The Flame of All Things Chapter 25 - The Nightcrawler (2)
There is no moon tonight, and I can't see my fingers—
"Don't be in a daze!" Yeslanka's cold voice rang in his ears
A straight, slender leg kicked the monster that had just climbed onto the sand cart, and Yeslanka fell from the sky. Her long blond hair was draped behind her, and her left hand gripped the dagger, and her right hand rested on the holster of the pistol at her waist.
Gu Xiaobei felt a little chill down his back, just now at that moment, the "zombie dog" jumped and rushed onto the sand truck more than four meters high, but he forgot to pull the safety bolt and failed to kill him immediately. At the last moment, YesLanka suddenly appeared.
The number of "zombie dogs" on the ground seems to be eleven at present, except for the previous four, which rushed straight towards the control tower where Ji Jie was, the rest scattered and rushed towards the students of Gu Suri.
"Are you all okay?" Gu Xiaobei shook the radio headset on his ear. The radio network, which had been the norm for a long time, suddenly failed.
"I don't know, someone has destroyed the neon lamp here, I can't see what's going on in the control tower. Yeslanka watched warily around the car.
It was dim outside, and the huge neon lamp hanging in the middle of the control tower had been extinguished, so there could be no one on it. It seems that the "zombie dog" has bitten off the electrical supply here. It's just that the failure of the radio network has put them in trouble.
"What should I do, do you want to go to the control tower?" Gu Xiaobei asked
Yeslanka didn't speak, and made a shushing gesture to him. The "zombie dog" that had just been kicked down shook on the ground, rolled over and stood up again. You don't have to look down to hear the terrifying grinding of its teeth in the air.
The atmosphere was quiet, with the occasional sound of steel falling from a height, and the undulating gunfire getting farther and farther away, were those companions hiding?
There was a biting sound from below, and the two looked over. That "zombie dog" is actually biting tires!
Yeslanka did not hesitate to shoot directly, and the Type 92 mercury bullet hit the "zombie dog" in the spine, although it did not kill it, but it also instantly incapacitated.
There was a bang. The whole sand truck fluctuated. The front left side of the tire still exploded.
"It's smart, it sticks its teeth in and pulls them out immediately, and instead of deflating, it explodes. Yeslanka looked at the "zombie dog" who could not move on the ground and could only roll his eyeballs.
"Is it biting the tire because it's afraid that we will run away?" asked Gu Xiaobei
"I'm afraid not. ”
In the distance, a red light began to flash in a dark corner, and dozens of "zombie dogs" rushed over. It's making a sound to lure its companions over!
"Let's go!" yelled Yesranka
The two jumped along, and in the blink of an eye, they jumped onto another sand truck. There were dozens of these heavy transports parked in the area, and they were like Assassins in an assassin strip flying over the walls.
From time to time, Gu Xiaobei also turned around and fired a shot, and whenever a "zombie dog" was about to approach, he could always hit with one shot. And almost every bullet hits the eye area.
"The marksmanship is very accurate. Yeslanka was a little stunned. He originally thought that Gu Xiaobei was the kind of person who was good at martial arts, but he didn't expect his shooting talent to be so outstanding.
"It's weird...... Isn't there only eleven of them? "He had to shoot five or six of them in a magazine, but he felt that the pressure behind him hadn't diminished at all.
It's still the kind of crowding sound.
They soon came to the end of the vehicle, and beyond that was the blue construction site fence, behind them was a tidal wave of "zombie dogs".
"Sure enough, it's more than that, where did this come from?" Gu Xiaobei fired another shot and shot down the "zombie dog" that jumped high.
Yeslanka turned her head, dagger in front of her, and she wasn't ready to retreat. The magic power in her body was stirring.
Gu Xiaobei had never seen Yeslanka use magic power, whether it was a freshman training camp or an entrance test, he only occasionally heard that her magic power was about hiding her own use when Teacher Yuan Yao summoned students.
"What are you going to do?" asked Gu Xiaobei.
Yeslanka ignored him, she sprinted two steps, rolled forward in mid-air, and landed. A dark curtain shrouded her, enveloping her and the "zombie dogs".
Magical power: Nightfall, which can isolate the sight and hearing within range. It is an extremely powerful means of concealment. Yeslanka can be invincible in the battle with this skill alone.
In the dark curtain below, the "zombie dogs" lost their sense of sight and hearing, and they were shrouded in this strange fog, and they stood there at a loss. In one breath, a dagger slashed through his side, and the throat of a "zombie dog" was slit. Blood poured into it, and it quickly fell to the ground.
The figure only slashed once, and whether she cut her throat or not, she would once again hide in the darkness.
The dogs began to get agitated.
They scurried around, trying to find the target, but were surrounded by companions like them. It was as if the target had disappeared, and then popped out around a corner and took a life with it again.
What's wrong? Gu Xiaobei was a little worried, at the time of crisis, a girl rushed out to block him. It's a shame to say it. The radio headset failed, the neon lamp used for searchlight was turned off, and the view of the control tower was completely lost, and they were disconnected from the team.
There is a danger below, what decision should be made?
Is it to look for foreign help, or to help Yeslanka...... Although he didn't know how to help, whether he needed help or not.
Gu Xiaobei felt that he couldn't leave, and left her here alone, it was too unmanly.
He gritted his teeth and looked carefully at the dark curtain, this fog was extremely strange, the outside and the inside were almost two worlds, and even the light would be swallowed up. If you want to find out, you have to enter it yourself, but it is estimated that it is squeezed into canned sardines. As soon as he entered, a zombie dog would greet him with bared teeth.
"Damn ......"
He raised his pistol and aimed at the hanging platform far away!
One shot, two shots.
The bullets pierced through the night and hit the steel cables with precision, and the steel cables on the crane platform of the control tower were actually broken! A 100-kilogram pile of steel bars fell from the sky.
A half-minute clatter rang out from the building in the center of the site, and the steel bars on the platform smashed into the three-story building.
Gu Xiaobei had never been so nervous, and he didn't know if this method was useful, but he couldn't bear to let YesLanka face so many "zombie dogs" alone.
It's like dropping a decoy grenade in a low building.
The darkness suddenly dissipated at this moment, and Yeslanka jumped up nimbly on the side of the truck. The continuous high-intensity combat made her almost exhausted, and at the moment when she almost fell, Gu Xiaobei grabbed his hand.
She didn't take advantage of the situation, but sat half-hung in the air and looked down.
Except for the "zombie dog" that fell to the ground, the rest rushed to the place where the steel bar fell. The loud sound succeeded in attracting their attention.
"Well done. Yeslanka pulled hard.
Gu Xiaobei couldn't stand it a little, and was pulled forward slightly. The bodies of the two struck lightly on the sand truck.
"Didn't hurt, did she?" he asked, wondering if she did it on purpose.
"Fortunately, the night doesn't last long, the timing is just right, how did you make such a loud noise. Yeslanka was a little tired, and her chest was rippling.
"I broke the steel rope on the pendant, and it happened that the place where it fell was far away from us, so that I could tow them away. Gu Xiaobei was actually a little frightened.
In that case, if one is not handled properly, both of them will become food for these "zombie dogs". The good thing is that everything is just right.
Watching the departed pack disappear into the darkness, they get some precious rest. In the combat effectiveness just now, Gu Xiaobei has already used up two magazines, and now his 92 pistol has thirty rounds of ammunition left, reality is not a TV series, and no matter how accurate the marksmanship is, it is impossible to shoot one shot.
And you must always maintain a good shooting posture, otherwise a dislocated wrist is tantamount to suicide.
D-class mission, is it such a thrilling scene when it comes up?
Compared with these, Gu Xiaobei began to worry about the safety of the other students. Ten minutes ago, from the time the middle-aged man first walked in here, the situation was still under their control.
But Ji Jie's full vision caused a rage of dogs, and then Senior Brother Bolai and the squad leader opened fire, the radio network was quietly destroyed, and the neon headlights were suddenly extinguished. The middle-aged man who kept the dog pack suddenly disappeared.
"What should I do next?" Gu Xiaobei felt that this mission was extremely dangerous, and one mistake would cost him his life.
"Let's go to the control tower. Yeslanka replaced the pistol with a magazine, and she threw the dagger from before because it had the blood of the "zombie dog" on it.
The two jumped out of the transport vehicle, lit it with a combat flashlight, and groped their way in the direction of the control tower. The ground was littered with torn claws, and it was hard to believe how a hairless, vein-barred creature could have been bred.
Gu Xiaobei suddenly thought of Lei Xiangtang, if that guy was there, he could use thunder and lightning to illuminate. But that guy was so withdrawn that he wanted to complete even D-class missions on his own. The minimum number of people in the academy is three, so if you count one commissioner, there should be a number, right?
Such strange thoughts suddenly appeared in his mind, relieving the tense atmosphere now.
After walking a distance of about fifty meters, something reflective appeared in front of me.
"It's the middle-aged man's iron bucket, and it's raw meat. Gu Xiaobei covered his nose, he didn't know what kind of meat was in the barrel, and the smell of blood was extremely strong.
On one side is an iron door to the basement. That's where the "zombie dogs" appeared.
"Do you want to go down and have a look?" asked Yeslanka
"There's definitely a swampy muddy area down there, and to put it bluntly, it's a kennel. Gu Xiaobei said
"Then let's move on. ”
The two continued to explore the past, Yeslanka's nerves were tense, and at the slightest sign of something like a pack of zombie dogs rushing over, she would release the night curtain to envelop herself and Gu Xiaobei.
Gu Xiaobei was measuring whether the remaining hard boundary force could withstand the claws of the zombie dog.
