The night wind pushed the dark gray clouds from the east, greedily devouring the few cold stars in the sky. Occasionally, a drop or two of rain fell, leaving a small dark spot on the dry cement floor.
Dazzling flashes tore through the distant sky, and roars followed one after another.
The surveillance probe had been taken down and smashed to pieces by Gu Lingxin. Although she had used [Swallow] to kill every infected person in the classroom, an even stronger fear was hanging over her.
The unknown enemy is more dangerous than thousands of infected people screaming to bite you.
"Click——"
The locked door opened.
The blazing flames were like a shark that jumped out of the water after staring at its prey underwater for a long time, rushing towards it at an extremely fast speed, but those ultra-high temperature flames quickly dissipated.
Gu Lingxin felt that her [Flame] had not become uncontrollable due to the increase in temperature or power. On the contrary, after the improvement of [Devouring] these days, her control became more precise and skillful, so that the person at the door had not yet Moving completely away, the flames disappeared under her control.
Is this what it feels like to become stronger? It's really amazing.
But now is not the time to think about this. At this moment, a handsome Awakened man carrying a huge modified sniper rifle who looked like he was coming to save her was almost set on fire by her.
"Official Awakener, Su Heng." The handsome guy nodded to her.
[Awakening Ability: Unsealing]
【Unseal】
【Levels of danger:? 】
"Su Heng!?"
A few days ago, Su Heng was escaping with her in the game world of Source City, and so soon he joined the official team and became an awakener to carry out missions?
No, Su Heng should have been an official, but he went to Yuan City for unknown purposes and got involved in that game.
Su Heng looked at Gu Lingxin staring at him with a complicated expression, as if she was distracted and not, and thought that if Messiah was here, he would be able to see something from her complicated expression. But he couldn't see anything, so he continued speaking in official language: "The situation here has changed. Please cooperate with us to kill the infected people in the school."
"Can you speak normally?"
Gu Ling glanced at the withered corpses on the ground with a guilty conscience. Did the "change" he mentioned refer to her breaking into the academic building and wandering around? I hope Su Heng's eyes are not that good. Under the cover of the night, those shriveled corpses are not conspicuous in the darkness.
Otherwise, if the official awakened people came across such a pile of corpses, she would definitely be arrested for biopsy.
"I mean... what a coincidence." Su Heng smiled.
"Have you just joined the official team of Awakeners, or are you already an official member?" Gu Lingxin asked her question.
"Let's call it the former." Su Heng said, "There is an infected person in this school who constantly evolves by absorbing the power of other infected people. Originally our mission was just to investigate, but my boss said that everyone is here. Just try and kill them."
The situation was roughly as she guessed, but Gu Lingxin quickly discovered a blind spot: "Boss?" Is it the man who spoke on Gu Yu's phone?
I hope they don’t forcefully [devour] it.
I don’t know if the official has correctly evaluated the power of [Swallow]. In addition to the infected, the power of the awakened can also be [swallowed].
Su Heng nodded, "Don't worry, he is very strong." After a brief thought, he added: "Probably as strong as three will-o'-the-wisps."
"?!" Gu Lingxin's eyes widened, "Then how can I cooperate?"
"When the infected person appears, contain it and I'll wait for the opportunity to kill it." Su Heng said lightly.
"...?" Gu Ling's heart was stunned for five seconds. Did this guy mean to ask her to confront the guy who even the official awakened people couldn't deal with, and then he would shoot the assassin behind to kill him?
Su Heng seemed to see a little emotion from Gu Lingxin's face this time, but only a little bit, so he added: "If you can use this improved firearm, I can also restrain it. ."
Gu Lingxin didn't know how to answer. At this moment, Gu Lingxin wished that [Re-enactment] had the function of checking the record and proficiency.
"You don't want to shoot me and take me back for slices..." she muttered softly.
"What?"
"It's nothing...I mean, aren't there two of you? Why am I going?" Gu Ling thought in her heart of the foreigner on the phone who spoke in Chinese with a broadcast accent in the library. He spoke so pretentiously, that guy should have a A very strong awakening ability, right?
Su Heng smiled softly. If it weren't for the urgent situation now, Gu Lingxin would really like to admire the handsome young man with dimples on his cheeks when he smiles. He had to sigh that the capital is indeed a capital, even the external conditions of the awakened ones are One level higher than Yuan City.
"Our original plan was for him to contain the Awakened Ones." Su Heng tapped the earphone in his right ear, "But something happened over there, so we have to ask you to take his place. Of course, if you really don't want to We don’t force it either.”
Something happened?
Gu Lingxin suddenly turned around and lay down by the window. The library was still brightly lit, but the lights in the entire dormitory building were out. Countless infected people gathered in front of the library door, hitting or scratching at the shaky door. Door.
The window she removed on the second floor seemed to have become a breakthrough, and some infected people actually climbed up the camphor tree and got in!
But then a golden head appeared in the window and threw out the infected people who had just crawled in. Sometimes what was thrown out was only a bloody head or a torso without limbs.
"Gu Yu!" Gu Lingxin still couldn't trust the official awakened person, so she wanted to go to the library to have a look, but then she thought, the guy who just stared at her in the monitoring room must want to "devour" her now, maybe , oh no, she must be on the way here already. She went to a crowded place just to let the guy eat a few more people.
"You and I will deal with the infected person together, but we have to be quick. Also, your accomplices have to protect the students there, especially my sister."
Is this how the word accomplice is used? Su Heng shrugged, took out a bright silver revolver and handed it to her: "I wish you good luck."
Can an ordinary pistol kill the [Swallowing] infected person? Gu Lingxin held the heavy revolver and was full of thoughts. She used to shoot small balloons with a plastic gun filled with BB bullets when she coaxed relatives' children to play at a stall in the night market. It cost ten yuan and twenty rounds. If all the bullets hit, the boss will be so distressed that he will give him a big doll.
But what she has to face may be a high-level infected person that may not be able to target even at 0.1x speed. That guy is not a small balloon. Its speed may be so fast that her arm will be torn off before she even raises the gun. And even if you get lucky, this gadget may not cause any substantial harm to an infected person of that level just like a plastic toy.
"This thing..." Gu Lingxin wanted to say something else, but Su Heng was no longer there at this time - maybe he had climbed to a high place and set up a sniper, waiting to pull the trigger.
