Chapter 995
Chapter 995: Chapter 925: Am I Actually a Good Person?!_1 Chapter 995: Chapter 925: Am I Actually a Good Person?!_1 Yi refused to agree, which infuriated NPC Brother but there was nothing he could do.
The monster was constantly approaching, leaving them a short rescue window.
As soon as one person disagreed, the positions of the monster and the civilian ship overlapped on the radar.

Watching the large and small lights overlap on the radar, NPC Brother sighed and gave up the persuasion, looking for the small boat swaying in the waves off in the distance.
Strangely, the monster never showed itself.
The small boat was still swaying in the storm.
“Where’s the monster?” Yi switched views, checked the fishing boat on the sea and looked at the red dot on the radar, only to realize that the monster had bypassed the fishing boat.
“Underwater?” He quickly deduced, “Where?”
There were strong winds and heavy rain, gigantic waves were everywhere and the sea was pitch black.
Only the shoulder and head lamps of his mech could illuminate the surroundings, making it impossible to see anything underwater.
They didn’t see anything until a monster broke through the water surface beside them and attacked!
“F*ck!” Yi got a scare and quickly moved to block.
Although Brother was upset, his neural connection gave him flawless tactical ability.

He adjusted Yi’s impulse to shield and turned it into a precision attack striking the monster’s neck.
While this saved them from getting their heads bitten off, the staggering force of the monster was unstoppable.
The Dangerous Wanderer used both arms to block and moved its right leg backward as a support, yet it was still being pushed back!
“What’s happening, why is this monster so strong?!”
“Aaaargh——” Brother didn’t reply, but tried his best to push the monster’s head to the side to avoid the dangerous situation.
Yi decisively seized the opportunity, raised his fists overhead and then used all his strength to punch the monster’s head fiercely!
“Die!”
“Bang!”
The mech’s iron fist hit the monster’s fierce bone skull, causing a dull sound.
Even as a Level 3 Monster, it was heavily thrown into the sea from this heavy blow.
This attack clearly worked.
But in the dark sea under a night storm, the monster’s black scales blended in.
It was already difficult to see the monster’s claws in the waves.
Now they punched it into the sea, making it completely disappear.
Only occasional blue luminescence could be seen beneath the surface.
But this was far from enough.
As a result, when the monster jumped out of the sea again, it fiercely clawed the belly of the mech!
Both Yi and Brother reacted quickly and threw two punches back, but due to the mech’s lack of agility, both punches didn’t land solidly.
Such rushed punches didn’t seem to hurt the monster, which turn around and retaliated without any pause!
“What’s going on?
Are the monsters in the prologue this strong?” Yi was puzzled.
The answer from the command center cleared his doubts: “Dangerous Wanderers!
What’s happening?
Your neurological signal synchronization rate has dropped over 25%!”
“Synchronization rate drop?” Yi blinked and glanced at the evidently unhappy Brother, beginning to understand.
Driving a mech requires two drivers’ neural interaction and mutual understanding, which undoubtedly requires a high level of tacit understanding.
But due to their disagreements, their mutual understanding was greatly affected.
The result wasn’t just simple cooperation issues, the pressure required to operate a mech also became greater, and the decay of combat power was inevitable.
It was because of their decline in combat power, the inverse relationship made the monster seem overly powerful!
“I was trying to save you!
Stupid Brother!” Yi couldn’t help but complain in his heart.
But at this point, they could only fight all out.
But before they fought for long, the expected happened: a sudden guest broke into the battlefield where two colossal forces were fighting in the sea.
——That fishing boat was swept into their battlefield by the waves!
To make matters worse, a warning suddenly came from the command center: “Be careful!
The monster’s life response is rapidly increasing!”
To Yi, this sounded like “The big one is coming!”
As soon as the command center’s voice fell, the huge monster pointed its triangular exoskeleton-like sharp head at the mech and wildly charged towards them!
The whole monster was like a gigantic armor-piercing cone that shot towards the mech unstoppably!
And that fishing boat, as small as the mech’s palm, happened to be between the massive “armor-piercing cone” and the mech!
Without interference, it would undoubtedly lead to the destruction of the ship and the death of its crew!
All these happened in a split second, with no time for thought.
In a flash, Yi pushed his left arm forward to block the terrifying sharp head of the monster while quickly grabbing the fishing boat with his right hand and hiding it safely behind his back.
The next moment, a severe pain descended!
“Ah!!” Both Yi and NPC Brother cried out in pain.
This was his first time experiencing such a level of pain in the virtual world!
Their entire left arm, which was blocked in front of them, was completely destroyed by the monster’s conical head, torn into pieces and fell into the ocean.
Fortunately, this pain was very brief, and it quickly subsided once the left arm of the mech was completely wrecked.
But this was far from the end of the situation!
The Level 3 Monster “Sickle Head” was still in pursuit of victory!
It was only at this moment that Yi realized what he had just done —
He had subconsciously sacrificed an arm to save that broken ship!
“F*ck!” Yi exclaimed, “Am I a good person?!”
He stood firm against the monster’s attack, retreating a few steps, carefully placed the fishing boat held in his right hand into the sea, even gently pushed it towards the coast, and then twisted his body to punch the Sickle Head hard in the skull.
This punch was full of force, causing the monster to sway its head several times before recovering.
Yi immediately reacted, the synchronization rate of his nerve signals rose back up!
All these movements were much smoother and easier than before!
‘Alright…
it seems like NPC Brother is a great altruist…’
“Then…let’s do this!”
The brothers acted in unison and re-engaged in combat!
But the previous damage had been too severe, the mech had lost not only its left arm, but also suffered multiple damages to its body, which affected the energy output of the mech.
The longer the battle lasted, the more unfavorable the situation became for them.
This was not something that could be changed by sheer determination.
Just three minutes later, the event that Yi had been worried about all this time, inevitably occurred —
The monster bit down on the mech’s head!
Yi didn’t react at all, but NPC Brother did, making one last action – turning the neck and twisting the mech’s head.
The next moment, Sickle Head bit a large hole in the cockpit, and then…
Yi watched as NPC Brother was swallowed into the monster’s belly.
If it wasn’t for Brother’s last twist of the head, it would have been him who would have been swallowed by the monster!
All Yi could see at this point was Brother’s desperate look, along with – intense fear, unwillingness, and…
pain!
Their neural systems were still connected, and Brother’s terrible experience at the moment of death was also completely synchronized to Yi’s senses.
Intense emotions shook his soul.
When the Sickle Head opened its huge mouth and bit down at him again, Yi, filled with anger, brutally stuffed the mech’s right arm into the monster’s mouth, and made a great effort to plunge it deeper!
More than that, he recalled one thing in his anger – the plasma cannon that sprayed from the hand of the mech when he triggered the “Human Extinction” ending earlier!
At the same time as he recalled this, the plasma cannon in his hand began to charge!
Sickle Head struggled desperately, while attacking his body, its sharp teeth tearing at the right arm of the mech.
The pain and anger surged up, an overly realistic experience made Yi ignore everything else, focusing solely on killing this big creature!
Even if they perish together!
After a brief but long 5 seconds, the plasma cannon was finally fully charged.
“Die!!!”
The burning plasma with thousands of degrees exploded inside the monster’s body!
One shot!
Two shots!
Three shots!
Yi did not stop at all, not until all the energy was expended, not until the plasma cannon pierced Sickle Head’s body and blasted a huge hole in its back, only then did he stop, panting.
The monster lost all its strength and heavily fell into the sea, its life signs completely disappeared from the radar.
Only the blue-glowing monster blood remained, slowly diffusing in the sea.
The battle was over.
But Yi’s task was not yet completed.
The next task was: “To make land.”
He must single-handedly drive the Dangerous Wanderer to the shore.
Yi speculated once if nobody shared the pressure, a single person might find it hard to move the mech at all.
He just never thought: So soon, he was going to experience this feeling.
After Brother’s dying for his sake, he truly felt this heavy pressure, as if five strong men were pressing on him, it was difficult to move an inch, his head even began to get dizzy.
But he endured this pressure, stumbling, taking one step after another, hard-driving the mech to the shore before collapsing weakly on the beach, his vision gradually dimmed.
The last thing that flashed before his eyes were the snowflakes fluttering down from the sky.
The “Prologue” of the story was over.
