"The Ghost Squad only arrived here three years ago." Widow shared a secret with the three of them.
Her ex-husband had helped the Ghost Squad maneuver and lay low. Rumor had it that they had co here for a specific target.
"They ca here to lay low three years in advance?" Hunter looked slightly startled. A three-year-long deep cover ant their target was definitely not simple.
Clatter-clatter!
Another round object rolled out from the corner, but this ti, it was not a human head.
"Bomb!"
Accompanied by a piercing hum, their eyes widened as a burst of grayish-white smoke spewed out. It spread at an incredible speed, covering a radius of tens of ters and continuing to expand.
The grayish-white smoke not only obscured their vision but also emitted intense heat, raising the ambient temperature.
Li Yu felt a jolt of alarm and instinctively rolled to the side. This was aid right at him.
This high-temperature smoke bomb heated everything in the vicinity, effectively neutralizing infrared scans.
His sniper rifle was now reduced to a re prop, completely useless.
The smoke stubbornly lingered. Li Yu raised his hands, barely able to see them unless they were right in front of his eyes.
'What about them!'
'How are they locating their enemies?'
'Vision is already obstructed... could it be sound?'
He was not the only one; the other three had thought of this as well. Ten seconds had passed since the sudden shift in the situation, yet Widow, Hunter, and Mo Duo remained completely silent.
It was dead quiet, without the slightest noise.
Clink!
Not far away, a crisp sound suddenly rang out. It sounded like glass clinking together, which seed extrely abrupt in this setting.
Li Yu narrowed his eyes. 'Who?'
'Who is testing the waters?'
He believed that the other three would not be so foolish. The only possibility was that soone was testing whether the enemy relied on sound to determine their positions.
However, the area remained in utter silence. A short while later, another crisp clink rang out.
This caused Li Yu's expression to darken. The glass was still in the sa place, untouched by anyone. If the sound had changed locations this ti, it would prove the enemy was using echolocation.
But the location had not changed, indicating the enemy had not made a move.
That left the absolute worst-case scenario. The enemy's technology far surpassed theirs, perhaps utilizing magnetic energy waves, or perhaps sonar.
The smoke behind him gently parted.
"Hello... and goodbye!"
An icy voice ca from behind his head, accompanied by sothing thick and hard pressing against his skull.
'When did he...' His pupils dilated as he instinctively pressed the blue button on his chest. A blue barrier instantly covered his entire body.
Almost simultaneously, a deafening roar accompanied a terrifying impact from the back of his head. The blue barrier twisted and warped violently.
The intense force made him stumble, but he used the montum to execute a forward roll. Relying on his mory, he sprinted toward the periter.
"You cannot escape!"
From behind ca the heavy grinding of armor and booming footsteps. Every obstacle in the way was blasted apart. The enemy was heavily ard and wearing combat armor!
'Damn it!'
He cursed inwardly. 'The Ghost Squad! Why would they suddenly co after ?'
Bang!
Throwing open the sheet tal door, Li Yu darted inside. This makeshift house that Old Lu had welded together from scrap tal beca his final sanctuary.
Outside the sheet tal door, a shadow slowly erged from the gray fog, wisps of smoke swirling around its form.
The figure wore grayish-white combat armor and a seamlessly sealed helt. Standing over two ters tall, he gripped an azure assault rifle in his hands.
He raised his foot as the kinetic modules rapidly spooled up. Boom!
The sheet tal door was blasted to pieces. Inside the cramped room, Li Yu was sitting on a swivel chair scavenged from who knew where, holding an old loudspeaker in his hands.
A cold smirk crept onto his face. "Claptrap! At the front door, open fire!"
His voice was amplified dozens of tis through the old loudspeaker, instantly carrying far into the distance.
He had no walkie-talkie and no remote connection devices. After all, in a place like this, such equipnt was far too luxurious.
But... children's toys were available in endless supply.
In the distance, hidden within a garbage pile and staring at the wash of red in its scope, Claptrap was waiting anxiously.
It had no idea what was happening to its master.
However, upon hearing that familiar voice suddenly boom out, its singular eye instantly flared a bloody red. It took less than a second to shift the barrel and pull the trigger.
After all, as an intelligent robot, the topological model of the area surrounding the tin hut was quite literally etched into its hard drive.
The mont the amplified voice echoed out, the armored man had already realized sothing was wrong.
Unfortunately for him, he had just raised his foot to kick down the door, leaving him completely unable to shift his position in such a short window of ti.
Just as he planted his foot down and prepared to retreat, a magnetic kinetic bullet capable of tearing through anything smashed directly into his chest. It ripped away large chunks of flesh and armor before exiting through his back.
He staggered backward, his trembling arms raising the assault rifle to aim at Li Yu. His fingers twitched uncontrollably as he desperately tried to pull the trigger.
But in the end, he collapsed, kicking up a massive cloud of dust as blood spilled endlessly from beneath his body.
Thud!
A muffled crash echoed from outside. Li Yu furrowed his brows. 'Who was that? Widow? Hunter? Or... Mo Duo...'
But right at that mont, Li Yu's pupils quivered slightly as he noticed sothing incredible. A new system log had refreshed!
With the blue barrier still flickering around his body, he opened the system, and a massive wall of text materialized.
[Day 3: Captured by the Umbrella Corporation, you had the honor of becoming a test subject. During the process, you shalessly fawned over the Umbrella Corporation and proposed things like the Tyrant Project, the Clone Alice Project, and the Wesker Project...]
[The Umbrella Corporation ticulously recorded your suggestions and prepared to transform you into a Tyrant. The T-Virus began to erode your body. Your consciousness dissipated, and you were judged as deceased.]
Li Yu narrowed his eyes. 'Motherfucker, what a cowardly piece of trash. To actually suck up to Umbrella like that... serves you right!'
He had completely condemned this so-called Act Randomly talent to the darkest corner of his mind. He was never going to use that talent ever again.
[Obtained White Title - Eternal Howrecker: Increased interest in married won.]
[Obtained Green Title - Plot Disruptor: As soone intimately familiar with the plot, you dislike the feeling of omniscience and will do your utmost to derail the storyline.]
[Obtained Normal Talent - The Infected - Gold: Gold talents can buff the main body. The Resident Evil virus series enhancents are permanently increased by one tier.]
[Slain key Boss Licker. Obtained T-Virus Stable Enhancent Potion (E). Can strengthen the host to E-rank. Due to enhanced safety and the removal of mutagenic properties, there is zero probability of evolving telekinesis.]
[Survival Milestone Reward - Three Days: Zombie Dog - The virus cannot adapt to the Main World and is non-contagious (F ).]
[Avatar recovered. Cooldown ti: 12 hours...]
A massive block of text filled Li Yu's vision. Even though idiotic titles like [Eternal Howrecker] and [Plot Disruptor] left him feeling thoroughly annoyed...
...there was also an incredibly useful talent like [The Infected], which could directly boost his main body.
And most crucially, there was the T-Virus Stable Enhancent Potion. That womanizing Avatar had actually managed to do a good deed while trying to show off.
Overall, the harvest this ti was far greater than his last seven-day detention tour in the Transforrs World.
More importantly... given his current predicant, he had to offer a word of praise: 'What a perfect ti to die! As expected of myself!'
He pulled out a syringe glowing with an eerie green liquid. At the sa ti, he equipped [The Infected] via the system interface. This talent was outlined in a golden rim, making it look exceptionally extraordinary.
Without any hesitation, he stabbed the injectable agent into his vein and pushed the plunger all the way down!
