Chapter 144: Darkness
The Licker, generally affectionately known as Little Lick or Licker by biochemistry fans, is a monster that looks disgusting at first glance and will still feel disgusting after watching it for a long time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Generally speaking, lickers are monsters created by T-virus infected people, that is, ordinary zombies devouring each other, after the secondary mutation of T-virus.
In the early stages of mutation, because the T virus causes fluid overflow and skin decay, the licker's fur will fall off, and the muscles and bones will be reconstituted by the T virus, which of course requires a lot of energy in the process, so the licker has an extremely strong appetite.
In the middle of the mutation, the monster's eyes will degenerate, and the sense of smell and hearing will become extremely sensitive, and darkness will generally not be able to hinder their movements. Their internal bones decay and their joints are replaced by cuticles outside their bodies, allowing them to perform feeding movements from various angles and climb walls with ease.
In the later stages of the mutation, the limbs of the licker will be completely alienated, turning into huge claws, the tongue will evolve into powerful mouthparts, the brain will be completely exposed, and the epidermis of the brain will be hardened again, whether it is strength, speed or defense, and light fire will basically ineffective against it.
All these changes are the evolution brought about by the pressure of survival, the strength of natural selection, and it can be said that every licker is the best in the zombie population.
Six weird and hideous heads looked at Dave and Chris, and the scene was definitely terrifying to make people have nightmares.
The six lickers crawled on all fours towards the two of them like spiders, and two of them were the first to poke out their long tongues and curl towards Dave and Chris.
"Bang, bang! Bang bang bang! Frantically pulling the trigger, Chris knocked out his empty magazine in an instant, and as he moved his arm with rapid aim, the oversized M500 spat out tongues of fire, but all six bullets were missed, and the speed and instinct of the licker were beyond the imagination of the two.
Those spider-like monsters easily dodged the bullets with a twist of their bodies from side to side, and the high speed did not slow, and they quickly pulled the distance between them and the two of them to one meter.
Chris sweated on his forehead, the gripping sound of small drums and the approaching monsters made him feel a huge psychological pressure, and his hard work was fruitless, which made him feel frustrated at the same time in disbelief.
The little finger of his right hand was pulled at his waist, and his thumb was swiped on the side of the gun, and the empty magazine fell quickly, and the new magazine accurately snapped into the pistol, which was a quick reload that Chris learned from his big father.
The only pity is that even if Chris has outperformed his performance than before, this quick reload is still too slow in front of the licker.
Chris isn't fighting alone, though!
In the face of the pounced licker, Dave had already slashed off two long tongues with a sword sideways, his agility was on par with that of the licker, while the two lickers were in the air and had nowhere to borrow their strength, Dave did not retreat but advanced, and the lightsager slashed through a blue light, cutting the head of the licker on the right in half.
Before the power of the sword could be exhausted, Dave twisted his waist and plunged his lightsaber into the abdomen of the licker on his left.
Hit hard, and not dying like its companions, the monster roared, still in mid-air, and had already slapped one paw at Dave.
At this moment, the bright lights above the heads of the two superheroes went out at the same time, and the entire large room was plunged into darkness with no fingers visible, only Dave's body and lightsaber flashed faintly fluorescent, of course, these lights were meaningless to the whole battle, and Dave still couldn't see the whole picture of the licker he was plugging in.
"Damn it!" Scolding secretly, how could Dave not know what those people think, the darkness is the best hunting ground for lickers, although Dave's hearing is also keen, but it is far inferior to these monsters, this lightless darkness is a real big disadvantage for them, to be honest, they are very likely to capsize in the gutter.
After a short period of acclimatization, Dave quickly took a step back, dodged the licker's claws, and threw three darts with his free left hand, flying in the direction of the licker's head according to his previous memory.
However, the sudden darkness still affected Dave's play, perhaps the licker tilted his head, the three darts did not fly on target, and the licker who landed struggled for a moment, jumped up again, and rushed towards Chris.
Dave's reaction was a little slower, he stepped out to reach out to grab the licker, but was wrapped around his neck from behind by a long silent tongue, fortunately, Dave's reaction was fast enough, he decisively pulled out the ribs from his waist, and stabbed his neck with his backhand, ready to cut the long tongue in two, but before the short knife touched the tongue, the licker behind him had already retracted his tongue and pounced on Dave.
Being delayed like this, the gap between Dave and the licker in front of him was suddenly widened, and he hurriedly used a stand-in, [Heat Death] Void hand grabbed the licker's leg and pulled it hard, and the monster was dragged directly to the ground, which could have torn Chris claw blow only to the air.
Chris was startled by the equally bad feeling of being swept by the cold, foul-smelling wind, but he wasn't the kid he had debuted with, and a noble goal gave him unwavering courage, and the gun-wielding hand pulled the trigger steadily after a fleeting tremor.
He shot into the darkness without hesitation!
"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”
Three gunshots rang out, time seemed to slow down, the sound of bullets shuttling through flesh and blood was painful, and with the flash of fire, the second licker shot his head and died.
In order to help Chris, Dave was powerless to dodge, and the licker who pounced behind him grabbed him directly, the sharp giant claws flashed towards the back of his head, directly tearing part of the armor, Dave stumbled, under the heavy pressure and slam of the licker, he almost fell, but he held on.
"Die, monster!"
While scolding angrily, Dave elbowed back, his arm accurately focused on the licker's chest, which was one of the weaknesses of these monsters, and almost at the same time, the high-speed moving stand-in [Heat Death] also smashed into the licker's head with a punch, he directly changed the internal energy of the head, and the high temperature burned the licker's head.
The third, death!
Three of the six lickers died, which is a good record, but Chris and Dave's challenge has just begun, which is extremely unfavorable to humans, the darkness directly strengthens the speed and reflexes of the lickers, and makes them even more elusive, the remaining three lickers seem to realize the power of Chris and Dave, but they are quiet, quietly lurking in the dark, waiting for the time to hunt.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chris and Dave completed the reunion, and the two stood back to back, facing the inky darkness.
"What now?" Chris gasped.
"Use a stand-in!" Dave replied decisively!
