Chapter 9: The Bizarre Battlefield
On the battlefield, anything could happen, and right now was exactly such a situation. Just as the two arch-enemies, the infiltrator and the defender, were fighting intensely, a voice suddenly appeared that was impossible to ignore: The biochemical ghost is about to appear!
For a moment, everyone felt endangered and scrambled to hide, aiming their guns at their former comrades.
10 seconds, 9 seconds, 8 seconds……
The closer the time got, the more nervous I became! Who exactly were the people in front of me? Who was the biochemical ghost? Xiao Bai, Glasses, Old Wan, or Gaara?
6 seconds, 5 seconds, 4 seconds……
Although it was only a matter of seconds, it felt like several months to me! My heart beat along with the countdown, 'Thump, thump'! Heaven, I beg you, please don't let me or my friends turn into biochemical monsters!
3 seconds, 2 seconds, 1 second……
"1 second!" As the final second rang, everyone's face turned pale, and their body hair stood on end.
This was the last second!
"The final second!" At this very last moment, every muscle in my body tensed up; the instant the red monster appeared, I would pull the trigger……
……
A gentle breeze brushed over the few of us, and the terrifying countdown sound was no longer audible. And in front of us…… everyone present looked at each other. For a moment, the place was as silent as a grave, with no one speaking.
So… so great! No one on our side had turned into a biochemical ghost! Seeing that everyone was safe, I let out a long sigh of relief! Perhaps it was because of too much tension, but my body felt almost drained.
Phew! That's great! I went weak all over and collapsed to the ground. As soon as I fell, the others sat down as well, wiping off their sweat and sighing in relief!
“That was really dangerous just now, my heart almost jumped out of my chest!” Xiao Bai said with a bitter smile, patting his chest.
Glasses glanced at Xiao Bai's full chest and chuckled: “I say, Xiao Bai, since we formed a team, we haven't even exchanged ten words. Now that the danger is over, let me ask you, hehe! Um, are you a boy or a girl?”Why does Glasses' sound so strange at first glance? Logically, when you see a woman in real life, even though you know she's a woman, you deliberately ask if she's male or female? Others would definitely think you're an idiot! But the problem is, right now we're in the ultra-realistic simulation mode of the 'Super Fantasy' app. Whether you're male or female in real life, as long as you choose a female fox hunter in the game, anyone can become a female mercenary. Hearing Glasses say this, I also looked at Xiao Bai. Honestly, I've always been tense during battle, and now that Glasses brings up this question, I'm actually a bit curious. Haha, it would be best if it were a pretty girl about our age!? Hearing this, Xiaobai didn't tell us her gender, but instead stood up. She brushed the dust off her clothes and, under our watchful eyes, walked straight up to Gaara and did something that left people stunned. As she walked, Xiaobai kept twisting her body from time to time, reached Gaara, bent down, and gave Gaara a gentle kiss on the face! She called out as tenderly as water, "Husband!" ”? "Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah!?" Lao Wan's glasses and I were stunned on the spot by what we saw!? Oh, damn it! After all this discussion, it turns out these two are a couple!? That actually reminds me that from start to finish, these two have been stuck together, never separated. Whether in team, in battle, or even when the Defenders ambushed her by a landmine earlier, it was Gaara who crouched over Xiaobai to protect her. Sweat, the three of us bachelors looked at each other. Looks like we have no chance, 5 555555555? "Hehe!" Seeing the depressed expressions on our brothers' faces, Xiaobai found it quite amusing and covered her mouth to laugh. "Ahem!?" Sweat still beads on the camera, and he shook his head slightly: "Bro, after all, we're comrades who fought together. Why don't you tell us Xiaobai is your girlfriend?" That's just too unfair! ”? Gaara looked completely innocent after hearing this: "I'm dizzy, you didn't even ask me!" And the battle is so tense—who has the heart to talk about this? ”? Huh?Thinking about it, it makes sense. We've only just met them, and it's not like they have to tell you everything, right?
"Alright, stop fooling around!" Gaara's expression immediately turned serious. "We're still in danger right now, so we can't let our guard down!"
Only after he said that did I remember that after the countdown finishes, the biochemical ghosts would appear. Thinking about those terrifying figures with thick blood and incredible speed, everyone straightened up and picked up their submachine guns, remaining alert.
Seeing the powerful Thompson submachine gun in my hands, my confidence immediately surged. I have to thank those defenders; if it weren't for them suddenly showing up like that, we wouldn't even know where to get such good equipment.
"Sophie, should we go out and have a look? Or should we stay here until the game ends?" Old Wan asked me.
"Well…"
I looked around, and it seemed the battle had stopped. The defenders had disappeared somewhere to save themselves. After thinking for a while, I said, "I think it's better to go out! This isn't an airtight place. The walls were already cracked during the fight with the defenders. Rather than waiting here for the monsters to come, we should head out. Before those people get infected and turn into a large swarm of biochemical ghosts, we should meet up with Rockman and find a relatively safe place!"
After speaking, I specifically looked at Gaara. From spending time together, I discovered that this guy is very intelligent and capable of analyzing things rationally. Before making any decision, I need to hear his opinion.
Gaara nodded: "You're right. This place just had a battle. Not only is it heavily damaged, but it also easily attracts biochemical monsters! We can handle one or two, but if we stay here and everyone turns into biochemical monsters and attacks us, escaping will be very difficult!"
"Exactly. As the team leader, I want to emphasize that we need to be extremely careful if we encounter biochemical ghosts later! We still don't know if they are the same as the ghosts in the previous game. Be cautious in everything. Even if we encounter them, don't panic. Support each other, fight while retreating, and keep moving until we find a safe place!"
Opening the door to the room, everyone quietly went down the stairs.Every step I took was very careful, afraid that even the slightest sound might attract the biochemical ghosts. After coming downstairs, I looked outside. Everyone was looking at each other, and there were question marks in each other's eyes. "How could there... be no one here?" Just a few minutes ago, the battlefield was still filled with continuous gunfire, but now it was deathly silent. "I guess everyone must have hidden to avoid the biochemical ghosts, right?!" Seeing the deserted battlefield, I tightened my grip on the Thompson and stepped forward, constantly looking back. I glanced left and right, then slowly walked forward for dozens of meters. Hmm, it seems safe for now! I turned around and made an OK gesture to the people behind me. "Huh? Why is there no one here? Hey, do you think we should go find Captain Locke and the others now?" Xiaobai asked, following after everyone had come out. "Of course we should go find them!" This time it was Lao Wan speaking: "There are too few of us now, and we need to replenish ammunition. Once we meet up with Locke and his people, having so many people together means we won't have to fear the biochemical ghosts anymore." "Hmm!" I nodded and added: "But we still need to be careful; it's possible that a biochemical ghost could appear in our infiltrator team too." Seeing that no one had anything else to add, everyone quickly ran across the deserted street and headed for the staircase we had come down earlier. Soon, we could see Locke and the others. The five of us rushed up to the third floor like a gust of wind, but in front of us... Strange? Where is everyone? Captain Locke, where are you all?! We rushed up only to be shocked to find that there was not a single person on the entire third floor... (End of Chapter)
