"No, stop—"
Sorian's attempt to stop him was drowned out by the sound of pouring gunfire.
The situation got out of control in an instant, and blue beams from plasma guns and electromagnetic pulse guns kept flashing in the hall.
More lighting fixtures were broken, and the light became extremely dim.
The mercenaries responded quickly, but the target they were shooting at was not another creature but "Number One".
"Number One" seemed to have disappeared directly - and the next second, its huge and ferocious body appeared above the mercenary's head. Its movements were light and smooth, like a cat in the shadows.
The pair of eyes that looked no different from human eyes have now revealed their true appearance. The film used for mimicry has turned over to the inside of the eyelids, revealing the bright scarlet compound eyes underneath.
"Up there!"
An experienced mercenary immediately noticed the bloody shadow thrown above his head. He screamed and threw a small high-explosive bomb directly at it.
"boom-"
This time, the dazzling and scorching white light finally touched the shadowy figure of "No. 1".
"Number One" felt a slight pain.
In its view, human movements were incredibly slow, but the power of the high-explosive bomb was a little beyond its expectations, and the wings it had evolved to please Lin Xi were a little cumbersome for it, which had already transformed into an adult. It was also because of these reasons that a large part of the wing of "No. 1" was burned off by the high-temperature flames of the high-explosive bomb.
Of course, this did not affect the actions of "No. 1". However, when he found that his wings, which were already somewhat pitted, were once again stained with dark burn marks, the bloodthirsty instinct that had been forcibly suppressed before was instantly aroused.
“Hiss—”
A high-frequency scream burst out from inside the body of "No. 1". To the mercenaries below, it was just that "No. 1"'s body flashed.
Then, the terrifying monster leaped down with its extremely sharp forelimbs, and in an instant, the bodies of several mercenaries were torn apart.
The corpses of their companions instantly made the remaining mercenaries' eyes red with anger. Having had many years of cooperation experience, they swiftly turned their guns and fired at "No. 1" who "flashed" from time to time. However, as time went on, mercenaries suddenly fell to the ground without warning almost every few seconds. There were even wailings in their throats, but their bodies were shattered directly.
"It looks like the negotiations broke down."
On the other side, seeing the hall suddenly turned into a bloody rain, Alyssa and Bryce made a prompt decision and dragged Lin Xi to an inconspicuous corner.
They didn't expect the mad "No. 1" to stop killing, let alone the frightened mercenaries.
From the moment the mercenaries started shooting at "Number One", the situation had already taken a turn for the worst.
Just when Lin Xi and the other two thought that things couldn't get any worse, an errant bullet caused everything to completely collapse.
It was a blue light that suddenly appeared in the shadows.
A very unremarkable ion bullet.
It looked no different from the energy beams flying around the hall, but what was surprising was that the direction of the bullet was actually straight towards Lin Xi.
It was at that moment that Alyssa, who was originally hunched over beside Lin Xi and trying to find the result, suddenly felt her heart tighten.
Alyssa's intuition kicked in at that moment—she had never had such a strong premonition before.
In a flash, she suddenly hugged Lin Xi and fell to one side. It was not until the terrible pain came from her left rib that she vaguely realized what she had done.
The bullet that should have pierced Lin Xi's heart now pierced Alyssa's body.
"Well-"
Alyssa groaned in pain, and then her body went limp in an instant.
“Alyssa?!”
"Oh my god—what happened?!"
Lin Xi and Bryce immediately realized something was wrong.
Alyssa gasped, and she tried to comfort the two men around her that everything was fine, but the blood that kept flowing out of her body told it all.
“Oh… no… no…”
Lin Xi was the first to feel the ominous wetness.
He hugged Alyssa carefully. The lights in the hall were very dim at this time, but strangely, Lin Xi found that he could see everything around him extremely clearly.
For example, Alyssa's cheeks in his arms instantly lost their color.
For example, the expanding wet marks on Alyssa's clothes.
Like... the blood in his palms.
Time... suddenly became very slow.
It was as if everything around him was just an old videotape, and an invisible hand suddenly pressed the slow-down button.
Lin Xi could see Bryce trembling beside him. He knelt beside Alyssa and took out a first aid kit from his pocket. But his movements were too slow. The drop of sweat hanging on the tip of his nose was condensed there, motionless.
And Alyssa, she just lay on her back in his arms, her pupils dilated like deep wells, without any spirit in them. Her lips were slightly parted, as if she wanted to say something.
But Lin Xi couldn't hear anything...
Then, Lin Xi slowly raised his head and looked accurately in the direction where the bullet came from.
Sorian was standing there. There should have been a thick shadow where he was, but Lin Xi could see him.
See it very clearly.
"Soryan's" face was ashen, but his eyes were strangely empty. Blood was gushing out of his nose and ears, but he had not yet had time to retract his hand holding the gun.
That's not Sorian, that's Haunted... Scripps Eden.
Lin Xi looked at him from a distance, separated by bullets and corpses.
I'm sorry, but you have to die.
Even though they were so far away, Lin Xi still heard the hoarse, ethereal and emotionless whisper.
I'm going to kill him—
Lin Xi heard a voice in her body whispering.
And that whisper soon turned into a deafening roar.
I'm gonna kill him kill him kill him kill him—
Lin Xi's eyes suddenly turned blood red.
"Hiss—hiss—"
The mercenaries who were struggling to fight against the terrifying demon-like monster suddenly heard the high-pitched and sharp chirping of insects.
At first they thought that this was the monster's protest against them.
But the next moment they realized that this was not the case. The hissing came from the other side of the hall.
It was those companions who were tied here by them and had already become alienated that screamed in unison.
Before this, due to the various drugs randomly injected into their bodies and the long-term binding, they were already dying and barely moved, but at this moment, they suddenly became extremely active.
They began to transform at a speed visible to the naked eye. The monsters, which originally had some human outlines, completed all the changes in an instant - insect shells and fangs were squeezed out directly from under the skin, and human faces were distorted and deformed, and finally replaced by bizarre insect faces.
“Hiss—hiss—”
With increasingly high-pitched and sharp screams, those huge monsters only needed to shake their bodies, and the originally extremely strong shackles and ropes fell apart in an instant.
And the next second, the insects' eyes, glowing slightly in the dark, all focused on the human mercenaries who were resisting stubbornly.
Number One stopped what he was doing.
It tilted its head and looked at these new fellows, then suddenly turned its head to look at Lin Xi not far away.
Lin Xi's face was so white that it seemed transparent, his eyes were somewhat empty, and fine beads of sweat had already soaked his clothes.
A high-frequency insect sound that is completely inaudible to humans is coming out from his slightly opened lips—
Then, the newly born Zerg began to move, gathering together with the rustling sound of limbs scraping on the metal ground, and then rushed towards the mammals with soft fillings and rich juices.
“Ahh—”
Soon, continuous screams were heard from the human side.
The gunshots continued for a while at first, but soon became sparse.
The area covered by the swarm of insects was already a hell on earth. However, for the three people in the other corner of the hall, everything around them had long since become unimportant.
"Alyssa, hold on, it's okay... It's okay, it's not a serious wound... We just need to stop the bleeding first..."
Bryce kept taking out hemostatic foam from the first aid kit. He kept spraying healing spray and hemostatic foam on Alyssa's wound, but those drugs could only last for a short while before being washed away by the continuous flow of blood.
"I feel a little dizzy."
Alyssa murmured to Bryce.
Perhaps because of the blood loss, her voice became much softer than usual... even with a hint of coquettishness.
"Because you bleed a lot, but it's okay, you can have a good sleep after I take care of your wound, but now you have to hold on, okay, baby, my good girl, you can do it..."
Bryce threw away the last empty bottle of hemostatic foam and covered Alyssa's wound with his hand.
He didn't notice at all that he was already crying when he spoke.
“… I’m so tired… I haven’t had a good sleep for a long time…”
Alyssa’s voice gradually weakened.
“Alyssa.”
Lin Xi lowered his head and stared at the weak woman in his arms through the blood-red vision.
A severe headache made his vision blurry.
His heart was beating fast, but his soul seemed to have been pulled out of his body.
The strong smell of blood on Alyssa's body was like some kind of activator. The uncontrollable desire for brutality and killing was gnawing at his nerves bit by bit.
"… do not die."
Lin Xi heard herself say this to Alyssa.
The author has something to say: This chapter needs to be revised...
Let me hesitate for a moment whether to send lunch orz hold my head...
