But the lurker from last night had already been dealt with downstairs.
How was there still one here?
Luo Xiao Le frowned, realizing the base had become even less secure recently.
A grave hidden danger.
Luo Xiao Le and Luo Shu pressed against the corridor wall, not moving.
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out from a room on the 7th floor near the corridor!
It sounded muffled, not very loud, much like the silenced guns Qin Ming Yang and his team had previously used.
Luo Xiao Le curiously poked his head out slightly, peering into the hallway.
The lurker had already claimed many lives.
The hallway was now strewn with corpses lying in disarray.
Large amounts of blood seeped from beneath the bodies, staining half the corridor.
It was a horrifying sight.
The gunshots from the room continued, relentlessly attacking the lurker standing in the hallway.
The lurker let out a furious roar and charged directly into the room.
"Damn it! How can this thing not be killed no matter what!"
The two soldiers inside the room had already gone through several magazines.
Finally, they pulled out two silenced pistols and unleashed a barrage of attacks at the lurker.
Despair was already welling up in their eyes.
The bullets pierced the lurker's flesh and blood, splashing blackish-red fluids everywhere, but its movements were unaffected.
It clawed the ground furiously, flipped over, and leaped onto the ceiling.
"Click!" The gunshots stuttered.
The two soldiers exchanged a look. It was over, they were out of ammo!
The lurker's eyes blazed with rage. Its evolved tail swept horizontally, sending the two soldiers crashing to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
At this moment, a middle-aged man on a nearby hospital bed stirred slowly.
The lurker instantly locked onto its target, crawling closer and closer along the ceiling, intending to pounce directly at the man.
"Chief!" The two soldiers' eyes widened in fury as they lunged forward, trying to protect the man.
In an instant, a foul odor filled the air. The lurker lowered its barbed tongue and lightly scraped across one of the soldiers' faces.
A large chunk of flesh was instantly ripped from the man's cheek, leaving it bloody and mangled.
Immediately after, its neck was severed by another barb, and blood gushed out!
The soldier's head lolled to the side, life extinguished.
The lurker tasted blood again. With a flick of its tongue, it prepared to attack the man on the bed.
The soldier's eyes turned red. He used his arm to shield himself, once again standing in front of the man.
The Chief had saved his life. Even if he was going to die now, he would buy the Chief some more time!
"Head down." A clear female voice suddenly rang out from the doorway.
He instinctively obeyed, lowering his head instantly.
"Whoosh!" Something suddenly whizzed past his ear.
At the same moment, the lurker's tongue lashed down, right where his head had been.
The tongue was riddled with several large holes, as if struck by something incredibly sharp, and was instantly severed halfway!
The overwhelming shock of the scene made the soldier momentarily lose the ability to think.
This was followed by several "swish-swish" sounds.
Several objects, resembling thumbtacks, pierced the lurker's body in succession.
They pinned it down, driving it directly into the adjacent wall.
One of them, with pinpoint accuracy, had penetrated the lurker's forehead, causing countless pale-blue, brain-like substances to drip wetly from its skull.
The soldier shook his head violently. This couldn't be thumbtacks, it absolutely couldn't be thumbtacks! These things were more powerful than bullets!
"Damn, that cost me 18 thumbtacks. This one is even faster than the previous ones," the clear female voice sounded again, growing closer.
The soldier looked up and saw a slender girl walking towards them. Her oversized hoodie seemed to sway with her movements, as if she might fall at any moment.
The middle-aged man on the bed finally seemed to have gathered enough strength. He coughed a few times, his voice weak as he shifted his gaze towards them.
A small, spirited head was tied into a neat high ponytail, framing a dark complexion.
A pair of almond-shaped eyes looked utterly harmless.
"Are you alright?" The
