Chapter 5·Trial of Destiny
It is said that for someone who has just heard a realistic ghost story, even a dropped water glass can make him more vigilant than usual. Because people's ability to associate will always improve in such strange places, and ghost stories are often more reliable than safety rules.
After all, human beings' greatest fear always comes from the unknown - and among the many unknowns, things that are half-understood but have definite threats bring the heaviest fear.
Jiang Yu brought them a little knowledge, awakening the vigilance in their hearts, as well as the slight fear that had not yet risen to the emotional surface - when the sound of the metal falling reached several people's ears, Matt's face suddenly changed. Turning white, the two mercenaries immediately raised their weapons.
"Yes... that's that! Sound, it's very sensitive to sound!" Jiang Yu's voice was trembling - it wasn't a disguise, because he was really scared when things came to pass. The medicine box turned into a backpack had long been placed at his feet instead of being carried on him. And he stood up suddenly, his hands and feet obviously stiff.
Mental preparation is one thing, but physical preparation is another. There are many people who clearly had the opportunity to dodge when a car accident came, but because their bodies were not adapted to the critical environment, they froze on the spot, so that they were like puppets and were taken away by large cars and small cars.
The mercenaries turned on their weapon safety, and both of them chose powerful assault rifles instead of the small pistols used when the zombies came in the plot. The male J.D took the responsibility of investigating and took the first step forward. However, when he took steps, Jiang Yu, who tried hard to control his body, was a little faster than him.
"I...go ahead, you guys keep an eye on me...be careful of sneak attacks."
Jiang Yu gritted his teeth. This decision seemed risky, but in fact it was safest to take the initiative. Because he knew the Licker's intelligence and knew that this biological weapon had certain intelligence and could at least distinguish between bait and threatening targets.
- This licker just came out of cold storage...it definitely wasn't moving fast enough. My purpose is to expose its flaws and let the mercenaries take care of it.
He didn't give J.D a chance to retort, and just turned his back on the mercenaries and strode forward. The two mercenaries looked at each other, looking at Jiang Yu a bit like looking at an idiot, but they lost their original vigilance and showed a little more respect.
Ryan silently held a small cylinder in his hand, while J.D followed Jiang Yu's steps. Matt walked slowly to the wall and stood in an open space with a good view. And Jiang Yu was getting closer and closer to the place where the voice came from.
--I am right! I have to do it! I'm going to make a move that would seem risky and passionate to ordinary people, and the information in my memory will not be wrong!
The heart is beating loudly. In the Resident Evil game, the licker's hearing is not enough to capture the human heartbeat, but it can be done in the movie setting. Therefore, Jiang Yu gave up her plan to lurk in the pit, and instead chose to take a risk and gamble on the intelligence of the Licker setting.
——I'm right...the first target is definitely not me! I can definitely do it, I won't die here.
Adrenaline was secreting, and only he knew why he was so vigilant. He felt that his temples were beating constantly. The closer he got to the source of the sound, the more complex emotions surged in his heart.
He wanted to run away, to yell, to sit down on the ground and wait for his fate, to close his eyes and wait for others to come and save him.
He was regretting why he didn't go through the laser tunnel but came here to gamble on an uncertain fate. I regret that I didn't hug Zhang Jie's thigh at the beginning, and regret that I tried to test the positive person instead of playing Li Xiaoyi honestly.
He has a lot of mixed emotions.
Yet, his feet kept moving forward.
- Damn it, I must be crazy.
And the next moment, an empty container with its seal opened appeared in front of him and J.D behind him!
"Fuck!" It was J.D who cursed, not him. The next moment, the young mercenary pressed the miniature microphone hanging on his ear. As a qualified mercenary group, he would naturally warn other teammates as soon as possible.
He shouldn't have done it right away - it was a flaw.
The next moment, Lane's exclamation and the sound of firing were heard from behind.
"J.D.!"
A flesh-red giant beast as big as a lion suddenly pounced down. And J.D didn't even think about it, he quickly rolled forward - the huge figure with air-conditioning lingering all over his body just brushed past his shoulder and hit the ground hard!
Licker.
Lickers are not very agile, but have sharp claws and huge strength. This was the first time Jiang Yu came into contact with it in the real world environment, and the moment he saw it, he only felt his hands and feet numb.
The ferocious huge mouth, blood-red muscles, sharp claws - and the huge power that is right in front of you, can crush you like potato chips at any time. Putting all this together, he finally understood how great those warriors who dared to face life and death were.
Between life and death, there is great terror.
Time seems to have slowed down - it's not that the mental power has reached its peak, nor is it the activation of gene locks or other cheats. It is simply a phenomenon of high concentration caused by a young man who thinks he is not afraid of death but is actually far less brave than he imagined. When death is very close, his brain tries his best to save himself.
He saw the muscles of the licker's upper body moving 'slowly', the huge mouth 'gradually opening', and the giant tongue in the mouth ready to go.
Time passes slowly because of the intense concentration brought about by the fear of death.
At this moment, he knew the subsequent changes that the blood-red monster in front of him would bring about.
——It is gathering momentum...it is going to spit out its tongue! Is it me? No...this position is not...it has no vision, and it will not change easily if it locks on a target!
——It's J.D. It wants to grab him with its tongue, penetrate him, and then use its strength to fly over and bite him!
The scene of J.D's body and head being separated seemed to appear before his eyes, and Jiang Yu felt relieved. Because he found that he could still survive and that he was not the main target of the attack.
However, the next moment, relaxation turned into anger. A sound like thunder echoed in his brain.
——I used him to help me block the gun, and now I have to watch him die! ?
——How could I be so despicable! ?
Anger turns into flowing fire, burning the nerves of those who feel ashamed. All calculations, plans, and self-justifications were turned into power under the ablation of this flame.
The power to take practical action.
The next moment, the hand used to protect himself had turned into a throwing shape, and a ball of mass was thrown in the direction of the monster's head in this unforgettable moment.
It's a mobile phone.
A college student who loves reading novels will never let it go away from the mobile phone beside him.
It fired simultaneously with the licker's tongue, but one step faster than the other, reaching their respective targets.
"Hey!" The roar in the lightning could only be expressed with such a simple byte. And the moment before the sharp tongue was about to penetrate J.D, who had not yet regained his balance, and the fear of death appeared in his eyes, the thrown mobile phone hit the licker hard on the forehead.
‘Bangdang——’
The flick tongue hit the iron plate, and the blow that was supposed to hit J.D's neck hit another refrigerator nearby because of the slight tilt of the licker's head. The next moment, the licker withdrew his tongue and pointed the attack target in the direction of Jiang Yu who was in the way.
The aftermath of the burst of power has arrived, and at this moment Jiang Yu is unable to avoid it. He could only watch the licker's muscles contract and exert force, and his next fate was to become a broken slag.
dying.
Jiang Yu once thought that he would have many ideas before he died. He will recall his life and make regrets or calm evaluations of everything he has done in the past.
However, when death comes. He found that his mind was just blank, with no last words or any special thoughts at all.
The only thing he had time to do was to close his eyes.
‘Buzz—! ! ! ’
Closing your eyes was the right thing to do, because the onslaught of sound waves was about to arrive. His ears immediately began to buzz, and his entire brain and thinking were nothing but roaring and exploding sounds.
Shock bomb.
The special battle shock bomb that Ren held in her hand before taking action. She listened to Jiang Yu's words and did better - lickers with overly sensitive hearing are naturally more susceptible to sound wave trauma. And perhaps it was Jiang Yu's behavior of throwing out the phone that reminded her that this shock bomb also exploded on the Licker's head.
'Da da da--'
‘Bah, bah, bah—’
The Licker, who was knocked to the ground by the concussive bomb and unable to roll like a dehydrated fish, obtained two empty rifle magazines.
And when Jiang Yu rubbed his eyes and regained consciousness, he only saw a bloody mass, trembling and twitching on the ground not far away. At the same time, a hand held his palm.
"Can you stand up?" J.D's voice.
Jiang Yu gave it a try, and then the hand lifted him up. His vision gradually became clearer, and he looked at the owner of the hand, whose eyes were filled with fear and gratitude.
"Man, I owe you one." J.D tapped him hard on the shoulder.
Then he didn't shy away from suspicion and opened the mercenary's internal communication channel right in front of him.
"Captain, this is J.D. We have encountered some situations, big situations..."
He reports back to Matthew Addison, who is still alive.
But at this moment, Jiang Yu couldn't care about him at all - because at this moment, a ball of light that he thought only Zheng Zha would encounter appeared in front of him. And when he touched it subconsciously, the Lord God's announcement also sounded in his ears.
