Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

Chapter 13 Chapter 12

Hill was swallowed by the crocodile, and her first reaction was to close her eyes and wait for death.It's just that I don't want to be reconciled to doing this, thinking about how to struggle, otherwise I will lose face?So she immediately screamed "ahhhhhhhhh".It's just that she didn't expect to be startled by her scream, so she shut her mouth in a panic.Only then did she realize why it didn't hurt, why didn't the crocodile bite me with its teeth?Finally, she plucked up the courage and opened her eyes secretly.

She found herself in a strange hall, surrounded by black shadows, with many stone pillars all over the hall, supporting the roof at a height of more than 30 meters.She noticed that there were clouds of black smoke under her feet, they flowed slowly, no matter how hard she drove them, they could be replenished quickly, but they would not come out of the ground.

Turning his head to look behind him, Hill was startled.She saw a crumbling stone throne, occupying a smoke-free area all by itself.On the throne sits a skeleton monster wearing a gorgeous jeweled robe.The skeleton was motionless, with a particularly large pink skull on its shoulders, the material of which looked like jade, or it might be amber.There are black holes in the eye sockets of the skeleton, and the inside of the skull can't be seen at all, which feels a bit penetrating.Just below the Skeleton Throne, in the open space full of debris, a white-haired old man in a researcher's white coat was lying on his back, holding his chest with trembling hands, trying to squeeze out two words from his slightly opened mouth:

help me.

Hey, it's a common language, it seems to be the accent from the capital.Hill bravely stepped forward, followed the old man's trembling hands, and found the medicine bottle in his coat pocket.The old man seemed to mean to feed him medicine. Hill took a look at the medicine bottle, and it turned out to be emergency medicine for cardiovascular diseases.

Quickly unscrewed the bottle cap, stuffed a pill under the old man's tongue according to the handwritten instructions on the medicine bottle, held his chin to help him close his mouth, and waited for a few seconds.The medicine really worked, and it calmed down the old man after counting for ten seconds.His breathing gradually stabilized, and his head was no longer sweating randomly.When he was able to regain control of his hands, he hurriedly snatched back the medicine bottle, swallowed another pill, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"What were you babbling about just now! Your yelling almost scared me to death!" The old man said angrily, "If it wasn't for the sake of saving me, I would have sued you for bankruptcy!"

Hill felt aggrieved and dissatisfied with the old man.She thought to herself: I was eaten by the crocodile, can't I scream?Besides, I saved you, without even saying thank you?Judging by your outfit, you probably aren't a good person either!
"Help me up." Dr. Booker held out his hand.

Hill hated him even more, but it was because of the habit that her work unit forced her to develop. She stretched out her hand "involuntarily", and still pulled him up from the ground.Alas, not only did she hate the old man in front of her, but she also began to hate herself.Hill secretly wiped his hands behind his back. On the one hand, he wanted to stay away from the old man, and on the other hand, out of curiosity, he walked into the area occupied by the throne fragments.

"Ouch! My..." Hill suddenly covered his stomach with his hands, took two steps back in a hurry, and dropped a shoe in a stagger.

"what happened to you?"

"Leave me alone, I'm fine. I suddenly have a stomachache. I've always had this problem." Hill waved his hand and stood up wobbly.Strange to say, as soon as she left the debris area, her stomachache went away, as if it hadn't happened at all.

Hill thought of a possibility, and asked, "Hey, old...old man, have you always had a heart attack?"

As soon as she finished asking, she wanted to slap herself in the mouth.The old man carried first aid medicine with him, so he must have been ill for a long time, needless to say?In order not to appear stupid, she hastened to add: "I think this area relapses, maybe as a protective mechanism. Is there any shadow that can do that?"

"There are so many possibilities. Body control, mental attack, curse, and even the shadows of all creatures can do this. But..." Dr. Booker said: "They can't do this. Quick, you can still be so accurate. If this area will cause serious diseases, little girl, you should go in and try again."

"Why don't you go!" Hill clenched his fists and stomped his feet.

"I have a heart attack, and you just have a stomachache. The risks here are completely different! Cough, I know that in an unknown environment, women are unreliable and only yell."

"Hmph!" Hill folded his arms and took two steps away.

Zhuang Xuteng remained motionless, watching and listening to all of this, secretly happy in his heart.He certainly wouldn't regard these two people who suddenly appeared as friends as soon as he came up, and he must not relax the necessary vigilance.Seeing that they have conflicts, it reduces the possibility of the two of them uniting, which is definitely a good thing.

Seeing that the atmosphere was awkward, the old man wanted to ease the atmosphere, considering that his physical fitness was at a disadvantage after all.He tried to strike a chord with four questions: Who are you?where is thisHow did you get here?How is this going?

Not only the old man and the young lady had such questions, Zhuang Xuteng also wanted to know the answers to the four questions.Recalling just now, the bell stopped suddenly, and the surroundings suddenly returned to silence. That moment made people extremely uncomfortable.At the same time, the vortex of pink light turned into two groups of green clouds. The old man and the young lady emerged from the clouds one after the other with an interval of about 15 seconds.

Zhuang Xuteng didn't understand what happened, but he knew that he couldn't leave the throne, so he decided to stay still and wait and see what happened.

The old man came out of the green cloud first, sat back on the ground, and threw away a pair of glasses--the posture was as if someone had suddenly pulled his chair away.Since he was facing the throne, the old man saw Zhuang Xuteng at a glance.So he quickly glanced left and right, but couldn't see another group of silent green mist behind him, and walked straight towards the throne.

At that time Zhuang Xuteng was startled, his left hand had already clenched the golden scepter, ready to give him a stick at any time.

The old man was also quite bold. He was still walking halfway, and he had already reached out his hand to Zhuang Xuteng's pink skull head.Just as he stepped into the debris area, the young lady appeared from the green cloud and screamed directly, and the old man immediately fell down clutching his chest.Most of the credit for his sudden heart attack was probably due to that scream.

So everything that happened before happened: the old man was rescued by the young lady, and the two looked down on each other.

In fact, that voice scared Zhuang Xuteng quite a bit, and his body stiffened instantly.If not, he would probably reflexively try to help the old man who fell to the ground, instead of recovering after a shock and taking advantage of the time when they were fighting each other to observe the situation.

The old man was wearing a white coat commonly seen by researchers on his upper body, but the trousers underneath were casual shorts just below the knee, and a pair of loose thick-soled cloth shoes on his feet.He is generally unkempt, and after the style of clothing can basically take care of the appearance, the rest is as comfortable as possible. This just shows that he is not too restrained, and may have quite good authority or authority.Well, he also tucks the badge in his pocket instead of hanging it around his neck, just to make his neck comfortable, but it is easy to lose the badge, which is a safety hazard.If the average person did that in an institution, he'd get reprimanded a lot, and he obviously didn't care.

Zhuang Xuteng concentrated his eyes, and managed to read the words on the badge: Dr. Truth Booker, Director of the Law Research Department, Authority Level 2-A.Uh, Zhuang Xuteng doesn't know what this means.

Sister Screaming looked like a clerical staff in an office in terms of her attire. Her clothes were clean and tidy, but they were a little tight, as if they were half a size too small.Her badge was written with Hill Lee and a long list of employee numbers. Only the name was useful here, and the number was meaningless to Zhuang Xuteng.However, when saving people, this young lady dropped not only a shoe, but also the folder that was sent along with her.

The first page of the folder is a checklist, which reads: Dingxin Mochuang Peak Research Institute - Warehouse Item Verification Register (Standard A) - June 6 - Warehouse Sequence: First 25A04.

Zhuang Xuteng wrote down the information, and then thought about it while they were fighting each other.Obviously, these two people don't know how they got here, and the surprise, fear, panic and extreme curiosity they showed before are very real.

Combined with his own feelings, Zhuang Xuteng can fully understand their current performance.He believes that the next two people will be wary of each other first, and gradually they will start to cooperate due to the pressure of the unknown environment to try to solve the current predicament.

Since Zhuang Xuteng couldn't control the behavior of the hall and couldn't leave the throne, in order to protect himself, he didn't want those two people to join forces to deal with him.Seeing that the two began to get acquainted by introducing themselves to each other, Zhuang Xuteng decided to fight, seizing the opportunity of their ignorance of the current situation and misleading them.

So he moved his head and stepped forward with his right foot.It wasn't a big move, but enough for them to notice.

"It can move! It's alive!" Hill Lee's hairs stood on end, and he quickly covered his mouth, fearing that he would scream again. "Doctor, what is this?"

"I'm not sure, it might be a lich, or a witch ritual, or a skeleton hag, a necromancer, or even just a skeleton model controlled by electricity, or a talking projection..." Dr. Booker shook his head , Said: "You don't want to rely on the past, how can I guess! And the most important thing now is not to find out what this is, but to know where we are!"

"I don't know that we are... no, doctor, it moved just now, will it be very dangerous? Will it kill us?"

"It has the ability to bring me here from the laboratory. If it wants to kill me, just throw me into the sea and drown. I can't swim, and I don't even have to throw it to the bottom of the sea." Dr. Booker frowned slightly , said: "I believe it has intelligence, otherwise it would not be able to complete such a fast and precise transmission. I..."

He didn't finish that sentence, but frowned and glanced at Hill secretly.He didn't know the origin of the pink skull, nor did he know the origin of the woman beside him.Judging by her performance, she is bluffing, this kind of person is likely to be a hindrance.Even if I figured out something, there was no need to share it with her.

Hill has been guarding against that voyeuristic rogue boss all day long, and she has practiced a lot, which makes her so sensitive to other people's peeking eyes!Another old pervert—she obviously misunderstood Dr. Booker—and the old man started thinking about taking advantage?What means are you going to use? Is it knowledge and insight?Anyway, relying on those old arms and legs, unless you secretly installed a shadow slave, don't even try to touch me!
No need for Zhuang Xuteng to try hard, they have already differentiated themselves.
