Chapter 8, look at how calm he is!

Missed the target

Twisted darkness

The three fugitives had even rushed up to the twenty-third floor, and the leading woman dashed past Su Chen without a care for the others, rushing into the corridor behind and desperately trying to lock the door. In her tension and fear, she didn't even notice that the door lock was broken.

Death

At this moment, Su Chen had already arrived in the corridor

Therefore, he did not hesitate and immediately adjusted his angle, swiftly firing a second shot at the elongated ghostly figure that was easier to hit

The square, dim warhammer of "light as a feather" strikes the slender ghostly figure with the force of ten thousand tons

No

The screams and frantic escape from outside were drawing ever closer to the top floor, and Xia Ming and others in the presidential suite had already become tense. Xia Ming even took out his other handgun, gripping it tightly in his palm

The female secretary seemed to have completely misjudged Su Chen's panicked gaze, and in her excitement, she even grabbed Xia Ming's hand: "There’s no mistake, this is definitely an impressive individual! Did you see the way they looked at us just now? They were so calm!"

He held a gravity war hammer in his left hand, while his other hand gripped a pistol that appeared almost unchanged in appearance. The Miao knife was sheathed and tied around his waist in a somewhat awkward manner

... ...

Su Chen noticed that the lock on the security passage had long been damaged, and it is likely that the first monster also came from the security passage.

Operate!

Su Chen is already fully armed

He glanced at Xia Ming, opened his mouth, and intended to say a few words to calm down the seemingly anxious Xia Ming and the others. However, he felt an overwhelming sense of nervousness in his heart and ultimately remained silent, fearing that he might say something wrong that would make these few people even more anxious and lead to chaos. At that moment, he made a concerted effort to rein in his extremely flustered gaze, steady his mind, and directly stepped into the corridor.

Only by striking the head can it be killed

Two slender ghostly figures made Su Chen's heart tighten slightly, but he soon realized that his elevated position provided an excellent shooting vantage point

Su Chen's heart suddenly sank; he completely ignored the woman who was terrified out of her wits. He knew that if he could not deal with the two elongated ghostly figures, at a height of 23 stories, once those two things came up, everyone would be doomed to die

At that moment, Su Chen pushed the door open and stepped out

From the perspective of Xia Ming and others, Su Chen's silent and fully armed demeanor as he walks out is rather a display of confidence and strength

As they ascended the stairs, they moved on all fours, racing up the steps like beasts. The black, twisted fluid substance writhed and spread across their bodies like living worms. The flickering light of the flashlight cast their shadows onto the walls, refracting into even more terrifying and grotesque images.

This shot was absurdly off-target; it was clearly aimed at the head, yet it exploded directly against the wall about two meters above the first slender ghostly figure, creating a large crater in the wall on the spot

Su Chen first arrived at the stairway of the emergency exit, turned on the flashlight, and observed down the stairs. The lights in the corridor below were flickering, and people were running while carrying flashlights.

These two words instantly surged into his heart, leaving him feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his mind went completely blank

One must not be dominated by fear

The emaciated, elongated specter is still alive, yet its speed has rapidly diminished. Its twisted, slender arms tightly clutch its head, while its body continues to recover at an alarming rate

The difference between shooting in games and shooting in reality is too great

... ...

The deafening gunfire echoed, and the bright tongues of flame flickered and vanished.

Su Chen could not wait for those fleeing individuals to bring the monsters to him before taking action, as that would be too late, leaving no room for maneuver. Therefore, although he was extremely anxious, reason told him that he must step outside and first clarify what kind of monsters were coming and how many there were in the more complex and spacious corridor.

Those are two slender, elongated shadows

He can do nothing but watch... watch death approach

The shot struck the first slender ghostly figure squarely, and the terrifying force of the modified handgun caused its forward-moving body to momentarily falter. A large gash erupted on its back, and thick, dark blood gushed out like a torrent. However, the black material on its body flowed as if it were alive, rapidly filling in the flesh and blood. In less than two seconds, it was about to heal, and it continued to crawl upward at high speed!

The four of them were extremely tense, and the attractive female secretary kept glancing at the locked room of Su Chen, murmuring: "Xiao Song, do you think it's true that Su Chen killed a monster in an instant? With such a commotion outside, how come he hasn't shown his face? Are we being deceived? Those damned guys, why are they running upstairs?"

The low, oppressive howls echoed in the hallway

In a state of extreme anxiety, a thought that was both absurd and foolish flashed through Su Chen's blank mind: Why didn't I think of practicing shooting at the shooting range back then

At this moment, the madwoman was still closing the door, while the other two survivors—one was desperately trying to stop her from closing it, and the other, a heavyset man, had fallen to the ground, leaning against the wall, horrified as he watched the fully armed man shooting down at the terrifying monsters from the staircase handrail.

At that moment, his pupils suddenly constricted, as the second elongated ghostly figure abruptly accelerated, stepping on the body of its companion and leaping high into the air, over three meters high, directly charging towards the twenty-third floor, with four blade-like "arms" raised, sweeping directly towards Su Chen

Humans cannot outrun them at all; they can only survive thanks to the brief moments of delay caused by these creatures hunting down other living beings.

Su Chen did not have time to assess the situation and immediately fired a third and fourth shot, determined to halt the opponent's momentum

The plaster was peeling off in flakes, and the first slender ghostly figure had already arrived at the center of the twenty-second floor landing!

Before he even stepped out of the door, his hand gripping the gun was already drenched in cold sweat

Previously, when he died, it was also like this; a truck driving in the opposite direction suddenly lost control and crashed into him.

Su Chen completely ignored her, as the beam of his flashlight was illuminating two monsters closely following behind them

The bullet shot out of the modified handgun's chamber, surprisingly displaying a dark red color akin to that of a laser

The solution to breaking the deadlock is right in front of us

However

In addition to her, there were three other extremely disheveled individuals who were also fleeing upward in a panic

Su Chen gritted his teeth; in the final moment of a life-and-death situation, he exerted all his strength and hurled the gravity warhammer from his hand, sending it crashing toward the monster.

As the two elongated ghostly figures were about to charge forward, Su Ran immediately raised the handgun in his hand. Recalling the experiences from the shooting games he had played, he steadied the gun using the handrail at the corner of the corridor, aimed at the head of the first elongated ghostly figure rushing up the landing of the twenty-second floor, gritted his teeth, and fired with a thunderous bang

Cold sweat was trickling down from the temples, and Su Chen barely had time to catch his breath before he had to fire the fifth shot

At this moment, they had already reached the twenty-second floor. A woman running in front even caught sight of Su Chen, who was gazing around with a face of despair streaming with tears, and a glimmer of ecstasy appeared on her face as she shouted: "Save me! Save me!"

The sounds are coming from the safety passage in the slanted side, a cacophony of noise and chaos, with screams and cries mingling together, and the distance to the top floor is getting closer and closer

However, I do not have the time or opportunity to aim for his head

I am well-prepared and occupy a favorable position. If I cannot eliminate these two gaunt specters today, how will I survive in the future

However

This time is different, this time...! ... I am prepared!

Several fugitives running are covering their heads and screaming in terror

For these individuals, it truly is a matter of survival to run faster than others
