"You triggered the side quest 'Rescue': Find Dr. Strazy and Senator Duncan. Please choose whether or not to accept it within 1 minute.
Difficulty: B-.
Reward: Unknown.
Description: Doctors and Councillors are of paramount importance in dealing with this disaster, find them!
Please confirm whether you accept this task. β
"Accept."
I accepted it first, and then I didn't say anything about the failure punishment anyway.
Seeing the task prompt, Xiao Yan and Luo Ze glanced at each other, and Luo Ze wanted to ask something more, when suddenly the sentry on the roof shouted:
"Lieutenant, there's a big guy 200 meters ahead."
"Ready to fight, each in place." The well-trained Rangers quickly moved into position and set up crossfire inside and outside the store. There was a loud bang from the roof, apparently snipers were also stationed there.
βWhat the hellοΌβ
"Holy!"
Xiao Yan and Luo Ze looked out the window and screamed in surprise.
A burly figure three meters tall appeared on the street in the distance, walking towards this direction with a steady step. It has a large circular orb on its right shoulder, and when it senses the movement here, it lifts off the upper and lower layers of skin, revealing a huge eyeball.
"Eye Demon!"
The Eye-Seeker is 200 meters away!
It's not as tough as last night's, and it doesn't have its own name, but the Eye Demon is the Eye Demon, and the strong vitality and ranged attack are no joke.
Now there is no preparation, and there are no other contractors, just a group of soldiers armed with small arms, this is the rhythm of the fight.
The stunned lieutenant had already given the order to fight, and a dense rain of bullets splashed on the Eye Demon's body, striking small pillars of blood. But the Eye Demon didn't care and kept walking.
"Lieutenant, we must transfer! This zombie has armor to defend against chariot cannons! Xiao Yan grabbed the lieutenant's shoulders and lifted him up.
The burly lieutenant didn't expect to be lifted into the air, and looked at the soles of his feet in surprise, and then looked at Xiao Yan. Several soldiers were stunned for a moment, and turned their guns to Xiao Yan.
"We fought this monster last night. Light weapons are ineffective against him. Xiao Yan put down the lieutenant and punched a hole in the wall with a punch, "We are special enhancers of the federal government, and we know more about this creature than you. β
Xiao Yan's punch seemed to be very convincing, and the soldiers who had already aimed at him all stared at the big hole in the wall and grew their mouths in surprise.
"Fire is coming!" The sentry on the roof shouted. Don't wait for everyone to reflect it. A sound of breaking the air shook everyone's eardrums, and then there was a loud popping sound from the roof, and everyone felt that the sky was shaking, and large pieces of gravel and sand fell from the ceiling.
"Roar!" The floor thrown by the Beholder shattered the roof terrace, smashing the sniper above into a pile of minced flesh and continuing to walk slowly.
"Retreat! We must retreat! Xiao Yan shook the lieutenant's collar, "You still have a mission to perform!" β
As soon as he heard the mission, the lieutenant reacted and hurriedly beckoned everyone to evacuate.
Rangers, policemen, civilians, and a crowd of people ran out of the gun shop, like ants in an anthill that had been smashed by a bear child.
"To the east! Move towards Raven University. The lieutenant shouted, and the rangers and police followed. The Eye Demon was stunned for a moment, then chased after the soldiers.
"Luo Ze," Xiao Yan grabbed the blonde girl's hand, "Let's go to Raven University alone, it's too big a goal to go with them." β
β¦β¦
It didn't take long for the Rangers and the police to be beaten by the Eye Demon. More and more ordinary zombies poured in from time to time, and the team soon showed a reduction in personnel.
After the two officers were knocked down, the other police officers and civilians dispersed, unwilling to act with the Rangers again. The helpless lieutenant had no time to stop the fleeing police, so he could only lead his men to Raven University.
The roads were littered with abandoned vehicles, and soldiers could easily find vehicles, but they were just as easy to be stopped by more wreckage. After driving and running for more than ten kilometers, more than 20 Rangers finally saw the gate of Revin University.
"The destination is just ahead. Fast! Speed up! The lieutenant finally saw a glimmer of hope, but then shouted again, "Disperse!" Watch out for long-range fire! β
Another huge stone slab flew and leaped over the lying Rangers, knocking a car ten meters in front of it into parts.
The Eye Demon appeared hundreds of meters away. Although its movement speed is not high, it is also unimpeded along the way, smashing the car in blocks and tearing down the wall. Although the Rangers can occasionally move with the help of cars, they also have to dodge the attacks of the corpses from time to time, and they are very embarrassed, and they have not been able to distance themselves from the Eye Demon.
"Why does this guy stay ghosted!"
"It's been chasing us for more than 10 kilometers. Did we provoke it! β
"Sergeant, find a car and rush into the school. The road inside should be clear. The smashed-out lieutenant shouted to his men. The Rangers immediately found two abandoned cars and galloped into the campus.
"What are you going to do? Will you follow us to the professors and senators, or will you go straight to the town hall for refuge? Xiao Yan put down the binoculars in his hand and asked Officer Lutheran, who was standing beside him.
Relying on the rangers to attract the attention of a large number of zombies and demons along the way, Xiao Yan and Luo Ze carefully avoided the zombie group, and even gathered three police officers, including Luther, along the way.
"I ...... We...... Follow you. The frightened policemen thought about it, they didn't have any choice, although there were not too many zombies encountered along the way, but it was all thanks to the pair of tough young men and women in front of them to get away with their lives, and it was estimated that they would lose their lives in less than ten minutes.
"OK, when we find the professor and senator, we'll head from here to City Hall." Luo Ze nodded and beckoned everyone to move on.
The Rangers were gone, and so were the terrifying Eye-Seekers.
"I didn't have time to ask the soldiers, where the professors and senators were." Xiao Yan tapped on his forehead and found that on the display board next to him, a large poster of Dr. Strazi's lecture on genetic technology was prominently visible, and a photo of Senator Duncan with a bright smile was posted next to it.
"It's really easy to understand." Luo Ze pouted, "Then let's go to the school conference hall and take a look." But I don't think the two big guys are going to stay in that kind of crowded place right now. β
"Look for the strongest shelter nearby," Xiao Yan said to a map of the campus, where large glass walls were erected throughout Raven University for the convenience of visitors and students, with various teaching and recreational facilities clearly marked. "The Faculty of Biology laboratory is not far from the venue. Let's go there and find out. β
The campus is also as dead and silent as a cemetery, with scattered zombies staggering by. As long as possible, Xiao Yan and the others will try to avoid fighting with ordinary zombies.
The five men snuck up on the lab building. The disgusting Eye Demon was gone, and it seemed that he had finally lost his purpose.
"Look! Those zombies on the ground. Xiao Yan pointed to the zombies lying at the entrance of the laboratory building, their heads were pierced by sharp blades, and the wounds were clean, and it should have been well-trained people who killed them.
"It's supposed to be the Rangers." Luo Ze thought for a while, "They are afraid of revealing their whereabouts with guns. β
Five people searched room after room. The interior of this laboratory building is quite large, and zombies with blades can be seen from time to time on the left and right sides of the empty corridor.
This shows that the Rangers are also following this path.
