The Nicks of Fate Chapter 16: Playthings (Part II)
Leco rested his right hand on the automatic rifle, leaning sideways and cautiously surveying the world outside the door, which was pitch black, interspersed with a few howls.
The tunnel was so dark that it was almost impossible to see, and only a hint of uneasiness could be felt spreading, and from time to time, there would be a few abrupt sounds, which were the movements of some object moving rapidly on the railroad tracks.
The smell of blood was spreading, and it was a particularly pungent and unpleasant smell. Unlike humans, metamorphosis blood is extremely volatile and irritating.
At this time, less than 50 meters between the maintenance hut and the tracks, there were more than a dozen corpses lying horizontally, and occasionally a few unburned flames, which were caused by exploding grenades.
Everyone's faces were ugly, they couldn't get out, and there were at least hundreds of metamorphoses outside who were dormant in the dark, waiting for a gluttonous feast.
Fortunately, the "safe house" I am looking for can still provide some protection for the time being.
Pat gave Eighteen a simple bandage and treatment, and after injecting the energy agent, Eighteen's shrunken body gradually recovered, and the healing module carried by the nanomachine in a state of failure began to absorb the nutrients injected in, and then dispersed in turn, spreading and wandering around the body, dealing with dark injuries everywhere.
The right arm has been completely comminuted and fractured, the muscles are severely damaged by torsional strain, the blood vessels are broken, and the whole hand is enlarged due to congestion. For this serious injury, the treatment module is helpless, and can only perform simple fixation first, eliminate blood stasis and internal bleeding treatment, but only make the injury no longer worsen rather than completely healed, and this kind of injury can only be treated with a larger and more complex operation in the headquarters hospital.
Eighteen was lying on the bed made of the grocery shelves, he was already in a deep coma, and he couldn't count on it at the moment.
Rumble.....
The roof shook restlessly again, and the dust fell one after another, and the two people below immediately looked vigilant, staring at the ceiling with guns, but fortunately no cracks appeared.
In the sound of Suosuo's footsteps, he could feel that no less than five metamorphoses had gathered above, trying to lift the roof of the house.
Food and water were running out, but they could last a few days, the only concern was that they were running out of ammunition, and they might not even survive the day, although in this underground space, day was no different from night.
"It's good for anyone to come, think of a way, we can't get out at all." Rako turned around to speak, but the next second, his face suddenly darkened, and he subconsciously leaned back, and at the same time shot a long shot into the space outside the door.
A black shadow lurked along the outer wall of the house, and the moment the other party turned back to speak and revealed the flaw, it swept through the air like electricity, and in the mouth of the blood basin was an arthropod organoid with a sharp end, which burst out like electricity, and was only twenty centimeters short of being able to penetrate deep into Reko's soft neck.
However, five blazing bullets completely swept its entire body away!
It was a 30-kilogram arthropod reptile, which was carried away several meters away by the impact of the bullet, and after a few rolls on the ground, almost all of its internal organs had fallen off, and it could still struggle to stand up, shaking and letting out a low roar of deterrence in the direction of the maintenance house, and then the following bullets broke its brain.
Thump! Rako fell heavily on his back, gasping for breath, his face pale, his close-fitting underwear was wet with cold sweat, and when the wind blew, it was unusually cold.
Pat walked over and helped him up, while holding a gun and standing guard outside the door.
"Harry, how many explosives do we have?" Pat asked.
"There are still five kilograms for the C4, two miniature missiles, ten grenades, and five intelligent anti-infantry mines, but I don't recommend using them in such a closed and small space, because the shock wave of the explosion will shock us to death in the first place."
"Okay, so what else can we do to kill those bitches outside?" Pat roared, "At least, with bombs, we still have a glimmer of hope, otherwise we can only wait for death, right?" β
"I don't agree, damn it, you and Rayco have both strengthened their bodies, I didn't, once it explodes, I'm going to die." Harry's hands trembled violently, and he clung to his backpack with a fierce look in his eyes.
With a click, Pat shifted the muzzle of his gun.
Rako's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly pulled it away, and a tongue of smoke hit the wall, and debris flew everywhere.
"Are you crazy?" Rako pushed Pat to the ground, "It's all this time, can you stop making infighting." β
Pat stared at Harry with a vicious look in his eyes, "I'm not crazy, it's Harry who is crazy, and now even one of them can go back alive." At least report the situation here to the headquarters, otherwise everyone will die in vain. β
"It's not the last moment, there's always a way," Ryco sat down on the ground in despair, gasping for air.
Outside the door, more and more black shadows could be seen patrolling back and forth, and they kept getting closer, closer and closer, repeatedly testing their bottom line.
With a click, Harry picked up his pistol and slammed the hammer away at the two of them.
Rako hurriedly stood up in front of him.
"No one wants these bombs, no one wants them, I can't live, everyone doesn't want to live." Harry spat and shook nervously, repeating the phrase.
"Put the gun down, Harry, no one will die, believe me, no one." Rako tried to grab the pistol, but Harry moved backwards, frustrating his attempt.
"Can you calm down, there will always be a way, there will always be." Rayco was about to explode, and he pressed his palms to signal both to calm down.
The three of them looked at each other, panting nervously and tensely, as if a spark would explode at any moment.
"It's not impossible, it's just too slim," Harry said with a startled voice, tilting his head in thought.
"What?" Rako jumped.
"I see Ya installing a transmitter in Fourteen's backpack," Harry pondered for a moment, then looked up and said, "It's not difficult to program this transmitter, I can make simulacrums with a single terminal, but it can only allow students in a wide area to receive our positioning signals here, and I can't talk about the predicament we are experiencing." β
"It's so funny, what's the use? Do you expect that group of selfish cadets to come back and save us? Pat smiled mischievously and shook his head, apparently not thinking it would work.
"At least Yahui, after all, we are all people in the company." Harry said without giving up hope.
"She can't kill hundreds of avatars by herself," Pat pouted, "and whether she'll come to save us or not." β
"That's enough," Ryko roared, "let's be a dead horse healer, as it stands, we can hold out for another seventeen hours, and if no one comes to our rescue when the time comes, then carry out the decision made at the beginning." β
........
Taking advantage of the night, Ye Suqin hurriedly left the building, and something appeared in the shadows.
The dead leaf butterfly crawled out of the shadows of the room on all fours, the wound from the ricocheting was no longer bleeding, the skin around the wound was slowly floating, slowly healing at an undetectable speed, and the bullet fragments in her body were forced out by the muscles, and fell to the ground with a clang, making an abrupt sound.
She returned to the balcony where she had been shot, and crawled down, in front of her was a small pool of blood left behind from the previous landing, and she licked her own blood like a wild beast until the pool of blood dried up.
Immediately, she pulled out a bullet, flicked her fingernails, and the bullet flew out, and she gently sprinkled the gunpowder inside on the blood stains, and then ignited, and all traces were burned to charcoal under the faint blue flame.
After doing all this, she looked up, and at the end of her vision, the tiny man was climbing over the obstacle at the end and turning into a fork in the road.
"βlittle little beast, you hurt my sister, hehehe," Withered Leaf Butterfly stared at his departure, with a thick evil taste in her eyes, and a hint of resentment.
..........
Exhaustion, extreme exhaustion.
Ya slammed open the bathroom door and stumbled in, not forgetting to slam the door shut, placing a directional mine in the back.
Gasping for breath, she slowly sat down against the door of the cubicle, hiding her face with her hands. A silent sense of exhaustion swept over, she hadn't closed her eyes for a day and a night, and the equipment on her body had also been lost, plus the non-stop fighting, all kinds of grenades, the consumption of bullets was very large, and there was not much food and water.
Outside, all kinds of scattered gunshots were sparse, compared to the hustle and bustle of the previous night, it was as if this was what the night should be.
Of the twelve students, I don't know how many survived at this moment.
If it weren't for Ye Suqin!
She gritted her teeth, a little remorseful, if it weren't for him, she probably wouldn't be so embarrassed.
There were some footsteps in the hallway, she held her breath, something gently opened the bathroom door, but the amplitude was not very large, it did not trigger the directional lightning behind the door, a furry paw reached in, followed by a swarthy nose, sniffed the air carefully, and then turned away, it was a metamorphosis the size of a domestic cat, looking for food in the night.
Ya, who looked nervous, looked at the other party's departure and breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, across the two streets, Ye Suqin staggered through the ruins with a group of patrolling mercenaries with light steps, talking loudly, not noticing a lone wanderer across the wall from them.
Each of his landing points was very light, walking like a dance, his steps were fast and light, and there was no sound, just wandering among the rocks, and when the two sides staggered and passed the distance of more than twenty steps, Ye Suqin stopped, leaned on the broken wall and pulled the bolt.
Almost as soon as the bullet loaded, he dodged out and pulled the trigger in the opposite direction.
Pull the bolt and pull the trigger, the movement is smooth as if artistic, but extremely fast, and a semi-automatic rifle is fired in bursts.
The patrol team was aware of the bolt of the gun for the first time, but it was too fast, and in just two seconds, three bullets were sent out, and the three patrol team members only turned around, and blood burst out from their bodies and they staggered to the ground.
Ye Suqin's face was calm as usual, he put the rifle behind his back, leaned over with a short body, searched briefly, and wanted to pick up some ammunition before leaving, but he found that a mercenary had a delicate women's pistol pinned to his belt.
Ye Suqin's good-looking eyebrows were raised, and the pistol was put away, and then disappeared into the night.
He walked at a faster and slower pace, the obstacles in front of him didn't seem to allow him to change his rhythm even a little, and there were a few distant shouts in his ears, as if the mercenary companions had found the corpse and were scattering in search of the enemy.
As he was walking, he suddenly took a step sideways, and the whole person spun around half a circle with his ankle as the benchmark like a ballet, and a frizzy bear sprang out and staggered past him by a fraction of a second.
Xiong Huasheng roared after landing on the ground, and after finding the comer, he was a little stupid and turned his head away.
Ye Suqin stood on the side like a statue, indifferently watching Xiong Huasheng's departure, a black shadow jumped out of the pile of rocks, and left with Xiong Huasheng's back.
Ye Suqin suddenly made a lightning move, grabbed the black shadow, and pinched it on the back of its neck with a little force, and the little beast that was about to send out a high-frequency warning scream seemed to be frightened in some way, and was stunned.
The black shadow is a small beast the size of a cat, smooth and hairless, with only a layer of wrinkled skin, looking a little like a jerboa, black eyes the size of a ping-pong ball, and a pointed nose with a nasal cavity the size of a small black bean.
This is a weak, scavenging low-level metamorphosis that needs to be attached to a powerful "beast".
They are swift and pervasive, and when they spot their prey, they send out high-frequency signals that are so sharp that they can be heard by the human ear to convey them to the powerful "beasts". Hearing the signal, the "beasts" will come to hunt their prey, and they will survive on the leftovers of the other party's food.
Ye Suqin touched the little beast's head a little naughtily, and the other party affectionately stuck out his tongue and licked his palm, and there was a faint pain in the palm of his hand, which was because the little beast's tongue had barbs.
Ye Suqin's understanding of metamorphosis in the wilderness surpassed that of the students of the same period to some extent, and even surpassed those experienced hunters who made a living from it in the wilderness.
For the first few months of his time in this world, he relied almost entirely on them for his company.
The incarbens don't hurt him, but he does sometimes need to hunt down these low-level incarbens and devour their flesh to survive, under extreme hunger.
People in this world, no matter how hungry they are, do not have the habit of eating raw meat, not only the meat is coarse, but also not only the metabolic hair, but also the muscles contain dozens of bacteria and viruses that can kill them. It is mainly metaplasia of flesh, which has the attribute of "deficiency" at the genetic level, which can erode the normal tissue cells of human beings, and can go crazy at least and be infected into new metaplasia.
However, these symptoms do not seem to have happened to Ye Suqin.
Ye Suqin has become more and more able to accept the fact that he is a freak, not only in these aspects, but his adaptability is even more terrifying, so far he has not been infected by any infection at the moment of the spread of the virus, even if he drinks the dirty water in the wild that obviously contains various deadly viruses. Naked in a sub-zero environment, although you can still feel the numbing cold, you will not be frozen, you will not get sick, just the cold of the senses, and it will not hurt the actual situation. It is also highly resistant to high temperatures, and the skin heals faster than ever after being wounded.
His sense of hearing is keen, his vision is farther than ordinary people, and his premonition or intuition of crises is sharper than before he came into this world.
It's as if the whole body was built to survive in this terrible world.
