The Aka wasn't equipped with a silencer, and with a loud bang, the bullet flew out with considerable noise. Combined with the previous cannon boom, if the humanoid monsters still didn't react, they must be a bunch of deaf people.
Accompanying the explosion of skulls and the splattering of juices were the sounds of footsteps approaching.
The three of them exchanged glances. Cheng Shuang hurriedly made a downward gesture to Du Lanshan, then raised her index finger, revealing the number one.
She then took out her weapon and ran with Liao Yuewei towards the stairs on one side. Du Lanshan, who was bringing up the rear, had no intention of not killing women. He swiftly killed Xi Yamei and picked up the two corpses before turning around and following his companions.
There are still tough battles to fight.
These NPCs are not just decorations; they should be called checkpoints. The gates may not open easily unless you kill them.
To avoid any potential problems, the bodies of the maintainers cannot be left behind either. Who knows if these men's biological experiments have the ability to resurrect people?
As for Qingnai's other team member, they weren't in a hurry to deal with him. Engaging with the humanoid monsters would at least deplete some of his strength, and since they were currently outnumbered, it was better to kill two birds with one stone and keep him around to help eliminate some of the humanoid monsters first.
In the stairwell, Cheng Shuang and Liao Yuewei indeed encountered several humanoid monsters climbing up. Both sides were taken aback, and the humanoid monsters began to scrutinize each other's clothes and appearance.
Seeing the two unfamiliar figures coming down from upstairs, whose appearances were so peculiar they seemed to be beyond human comprehension, the group of humanoid monsters could not hide their disappointment.
Before they could ask any questions, Liao Yuewei calmly pointed to the thirtieth floor, "Something's happened. Two more fighters have arrived, and they're quite strong. We're short-handed right now, let's go call some other NPCs!"
Upon hearing this, the humanoid monsters excitedly shoved past the two and ran upwards, as if they would lose a fortune if they were even a step slower.
Only one humanoid monster with gray wings and feathers on its cheeks remained. It glanced at Liao Yuewei's long sword with envy and jealousy, and kindly reminded her, "There aren't many NPCs downstairs."
"Thanks, brother!" Liao Yuewei thanked him without changing her expression. Just as she was about to continue walking down, she heard the other party invite her, "They came up by themselves after hearing the sound. Why don't we go over together so we don't miss out on the extra meal?"
Its pupils, which resembled both a human and a bird, were fixed on Liao Yuewei, as if it cared deeply about her answer.
With Liao Yuewei shielding half of her body behind her, Cheng Shuang raised an eyebrow and questioned her bluntly, "You don't have the ability to get a share of the pie, so you insist on dragging us into it, right?"
"It's not you, it's her!" The bird-winged humanoid monster didn't care about showing weakness at all, its eyes still fixed on Liao Yuewei. "If my form weren't similar to a human's, this opportunity would never have fallen to a monster like me who can only fly. But if I get a bite of the invaders' flesh and blood, I will definitely have a lot of room to grow. How about we two monsters join forces? Let this little bean sprout who's just good-looking but short-legged and useless go and inform the other monsters. Leaving her a bite of human blood is enough."
The cute-looking but short-legged and useless little bean curd: "???"
Is it really okay to have veiled criticism and backstabbing everywhere?!
Without saying a word, Cheng Shuang smiled as she looked at the bird-winged humanoid monster, then brandished her cat claws and swung them fiercely at the metal handrail.
The bird-winged humanoid monster's pupils contracted as the ear-piercing sound of clashing metal struck its eardrums, while several deep scratch marks appeared on the stair railing.
It immediately showed a look of existential doubt, its eyes darting around, looking at the cute, tilted head of Cheng Shuang, at her chubby little cat paws, and then at the deep marks on the armrest, feeling as if that paw had scratched its heart... The clown was actually myself!
"I... cough cough, I'll go up first." The bird-winged humanoid monster immediately acted on its conscience, no longer daring to underestimate the little bean, turned around, and ran upstairs with a clattering sound, its gray feathers falling down in fright as it ran.
Cheng Shuang's eyes lit up, and she quickly caught up in two or three steps, plucking two large handfuls of soft feathers.
The bird-winged humanoid monster let out a howl and ran even faster.
Liao Yuewei thought the little girl was just being naughty, so she affectionately patted her head, took out a bag, and put the feathers in it. The two of them then ran downstairs.
As predicted by the bird wing, a few more humanoid monsters came up from below. They were few in number, and Liao Yuewei killed any of the lone ones with a single strike. Cheng Shuang, meanwhile, tacitly collected the still-bloodless corpses into her spatial storage, completing the cleanup.
When the two women, one big and one small, arrived on the first floor, they killed as many as five humanoid monsters.
The elevator that Du Lanshan was in was a bit faster than theirs. At this moment, he stood outside the towering building with the words "Sanatorium" marked on the main entrance, looking up at the sky.
His white coat was stained with multicolored liquids and smelled strongly of fish, suggesting that he had encountered several enemies in the elevator.
As soon as the three met, Du Lanshan deftly brought out a box of dangerous goods painted with a black skull. He grinned, showing off his bright white teeth, and said, "These things are hard to come by. There are only two boxes of them in stock."
Liao Yuewei was taken aback. She stepped forward and opened the box, only to find it full of explosives.
She blinked in surprise. "Blowing up the building isn't difficult; the difficulty lies in the limited space, making us vulnerable to being affected."
"I'm here!" Cheng Shuang patted her chest, fully supporting Uncle Du's simple and direct attack method, "Hide in the protective shield."
As for who lit the explosives, the little girl said she'd like to know about the disposable doll army.
The feathers that were plucked were transformed into palm-sized bird-winged humanoid monsters by Cheng Shuang's skill. They flapped their wings, each pair carrying a set of explosives, and flew headlong toward their battlefield.
When they entered the gate, Cheng Shuang and his two companions appeared on the fourth floor, while Qing Nai's companions appeared on the thirtieth floor and other floors. Obviously, the spatial setting of the sanatorium was different from what they were used to. So Cheng Shuang did not insist on finding the correct location of the gate. Instead, he opened the protective shield in a direction relatively far away from the building and brought his two companions in. Then, with a command, loud rumbling sounds rang out from floor to floor.
