Since he didn't meet an infected person when he came, Bai Qi was a little relaxed.
But sometimes, accidents often happen when you think it's safe, when Bai Qi walks past a garbage can, a blue-gray shadow howls out of the garbage can, and unexpectedly throws him to the ground.
Fortunately, this garbage can was on Bai Qi's left side, and his left hand had been holding the shield tightly.
Bai Qi subconsciously blocked his head and face with a shield, and then he was pressed to the ground by the infected.
Bai Qi reacted very quickly, and when he was knocked down, he immediately used his shield to push the head of the infected hard, and used his knee to push the infected person's abdomen, pushing it away from himself, and after making room, he held the right hand of the short knife and stabbed it fiercely towards the infected's flank.
This short knife, made of automobile leaf springs, quenched and carefully polished, is ugly but extremely sharp, and after Bai Qi was transformed by the angel virus, it pierces the relatively soft abdomen of the infected person with far more power than ordinary people, just like piercing rotten wood.
The short knife stabbed into the abdomen of the infected, and Bai Qi held the handle of the knife and stirred it desperately, causing the infected to let out a terrible howl in severe pain.
Bai Qi took advantage of the opportunity of the infected person to leak his strength due to severe pain, and suddenly turned over and pressed the infected person under him.
Qin Qing, who was following him, was about to step forward and shoot the muzzle of the gun on the infected, but she didn't want Bai Qi to suddenly turn over and almost hurt him by mistake, scaring her into a cold sweat.
After Bai Qi turned over, he pressed the chest of the infected with his shield, stabbed the infected into the neck with a knife, and pulled it sideways, cutting open half of its neck, and bright red blood spurted out.
In the midst of the pain, the infected flailed their claws, one claw rattling at the helmet above his head, and the other claw happened to grasp Bai Qi's only cheek that was hugging outside, and the sharp claws scratched through his cheek, and his fingers pierced into his mouth.
Bai Qi opened his mouth and bit the finger of the infected person that pierced his mouth, and then raised his hand and stabbed it into the eye socket of the infected person.
Since he almost injured Bai Qi by mistake just now, Qin Qing stood aside and shrank a little, not daring to shoot lightly.
At this moment, a howl suddenly came from the mouth of the alley not far from them, and Qin Qing looked back to see that an infected person who had come out of nowhere was rushing towards this side at an alarming speed.
Bai Qi, who was desperately fighting with the infected person under him, saw the new infected person, bit off the finger that pierced his mouth, and shouted: "Leave me alone, I can handle it, shoot quickly." β
Needless to say, Qin Qing had already raised his hand without hesitation and pulled the trigger towards the new infected.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Qin Qing felt that the movement speed of this infected person was obviously faster than the infected person she had encountered before, and she fired several shots in a row, but she didn't even hit.
But in the blink of an eye, the infected person had already fallen less than five meters away from her.
Although Qin Qing had always been calm and intelligent, she was a woman after all, and being pounced so close by this ugly and murderous humanoid creature, she suddenly fell into an uncontrollable panic and panic, and the gun in her hand was even more inaccurate.
The infected leaped up three meters away from Qin Qing and pounced on her.
Qin Qing screamed, and closed her eyes in fright.
Qin Qing, who closed his eyes, waited for a moment, but instead of waiting for the expected pounce, he heard the muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and a series of painful howls from the infected.
When she opened her eyes, she saw that Bai Qi had thrown the new infected to the ground, pressing it hard with his shield, and the short knife in his right hand was stabbing the infected in the waist and abdomen.
Qin Qing looked back and saw that the infected person who had pounced out of the garbage bin was lying on the ground twitching gently, and a large amount of blood was flowing all over the ground.
It turned out that just now, at the critical moment, Bai Qi gave up the half-dead infected who had been stabbed by him, flew up and pounced, holding a shield and slamming into the new infected.
The size of this infected person was obviously much smaller than the infected they had encountered before, it was only about one and a half meters tall, and its body was thin, looking like a larger monkey.
This infected person has a shriveled rue on his chest, obviously a female infected person, Bai Qi guessed that this is an Asian female infected person, otherwise it would not be so thin, after all, this is the city of San Francisco, which has the largest number of Chinese in the United States.
The thin body made the infected faster and more agile, but it also made it less powerful, and it was knocked to the ground by Bai Qi and pressed underneath.
Bai Qi took advantage of the situation to press down on its head with his shield, and the short knife in his left hand was unforgivingly stabbed the infected in the flank.
The infected's struggles soon faded into weakness.
Bai Qi jumped up from the body of the infected person and shouted at Qin Qing, who was in a daze, "Hurry up!" β
After saying that, he rushed towards the alley from which he came.
The two had just run more than 20 meters when another infected person pounced from the mouth of the alley.
Fortunately, the infected did not chase after Bai Qi and the others, and it pounced on the two seriously injured infected and tore them apart.
Bai Qi and the two of them stepped up and accelerated towards the back door of the factory.
The two had just entered the side alley where the back door of the factory was located, when a cold electronic sound suddenly sounded in Bai Qi's mind, startling him who was nervous.
"Recruit 4587, you use a cold weapon to kill an infected person, meet the preconditions of the advanced mission 'Courage', and activate the advanced mission 'Courage'. β
"Since Recruit 4587 has stimulated the Advanced Mission, activate the character panel in advance."
Then, Bai Qi felt that something suddenly appeared in his mind.
But at this time, he naturally didn't care about this, and pulled Qin Qing to bury his head and run wildly.
The two finally fled back to the back door of the factory, Bai Qi let go of Qin Qing's hand and said softly, "Knock on the door!" β
With that, he raised his shield and drew his dagger to block the middle of the alley.
The back door quickly opened, and Bai Qi retreated backwards and followed Qin Qing into the iron gate.
Watching Feng Yan quickly close the iron door and tie it up, Bai Qi couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and a wave of exhaustion welled up in his heart, making him stumble.
Qin Qing hurriedly stepped forward to support Bai Qi, frowned and gently stroked his injured cheek, turned back to Feng Yan, who was looking at the terrible wound on Bai Qi's cheek in surprise, and said, "Go and bring the gauze and medical tape in my backpack." β
Feng Yan nodded, and quickly ran towards the car wash.
Bai Qi reached out and touched the wound on his cheek, and found that in just a few minutes, the blood on the wound had already shown signs of clotting and was no longer flowing, shook his head, and said, "It's okay." β
He speaks somewhat out of tune due to the piercing of his cheeks.
Bai Qi sat down against the iron door, and such a continuous, high-intensity desperate effort made him feel very tired.
After sitting down, Bai Qi suddenly remembered the electronic sound just now, and his heart moved, and the information that suddenly appeared in his mind clearly emerged.
He followed the description in the message, concentrated, gently called in his heart, tried several times, and finally succeeded, in a faint, translucent light and shadow mask.
In the upper left corner of this panel is a vivid head, which is the image of Bai Qi above the chest at this time.
There is a string of instructions behind this avatar.

Below the People bar is the taskbar.
To Bai Qi's surprise, there was more than one task in the taskbar.
Base Mission, "Afterglow of Doom": Survive for 100 days in this world overrun by the Angel Virus.
Normal Mission, "Survival Positive": Kill 30 infected (8/30).
Advanced Mission, "Valor": Kill 10 infected with Cold Weapons (2/10). (Note: Advanced Quest Courage is activated by killing an infected person with a cold weapon.) οΌ
Below the taskbar is the Rewards section.
In the bonus section there is a floating white card.
Bai Qi looked at the light and shadow panel on this film in amazement.
He glanced up at Qin Qing again, she was anxiously staying by his side, looking at the direction of the car wash from time to time, anxious why Feng Yan hadn't brought the first aid kit yet, and it seemed that he couldn't see the strange light curtain that appeared clearly in his sight.
After a moment's pause, Bai Qi calmed down, carefully read the information that appeared in his mind out of thin air, and tried to query the things in the character panel according to the query method in the information.
He first focused on the "Digital Body Protection Mode" that he couldn't figure out, and after a few attempts, a green box appeared above the line with a large text description.
Digital Body Protection Mode: The Babel system will establish a digital body model of each soldier to monitor the soldier's physical condition in real time. When a soldier suffers an injury that impairs the body function, the system will temporarily take over the damaged part of the body function through the digital body model, so that the soldier can still maintain a certain combat effectiveness in the case of injury, so as to achieve the purpose of protecting the soldier, but the digital protection mode will not reduce the injury suffered by the soldier, nor will it have any beneficial improvement in the soldier's injury, and the injured soldier will still die if he does not receive timely treatment.
Seeing this, Bai Qi immediately understood that Liu Yunxi's throat was bitten through by the infected person, and he was still able to survive, it seemed that it was not just the reason for the powerful body transformed by the angel virus.
Then he looked up a few other columns.
Body number jΓΉ assessment: the comprehensive number of the soldier's body number after monitoring and evaluation. (Note: The average of these five items is 5 for the average person.) οΌ
Vital assessment: The system will monitor the soldier's body in real time, evaluate the soldier's vital condition, and use a quantitative form to form a table on the soldier's character panel.
Energy mode: This column will be activated when the soldier stimulates his physical potential and produces high-level energy, and the system will monitor the soldier's physical condition in real time, and the soldier's body energy will be quantified on the character panel.
He finally looked up the strange white card in the rewards column.
Bonus Cards for High-Quality Kills: The system evaluates every kill of a Soldier, and when the kill process is rated as C (Good) or above, there is a certain chance that a reward card will be generated in the Recruit's Character Panel Rewards section. (Note: How to use the card, after returning to the barracks, redeem the corresponding rewards in the Hall of Glory.) οΌγ
