Chapter 471: Monster



Everyone immediately shut their mouths when they heard Vera.


Just then, they all heard the sound of footsteps approaching from the distance.


Yuan Bin was shocked and immediately adjusted his flashlight to the dimmest.


With the help of the weak light, everyone adjusted their formation and stood in position. Holding their breaths, they aimed their muzzles at the door of the room.


Soon, Fang Heng heard the sound of footsteps walking past the door.


It was getting further and further away.


Fang Heng carefully stepped forward and held the door handle.


His actions shocked Yuan Bin, who reached out and pressed his hand on Fang Heng’s shoulder. He mouthed, “Are you crazy? ”


Fang Heng glanced at him. “It’s fine. The situation’s very stable. ”


Stable my foot!


Yuan Bin quickly let go of Fang Heng and held the gun in his hands tightly, getting ready for battle.


Fang Heng gently twisted the door handle.


Da, da, da...


The old iron door made a faint sound.


Fang Heng opened a gap in the door and looked outside through it.


A faint light came from the right side of the pathway.


A figure had its back to them.


It bent its body and slowly moved forward along the corridor.


The entire bas.e.m.e.nt was dark, and the figure had a flashlight in its hand to provide light.


He knew how to use a flashlight? Was it a human?


“Could he be the owner of the diary? ” Fang Heng turned to look at Vera and the others and suggested, “Why don’t we talk to him? Maybe we can trigger the follow-up mission? ”


“Don’t! ” Yuan Bin quickly stopped Fang Heng’s impulsive behavior. “What do you expect a monster to talk to you about? We almost died at his hands last time. ”


Yuan Bin thought to himself, “This teammate is really stupid and bold! I don’t know how he survived in the game for so long! Isn’t it better to just safely search for research materials and sell them for money? Wait... ”


Thinking that the generous buyer who would later buy the research materials was so stupid and bold, Yuan Bin had another epiphany. “Maybe that’s why he has the ability to make so much money. ”


“Found the map. ” Yi Qi found a map in the corner of the room and called everyone over to take a look. “Come and take a look. ”


“Hint: your team has obtained the blueprint of Plan Scorpio Research Inst.i.tute (part) . ”


“Plan Scorpio! That’s right! ” Fang Heng mused as he went forward and looked at the map with everyone.


The first thing he saw was the symbol of Meteorite Company in the corner of the map.


The map showed that the entire underground area was very large.


To the west of the second bas.e.m.e.nt was the dormitory room where the members of Plan Scorpio lived.


The large-sized central research room was in the fourth bas.e.m.e.nt.


“Found it! It’s in the fourth bas.e.m.e.nt! ” Yuan Bin exclaimed in a low voice.


“Yes, the information should be in the central research room in the fourth bas.e.m.e.nt. ”


“We need to think of a way to go to the fourth bas.e.m.e.nt. It seems that there’s no electricity supply in this place, so the elevator is probably not in operation. ” Yi Qi suggested while examining the map, “Why don’t we go straight down the stairs? What do you think? ”


“Yeah, I think it’ll work. ”


The five of them quickly came up with a plan.


After confirming that the monster in the pathway had gone far away, they quietly left the room.


It was much easier with the blueprint.


The group was very careful along the way, and they managed to find the stairs leading down without facing any danger.


They had just reached the third bas.e.m.e.nt when their hearts skipped a beat.


There was light in the third bas.e.m.e.nt!


There were still people living there? !


The light came from the large gla.s.s window of a room on the other side of the pathway.


Zhong Lei a.n.a.lyzed the blueprint in his hand and said in a low voice, “There is a description on the blueprint. The light is coming from the lounge of the research and development department. ”


“I can feel something inside. ” Vera shrank her neck. The sense of danger coming from the lounge made her feel very uncomfortable.


“Don’t alert the monsters. Let’s walk over carefully. ” Yi Qi turned off the flashlight in his hand and gestured at the group.


He pointed at the end of the pa.s.sage and signaled for the group to bend over carefully.


It was a distance of five to six meters. As long as they could get past the window carefully without being discovered, it would be fine.


“I’ll go first. You guys follow after. ” Yi Qi took a deep breath and walked as lightly as possible. He bent over and carefully moved past the window.


He waved at the people behind him, indicating that everything was safe.


Vera and Yuan Bin were next.


The two of them also pa.s.sed through the pathway without any danger.


Zhong Lei was the fourth.


He exchanged looks with Fang Heng, feeling that the trio was being overly cautious.


Zhong Lei walked forward, lowered his body like the others, and slowly moved past the window.


Halfway through, he suddenly noticed that Yi Qi and the others at the front of the pathway were frantically waving at him, seemingly drawing his attention upward.


The top?


Zhong Lei habitually raised his head.


Then, he saw a terrifying face.


That face was tightly pressed against the window. Its face was extremely distorted, and its facial features seemed to have been messed up.


The face that was pressed against the window was staring straight at Zhong Lei.


The moment he saw the face, Zhong Lei felt as if his body had been struck by lightning. He could not help but lean back, and a game hint appeared in his vision.


“Hint: you have been affected by the fear effect. ”


“Hint: you have entered a paralyzed state. ”


“Sh*t! Zhong Lei! Run! ! ” Yuan Bin shouted and took out an automatic rifle.


Bang! Bang, bang! !


The next moment, the window shattered.


A short figure jumped out of the window.


Fang Heng’s pupils constricted as he stared at the monster that jumped out of the window.


A zombie?


It didn’t look like one!


It wasn’t short, but it had a hunched body. Its hair was disheveled, and it was half-kneeling on the ground.


“Do it! ! ! ” Yi Qi shouted.


Bang, bang! Bang, bang, bang! !


The sound of gunshots echoed throughout the pa.s.sage.


The monster’s dodging ability was beyond everyone’s expectations. It moved quickly in the empty pathway and once again jumped into the lounge to hide.


Bang! !


In a paralyzed state, Zhong Lei felt something kick his abdomen!


His body flew up more than half a meter and crashed heavily into the wall behind him.


It felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart.


Before he could speak, Zhong Lei felt his body being tightly held by something, and his entire body was lifted into the air.


Fang Heng stared in Zhong Lei’s direction and could not help but narrow his eyes, wanting to see more clearly.


“Hint: your perception and will attribute both exceed 15. You have noticed some details. ”


Fang Heng saw three shadows in the air.


The shadows were extremely thin. Only when they attacked Zhong Lei did they reveal a rough outline. One of the shadows was tall and lifting Zhong Lei in the air.


What the h.e.l.l!


Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat. He immediately raised his pistol and aimed at the shadows, pulling the trigger continuously.


Bang, bang! !


The bullets directly pa.s.sed through the shadows.


It was useless?


The gunshots paused. While everyone was reloading their ammunition, the short monster once again leaped out of the lounge.


Its figure turned into a black shadow and flew toward Fang Heng at an extremely fast speed.


Vera shouted a warning, “Fang Shuo! Be careful! ”


Fang Heng frowned, his gaze focused on the monster that was rapidly approaching him.
