Chapter 012: Madness and Cowardice

Hundreds of square meters of factory buildings, white mist lingers.

Rusty machines were scattered throughout the plant, the floor dripping with a viscous green pungent liquid and dried, dark red blood.

In the corner of the factory, more than a dozen people were huddled together, their expressions were terrified, holding sticks that they didn't know where to pick up, looking ahead tremblingly.

A monster that clearly shouldn't exist in the real world was staring at these people at this time.

The monster has the shape of a giant worm, the thickness of a bucket, four or five meters long, the mouthparts in front of it are cracked, the mouth is full of sharp teeth, and the viscous saliva pulls the silk from the mouthparts, and when it falls to the ground, it immediately "stabs" and raises a large cloud of dark green mist, which is obviously extremely corrosive.

It seems that the giant worm is feeding the people trapped here, and is constantly approaching, ready to feast on it - the blood on the ground may be the same as the previous victims.

Li He and Bai Jiayue did not hesitate in this regard, and quickly reached a consensus.

"Save people." Li He said, after all, this was one of his tasks, and his telekinesis began to condense.

"Okay." Bai Jiayue responded, took off the package she had been carrying, and quickly opened it, revealing a Tang knife inside.

The whole knife is pitch black, and the scabbard and handle have raised demon patterns, which looks very vicious, and there is a great contrast with the delicate temperament of Bai Jiayue.

Bai Jiayue held the hilt of the knife, drew the blade, and looked at the giant worm with her eyes, as if she was looking at a dead thing.

Li He's mental power was condensed and burst out.

The giant worm was biting at a man in the corner, ready to devour, but was hit by telekinesis accuracy, and his whole body trembled and fell to the ground.

"Hiss~~"

The giant worm let out some angry cries and struggled to its feet, trying to retaliate.

At this moment, Bai Jiayue stepped on the ground with one foot, and she was dressed in white and flew up as lightly as a snow dove, her hair spread out in mid-air, and a strand of red hair was like a beating flame.

Quickly approaching the giant worm, Bai Jiayue held the pitch-black Tang knife and unceremoniously stabbed towards the giant worm's body, and with a "poof", the entire handle of the knife sank, and a large stream of corrosive liquid spewed out.

Leaning over to dodge the liquid, Bai Jiayue drew her knife and stabbed again, "puff, puff", adding seven or eight wounds to the giant worm's body in just a moment.

The giant worm writhed in pain, swinging its tail and striking at Bai Jiayue, only to slap on a wall of air the next moment.

Li He pressed forward with one hand, and his mental power was condensed, helping Bai Jiayue resist the attack. Then, with a wave of his hand, his telekinesis blasted out violently, knocking the giant worm into the air and slamming it on the wall, shaking the entire factory building.

The giant worm slid from the wall to the ground, and tried to fight the trapped beast, Bai Jiayue snorted coldly, flew to the side of the giant worm, grabbed the Tang knife with both hands, and slashed out.

"Sting!"

An extremely deep wound appeared on the body of the giant worm.

"Poofโ€”"

Li He stretched out his hand, and with the release of his telekinesis, he blasted into the depths of the wound, making the wound tear even more exaggerated, and he could almost see the internal organs, and a large amount of brown liquid gushed out, corroding a large area of the ground.

"Hiss~~hiss~~"

The giant worm was hit hard, screaming again and again, realizing that it was not Li He and Bai Jiayue's opponent, and the next moment its mouthparts expanded, a large cloud of viscous corrosive liquid spewed out, trying to do a trapped beast fight.

Li He naturally would not let the other party succeed, his eyes froze, the fingers of his right hand flicked continuously, and his control telekinesis was like a net to quickly wrap the corrosive liquid sprayed by the worm, and accurately stuffed back into the opponent's body, violently exploding.

"Bang!"

"Shh

The giant worm let out a scream like never before, like a sharp fingernail cutting through the eardrums of everyone in the field.

As a trickster, Li He's physical fitness is relatively strong, and his expression has not changed much.

However, most of the ordinary people trapped in the corner showed painful expressions, and some even had blood flowing from their ears.

Bai Jiayue had already jumped to the side of the giant worm and was about to attack, but was affected by the screams and froze.

The next moment, Bai Jiayue's eyes widened a little, her lips were pursed, she held the knife in both hands, raised it high, and slashed it with all her might.

The blade of the knife flashed red, like a dinner knife cutting through butter, and the entire head of the giant worm was chopped off.

The screaming stopped abruptly.

"Boom!"

The giant worm's head hit the ground, making a dull noise, and then it didn't move.

The battle is over, and more than a dozen people trapped in the corner recover from their pain.

One of the middle-aged men with a Chinese character face looked like Li He and Bai Jiayue, and asked tentatively: "You ...... It's here to save us, right? Are you tricksters? โ€

It stands to reason that this should be answered by Bai Jiayue, after all, the other party is an official trickster.

But Li He glanced at Bai Jiayue and found that the other party did not react, just stared at the worm corpse, his face was like frost. He had no choice but to look at the man with the national character, took over the conversation, and said, "Yes, we are the tricksters who came to save you, my name is Li He, and the one next to me is called Bai Jiayue." โ€

As he spoke, Li He's eyes fell on the clothes of the middle-aged man with a Chinese face.

The other party's clothes were very dirty, I didn't know what I had experienced before, they were stained, and some parts were corroded out of holes. But it can still be barely seen that the other party is not wearing ordinary clothes, but the uniforms of the Lincheng Fire Brigade.

Li He remembered what the vigilantes had said to him before entering the forbidden area, and at the beginning of the treacherous incident, it seemed that a team of firefighters arrived at the scene to put out the fire, and then was trapped in the forbidden area.

It seems that the other party is one of them.

"You're a firefighter?" Li He asked.

"Hmm." The other party did not deny it, nodded and said, "I am the deputy captain of the Ninth Fire Brigade in the north of Lincheng City, Zhang Ke." โ€

"Captain Zhang Ke, what about the rest of your fire brigade?"

"The rest?" Zhang Ke smiled bitterly and said, "Lost, all lost."

We received an alarm that there was a fire inside the factory, and we immediately rushed to help. After arriving at the scene, the rest of the people set up firefighting equipment, and I ran to organize the evacuation. As a result, as soon as they ran a certain distance, a white mist appeared and enveloped everything, and they could no longer be found.

I tried to explore for a long time, but to no avail, I had to give up. But I was lucky enough to meet these people around me.

To be on the safe side, we gathered together and hid in this factory until rescue. Before I could think of it, a big white bug came in and ate two people in an instant.

If you hadn't come quickly, I'm afraid we wouldn't have anyone left. โ€

Saying this, Zhang Ke looked at the corpse of the white worm, his eyes with indescribable disgust and resentment.

Alas...... Li He sighed in his heart, did not continue to discuss this topic with the other party, and asked about the rest of the things.

After a moment, the conversation ended after an exchange of certain important clues that the other party could not provide.

Considering that it was not safe outside, Li He thought about it and asked the other party and his group to continue hiding in this vicinity. However, the current factory building will definitely not be able to stay, and in the battle, the factory building has been severely damaged and will collapse at any time.

At Li He's suggestion, Zhang Ke and his party prepared to move to the factory next door, and walked outside very cooperatively.

Walking to the door, firefighter Zhang Ke stopped, thought of something, and said with some hesitation: "Mr. Li He, if you can, I want to trouble you with something." โ€

"Please."

"The other members of my fire brigade who were separated don't know what happened now, if ...... I mean, if you happen to meet them, if they're in danger, I hope you'll help them as you did.

Maybe they're not as good as a trickster like you, but...... After all, they have done a lot for the city, and they shouldn't just die here, it's not worth it. What do you say? โ€

"Good. If I could touch them, if they were in danger, I would have shot. Li He nodded and agreed.

"Thank you!" Zhang Ke bowed deeply and led the group to disappear outside the door.

Seeing the other party leave, Li He turned his head to look at Bai Jiayue and said loudly, "Let's go too." โ€

"Uh...... Can you wait? Bai Jiayue said.

"How?"

"I ...... Now my legs are a little weak and I can't walk. โ€

"Huh?"

"I was scared when that big bug was so loud just now."
