Chapter 19: Stop breathing
CHAPTER XIX
Su Yuan pressed his hand against the broken wall. Close your eyes and perceive carefully.
"About thirty meters underground."
He then raised his hand and fired a shot under the elevator shaft, the sound of which echoed through the underground space. He listened attentively.
"About 1,000 square meters of building space. In the center is a large laboratory or something like that. That should be the place we were looking for. But there were at least six children crying inside. ”
There were more than a dozen gunmen behind him, and after all, Ethan turned around and forced them back.
"Isn't it the one that went down just now?"
"I can't say for sure, but it's not like the other orcs. As it passed us, my instincts gave me a feeling of extreme horror. But mine was able to hear some strange phenomena. Its heartbeat, its breathing, was weak. It seems to ...... Dying. ”
The shootout continued, but even a bug-level gunner like Ethan was taken aback by Su Yuan's words. Narrowly escaped the blockade by those gunmen.
"What do you mean?"
"I'm not sure. If it were for a normal human being, he would have been lying in bed for a long time. But he can still move, obviously not by the standards of a normal person. ”
"But why didn't he stop us just now, but went to the underground laboratory in a hurry?" Ethan asks this question.
"I said I can't be sure of the information I'm perceiving. But there's no doubt that he doesn't seem to want to fight us. We're going to have to speed it up. ”
Underground laboratory.
The middle-aged man stepped into it quickly. Said to the busy crowd.
"Let the instrument run at full power. Let all the kids start at the same time. ”
"However, the instrument has not been optimally tuned to withstand this kind of full power operation, which could lead to an explosion."
"I'm not consulting you again, it's an order. Get the instrument running at full power, and I'm going to destroy that pesky black tower right now, right now. With a loud roar, he didn't seem to catch his breath, and when he looked down, there was a violent cough. Blood foam has even appeared at the corners of the mouth.
After a few seconds, he straightened up again. Speaking to the researcher who was trying to reason with him.
"As for you, stop breathing." As soon as the words fell. The researcher grabbed his throat violently, desperately trying to open his mouth. But the strange thing is that I can't breathe all the time. The whole person writhed wildly on the ground in pain. Gradually, it lost its voice.
The others, looking unsurprised, quickly grabbed the six children on the side and began to link them to the strange helmets. And at this moment, a violent explosion sounded not far away.
The middle-aged man's face suddenly darkened, and then he took a deep breath and walked out of the laboratory.
At this time, Su Yuan, armed with two automatic rifles, strafed all the way, and smashed all the moving things he saw into minced meat. And just here, in the smoke in front of him, a faint figure appeared.
A strong sense of horror surged up in Su Yuan's heart. The whole person jumped to the side without thinking about it. At this moment, there was a faint sound in front of me, 'flames'.
A fierce flame ignited out of thin air in the void, spreading out in a circular wave. Su Yuan only felt a kind of scorching heat rushing to his face. He grabbed something like a hospital bed beside him and flipped it in front of him.
The waves of fire knocked him away along with the hospital bed. Su Yuan only felt a scorching stinging pain enveloping him. The exposed parts of the body were burned quickly by the high temperature. But fortunately, he protected his head, hands and other parts very well. Most of the burns are on the back, shoulders, and legs.
"Sue ......" this was Ethan's shout.
"Can't die. That's the guy you were talking about. ”
"There is no doubt about it. But I'm now sure he's in a state of weakness for no apparent reason. Otherwise, you would never have survived just now. ”
"I know why." Su Yuan said as he lifted the hospital bed on his body.
"I heard him just now, even though it was far away. But I still heard it clearly. As soon as he finished saying the flame, he erupted a violent cough. There is no time to make up for it. And I'm sure his voice was disguised. When he coughed, his true voice was revealed. ”
"What do you mean, there's something wrong with his voice."
"Of course there is, it's a very old voice. He's very old, probably dying of old age. I guess that's why he's going crazy to attack the Black Tower. It was his last stand, and certainly ours. ”
"But why doesn't it change its body?"
"All the intruders were gradually suppressed to death, but he did not. He didn't even appear until all his companions were dead. And it can be used flexibly. It is undoubtedly different from other intruders. ”
The two wasted no time discussing the topic to the end. Instead, they quickly weave their way through the underground passages, destroying all the power cords, switches, and the like they can see.
An eerie mist suddenly appears underground. At the same time, the slow footsteps sounded again. And Su Yuan had already noticed it one step in advance. He turned, and the rifle in his hand fired blindly. With his instincts, he knew he didn't hit. Strangely enough, though, it seems that the bullets have disappeared out of thin air.
"Dodge." Ethan's prompt came from the side. Su Yuan didn't think about it, and threw himself to the side. At the same time, dozens of bullets flew back in the white mist. The speed is not weaker than the speed shot from Su Yuan's gun.
Bumper gunshots rang out from the other side. A voice came out of the white mist.
"Stop breathing."
Su Yuan's whole body twitched, and he seemed to have suddenly forgotten how to inhale. The whole person suddenly fell into suffocation.
"Concentrate and resist it." Ethan shouted at Su Yuan as he shot his gun. But that didn't work. At this time, Su Yuan really realized the horror of this thing that Ethan said before. Even the other party seems to be weakened to the extreme. But a single photo has already killed Su Yuan in seconds.
However, the other party did not use this trick on Ethan. According to Ethan, it's a kind of psychic interference. As long as the heart is strong enough, it will be able to resist this curse. It's a pity that Su Yuan's spiritual power is far from enough. All he felt was that suffocating feeling was spreading rapidly, and his vision was even beginning to blur. This is a precursor to shock.
