Belle and Ariana hurriedly jumped down the stairs and landed in the halls of the library. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ๏ฝ‚๏ฝ‰๏ฝ‘๏ฝ•๏ฝ‡๏ฝ…ใ€‚ ๏ฝ‰๏ฝŽ๏ฝ†๏ฝ

"End the brain, start ...... watch" The two of them held down the headphones and looked down at their watches, "It's 18:35, and we'll be in the main building to meet you in five minutes." โ€

"Wait! Heavy artillery, Doctor ......" Phoebe's tone suddenly became intense, and Belle and Ariana could almost imagine the girl in the white dress glaring at her, "Just ...... A fourth hunter has suddenly appeared near the library, approaching you! โ€

Belle and Ariana were taken aback.

"Fourth ......," cold sweat slid down the girls' cheeks, "Are the hunters of the entire city of Shanghai concentrated here tonight?" โ€

"It's not normal." Ariana shook her head.

For some reason, it is clearly counterintuitive for hunters to flock like mad dogs that smell blood...... Hunters are supposed to be loner creatures, and the result of the encounter between two hunters is bound to be the death of the fish, but tonight these creatures actually joined forces to attack the academy, acting like an army, and something must be attracting and even ordering them.

What exactly is it that attracts them?

"Heavy artillery, doctor...... Your mission has changed, so please guard the library. Phoebe said, "And ...... Don't die. โ€

Belle and Ariana looked at each other, then turned and ran upstairs.

Lu Xun huddled in the laboratory, wearing headphones, silently adjusting the channel.

The sirens outside the window had stopped, followed by gunfire and explosions, the trail of fire and tracer bullets flashing in the night sky, mixed with the screams and roars of the people, but these were far away from Lu Xun, who was alone in the research institute upstairs of the library, looking through the glass at the black figures in the night.

A huge shadow jumped out of the shadows of the dormitory building, the men of the security department were shooting with guns fifty meters away, they were relying on the wall to shoot violently, the bullets cut a bright fire in the air, Lu Xun couldn't see what the hunter looked like, that thing was set on fire by more than a dozen automatic rifles, dozens of bullets hit its body every second, the sparks of the stars burst out, and the monster was forced back by the kinetic energy of the bullets.

This was the first time Lu Xun had seen how ordinary people dealt with hunters...... The perverts of the Hummingbird Hunting Team can kill a hunter as easily as a chicken, but for ordinary people, even the lowest-level hunter is a helpless monster, and the dense bullets can't even penetrate the body of the thing, so it can only force it back.

There was a muffled sound, and more than a dozen smoke trails were pulled out of the air.

Grenade! Lu Xun's heart sank.

The flames of the explosion lit up the night sky, and it was clear that Molotov cocktails had been used, and the flames rose into the sky, burning more and more, and the security guards hung their red-hot guns and watched, like a crowd around a campfire.

"That thing isn't dead yet." Lao Jia said suddenly.

Lu Xun was stunned.

A black creature covered in fire roared and threw itself out of the flames, and for a moment Lu Xun could see what the thing looked like, and the orange-red firelight illuminated the monster's uneven face, such a monster did not exist in even the deepest nightmares...... It stands to reason that there is no such creature on land, with a pair of dark red eyes, eight strangely long tentacles entangled and waving, it drags a huge body nearly three meters tall, but it is as agile as a gibbon.

The hunter rolled two tentacles into the fence of the lodging balcony and leaped up the high wall, moving back and forth on the vertical wall, roaring and popping a tentacle that grabbed a security officer and retracted.

The man's mournful howl and cries for help came to an abrupt end with a crisp "click".

Everyone present could only watch as their companions were torn to pieces by the monster, blood splattered everywhere, and they could not be rescued, and if they approached rashly, they would only end up with the same fate as the victims.

The blood-drenched tentacles danced like snakes, and the monster began to devour the corpses in front of everyone, dismembering the dead with its four tentacles, then rolling up the internal organs and severed limbs into the mouth, the layers of fangs turning like the blades of a meat grinder, and the tooth-aching "click" echoed in everyone's ears.

Everybody's face turned pale.

It's hell.

Lu Xun was stunned, the cruelty and horror of this world were displayed in front of him for the first time, in an extremely bloody way, which caught the young man off guard.

This is the war between humans and hunters, not a game, no heroes, only blood, survival and death.

Lu Xun was a little unimaginable, the originally quiet campus turned into a battlefield overnight, and someone could die every moment, he didn't look at it anymore, and he would definitely have nightmares if he looked at it again...... An extreme sense of powerlessness rose to his heart, he had no way to save those people, the current Lu Xun was just an ordinary person, and it was also a dead end to encounter such a monster.

When the sun rises tomorrow morning, there will definitely be a few fewer breakfasts to prepare in the academy...... No, maybe the academy won't make it to tomorrow morning? The morning sun that rises tomorrow morning may only shine on a lifeless ruin and torn corpses. Four hunters invaded at the same time, and even the hummingbird hunting team couldn't deal with it.

"That guy is also the best among the Marauders." Lao Jia spoke up, "Stronger than all the hunters you've ever seen before." โ€

"Can we win?" Lu Xun sat on the floor against the cabinet, "Can the hummingbird team take down those monsters?" โ€

"According to my calculations, the hummingbird team has a win rate of no more than 33 percent, and the fatality rate may exceed 50 percent." Lao Jia said, "In other words, among these people you know...... The black-clothed Lemon, the little girl holding a stuffed animal, the queen of the institute, and the Bei Cannon, they all may die. โ€

Lu Xun was stunned.

"If the four hunters who invaded the academy were all of the type you just saw, then I estimate that the academy would be able to hold on for another two hours at most." "Within two hours, the resistance in the safe zone will be exhausted, and all the combatants, including the hummingbird hunting team, will be killed...... After that, the academy would be reduced to a hunting paradise and slaughterhouse for hunters, and ordinary people who took refuge in bunkers would be caught one by one, killed, and eaten. โ€

Lu Xun shuddered and shuddered.

He didn't dare to imagine what would become of the completely lost Academy, where a hundred living ordinary people would be exposed to the fangs and claws of the hunters, and they would become targets for wanton hunting...... It would be a hell on earth soaked in blood and death.

But this scenario has been repeated countless times over the past few decades.

"Land Patrol ...... It's too late for you to escape. "I can hack into the academy's system and open the door to the laboratory, and you can prepare enough food, water, and weapons in two hours, and then escape from this hell on earth." โ€

"Run? Where can I escape? Lu Xun muttered, "The whole world is hell." โ€

"No...... I've researched the history of this world, and when I hacked into the academy archives, I accidentally discovered the government's doomsday virus response plan, and there were safe zones all over the world back then, and I had a detailed map. Lao Jia said, "There must still be a safe zone that has persisted until now, you just need to find them...... and be saved. โ€

"But how do I get there?" Lu Xun asked, "Won't you die halfway?" โ€

"Hummer." Lao Jia said, "There is enough transportation in the garage of the academy, at this time the whole academy is very chaotic, ordinary people have all taken refuge in bunkers, the security personnel are fighting with the hunters, no one will notice you, you just need to fill up the gasoline, it can take you anywhere you want to go." โ€

Lu Xun was stunned, Lao Jia's words were indeed very reasonable, he thought of every step, the plan was strict, this was definitely not a temporary idea, could it be that this guy had already been thinking about the escape plan in case the academy collapsed?

"Let's go, the longer it drags on, the worse it will be for you." Lao Jia said, "The faster you go, the less likely you are to be overtaken." โ€

"But I'm a deserter, right?" Lu Xun asked, "It's very immoral to sneak away when others are desperate...... Do you know Lao Jia? The thing I hated the most was deserters. โ€

Lao Jia was silent for a long time, "Are you serious?" โ€

Outside the window, there was another violent explosion, which looked like someone had used a grenade, and charred rubble flew down.

Lu Xun didn't answer Lao Jia's question, he understood what Lao Jia meant...... Do you mean that? If it is serious, then it is equivalent to rejecting Lao Jia's evacuation plan, but the consequences of doing so are likely to be a dead end.

"Lu Xun, I am only responsible for the safety of your life." Lao Jia continued, "I don't care about the lives and deaths of other people. โ€

Lu Xun remembered that during World War I and World War II, there were some very aristocratic naval captains, who never took advantage of people's danger and were polite to the enemy, and if their warships were sunk, then they would inevitably order all their troops to evacuate, and then stay alone to live and die with the ship.

Lu Xun will think at this time...... What would the captains of the ship, sitting alone in the bow of the ship, watching the crew leave, thinking at that moment?

Now the academy ship is about to sink...... Does he have the consciousness to stay and live with it?

Hell, he's not a nobleman, he can't do such a noble thing.

But why didn't he want to agree with Lao Jia's plan?

"Lao Jia, do you remember that letter?" Lu Xun asked.

"Which letter?"

"It's the letter the academy sent me after I refused to join the hummingbird group." Lu Xun replied, "The one that said a lot of nonsense." โ€

"How?" Lao Jia remembered.

"In that letter, I was one of the only one hundred and twenty people left in the world, shouldering the responsibility of one hundred and twenty percent of the inheritance of human civilization and the continuation of the race."

"Do you still remember this kind of nonsense?" Lao Jia was stunned, "I remember that you have always hated the responsibilities imposed on you by others. โ€

"yes, I'm annoying." Lu Xun said, "If I run away now, I will be the only living person in the world...... Isn't this huge responsibility all on me? I can't stand that. โ€

Lao Jia was silent for a long time.

"Okay, are you in daily death mode again? If you don't want to escape, then PlanA is invalid, so let's use PlanB! โ€

"I knew you bastard was still in the future!" Land Patrol surprise.

"...... Those hellish big squid, so desperate to come to me at this time for trouble. Lao Jia exposed the nature of the villain, "I'm going to make them all into teppanyaki!" โ€
