Chapter 9: A Few Matters Concerning Mao Renmei
In the moment when flesh and blood were sliced open like a scythe, the young man turned around without hesitation and charged into the white stone pillar behind him. At that instant, he felt a deep sense of disgust towards this zombie-infested realm
The sleekly designed shotgun does not even have a scope, and under the circumstances of aiming with the naked eye, a moving zombie at a distance of 300 meters appears almost as a mere dot in the vision of an average person
I have come to understand why this magic academy has been discovered for so long yet no one has come to explore it; the level of danger here is even higher than that of some weaker Class B worlds
Ah!
That is a terrifying figure
The kite runner held the engineering assembly gun labeled "Friendship Support" in his hands, and thought to himself:
That was the first thing he wanted to accomplish after he turned thirty
This wave of support has arrived at just the right moment
The twisted, scythe-like arms nearly decapitated the Explosive Woman on the spot, and her once angelic face now appeared as grotesque as a demon, frightening the Explosive Woman into a shrill scream as she rolled down the slope.
In his left hand, he aimed a rugged yet intimidating double-barreled hand cannon at the Bomb Girl, the dark gun barrel still lingering with smoke, while the ejected shell casings danced at his feet
This fellow also passed through the stone pillars, leaving Mason alone on the platform to face the mutated zombies that were still howling and lunging at him despite having a broken leg
He looked at the mute young man with surprise
During a brief moment while Mason was reloading, he took a glance at the green figure flying back and forth in mid-air. This kite man is one of the lesser villains among Gotham's third-tier antagonists; rather than being a true villain, it would be more accurate to describe him as a comedian.
Hello! This monster was defeated by everyone together! The spoils should be shared by all!
At the moment he recognized him, Mason felt a chill in his heart
The giant zombie's massive face, a bloodline of giants, is covered with torn and decaying skin, its eyes pale like those of a creature from hell, and among its protruding teeth, one can faintly see the abnormal fangs that have grown.
Haige
The handgun in hand continued to fire, bringing down the zombies that approached Platform 9 and 3/4.
Witnessing a living person vanish before a white stone pillar is indeed somewhat bizarre, but the bombshell and the dizzy count who narrowly escaped death are unconcerned with such matters
He is currently limping over, clearly very frightened, yet he still stands tremblingly on Mason's side
He cast a lingering glance at the kite flyer
In that moment, an inexplicable sense of loss nearly brought the kite flyer to tears, and then he was forcefully kicked by Mason
In the midst of utter silence, Mason expressionlessly opened the chamber of his hand cannon, loaded it with a bullet the thickness of his thumb, and then bent down to scoop up a handful from the corpse of the zombie Haige.
Click
Old K's shout was already filled with anger, as he yelled:
The bullet, heated and exiting the chamber, triggered double damage, causing the entire left leg of the red-dressed little girl spider zombie that was pouncing towards me to explode.
At the moment he was deep in thought, a scream echoed before him
The bystander Old K collected his magic arrows while glancing at the conflict involving the "new team member". His gaze lingered on Mason for a few seconds, yet it seemed as if he saw nothing and had no intention of getting involved.
However, such good fortune certainly would not occur in a place overrun by zombies
The nightmare is over, my dear. It's time to go home; your parents have been waiting for you for a long time
Of course, one must think critically
Each time the large claw strikes down, the entire platform trembles, clearly hindered by the ability of the Dizziness Count, causing it to walk and attack in a very staggered manner, even leading to falls
The double damage from the two triggered critical hits successfully blew apart the brain of the zombie Haige.
However, her situation was not as dire, as Mason's assault support ensured that whenever a large number of zombies surrounded her, a barrage of bullets would fly in to buy her some time
It seems that my "teammate" is performing very poorly
Hmm?
A villain who is willing to pay rent on time and endure the same life troubles as ordinary people cannot be all that bad
The kite runner continuously fired in mid-air, but could not hit the alien zombie that moved in a very erratic manner
Mason curled his lip and lowered the muzzle of his sidearm, then released a flying bomb that whistled away, sweeping through the howling mass of corpses 300 meters away with two explosions
The Dizziness Count even transferred his abilities to the Bomb Girl, causing her to stumble and fall to the ground as she ran, and then he crouched down and crawled into the passage beneath the collapsed floor.
The unfortunate fellow's resilient diamond-shaped kite behind him has been rendered tattered and torn, still bearing fierce claw marks and congealed blood, nearly resulting in the dismemberment of this individual on the spot
The young person moved lightly with a step and dodged, and then the kite flyer was sent flying after being struck.
Therefore, everyone, as the captain, I would like to make a suggestion
As for the Bombshell and the Dazzling Count, Mason is quite familiar with their stories. To put it simply, these two scoundrels belong to the type of "traditional villains" who would enjoy VIP treatment even in hell.
He threw the bunch of keys into his backpack again, then took out a small can of fuel and poured it over the corpse of the zombie Hager, stepping back a few paces to fire a shot and ignite it
The Explosive Woman and the Dazed Count are merely inadequate cannon fodder reserves. In the Joker's gang, you fools who fail to recognize the situation will be fed to Batman by the boss
The disheveled hair and long beard, resembling that of a dwarf, were also covered in chunks of flesh blown away by the explosion caused by the woman.
The explosive woman stood up, clutching her abdomen, her face a picture of disarray and dirt, clearly expressing her displeasure. She still remembered how Mason had used her as a zombie bait while leisurely practicing his shooting during that damned operation.
Oh, I understand! Look at mine!
It seems you can handle it, buddy, so I will go ahead first
The latter awkwardly shrugged and said
The gravel scattered, causing her to stop in her tracks
Otherwise, it is impossible to explain how a just wizard like Rubeus Hagrid, a senior member of the Order of the Phoenix and once a member of the main protagonist group, could also be infected by the virus
Our contributions far exceed yours, and you do not have the right to receive so much
However, this fellow has always been optimistic and does not harbor many ill intentions. As a villain in Gotham, he surprisingly rents a shabby apartment and shares the rent with a roommate.
What are you all doing? Get it to the top for me
Before the young man could properly discern the meaning of this talent, the moment he rushed into the magical platform, he heard the sound of a fierce explosion and the stern reprimand of Old K
The mutated zombie lunged forward, its tongue, covered in barbs and resembling a snake, thrusting towards Mason, while the wicked trigger was pulled at that very moment
Successfully completed an outstanding and special execution of an extraordinary creature with a headshot, shooting skill proficiency increased by X20
She hissed as she descended from the sky, her arms and legs contorted like those of a grotesque spider
Sigh, I originally thought we were good teammates who just wanted to enjoy some easy gains together, but it turns out they are also a hidden big shot
Run fast! That thing is very hard to hit
First, a set of motorcycle keys was found on the blood-stained belt of Haige, and then a ruggedly designed giant hunting knife was drawn from his large boots
With a loud cry, the two of them burst out of the encirclement, pushing and shoving each other as they attempted to squeeze through the narrow gap in front of them
The distorted and swollen body of this creature after zombification makes it appear like a moving mountain of flesh, surrounded by green toxic gas, causing the bomb girl and the dizzy count, who are forced to confront it, to turn pale with fear.
Perhaps by taking this step, I could return to the ordinary yet genuine days of three days ago, continuing to joyfully execute my grand plan for a global budget travel.
Bang, bang, bang
It appears very messy and quite miserable
Mason cast a cold glance at the Explosive Woman and the Dazed Count, waving his hand to throw the repulsive-smelling black mole fur coat to the Kite Man, and inserted the giant-style hunting knife into his waist
My magic arrows are not meant for use here! Quickly use your damn bullets to take down this tough-skinned, thick-fleshed creature! Even after becoming a zombie, it can still heal itself; these wizards' self-modifications are truly cursed!
This is also why Mason chose The Kite Runner as a temporary partner
Mason! Did I rescue you just to have you stand there and watch the show?
The young people exclaimed in their hearts
Run! Behind you! Hurry!
The merciless flames propel the projectile forward, roaring as it burns, completely engulfing yet another soul tormented by nightmares
She is quite clever, as in the moment she charged forward, disregarding the pain in her body, she grabbed a brick nearby and threw it towards the passage behind her. That object exploded the moment it was infused with energy by the explosive woman and struck the gap in the passage.
Old K removed the large crossbow from his back and continuously shot with both hands at a safe distance
As she spoke, she walked towards the enormous corpse, seemingly intending to join in the plundering of the spoils. However, with a loud bang, a bullet shot out and accurately struck the ground beside the bomb girl.
sigh
Mason continued to gather the spoils without looking back
Thus, after a dizzying and tumultuous struggle, the Bombshell successfully made her way into the escape passage
Shall we take a moment to rest? Let's postpone any internal conflicts for now
swish
Fuck squid
He manipulates his kite like an artist, allowing himself to soar and dip gracefully through this complex terrain
Standing over 3 meters tall, it resembles a half-giant
The kite runner immediately understood after being kicked, he took a few steps back to sense the wind direction in this area, and then pressed the switch on his chest under Mason's sidelong gaze
Mason sensed something was amiss upon hearing this; was there a battle here as well? Moreover, it was enough to provoke the usually hypocritical and pretentious Old K to such a furious state.
However, Old K has now lifted the barrier of the platform. He whistled and waved to his team, then was the first to charge into the stone pillar before him
He has come to understand it clearly
That unfortunate fellow was almost slapped to death by the zombie Haige
The young man finally breathed a sigh of relief after the notification of the latter's complete demise lit up
Unlock Character Trait: Cold-Blooded Gunslinger: Proficiency in Headshot Executions Doubles
That withered golden hair must have been very beloved, and this little fellow is also referred to as a "stinky treasure" by certain parents, being a little darling who brings happiness to others in a certain happy family
She screamed to
One more minute!
As the way out was in sight, these two fellows were once again vying to rush in. The kite flyer maneuvered the kite down, glanced at Mason who remained in place, and shouted:
Just as Mason was about to remove the black mole skin coat from Hagrid, which was covered in bullet holes and burn marks, the person beside him finally understood what he was doing
The 2V2 confrontation seems to have been ignited as well
But this young man hit the target with all twenty shots!
The arrows that flew out were entwined with strange flashes of light, and the moment they struck their target, they would unleash blinding lightning, eerie cold ice, or explosive flames. With this magical attack, he had already blown apart the arm of the giant zombie
Compared to here, even Gotham City, known for its "simple and honest folk customs," appears so much sunnier
As for the kite runner
If she were not busy escaping at this moment, she would definitely blow this bastard in front of her to smithereens to relieve the hatred in her heart
Because he himself has traveled through time.
His story is actually quite tragic
In this team, only Lao K and Mason are the true pillars of support
Successfully completed an outstanding special exotic creature elimination, shooting skill proficiency increased by X20, currently at Lv2. Unlocks combat talent: Quick Draw.
With a whoosh, a large diamond-shaped kite sprang from his backpack behind him, and the lift generated by the wind direction propelled him into the air amidst cheers
But this disaster changed everything overnight
This good-natured giant has surprisingly turned into a zombie, and has become a variant zombie even more dangerous than the girl in the red dress at the external platform
After the latter fell to the ground, Mason threw out several flying bombs that caused a gruesome explosion of flesh and blood. Only then did he advance with his gun in hand, and under the watchful gaze of others who were panting, he drew the double-barreled pistol from his waist and fired two shots at the blood-splattered head.
It presents beautiful things before Mason, only to ruthlessly tear them apart, just like this severely decayed and distorted face before me, which no longer holds any innocence, leaving only desolation
When Mason's kill count reached 77, Old K, who had been busy breaking the barrier, threw a bottle of black liquid at the stone pillar without looking back and said
If they were to mix in Gotham, they would undoubtedly be regulars at Arkham.
Her hands began to entwine with the boiling energy, and the Dazzling Count also stood up, silently moving beside the Explosive Woman, casting her a glance that conveyed, "Although I just tricked you, such trivial matters need not be taken to heart; now we are on the same side"
The rhythmic gunfire echoed through the ruins of the train station's waiting hall, mingling with the chaotic cries of a horde of zombies and the continuous sounds of explosions
bang
However, Mason still recognized this guy's true identity at the first moment
The power of a single warhead of the explosive in the field of filling engineering at this distance is quite considerable
This world-class zombie disaster has nothing to do with the magical realm
Completely blow up the wall next to the entire obstacle, sealing off the path of the zombies entirely
The train will arrive in one hour. Would you prefer to settle this with a fight now, or wait until the train arrives and fight in the carriage? I am not rushing you, but if a fight is inevitable, I advise you to make haste.
After a few seconds, Old K coughed and said
The tense atmosphere made the light in the eyes of the explosive woman burn with even greater fury
The kite flyer, manipulating the kite, waved both hands in the air and shouted at the relieved explosion woman, who suddenly turned around and saw a strange red figure quickly climbing along the wall of the ruins
Although it is a soul transfer, this does not affect the sensitivity of young people towards the concept of "time travel". As Mason stepped through the "World Gate" opened by Old K, he felt an indescribable longing in his mind
At the moment the free aiming reticle locks on, the young man pulls the trigger
This is the first rule for dealing with zombies
bang
Most importantly, this fellow's forehead has already been crushed by Old K, and amidst the stench of decay, one can even see the shriveled and crimson brain matter as he crawls along in a staggering manner
As the shotgun was slung over his shoulder, the double-barreled shotgun was drawn out in one smooth motion, the bullets chambered and the muzzle raised. Mason looked at the approaching distorted figure with a gaze of compassion
It is roaring in retaliation
The young man pointed in another direction
Flames rise and burn
Surrounded by zombies and constantly bombarded, the exhausted Bomb Girl and the dizzy Count suddenly saw a possibility for breakthrough
This lightweight sniper rifle, which may not have an outstanding exterior but possesses a unique interior, feels substantial in hand. Each time Mason pulls the trigger from a distance of nearly 300 meters, the sight of a zombie's head exploding significantly enhances the sense of security for the onlooking kite flyers
At the moment Mason integrated into the stone pillar of the September three-quarters platform, a hint illuminated before his eyes
The wizards also appear to be victims of this disaster, and their situation is no better than that of the world outside, which has become a wasteland
Although the horde of corpses triggered by the bomb woman is coming from the front, this station, reduced to ruins, has no proper defenses, and scattered zombies are also approaching this area from the rear
Mason's acceptance of the concept of traversing worlds is significantly higher than that of the average person
It is draped in a blood-stained, foul-smelling black moleskin coat, which is covered in soiled blood, scorch marks, and bullet holes, as well as scars from sharp weapons and magical blasts
Mason grabbed the shotgun from behind and took a deep breath, raising the gun in a kneeling position
The disheveled bombshell opened her mouth to speak the essence of a foreign culture
That's enough, let them in! How many times have I said that teammates must be united
The free aiming reticle in the visual field flickered continuously, ultimately locking onto the exposed yet clearly healing, shriveled forehead of Haigena, followed by six consecutive shots, each hitting its mark
She appears to be only seven or eight years old, which is the most carefree time in a child's life
It must be super archery
Mason raised his gun and looked up at the vast, empty magical platform before him, where he saw Old K and his three companions engaged in battle with a gigantic monster
He said softly
The meaning represented by this action is quite clear
