Infinite Ebullience
Chapter 194 - 194 21 Breakout
194: Chapter 21 Breakout 194: Chapter 21 Breakout “We can’t worry about that right now, let’s get out of here!” Tang Zheng stood at the door, yelling out a sentence.
He felt incredibly annoyed, he had actually forgotten to bring the tools needed to rappel from the sixth floor.
It was a misstep.
There must be many aliens scattered throughout the hospital now, trying to break out from here would be extremely tough.
Chikashima Airi’s hands shake, failing to stuff her clothes into her bag a few times.
Although the ground was filled with the corpses of aliens disappearing upon death, without leaving any trace, the horrifying scene was deeply etched in her mind.
“Aren’t you ready yet?
Why are you packing up clothes?
I’ll buy you ten of each if you miss any,” Tang Zheng commented.
He had already seen a dozen or so nurses wearing pink uniforms and white silk stockings flocking into the hallway and sprinting towards them.
They seemed appealing due to their frantic movements, but when Tang Zheng thought of the ugly aliens beneath their nice exterior, he immediately felt a wave of nausea.
“There’s no time left.” Tang Zheng shot up to Airi’s side.
He grabbed her hand and wanted to dash out.
“What about my sister?” Chikashima Airi ran a step, only to shrug off Tang Zheng’s hand and go back to hold her sister.
“I cannot leave her.”
“Aliens will not attack her.” This was not the only thing distressing Tang Zheng, he could also discern quarreling sounds from his earphones.
“Tang Zheng needs our help.” Old Lin was shouting angrily, clearly irritated due to Scarface’s slackness.
“What can I do by myself?
You are just sending me to my death.” Scarface was arguing, wishing he could pass out right at that moment.
“We’re going.” Li Xinlan didn’t hesitate, called to Bai Guo, picked up her weapon, and jumped off the bus.
Bai Guo, holding an M4A1, closely followed her.
“Call your parents after the crisis passes and get them to take care of her,” Tang Zheng refused to waste more time, he attempted to pull Ai Li away forcefully.
But the ponytailed girl’s words stunned him into inaction.
“I am her only family.” Ai Li had already heard the rapidly nearing footsteps in the hallway.
Although she was in a panic and possibly facing death, she was determined not to abandon her sister.
Observing the resolve in the girl’s eyes, Tang Zheng slammed the bed beside him in frustration, releasing his anger.
Then, he lifted the bedsheet covering his sister, tore it into strips, picked his sister up and laid her on his back, tying her tightly with the cloth.
Just as he had done all this, Tang Zheng, using the footsteps to measure distance, quickly turned around.
As expected, an alien nurse had broken into the room and was lunging at him.
Tang Zheng adjusted his gun muzzle and pulled the trigger.
Amid the sizzling sound of currents, the thunderball wildly shot forward, creating a lethal barrage at the doorway.
“Let’s go,” Tang Zheng ran out of the room with one hand on the gun and the other pulling Ai Li along.
Because his sister was unconscious, her head hung loosely on his shoulder, bumping into his face with every stride he took.
Airi cried out in shock the moment she stepped into the hallway, then reflexively covered her mouth.
Almost forty patients and nurses rushed towards them, crowding the way out without any gaps.
There were still aliens streaming in from the stairs.
“Let’s go the other way,” Tang Zheng continued shooting, killing those in front and hoping the exploded flesh could hold back the others for a moment.
But it was of no avail.
“There are more in front!” Ai Li cried and stopped dead in her tracks.
“Don’t stop!” Tang Zheng turned around and commenced firing.
He switched from three single shots to rapid-fire, no longer conserving ammunition, and directly cleared the path of alien obstructions.
Some thunderballs hit walls, immediately blowing up foot-wide holes.
Dust and debris were everywhere, not only affecting his shooting angle but also the sound of the debris interfering with his ability to discern footsteps.
“Someone died!” Ai Li saw a man in patient’s clothes, slumped on the hallway bench, hit by the blue electric ball.
The explosion left nothing but bits of flesh.
She blurted out in shock.
“That was an untransformed alien,” Tang Zheng defended, but his heart missed a beat.
How could he hurt an innocent person?
He quickly tossed aside the troubling thought.
“Let’s go downstairs.” Tang Zheng didn’t dare take the elevator, or they might get stuck for sure.
As soon as he stepped onto the staircase bend, using the momentum, he shot down the wall to obstruct the aliens’ path.
Finding it ineffective, he resolved to land three consecutive shots on the staircase.
Amid the sound of bricks collapsing, the staircase connecting the sixth floor crumbled.
Ai Li screamed, covering her head with her hands, but the falling bricks still hurt her arms.
“Why did the aliens wait until now to try to kill Ai Li?
Could it be that they were using her as bait to exterminate all of us?” It puzzled Tang Zheng, but as he saw those aliens that were blown up in one shot before they could even reach him, he felt relieved, glad that he had upgraded to a powerful rifle.
If they were using the ordinary firearms and bullets, they would have been eliminated.
Even the Howling Reaper struggled against them.
“It seems like the monsters in Trojan’s survival game cannot be dealt with using ordinary weapons.” Tang Zheng surmised that in the next round there might be an even more formidable BOSS coming their way.
The thunderstorm rifle might not be enough.
“It looks like I’ll have to take a risk and upgrade to an S-grade weapon.”
“Tang Zheng, we’re under alien attack.” Li Xinlan’s voice sounded from the communicator by his ear, sounding extremely anxious.
“Who are you with?” Tang Zheng cursed the four guys who had been too preoccupied drinking to be of any help.
But this sudden raid was far too unexpected: they couldn’t afford to let their guard down, not even for a second.”
“I, Bai Guo, Old Lin, the rest of us stays on guard.” Li Xinlan, while finishing another clip, said, “It’s too exhausting.
Normal bullets need almost twenty or so to crack their heads.”
“Just let them die.” Tang Zheng complained.
If it wasn’t for the little Lolita, he would definitely abandon those newbies, he didn’t even want to care about Pang Meiqin anymore.
Gunfire roared over the communicator, obviously the gunfight had escalated, and Tang Zheng could also hear Lin Weiguo praising Bai Guo.
Tang Zheng noticed the reduced pressure on his side, and finally sighed in relief.
When he went up the building, he had forgotten to look at the layout of the hospital in the lobby.
Now he could only go back the way he came.
If he chose the wrong path and got lost, it would be even more dangerous.
“Xin Lan, you guys leave, lure the aliens to the bus, I’ll go and get another car to pick you up.” Tang Zheng wanted to sacrifice those newbies.
He couldn’t let his friends die, could he?
“Tang Zheng, did the bus come by itself?” Bai Guo suddenly yelled.
Because she was using the F-GUN Energy Pistol, her pressure was not so high.
Uncle, I’m here to pick you up.” Little Fan Fan’s voice came through the communicator amidst the gunfire, sounding quite anxious, “Let me know if something’s wrong.”
Before Tang Zheng could answer, Little Fan Fan’s yelling came again, “Start firing fast, I’ll kill anyone who’s slow.
Pretending to faint won’t work either.”
Bang bang, immediately followed by a threatening handgun sound, then in a string of curses, the windows of the bus opened and the protruding gun muzzles started vomiting fire.
“It’s fine.
Don’t let the bus stall, wait for me to get in.” Tang Zheng immediately revoked his idea of using the newbies as bait and issued a new command.
It seemed that Little Fan Fan had threatened everyone.
But it didn’t matter.
He would take the blame for her even if she killed someone.
Plus that idiot Pang Meiqin must be taught a lesson.
Being robbed of the communicator by a little girl was simply incurable stupidity.
He knew the newbies didn’t have this equipment.
“How did you know that the nurse was an alien just now?” Chikashima Airi, though running for such a long while, still had the stamina to ask questions.
She was also starting to look at Tang Zheng with a surprised look, “You carried my sister and ran for so long, why aren’t you out of breath?
I kind of believe now that you’re from the future.”
Of course, Tang Zheng wouldn’t get tired, not to mention the point-costing stamina enhancement, just the Firefly Protective Clothing increased his physical fitness by four times.
“Taking medicine in the morning?
Shouldn’t it usually be before or after meals?” The incoming aliens weren’t too many anymore, Tang Zheng finally had a chance to catch his breath.
However, his speed didn’t slow down, because there was still a fierce fight in the lobby.
Airi remembered that the usual medication time was indeed so, nodded, but still did not quite accept it, “What if there are exceptions?”
“Apologize.” Tang Zheng actually wanted to say that he could just erase her memory, which was a big killer.
“Uncle, there are so many aliens, when will you arrive?” Little Fan Fan was a little scared, only Tang Zheng’s voice could make her feel safe.
“Coming now.” After making sure there was no danger behind him, Tang Zheng ran a few steps faster, surpassing Ai Li.
“Follow me, just get in the car and don’t mind if our people are dead.
Don’t make my sacrifice in vain.”
“Yes.” Ai Li nodded, scared by these words, a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes.
That’s the effect Tang Zheng wanted.
Only by making her feel like she owes him would the next negotiation go well.
Whoo, trying to regain his breath, Tang Zheng stepped down the stairs, sprinted through the thirty-meter passage, then appeared in the northwest corner of the lobby, at the same time, he pulled the grenade from his belt and bit the safety bolt with his mouth.
In this interval, he also quickly scanned the lobby.
Lin Weiguo and the others held the front desk, in front of them were many charred corpses, obviously Bai Guo’s masterpiece, while the Howling Reaper in Lin Weiguo’s hand was also roaring.
The bus drove up a section of the steps, shattered the glass of the lobby, and stopped.
The window opened, and bullets poured out from inside.
“Good chance.” Tang Zheng spat out the safety bolt from his mouth and took off the grenade safety, then threw it towards the middle where the aliens were most concentrated.
Boom, amidst the explosion, several rows of benches were blown away, and those innocent ordinary people who were forcibly put to sleep did not escape this time and were all blasted.
Lin Weiguo and the others were stunned for a moment, even the gunfire from the bus paused briefly.
Except for Zhang Hao, even Scarface was taken aback.
“Old Lin, get on.” Tang Zheng fired, momentarily clearing a safe passage to the bus.
Seeing Ai Li and Xin Lan had boarded, he immediately turned around, nudged Bai Guo’s bum and fell in with her.
“Close the door.”
Little Fan Fan was quick to move, pressing the button next to the driver’s seat when Tang Zheng shouted, the door of the bus was closed with a “shi” sound, then the little loli shouted.
“Reverse quickly!”
Pang Meiqin attached the reverse gear fiercely, stomped on the accelerator.
With strong shaking, the bus backed out amid the screeching sound of tires on the ground.
