Chapter 51: Ambush
Greed is the greatest root of human nature. As the old saying goes: people die for money, and birds die for food. It can be seen that as long as there is a large enough benefit, people can be willing to risk anything for it.
It should be said that each and every one of them is greedy, otherwise they would not have taken a huge risk to explore the Mixed Metaverse. So Han Yang's choice is understandable, everyone put their heads on their belts, isn't it just for money? Now a large fortune is sitting there waiting to be picked up, this temptation is enough to make them forget any danger. Moreover, the current situation is not so dangerous in their eyes.
But for a team, this way of thinking is a harbinger of infighting. If someone in his own team dared to go against his decision so openly before, the wild wolf would kill him without saying a word. But at this moment and that time, looking at his severed arm wolf, he was really a little disheartened, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
Shen Mu's expression was somewhat embarrassed. He has always played the role of the actual captain along the way, and being refuted in person at this time is undoubtedly a provocation to his prestige. Or to put it more bluntly, he was not strong enough to convince the public. After all, he was only a first-order priest, the lowest rank of all people. If it weren't for his knowledge of the ruins of Raccoon City, it would not have been his turn to call the shots.
Shen Muzhi is also self-aware of this, and he is not annoyed or angry after being provoked. Anyway, he didn't think of himself as a captain, and he didn't plan to team up with these people. Everyone met in the water, and after leaving here, they went their own way. If you are willing to listen to him, everyone will cooperate well. I don't want to, and I don't force it. Just like at the beginning, except for returning the favor of the moon, he didn't plan to save anyone.
"Okay, since some of you want to go in, let's separate here! I'll take the people first, and you will follow behind. Shen Mu didn't force it at all, and directly beckoned the wild wolf to turn around and leave.
Liu Wen naturally followed the wild wolf. After hesitating a few more times, Yueqing decided to follow Shen Mu. Perhaps it was out of a woman's intuition, she still felt that Shen Mu was more trustworthy than Han Yang.
Han Fei had already invested too much, and he had decided that he would at least get his money back. Unexpectedly, Wan Hai did not follow the wild wolf this time, but stood on Han Yang's side. It's understandable when you think about it. In the past, he followed the wolf team, but now that the wolf has broken an arm, even if he can go back safely this time, it is impossible to form a team like before, and he must think about it for himself.
The team, which had previously said that they would unite as one, fell apart into two groups in an instant in the face of simple temptation. This is where the disadvantage of this kind of wild team lies.
Shen Mu and the four of them accelerated their progress according to the original plan. Han Yang and the three of them hurriedly ran into the antique shop. However, less than half a minute after they entered, they heard a loud bang, and the second floor of the antique shop was knocked out of a hole, and they saw Wanhaikou spurting blood, flying directly out of the knock and falling heavily on the street.
Shen Mu and the others didn't go far, and when they heard the sound, they hurriedly turned their heads to look, and they were suddenly frightened. I saw that Han Fei and Han Yang were running out of the antique shop in horror, and behind them, four lickers jumped out of the antique shop one after another, immediately surrounding them.
If the four lickers want to kill the three of them, it is simply a matter of minutes, and they don't even have a chance to run.
"Let you be greedy!" Shen Mu gritted his teeth with hatred, but he had no choice but to return to save people. It's not that his Virgin's heart attacks, but that his lips and teeth are cold. Save them, and the seven of them will have a chance to escape. If the three of them die first, the remaining four of them will definitely not be able to run.
"Run this way, kill one first!" Shen Mu shouted loudly as he pulled out his shotgun, trying to attract the attention of the lickers and give them a chance to escape.
The lickers were attracted by the sound, and sure enough, they all turned their heads to look this way. After two of them screamed, they immediately turned around and rushed at Shen Mu and them, one left and one right, outflanking them separately, and they even knew how to cooperate.
If they had to face four lickers at the same time, Shen Mu and them couldn't be opponents. But if you break them down one by one, it's not necessarily impossible to kill one or two first.
The wild wolf had a broken hand, but he was still a fourth-order monster hunter, the highest combat power among these people, and the only one who could single-handedly lick the predator. I saw him take off the longbow behind his back in the hurry, hold the bow in one hand, and open the string with his mouth, the magic element condensed into a pale green arrow, and shuttled like lightning, and the arrow pierced directly through the chest of a licker.
The arrow was extremely destructive, and the arrow exploded directly after hitting, and the bursting magical element blasted a hole the size of a basketball in the licker's chest. And the pale green flame adheres to the wound, and the strong magical burn effect prevents the body's ability to heal itself.
It's a pity that the wolf is missing an arm, and the arrow failed to hit the vital point of the head. Otherwise, this arrow can directly kill this licker.
According to Shen Mu's inference, the combat power of the licker was probably around the fourth order. However, due to the lack of magical defense ability, magic skills of the third order or so can cause fatal damage to it.
So it's not a big problem for a wolf to contain or kill a licker on its own. Their problem now is to keep the other one in check.
"Hurry up and run!" Shen Mu yelled at Han Yang and the three of them, and at the same time released a geologic 'mire technique'. The hard ground instantly turned into a muddy swamp trapping the other licker inside, Yueqing took the opportunity to lock its neck with a water whip, and Liu Wen kept shooting at its head with a short crossbow.
Han Yang and Han Fei took advantage of this opportunity to run away, while the other two lickers chased after them. Seeing that he was about to catch up, Han Yang gritted his teeth and took out a magic scroll and slammed it behind him.
The silver light exploded, and the rich magical elements converged into dozens of lightning bolts to form a power grid that entangled a licker inside. This grid has an extremely high voltage, not only the ability to bind, but also extremely high magical damage, and the licker is scorched and convulsed by the electricity.
The last of the remaining lickers, perhaps in the instinct of a predator, immediately gave up on their two seemingly difficult prey, and turned to pounce on the injured Wan Hai.
Wan Hai broke two ribs in a sneak attack before, and then was knocked down from the upstairs and fell dizzy. At this moment, he had just gotten up, but he was thrown to the ground by the licker, and he bit down on his head with a thick bloody mouth.
"Help me!" As death approached, Mankai burst out with the strength of his whole body and roared anxiously, setting up his axe to block the licker's large mouth full of sharp teeth. But he blocked the licker's bite for a while, but he couldn't stop the licker's claws, and the huge sharp claws easily scratched several deep blood marks on his chest.
Shen Mu originally wanted to save him, but when he saw the blood marks on his body, he knew that he was not saved. The licker also carries the T virus, and after being scratched, it is basically equivalent to a death sentence, and in the end it is either eaten or turned into a zombie.
"I'm sorry!" Shen Mu mourned silently in his heart, and then immediately turned around and ran. Although I had expected that there might be a reduction in staff, I didn't expect it to be so soon, and the first one would be Wanhai.
