Chapter 13: The Road to Survival: The Hunter Smoke Man
The four of them packed up their mood and set off again. Due to Nao's change of weapon, they now have a triple submachine gun and a shotgun, and their close-range firepower has been reduced considerably, which means that they have to travel at a slightly lower speed than originally planned.
Except for Nao, Lu Yu and the other three had all played this game before, including some of its more popular expansion packs, but as they progressed, they found that this map was different from any of the maps they had played, but there were subtle similarities. They could only rely on luck and a little vague intuition to grope their way forward, and although they encountered many infected people during the process, and also caused a small shock for a while, they were all in danger under the gradual calm shooting of everyone.
Seth was undoubtedly the most reliable point in the team, with the Uzi submachine gun in hand, he shot accurately, and instead of blindly using bursts, he mainly fired in three bursts, which not only took into account sufficient firepower and stability, but also made every round useful.
Nao is inferior to Zhu Xiaowen, but he is also quite powerful. Nao, this cool female OL, picked up the gun and was as calm as she felt, although it could be seen that she was not good at using a gun, and the crosshair was seriously offset when hitting long-distance targets, but she simply boldly put the infected person closer to her and then hit, and the shooting was mainly point shooting, although the killing was somewhat insufficient, but the overall hit rate was quite high.
"Look, I knew I was going to get closer before fighting, you might as well take a shotgun from the beginning!" Lu Yu secretly complained.
And Zhu Xiaowen's side, after experiencing the initial misshooting incident and Lu Yu's teaching, has gradually calmed down now. Although sometimes he can't help but shoot when he is frightened by the sudden appearance of an infected person, and he wastes a lot of bullets, but the more he goes to the back, the better his performance is, and the system's evaluation of his long-range E is not for no reason, Zhu Xiaowen's hit rate on long-distance targets when he is emotionally stable is the highest among all the staff, Lu Yu is even considering whether to let him take a sniper rifle as a sniper in the back - although in the setting of this game, the role of the sniper has been greatly weakened, but there are strong points in the team that are not easy to use, Lu Yu always had to feel uncomfortable.
As for Lu Yu himself, he was taking on the heavy responsibility of opening the way at this time. Despite his lack of marksmanship, his shotgun has the heaviest firepower at close range, so if an infected lurks around a corner or behind a door, he is the only one who can knock them away without taking any damage at the first sight. Moreover, Lu Yu's calmness at the critical moment had already been recognized by everyone when he just opened the door, and he was relieved to hand over the space in front of him.
The protection of Nao and Zhu Xiaowen's wings is just the icing on the cake, and he and Seth are the most reliable guarantees for the entire team in the process.
However, this combination has not really been tested so far. The most dangerous special infected have not yet appeared, and the famous assault of the infected in the original game of "The Road to Survival" does not know when it will suddenly appear. Therefore, although it seemed that things were going well, several of them tensed their nerves and did not dare to relax in the slightest.
"Did you hear that?" Zhu Xiaowen, who was walking on the right, suddenly stopped. As soon as he reminded them, the other three stood vigilantly.
"It's Hunter." Seth said calmly, clenching the gun in his hand.
A type of Hunter that is a special infected, characterized by hooded clothing. It is the fastest and most mobile of all the special infected. The Hunter makes a unique and eerie cry while crawling, can perform long-range pounces, and can even perform triangular jumps through walls and ceilings. All they heard was the distant cry of a Hunter. But even knowing it was approaching, Hunter's full mobility made it difficult to catch, and the four of them had to cautiously guard back to back before it came into view. Hunter was still screaming from time to time, listening to the sound and running quite disjointed.
"It seems to be on my side......" Zhu Xiaowen said tremblingly. Lu Yu "shh Just then, Hunter let out another cry, this time the distance to hear the sound was quite close, and it seemed to be in the ......
"Upper!" Lu Yu shouted, and raised his gun upwards sharply. Just as he saw the figure in the gray-blue hooded garment, Hunter let out a loud cry and flew down from the ceiling. The target of this pounce was not aimed at Lu Yu, who was closest to him, but flew towards Naou, who was a few steps away.
Nao is a woman after all, and she will inevitably be frightened when she sees this kind of flying monster. The fright slowed her movements, which had always been composure, a little, and just as she was about to pull the trigger, Hunter pounced on her and threw her to the ground. As with the game's premise, when Hunter pounces on the player, the other players are knocked away by his massive impact. Seth had already taken a step to the rescue, but was pushed back a few steps by the impact.
And Naou, who was pounced on head-on, was even more uncomfortable, her body slammed to the ground, a rush of qi and blood rolled in her chest, and a glance at the survival groove on the side of her eye was about one-fifth of it in an instant, and the color had changed to a slightly dangerous yellow.
"Damn!"
Seeing Hunter swing his claws and continue to attack Nao, Zhu Xiaowen yelled, raised his gun and was about to shoot. But suddenly a hand reached out from the side and lifted the gun from below, so that all the next few bullets hit the ceiling.
"Don't hurt by mistake. I got it. There's Smoker in the back. Lu Yu said the matter concisely and concisely as he rushed forward.
At the moment when Hunter pounced, almost all of the attention of the four of them was attracted by this blow, but Lu Yu's somewhat wary ears caught a cough coming from a distance.
This is one of the characteristics of another special infected person, Smoker. He is always surrounded by a cloud of green smoke, coughs from time to time, is slightly taller, has a tumor on half of his face, and sticks out his tongue to bind and drag survivors. At their level, encountering Smoker while alone is almost certain to die, so at least two people must be on guard.
Both Seth and Zhu Xiaowen have played this game and are quite familiar with Smoker. Hearing Lu Yu's reminder, they turned around and picked up their guns at the same time, carefully catching the coughing sound that might come. With both of them armed with submachine guns, even if Smoker's tongue suddenly appears and drags one of them away, the other can break the tongue in time or even find Smoker along the tongue and shoot him dead. This is something that is not easy to do with a melee weapon like a shotgun.
And against Hunter, you must fight quickly, and you can't give him a chance to make a second maneuver, otherwise it can easily turn into a protracted battle of cat and mouse. In this case, the most suitable tactic is to explode directly with a shotgun after crashing away. Lu Yu is doing exactly what he is doing at this moment.
With a single stroke, his shoulder slammed into Hunter's body, knocking Hunter back a few steps as he was about to swing his claws to attack Nao again. As soon as Lu Yu retracted his feet, he instantly picked up the shotgun, and without aiming, he fired a shot at the front by feeling. Hunter's unique scream sounded in his ears, and Lu Yu's heart was first happy, and then cold.
I was glad to listen to the voice, which obviously hit; The cold thing is that it can still make a sound after screaming, which means that this blow has not completely killed it.
Lu Yu was about to make up for an extra shot, but the slow burst speed of the shotgun dragged him down. The badly injured Hunter obviously didn't want to die in vain, so he jumped up from the ground with both feet, his back against the wall, and the next step was to jump up to the ceiling and escape.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! โ
Three gunshots rang out, and Hunter screamed and slipped off the wall and fell to the ground, apparently dead this time. Lu Yu looked in the direction where the gunshots came from in surprise, only to see that Naou's hair was messy and there were a few blood marks on her chest, looking quite embarrassed. Although she didn't have time to get up and her posture was not suitable for using heavy weapons, she instantly took out her pistol from her backpack and fired three shots in an awkward position, killing Hunter.
"Sister, you're fierce enough!" Lu Yu couldn't help but give a thumbs up. Nao snorted and stood up to tidy up her messy clothes. At this time, her face was still pale, obviously frightened.
"Ahem."
There was a faint sound of coughing behind them, and the two turned around, only to see Zhu Xiaowen holding a submachine gun with a smoking muzzle, obviously just finished shooting, and Seth, who was a few steps away, was embarrassingly tearing off his tongue wrapped in his body, and in the distance was a cloud of smoke, shrouding Seth in it. The coughing sound they had heard just now was made by Seth.
Seeing this scene, those who are familiar with the game don't have to think about it to know what happened. Under the watchful eye of the two men, Smoker still dodged from a corner and attacked. Because Smoker's tongue binding attack was so fast, even Seth, who had the best physical fitness of the four, didn't have time to resist and was dragged away. Fortunately, Zhu Xiaowen did not drop the chain at the critical moment this time, and picked up the gun and fired a few accurate shots to kill Smoker in the distance. But when Smoker dies, a large cloud of smoke will burst out, causing people in range to cough, and this is the last scene Lu Yu saw.
"I'm fine, it seems that no one else has been hurt except for Miss Nao." Seth coughed and said, "I see, Xiaowen, you are a little bit forward, and the three of us will protect Miss Nao and move forward." โ
"Don't bother with you." Nao snorted, picked up the gun and walked straight to the front. Her always calm face was a rare murderous aura at this time, so that the three boys did not dare to dissuade her. It seems that the feeling of being pounced on by Hunter has made her very unhappy until now, and she urgently needs to strafe the enemy hard to vent.
But they didn't think that as soon as they walked around the corner, the four of them heard a familiar "grunt" sound. A fat figure covered with pus flashed in the minds of the three boys at the same time, and Lu Yu, who was closest to Naou, just stretched out his hand to pull Nao back, but only heard Naou scream, followed by the fierce strafing of the submachine gun.
The pop was followed by an explosion. On this side of the corner, the three could only see flying corpse pieces and blood in all directions, and then Nao, who was shocked back a few steps by the corpse explosion.
โBommer๏ผโ Seth and Zhu Xiaowen only shouted the monster's name at this time.
Lu Yu also shouted, but what he shouted was:
"If you really don't die, you won't die!"
