Chapter 342 Humanoid Shield
"what!"
As Lu Youyou was observing her surroundings, she suddenly heard Zhao Zhihao's bloodcurdling screams, like a pig being slaughtered, coming from behind her.
She turned around and saw that it was Wang Chenxi who had tied him up and was cutting his flesh with a knife.
Although Wang Lu grimaced in empathy, she didn't loosen her grip on the rope at all, and a closer look revealed a relieved smile in her eyes.
Lu Youyou also felt relieved. Who told him to disobey orders and even curse everyone in the group?
boom!
A fireball landed in the courtyard, causing the ground to tremble slightly, but fortunately it did not affect people's movement.
Suddenly, the number "-1" appeared on the left wall of the room, "Total Defense: 20987" appeared on the right, and "Sprint Progress: 1%" appeared on the far wall.
As if he had discovered evidence in his favor, Zhao Zhihao began to wail incessantly.
"What are you doing! A fireball only reduces defense by 1 point, and it's already 1% off. I only need to consume another 99 defense points to get through safely. Why are you hitting me? Apologize to me!"
Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Zhao Zhihao howled even louder.
Whether Wang Chenxi softened her heart or was annoyed by the noise, she gave him a basic all-purpose pill to heal his injuries.
Lu Youyou said nothing and did nothing; she simply observed silently.
Fireballs continued to fly, and the ground trembled incessantly.
Turning around, I saw that the sprint progress was already 10%, while the total defense had only decreased by 10 points.
The fireball suddenly stopped, but the sprint continued.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Zhihao felt even more confident.
"See that! See that! It doesn't even require that much defense. A bunch of fools who are too clever for their own good."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the ice hockey puck exploded with a loud bang in the yard.
The number "-2" is displayed on the wall.
Zhao Zhihao saw it too. His expression froze for a moment, then he regained his confidence.
"So what if it's reduced by two? We've already passed 15% of the progress. Even if it's all reduced by two from now on, we still have enough defense value to resist."
Lu Youyou frowned; her intuition told her that this was not the case, and that these attacks were likely to increase in intensity.
She kept staring at the sprint progress on the wall and noticed that when the progress reached 20%, the hockey attack stopped again.
What kind of attack will be next? It should be a reduction of three, right?
Based on the experience gained from these two waves of attacks, the attacks will stop every time the percentage reaches a multiple of 10%.
After the first fireball attack stops, the ice ball attack will restart when the enemy's health is at 15%.
Therefore, the third wave of attack should be launched when the enemy's health reaches 25%.
Time ticked by, and the sprint progress gradually increased.
21%, 22%, 23%...
The progress reached 24%, and the ground trembled again. A bad premonition welled up in Lu Youyou's heart.
Sure enough, the next second, water and fireballs were launched simultaneously, water and fire merging together, creating a huge cloud of steam.
The number on the wall was unusually conspicuous: "-4".
It's not "-3", it's "-4".
1、2、4，后一个为前一个的二倍，如果这样换算下去，下次是8、16、32…
"No, help! Help me!"
The fog obscured the view, and Lu Youyou could only vaguely see Zhao Zhihao being thrown out of the room by Wang Chenqian.
"The time left for everyone to rest is getting less and less, but the attack power is increasing by 2 times, and it will only get higher and higher after that. You damned thing! Taste the evil you've done!"
The fireball struck Zhao Zhihao, his skin sizzling and turning bright red. Immediately afterward, a water ball hit the same spot, creating steam.
"Ah! Help! Help!"
Zhao Zhihao was writhing on the ground in pain. His clothes were burned to ashes, but the ropes binding him showed no signs of breaking.
Lu Youyou kept observing the changes in the numbers on the wall and discovered that the base's defenses did not decrease after Zhao Zhihao caught the fireball and water ball.
At first, she thought it was her imagination, but after Zhao Zhihao withstood several attacks and the base's defenses did not actually decrease, she became certain that people could withstand attacks from the base.
No wonder Xiaolu said something about canceling the rule that team members cannot harm each other before the sprint; it turns out he was indirectly reminding people that they can find their own kind to act as a shield for their base.
"Don't get yourself killed."
Lu Youyou spoke up to remind him.
Wang Chenqian glared fiercely at Lu Youyou, her words sharp and unforgiving.
"Everyone else is afraid of you, but I'm not. You'd better put away your supernatural powers. You're even giving me orders now?"
Lu Youyou was not a very patient person to begin with, and now that she was being treated sarcastically, she became even more irritable.
She frowned: "Are you an idiot?"
Lu Youyou knew that Wang Chenqian was troubled by Zhao Zhihao, but should she be the one to vent her anger?
"Open your blind eyes and look. The base's defenses didn't decrease after Zhao Zhihao withstood the attack. He's still useful."
After Lu Youyou's unfriendly reminder, Wang Chenqian realized that this was indeed the case.
She grasped at the air, and Zhao Zhihao seemed to be pulled along by someone.
After entering the room, he was already barely breathing.
His entire body was covered in blackened flesh, with blood flowing down his wounds mixed with charred bits of flesh.
"Since you hurt him, you should give him the panacea."
Lu Youyou has pills, and plenty of them, but why should she pay the price for Wang Chenqian's recklessness?
Knowing she was in the wrong, Wang Chenxi remained silent and simply put a high-grade all-purpose pill into Zhao Zhihao's mouth.
The charred chunks of meat gradually fell off, revealing tender new flesh, and Zhao Zhihao came back to life.
He could no longer be proud; his face was ashen, and he silently shed tears.
As the steam dissipated, Lu Youyou turned around as if sensing something, and sure enough, the sprint progress had reached 30%.
The attack stopped, and they had time to rest again.
The progress bar gradually increased, and this time the lightning ball attack was launched at 33%.
Each lightning ball reduces defense by 8, just as Lu Youyou expected.
"Wang Chenqian, can your rope withstand lightning strikes?"
Wang Chenqian nodded.
Lu Youyou suggested, "Let's release Zhao Zhihao."
This time, Wang Chenxi disagreed: "No, the human shield and the panacea should be used wisely, as the attacks that follow will be even more intense."
Lu Youyou only asked one question: "Do you really think he's indestructible?"
"He's human too, he can die. If we don't let him suffer now, he might be killed by a single attack later on and there's no way to save him. What good are all the panaceas then?"
Wang Chenxi thought about it and realized, "Huh? That's really true."
For the first time, she smiled at Lu Youyou: "Lu Youyou, you are indeed very smart."
Zhao Zhihao was once again manipulated by Wang Chenqian and thrown out, moving towards wherever there was a lightning ball by controlling the rope.
At first, he had a chance to cry out for help, but later he was so shocked by the electric shock that he couldn't speak.
Wang Chenqian was very sensible; when Zhao Zhihao was still angry, she pulled him back and placed him at Lu Youyou's feet.
"Isn't it your turn to provide the advanced panacea this time?"
Lu Youyou didn't say anything, but simply took out the pill, stuffed it into his mouth, and then watched as Wang Chenqian threw him out again.
After a while, Zhao Zhihao became critically ill again.
Wang Chenxi pulled him back and threw him at Wang Lu's feet.
"I...I have very few high-grade panacea pills, could I use medium-grade ones...?"
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Chenqian forcefully interrupted him.
"Did Zhao Zhihao only block the attack for me and Lu Youyou? If you don't want to pay with pills, then pay with your body and be a shield like him."
Wang Lu stopped talking, reluctantly took out a high-grade all-purpose pill, and stuffed it into Zhao Zhihao's mouth.
