Chapter 18: The Sniper God's Determination
‘Aow! Dong, dong, dong...'?
“Shout, shout, shout! You dead man, if you dare, come in!” Listening to the wailing and howling of the ghosts outside the door, Hei Sniper God was somewhat driven to the edge.
Originally, we had planned to search for stronger equipment, but at that moment we ran into a damn unlucky infected on the road. A bullet bit his shoulder, and immediately, under our attacks, it attracted a large number of biochemical ghosts, forcing us into this room.
We got the equipment, but now we were blocked in this small room by a huge number of biochemical ghosts outside. Who knows how long that seemingly strong door can hold? Maybe the ghosts outside would rush in at any moment!
Seeing that we got the equipment but were trapped by the creatures outside, and that our comrade Bullet was also infected, Hei Sniper God was extremely frustrated and walked anxiously around the room: “Damn it! District 13 already has so many mercenaries infected.”
Old Wan glanced at Hei Sniper God sideways and let out a cold snort, saying, “What? Scared now? We could have escaped if it weren't for someone trying to be smart and insisting on taking the supplies…”
“What do you mean by that?” Hei Sniper God was already extremely unhappy, and hearing Old Wan's sarcastic words made him angry.
“What else can it mean?”
Old Wan sneered. If it weren't for this guy arrogantly going for the supplies, we wouldn't be driven into this situation by the hordes of monsters outside. Old Wan was no coward: “Wouldn't it have been better if you listened to us and didn't take the supplies! But you are so stubborn, making all of us suffer! If I had known it would turn out like this, I should have persuaded Sophie not to bother with you at all. Die out there, serves you right! And stop bringing misfortune to us!”
“You…?”
Hei Sniper God was furious, almost seeing smoke come out of his ears, not knowing what to say. In a rage, he lunged fiercely at Old Wan! Old Wan had already been on guard. Seeing him lunge, he quickly dodged by spinning around.
Hei Sniper God missed Old Wan entirely and nearly lost his balance and fell. Of course, Old Wan would not miss this opportunity. He moved swiftly and struck Hei Sniper God with his elbow, turning defense into offense.? Black Sniper God was caught off guard and was struck on the back of his head, feeling dizzy and lightheaded for a moment. After all, he was a dignified team captain. Although his battle-hardened mind was still somewhat unclear, his body quickly reacted, and he simply crouched down on the ground following the momentum, lifting his foot to kick Old Wan. Old Wan wanted to press the advantage, but unexpectedly, the opponent reacted so quickly and was kicked by Black Sniper God, knocking him backward. The two fought so fast that I didn't have time to stop them before they had already stopped for a moment. Black Sniper God shook his unconscious head, feeling much clearer. Only then did he look Old Wan up and down in amazement: "I didn't expect your skills to be so good! Do you want to join our Blackwater Company?" With you here, our team's strength can reach a new level! ”? Old Wan never expected this Black Sniper God to be so stingy. Normally, for an ordinary person to stand without fainting from such a sudden headbutt, it would already be impressive. He could still counterattack—truly impressive! Touching the chest that had been kicked by the Black Sniper God, he grinned shamelessly: "Cut it out, I don't want to be your subordinate!" ”? "What a pity!" Compared to earlier, Black Sniper was much clearer-headed, and he wanted to say something but was interrupted by the painful sound of bullets. 'Uh! Ahem......'? Bullet's face grew even paler, blood spurted from the corner of his mouth, and every vein in his neck swelled and burst, seemingly in great pain. Bullet! I hurried over to him, opened his collar, and found the wound slowly growing. As the wound worsened, a large amount of black blood gushed out from it. Only now did I remember that ever since Bullet was injured, we had been in the midst of battle and hadn't had a chance to treat it. I wasn't good at helping others, so I quickly cleaned his wound, tore off the hem of his clothes, and bandaged Bullet. "Thank you!" Bullet looked at me with emotion. Seeing the bullets in pain, the Black Sniper God felt uncomfortable too. Plus, we were trapped in this small room by a group of ghosts, and he couldn't help but feel a bit guilty: if I hadn't been stubborn, maybe the bullets wouldn't have hurt; We wouldn't have been trapped here by so many bio-ghosts...... Hmm? ”? "You guys...... Did you notice?"The voice of the Black Sniper sounded a bit hesitant: 'It seems like there's no sound outside?!'
'What?!'
Only after he said this did we realize: for some unknown time, there had been no sound outside the door!
'Haha, could it be that those ghosts suddenly found their conscience?' Old Wan made his cold humor at an inopportune moment. The situation in front of us left all of us confused. Earlier, it had been swarms of biochemical ghosts trying to kill us, finally driving us here. Once we broke open that door, they could come in. But... why did they all disappear just like that?
Could it really be that they 'found their conscience'? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Even ghosts could have a conscience? Then what kind of game is this! But the situation in front of us was just too strange. A moment ago, we were fighting desperately, almost overwhelmed by them, and now they've disappeared just like that?
Unless…
Seeing that the others also looked bewildered, I thought of a possibility! Unless…
'Unless the other side is deliberately pretending to retreat to lure us out! As soon as we open the door, the biochemical ghosts hidden in the dark will attack us en masse!' The one who solved the mystery was not me, but the Black Sniper!
This guy wasn't bad! I glanced at the Black Sniper with admiration and said to everyone: 'Exactly! They can't just let their prey slip away, so there's only one possibility! They are waiting to ambush us!'
We had to understand that although they were infected mercenaries, they were, like us, players. Anyone would try to find a way. We couldn't hide here forever. As long as we thought they had left, whether true or not, we'd come out to check! As soon as we opened the door, it would be like handing ourselves over to be slaughtered. It seemed they were engaging in a battle of wits with us!
It seemed to be true! So what now? Should we continue hiding here? Facing so many biochemical ghosts, this place would eventually be breached. But going out now… we'd die even faster...
For a while, everyone fell silent. The paths before us were only two: go up or not go out? Either choice was the same! Damn it, it's so frustrating! Could it be that we also have to end up like that dead defending mercenary?"As 'wise' as him——suicide?? Just when we were in a headache, Black Sniper made an action that no one expected: we saw him furrow his brows, grit his teeth, as if making a big decision, and walked straight to the door, reaching out his hand…?
'Are you crazy!' Lao Wan and I were so scared that we rushed forward to stop him. 'You just said they are waiting for us to go out, how come…?'
'It's okay, everything depends on you all!' Black Sniper smiled indifferently, touching the RPK in his hands: 'Annoying people, lice! The bullets are up to you guys!'
'What?!' Could it be that he wants to go out himself to lure away those biochemical ghosts outside?
Black Sniper sighed: 'You have to take responsibility for your own mistakes. I don't want to drag you all down! Once I lure them away, you should run out quickly, and get as far as you can.'
'Captain, what are you saying? Annoying people, lice, you guys stop him quickly!' the bullets on the ground shouted.
'Don't stop me!' Black Sniper waved the RPK in his hand, surprisingly aiming the muzzle at us. He said: 'I handle things alone and will take responsibility alone; I won't get you all involved! If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have gotten into this situation, so don't bother me, I still want to save some bullets to deal with the ghosts!'
'You…' Black Sniper, truly a man, looked at us deeply, then opened the door and, in a flash, jumped out. As soon as he went out, nearby, the roars of biochemical ghosts echoed, followed by the sounds of the RPK firing… soon, the sounds outside disappeared.
It seems Black Sniper has lured the monsters away, now he's really gone!
Lao Wan and I exchanged a glance; a missed opportunity will never come again, we absolutely cannot waste the precious time Black Sniper bought with his life!
We quickly helped Bullets up and sprinted out the door, running in the opposite direction of Black Sniper.
'Sophie, which way do we go?'
'Going down would make us too visible, making it easier to be discovered. Maybe those ghosts are downstairs; we should go upstairs!' Turning to see the direction Black Sniper left, I took a deep breath and ran up the stairs together with Lao Wan and Bullets.
Black Sniper, truly a man! I wrongly blamed you.I will remember this favor; someday I will return it to you. (End of this chapter)
