Chapter 1 Doctors

"Huh......... Huh............ Hah........."

Leaning against the sturdy iron door and holding the assault rifle in his hand, the young man's face was already extremely pale, but even so, he still forced himself to calm down and listen to the voices coming from the tunnel. Writing "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info beside him, several other heavily armed companions also had serious faces at the moment, they held guns in their hands, and looked around vigilantly.

"Beth, how's the captain doing?"

The young man asked in a low voice, and looked cautiously through the small hole in the iron door. Not far behind him, a young girl was trying to treat the wounds of a man covered in blood. It's just that the way the girl treats the wound is different from what ordinary people think, she stretched out her hand and put it on the man's bloody wound, and then she saw a faint green light up, and the next moment, the wound that had lost blood gradually healed under the shroud of this green light. The magical-like scene went unnoticed by the others, and the girl's face turned a little pale when she withdrew her hand.

"The captain's bleeding has stopped, but I have no better way, and if I want to save him, I must take him back to town......... Only there can I have better treatment, that's all I can do........."

Beth looked at the man in front of her with a sad face.

"I'm sorry, captain, it's all my fault, if it weren't for saving me, you wouldn't be ........."

"Hehe, don't cry, silly boy..............."

Hearing the girl's cry, the man opened his eyes and smiled with difficulty, he raised his right hand and stroked the girl's little head.

"You're the only one in town who has awakened the authority of the healing realm, and as long as you're alive, our chances of survival are higher. And if you die here, it's only a matter of time before we turn into a pile of rotten flesh here......... At least for now, I'm still alive, aren't I? ”

"However, my authority is only level 1........."

Saying this, Beth bit her lip unwillingly. She only has the lowest level of network access, and her healing ability is relatively weak, and for now, being able to stop the bleeding of the wound is already the limit of what she can do within her authority.

The human beings who survived after the "cataclysm", each of them has similar abilities as in the "system text", and they find that they have an additional "network system" in their brains, through which these people can exchange and trade information just like on the Internet. In the post-cataclysmic world, telephones and transmitters are meaningless, because anyone can stand directly in front of each other and add friends to each other if they wish. After that, even if they were thousands of miles away, they were able to contact each other. It's as if they're not in a real world, but in a virtual network.

Some of them, on the other hand, will awaken to the system's permissions, so as to gain powers similar to the magic or superpowers in novels. The girl in front of her is obviously one of these lucky ones.

"Permissions will always be elevated, don't rush, you're still young, take your time. I was thirty years old before I was granted Level 1 clearance, and now I'm only getting to Level 3. You're not even twenty years old, and as long as you make it back alive, you'll be able to reach level three faster than I do. So, don't cry......... Let others see it, how bad the impact is........."

Although the man's joke was very clumsy, the girl nodded, then reached out and vigorously wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. And at this time, suddenly, the young man who was hiding in front of the door and looking out lowered his voice and spoke.

"Be careful! Something is wrong! ”

Hearing his words, everyone who was originally slightly relaxed suddenly tensed up, and they raised their weapons and looked around vigilantly. Even the crying girl just now picked up the pistol beside her at this moment, and she was well-trained to aim and shoot. This is all the imprint given to them by this era, in which life or death is no longer just a philosophical proposition. Fighting, too, is part of their lives.

"Boom!!"

However, before everyone could get ready, suddenly, with a loud bang, the heavy iron gate suddenly recessed inward, and then fell down with a bang. And the young man hiding behind the iron gate didn't even have time to react, he screamed miserably, and was pressed under the fallen iron door, with a "poof" sound, the flesh under the weight was suddenly sprayed and torn, and the ground was smeared with a shocking bright red.

"No--!!"

Looking at this scene in front of them, the others suddenly had red eyes, and they raised the guns in their hands and pulled the trigger. With a barrage of gunfire, countless loads of ammunition flew towards the door. Such firepower is enough to wipe out most of the invaders.

But alas, not all.

"Roaring ..............."

The smoke cleared, and a huge, pitch-black figure appeared in front of everyone. It was pitch black, with two arms almost as long as its body grasping at the doorframe. The long, narrow, jackal-like head dug deep into it, its scarlet eyes glowing with an eerie light, staring at the prey in front of them. Sticky saliva dripped from between its sharp, hard teeth, emitting a disgusting stench. The previous round of bombardment, which seemed like a raging storm, did not cause any damage to the monster in front of it at all, and there was not even a single scar left on its rubber-hard skin.

"Damn ..............."

Looking at the monster in front of them, everyone turned pale, and they didn't know what to do at all. Because what they are facing is the most terrifying monster in the world, and it is also their worst enemy.

But now, they are helpless.

"Roaring ..............."

Looking at the prey in front of it, the monster let out a low roar again, it opened its mouth, and its two scarlet eyes kept looking left and right, trying to find its prey, but just as the monster was about to attack, suddenly, as if it sensed something, it suddenly raised its head and looked backwards.

At the same time, Beth and the others also widened their eyes in surprise. Because at this time, they suddenly heard a voice that should not have been here.

That's footsteps.

The footsteps in the tunnels were very steady and slow, not like running away, not like tracking, but like a leisurely stroll. But this made everyone more and more cautious, this kind of sound should not appear here, this is a battlefield, they know very well, outside, there are several energy suckers roaming here, and those monsters are the natural enemies of almost all life. The energy-sucking monsters themselves don't make such regular footsteps, although they are monsters transformed from humans like zombies, but the two are far from the same. If zombies can still be called walking living dead, then energy-sucking monsters are nothing more than monsters in human skin.

So, what's going on with the footsteps outside?

The more unknown it is, the more frightening it is. As the footsteps got closer and closer, everyone's breathing began to become rapid, and people held guns in their hands, listening intently to the footsteps, and for some reason, everyone felt a fear that was almost suffocating, as if it was some kind of ominous omen. They had an inexplicable feeling, as if the owner of this footstep was much more dangerous than the monster in front of them.

"Da ........."

At this moment, suddenly, the footsteps stopped, and the next moment, a calm and gentle voice sounded in everyone's ears without warning.

"I was hiding here........."

"Roar!!

At the same time as this voice appeared, the monster, which was already tense, suddenly roared angrily, and then it turned around and pounced behind itself without hesitation. But alas, it was too late.

The monster's body was still flying in the air, but its head and neck were already split, and the silver-white blade pierced through the hard skin that even a bullet could not pierce without stopping, piercing through the skin as if it were mechanically accurate, cutting through the trachea and slicing the spine. But this was not the end, on the contrary, the moment the blade broke away from the monster's body, it seemed to turn into a silver snake, quickly circling and winding around the monster's huge body.

And when the monster's body hits the ground again, it has been completely divided. It was like a cow or sheep to be slaughtered, its body, its limbs, everything was cut open, and the strong smell of blood came from it, which was disgusting.

"It's really impatient, and it doesn't conform to the etiquette of civilized people to do it without saying a word."

With these words, a figure appeared in front of them.

It was a young man, who looked to be no more than twenty years old, wearing a black wide-brimmed hat with most of his face obscured. Unlike most people in this era, this young man was very neatly dressed, and he was not even wearing the leather armor that people of this era often wore, or the steel armor that had been modified. Instead, he wore only a black suit and even a bright red tie, and a trench coat of the same color over it. In the man's left hand, he is carrying a pitch-black leather suitcase.

What happened? Who is he?

Looking at this scene in front of them, the people who escaped death were completely stunned, but even so, they still clenched the weapons in their hands and aimed at the target that suddenly appeared in front of them. Their expressions were nervous and full of fear, after all, no one knew what this man who appeared here for no reason wanted to do.

However, Feren didn't care what they thought, he just lowered the brim of his hat and glanced at the people in front of him. Judging from their attire, most of these people can be regarded as warriors who have experienced battle. Even the young man who fell to the ground in fright by himself just now was holding the gun in his hand, and he had no intention of letting go. And from their neat formation, it can be seen that although the incident happened suddenly, these soldiers still have good military qualities.

No wonder the old man was so anxious to get them back, such a quality was enough to protect the safety of a second-level town from most external threats.

"You're the scavengers?"

Although from the information column in front of him, Fei Lun had confirmed their identities through data comparison, he still opened his mouth to ask. Hearing Fei Lun's inquiry, these people became even more nervous, especially the three men who raised their guns and aimed at Fei Lun, and they were already ready to fire. Soon, however, Feren saw a young girl standing behind the crowd approaching and holding out her hand to stop their further movements. This girl looks quiet and delicate, although she is not particularly beautiful, but she also has a unique temperament. It stands to reason that women with such a posture are rarely seen outside the gathering place. Either they were captives and slaves, or they had special abilities. However, judging from the clean and neat uniform worn by the girl in front of her, the other party should belong to the latter.

At this moment, the girl also spoke.

"We are members of the scavenger squad, may I ask you ...............?"

Hearing the girl's inquiry, Fei Lun smiled slightly before answering.

"You can call me ......... 'doctor.'"
