Colin didn't expect that the owner of this store was an acquaintance.

What they didn't expect was that they would meet again in such a scene.

Ivanov roared and threw himself at him! Colin hurriedly closed the door of the warehouse, but Ivanov's hand was stuck between the cracks in the door, and the zombie's strength was very strong, completely exceeding that of normal humans, it grabbed the crack in the door, squeezed and hit the door panel, and rushed out of it. Colin fell to the ground all at once, he fell to the ground, the wooden door of the warehouse was smashed by zombies, and the zombies that Ivanov turned into pounced on him!

"Bang-"

Just when the zombies pounced, they were shot in the head.

The bullet pierced the glass of the bookstore, through the gap in the bookcase, and directly through Ivanov's head.

The zombie that had turned into a zombie fell at Colin's feet, pulled out a few times, and then stopped moving.

Colin turned around in horror to see two men standing in front of the window of the bookstore—Mars and Ogar.

"Brother Colin! Are you okay. Ogar waved at him.

Mars, on the other hand, was holding his gun, the muzzle of which was still pointing in the direction where the zombie had pounced just now.

The glass of the window had been shattered by Mars, and Ogar jumped over the window, trotted over, and pulled Colin up from the ground, Colin hurriedly took off his shirt that was splashed with zombie blood, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and still looked at Ivanov on the ground in shock.

He didn't know what he had been through, a zombie who had been bitten by a zombie? Or after the third alarm, it automatically turns into a zombie?

He didn't know how many times this had happened before, and how many times it would happen in the future.

But such suffering is endless, and this is the punishment to stay here forever.

Looking at Ivanov's corpse, Colin felt a little scared in his heart.

He pitied him, and he was even more miserable for himself, afraid that one day, he would become such a person, become such a man-eating monster, have no meaning to live, and completely become a walking corpse, unable to feel joy, anger, sorrow, or warmth, wandering at the bottom of hell, never seeing the light of day.

“…… Brother Colin. What are you looking at? Ogar looked at Colin, a little confused.

"Nope. It's nothing. Let's go. Colin took Ogar's arm and walked to the other end of the bookstore, where he saw Mars push open the door and walk in.

Ogar glanced back at Ivanov on the ground, sighed, and silently drew a cross on his chest, hoping that he would rest in peace.

"When did you arrive?" Colin looked at Ogar.

"Just now, as soon as we arrived, we heard the sound of zombies, and then saw you fall out from behind the bookcase." Ogar explained.

Colin nodded.

"By the way, Big Brother Mars said that you told him my location that he was able to save me, thank you." Ogar looked at Colin gratefully, and then at Mars, "And Big Brother Mars!" ”

She was glad that so many people were here to help her, whether it was Mars or Colin.

“…… I'm not trying to help you. Mars looked at little Ogar, "I just don't want Blackblade to be threatened by the Duke." If the Black Blade stays by the beauty's side all the time, it will be bad for everyone. ”

"Yes, I just heard Icarus in the headset that the black blade had scared the beauty away, and now, the beauty is probably fleeing alone again." Colin nodded.

Mars glanced at the computer in front of him: "The computer is broken?" ”

"It's dead, I don't know why." Colin shrugged.

"Try the computers in other stores." Mars said, walking towards the door, where Colin and Ogar glanced at each other and followed him.

It was a wise decision, and now that the Duke was the pursuer, it would be better to pinpoint her location than to flee blindly.

Just as Mars was about to walk to the door of the bookstore, he suddenly heard some discordant sounds, like the sound of rodents crawling across the ground, with some noisy "squeaks", here and there, quickly approaching the bookstore!

Mars stopped, drew another gun from his waist, and both guns in his hands.

Ogar was about to walk up to Mars, but Colin pulled her back a few steps, the little whistle on her chest swaying and making a soft crunch.

"Huh?" Ogar looked at Colin in confusion, just as he saw his expression gradually becoming serious, "What's wrong?" ”

Colin rested his index finger against his lips and made a "shhh

Ogar hurriedly covered his mouth.

At this time, the three of them heard it, and the sound of rustling was getting closer and closer, more and more urgent, like the sound of fur rubbing against the rough floor tiles, with a low cry, approaching here.

Then, suddenly, they saw an unidentified creature emerge from the alley across the street, its round body looking like a mouse from afar, until it quickly sprang out of the shadow of the apartment building, revealing its whole body in the sunlight—

It was a huge mouse, with a body part the size of two watermelons, covered with gray-black hair, dragging a mechanical tail about 1 meter long, on all fours, able to catch all the breath of prey in the air with its nose, their pointed nose and long whiskers, so that they could maintain sensitive perception when moving, a pair of large flesh ears slightly transparent, with distinct blood vessels, it stopped, stood up and sniffed, as if locked in the direction of the bookstore on the street, and then, Rushed towards the bookstore!

[Warning, warning, hostile creatures in front of you]

[Creature Name: Squirrels]

[Target location: 15 meters]

[Creature Level: A+]

Big rats, big rats, no food for me.

Now I love flesh and blood, and I don't eat millet anymore

The rats at the head rushed directly towards Mars, and behind it, seven or eight rats also rushed out of the opposite street, they seemed to smell the smell of flesh and blood, and appeared from the underground sewer on the opposite street, and they still carried the foul smell of the underground sewer.

Mars leaned down slightly, he turned the two guns in his hand, raised his hand, and aimed it at the big rat in the lead.

Mars didn't rush to grab it, but when he approached a meter and jumped up, he shot at the head of the rat, and the rat was hit by the impact of the pistol, and his head exploded instantly, and he fell to the ground and stopped moving. But then the three rats rushed up again, and Mars raised his hand to kill one, turned around and dodged the second, and killed the third with his right gun. The second jumped to the front desk, one turned and pounced on Mars again, Mars blocked it with his elbow, the rat bit his arm with a mouthful of fangs, and heard the sound of the mouse "squeak" in his ear, Mars turned around and killed the fourth rat with a gun, and raised the gun to kill the rat that bit his arm, and threw its body and smashed it on the other three rats who wanted to surround him, the three rats were scattered, but they rushed separately, Mars raised his two guns, "bang bang" three shots, killed the three rats. Then a rat crawled at his feet and crawled up along his legs, Mars shot the rat to death, the rat's blood splashed his face, he grabbed the rat's tail and threw it out so hard that the rat's body smashed against the wall and landed at the feet of Colin and Ogar, causing them to scream.

At this moment, a big rat bypassed Mars and rushed directly at Ogar and Colin!

Colin pulled Ogal to dodge, and the rat chased after him!

But in front of him was Ivanov's corpse, he was staring at them blindly, Colin paused, and the rat behind him had already chased after him, he could only grit his teeth and step on Ivanov's body!

Ogar cried in fright, closed her eyes and let Colin pull her, she staggered, was knocked down by the corpse, fell to the ground, Ivanov's blood splashed her face, Colin turned back anxiously, and saw the rat jumping on Ivanov, Ogar curled up and screamed, but instead of biting Ogar, it moved its nose, as if smelling some delicious food, and then, it ran towards the warehouse!

That's right!

There was also the corpse of a girl in the warehouse, which was not the corpse of Ivanov, who had turned into a zombie, but remained in the form of a human corpse, and she was much larger than Ogar, and theoretically a more palatable target for the rat.

Colin stepped on the blood on the ground and accidentally slipped a little, but he hurriedly stood still with the bookcase, and hurriedly closed the door of the warehouse and locked the rat inside, but the door of the warehouse had been broken by Ivanov just now, and the door lock could not be used, so Colin could only pick up the feather duster that had just fallen on the ground and insert it into the door lock of the warehouse, acting as a latch.

After doing this, he seemed to have been drained of all his strength, sat on the floor against the bookcase, raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, but his face was even dirtier with blood on his hands.

Augar wiped her tears and got up from the ground, and she walked up to Colin and took out a handkerchief and handed it to him.

Colin raised his head and looked at Ogar's hand, her body was also covered with blood, especially her soft blonde hair, which was mostly dyed red, and he sighed: "You wipe it first." ”

Ogar casually wiped his face with his sleeve and smiled: "I'm fine." ”

Colin pushed his eyes, stood up, and rubbed Ogal's hair, "You have to get used to being here. ”

He didn't know if he was saying this to Ojiaer, or to himself.

He scurried around the bookshelves, Ogar followed him, and the two returned to the front desk, where they found the corpses of the rats lying on the ground, Mars was standing against the light, the sunlight shining through the broken window into the bookstore, he was covered in blood, I don't know if it was his or the rats, his elbow was bitten off a bite of flesh, the deep musculature turned out, it looked shocking, the blood ran down his arm and dripped at his feet, but the hand holding the pistol was still strong, and it seemed to be unaffected by this small injury.

"Come out." Mars spoke coldly.

Colin was about to go out, but he saw a man walk in outside the bookstore - the Duke.

Colin's face turned pale, and Ogal just wanted to poke his head out to take a look, but he pushed him back, he turned his head, shook his head at Ogal, and made a "don't speak" gesture again. The clever Ogar understood, and hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand.

"Looks like I underestimated your combat prowess." The Duke looked at the corpses of the rats on the ground and smiled, "Being able to deal with so many A+-level aggressive creatures by yourself, you are indeed a newcomer that should not be underestimated. ”

Mars did not speak, but raised his hand, the muzzle of which was pointed at the Duke.

His face was grim, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and the wound on his face seemed to be aching faintly.

“…… Are you going to kill me? Mars, you are the lamb, I am the butcher, remember the rules of the game. The Duke stood against the doorframe, unthreatened.

"Less nonsense, hurry up if you want to do it."

"It's quite positive that you're begging for death." The Duke snorted, "Aren't you going to think about your partner?" The girl with short silver hair? ”

Hearing the latter words, Mars's expression changed slightly.

The Duke saw the moment, and she spared Mars, rushed to the bookshelf, and as soon as she knocked it down, she saw Colin and Ogar at a loss. She was about to reach out to grab the two, but Mars grabbed her wrist in time, and the Duke looked back to meet Mars's cold eyes.

"If you want to do it, come at me."

"You?" The duke's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Wouldn't it be better for you to get a lot more points for killing me than for killing them." Mars added.

Colin pulled Ogal and stepped back silently.

The Duke's deep gaze was staring at Mars, and he couldn't tell what demon she was thinking.

Mars shouted at Colin and Ogar, "Get out!" ”

"Yes...... Be! Colin dragged Ogar around Mars and ran out of the bookstore.

The duke shook off Mars's hand, and was about to catch up, but he grabbed his wrist, and the moment the duke turned around, he pulled out the dagger and stabbed Mars, but he directly held the blade, and the blood ran down his palm, and he grabbed the dagger with his bare hands, and pulled the duke back to the bookcase, raised his hand and imprisoned her in his arms.

“…… Mars, the lamb cannot attack the butcher. ”

She stared clearly at the anger in his eyes at the threat, but there was no fear.

"I didn't attack you." Mars looked at the Duke from close range, let go of the dagger, and a long wound in the palm of his hand was shocking, "You are attacking me. ”

"Mars, why did you let those two imps go?" The duke's eyes narrowed.

"I want to do good." Mars looked away and took a step back.

The Duke sneered: "Will you do good deeds?" Oh, Mars, to put it bluntly, you are a selfish egoist, and you just let them escape, in no way sympathize with them - otherwise you should have let them flee when they were attacked by the rats just now, instead of choosing to fight alone, regardless of their life or death...... After I appeared, you chose to trade your own stay for them because your brain decided that if I held one of them hostage, Icarus or Blackblade from the other world would have to protect the beauty, and your chances of winning would be greatly reduced. But if they can escape, then your odds of winning in the end increase, even if you might pay some price than making Blackblade or Icarus the beauty's new bodyguard. It has to be said that in a short period of time, you made the most sensible decision. ”

"Is there any nonsense?"

Mars looked at the Duke hostilely.

Obviously, he doesn't like the feeling of having his mind completely seen through by others.

"The last sentence......" the Duke leaned against the bookshelf and raised the corners of his mouth, "I am very pleased with the way you do things, which is the same as I have taught you before. ”
