Chapter 71: Arrival at the laboratory

Just then, over a dozen Zombie Dogs suddenly jumped onto the roof of the train from both sides.

Zhang Shiya immediately raised her submachine gun and aimed at the source of the sound above.

“Don’t worry, sister, they can’t get in, and they won’t be saying hello to you,” Zhang Shiyu said with a smile.

The train was sealed, and the Zombie Dogs’ strength wasn’t enough to penetrate the metal plating above.

They were quickly thrown off the speeding train.

Just as Zhang Shiya breathed a sigh of relief, a figure suddenly crashed through the nearby window and rushed into the train.

This sudden change startled Zhang Shiya.

She immediately aimed her submachine gun at the dark figure and opened fire.

Sparks flew.

The submachine gun bullets hitting the dark figure made a sound like metal clashing.

The dark figure let out a low growl and ran towards another carriage.

“It’s that Licker.”

Zhang Shiyu, holding her submachine gun, charged forward with an excited look on her face.

“Xiao Yu, wait for me.” Although Zhang Shiya was a little scared, she still followed closely behind.

In the front carriage, Li Ruoshu saw the two chasing after it but said nothing.

After all, this Licker indeed needed to be dealt with.

With the strength of these two sisters, plus their equipment being different from when they were in beginner mode, killing a Licker wasn’t difficult.

Therefore, Li Ruoshu didn’t follow them, but instead stayed with Chu Huairou to protect Chu Ruoxue.

As members of the Black Rose team, the strength of these two sisters was not to be underestimated.

From the Licker landing to them opening fire, there was almost no hesitation, and the bullets all hit softer areas like its abdomen.

Otherwise, the Licker wouldn’t have run away in pain.

A few minutes later, in a certain carriage, Zhang Shiyu finally found the Licker that had fled in pain.

It was lying on the ground, gnawing on something.

Zhang Shiyu pressed her back against the metal door of the carriage, adjusted her position, and unleashed a burst of gunfire from her submachine gun.

Every shot accurately hit, causing sparks to erupt on the Licker’s body.

The residual heat from the muzzle scorched her palm through her tactical gloves.

Dozens of smoking bullet casings lay at her feet.

“Xiao Yu, it’s on the ceiling!” Zhang Shiya’s shout mixed with the roar of the train.

The young girl leapt into the air, using the seats to propel herself, then kicked off the luggage rack with her tactical boots.

She accurately threw a grenade, predicting the Licker’s position.

Boom!

The Licker’s wails made the train windows hum.

This three-meter-tall monster hung upside down from the train’s ceiling vent, its exposed muscle fibers wriggling like blood-red earthworms, glaring viciously at the two girls who had attacked it.

A long root-like tongue flicked out, preparing to counterattack them.

“Xiao Yu, close your eyes!”

After shouting this, Zhang Shiya threw a flashbang and twisted her body, rolling away.

The moment the blinding light exploded in the carriage, the roar of the shotgun and the sound of tempered glass shattering occurred simultaneously.

In the last second before closing her eyes, Zhang Shiyu furiously sprayed the Licker with her submachine gun, shattering even the train window, allowing a biting cold wind to rush into the carriage.

While the Licker was disoriented, Zhang Shiya pulled two green grenades from her tactical vest.

She threw them at the Licker again, and an explosion boomed.

The Licker let out a wail.

Amidst the towering wall of fire, Zhang Shiyu’s precise bursts hit the tumor on the Licker’s head.

The fierce firepower easily broke through the tumor.

The Licker convulsed, crashing into the carriage connection, and finally fell off the train, easily run over by the rapidly moving train.

“An Adventurer has perfectly killed a Licker, obtaining a Licker’s illustration.”

The moment the Licker died, this notification also appeared in Chen Yu’s mind.

It actually dropped a card?

That’s really not bad.

Throughout the day, he had received many such high-level monster illustration cards.

Chen Yu sipped his cola, happily watching the live broadcast of the competition.

He would occasionally receive one or two cards, which felt pretty good.

“These professional players are still the best; the probability of dropping cards is higher with them.”

There were only two ways to increase the card drop rate.

One was to upgrade the castle level.

The second was to create difficult conditions for the Adventurers.

The more challenging the situation in which a monster was killed, the easier it was to obtain a card.

Therefore, the drop rate for professional players was definitely higher than for ordinary Adventurers.

The scene of the two sisters killing the Licker was naturally seen by Adventurers outside, and their brilliant operations greatly excited them.

The number of viewers in the entire live stream also grew, and by now, under the promotion of the Adventurer’s Guild, almost the entire Tidal Town knew about this matter.

They all gathered in the live stream, no longer wanting to challenge the Dungeon.

“As expected of a member of Black Rose, not only is Li Ruoshu incredibly strong, but the others are also very powerful.”

“Yeah, usually if a small team encounters a Licker, it’s practically a death sentence, but they can even chase and fight a Licker.”

“It just goes to show that the operations of the big shots are different from ours.”

After the Licker was killed, the train also arrived deep within the Hive Base.

It seemed to have been attracted by the sound of the train’s operation, as countless zombies lunged forward, baring their fangs and claws.

“Get off, clear the zombies!”

Chu Huairou threw several grenades, clearing out a circle of zombies below.

Immediately after, the five people disembarked from the train and opened fire on the zombies.

With the support of powerful firepower, the zombies along the side of the train were quickly cleared.

The group walked towards the laboratory deeper inside.

A few minutes later, several more figures jumped out from the last carriage of the train.

Chen Yuxuan looked at the direction the Black Rose team had left, a slight smile on her lips.

With Black Rose leading the way, they essentially didn’t need to engage in combat; they only needed to use their military knives to kill any scattered zombies.

Another burst of gunfire echoed from ahead.

As expected, Black Rose had encountered another Licker.

“A Xuan, should we get involved?” Chen Jiu asked, holding his automatic rifle, looking at the girl beside him. “If we launch a surprise attack now, I’m confident I can kill them all.”

Chen Yuxuan shook her head.

“Just follow them. The terrain here is more complex than we imagined, and there are more enemies than we thought. We also need to be careful; there should be Lickers nearby.”

Chen Jiu nodded.

Most other areas only had one or two high-level monsters, but here, several Lickers had already appeared.

The number might even be higher.

The situation was somewhat beyond their expectations.

However, before he could finish speaking, a shadow suddenly darted out of the darkness and pounced on the shortest boy in the team.

“Zhao He!”

Chen Jiu let out a low cry, raised his automatic rifle, and fired, attempting to repel the figure.

However, the Licker not only didn’t retreat but instead wobbled and continued to lunge towards Zhao He.

Chen Yuxuan immediately raised the shotgun hanging on her chest, aimed, and fired.

Bang!

As the strongest close-range weapon, the shotgun, with just two shots, repelled the Licker, and shattered pellets hit its forehead.

In pain, it instinctively tried to retreat.

However, Chen Jiu’s automatic rifle was already aimed at it, and a shot blew apart its vulnerable head.

Having killed a Licker, it was no surprise that Black Rose would have heard the commotion from their side.

The Jiu Xuan Team’s identity also changed from trackers; both sides now knew of each other’s existence.

Over here, Black Rose had already killed three Lickers.

Hearing the gunshots from behind, Chu Huairou gave a meaningful look to the Zhang Shiya sisters.

The two immediately understood and remained in place.
