Chapter 15: Encountering Danger Along the Way
Continuing from the previous chapter, I teamed up with Old Wan, while Black Sniper and Bullet formed another team. The four of us rushed out of the room together in search of more powerful equipment and supplies. What kind of dangers awaited us ahead?
The story splits here. After we went out, the people left in the room were: Glasses, Gaara, Xiao Bai, and the elite members of Black Sniper's group, along with Werewolf. Among these five, Gaara temporarily took the role of team leader, standing in for me and Black Sniper.
"Gaara, do you think there won't be any danger for Sophie and the others when they go out?" Glasses still seemed a bit worried.
Gaara said, "There shouldn't be! Yu Menren is quite capable, combined with Luo Shi (Old Wan)'s strength. And don't forget, Black Sniper's team isn't to be underestimated either. Since he's the captain of a battle team, his strength must be pretty high too."
That last comment, Gaara actually deliberately said to the elite and Werewolf. When Werewolf heard it, he laughed: "Of course, our captain is extremely strong, the best in our whole team. He once had an unbeaten record in twenty team battles!"
"That's good!" Gaara also smiled: "Since Black Sniper is so impressive, I feel relieved."
"Haha, you mean Sophie, Old Wan and the others are fine!" Glasses was happy when he heard Gaara's words. Unfortunately, Gaara's next sentence almost made him bite his tongue.
"Not necessarily! The biohazard mode isn't like team battles. We can only say that the chances of survival are a bit higher for stronger people!"
"Damn!"
Glasses touched his forehead, looking frustrated: "Why do you always like to speak in a way that scares people like this!"
"What!" Gaara turned around: "Did you really think I'm a god who knows everything? If you have questions, go ask the creator of Crossfire yourself."
"Hey, hey, talking like that is a bit irresponsible…"
"Stop arguing!"
Xiao Bai suddenly shouted sharply, which startled Glasses, and he couldn't help but wonder: what's up with this girl? Could it be that she's frustrated seeing Gaara so overwhelmingly favored by guys?
Of course, Gaara wouldn't think like Glasses.He is Xiaobai's husband, and he knows that if nothing had happened, Xiaobai wouldn't suddenly get angry for no reason—something must be wrong! He immediately walked over and asked softly, 'What's wrong? Are you too nervous?'
Xiaobai indeed looked pale and her body was slightly trembling. Seeing me, Ailuol came over, and trembling, she pointed toward the window and said, 'Outside... something seems off outside!'
Everyone looked out the window. In the empty downstairs area of District 13, the buildings, traffic lights, concrete walls, and old buses were all so real that it made people marvel at the lifelike game scenery. Silence! Looking from the window, everyone could indeed feel a deathly quiet.
However, there wasn't anything particularly unusual! The buildings outside were all the same, except for a corpse on the ground just killed by the biochemical ghost... Wait! Why is there only one corpse?!
Everyone remembered clearly that two guards had been killed outside by the mother. So why does it now appear that there is only one corpse that committed suicide?
The reason is simple! Now even if Ailuol didn't say anything, everyone would know what happened!
Earlier, one of the two guards outside was ambushed and killed from behind by the biochemical mother, and the other, realizing he couldn't defeat the two large biochemical mothers, shot himself. Now the problem arises: the corpse downstairs is the one that committed suicide, so it would not be infected into a biochemical ghost. That means the other missing corpse...
Thinking of this, everyone in the room turned pale at once! The missing corpse must have been infected and turned into a biochemical ghost and ran off at some unknown time!
'Damn!' Glasses suddenly jumped up: 'Sophie and the others are still outside!'
...
'Achoo!'
I suddenly sneezed! Rubbing my nose, I wondered, which bastard was talking behind my back?
'Annoying, keep it down! We're outside right now,' Black Sniper warned from behind.
'Got it, got it!' I rubbed my nose and continued moving forward. There were no streetlights in the corridor, so it looked a bit dark. Although we also had flashlights in our backpacks, to avoid being detected by the biochemical mother, we could only move forward relying on the light coming in from outside.After we sneaked forward for a certain distance, Lao Wan, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
Hearing our question, Lao Wan shook his head slightly: "Nothing, it's just that there's a corpse blocking the road ahead."
"A corpse?!"
I was stunned and walked forward. Sure enough, there was a corpse wearing a guardian's uniform lying in the middle of the road. I didn't know if it was dead or alive.
"Don't know how it died? Though it's unfortunate, it's blocking our path," Hei Ju Shen said as he stepped forward.
Lao Wan also found it unpleasant to look at: "Seriously, I really don't want to move a corpse! Let's just pass it without touching it!"
We slowly walked up to the side of the guardian corpse, looking at the person on the ground. To avoid touching it, we deliberately moved to the side. Standing above the corpse, about to step over it, I suddenly stopped.
Hey! Doesn't this person look familiar? Although the person was face down, I still felt a sense of familiarity. Could it be that I've really seen this person somewhere before? No, since entering the game, the guardians we've seen are very few. I can't have seen him but just not remember… Could it be…?
Suddenly my eyelid twitched, and I remembered. I couldn't help shouting: "Crap, everyone quickly step back..."
It was a split-second matter, and before I could finish speaking, the corpse on the ground suddenly jumped forward. Lao Wan, however, was the first! This guy was agile; at the moment I yelled, he immediately did a roll to dodge. The corpse flew over Lao Wan's head and, grabbing the bullets behind Lao Wan, bit down with its mouth wide open!
"Ah!"
The bullet's shoulder was bitten hard, and they couldn't help screaming. All of this happened in the blink of an eye. It happened so fast that we couldn't react, and the bullet was already bitten.
"Damn, it's an infected biochemical ghost!" Hei Ju Shen shouted suddenly. Regardless of whether it would attract other biochemical ghosts, he raised his gun and fired fiercely at the corpse!
The ghost felt the pain, immediately let go of the bullet, and shouted as it leaped toward us!How could Black Sniper, Lao Wan, and I let him succeed? The three of us swept fiercely at the ghost that lunged at us. 'Rat-a-da-da'—the ghost was still in midair when we instantly turned it into a punctured ball of flesh. With a thud, it fell to the ground, completely charred—dead beyond any longer!? Looking at the smoking corpse on the ground, I said, "It shouldn't have fully transformed into a bio-ghost yet, otherwise we wouldn't have taken it out so quickly!" Actually, when I passed by the corpse earlier, I suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. Later, I realized this guardian was the one we saw from outside the window in the room who was ambushed and killed by the Bio-Mother Woman. In other words, this guy had just been infected with a biochemical virus, and he couldn't wait to come here to play dead. He was just waiting for someone to pass by before launching a surprise attack! But this guy didn't expect that the people who showed up weren't just one or two, but the four of us. "Are you okay?!" Black Sniper God helped the bullet injured in his shoulder up. "It's okay, I was just too careless and got caught." It seemed the injury was serious, and a large pool of thick blood flowed from the wound on his shoulder. What shocked people was that the blood coming from his body was actually black, spilling onto the ground, and smelled of fish. "Not good!?" The moment I saw that blood, I felt something was wrong—maybe the bullet had already been contaminated. Bullet knew the same thing. He shook his head: "Don't worry, I'm still fully conscious now. I definitely won't hold you back!" If it really doesn't work, you can leave first! ”? "What are you talking about? I'm not going to abandon my own subordinates!" Hey, where's the equipment supply station? There's no time to delay any longer! "Black Sniper God was furious too. If Old Wan hadn't dodged, the bullets wouldn't have been attacked by monsters, and maybe before long, the bullets would have turned into biochemical ghosts." "What kind of attitude is that!" Old Wan was a bit annoyed too. If I hadn't dodged quickly, I'd be the one infected right now!? "Alright, stop messing around! We've already fired our shots, no time to stand here and waste words! Maybe the biochemical mother has already heard the gunfire and is heading toward us! ”? "Looks like they're already here!" Lao Wan gave a bitter smile and pointed out the window.Under the night sky, a red figure emitting green light was rushing toward our building!? Damn! It's actually a Biochemical Mother! Speak of the devil, and he shall appear! (End of this chapter)
