing drone I'm controlling seems to have lost control."

Everyone knew that this phenomenon only occurred in one situation.

That was—the drone had been attacked by the Calamity Worm.

The squad leader ordered without hesitation: "Everyone pay attention to the surrounding stone walls. If you find anything unusual, attack immediately."

According to statistics.

The probability of worms launching attacks from the stone walls was as high as 90%.

The group moved quickly.

Zaka took a few steps back, his back tightly against the stone wall, and raised his head to search for worms.

At the same time.

The Spirit Spider drone he was controlling was also crawling quickly on the stone wall.

Two seconds later.

Zaka keenly noticed that there seemed to be a shadow lurking in a corner dozens of meters away.

His heart trembled, and he decisively decided to remind his teammates: "Over there..."

However.

After only saying two words.

Zaka clearly saw that the shadow rushed over quickly, and the direction was pointing at him.

It really was a Calamity Worm!

He then saw that when the worm was still in mid-air, its long scorpion tail had already been raised.

In this instant.

Zaka had a scalp-numbing feeling.

He instinctively realized that the target of the Calamity Worm's tail needle attack was definitely himself.

This guy's heart suddenly sank deeply.

It's over!

The distance between the two sides was so close, and the speed of the tail needle was as fast as lightning. He didn't think he could dodge it.
