Chapter 5 Trial of Destiny

Chapter 5 · Trial of Fate

It is said that even a falling water cup can make people more alert than usual in the ears of people who have just heard a realistic ghost story. Because people's associative ability will always be repeatedly advanced in such strange places, and ghost stories are often more reliable than safety rules.

After all, the greatest fear of human beings always comes from the unknown - and among the many unknowns, the fear brought by things that are half-understood but have a definite threat is the heaviest.

Jiang Yu brought them a half-understanding, awakening the vigilance in their hearts, and the slight fear that has not yet risen to the surface of their emotions - when the sound of the metal falling reached the ears of several people, Matt's face turned pale, and the two mercenaries immediately raised their weapons.

"It's... that! Sound, it is very sensitive to sound!" Jiang Yu's voice was trembling - not pretending, because he was really scared when the time came. The medicine box made into a backpack was placed at his feet early instead of carrying it on his body. And he stood up suddenly, with obvious stiffness in his hands and feet.

Mental preparation is one thing, and physical preparation is another. Many people have the opportunity to dodge when a car accident occurs, but they are stiff on the spot because their bodies are not adapted to the dangerous environment, so that they are taken away by large and small cars like a puppet.

The mercenaries opened the safety of their weapons, and both of them chose powerful assault rifles instead of the small pistols when the zombies attacked in the plot. The male J.D took the responsibility of reconnaissance and took a step forward first, but when he took a step, Jiang Yu, who tried to control his body, was a little faster than him.

"I... go ahead, you keep an eye on me... be careful of sneak attacks."

Jiang Yu gritted his teeth. This decision seemed risky, but it was actually safest to take the initiative. Because he knew the intelligence of the licker, and knew that this biological weapon had a certain intelligence, at least it could distinguish between bait and threat targets.

——This licker just came out of the cold storage... its movement speed must not be fast enough. My goal is to make it reveal its flaws, and then let the mercenaries deal with it.

He didn't give J.D. a chance to refute, and strode forward with his back to the mercenaries. The two mercenaries looked at each other, looking at Jiang Yu as if he was a fool, but they no longer had the original vigilance, and even had a little more respect.

Ryan silently held a small cylinder in his hand, and J.D. followed Jiang Yu's steps. Matt slowly walked to the wall and stood in an open space with a good view. Jiang Yu was getting closer and closer to the place where the sound came from.

——I'm right! I have to do this! I want to do something that looks adventurous and passionate to ordinary people, and the information in my memory will not be wrong!

The heart was beating. In the game of Resident Evil, the hearing of the Licker was not enough to capture the human heartbeat, but it can be done in the movie setting. Jiang Yu gave up the plan to lurk in the pit, and chose to take a risk on the intelligence of the Licker setting.

——I'm right... The first target must not be me! I can do it, I won't die here.

Adrenaline is being secreted, and only he knows why he is so vigilant. He felt his temples throbbing constantly. The closer he got to the source of the sound, the more complicated emotions surged in his heart.

He wanted to run away, wanted to shout, wanted to sit down on the ground and wait for his fate, wanted to close his eyes and wait for others to come and save him.

He was regretting why he didn't go through the laser channel but came here to gamble on an uncertain fate. He regretted not hugging Zhang Jie's thighs at the beginning, regretting his behavior of testing the positive person instead of honestly playing Li Xiaoyi.

He had a lot of emotions, very mixed.

However, his feet were still moving forward.

- Damn, I must be crazy.

And the next moment, an empty container with its seal opened appeared in the eyes of him and JD behind him!

"Fuck!" It was JD who cursed, not him. And the next moment, the young mercenary pressed the micro-microphone hanging on the side of his ear. As a qualified mercenary group, he would naturally warn other teammates at the first time.

He shouldn't do this immediately - because this is a flaw.

The next moment, Lane's exclamation and the sound of firing came from behind.

"J.D!"

A flesh-red, lion-sized giant suddenly pounced down. And J.D. didn't even think about it, and rolled quickly to the front - the huge, cold body just brushed past his shoulder and hit the ground hard!

Licker.

The licker is not very agile, but has sharp claws and huge power. It was the first time that Jiang Yu came into contact with it in the real world, and the moment he saw it, he felt his hands and feet numb.

The ferocious mouth, blood-red muscles, sharp claws - and the huge power that was right in front of him and could crush him like potato chips at any time. All of this combined, he finally understood how great those warriors who dared to face life and death were.

Between life and death, there is great terror.

Time seemed to slow down - not the peak of mental power breakthrough, nor the plug-in such as opening the gene lock. It is simply a phenomenon of high mental concentration caused by a young man who thinks he is not afraid of death but is actually not as brave as he imagines when death is at hand and his brain tries its best to save itself.

He saw the muscles of the licker's upper body 'slowly' wriggling, saw the 'gradually widening' giant mouth, and the giant tongue in the mouth ready to go.

The passage of time became slow because of the high concentration brought by the fear of death.

At this moment, he knew the subsequent changes that the blood-red monster in front of him would bring.

——It is gathering strength... 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 after locking a target!

—— It is J.D. It is going to grab him with its tongue, penetrate him, and then use the force to fly over and bite him off!

The scene of J.D.'s body and head being separated seemed to appear in front of him, and Jiang Yu's heart relaxed for a moment. Because he found that he could still survive, and he was not the main target of this attack.

However, the next moment, the 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 can I be so despicable! ?

Anger turned into flowing fire, burning the nerves of the self-deprecating person. All calculations, plans, and self-justifications were turned into power under the burning of this flame.

The power to take actual action.

And the next moment, the hand used to protect himself has become a throwing shape, and a mass of things is thrown in the direction of the monster's head at this critical moment.

It is a mobile phone.

A college student who loves to read novels will never let it leave the mobile phone beside him.

It is activated synchronously with the tongue of the licker, but it is one step faster than the other and reaches their respective targets.

"Hey!" The roar in the blink of an eye can only be expressed in such a simple byte. And before the sharp tongue was about to penetrate J.D, who had not yet stood firm, and the latter showed the fear of death in his eyes, the thrown mobile phone hit the licker's forehead heavily.

‘Clang——’

The tongue flick pierced the iron plate. The blow that should have hit J.D.’s neck hit another refrigerator on the side because the licker’s head was slightly tilted. The next moment, the licker retracted his tongue and pointed his attack at the direction of Jiang Yu who was in the way.

The sequelae of the power explosion have arrived. At this moment, Jiang Yu is no longer able to avoid it. He can only watch the licker’s muscles contract and exert force, and his next fate is to become broken slag.

I’m going to die.

Jiang Yu once thought that he would have a lot of thoughts before he died. He would recall his life and regret or make a frank evaluation of everything he had in the past.

However, when death was imminent. He found that his brain was just blank, there was no last words at all, and no special ideas.

The only thing he had time to do was to close his eyes.

‘Buzz——! ! ! ’

It was right to close his eyes, because the impact of the sound wave arrived immediately. His ears immediately started ringing, and his entire brain and thoughts were only roaring and exploding.

Stun grenade.

Before the action, Lane held a special combat stun grenade in her hand. She listened to Jiang Yu's words and did better - Lickers with overly sensitive hearing are naturally more likely to be traumatized by sound waves. And perhaps it was Jiang Yu's act of throwing out the phone that reminded her that this stun grenade also exploded on the top of the Licker's head.

'Da Da Da——'

'Bang Bang Bang——'

The Licker, who was knocked to the ground by the stun grenade and unable to roll like a dehydrated fish, got two empty rifle magazines.

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 tried, and then the hand lifted him up. His vision gradually became clear, and he looked at the owner of the hand, whose eyes were filled with fear and gratitude.

"Dude, I owe you one." J.D. patted him on the shoulder.

Then, without avoiding suspicion, he connected the internal communication channel of the mercenaries in front of him.

"Captain, this is J.D. We have encountered some problems, big problems..."

He reported to the still alive Matthew Addison.

At this moment, Jiang Yu didn'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 announcement of the Lord God also sounded in his ears.
