It really was a battle that left people powerless .
Or rather, a slaughter . A one-sided slaughter .
Lucius had completely lost interest at the thought of evading bullets . He let them shoot through his body, whether it hit his brain, limbs, heart, anywhere⊠Lucius had forgotten how many times he had died and resurrected again .
Even Lucius himself didnât remember fear was spreading among the soldiers who still stubbornly fired Lucius with their guns . They forgot that the bullets had no effect on Lucius at all .
On top of that, blood gathered below Luciusâ feet also gradually increased along with the fallen soldierâs corpses . The corpses were mutilated, body parts scattered everywhere on the warehouse floor . But their blood would wound up and gather around Lucius .
âDonât fret! Hurry and attack!â Ye Fusheng commanded the remaining Black Watch soldiers who fought valiantly . They were about to raise their gun when they found their arms turned into scarlet liquid .
An endless stream of blood started to surround Luciusâs body . The blood became bigger and bigger, as the blood started to grow bigger . Now it was almost grown into the size of a thumb . This also meant that Luciusâs River of Death almost gathered around two hundred people . This meant that it would take 200 times to kill Lucius before he finally died .
But that was impossible .
These troops had lost their will to fight in front of Lucius . It was impossible for a human that didnât even have a will to fight to kill a vampire .
âDestroy him!â
Being the two strongest soldiers in the entire base, the two nano-armored soldiers rushed out . One of them didnât hold a gun . Instead, he held a tactical knife in his hand . It wasnât an ordinary tactical knife, the blade radiated . This knifeâs technology wasnât much worse than the nano-armor they were wearing .
He swung his blade as he approached Lucius, easily cut off one of Luciusâs arms .
âQuick! Disable him!â Ye Fusheng had an expectation after he looked at the two nano-armored soldiers . But he didnât dare to stay in such a dangerous situation .
âI have to report this information to the baseâŠâ
Ye Fusheng wanted to leave that place, He escaped towards the back door . It was fear . He could finally understand what Harkein worried about . This was no longer a battle! Itâs hell on earth! Even if they couldnât kill the monster, the two New Federation of China elite soldiers should be able to stop the monster!
Ye Fusheng ran up to the elevator, pressed the button to the highest floor . Ye Fusheng felt relieved as the elevator door closed, he suddenly felt safe . He looked forward to arriving on the top floor .
Of course, Lucius knew that the selfish scientist had runoff . But he didnât stop him, there was no way that he could chase him now as the two nano-armored soldiers completely blocked Luciusâs path .
The tactical knife came at Luciusâs neck again, but this time, he didnât give him the chance to swing it . \nâI have a questionâŠâ Lucius reached out his hand and grabbed the soldierâs head with speed several times faster than the nano-armored soldier, slamming his opponentâs body to the ground . The other nano-armored soldier tried to aid his companion, butâŠ
âAhhhhh!!â
At the back of the warehouse where Lucius came in, a horde of zombies suddenly rushed in . They finally broke through the iron gate as they tried relentlessly to hit it . Several level-2 infected zombies rushed towards the nano-armored soldiers, cornered him!
âWhatâs your rank?â
Lucius looked at the soldier he was slamming him to the ground .
âC rank? B rank?â
â!â He couldnât reply as his body was entirely under Luciusâs control . This powerâŠhow could he be this strong?
A few hours ago, this creature couldnât match their speed! But now, he completely overpowered him . What the hell was going on? How did this happen? An incomprehensible thing happened, he actually felt his own blood flowing out from his body towards Luciusâs hand .
âSo thatâs how it is . Youâre just a C rank . â
Lucius tightly squeezed the helmet of the nano-armor . As he squeezed tighter, a dull sound of exploding flesh was heard inside the armor .
C rank beings . To Lucius, they were nothing more than baits .
âNext isâŠâ Lucius released the dead nano-armored soldier and looked at the other soldier who was surrounded by a horde of zombies . Then he looked up to the top floor, âdinner time . â
âŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠ .
There was only one person .
The only one who survived was Ye Fusheng . This kind of creature shouldnât exist in the world, and Ye Fushengâs brain was still thinking that .
No matter what, he had to survive this hell . The exit door to leave the base was right in front of him . Ye Fusheng walked to the gate and was entering the command to open the door on the console . But⊠it seemed like another elevator had reached the top floor .
Who was that? Ye Fusheng turned around to the elevator door in fear . His heart palpitated . He didnât dare to blink, he focused his gaze on the elevator door .
The door opened, revealing a tall, jet-black figure inside . The jet-black armor and its crimson goggles were covered in blood .
âHaaah⊠itâs the Lieutenant . â Ye Fusheng was deeply relieved when he found out the one abroad the elevator was one of his men . âHeâs really worth being a lieutenant . Did he come back after killing the vampire?â\nBut wait⊠Ye Fusheng almost bit his tongue at the thoughtâŠ
Kill?
Killing what?
How could you kill him!
Then what?
He stared intently at the figure in the nano-armor . It quickly fell to the ground as if it had no soul! The helmet fell off instantly, revealing the face of a frightened adult male .
âHelp me⊠ProfessorâŠâ The soldier reached out his hand, begging .
âDamn itâŠdamn itâŠâ Ye Fusheng tried to retreat, âDid youâŠbecome like that too? Become those monsters?!â
The soldierâs lower half body disappeared . As he fell, something else inside the elevator rushed out .
The zombies rushed out, not interested in the professor . Instead, they rushed towards the soldier . Because flesh and blood of a C rank Esper was tastier than an ordinary person anyway .
Right in front of Ye Fusheng, the man who once was his right-hand man was eaten bit by bit by a herd of zombies .
âHello again, professor . â Lucius walked out of the elevator and confronted Ye Fusheng .
Bang!
Ye Fusheng shot Lucius in the brain with his pistol with high accuracy, which caused Lucius to step back and temporarily stunned him .
âYou canât catch me!â
The door to the outside world opened, Ye Fusheng ran out and closed the gate as soon as he could .
It was already dawn outside . The sun was slowly rising, the glorious morning sun illuminated the metal tunnel .
The sunlight! Ye Fusheng frantically ran towards the exit, but the gate stopped him . I can escape! Hope emerged inside his heart .
But when he reached the exit, he noticed something wrong . \nâWhatâŠisâŠthat?â
Azure ice crystal sealed the entire exit of the tunnel! It was a dead-end! The ice crystal brilliantly gleamed against the morning sun .
âDamn it! Fuck!!â Ye Fusheng banged his hand against the ice wall . Even if he broke his hands from it, he didnât care .
Whatâs with this ice wall? Just when he thought he could escapeâŠ
Ye Fusheng drew his pistol and struggled, pulling the trigger and firing a full clip of bullets into the wall of ice that blocked his way out . But it was useless . It didnât work as the bullets couldnât do any damage at all .
If I didnât hurry⊠If i didnât hurry up⊠Ye Fusheng raised his head abruptly and the sudden realization . He looked back in horrorâŠ
Blood dripped from the demon standing on the gate .
âMerry Christmas, Professor YeâŠâ
Lucius stood in the tunnel, face to face with Ye Fusheng .
Ye Fusheng fell to the ground . Half leaning against the wall of ice at his back, his hand trembled as he held his pistol and pointing it at Lucius .
This pistol was the only thing he could rely on as all the 500 Black Watch troops had been eradicated . He killed every last one of them! The three nano-armored soldiers were also dead under the monsterâs hand . And now, he had nothing left to rely on!
Itâs impossible!Â
âI could have escaped! I could have escaped!â Ye Fusheng felt the cold sensation behind him .
Why did the ice wall appear? Why?!
âHow do you want to be eaten?â Lucius stood in front of Ye Fusheng and held up both of his hands . His index finger and thumb united together, forming a shape that resembled a pair of eyes . Luciusâs scarlet eyes looked at Ye Fusheng through the gaps .
âEaten from the head first? Or feet? No⊠no⊠just swallow it, one bite at a time . â
Ye Fusheng saw a crimson gap cracked open behind Lucius . Within the gap, thousands of pairs of scarlet eyes sharply staring at Ye Fusheng .
What was that? Hell?
âUhhhhâŠâ the muffled sounds of the dead began to ring out, one arm after another, reaching out from the crimson gap . Ye Fusheng immediately recognized them . Those were his own men! The soldiers who were killed by Lucius!
âAaaahhhhh!â
At this time, logic collapsed from his thought . Ye Fusnheng finally understood the meaning of Hakeinâs sentence . Sometimes, dying from a bullet through the brain was such a luxury .
Ye Fusheng raised his pistol against his head . Trying to pull the trigger, only to found that it was empty . He didnât have any single bullet left inside the pistol, and now, even suicide was a luxury he couldnât afford .
No!!
The soldiers who had turned into the army of living dead drowned Ye Fusheng .
No!!!
Countless zombies bit him pieces by pieces . After a few minutes, nothing but blood was left on the floor .
âArrogance⊠is a good emotion then . â
An exquisite emotion .
ArroganceâŠfor a human .
Lucius whispered .
Everything had calmed down . No one survived in the base .
At this moment, the ice wall crumbled down, dissipating into brilliant ice crystal that slowly disappeared in front of Lucius .
Lucius stood under the sunlight . The morning sun basked his pale skin tainted with blood .
âMasterâŠâ Arthas stood tall without her cloak, her long silver hair reflected the golden morning sun . Her cat ears shivered, indicating her emotions . Right now, Arthas looked like a pure, innocent ice crystal . Waiting to be tainted .
âWelcome backâŠâ
WelcomeâŠback?
A gentle smile bloomed across Luciusâs blood-stained face . His blood-stained hand reached out and gently touched Arthasâs forehead .
