Section 5: The Trial of Fate

It is said that in the ears of those who have just heard a realistic ghost story, even a falling water glass can make him far more vigilant than usual. Because people's ability to associate will always progress in such strange places, and ghost stories are more reliable than safety rules in many cases.

After all, the greatest fear of human beings always comes from the unknown - and among the unknowns, what is half-understood, but has a definite threat, brings the heaviest fear.

Jiang Yu brought them a half-understanding, awakening the vigilance in their hearts, as well as a slight fear that had not yet risen to the surface of their emotions - when the sound of falling metal reached the ears of several people, Matt's face suddenly turned pale, and the two mercenaries immediately raised their weapons.

"Yes...... It's the one! Sound, it's sensitive to sound! Jiang Yu's voice trembled - not a disguise, because he was really scared when it came to the end. The potion box that had been made into a backpack had been kept at his feet early on instead of being carried on his body. And he jerked to his feet, his hands and feet visibly stiff.

Mental preparation is one thing, but physical preparation is another. There are many people who have the opportunity to dodge when the car accident comes, but because their bodies are not adapted to the critical environment, they stiffen on the spot, so that they are taken away by a wave of big cars and small cars like puppets.

The mercenaries turn on their weapon safes, and both of them invariably choose a powerful assault rifle instead of the small pistol that strikes the corpse tide in the story. The male J.D. took the first step forward to take the responsibility of reconnaissance, but when he took a step, Jiang Yu, who was trying to control his body, was a little faster than him.

"I ...... Go ahead, you're staring at me...... Beware of sneak attacks. ”

Jiang Yu gritted his teeth, this decision seemed risky, but it was actually the safest to take the initiative. Because he knows the intelligence of the licker, and knows that this biological weapon has a certain intelligence, at least it can distinguish between the bait and the threat target.

(This licker has just come out of the freezer...... It certainly doesn't move fast enough. My goal is to expose its flaws, and then let the mercenaries take care of it. )

He didn't give J.D a chance to refute, and strode forward with his back to the mercenaries. And the two mercenaries glanced at each other, looking at Jiang Yu a bit like looking at a fool, but they also lost their original vigilance, and they had a little more respect.

Wren silently pinched a small cylinder in his hand, and J.D followed Jiang Yu's footsteps. Matt walked slowly to the wall and stood in an open area with a good view. And Jiang Yu was getting closer and closer to the place where the voice came from.

(I was right!) I have to do it! I'm going to do something that looks risky and bloody to ordinary people, and the information I remember can't go wrong! )

The heart is pounding, and in the game of Resident Evil, the licker's hearing is not enough to capture the heartbeat of a human but it does in the setting of the movie. Because of this, Jiang Yu gave up the plan to lurk in the pit, and chose to take the risk of gambling on the intelligence of the licker's setting.

(I'm right...... The first target is definitely not me! I'm going to do it, I'm not going to die here. )

Adrenaline was being secreted, and only he knew why he was so vigilant. He felt his temples throbbing, and the closer he got to the source of the sound, the more complex emotions welled up in his heart.

He wanted to run away, he wanted to scream, he wanted to sit on the ground and wait for his fate, he wanted to close his eyes and wait for someone else to come and save him.

He was regretting, regretting why he didn't go to the laser tunnel and came here to gamble on an uncertain fate. regretted that he didn't hug Zhang Jie's thigh at the beginning, and regretted that he tested the behavior of the positive person, instead of honestly playing Li Xiaoyi.

He has a lot of emotions and is very mixed.

However, his feet are still moving forward.

(Fuck, I'm definitely crazy.) )

And the next moment, a hollow container with the package opened appeared in the eyes of him and J.D behind him!

"!" It was J.D, not him, who was swearing. The next moment, the young mercenary pressed the miniature microphone hanging next to his ear, as a qualified mercenary group, he would naturally warn the other teammates at the first time.

He shouldn't have done it right away – because it was a flaw.

And the next moment, from the back came the exclamation of Ren, and the sound of firing.

“J.D!”

A flesh-red lion-sized creature swooped down. J.D, on the other hand, didn't even think about it, and made a quick roll towards the front - the huge, air-conditioned figure just brushed his shoulders and slammed into the ground!

Lickers.

A licker who is not very agile, but has sharp claws and great strength. Jiang Yu had come into contact with it for the first time in a real-world environment, and the moment he saw it, he only felt his hands and feet tingle.

Hideous maws, blood-red muscles, sharp claws—and the sheer power that could crush itself like potato chips at any moment. All of this came together, and he finally understood how great those warriors who dared to face life and death were.

Between life and death, there is great terror.

Time seems to have slowed down - it's not the peak of mental power, it's not the plug-in like opening the gene lock. It is simply a young man who thinks he is not afraid of death but is actually far from being as brave as he imagined, and when death is imminent, the brain tries its best to save itself, which brings about a high degree of mental concentration.

He saw the muscles of the licker's upper body squirming 'slowly', and saw the 'gradually widening' jaw, and the huge tongue in the mouth ready to attack.

The passage of time is slowed down by the high concentration that comes with the fear of death.

At this moment, he knew the subsequent changes that the blood-red monster in front of him would bring.

(It's gaining momentum...... It's going to squirt out its tongue! Is it me? No...... This location is not ...... It has no vision, and locking on to a target won't change easily! )

(It's J.D., it's going to grab him with its tongue, go through, and then use its strength to pounce on him and bite it down!) )

The picture of J.D's head separating seemed to appear in front of him, and Jiang Yu's heart relaxed. Because he found that he could still live, and he was not the main target of this attack.

The next moment, however, laxity turned to anger. A thunderous sound echoed in his brain.

(I used him to help me block the gun, and now I'm still watching him die!?) )

(How could I be so despicable!?) )

Anger turns into a flowing fire, burning the nerves of the self-ashamed. All calculations, plans, self-justifications, were transformed into power under the ablation of this flame.

The power to take action.

And the next moment, the hand used to protect himself had already turned into a throwing appearance, and a mass of mass was thrown in the direction of the monster's head at this moment.

It's a mobile phone.

A college student who loves to read novels will never let it get out of the mobile phone next to him.

It ignites in sync with the licker's tongue, but it is one step ahead of the other and reaches its respective goal.

"Hey!" The roar of lightning and fire can only be expressed in such a simple byte. And the sharp tongue was about to pierce J.D., who had not yet stood up, and the latter's eyes showed the fear of death, and the thrown mobile phone slammed into the side of the licker's head.

'Bang dang—'

The snap of his tongue stabbed the iron plate, and the blow that should have hit J.D. in the neck was struck by a slight tilt of the licker's head to another freezer on the side. And the next moment, the licker who withdrew his tongue pointed the target of the attack in the direction where Jiang Yu, who was in the way.

The sequelae of the outbreak of power have arrived, and Jiang Yu at this moment is already powerless to avoid it. He could only watch the licker's muscles contract and exert force, and his next fate was to turn into shattered scum.

I'm going to die.

Jiang Yu once thought that he would have a lot of thoughts before he died. They will recall their own lives, and they will regret or make honest comments about everything in their past.

However, when death came. He found that his mind was just a blank slate, with no last words at all and no special thoughts.

The only thing he had time to do was close his eyes.

'Hum——!!! ’

It is correct to close your eyes, because the impact of the sound waves arrives immediately. His ears immediately rang and his whole brain and mind were just booming.

Shock grenades.

The special operations bomb that Wren held in his hand before the action. She listened to Jiang Yu's words and did it even better - lickers with too keen hearing were naturally more likely to be traumatized by sound waves. And perhaps it was Jiang Yu's act of throwing out the mobile phone that reminded her that this shock bomb also exploded on the top of the licker's head.

'Da Da Da-'

'Woo Woo T

Knocked to the ground by a stun bullet, the licker rolled incompetently like a dehydrated fish, and obtained two empty rifle magazines.

And when Jiang Yu rubbed his eyes and regained consciousness, he only saw a lump of flesh and blood, trembling and twitching on the ground not far away. And at the same time, a hand held his palm.

"Can you stand up?" J.D's voice.

Jiang Yu tried, and then the hand lifted him. His vision gradually became clearer, and he and the owner of the hand met each other, whose eyes were full of fear and gratitude.

"Dude, I owe you once." J.D slapped him the shoulder.

Then he didn't shy away from suspicion, and right in front of him, he connected to the mercenary's internal communication channel.

"Captain, this is J.D, we have some situations, big situations......"

He reports to Matthew Addison, who is still alive.

And Jiang Yu didn't care about him at all at this moment-because at this moment, a ball of light that he thought only Zheng Zha would encounter also appeared in front of his eyes. And when he subconsciously touched it, the announcement of the main god also sounded in his ears.
