Chapter 101 Sorry, Little Devil
Who did it?
Did Marshall kill these people, or... ?
Qiao Lan didn't have time to investigate this. The thought flashed through his mind as he walked through the living room where the corpses were lying and quickly rushed to the room with the small window where Marshall had been before.
"Where did you go?"
Seeing that there was no one in the house, Qiao Lan looked around in the next few rooms but still found no one, so he didn't rush to chase after him.
Instead, large rocks and bricks collected from the ruins were released into the space, blocking the windows of the room tightly and making the room dark.
Then, snap, a tracking light came on.
I found it in the ruins of a police station when I was out a few days ago. It's portable, high-powered, and emits evenly distributed flat light, specifically designed to target potential clues such as bloodstains, fingerprints, and especially footprints that are difficult to see with the naked eye.
Under the light, the seemingly clean floor of the room clearly showed a row of messy footprints and two wheel prints.
Why is this still pushing a cart?
What's the enemy's strategy?
Confused, Qiao Lan held the survey light and followed the footprints all the way, and soon arrived at the basement.
The footprints stopped at the base of the wall. Qiao Lan immediately understood that there was a secret door or compartment.
She stepped on and knocked on the tiles at the base of the wall, and the hollow sound confirmed her guess.
She didn't even bother looking for a hidden compartment, so why bother? She just opened fire, shattering the floor tiles.
The passage inside was pitch black, the sensor lights dim. Qiao Lan threw a light stick in and realized it wasn't a dead end where she could only hide, but a deep, endless alley. Listening carefully, she could faintly hear footsteps, far away.
The enemy ran away?
She jumped down, turned on a powerful searchlight, and made sure there were no traps or dangers ahead before she started chasing.
The passage was not straight, it had turns and twists. Qiao Lan considered safety first and then speed, so he did not run very fast.
"Ye Zi, Ye Zi, be careful to intercept! The enemy escaped through the tunnel. I suspect this tunnel leads outside the community. It's too long!"
Qiao Lan ran while communicating with Ye Qi using the communicator.
He fired a few shots forward from time to time.
The loud gunshots echoed in the passage. Marshall and his men, who were about to run to the entrance of the passage, were dizzy and had tinnitus, but Qiao Lan himself was not affected.
Ever since her marksmanship suddenly improved, various parts of her body seemed to have automatically strengthened in a direction that was conducive to shooting. After being nurtured by the crystal core, her ears no longer reacted to the sound of gunfire at close range. She would not become deafened or have tinnitus.
As we approached the exit, the passage became straighter.
Qiao Lan vaguely saw a figure in front of him and immediately opened fire.
"Hurry up!" Marshall urged his men angrily.
His men, however, staggered, having been shot in the leg.
"waste!"
When Marshall saw that his men were really slow to move, he took out a knife from his arms, slashed it with his backhand, and cut his men's throats.
The unfortunate subordinate covered his neck in fear and fell down limply and died.
There was no fluctuation on Marshall's cold face.
Useless people don't deserve pity.
He narrowed his snake-like dark eyes, reached into his inner pocket, and took out a small wooden box.
Open it and shake out the contents.
A burst of tiny squeaking sounds immediately rang out in the passage, quickly growing stronger and stronger, accompanied by the muffled sound of flapping wings.
"My sleeping little devil, I'm sorry, I can only raise you to this age. Wake up, wake up..."
Marshall muttered, a flicker of regret in his eyes.
The little darling he had carefully nurtured, the one he loved even more than Serena, had a promising future...
But I can't wait for it to grow up!
In a critical moment, a hero cuts off his arm or a gecko cuts off its tail. He can only use it to buy time to escape.
Otherwise, would he be forced to fight the sharpshooter with a broken leg? That would be suicide.
At this moment, the footsteps chasing from behind became louder.
The light of the searchlight in the distance became stronger and stronger.
Marshall did not delay any longer. He took one last nostalgic look at his beloved pet, then desperately pushed the semi-automatic wheelchair with his own hands and ran towards the exit of the passage which was not far away.
Puff, puff...
The thing he left on the ground spread its wings in the dim light of the emergency light on the wall, and its body grew bigger and bigger, from a small ball of a few centimeters to the size of an old corn cob. The wings spread out on its sides stretched to nearly one meter long.
Sensing the light source of the searchlight, the thing flapped its wings and flew towards the light.
It was wobbly at first, but soon it got used to the use of its wings and began to fly steadily.
"What the hell?"
As Qiao Lan was running, he saw a dark shadow rushing towards him.
It didn’t seem big at first, how come it keeps getting bigger?
She stopped and looked carefully with the light.
Big ears, big wings, furry body...
This... is this a bat?!
Qiao Lan was horrified for a moment, and his memories of his past life quickly revived.
Mutated bats!
Something more brutal and terrifying than the mutant rats at the beginning of the apocalypse!
Why did they appear now? The mutant rats hadn't spread yet, and it wasn't the time for bats to become rampant.
Qiao Lan swiped his fingers and a large rock appeared in the space, blocking himself in front of him.
The bat couldn't stop its momentum and crashed directly into the rock, screaming.
Qiao Lan fired a shot through the cracks in the rocks.
The LS7 submachine gun had an extremely fast firing rate, and the bullets were like pouring water. Soon she emptied five magazines, and all of the more than one hundred bullets were fired at the bat.
The searchlight directly penetrated the bat's body, which meant that it had been shot into a sieve.
But miraculously he is still alive.
It flapped its broken wings, which were covered with holes of all sizes, and tried hard to stay in the air and maintain its balance.
The bullets that had passed through the bats were embedded in the walls of the passage, and dust and debris poured down.
Qiao Lan didn't dare to shoot again. She didn't know whether this underground passage was strong enough. What would she do if it collapsed and fell to the ground?
She turned around and ran, contacting Ye Qi urgently.
"The enemy has escaped. Can you find them? There's also a mutant bat. Be careful!"
"If you encounter one head-on, don't let its blood or saliva get on you. It's highly poisonous. Stay away before shooting."
"Be careful of its ultrasonic waves, they can make you dizzy and lose your ability to move!"
She didn't know whether the bat would attack with sonic waves, so to avoid casualties, she gave a warning based on her past life experience.
In addition to squeaking, bats can also emit ultrasonic waves above 20,000 Hz. These sound waves are originally inaudible to human ears, but the ultrasonic waves emitted by mutated bats in the apocalypse can affect the human nervous system.
In the late apocalypse, some bats mutated so powerfully that their sound waves could cause people to bleed from all seven orifices and die.
So Qiao Lan ran away after firing the gun, not giving the bat a chance to attack with ultrasonic waves.
There was a large rock blocking the passage, preventing the bat from flying over, so she successfully returned to the ground along the same route.
As he ran out of the building, Ye Qi's response came through the headphones.
"I saw a bat. I'll deal with it. You support the medical station!"
"good!"
Qiao Lan didn't waste any time and ran straight to the medical point not far away with a gun.
He changed to a sniper rifle while running, lay down on the wall of the yard, and took aim quickly.
The golden mouse, who was in the middle of a fierce battle with the old chef Xiao Tang, appeared and disappeared in the window pane at an extremely fast speed.
Qiao Lan is not Head Nurse Chen. She does not need to rely on luck. She is calm and composed and seizes the fleeting opportunity.
Bang!
A shot was fired.
The golden rat convulsed in mid-air and fell down with a scream.
The bullet went through his eye.
It's blind.
"Uncle Geng, kill it."
Qiao Lan shouted towards the building.
"Leave it to me!"
The old chef's voice is like a bell.
