Section 26 Fireball
"What does this mean? Could it be..."
Chen Zhang was only half of the question. Because he suddenly discovered that Lei Cheng, who was standing in the same straight line with him, was aiming the assault rifle in his hand at his body with high end, as if he was aiming at a man-eating monster.
"No, their goal is not me. The real goal... should be behind me?"
Chen Zhang, who figured out the key, was suddenly shocked and sweated. He subconsciously turned around and aimed the weapon in his hand behind him.
Just in the corner of the ruins less than fifty meters away, a girl who was only about one meter tall and wearing a gray-white robe was staring at the people in front of her with a dull expression.
If it were normal, Lei Cheng and the other two would not have such hostile actions. However, the strange aura emitted from this girl was really unpredictable to treat it as an ordinary child.
It seems that the girl is only three or four years old. However, the gloom and indifference on her pale face are really incompatible with her actual age. Especially the slightly white and empty eyes, it makes her look like a dead soul coming from the deepest part of hell.
It was almost noon, and the hot sun was hanging in the air. However, the three soldiers holding guns only felt the backs wrapped in protective suits were chilling. The faint cool air caused by fear made their arms holding guns tremble slightly.
There was still a bright red color on the corner of the girl's mouth. It was so conspicuous under the dazzling sunshine and pale skin. The feet, which were covered by the gray cloth robe, were slowly moving towards the front in an extremely hidden way.
"Don't come over, go forward any further, I, I'm going to shoot--"
Chen Zhang raised his muzzle in panic, and the sight star also stared at the girl's forehead. However, the other party seemed not afraid of such a move at all. He still slowly shortened the not-so-long distance between them step by step.
Having said that, Chen Zhang couldn't do anything at all. Although the other party's movements were extremely strange, no matter what, from the appearance, he was just a little girl who was still a child.
"Silly, go away."
Just when Chen Zhang was at a loss and didn't know what to do for a moment, Lei Cheng had already rushed over from the side. He used a huge impact force to knock him diagonally out of several meters away. The roar from his mouth and the noise from the bullets penetrated into Chen Zhang's ears almost at the same time.
"You idiot, can't you see that? She's just a dead person."
"dead?"
Chen Zhang was shocked and couldn't help but turn his head and look in the direction opposite the gun. He saw the girl who was punched in the gray cloth robe, still moving her steps forward step by step. This fatal injury seemed to have no effect on her at all.
"Hao—"
A crisp gunshot sound came from Yan Rui's standing position, and a fist-sized crack was blown out on the girl's cheeks, which was not at all blood. Through the broken skin and muscles, the bones and other body tissues buried deep under it could be seen.
This shot used a Dam bullet with a huge lethality. Although it hit the head accurately, it did not create an obvious effect as the launcher expected. This also made Yan Rui's forehead surprised, and a few drops of tiny beads of sweat oozing out.
Not only her, but also Lei Cheng and Chen Zhang were stunned by this result.
This was the first time they saw such a monster that could not be killed even if it hits the head. Moreover, it was a corpse that was obviously dead but could move on its own.
Lei Cheng should be the fastest-reacting of the three. He followed the possible weaknesses on the other party and swept it quickly with the assault rifle. But he found that after a round of bullets, the girl still had no intention of stopping. Moreover, her arms, which were pierced by bullets, were slowly lifting up. The blue-white palm was facing his position.
"not good!"
Almost with subconscious actions, Lei Cheng held the rush to the side and jumped hard. He could hear a "punch" sound from his ear, and his whole left cheek suddenly felt like the scorching hot burning. A few seconds later, a severe pain was quickly heard from the slightly burnt facial skin.
I reached out and touched the wound on my face, but found that the strand of hair close to my ears had long been gone. Instead, it was a strong smell of hair burned.
"Fire! She actually manipulates the fire source to attack?"
Although half of his face was burned, Lei Cheng could see clearly: the moment he jumped away, a light red spherical object the size of a fist suddenly came out from the palm of the girl's pale hands. It seemed that there was no substance, flying towards him.
Lei Cheng is very familiar with this scene. If he remembers correctly, in the games he once played, such as "Legend XI" and "Nine Generations of Warcraft", the characters in it will use a magic called "Fireball"...
Girl, no, to be precise, it should be a girl's zombie, but she will use the same method to cause harm to her body?
If the other party had a flamethrower in his hand, Lei Cheng would not say much. But the problem is that the hot fireball came out of the girl's hand, which was a fact that he had seen with his own eyes.
The scorching pain on his face continued. Lei Cheng felt that half of his head had completely swollen, and he squeezed his left eye so hard that he could not see clearly. He forced him to open his remaining right eye and guided him to find a safe path among the rocks and get close to the female corpse as soon as possible.
The beginning is useless, and there is no weakness in the whole body. Since that is the case, the last solution is to completely destroy his body.
Although Yan Rui was standing far away, she could fully understand Lei Cheng's meaning. She calmly raised the gun again and buckled the female corpse's palms side by side with her hands, and forced the second ball of hot red light that had already appeared in a semicircular shape to disappear on the other party's already blown away.
Good opportunity!
Resisting the pain and numbness from the corners of his eyes, Lei Cheng quickly rushed to the female corpse, pulled out a sharp sword from the sheath behind him, and slashed hard at the fragile connection between the girl's corpse's neck. As the knife light flashed, a tattered human head was added to the ruins covered with gravel.
Lei Cheng was closest to the corpse. Apart from him, Chen Zhang and Yan Rui did not find it. A transparent white stone suddenly rolled out from the eye sockets of the female corpse's head.
