At the same time, the crew members repairing the Normandy were also attacked by the Corpse Puppets.
The previously empty dock was now filled with the figures of the undead. They crawled up and down like ants from all directions, rushing towards the Normandy.
The crew members repairing the Normandy quickly built a defensive line under the command of Gellas, picked up their weapons, and began to fight back.
Although the crew members of the Normandy were very brave, they were still being beaten back by the Corpse Puppets. If this continued, let alone them, even the Normandy might not be able to hold on.
"We can't go on like this."
Looking at the battlefield outside, Fangzheng shook his head, then glanced at the little guy beside him and smiled.
"Okay, you guys go and help."
"Got it! Let's go, Illya! "
Blackie, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, rushed out of the cabin with Illya. Kuang San and Yuji followed closely behind. Ying Lili stared at Fangzheng with widened eyes.
"Mr. Fangzheng, can we go too?"
"Of course. You just need to activate your Hard Light Armors and fight like in the game world."
Fangzheng nodded while stroking the little kitten in his arms.
"This is also a test for you. You should know that the monsters in the game are completely different from those in reality … Hmm, let's see if you have the qualifications to fight on the frontline."
"Huhuhu … I can't wait!"
The black cat sneered, extended her hand, and covered her right eye. Then, a pitch-black radiance flickered. At the next moment, the black cat clad in the Dark Moon Sword's uniform and carrying a scythe on her back appeared before everyone once again.
"Let me taste their death and despair!"
Asuna and Ying Lili looked at each other and helplessly followed the black cat.
"Have a safe trip."
Fangzheng waved his hand as he watched the group of people leaving the cabin. Indeed, there were many corpse puppets here. Based on Fangzheng's senses, there were thousands of them. However, Fangzheng wasn't worried at all. He had observed that these corpse puppets were no different from zombies except for their speed. For the people of the Tendo Temple, this was obviously a "small monster" that they could use to familiarize themselves with the combat techniques of this world's enemies.
As for him …
"Mmm … so comfortable."
After changing his posture, Fangzheng leaned against the sofa and looked at the screen in front of him. At the same time, he hugged the little kitten and the little white cat. Behind him was the little fire dragon. He couldn't help but hum a song.
"… A chicken in my left hand, a duck in my right, and a little baby on my back …"
While Fangzheng was happily singing and watching the show, the frontline was already in a critical state.
"Left! Hold the left defensive line, don't collapse!! "
Gellas raised the Black Widow sniper rifle in his hand and fired a few shots in succession, knocking down several Corpse Puppets that had climbed over the barrier. At the same time, he shouted.
"Lex, go and help!"
Lex was a tall and mighty Crogan. The appearance of this race looked like a huge, walking, muscular frog. With a roar, he charged straight at the Corpse Puppets in front of him with a shotgun in his hand. Under the almost unreasonable suppression of the Crogan race, the Corpse Puppets were sent flying as if they had been hit by a heavy truck. In an instant, all the enemies around them were wiped out.
However, this was far from enough.
"How much longer do you need, Tally?"
"I need 48 hours, maybe even longer!"
"We don't have that much time!"
Hearing Tally's answer from the earpiece, Gellas snorted.
"Get ready. We'll leave when Shepard comes back …."
"That's impossible. The Normandy hasn't been repaired yet. If we forcibly start it up, there might be an accident …."
"But we can't stop them …."
"Hahahahaha!!"
However, before Gellas could finish his sentence, he suddenly heard a loud shout, and then he saw a petite figure surrounded by thunder and lightning suddenly appear. It was a human girl. She was wearing clothes that Gellas was unfamiliar with. Her long purple hair fluttered in the wind, and she was holding a huge sword that looked completely disproportionate to her size. Gellas watched the girl in front of him leap through the air and rush into the battlefield with her sword. She then swung her sword.
"Swish —!!"
A streak of purple sword light instantly swept across the battlefield, splitting dozens of corpse puppets into two. It seemed that there was no way for them to survive.
"What's … this?!"
Gellas was dumbfounded. He had never seen any race fight like this. Of course, as an elite warrior of the Raider Squad, Gellas knew about the "sword". But in the Interstellar Era, no race would still fight with this kind of weapon. Even the Batareans, a race that seemed to have come out of the garbage heap, used guns to fight. But … these mysterious outsiders were actually still using this kind of weapon that should have been "eliminated" according to logic?
However, Gellas soon discovered that this was not a special case.
Following closely behind was a little girl with white hair and brown skin. She was holding two black scimitars in her hands. She rushed into the pile of Corpse Puppets and slashed at them as if there was no one around. The troublesome Corpse Puppets were cut down like harmless plants in front of her.
Next to the little girl with the dual scimitars was a child who looked almost the same as her. She was holding a long sword shining with a golden light and was also fighting the Corpse Puppets.
After that, Asuna, Ying Lili, Black Cat and the others also joined the battle.
Soon, with everyone's efforts, the situation of the battle began to change rapidly.
"They're really good."
As the Corpse Puppets' attacks were not as intense as before, Lex also came over. He stared at the girls who were slaughtering the Corpse Puppets with his insect-like eyes and nodded in satisfaction.
"They're a little thin, but their courage is admirable. If they were among the Krogan people, they would all make the best spouses and mothers. The children they give birth to would be as brave as they are!"
"Alright, now's not the time to talk about this."
Gellas obviously did not want to talk about this topic any longer. Besides, they had more important things to do.
"Reorganize the position immediately. We don't know how many Corpse Puppets there are …."
The battle was still going on.
Although there were many of these corpse puppets, and they were very powerful and fast, they were not a problem for the young ladies of the Heavenly Dao Palace.
Youji and the Kuang San were the first to adapt to the battlefield, while Illya and Xiao Hei, as Valiant Spirits, were naturally not a problem. The Cursed Children were even less of a threat. They had fought against Protogut Beasts more than once in the Dark World, so compared to the Protogut Beasts, the Corpse Puppets were actually not much of a threat.
But for Asuna, Ying Lili, and Black Cat, this was a very fresh experience.
They had fought with their lives on the line in the game world, but the monsters would turn into light particles and disappear after they were defeated. Therefore, for them, the monsters they killed were not living creatures, but just monsters created from data in the game.
But now, the Corpse Puppets were obviously different.
They were not monsters created from data. Weapons would cut open wounds on their bodies, spray blood, and smell the stench. They would not turn into light particles and disappear after they fell, but they would really become corpses.
But now, Asuna did not care about that.
The moment she picked up her sword, she found that she had completely returned to the state she was in the game. To her, the Corpse Puppets were only enemies, and what she needed to do was to completely destroy them!
Swoosh!
The thin sword pierced through the head of a Corpse Puppet like a bolt of lightning. The burst of air tore the Corpse Puppet's skull apart, and the spinning sword energy tore the Corpse Puppet's brain apart. The Corpse Puppet flew out with a series of air currents. Asuna did not even have time to pay attention to her enemy. She quickly withdrew her sword and dodged the attacks of the other Corpse Puppets.
Then, Black Cat suddenly rushed forward and swung its scythe again, sweeping away all the Corpse Puppets in front of it like harvesting wheat.
Very few people noticed that the movements of the young girls were gradually becoming more and more proficient from their initial timid movements.
They were transforming.
They were becoming true warriors.
