Chapter 8: Embattled

Fan felt like his bones had been broken, as if someone was using a hammer to pull at him. Although the pain was excruciating, he still endured the pain and got up from the ground because of fear, but there was no one in front of him.

Ni Ziqiong below turned around and found that Fan Li's was gone, so she was so frightened that she ran up in three steps and two steps, and saw Fan Li's shoulders standing against the wall, and immediately realized that something was wrong.

"What's wrong?" Ni Ziqiong stared around, and at this time, Ali and Jiao Yang also caught up from the first floor. Jiao Yang spewed a burst of fire at the exit, forcing all the monsters that wanted to rush up to retreat.

"I was hit hard when I first came up, but I didn't see the shadow of the other party, I guessed that it might be Chu Xingfeng, but why did he choose to escape, he obviously had a chance to kill me." Fan replied.

"He's just a stupid guy who likes to complain about the computer all day long, how can he have the courage to kill you, I think he's very scared." Ni Ziqiong looked around, there was an empty place, there was no water, there was no compartment, the field of vision was very wide, it was not wise to want to sneak attack here, but when I thought about it, Chu Xingfeng was not a wise person.

There was a burst of gunfire next to it, it sounded like a short-range submachine gun, similar to the one in Ali's hand, and it was probably Ye Yuning's masterpiece.

"Report the situation!" Ni Ziqiong asked as she looked up at the stairs leading to the third floor.

There was a noise on the radio, and to Ni Ziqiong's surprise, no one answered. She stared at the staircase for a moment and hesitated, how could those soldiers who were all "ant nests" be wiped out by a few stinky fish and rotten shrimp.

"Report the situation!" Ni Ziqiong shouted again.

Ah Li and Jiao Yang stood beside Ni Ziqiong on the left and right, and Fan Li followed behind them. Fan Li only felt a buzzing in his ears, and it seemed that there were many living dead people on it.

"Be careful, there's a lot of it on it." Fan Li whispered a warning to Ni Ziqiong.

"Are there so many? A few living dead people with no IQ can't communicate normally in the army? A wave of anger drifted into Ni Ziqiong's heart, she threw her pistol aside, drew out the two Nepalese sabers behind her back and strode towards the third floor, as if completely ignoring the dangers around her.

"Ni Ziqiong, be careful!" Seeing Ni Ziqiong so reckless. Fan Li was in a hurry, he wanted to hold her, but her speed was too fast, and Fan Li had no chance to catch up with her.

As soon as Ni Ziqiong stepped on the third floor, he immediately made a sound of fighting, and a stream of blood rushed down the stairs and splashed at Ah Li's feet, frightening him to grab Jiao Yang and take two steps back.

"Damn, what's the hurry!" Fan Li, holding a shield and a long knife made from the Regent Spirit, also rushed up to the third floor, and with the lesson of the last time, he ran out of the exit. The shield was immediately set up in front of him, but the opponent did not attack for a long time.

It was quiet, and he saw a severed arm moving on the ground, and there was nothing suspicious about it. At this time, Jiao Yang and Ali also walked up, and they were a little surprised to see the scene in front of them.

"Where's the sir?" Jiao Yang held the flamethrower tightly and pointed forward, for fear that something would suddenly appear and catch someone.

"I don't know, Ni Ziqiong ran too fast, I couldn't keep up at all." Fan Li, holding his shield, walked slowly forward. This third layer is completely different from the second layer, and the second layer can be described as empty. On the third floor, there are many more suites.

They cautiously walked forward, and the corpses of monsters began to appear in front of them, each mutilated. Fan Li didn't expect Ni Ziqiong to be more powerful than he imagined. When she was fighting against the scorched corpse in the lost city, she did not show such strength.

"Speed up, otherwise you won't be able to catch up with Chief Ni Ziqiong." Jiao Yang's voice came.

"Okay, everybody keep an eye on what's going on around you." Fan replied.

He combined his shield into a crossbow bolt. Walk briskly ahead. The noise of whispers and gunfire suddenly disappeared, and it was as if they had gone to another dimension, and what was happening around them was completely different from what had happened before.

They quickly reached the staircase that led to the fourth floor. It's still quiet up there. Fan Li wanted to poke his head out, but Jiao Yang pulled his shoulder, making him feel pain for a while.

"I'll do it!" After Jiao Yang finished speaking, he walked in front of Fan Li, holding N-2014 and walked up, nothing happened, only to hear her cry of surprise.

Fan Li and Ali followed, and the scene in front of them made Fan Li feel a chill rush to his heart. The fourth floor is still a suite building, and the soldiers of the "ant nest" are lying on the ground, and there are many bullet holes in the surrounding walls, but no monster corpses have been found.

"Either the throat was scratched, or the entire neck was bitten off, it seems that the attack of this group of monsters is very similar to that of wild beasts, straight to the throat." Jiao Yang said while kneeling beside a corpse.

"It seems that this group of people seems to have been ambushed, Ni Ziqiong must have seen this scene before, and she will understand why there is no sound on the radio." Fan Li was worried about Ni Ziqiong's safety, and even this "ant nest" detachment was hit by the extermination, and he was really worried that she would make a mistake.

"Jiao Yang! Be careful! Ali behind him suddenly screamed, Jiao Yang didn't have time to react, only to see the soldier who fell beside her suddenly raised his hands and rushed towards her, because he was half-kneeling, Jiao Yang's center of gravity was unstable and he was thrown to the ground.

Fan raised and kicked the soldier in the back, but the soldier was too heavy to move. Hearing Jiao Yang's screams below, Fan Li was also anxious, grabbed the soldier's body and dragged him aside with Ali, and casually conjured a spear to nail him to the wall.

"Jiao Yang!" Ali ran to Jiao Yang's side, and there was blood on her neck.

"No, it hurt an artery!" Ali looked up at Fan Li. "We have to leave!"

Ali took out a bandage to Jiao Yang for a simple bandage, and Fan Li was patrolling beside him with a crossbow gun, when a crisp and bright noise suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Not good!" Fan Li's shout at Ali, he saw a black shadow rushing to Ali's side, shooting crossbow arrows at the thing, but he didn't expect the thing to rush to Ali's side with a burst of shouting, and a knife resulted in a living dead who wanted to sneak up on him.

"You're sick!" Fan Li saw a fiery red, Ni Ziqiong turned her head and scolded Fan Li.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Fan Li rushed up and wanted to pull out the arrow inserted in Ni Ziqiong's shoulder, but she didn't expect her to throw a saber at herself, and the saber flew across his cheek and flew to the back, he only felt that his cheeks were hot, and he heard a muffled sound behind him.

"Let's go! This place is not to stay for long! Ni Ziqiong shouted at Fan Li and Ali, and Ali picked up Jiao Yang. Fan Li looked back at the soldier who had been killed by Ni Ziqiong.

"What the hell is going on with these people!" Fan Li asked after Ni Ziqiong.

"We underestimated the strength of the other party, not only Chu Xingfeng alone, but there may be something even more powerful, this group of living dead people turned by soldiers or residents, they still retain a trace of consciousness, that is, there is an impulse! There's no time to explain, so let's go before those soldiers wake up! ”

Chu Xingfeng did not appear, Fan Li and Ali who was holding Jiao Yang followed Ni Ziqiong all the way out of the unfinished building, and Ali stuffed Jiao Yang into the back seat. Ni Ziqiong jumped into the driver's seat and picked up the pager in front of her.

"Call the 'Ant Nest' headquarters, I am Ni Ziqiong, the former military adviser and deputy commander of the 'Ant Nest', and request to lock up the western suburbs of Xicheng and bomb them."

"You're crazy!" Fan Li sat in the co-pilot and snatched the pager in Ni Ziqiong's hand. "How do you know there must be no residents around?"

"Our soldiers are dead, do you want the living dead to escape? I don't know what they did, but what I do know is that we'll find out why. Xicheng is the next maze! ”

Hearing the word "Lost City", Fan Li's hand let go of the pager like an electric shock, and the word "Lost City" spoke to his heart, and he really didn't want the Lost City incident to happen again. He had already secretly sworn that if similar incidents happened again, he would do his best to prevent such a tragedy from happening.

"That'...... What about the residents? ”

"Their sacrifice was worth it." Ni Ziqiong stepped on the accelerator and drove in the direction of the outside of the city. The plane of the "ant nest" came quickly, and it should have been Ni Ziqiong who had called the relevant departments before. Ni Ziqiong, like Pan Mingyue, is a smart person who never goes on a mission if she doesn't plan carefully, and she should have planned to sacrifice a certain part of the residents of Xicheng to achieve the purpose of salvation when she came.

Immediately behind him, a dazzling fire flared. The shockwave pushed the surrounding rubble and dust towards the perimeter, smashing the glass behind it.

Fan Li looked back at the flames rising behind him, thinking of the charred corpses he had seen in the Lost City. Under such an attack, it is difficult for Chu Xingfeng and his miscellaneous people to survive, and the "ant nest" only needs to create an explosion accident to cover up the facts, just like the Lost City incident, it will not be long before people will continue to live an ordinary life, and no one can imagine that the Grim Reaper will pass by all of them on this day.

Fan Li looked back at Ali who was pressing Jiao Yang's wound, Jiao Yang's face was pale, and the excessive blood loss made her almost unconscious, she gritted her teeth, opened her eyes wide to prevent herself from falling asleep, and reasoned to tell Fan Li that if she didn't find the hospital as soon as possible, she would die.

"I know what you're trying to say." Fan Li turned to Ni Ziqiong, but she spoke first. "I know a guy who lives in the suburbs near Westside, his name is Brad, he was a member of the Old Apocalypse Knights, he is a doctor, he can help us."

"But Jiao Yang couldn't last long." Ali said, with a hint of pleading in his voice.

Ni Ziqiong glanced back at Jiao Yang, who was close to collapse, and turned her head to continue driving.

"Where are you from, chick?" Ni Ziqiong asked.

"Sichuan ......," Jiao Yang replied with difficulty.

"Are you afraid of death? I see that you are holding the Dark Night series of jets developed by Ye Yuning, soldiers who use this thing have a certain risk, if you are not a skilled soldier who is not qualified to touch this thing at all, it seems that you are an excellent soldier. ”

"I ...... Not afraid of death...... I'm just afraid ......"

"Jiao Yang, don't say it, I'll be in the hospital soon." Fan Li interrupted Jiao Yang's words, he looked at Ni Ziqiong, her face only had appreciation, no sympathy for Jiao Yang. He suddenly thought of the conversation with Wu Meiyan on the eve of the war a long time ago, at that time, Wu Meiyan was used to death, she had experienced death countless times, and she had regarded death as a form of honor, could it be that Ni Ziqiong was the same? For her, Jiao Yang is already a dead person, and she only wants to remember her as a person.

Fan Li's head twisted to the side and looked at the scenery outside the car window, feeling very uncomfortable, and he began to sympathize with every soldier in the "ant nest", everyone who fought for the protection of the principle. (To be continued......)
