“Roar!
The nemesis let out a painful howl as the back of her neck was pierced by a knife.
She was severely injured. She knelt on one knee and forced herself to not fall.
Lucia controlled her body and stepped on the back of the nemesis.
She switched to the assault rifle and pressed the muzzle of the rifle against the back of the nemesis’s neck.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!!”
Along with the sound of gunfire, purple blood splattered everywhere.
The nemesis struggled frantically. She suddenly stretched out her right hand and pulled Lucia behind her, throwing her forward ruthlessly.
“Bang!”
Lucia’s body was thrown out and smashed heavily onto the metallic machinery at the side, producing a dull thud.
Her entire body was in pain as if it had fallen apart.
Was Lucia’s combat strength that strong? Could she withstand the nemesis?
Fang Heng looked at Lucia and then looked at the nemesis.
The nemesis seemed to have suffered a great injury. She still maintained a posture of holding onto the ground with one hand, looking extremely pained.
“Quick! Shoot!”
‘The mercenary groups of the Dark Knights scattered around the various corners of the factory seized the opportunity and pressed their triggers one after another, crazily attacking the nemesis.
“Chi! Chi! Chil!”
The nemesis stretched out her hand again.
Her entire right hand was broken in the middle, breaking into expanding tentacles!
The tentacles were intertwined and tangled together, forming a protective net in front of her, blocking most of the bullets coming from the front!
The nemesis slowly stood up and raised the rocket launcher with her left hand again.
The rocket launcher slowly moved and aimed at Lucia, who had just been injured.
Lucia’s pupils instantly dilated!
She felt the murderous intent from the nemesis!
But she couldn’t stand up!
What should she do!
Lucia’s mind was blank.
At this moment, Lucia saw a figure flash out from the side.
Fang Heng walked forward step by step and stood in front of her.
“Fang Heng! Get out of the way! Don’t stand there!”
Xiao Jing shouted.
He was screaming in his heart.
Fang Heng must be crazy!
For an NPC?!
Blocking a rocket launcher with his body?!
Although the player had three times of rebirth…
But this was also…
Too crazy!
Was he risking his life to gain a favorability rating!
The other members of the Dark Knights couldn’t care less about Fang Heng at this time. They poured bullets on the nemesis, trying to stop her attack.
The next second, to Xiao Jing’s surprise, the nemesis stopped!
She was stunned on the spot for half a second.
Then, the nemesis slowly moved the muzzle away.
Xiao Jing was stunned.
What was going on?
He subconsciously took out the notebook in his pocket.
“The target seems to have scared the nemesis…2”
No! Cross them all out!
How should he write it?
“Xiao Jing!”
Xiao Jing heard Captain Zhang Fang calling his name and looked up.
The nemesis had already aimed the rocket launcher at the area where he was.
“F*ck.”
Xiao Jing could not help but curse in his heart. He clutched his notebook tightly and immediately jumped to the side.
Lucia stared blankly at Fang Heng who was blocking in front of her.
She had just narrowly escaped the gates of hell, and only then did she realize that her back was covered in cold sweat.
Fang Heng also heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he made it!
The main storyline mission was saved!
Victor’s badge saved his life!
Even now, Fang Heng’s heart was still pounding.
He was extremely glad that he had made a trip to the hospital and obtained the important mission item in advance.
For the first time, Lucia realized that even her voice was trembling.

“Thank, thank you…”
“Let’s go!”
Fang Heng pulled Lucia up from the ground and dashed towards the small door that they had come from.
At the same time, Fang Heng tured on the walkie-talkie and asked.
Fang Heng: “Mo Jiawu, can you hear me? How many forms does the nemesis have?”
‘Mo Jiawu: “I’m not sure. My investigation technique only indicated that this is the first form of the nemesis. From this, I can conclude that there are still many forms.”
Fang Heng quickly estimated the strength of both sides.
Could they kill the nemesis given the current situation?!
Impossible!
The biggest advantage of the nemesis was the powerful regenerative ability of the ne-a cells.
Based on the current conditions, it was impossible to kill her without setting up a plan beforehand!
What should he do?
Since the nemesis could not be provoked, then he should think of a way to escape first!
That’s right! Escape first!
There would be plenty of opportunities in the future!
Fang Heng didn’t have any psychological burden regarding the matter of escaping.
The main storyline mission only required him to protect Lucia!
Fang Heng had only run halfway with Lucia when he realized that Lucia wasn’t running with him.
Fang Heng turned to look at Lucia.
“Fang Heng, I’ll distract the nemesis.”
“Are you crazy?”
Lucia shook her head.
“T’ve thought about it carefully. The armoured vehicles left here are our best hope now.”
“Tm the only one with night vision here. I’m the only one who has a chance of surviving after luring her away.”
“Previously, I saw an intact motorcycle in the weapons factory. I can think of a way to escape with the motorcycle and get rid of the nemesis.”
Lucia stared at Fang Heng, her blue eyes flashing with determination.
“Ican feel it. The nemesis has a special hatred for me. She might be chasing after me.”
‘The nemesis was chasing after Lucia?
Fang Heng quickly thought of something.
If that was the case, then the main storyline mission’s requirement to protect Lucia might make sense?
“Trust me, Fang Heng. I can do it. I will come back alive.”
Let Lucia take the risk?
Absolutely not!
“This is too dangerous!”
Fang Heng said in a deep voice, “No, listen to me. You must not die.”
Lucia was stunned when she heard Fang Heng’s words.
Fang Heng thought to himself, this mission is too strange!
He worked so hard on a mission to reach the seventh loop!
He thought, “And you just had to go and send yourself to death? What do I want?”
Fang Heng wanted to forcefully stop Lucia, but he did not expect the game hint to flash in his vision again.
[Hint: Your favorability rating with Lucia has reached a critical value.]
[Hint: You have triggered the special mission-Lucia’s faith.]
Mission name: Lucia’s faith.
Mission description: Assist Lucia in completing her plan, or make a better battle plan and convince Lucia to complete it together.
Lucia revealed a warm smile.
“Thank you, Fang Heng. Other than my brother, you are the person who cares about me the most.”
Lucia approached Fang Heng and gave him a light peck on the cheek.
“Twill survive, I promise…”
Fang Heng touched his cheek.
He was stunned for a moment.
Lucia turned back resolutely and ran back the way she came.
This is nuts!
This d*mn mission!
“Bang!”
Fang Heng hammered the wall beside him as if he was venting.
This was a game mission. It was useless to forcefully persuade Lucia.
He had to think of a way to solve this problem.
Fang Heng took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He turned on his communicator as he walked towards the entrance of the factory..
