n“Roar!

nThe nemesis let out a painful howl as the back of her neck was pierced by a knife.

nShe was severely injured. She knelt on one knee and forced herself to not fall.

nLucia controlled her body and stepped on the back of the nemesis.

nShe switched to the assault rifle and pressed the muzzle of the rifle against the back of the nemesis’s neck.

n“Bang! Bang! Bang!!”

nAlong with the sound of gunfire, purple blood splattered everywhere.

nThe nemesis struggled frantically. She suddenly stretched out her right hand and pulled Lucia behind her, throwing her forward ruthlessly.

n“Bang!”

nLucia’s body was thrown out and smashed heavily onto the metallic machinery at the side, producing a dull thud.

nHer entire body was in pain as if it had fallen apart.

nWas Lucia’s combat strength that strong? Could she withstand the nemesis?

nFang Heng looked at Lucia and then looked at the nemesis.

nThe nemesis seemed to have suffered a great injury. She still maintained a posture of holding onto the ground with one hand, looking extremely pained.

n“Quick! Shoot!”

n‘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.

n“Chi! Chi! Chil!”

nThe nemesis stretched out her hand again.

nHer entire right hand was broken in the middle, breaking into expanding tentacles!

nThe tentacles were intertwined and tangled together, forming a protective net in front of her, blocking most of the bullets coming from the front!

nThe nemesis slowly stood up and raised the rocket launcher with her left hand again.

nThe rocket launcher slowly moved and aimed at Lucia, who had just been injured.

nLucia’s pupils instantly dilated!

nShe felt the murderous intent from the nemesis!

nBut she couldn’t stand up!

nWhat should she do!

nLucia’s mind was blank.

nAt this moment, Lucia saw a figure flash out from the side.

nFang Heng walked forward step by step and stood in front of her.

n“Fang Heng! Get out of the way! Don’t stand there!”

nXiao Jing shouted.

nHe was screaming in his heart.

nFang Heng must be crazy!

nFor an NPC?!

nBlocking a rocket launcher with his body?!

nAlthough the player had three times of rebirth…

nBut this was also…

nToo crazy!

nWas he risking his life to gain a favorability rating!

nThe 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.

nThe next second, to Xiao Jing’s surprise, the nemesis stopped!

nShe was stunned on the spot for half a second.

nThen, the nemesis slowly moved the muzzle away.

nXiao Jing was stunned.

nWhat was going on?

nHe subconsciously took out the notebook in his pocket.

n“The target seems to have scared the nemesis…2”

nNo! Cross them all out!

nHow should he write it?

n“Xiao Jing!”

nXiao Jing heard Captain Zhang Fang calling his name and looked up.

nThe nemesis had already aimed the rocket launcher at the area where he was.

n“F*ck.”

nXiao Jing could not help but curse in his heart. He clutched his notebook tightly and immediately jumped to the side.

nLucia stared blankly at Fang Heng who was blocking in front of her.

nShe had just narrowly escaped the gates of hell, and only then did she realize that her back was covered in cold sweat.

nFang Heng also heaved a sigh of relief.

nFortunately, he made it!

nThe main storyline mission was saved!

nVictor’s badge saved his life!

nEven now, Fang Heng’s heart was still pounding.

nHe was extremely glad that he had made a trip to the hospital and obtained the important mission item in advance.

nFor the first time, Lucia realized that even her voice was trembling.

n“Thank, thank you…”

n“Let’s go!”

nFang Heng pulled Lucia up from the ground and dashed towards the small door that they had come from.

nAt the same time, Fang Heng tured on the walkie-talkie and asked.

nFang Heng: “Mo Jiawu, can you hear me? How many forms does the nemesis have?”

n‘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.”

nFang Heng quickly estimated the strength of both sides.

nCould they kill the nemesis given the current situation?!

nImpossible!

nThe biggest advantage of the nemesis was the powerful regenerative ability of the ne-a cells.

nBased on the current conditions, it was impossible to kill her without setting up a plan beforehand!

nWhat should he do?

nSince the nemesis could not be provoked, then he should think of a way to escape first!

nThat’s right! Escape first!

nThere would be plenty of opportunities in the future!

nFang Heng didn’t have any psychological burden regarding the matter of escaping.

nThe main storyline mission only required him to protect Lucia!

nFang Heng had only run halfway with Lucia when he realized that Lucia wasn’t running with him.

nFang Heng turned to look at Lucia.

n“Fang Heng, I’ll distract the nemesis.”

n“Are you crazy?”

nLucia shook her head.

n“T’ve thought about it carefully. The armoured vehicles left here are our best hope now.”

n“Tm the only one with night vision here. I’m the only one who has a chance of surviving after luring her away.”

n“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.”

nLucia stared at Fang Heng, her blue eyes flashing with determination.

n“Ican feel it. The nemesis has a special hatred for me. She might be chasing after me.”

n‘The nemesis was chasing after Lucia?

nFang Heng quickly thought of something.

nIf that was the case, then the main storyline mission’s requirement to protect Lucia might make sense?

n“Trust me, Fang Heng. I can do it. I will come back alive.”

nLet Lucia take the risk?

nAbsolutely not!

n“This is too dangerous!”

nFang Heng said in a deep voice, “No, listen to me. You must not die.”

nLucia was stunned when she heard Fang Heng’s words.

nFang Heng thought to himself, this mission is too strange!

nHe worked so hard on a mission to reach the seventh loop!

nHe thought, “And you just had to go and send yourself to death? What do I want?”

nFang Heng wanted to forcefully stop Lucia, but he did not expect the game hint to flash in his vision again.

nHint: Your favorability rating with Lucia has reached a critical value.

nHint: You have triggered the special mission-Lucia’s faith.

nMission name: Lucia’s faith.

nMission description: Assist Lucia in completing her plan, or make a better battle plan and convince Lucia to complete it together.

nLucia revealed a warm smile.

n“Thank you, Fang Heng. Other than my brother, you are the person who cares about me the most.”

nLucia approached Fang Heng and gave him a light peck on the cheek.

n“Twill survive, I promise…”

nFang Heng touched his cheek.

nHe was stunned for a moment.

nLucia turned back resolutely and ran back the way she came.

nThis is nuts!

nThis d*mn mission!

n“Bang!”

nFang Heng hammered the wall beside him as if he was venting.

nThis was a game mission. It was useless to forcefully persuade Lucia.

nHe had to think of a way to solve this problem.

nFang Heng took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

nHe turned on his communicator as he walked towards the entrance of the factory..
