Chapter 22 Yaden Seal
Chapter 22 Yaden Seal
Wesker smiled knowingly, then ordered, "Red Queen, unlock all the areas and release all the zombies and those eight little pets from the Hive."
The Red Queen's emotionless voice replied, "Yes, Mr. Wesker, I have obeyed your orders."
Meanwhile, Geralt and his group cautiously re-entered Restaurant B, a terrifying place that made everyone feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Everyone, hurry up and get out of here as soon as possible."
After saying that, Matthew sped up and started jogging.
The others, without any objection, quickly followed suit.
The group carefully avoided the surrounding containers and pipes on the ground, afraid of accidentally bumping into them and waking up the lickers inside.
But just as Matthew and his group were about to leave Restaurant B, Geralt's ears twitched slightly, and he immediately warned, "Stop, there's noise!"
Matthew and the others ahead were indeed mercenaries; their professionalism was quite good. As soon as Geralt finished speaking, they stopped immediately.
Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, and the others subconsciously took a step or two before stopping.
At this moment, everyone stopped in place, slowed their breathing, carefully observed their surroundings, and listened carefully to the sounds around them.
The air suddenly became quiet, so quiet that Zheng Zha could hear Li Xiaoyi's slightly trembling breathing and Zhu Peng swallowing.
Suddenly, a strange sound gradually grew clearer as it approached, and now even people other than Geralt could hear it clearly.
"Pat-pat, pat-pat, pat-pat."
The sound became clearer and clearer, and everyone pricked up their ears, trying to find the source of the sound, but found that the sound seemed to be heard from all directions.
"Geralt, gun!"
Matthew lowered his voice and looked at Geralt.
Matthew's voice was anxious and uneasy, with even a hint of pleading in his tone.
Geralt did not hesitate and immediately returned the spare guns that the mercenaries had brought to Matthew and the others.
Just as Matthew and the others got their guns, the person who created the sound revealed their true identity to everyone.
"hiss……"
Zheng Zha couldn't help but gasp, and Li Xiaoyi's legs went weak.
Eight Doberman zombie dogs, their skin ulcerated and their bodies covered in blood and gore, blocked their path.
Two in each direction—front, back, left, and right—completely blocked Geralt and his group.
The "thud, thud" sound we just heard was the sound of those zombie dog paws hitting the ground.
Eight zombie dogs stared at the group, their mouths dripping with saliva onto the ground, looking utterly drooling.
"Semi-automatic mode for the submachine gun. Be careful not to hit the container next to you."
The group huddled together back to back, and Matthew, watching the approaching zombie dogs, gave the order.
At this moment, Li Xiaoyi swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly, and said, "Brother Zhang Jie, what if I can't hit the target?"
"I'm worried about hitting the containers next to it."
Li Xiaoyi's words also reflected the concerns of Zheng Zha and others.
Matthew and the other mercenaries were speechless upon hearing this. Rain, in particular, wanted to glare fiercely at Li Xiaoyi, but dared not look away, and could only say:
"Kid, you don't need to fire, just stay hidden."
Zhang Jie didn't say anything, but Ryan said what he wanted to say.
At this moment, Geralt said to the mercenary beside him:
"You don't need to fire later, just cover for them. Let a few of them handle it."
Before the mercenaries could raise any questions, Geralt quickly ordered, "Wait a minute, Zheng Zha in front is your responsibility, Zhan Lan on the left is your responsibility, Zhu Peng on the right is your responsibility, and Li Xiaoyi, you guard the rear."
Zhan Lan, Zheng Zha, and Zhu Peng immediately set off and stood in the positions designated by Geralt.
Although the three of them were also feeling uneasy, they believed that Geralt would not harm them, otherwise Geralt would not have helped them in the first place.
Li Xiaoyi's legs were so weak he couldn't move. He said worriedly, "Brother Geralt, the zombie dogs are too fast, unlike the slow speed of zombies. I'm afraid I won't be able to aim accurately."
Geralt knew that Li Xiaoyi was young, so he encouraged him, "Don't worry about fighting. I'll help you later. It'll be fine."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoyi gritted his teeth, finally mustered his courage, took a step forward, and stood guard at the rear.
Matthew and the other mercenaries did not question Geralt, but they did not lower the guns they were pointing at the zombie dogs.
Anyway, if Zheng Zha and the others don't make it later, Matthew and the others will definitely step in; they won't gamble with their lives.
Even though Geralt can set things on fire and freeze things, and he's a master of magic, he can't cure the T-virus.
After listening to the Red Queen's explanation, the mercenaries present understood that if they were infected with the T-virus, they could only wait to die.
Suddenly, Geralt used the Arden sign, extending his palm and slamming it onto the ground. Magic gathered in his palm, and a purple magic circle quickly appeared beneath everyone's feet.
The purple patterns seemed to come alive, spreading outwards in a flash and forming a magic circle with a diameter of 6 meters covering the area.
Upon seeing this, Zhan Lan's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Is it the Arden Sign?"
"That's right."
Geralt confirmed Janlan's guess.
Geralt's crouching posture as he cast the Yrdin Sign seemed to be interpreted by the zombie dogs as a provocation and a signal to launch an attack.
The eight zombie dogs that had been slowly approaching suddenly accelerated and pounced on Geralt and his companions.
Zheng Zha and his three companions gripped their guns tightly, their eyes fixed intently on the charging zombie dogs.
Matthew and his team dared not be careless in the slightest. If anything went wrong, they would immediately open fire to eliminate the zombie dogs.
The eight Doberman zombie dogs ran at an extremely fast speed, far exceeding their running speed in life.
The distance that was originally tens of meters away from the group shrank in the blink of an eye.
Twenty meters, fifteen meters, ten meters, seven meters, six meters.
The eight zombie dogs had just pounced into the purple Yarden sign magic circle when their bodies suddenly froze. Their originally swift attack was instantly slowed down by half, as if a video had been slowed down.
Zheng Zha and the others could clearly see the trajectory of each of the zombie dog's paws as they touched the ground, and its roars were drawn out, sounding as if they were coming from a distance.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang..."
Zheng Zha and the others felt much more at ease and confidently opened fire. Even Li Xiaoyi's eyes were filled with excitement as he repeatedly pulled the trigger.
After the gunshots, eight zombie dogs were shot and fell to the ground.
Zheng Zha and his group of four killed four zombie dogs, while the remaining four zombie dogs were easily finished off by Matthew and his group who were standing nearby.
Zheng Zha fired three shots: one hit the dog's leg, one hit its body, and only one hit the zombie dog's head.
Zhu Peng fired two shots, one hitting the zombie dog in the abdomen and the other going into its gaping maw.
It took Zhan Lan four shots to kill the zombie dog. The sharp-eyed Geralt noticed that Zhan Lan had probably killed a male zombie dog.
Because Zhan Lan fired a shot that shattered the zombie dog's testicles.
