Chapter 23 Chapter 23 (2/2)

“Ah!!”

Everyone instantly turned their heads and saw Li Chun being swept up by something and dragged into the vent. They were only able to see his shoes and dripping mucous before he completely disappeared inside!

“Chun’er!!”

Everyone shouted. There was rustling in the vent as well as the sound of gunfire. Li Chun who was being dragged away was still shooting!

After about thirty-five seconds, the sound of gunfire disappeared.

“What was that?!”

“I seemed to have seen something like a sucker!”

“That wasn’t another damned spider?!!”

“No! I don’t think it was!”

Song Qinglan immediately cut them off, “Go! Continue onwards!”

As soon as he finished saying this, another thing dropped from the air vent with a ‘clang’. That thing looked like a tongue, but it was covered with suckers. With a ‘whoosh’, it attacked the nearest Zhou Mingxuan!

Zhou Mingxuan immediately rolled away. Soon afterwards, the teammates shot at the ‘tongue’ which had suddenly appeared, only to hear a strange scream sound from above them. That ‘tongue’ suddenly retracted, leaving only a tip of it curled up on the ground like it was still alive.

There was vibration in the vent above them. That ‘tongue’ was probably running away.

Song Qinglan fired a few shots in the direction of the sound with a dark expression but soon lost trace of it.

Ji Yushi had already walked over. With one hand covering his painful abdominal wound and the other holding a dagger, he examined that object.

It was slimy and soft, and it very soon stopped moving.

Ji Yushi didn’t even blink. It was unknown what he was thinking.

“Go downstairs!”

Song Qinglan ordered again.

Everyone went together. This time they walked a lot more closely, ensuring that no one would fall behind.

The so-called mutations didn’t just apply to spiders. Li Chun’s disappearance cast a shadow of anger and panic in everyone’s hearts but there was no time for them to mourn for him.

Unfortunately, before they could reach the end of the corridor, a new wave of zombies appeared from around the corner!

“Grrr——”

Song Qinglan was right. The number of zombies that had been wiped out in the corridor just now really wasn’t right.

It was unknown if the commotion from the monster’s surprise attack gave away their location. From downstairs and all around them, several times more zombies than before arrived at the same time!

With a ‘slap’, Ji Yushi arm felt both cold and painful. That ‘tongue’ had once again appeared from above and managed to accurately wind itself around his arm!

Diamond Bird fell onto the ground as a result of the pain and Ji Yushi was pulled into the air!

“Advisor Ji!”

Amid the gunfire, someone shouted.

The teammates were too busy to even take care of themselves. Ji Yushi pulled out his dagger and fiercely stabbed it into that ‘tongue’ but this time, that monster seemed to have remembered the failed attempt last time and just screamed and tightened its ‘tongue’ even more. Ji Yushi could almost feel the bones in his arms cracking under the pressure.

He was about to be dragged into the vent!

At this moment, Ji Yushi heard a roar.

“Ji Yushi!”

He saw Song Qinglan turn his muzzle in his direction in spite of the numerous zombies in front of him and fire at the ceiling. Screams came from the vents and Ji Yushi suddenly found himself falling back onto the ground.

Ji Yushi landed on the ground and was still lying on his side, but he immediately shouted, “Don’t move!”

At this critical moment, his purple hand reached for his Diamond Bird and he fired a few times at the zombies behind Song Qinglan!

This kind of tacit understanding….

The zombies close at hand were shot in the head. Zombie blood and brain matter exploded onto Song Qinglan’s face.

“You’re welcome.” Song Qinglan said, “Thank you.”

Ji Yushi:”…….”

He actually said the lines for both of them himself.

Song Qinglan didn’t even move to wipe away the blood and just took out the only red magazine from his pocket with a calm expression.

The teammates continued to shoot at the wave of zombies. Ju Yushi was lifted from the ground by Zhou Mingxuan.

Thousands of zombies surrounded them. At a glance, it looked endless.

Song Qinglan held Shen Mian and changed the magazine at an incredible speed.

‘Click’. Ji Yushi seemed to hear the sound of it being loaded amidst the deafening gunfire and roars.

“Do you know what Shen Mian’s full name is?!”

Song Qinglan’s entire body emitted a thug-like air. At this moment, Ji Yushi saw strong killing intent and wildness on his face.

The teammates next to him seemed to have realised something and gradually gathered to his side.

Not waiting for Ji Yushi’s response, Song Qinglan answered, “Sleeping god.”

“Boom!!!”

An earth-shattering boom sounded. This level of the base shook violently and shockwaves transmitted to their ears, causing severe pain in everyone’s eardrums as well as a sharp ringing sound.

Above them, parts of the ceiling fell, crushing the zombies underneath.

“Cover your ears!!!”

The bombing continued. With three consecutive shots, everyone saw that the entire wave of zombies on the path leading downstairs had been completely crushed!!

At the rear of the building, a large hole had formed and there was a spacecar there. Some zombies changed targets and rushed towards the spacecar instead.

A familiar tall figure stood on top of the spacecar. Standing against the light, he held a pitch-black Shen Mian in his hand and the red light from the magazine gradually dimmed.

Other familiar figures also appeared on the spacecar one after another.

Duan Wen, Zhou Mingxuan, Tang Qi, Tang Le, Li Chun and Ji Yushi. Including the person that led them, it was a total of seven people.

That person was indeed Song Qinglan. His tone was very stern, “When I left, I thought it was an A-level mission, so I didn’t bring much equipment. This is originally very precious. Song Qinglan, you shouldn’t be using three of them here in this place.”

The two teams looked at each other from afar.

One was clean and tidy, while the other was in a rather pathetic state.

Song Qinglan was covered in blood. The Shen Mian in his hand that didn’t have the chance to be used was still glowing with red light.

Everyone behind him were almost at their limits and on the verge of falling into despair.

On the other end, the Song Qinglan standing on the spacecar looked at them with interest and then spoke up, “It is not the end yet. We from Team 6 are here to assist. You’re welcome.”

The light blurred their vision.

Dust scattered in all directions.

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene before them changed.

Those seven people who had appeared like gods as well as the spacecar suddenly disappeared.

The large hole in the building also began to recover, and the corpses of the zombies beside them that had been blown apart and crushed seemed to be slowly reorganising.

At this moment, everyone immediately understood one thing.

Use this chance and get downstairs!!
