Dean followed the red chain back to the fork in the road, into the right-hand passage where he had never set foot.

The four women followed behind in disbelief, the bloody scene of monster corpses piling up in their minds repeating itself like a nightmare.

In the ordinary life of the past ten years, it is subverted today, and the powerful impact makes them completely speechless and quiet to the point of depression.

I was so tired and scared, and I walked for a quarter of an hour in great torment.

Dean suddenly broke the silence, "There's something. ”

He walked up the low steps to the left side of the passage to a wall and used his flashlight to illuminate several vertical pipes, as well as the distinctive lamp holders and glass covers on the pipes.

"Gas light in case of emergency, turn it on!" Maeve shouted excitedly.

Dean immediately lit the gas lamp, and the bright yellow flame lit up in the lampshade, and then he rotated the gas pipeline under Maeve's guidance, and the flame turned a steady and vigorous blue, suppressing the faint glow of the flashlight.

The four women could clearly see each other through the flames, wet with sweat into a handful of hair, dusty and dirty bitter gourd faces, and embarrassed like chickens, and a certain kind of suppressed emotion suddenly broke out in reverse.

"Poof!"

Maeve pointed to the black girl with a dry nose hanging under her nose and laughed, "Hallie, are you an atavism, the smell on your body is even worse than a rugby player who has been training for a day!" ”

Hallie glared at her flat chest and smiled disdainfully, "How good can you be, you can't see the curves of a woman when your clothes are soaked, and you don't need to be transgender to be a brother to the male god of your dreams!" ”

"Shut up, bitch, beware of being killed by the Toad Man!"

"Are they willing? My charm crosses species! The black girl shook her huge "chest muscles", pouted her big buttocks and slapped it twice, "They will definitely kill this rib girl first!" ”

"Across species? From chimpanzees to toad people? ”

"Falk Squid!"

The two of them quarreled, and the atmosphere that was so tense and terrifying before suddenly disappeared.

Luna thought differently again, her hazel eyes flickered, and she suddenly pounced on the man who was watching the play quietly, her legs between his waist,

"You saved everyone's lives, I want to thank you so much!"

The moist red lips kissed him hard, a deep kiss, and the red hair slapped against his face, giving off a faint smell of perfume and sweat.

Seeing this, Julie next to her also wrapped her arms around him and put her face on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry, we were just frightened by the monsters...", at which point Harley and Maeve abruptly ended their confrontation and apologized to Dean sincerely, "Please forgive us for our awful, ignorant behavior. God testifies that we will obey orders and that we will do our best to repay and thank you as long as we can get out! ”

Maeve nodded busily.

"You don't need to apologize, just listen to the command." Dean shook his head and smiled, removing the dogskin plaster from Luna's body, he could also see that the women were just trying to take a chance to release their fears, and seeing their lively appearance, Dean couldn't help but think back to his friends at Nevada State High School.

As long as they don't mess around, Dean is willing to provide protection within his ability.

"By the way, are you thirsty?"

Dee reached into his arms and took out a bottle of drinking water, took a big sip of it himself, handed it to Julie next to him, and passed it to Luna...

The four women took a few small sips with eagerness but restraint, and finally returned most of the remaining bottle to Dean, without asking about the origin of the bottle.

"Dean, you're not ordinary, are you?" Maeve watched the man magically stuff the bottle of water into his pocket, and couldn't help but mention,

"I'm the Toad Man Buster. Well, stop talking and rest quietly for a quarter of an hour. ”

Under the light of the gaslight, everyone's fear slowly calmed down and they continued to move on.

……

The terrain is getting lower and lower, and the forks in the road appear many times, and this huge underground base reveals the nature of the labyrinth.

As long as you choose the wrong path, you will be trapped in it forever.

But Dean kept following the red chains, stepping down several rusty metal steps, and the surrounding building structure changed slightly, in addition to the horizontal water pipes on the ceiling, there were also more inclined pipes that could be drilled into by one person, and the darkness in between, and it was impossible to see where it led from God's perspective.

At one point, Dean paused, and suddenly swept to a strange wall not far away, not like the metal and concrete structures of the past, but transparent glass, and the back of the glass was filled with turbid and reddish water, forming a huge aquarium, reflecting a pale red sparkling light in the light of the gas lamp.

"Be careful, there's a monster in the water!" Harley covered her mouth with a low growl, and the women took a step back, only to see a toad man slowly floating out of the depths of the aquarium.

It floated like a corpse with its eyes closed, its swollen, wrinkled face pressed against the other side of the glass wall, and every wrinkle, wart-like protrusion and jagged rotten teeth on its face were clearly displayed in the eyes of everyone, making it even more ugly.

What's even more infiltrating is that in front of this monster's chest, there is also a suspended thigh, the lower half is gnawed cleanly to expose the white bones, and the upper half is swollen, white, and wrinkled, and I don't know how long it has been soaked!

The women gasped, and Dean touched his chin and looked at the system with relish, thirty-seven percent of the progress, "This guy actually sleeps in the water." ”

"It's normal," Maeve boldly approached the aquarium and reached out to touch it, and said in a low voice, "Toads are originally amphibians, and these humanoid monsters have the genes of toads in their bodies, so they can naturally live in the water. ”

Luna pulled out M1911 and aimed at the massive head through the glass wall, "Toad is docile, why is this monster attacking us?" ”

"Meek? Toads are carnivores, and they live in this claustrophobic underground, and they obviously lack meat and need to be hunted..."Julie recalled the statement of the bearded old man in the video, looking straight at the thigh that was beginning to rot and deteriorate, and calmly analyzed, "It treats us as prey and food for training our actual combat ability." ”

Dean nodded, which would explain why Gracie's group of retired Marines had taken people into abandoned factories at regular times - they were feeding the toad people.

Progress jumped to 40 percent!

"But I remember that in the videotape, the old man called us mother in addition to our prey, and what did that mean?" Maeve brushed her wet black hair behind her fair neck, and her flickering gaze slowly swept over the four companions.

Naturally, being admitted to Purdue University is not stupid, and the women couldn't help but swallow their spit when their brains turned,

"Don't be cranky, it's impossible, there's reproductive isolation between monsters and humans." Hallie shook her head, "That old man was just trying to scare us!" ”

"Sisters, just thinking about that possibility, I feel that life is better than death. If you accidentally get caught by the Toad Man," Luna said in a heavy tone as she checked the bullets in her pistol, "We'd better kill ourselves!" ”

Suicide –

As soon as Luna's words landed, the floating "corpses" in the aquarium suddenly opened a pair of scarlet eyes and looked straight at the five people.

Then, like a hungry shark that suddenly smelled blood, it swung its limbs wildly in the water and kicked the glass wall, making a loud bang.

The women were so frightened that they retreated.

Dean calmly pressed Luna's finger on the trigger and winked at the monster behind the glass wall.

Click-

Invisible telekinesis surges.

Its neck instantly rotated three hundred and sixty degrees to the right to return to its original position, and then stopped struggling, and its massive body slowly floated above the water.

There was a dead silence in the air.

Before everyone could react to the sudden death of the toad man, there was a dull sound of footsteps in the passage in the distance, faintly accompanied by human sobs.

"Are there any other humans down here?" A look of surprise flashed in Dean's eyes, and he led a few people to chase in the direction from which the voice came.

In the darkness deep in the corridor, a woman with inconvenient legs and feet who was panting like a cow ran away, and the two of them looked like they were in their twenties wearing a couple outfit with a black upper body and a blue lower body.

But they're too slow.

Behind them, a toad man with his hands and feet running wildly suddenly puffed out his cheeks, opened his mouth and spat out a silent black line forward, which crossed the air like an arrow from a string, hitting the man's back.

Yes!

The man screamed and rolled to the ground, and the venom instantly soaked the black shirt around his waist, corroding his skin and flesh to the point of a burst of white smoke that smelled of roasted meat.

The woman on the right lost the support of her companion and suddenly fell forward, her side face was rubbed by the hard ground with a row of bloody scabs, and the toad man who had just vomited poison kicked her legs on the ground, and her body was lightning over ten meters and pressed down on her.

Bang!

Gunshots are buzzing!

The toad man dangling in the air seemed to have crashed into a wall of air, and the humanoid body suddenly lost its kinetic energy, and the bloodshot vertical pupils that fell to the ground with a pop lost their lustre.

.

44Magnum pierced through the back of its head through its half-open mouth, black blood and brains splattered from the open hole.

The terrible monster turned into a cold corpse, and the woman lying on the ground was stunned for a moment, her hands and feet squirming, and she crawled like mad to the man who was wailing weaker and weaker not far away.

……

Dean didn't stop, holding the M1900 and walking briskly past the couple, raising the muzzle of the gun and pulling the trigger casually at the mouth of a few pipes hanging from the ceiling.

Bang bang bang!

Three bullets cut three and a half moons, and turned into the pipe from the bottom to the top, and then three toad men in camouflage uniforms slid to the ground, all of them breaking bloody holes in their foreheads.

Mastery +2*4, Shooting Lv4 (8/500)

……

Dean blew into the muzzle of the M1900, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

Previously, to hit a high-speed moving Toad Man, you needed to freeze your mind and shoot several shots to kill the target.

But now, with precision, Dean doesn't need to desperately aim at the target, nor does he need to shake his wrist, as long as he senses the target, and then pulls the trigger, the bullet can be automatically tracked, and a headshot can kill him.

This kind of archery has surpassed that of the former Eater of Deaths, and it has a hundred shots within the range.

Under precision.

Unless the opponent's speed exceeds the bullet, or the steel and iron bones can block the bullet's attack, there is no escape.

The only pity is that after the upgrade, Dean's efficiency in gaining proficiency has been greatly reduced again.

……

Dean and Luna came to the woman's side, and the man in front of her was miserable, and in a matter of seconds, a bloody hole in his waist was melted by the venom spewed by the toad man, and the broken white bones and missing internal organs were clearly visible.

He lay in a pool of blood, his glaring eyes crawling with fear, unwillingness, and a different kind of tenderness.

The woman knelt on the ground, gently caressing his handsome face, hysterically calling "Chris", "Chris", but received no response.

Luna's four women had sympathy and reluctance on their faces, and Dean asked bluntly,

"You're the couple at the abandoned factory party tonight?"

The woman on her knees choked and closed her eyes for her boyfriend, tears and blood slid down her cheeks and chin as she nodded, falling to the ground.

Dean then asked, "How did you get in?" ”

There was a hint of crying in the woman's nose, and there was a gritted tooth expression on her face, "Woo... The perverted bastard threatens us with guns and forces us to jump into the underground passage. ”

Dean's expression moved, "Is the leader of that group of perverts a white man about fifty years old, tall... Weight... Self-proclaimed technician. ”

"You know him?!"

The woman's eyes looked straight over, and her eyes shot bitter hatred,

"He's a demon who specializes in kidnapping innocents and throwing them into underground bases for these monsters to kill. We were also victims, but I was lucky enough to have a weapon with me and kill some monsters. Dean paused, thoughtful.

Now it seems that because he killed Gracie's group who were supposed to "deliver", and did not meet the connector "technician" at the agreed time.

So the other party re-kidnapped a group of people at around eight o'clock in the evening and threw them into the underground passage through another secret entrance.

Dean asked, "It's not just the two of you who have been thrown in, but what about the rest?" ”

The woman sobbed twice, and glanced at the toad man next to her with hatred and fear.

"It's gone, these monsters have claws and teeth sharper than chainsaws, and they can tear people apart at the slightest touch! I saw with my own eyes that Howell had his heart pulled out with a claw, Rick was bitten in half by three monsters with their teeth, and Erin and Daisy were taken captive, and they didn't know if they were alive or dead. We simply can't resist these monsters! ”

"Woo, Chris is gone, I'm the only one left."

Hiss –

The four of Luna exchanged a look.

Under Dean's massacre, they couldn't help but have the illusion that toad people were not much stronger than ordinary people.

But now, the woman's description pulls them back to reality and deepens their understanding, and normal people have little chance of surviving the toad people.

So it's not that the toad people are too weak, it's that the man in front of them is too powerful and protects them too well!

"Mourn, ma'am."

"Call me Joan..."

Dean said, "We're leaving, you can follow if you want." ”

"I'm not going anywhere, I'm going to stay with Chris." The woman took her dead boyfriend's head in her arms, gently wiped the blood and dust from his face like a precious treasure, and kissed him lightly on the forehead.

"Ma'am, listen to me, we deeply regret what happened to you, but you can't stay, those monsters will kill you!" Julie stomped her foot and tugged at her arm anxiously, "Come with us, Chris also wants you to live well." ”

Maeve gritted her teeth and pulled her other arm.

"You know, at Faraye's party tonight, just three hours ago, he proposed to me, and I said yes." Joan gently broke free and showed everyone the ring on his left hand, a happy smile on the corner of his mouth, "After wearing the ring, I made a life and death contract with him." He hadn't abandoned me before, so how could I bear to leave him? ”

"I have only one request," Joan looked at Dean pleading with poignant tears on her face, "Can you give me a gun?" ”

Dean hesitated for two seconds, then took out another spare M1911 from his arms and handed it to the woman, while opening the telekinesis barrier to protect all companions,

"Will it work?"

"Well, thank you very much." The woman picked up the gun, and there was a gleam in her eyes, "I will always pray for you, and I wish you to successfully kill these disgusting monsters and perverted technicians, and escape from 'hell' safe and sound!" ”

Dean nodded, then turned around decisively and continued to track the red chain.

The women hesitated for a moment and trotted to follow, but they were not far away.

Bang!

A crisp gunshot rang from behind him, shaking the souls of several people, and they stopped unconsciously.

Dean looked at the darkness ahead and sighed,

"Chris, Joan, may you meet in the Soul Prison."

……

Shortly after that, a large amount of fresh blood appeared around the passage, still steaming hot, which should belong to the people who had been attacked before, but most of the corpses and flesh were missing, and it was unknown where the toad people had taken them.

And not far beyond the bloodstain, they found a second room.
