Chapter 16: Pursuit and Escape
Carl erected a rack on the roof to support the recoil of the gun, and luckily the sniper rifle had already been assembled, otherwise he didn't know how much time he would have wasted.
Hiss...... Hiss......
"Hurry up, we're already out of the mall!" The walkie-talkie rang again.
Karl looked through his binoculars, and sure enough, two or three men had hurried out of the gate, followed by a large black shadow.
Carl gasped and said in astonishment, "So much? ”
The black shadow behind them was like a dark cloud covering the sky, and the black pressure was overwhelming, and Ji Si and they were shortened some distance, as if they would be swallowed up by the dark cloud at any time.
"The situation does not allow any further delay, my job now is to cover for them!" With a solemn expression, he stuffed a magazine into the gun.
After turning on the safe, he put his shoulder against the butt of his gun, put on a pair of goggles, and looked inside the optical sights.
"According to Jisi's request, I want to knock out the dark shadows in the back part, or hinder their movement, so as to achieve the purpose of cover." Carl said darkly, his finger in the trigger.
Bang!
The bullet traveled a distance of two kilometers and hit the ground, lighting up with a cloud of light, and the ghosts in the affected area either melted or fled, so as to avoid it. But this time only lasted about three seconds, and the light dimmed.
The surrounding shadows gathered together again and chased after them, and the time they had just bought was leveled out by them.
"Damn it." Carl cursed, pulling the trigger again.
Bang!
The roar of gunfire rang out again on the roof of the building, and another bullet flew out of the muzzle, this bullet accurately hit the center of the road, and the light that lit up killed the black shadows to the greatest extent.
"Good boy, good." Konstan gave Carl a thumbs up as he ran.
"You see, I'll just say that this kid's execution and comprehension ability is simply perfect, I'm afraid that when he grows up in the future, he will definitely be a guy who runs in the dark." Constance said to Kiss.
Kiss looked up at the building, and although she couldn't see anyone, the flashes of light from time to time proved that someone had been supporting them.
"Not bad." She said indifferently.
"Sister, it's rare to hear you compliment others." Rosa said in surprise beside her.
"Hmm." Kiss nodded silently.
……
Bang! Another shot was fired, and Carl couldn't remember the first shot he had made, and he had only one belief in his heart that he would hold on as long as they hadn't arrived.
"Damn, there are so many?" Karl gritted his teeth, his shoulder was already a little swollen and painful, and his shoulder was even injured because of the pursuit of the speed of the bullet fire.
It's just that even if he paid such a big price, he just barely helped them maintain a safe distance. Moreover, because of the movement created in this vicinity, some dark shadows began to pour out of the windows of some buildings within five kilometers of the surrounding area, and more and more ghosts were attracted to it.
The whole situation is precarious, time is even more urgent, there is not much time left for Ji Si and her group, if they don't return to the stronghold within ten minutes, they will never come back.
"I have to do something." At this moment, Karl caught a glimpse of the situation on the other side of Sampson Street. Immediately, his face sank, turned iron blue, and shouted into the walkie-talkie, "There are an unknown number of black shadows approaching in the direction of Rhodes Street, and the preliminary estimate is no less than a thousand, and it is expected to arrive within three minutes, be careful, over." ”
"Three minutes is not enough time for them to get back." He said secretly in his heart.
"Since they're afraid of light...... Carl's eyes flashed, as if he understood something.
"Let's do it."
A mysterious smile tugged at the corner of Carl's mouth, and he had already thought of a way to do it.
……
"He said that there are already more than a thousand ghosts coming to us in three minutes on Rhodes Street, what do you think we should do?" Constance said with some solemnity.
"Need to change the evacuation plan?" Kiss frowned, knowing that it was impossible for the group to enter the Harris Building before they did in three minutes. Then some changes have to be made at this time.
"The risk of a change in plan is too great, and it is better to evacuate as originally planned." Constant, shaking his head, said that he had considered changing the plan, but after repeated consideration, the risks of doing so were more unknown and unreliable than the original plan.
As the brains of a team, he can only choose the most conservative options.
"Maybe we should choose to trust our Carl friend, shouldn't we?" Constance laughed.
"Him?" Jisi's expression was stunned, not amazed by Carl's ability, but deeply skeptical. Even if he has superb execution ability, it does not mean that his adaptability is superb, and she is really a little worried about the captain's choice to hand over the lives of the group to him.
"Is he okay?" Kiss asked uncertainly.
"My gut tells me he's a miracle guy." Constance said, pointing to his head.
"Okay." Kiss sighed.
Konstein laughed silently, no one knew what he was thinking at the moment, and to be honest, he didn't believe Carl could help them. You say, how could a guy who hadn't even taught a lesson in supernatural dealing help them? The reason why he made no secret of his praise for Carl was only to calm the team's hesitation.
"But I don't know how long you can hide it?" He smiled bitterly in his heart.
He kind of regretted walking into that mall, it wasn't something they could handle, there were too many unknowns in it, and they weren't the top teams, so it was hard to get out safely. Even, in order to get out, they have lost a member of the regiment forever.
"Alas...... Too greedy. He sighed. If it weren't for the covetousness of supplies in large shopping malls, it wouldn't have ended up like this. Now not only did I not take much of anything, but I lost a valuable member.
What's most important now? People are the most important.
"Perhaps, I need to take a break after this incident." Constance said secretly. He knew that it was difficult for him to lead a team to success with such an impetuous mentality, and it was time to give way to Kiss or Rosa.
As for why not give way to someone else? He knew it best in his heart, because it was a group of men with only muscles in their heads, and they couldn't lead the team at all. If they were to be the captains, they would probably be wiped out in this cannibalistic city in less than three days.
At this moment, they were already approaching Sampson Street, a few hundred meters or so from the street entrance, even after high-intensity physical training, they were a little overwhelmed.
"Come on, we've seen the Harris Building." Constance cheered everyone up.
