In the ordinary, at the end of rationality, beyond the world you are familiar with—is a scenery you have never imagined.
When Yu Sheng first opened that door, the world he was familiar with...
Chapter 542: The hotel emphasizes teamwork and contribution
Those who emerged from those "cocoons" were obviously the employees of the Black Spot Group who originally worked in this space station - those "rebellious" defense forces and crazy researchers - among the squirming and flowing sticky shadows, their original human outlines and clothing and equipment could still be vaguely seen, and some shadows even had vague human faces emerging in the place of their heads.
However, these "human" characteristics did not make them look more friendly, but instead made them look even more terrifying and weird.
A tall figure emerged from the nearest "cocoon". It seemed to be the commander of the laboratory's security forces. He seemed to be still faithfully carrying out the mission of defending the laboratory, commanding other shadows to attack Yu Sheng and his group. Under his command, the nearby "black spot soldiers" raised the guns in their hands that had been distorted and covered by shadows, and pulled the trigger without hesitation at their former master - Luo.
Their weapons seemed to have been completely corroded by shadows and transformed into things other than guns, but after the trigger was pulled, those twisted weapons could actually fire bullets and rays - beams of light with a strange scarlet glow cut through the air, and several of them almost grazed Luo's body, making the latter's hair stand on end.
But the next second, she saw a large silver-white tail blocking her way. The tail was resisting the deadly barrage of bullets. The protective spiritual energy around it flickered violently for a few times, and then suddenly burst out with a blazing propulsion flame, whizzing into the middle of those mutated "security forces", causing a violent explosion.
She looked up again and saw several fox tails flying in the air, raining down bullets on the opposite side.
The sounds of explosions, the whistling of foxfire barrages, and the rattling sounds coming from nowhere rang out all around in a chaotic manner, leaving Luo completely confused.
"...No, what did this demon fox launch?!"
She finally woke up from her shock, and while condensing a fireball of mental power to help resist the shadows that kept emerging from the cocoon, she shouted at Yu Sheng.
"I haven't heard this for a long time!" Yu Sheng couldn't help laughing when he heard the voice behind him. Then he raised the "war stick" in his hand and smashed it towards the enemy closest to him. The latter was smashed into zip format on the spot, and "mud" splashed all over the ground.
But then Yu Sheng felt something was wrong.
He felt... that the other party was "empty".
It wasn't the feel of his hand, he actually felt that he had hit something solid, and the feedback was even stronger than that of an ordinary flesh and blood body. The "emptiness" he felt came from the feedback from the blood.
The tetanus staff was soaked in Yu Sheng's own blood, acting like some kind of enchantment. During normal combat, this "battle staff" would continuously erode enemies it touched, effectively "three blows to a friend"—if they weren't killed. Even if the erosion wasn't complete, Yu Sheng could establish a blood connection with his enemies through this "contact," allowing him to sense their status changes at any moment and even interfere with and predict their actions to a certain extent.
But when he smashed it with the stick just now, all that came back in his blood was a hollow whistling sound, as if... he had smashed an empty cardboard box.
The sound of whistling wind came to my ears.
An elegant and graceful figure crossed the battlefield like the wind, blocking a sneak attack from the side for Yu Sheng. Luna kicked the hoarsely mumbling enemy away, then spun her body, jumped high, and slashed down with the blade on her fingertips several times, cutting the surging "shadow mud" into several pieces in mid-air.
The remains of the enemy fell to the ground, making a strange "hissing" sound, and then it melted into some kind of fluid, blending into the shadows flowing down from the central platform.
The dark void in the center of the laboratory trembled and expanded and contracted. An illusory spider limb poked out from the top of the hole. The long leg swept the air blindly, and the end of the limb continuously dripped a sticky shadow substance. New "cocoons" quickly expanded from the spider webs. Then, accompanied by pious and grateful prayers, the cocoons burst one by one, and the eliminated enemies crawled out from them again and continued to attack.
Luna suddenly stopped and turned to look at Yu Sheng.
"Master, we can't kill them all."
Yu Sheng felt strange about what he said at the time - so "problems with punctuation" is also part of the hotel's corporate culture?
At this time, another large group of mass-produced puppets teleported in from the valley and rushed behind several abandoned devices near the laboratory entrance. They used these "temporary shelters" to fire scorching rays at the enemies that kept emerging from their cocoons. Irene hid behind Luo and shouted at Yu Sheng, "Hey, it feels like there are more and more of them!"
Before Yu Sheng could respond, he heard Luo Ye yelling, "It's not a problem if more and more people are hitting me—why are most of them hitting me?"
When Yu Sheng heard this, he quickly glanced over and saw Luo Zheng dodging to the side in a mess. More than a dozen dark red beams fell on the place where she had just stood, burning holes of various sizes on the ground. Several beams hit her and were blocked by a layer of flickering mental shield. Although it was blocked, the elf's face was obviously paler.
The black-spotted "scientist" had a look of fear and anger on his face.
Most of the shadows that kept resurrecting around her were actually aimed at her.
As he was speaking, another explosion sounded. Hu Li blew away the enemies who were firing at Luo, but before the fireballs ignited by the fox fire dissipated, more bullets and beams of light passed through the smoke in the hall and poured towards Luo.
Luo screamed, and his wheeled mechanical legs were running so fast that smoke was almost coming out of them. He shouted in anger: "You bastards! I am your boss! I am your boss!!"
"Stop yelling, Long Ears!" Irene screamed as she heard it. "Have you ever worked before?! If you were to become a jerk like this one day, carrying a gun and not even having to worry about the next day's attendance and KPIs, with your former boss standing right in front of you, if you didn't shoot, what would you do (giving a middle finger)?!"
Yu Sheng raised his staff and knocked away an enemy that rushed past him. Then he turned his head to look at the unlucky elf running around: "Tell me the truth, have you ever offended your subordinates?"
"Shut up! I'm a good boss!" Luo fired a mental fireball, blasting away a former lab researcher who was rushing towards him. "I won't delay a single cent of your salary!"
The next second, she lowered her head in embarrassment to avoid the barrage of bullets fired at her.
"The bonus I gave them was three times that of other project teams!"
A black dot soldier was stabbed by her mechanical limbs and nailed to the ground.
“I even give them extra paid time off—twice as much!”
She screamed madly, and then was bombarded with fire by her former employee.
Now almost all the monsters in the hall began to focus their fire on her.
Even a few enemies who were originally firing at Yu Sheng and Hu Li changed their targets.
"Let me be honest, you're being treated unfairly," Yu Sheng sighed from the bottom of his heart as he listened to Luo's yelling. "I'm almost thinking of asking if you're still hiring."
Luo gritted his teeth: "Well, I appreciate your understanding, but I'm about to be beaten to death!"
Yu Sheng: "So I suddenly have an idea——"
Luo: “…Ah?”
The elf only had time to exclaim "Ah?" before seeing a large group of red-eyed dwarfs suddenly jump out from behind a nearby shelter and rush towards him in a disorderly manner.
A strong sense of unease and the trauma of being kidnapped before suddenly surged into Luo's heart. He felt the hairs on his body stand on end and screamed subconsciously: "What are you going to do..."
The next second, she was surrounded by those mass-produced dolls. Before she could even resist, the red-eyed dwarfs crawled all over her. Some grabbed her legs, some grabbed her arms, some held her mechanical limbs and bit them, some pulled her hair, scratched her ears, bit her fingers, and tugged at her skirt. Some even found no room left and just found a piece of flesh to twist and hang on her...
A familiar feeling came over him, and the unlucky elf began to struggle frantically: "Let go..."
Irene pounced on her and stuffed an Ominous Star into her mouth, almost breaking her teeth.
Then the mass-produced dolls began running around the hall, carrying elves with expressions on their faces that said, "How the hell did I offend these weirdos?"
The short legs moved very fast - even faster than Luo's wheels.
And I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Irene, who usually doesn’t have much brains, was able to accurately judge the attack frequency and blind spots of the enemies at this time - she commanded the mass production girl to carry Luo to the front of the formation to provoke, almost attracting the firepower of the entire hall, but the attacks she suffered were less than those she suffered when she was running around and dodging just now.
Yu Sheng glanced at Irene and was about to say what plan he had, but before he could say it, he saw the little doll standing in the open space and giving him a thumbs up, with a heartless and immoral smile on its little face.
That smile was full of collusion, collusion, and collusion...
Behind her was a blonde elf sister running wildly in the hall, being carried by a dozen mass-produced dolls.
After silently thanking Luo for his great contribution to the team, and feeling that "there are kind-hearted people even in black spots", Yu Sheng turned around and rushed towards the dark hole in the center of the hall.
When he was halfway through the charge, some of the enemies who were firing at Luo suddenly reacted, as if they were even more stimulated, and began to turn their guns towards him.
Yu Sheng felt a push coming from behind.
Luna rushed over from the side and without hesitation used her body to block the fire attacking from the side for Yu Sheng, then hugged Yu Sheng's waist and rushed forward.
Bullets and rays hit the Saint, burning her nun's dress and sparking sparks of fire on the outer shell of her body made of battleship armor alloy.
"dew……"
Yu Sheng only had time to utter one word before he felt the push from behind him suddenly increase dramatically - Luna stomped hard on the ground, picked up Yu Sheng and threw him forward like a cannonball.
"Master, go!"
"Waist, waist! My waist is broken—"
