Chapter 4: The Strong
It's really a monster in a science fiction movie, haven't you died to this extent? Looking at the two black shadows that were getting closer and closer, Bai Ji seemed to be able to hear the sound of their fangs gnawing at his own bones.
There was only one last bullet left, and Bai Ji clearly remembered that he fired six shots.
So he trembled and raised his right hand and aimed the barrel of the gun at his head.
Those very small tears had dried on Bai Ji's cheeks, and the rest were all swirling in his already red eyes, Bai Ji had never been so afraid of death in his life.
When his mother died, he didn't cry.
When his father died, he didn't cry.
So after his sister died, he didn't cry even more.
"What a joke!"
Bai Ji finally squeezed out all the strength he had finally regained and roared vigorously at the bar. He turned the tip of his pistol and pulled the trigger at the smaller shadow.
The strong recoil was transmitted through Bai Ji's wrist to his arm, then to his shoulder blades, and finally pushed his whole person to the guardrail of the supermarket. Like a piece of dead pork, Bai Ji slipped and fell to the ground along the smooth glass railing, squinting at the two monsters in the bar.
The high-speed spinning bullet really did not disappoint Bai Ji, although the gun rang out in front, but after a round of fierce explosion, the alien had obviously lost that high-intensity athletic ability, and the powerful bullet of the desert eagle slammed into the cranial cavity of the little alien viciously.
A dark green trail of blood splattered, and the little alien didn't even have time to speak, and his whole body fell backwards. The Great Xenomorph realized what had happened, but could only roar in front of the corpses of his companions.
At the same time, Bai Ji saw a bit of deadly cold light shooting towards him - he didn't have to think about it, it must be the tail of an alien as sharp as a spear, but he didn't even have the strength to move his fingers.
Just be pierced like this, Bai Ji thought, and then closed his eyes.
But he didn't just die.
As if the wind was blowing, but it was like thunder, and Bai Ji heard the sound of gold and iron colliding. When he opened his eyes, a man in a black cloak was as steady as a rock in front of him, and the menacing alien tail was firmly grasped by the man.
The man's hands were wearing an exaggerated pair of metal gloves, which were antique but not rusty. Although this fist glove is extremely hard, it must be at least twenty or thirty kilograms in terms of volume alone, and it is an exaggeration to be able to move freely while wearing such a thing, let alone use it to smash aliens.
What kind of monster is this? Bai Ji couldn't help but think that when the man and the alien were in a stalemate, he only felt a wave of heat on his face, and when he looked closely, it was the flames that erupted from the side of the fist glove. Under the sharp force of the recoil, the man easily threw the alien out.
This alien was already seriously injured, and when he was thrown by the man like this, he couldn't grasp his center of gravity at all, and slapped it viciously on the wall on one side. I saw the stone chips flying, and the alien didn't have time to dodge, but when he heard a roar, the man had already smashed a heavy fist into the alien's face.
But it was just a punch, and the alien head was smashed into powder, and the man shook his hand easily, and the green plasma that adhered to the fist gloves was immediately thrown to the ground, blending with the gravel to make a "squeak" corrosive sound.
Is it saved? Bai Ji was dumbfounded, and the screams of aliens even echoed in his ears. Although the two aliens, one big and one small, have been cleaned up at this moment, if they are not treated, Bai Ji, who has lost too much blood, will definitely die, and he does not expect that the man wearing two big fist gloves will carefully heal his injuries.
At this time, a thin boy also appeared in front of Bai Ji's eyes, but the thin boy ran to Bai Ji's face for the first time and stuffed a black pill into Bai Ji's mouth. Bai Ji, who was already dying, could only swallow the pill into his stomach according to the boy's wishes.
As soon as this pill was put down, Bai Ji felt a light energy fill his body, the grogginess in his head disappeared, and the burning pain in his back was replaced by a chill. If you have to describe it, Bai Ji felt that his injuries seemed to have been recovered in an instant, although it was not to the point of being in that full state, but at least fifty percent had recovered.
"I said Brother Tao, this newcomer is a monster, right? I've never seen a newcomer of such high quality, and even if he didn't die directly after being so badly injured, he even leveled one between the two aliens. Well, it's the smaller one, though. The thin boy poked Bai Ji's face, and then said to Bai Ji: "Uncle, don't be afraid, what I gave you just now was the Recovery Pill, and soon you will be able to recover your strength." ”
Bai Ji frowned and said, "I'm only twenty-eight years old, can you not call me uncle." ”
Then he reluctantly sat up from the ground, and found that the boy also had a black watch on his wrist, and he couldn't help frowning, "Who are you?" ”
"Your teammates."
These were not said by the thin boy, but by the man who was called "Brother Tao" and wore a black cloak. The man looked similar in age to Bai Ji, but in temperament, he gave people the feeling of a sunny boy next door, and what made Bai Ji feel even more dramatic was that this man's voice was quite low, like the voice of an old man about forty years old.
Calm and safe, Bai Ji felt that these two words were the most appropriate to describe this man. But for some reason, the man showed a rather surprised expression when he saw Bai Ji for the first time, not the kind of surprise under normal circumstances, but the kind of surprise that friends who had not seen each other for many years suddenly reunited on a strange occasion.
But Bai Ji didn't know the man, and he didn't even have half an impression. Perhaps it was just an illusion, the man quickly retracted his look of surprise and tapped the heavy metal gloves with his hand, and two huge bullet casings immediately bounced out of the large holes in the side, and then the man removed two bullets from his cloak and stuffed them back.
It seems that this quaint fist glove is also the product of modern craftsmanship, with four large holes on the left and right like that, relying on the gunpowder in the detonating magazine to obtain huge acceleration and increase the power of the blow. But this made Bai Ji even more puzzled, like the punch that smashed the alien's head just now, the speed was extremely fast, and the quality of this fist glove could be described as very powerful.
But can a normal person withstand such a strong force? Such physical qualities are too exaggerated, right? Perhaps seeing Bai Ji's doubts, the thin boy patted Bai Ji's shoulder and said, "Do you feel strong?" ”
"Very strong, can you do it to this extent?" Bai Ji asked.
The boy shook his head and said, "Not now, Brother Tao is the first echelon in the hotel, but I believe that I will be as strong as Brother Tao in the near future." ”
"You can too." The man in the cloak suddenly interjected, "As long as you can go back alive." ”
"Can I do too?" Bai Ji frowned, he couldn't help but touch his back with his own hands, although the terrible wound was still there, it was no longer bleeding out at this moment. This is already a miracle beyond technology, no, it's just magic, and I don't know what kind of existence that thing called the Restoration Pill is.
Seeing Bai Ji's appearance, the man sighed inexplicably and said: "These things should have been explained to you by the system after returning to the hotel, but since we saved you, let me tell you briefly, my name is Liu Wentao, and the one who gave you medicine is Li Xi, and we are all people who were selected by the hotel just like you." ”
Bai Ji nodded and said, "I know, after all, we all have exactly the same watch in our hands." If I'm not mistaken, all the people who wear such watches are our companions, right? That's what you said, the people who were chosen by the hotel, and we're all people who have already died once. ”
"Yes, I don't know what the principle of hotel selection is, but one thing is certain, we have all really died once. But that's not the point, the point is that after we are selected by the hotel, we will be forced to complete the tasks promulgated by the system, otherwise we will be blessed by the system. ”
"Generally speaking, the tasks issued by the system don't seem difficult, such as getting you to go to a certain room until midnight. But in fact, when you enter that room, the demons or monsters that hide inside will attack you. It's like you newcomers are now tasked with getting back to the hotel by six o'clock, but you have absolutely no idea that there are aliens lurking in this supermarket. Unless you can complete the task within the time limit, you will only be killed by the Xenomorphs, or you will be killed by the system. ”
Liu Wentao's words Bai Ji understood, the tasks promulgated by the system seem simple, but they are all unpredictable, and the things to be faced are basically some surreal things, which are extremely dangerous.
However, Bai Ji's attention was attracted by another point.
"Our newcomer's mission?" Bai Ji frowned, "It means that your mission is different from ours. ”
Hearing Bai Ji's question, Li Xi beside him suddenly laughed, and then put his arm around Bai Ji's shoulders and said, "Brother Tao, this guy is really different from others, not only does he look like an unbeatable Xiaoqiang, but his head is also very bright." ”
Liu Wentao nodded and continued: "We are already veterans who have completed the task, and it is naturally impossible to be the same as you in the task. Our mission this time is to protect the new residents of the hotel from dying, and five points will be deducted for each new occupant who dies, and when all the new residents return to the hotel alive, our task will be completed. ”
"A new resident alive?" Bai Ji asked again, "What if all the new residents die?" ”
"Then our mission is accomplished." Liu Wentao explained, "This mission involves a total of 12 people, namely me and Xiao Li and ten new hotel residents like you, if these ten new residents are killed, then Xiao Li and I will be deducted 50 points each." ”
"What's the matter with scores?"
"Scores are everything." Li Xi chimed in, "Whether we survive or not is all about scores." This score is more than just a simple number, but more like a common currency in the hotel, which allows you to get all sorts of things. ”
"That pair of gloves is exchanged for points, right? And the Restoration Pill just now. Bai Ji said, in fact, he had already thought that if it wasn't given by the system, there would be no way to get these two super technological things. And Liu Wentao also nodded and said: "In fact, in addition to weapons and medicines, the points can also be exchanged for anything you can or can't think of, and can even be used to strengthen your body." ”
In this way, the senior man in front of him named Liu Wentao must be a person who has scored a lot of points, after all, his body is already stronger than ordinary people. Then Bai Ji suddenly thought of something, and said: "You said before that if the ten new residents died, you would be deducted fifty points each, and you would not die because of the failure of the mission like us." But there must be some rules in the hotel that make you have to save the new person. If I'm not mistaken, it's that if the score becomes negative, you'll be killed by the system. ”
