Gu Zhuo was almost exhausted. Even after some inexplicable mutation, his current physical strength was already unbearable.
I have been walking in circles with those monsters for who knows how long, and my legs feel like they are filled with lead. Even the physical training on my first day as a soldier has never been so strenuous.
Chaoying was no better at this time.
Her physical strength was originally not as good as Gu Zhuo's. Even after her physical strength was improved, she was still far behind Gu Zhuo's physical strength.
She was breathing heavily at this time and could not feel the existence of her legs at all, as if running had become a mechanized operation.
Seeing that she was about to fall down at any moment, Gu Zhuo had quick eyesight and quick hands to support her.
After supporting her, Chaoying followed his arm and her body collapsed limply and completely out of control.
Seeing this, Gu Zhuo also half-hugged her, just like he held Sam with his other hand.
At this time, Gu Zhuo was holding Sam in one hand and Chao Ying in the other, struggling to support himself and running.
The screams of the monster behind him got closer and closer, and finally got so close that they seemed to be right behind Gu Zhuo, within a stone's throw away.
Seeing that it was about to dawn, the blood-colored sky had faded to the point where only a faint layer of pink was left. Gu Zhuo, who was unwilling to fall here, looked up to the sky and shouted:
"Here, let me run!"
After this roar and the last injection of chicken blood, Gu Zhuo gritted his teeth until blood came out of his lips.
He tried his best, feeling as if he was overdrawing his life, speeding up again, and once again distanced himself from the monster behind him that had reached out to grab him.
Gu Zhuo's eyes were dizzy, and his nose felt hot, as if something was rolling down.
It's already like this, and there's not much we can do about it.
He still held Sam and Chaoying tightly with both hands, as if the movement was engraved in DNA, and he never let go.
Chaoying was held by him and kept breathing heavily. Although she could no longer move her body, she was still conscious.
Seeing Gu Zhuo working so hard, Chao Ying suddenly felt how weighty and heavy the hands holding him were.
That is to say, during this section of the road where Gu Zhuo burned his life, the bloody night finally passed. The layer of pale pink like the setting sun also completely disappeared and turned into fish belly white, heralding the arrival of day.
The moment he saw the daylight, Gu Zhuo finally couldn't hold on any longer, paused heavily, and then fell to the ground.
"Fuck you, just die, I've fought hard!"
Gu Zhuo left these words in his heart, his eyes went dark at last, and his head was buzzing as if it was full of flies.
The next second, he fainted.
Chaoying fell to the ground with him, but she did not faint. She stood up, waited for a few seconds, and sat up from the ground panting.
The four monsters had already caught up with them. Their faces were ferocious and abominable. Under the illumination of the morning light, every disgusting and stomach-churning detail of their bodies was clearly visible.
Chaoying faced them and sat next to Gu Zhuo and Sam without fear.
Even if he died, it wouldn't be too bad to die with Gu Zhuo.
Such an idea suddenly appeared in Chaoying's mind.
She shook her head at her ridiculous idea, and then looked directly at the monsters coldly.
Those monsters have all caught up. They stretched out their hands, opened their hands covered with black sticky blood, and grabbed Chaoying in front of him.
In the next second, their disgusting hands would cover Chaoying's entire face.
Chao Ying closed her eyes, and unconsciously, her hand held Gu Zhuo's hand tightly.
...
The tearing pain he imagined did not come. On the contrary, Chaoying heard the desperate roars of those monsters.
She opened her eyes and looked at the monsters, and saw that they had retracted their hands, covering the top of her head with their hands, as if trying to block some sunlight, and howling crazily.
The sun has risen, and the sunlight is shining on them. The black blood armor covering their bodies will dry up immediately wherever it is hit by the sunlight, turning them into haggard wood.
After the blood armor completely dried up, the monsters' naked bodies were completely exposed to the sun.
Only then did Chaoying see clearly that the bodies of the monsters were almost transparent and pale, and the organs inside their bodies were also vaguely visible.
If you look carefully, you can see that the surfaces of those organs are covered with black threads, like dense spider webs.
The monsters were still howling in pain, completely ignoring the prey within easy reach.
Chaoying looked at their pale skin and organs, and suddenly saw a black heart beating violently in their chests under the layers of cobwebs!
The beating frequency of the black heart was very fast, more than two or three times faster than that of a normal person. Chaoying felt like it was double.
The moment she saw the black heart, an idea suddenly came to Chaoying's mind. She took out a pistol from her waist, which contained seven bullets.
She raised her pistol and aimed it at the beating black heart of the nearest monster.
At such a close distance, even she, a novice with firearms, could aim accurately.
Aiming at the heart, Chaoying counted silently for three seconds in her mind. Then she pulled the trigger and heard a "bang" sound. The bullet came out without any hindrance and hit the heart!
"boom!"
There was a crackling sound, and the black heart was hit, and instantly shattered like a glass wall.
The moment it shattered, black blood spurted out, splashing around like ink, and the monster's originally pale skin was immediately dyed black.
And the layer of spider silk attached to the surface of their organs instantly dried up, oxidized, and failed like the black blood armor.
Finally, it shrank into the cracked heart, looking like it had completely withered from the "roots".
The monster was shot in the heart and fell to the ground.
It twitched twice on the ground and then stopped moving.
The remaining three monsters did not care about the death of their companions at all. They were still covering their heads with their hands, screaming and retreating, as if they were looking for a place to block the sun.
Chaoying kicked the monster that fell to the ground to make sure that it didn't react at all. After it was completely dead, she continued to aim at the hearts of the remaining monsters.
Now that she has caught the weakness, she can't let them have a chance to escape!
She aimed at the hearts of the other monsters and shot them several times in succession.
Those monsters hadn't retreated too far, they were still very close, and none of the shots towards Ying missed.
Soon, after three gunshots, the remaining three monsters also fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and completely stopped moving.
Seeing that the danger was finally over, Chaoying breathed a sigh of relief, collapsed instantly, and sat down on the spot.
Gu Zhuo was still fainting on the ground at this time and did not wake up. Two lines of blood were flowing from the bottom of his nostrils. He must have been seriously injured just now.
Sam whined, broke away from Gu Zhuo's hand, stood up, and lay down next to Gu Zhuo. He pushed his head against Gu Zhuo, and when he saw that Gu Zhuo didn't respond, he looked pitifully towards Chaoying.
Chaoying wiped away the nosebleed for Gu Zhuo and comforted Sam.
Her physical strength has not yet fully recovered, so she can only sit there and take a breath.
While taking a breath, Chaoying carefully observed the monster lying on the ground in front of him.
It's a pity that she can't do anatomy and doesn't know much about medicine.
She could only vaguely see that the most essence of this monster was still a human corpse.
This human corpse seemed to have been drained of blood and then spliced together by various strange things. The entire body was mutilated. It was like a rag doll that had been broken and sewn back together.
And where they were originally shot by Gu Zhuo and sprouted black pus and blood clots, as their vitality died, the pus and blood clots completely disappeared, leaving only a human head with a huge hole.
Chaoying could bear to look at such a twisted corpse for so many more times. At this moment, her stomach was churning, and combined with such a large amount of exercise, she felt like her whole body was spinning.
She quickly moved her eyes away and turned her gaze to Gu Zhuo.
Gu Zhuo still doesn't know when he will wake up, but his strength has recovered a little.
Chaoying gritted her teeth, squatted down, and put Gu Zhuo's arm on her back. She hugged Gu Zhuo with her other hand and pulled him up from the ground with difficulty.
Gu Zhuo is a little over 180 meters tall, and he is a big man with muscles all over his body. Chaoying is very powerful even if he can hold him up.
After looking at the distance, it was really difficult to drag Gu Zhuo back. I was afraid that after all this, I would be so tired that I almost fainted.
But when he thought about Gu Zhuo struggling to hold him and run away just now, Chaoying gritted his teeth and decided to drag Gu Zhuo back to the factory even if he fainted.
She took Sam and supported Gu Zhuo, and slowly and laboriously moved step by step towards the factory where the Fortress of Doom was staying.
