Chapter 14: The Ghost Lingers

Lin Mo's hopes were dashed after all.

Because in the depths of the corridor, a series of footsteps sounded faintly.

The light of the tactical flashlight still couldn't reach that far, but with Lin Mo's current eyesight and the faint light of the tactical flashlight, he could still see those "people" roughly clearly.

It is no longer accurate to describe them as humans, for they have hollow eyes, staggered steps, and horrible scars on their bodies.

Rather than people, they are more like zombies in movie novels.

If there is one difference between them and zombies, it is that they are extremely quiet, not like zombies, and let out a terrible howl at the sight of a living person.

Chen Jiaming's eyesight was not as good as Lin Mo's, and he could only see a few blurry figures at the moment, so he couldn't make a correct judgment on whether they were a threat or not.

Lin Mo said in a deep voice: "Shoot." ”

Chen Yuandong couldn't help but turn his head, glanced at the man at the back of the line, was silent for a moment, turned his head, and fired without hesitation.

In Lin Mo's sight, a person who was shot three times in the torso was thrown backwards and fell backwards, making a dull loud noise.

And the latter few are no exception, in the inclined firepower, without exception, they fell to the ground, and one of them was even shot in the head, according to the zombie killing theory, they will definitely die.

However, under Lin Mo's gaze, whether he was shot in the head or torso, it was only a moment, and he staggered to his feet again.

Lin Mo gasped.

Chen Jiaming also noticed this, although he couldn't see the true face of the group of guys in the dark, but when he saw the other party being knocked down by a gun and standing up.

Without Lin Mo's reminder, he made a quick decision and threw out two grenades forward.

The next moment, an explosion erupted in the narrow corridor.

The explosion occurred in the middle of the dozen or so "zombies", and of course the flesh and blood of the human body was dismembered into pieces of flesh and blood, and the walls on both sides were also blasted out of two large holes.

And in the midst of the flames and flying fragments of the human body, dozens of basin-sized pitch-black figures jumped out of the firelight like black electric light, and flew in their direction.

"Fire !!"

With Chen Jiaming's loud shout, the four warriors stood in turn in the center of the narrow corridor, forming an impermeable wall, frantically pouring fire towards the dozen or so black shadows, and in an instant, most of them were shot down in the air.

But one of them still burst in and knocked down a fighter beside Chen Jiaming on the spot.

At such a close distance, everyone could finally see what it was.

It was a pitch-black crustacean creature the size of a basin, with dense tentacles stretched out beneath the carapace, and only a pair of extremely short knife legs at the tip.

However, it was the pair of finger-length knives that tore open the warrior's chest like lightning, and the carapace creature, just like that, gnawed at the flesh and blood in it, and quickly crawled in.

Everyone changed color.

Lin Mo finally understood that it was not a zombie at all before, but it was controlled by this kind of monster.

Wait a minute...... Control?!

"Kill him!"

Chen Jiaming also realized that the insect was controlling his companion's body, he gritted his teeth, and hesitated for a very short time for the first time, however, his former "comrade-in-arms" had "moved" again.

Chen Jiaming didn't hesitate anymore, and fired closer to the monster's position, and in just a moment, the body finally died completely, and fell backwards with a bang.

Chen Jiaming took a deep look at the corpse, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go." ”

With that, he raised his gun and rushed towards the front of the corridor, the flames of the previous two grenades had been extinguished, but they could barely clear the way.

Ahead, there seems to be no danger.

If they find a staircase, they will be able to ascend to the twenty-first floor, at which point their chances of survival will be greatly improved by using the helicopter's air superiority.

However, Lin Mo, who was at the end of the line, did not move.

Because at that moment, the cold chill that was like a man's back hit his heart again.

It seemed that as long as he was slightly distracted, he would die on the spot.

In the team, only Wang Yuangu, who had always been very interested in Lin Mo being a rare successful person of the mutation, had been paying attention to him, and it was he who found out that Lin Mo was not rooted in the team for the first time.

Section Chief Wang turned his head and looked at Lin Mo, who was still standing motionless in one posture, and couldn't help but shout: "Xiao Lin, follow up." ”

Hearing the shout, Lin Mo couldn't help but raise his eyes to take a look.

However, he knew that it was bad as soon as he made this almost subconscious action, but fortunately he had been tense and on high alert.

At that moment, he kicked the ground with both feet and rolled out backwards without hesitation.

And where he was, a wall of flames was rising into the sky.

In an instant, Lin Mo's suddenly pale face was reflected very clearly.

The people who ran out of front finally realized the situation behind them and turned around in unison.

In the midst of the flames, at the end of the corridor, a monster was slowly approaching.

It is over two meters tall and almost touches the ceiling, but it still retains some of its human features, or most of its non-human features are extended from humans.

The small half of its body and half of its face were charred black, the scorched half of its eyes protruding from its sockets, while the other face was covered with dense bloodshots, and its eyes were completely obscured by a large blood-red sarcoma.

Its intact arm had been mutated into long, narrow, sharp claws, and three blade legs had grown out of it.

Lin Mo remembered clearly, before, when he glanced at the fourth floor, he didn't have these three blades and feet on his body.

However, in an instant, he realized something.

That's devouring.

Thinking about it along this line, it's understandable that this monster has been chasing after itself.

It wants to absorb and fuse Lin Mo!

Behind Lin Mo was a raging flame, and in front of him was such a monster that was neither human nor ghostly.

The young man couldn't help but look back at his companions, who were just a wall of fire.

Chen Jiaming picked up Wang Yuangu and shouted, "Go." ”

Then, this warrior just glanced at Lin Mo deeply, deeply, and rushed towards the safe passage on the side with Wang Yuangu in his hands.

The others did not hesitate and followed the warrior after him.

And Lin Qianqian, the female star, looked at Lin Mo, stepped back step by step, shook her head while crying, said sorry nonsense, and finally turned around and disappeared from Lin Mo's field of vision.

Before his eyes, the flames were extinguished; Behind him, footsteps approached.

But his heart was completely cold at this moment.
