Bang~
Tat-tat~
Listening to the gunfire and pistol shots, Gu Shanhai was numbed; it was merely a step slower, and they had already opened fire.
With such a commotion, he guessed that it had already turned into a pile of mush by now.
"What on earth, what is it?" After finally squeezing in, Gu Shanhai looked at the patient on the floor, mangled beyond human recognition, not yet completely dead, still squirming even with a blown-open head.
The four teammates watched Gu Shanhai's excited actions and felt that this member was too erratic.
"Such vitality, to not be dead even in this state, let me have a look." Gu Shanhai said, taking out a short knife from his bosom and squatting down, ready to dissect it and see.
However, the blade stopped on its skin; the monster seemed to be stimulated by something, with a large amount of flesh sprouting incessantly and its body inflating.
Even the bullets that had entered its body were being squeezed out.
"It has a second form, this thing is kind of interesting," Gu Shanhai slapped it across.
In an instant, a large hole was blown out of the body of the monster, and an intense stench swept through the entire hospital corridor.
"Gross~" As a woman, Luo Sheng Gate immediately had a reaction, and if she hadn't stopped herself in time, she might have thrown up all over Qingcheng White Fox in front of her.
The remaining three also had a rough time, the smell was assaulting their brains.
And Gu Shanhai, who was closest, also had a face twitching, in his previous life he indeed wasn't bothered, but the problem was that his current body wasn't quite up to it; he really hadn't smelled such a thing in this life, the body had no immunity.
"Hey, you dark thing, look at my great fire..."
Boom~
Gu Shanhai had just concentrated a Fireball Technique improved from the Red Flame Talisman, not even waiting to throw it, the entire corridor exploded.
The force was not small, the five-man player team was directly blasted head-on, and the monster was even more miserable, its whole body was enveloped in flames and was quickly burned to a cinder, at an unbelievably fast rate, almost like a flammable material.
"Cough, is everyone okay?" Gu Shanhai shouted, hoping none had been taken out.
Otherwise, he'd be facing the great horror alone.
"Bro, where did you learn that Fireball Technique from? Isn't the power a bit off?" Qingcheng White Fox touched the blackened spot on her face and asked with a hint of speechlessness.
The damage wasn't significant, but the commotion was really something.
"Actually, my Fireball Technique hadn't even exploded yet..." Gu Shanhai said somewhat speechlessly; yes, the fireball was still in his hand.
"Then what just exploded?" Luo Sheng Gate was tidying her hair, feeling that the Qingcheng trio could be reliable, but this **** player seemed capable of not only harming the enemy but also the team.
The expressions on the Qingcheng trio were a bit strange; what could have exploded but that monster's body fermented something akin to marsh gas, although the power wasn't as big as a marsh gas explosion, it matched the noise.
Of course, it might not be marsh gas, perhaps it was a fart...
But they didn't dare say it because they were worried about how the female player would react if she had a breakdown and exited the instance.
"Cough, let's not talk about that, the explosion just now didn't do much damage, and it helped us take care of a monster. Everyone received their reward, let's keep moving," Qingcheng Ziyin hurriedly said, fearing Gu Shanhai would prematurely blurt out the truth.
As long as their teammate wasn't truly a liability, they actually preferred having more people, after all, the more the merrier. It was still only the early stage of the game.
```
"Is there a possibility that this monster is one of the thousand cured civilians?" Gu Shanhai suddenly said.
"..."×4
Did this mean they still had to be bombed nine hundred and ninety-nine more times...
The damage wasn't significant, but the insult was profound. Currently, it seemed the only way to kill these monsters was to burn them after they transformed, however, that foul smell would explode upon contact with fire.
"It shouldn't be the case, after all..."
"Do you think this clue is a joke?" Gu Shanhai looked at Qingcheng White Fox, who had stopped mid-sentence, and then continued, "So I suggest we split up. Later on..."
"Bro, have you ever watched a horror movie?" Qingcheng Red Colt interrupted Gu Shanhai.
"Yeah, I have. What about it?"
"Then you still want to split up? What if we're picked off one by one? In a suspenseful instance like this, the last thing you want to do is split up."
Hearing Qingcheng Red Colt's words, Gu Shanhai fell silent too.
"You make a good... Holy shit..." Gu Shanhai agreed with Qingcheng Red Colt, but it seemed like the monster didn't.
In the middle of his speech, a shadow suddenly dropped from the ceiling, abducting Qingcheng Red Colt in an instant with unimaginable speed.
Such a big living person was grabbed right under their noses, and the speed was so fast that it was clear the creature was much stronger than the mere appetizer they had encountered before.
"Hurry up and rescue him! What are you staring at? What if the monster uses him as an RBQ breeding ground and he falls into degradation?" Gu Shanhai hurriedly reminded them.
These people were obviously new to the mid-tier area; the sudden increase in difficulty was somewhat overwhelming for them.
"Although I don't want to say it, this kind generally doesn't choose males unless it's a monster girl," Luo Sheng Gate scoffed at Gu Shanhai's speculation.
Qingcheng White Fox and Qingcheng Ziyin were both stunned. To them, the worst situation was just death. But to these two teammates, the potential outcome seemed... a bit more stimulating.
"Men aren't impossible, from my experience..." Gu Shanhai began, but then cut himself off, "Never mind that, shouldn't we still go and save him even if it's not for breeding? If we're too late, he'll be... gone?"
*Plop...*
A head had just fallen from a hole in the ceiling; the enraged and wide-eyed look on the face suggested a severe shock before death.
Teammate -1.
In horror and puzzle instances, a player's death doesn't result in disappearance; they leave behind a body or some parts.
Luckily, the group was reactive enough to immediately run away to avoid being dragged off by the monster.
They could hear rustling noises from the ceiling, clearly the monster was following them.
"I just want to know, shouldn't there be reinforced concrete above us? How does this thing manage to move through it?" Gu Shanhai complained while running.
"Big brother, can you not talk anymore? Every time you open your mouth, something bad happens to us," complained Luo Sheng Gate, finding Gu Shanhai to really be a jinx.
"I'm just stating facts here. If the monster hollowed everything out inside, doesn't that mean this hospital is actually a dangerous building, liable to collapse at any moment?" Gu Shanhai added another line.
"!!!"×3
All three of them were shocked. Come to think of it, it was indeed possible. Otherwise, with the speed of the digging, given the monster's ability, it could just have jumped down and confronted them head-on. Why bother with tunnels?
Therefore, it was more likely that these tunnels were pre-dug.
