Chapter 53: The Licker's Heart
Ethan ran out of the last bullet in the magazine and headshot the last zombie, remembering that when he first got the thermal weapon, his shooting skills were completely blown up by Arthur.
With so many years of diligent practice, the improvement of physical fitness and the strength of his mental strength have made it easier for him to 'lock' on the target, and now it is not difficult for him to shoot headshots.
plus the next few people, Leon, a rookie police officer who has received comprehensive training, Claire, a tough girl who has received special guidance from his tough brother, and Robert, a gun shop owner who plays with guns all year round.
Not to mention the last Serena, she didn't make a move at all, and the zombies in this room were not enough for these few slaughterers.
She was curious that Ethan should not be interested in this kind of minions when he was not in absolute danger, Serena didn't know that when he killed Marven just now, Ethan's holy light had undergone an unknown change, so he deliberately used these zombies to do an experiment.
"It seems that Marven's situation is more special. Am I looking for that unlucky guy who has the T-virus and is hopeless?"
Ethan wasn't sure either, and he didn't have much time to study the Holy Light Cross carefully, so he put the matter aside for the time being to see if he had a chance to try again.
The empty magazine was withdrawn and not discarded. When you really fight, no one will throw away the magazine, because the bullets are easy to find, but the matching magazine is not easy to collect.
After cleaning up the zombies here, the group did not continue to walk forward, but exited to the hall, and then used the card that Marven handed to Leon to open the two locked doors.
"What should we do next?"
The door was unlocked, but no one rushed over, they didn't know what to do next. I thought that the police station would be the safest place in the city, but now it seems that the police station has completely fallen, and it is definitely not possible to stay here.
"Let's look around and see if there are any survivors. ”
As a police officer, Leon has made his own decision to continue his responsibilities and make sure there are no survivors in the police department.
"Then we left the town together. ”
Raccoon Town is just a small town, not a big city, and under normal circumstances, you can get out of town quickly by car.
But the chaos outside, and the blocked roads, meant they couldn't count on vehicles like cars.
At the same time, the dense zombies on the main road are too dangerous, and they can only walk through the small path, which takes more time.
"We need to gather everything we can use, including weapons, ammunition, food, and water. Ethan looked around, there was actually some clear water scattered here, but no one had done anything to collect it: "Try to choose the sealed one for the latter two." ”
No one questioned that after learning that the disaster was caused by some kind of biochemical virus, they probably didn't want to touch any food and water, but they didn't know how much time it would take to get out of the city, and they had to hydrate after continuous strenuous exercise, otherwise they might not be able to hold on before they went out.
"So now let's search the inside of the police station. ”
Leon looked up, and from here he could see that the police station had three floors, and there should be underground facilities.
"Where do we start our search first?"
No one proposes to act separately, in this environment, only by gathering together can we ensure safety, and it is safer to take care of each other, and this kind of thing is only possible for the protagonists in horror movies who have controlled their IQ by mysterious forces.
"Either way, to be honest I don't think I'm sure there will be survivors here. ”
The police station was so quiet that Robert felt that even if there were survivors, eighty percent of them would be injured like Marven and couldn't move, but anyone with sound limbs and mobility must have already thought of escaping from here.
"I wanted to find the STARS office first and see if I could find some clues. ”
Claire's main concern is still the news of his brother, she has learned from Marvin that Chris has not been at the police station for a while, and may not even be in Raccoon Town, but it is all speculation, and she wants to find STARS's office to see if there is any news from Chris's desk.
"In that case, we're going to go this way, and then follow the hallway all the way to the end, to the corner, and go up the stairs to the second floor. "Robert and Barry of STARS know each other well and certainly know where their office is.
With Robert's explanation, the crowd also decided on the way forward, and advanced to the larger door.
Ethan knew that there was a licker waiting for him and the others next, and he didn't want to warn everyone, but because there were more people this time, when the licker crawled through the window, Robert, who was walking behind, saw a flash of red figure.
"Fake, what the hell is that!"
Excited, Robert almost raised the shotgun in his hand to the window, but fortunately his finger was not on the trigger, otherwise he would have gone off fire by such a start.
"What do you see?"
Leon walked in the front, and he was a little relieved that there was an empty space ahead, but Robert's voice made him nervous again.
"I don't know, the thing flashed by and it felt like we'd be in trouble. ”
Unable to ask for details, Leon pulled out the shotgun that had been carrying his back behind him, then raised it in his hand, put his fingers on the side of the trigger, and walked forward cautiously.
Originally, in the plot, it was supposed to continue to move forward, and only after passing around the corner would you encounter the licker.
I don't know if Robert's voice attracted the attention of the licker, and the licker, who judged the location of the prey by hearing, took the initiative to kill it, and the extra-long tongue that could penetrate the body armor shot at Leon in front at a very fast speed, if there was no accident, the rookie police officer would be pierced in his body at the lightest.
But with Ethan here, how could he give the Licker such a chance? He had already heard the sound of the Licker moving quickly, so before the Licker could launch a sneak attack, he had pushed Leon aside, and then reached out and grabbed the Licker's long tongue.
At this time, everyone saw clearly what kind of monster was suddenly killed.
It was a bit like a skinned man, but it was lying on the ground like an animal, and it was supposed to have a pair of huge claws on its hands, and just looking at it could imagine how terrible it could be.
The red monster had no eyes, and its exposed brain occupied almost half of its head, and the other end of its tongue, which was several meters long, was being clutched in Ethan's hands.
"What kind of monster is this!"
Robert raised his weapon, and Leon, who had been knocked to the side, came to his senses and raised his weapon to pour out all the bullets in the gun.
It's just that before they could attack, the red monster had already pounced on Ethan with an unreactive speed.
"Be careful!"
Leon even made a move to knock Ethan down in order to avoid the monster's attack.
But the monster was moving too fast, and he took a pose, and the monster had already pounced in front of Ethan, and then raised the huge claws in his hand......
Then it was stabbed to death by Ethan with an iron rod in his hand.
Forehead......
Leon and Robert didn't know what this monster was, and they didn't know what kind of weakness it was, but that wasn't a problem for Ethan.
Licker, the name was given by the police of the Raccoon Town Police Department, and unlike the biochemical weapons specially cultivated in the movie, this is a monster that evolved on its own in the game plot.
When infected with the T virus, the metabolism of the whole body accelerates, and a huge hunger begins to occur, if you can replenish enough 'energy' in time, there is a certain probability that the zombies that become after the T virus infection will evolve.
In the early stages of evolution, they will have a more agile movement speed and a much sharper sense than the average zombie. As you continue to evolve, your rotten muscles will begin to recover and even become stronger, and your hands will gradually turn into large, sharp claws, until they will eventually evolve into the shape of a licker.
Lickers have no vision, because they end up without even eyes, and rely entirely on their strong sense of hearing to find their prey.
At the same time, the Licker's weaknesses are few, and ordinary weapons will not cause fatal damage even if they hit its body. The only two key points are the head, no matter how tenacious the life force of the licker is, the head will not be able to continue to live even if it is broken.
In addition to this, the biggest point is that the body protrudes slightly, and the heart part that is completely protected by the loss of covering. In order to protect this vital point of their own, the licker is in a crouching position most of the time, and only when he jumps in mid-air will this vital point be exposed.
Ethan was waiting for this moment, although the speed of the licker was fast, it was not so fast that he couldn't react, plus he now exceeded the reaction speed and strength of humans, he could easily attack the key point of the licker.
An iron pipe pierced the licker's heart, and Ethan took advantage of the gap covered by the licker's corpse to quickly take out the prop from the space with his left hand, and drew some blood from the licker's heart, and then quickly retracted into the space.
The T virus arrived smoothly, and it was also a T virus that was carried by the licker to get a certain evolution, no matter whether he could get the original solution of the T virus later, at least he had a guaranteed harvest.
His movements were fast and stealthy, and the crowd didn't notice them except for Serena's awareness.
What's more, they were all stunned by the image of Ethan stabbing the monster to death with an iron pipe.
