Chapter 9 9. Two or three things about Hairy Mason
Mason is much more receptive to traveling across the world than the average person.
Because he himself traveled through time.
Although it was soul time travel, it did not affect the sensitivity of young people towards "time travel". When he stepped through the "door to the world" opened by Old K, Mason even had an indescribable desire in his mind. .
Maybe by stepping out, I can return to the ordinary but real days three days ago, and continue to happily implement my big plan to travel around the world on a budget.
That was the first thing he wanted to accomplish after he turned thirty.
But of course such good things will not happen in a ghost place full of zombies.
"Bang, bang, bang"
Very rhythmic gunshots echoed in the ruins of the station waiting hall, mixed in with the roars of a group of zombies and the constant noise of explosions.
This light sniper shotgun, which does not have an outstanding appearance but is unique on the inside, feels very good in the hand. The scene where Mason makes a zombie's head bloom every time he pulls the trigger at a distance of nearly 300 meters also made the onlookers' hearts ache. The sense of security is greatly improved.
He looked at the mute young man in surprise.
The simple-looking shotgun didn't even have a scope. With the naked eye, a moving zombie at a distance of 300 meters was almost a black dot in a normal person's field of vision.
But this young man fired twenty rounds and hit the target!
"It must be a super shooting skill!"
Kite Man grabbed Mason's "Friendly Support" engineering team to assemble the gun, and thought to himself:
"Oh, I originally thought we were good teammates, but I didn't expect that he is also a hidden boss."
The inexplicable sense of loss at this moment made Kite Man almost cry, and then he was kicked hard by Mason.
The young man pointed in another direction.
Although the zombie wave inspired by Bomb Girl came from the front, the station that was blown into ruins had no decent defense. There were also sporadic zombies approaching the area from behind.
"Oh, I understand! Look at me!"
Kite Man understood immediately after being kicked. He took a few steps back to sense the wind direction in the area, and then pressed the switch on his chest while Mason stared at him sideways.
With a swish sound, a huge diamond-shaped kite bounced off the backpack on his back. The lift brought by the wind direction made the guy jump into the air with cheers.
Like a kite artist, he manipulated his kite to flexibly fly high and low in this complex terrain.
The pistol in his hand also kept firing, knocking the zombies near Platform Nine and Three-Quarters to the ground.
Of course, hit the head!
This is the first rule of thumb when dealing with zombies.
While reloading, Mason took a moment to glance at the green flying man flying in mid-air. This Kite Man is the guy who is almost at the bottom of Gotham's three-tier villains. This guy is more of a comedian than a villain.
His story is actually quite tragic.
However, this guy's character has always been optimistic and he doesn't have so many bad intentions. As a Gotham villain, he actually rents a terrible apartment and has a roommate who shares the rent with him.
This is why Mason chose Kite Man as his temporary partner.
A villain who is willing to pay rent on time and endure the same worries of life as ordinary people can't be any worse.
As for the two guys, Bomb Girl and Count Vertigo, Mason is also very familiar with their stories. To put it simply, these two bastards are the kind of "traditional villains" who will enjoy VIP treatment even if they go to hell.
If they hung out in Gotham, they would be "Arkham regulars".
"One minute left!"
When Mason's sniper kill streak reached 77, Old K, who had been busy breaking the barrier, threw a bottle of black liquid at the stone pillar. He said without looking back:
"That's almost it, let them in! How many times have I told you that teammates must unite!"
"嘁"
Mason curled his lips and lowered the muzzle of his equipped gun, then released the flying bomb and whizzed away with two explosions sweeping through the group of screaming corpses 300 meters away.
This wave of support comes at just the right time.
Bomb Girl and Count Dizzy, who were extremely exhausted from being surrounded by zombies and bombarding them all the time, instantly saw the possibility of a breakthrough.
They rushed out of the encirclement with a roar, and you pushed me to get across the narrow gap in front of you.
Earl Dizzy even threw his own abilities on Bomb Girl, causing her to stumble and fall to the ground while running, and then he ducked into the passage under the collapsed floor.
"Fake Squid!"
The disgraced bomb girl spoke with the quintessence of a foreign country.
If she hadn't been busy escaping, she would have blasted the bastard in front of her into a pulp to satisfy her hatred.
But her situation is not that bad. Mason's assault support ensures that as long as a large number of zombies surround her, a hail of bullets will fly over to buy her time.
So after rolling and crawling dizzy, Bomb Girl successfully got into the escape tunnel.
She was also very smart. When she rushed over, she ignored the pain in her body and grabbed the brick at hand and threw it into the passage behind her. The thing exploded the moment the Explosive Girl injected energy into the gap in the passage and hit it.
Completely blow up the wall next to the obstacle, completely blocking the zombies' path forward.
"Behind you! Behind you! Run!"
The kite man who was controlling the kite to fly over waved his hands in mid-air and shouted at the relieved Explosive Woman. The latter suddenly turned around and saw a strange red figure quickly crawling along the wall of the ruins. .
She hissed, bending her arms and legs to fall from the sky like an alien spider.
The arms that twisted and grew like sickles almost killed Explosive Girl on the spot. The face that was once cute and angelic now turned as ferocious as a devil. The Explosive Girl screamed in fear and rolled down the slope.
The Kite Man kept firing in mid-air, but he couldn't hit the alien zombie that moved very randomly.
But Old K also released the barrier on the platform at this moment. He whistled and waved to his team members, and then he was the first to rush into the stone pillar in front of him.
It was somewhat strange to see a living person disappear in front of a white stone pillar, but Bomb Girl and Count Dizzy didn't care about that after escaping from death.
Seeing the way out, the two guys rushed in again fighting for each other. The kite man controlled the kite to fall. He glanced at Mason who was still there and shouted:
"Run! That thing is hard to hit."
"Bang"
The moment the free aiming frame was locked, the young man pulled the trigger.
The scorching hot bullets triggered double damage, causing the left leg of the spider zombie of the little girl in red to fly to explode.
He glanced at the Kite Man faintly.
The latter shrugged awkwardly and said:
"It seems you can handle it, man, I'll go over first."
This guy also passed through the stone pillar, leaving Mason alone on the platform facing the alien zombies that were still howling and coming towards him with broken legs.
She was only seven or eight years old, the most carefree time in a child's life.
That withered blond hair must once have been very lovable. This little guy was also a "stinky baby" in the mouth of a certain pair of parents, a cutie who brought happiness to others in a certain happy family.
But this disaster changed everything overnight.
It showed beautiful things in front of Mason, and ruthlessly tore them into pieces, just like the severely rotten and distorted face in front of him, which no longer had innocence but desolation.
"Ka"
The blast shotgun was turned back behind him, and the double-barreled shotgun was drawn out. The bullet was loaded and the muzzle was raised. Mason looked at the twisted figure coming towards him with a compassionate look.
He said softly:
"The nightmare is over, little cutie. Go home, your parents have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Bang"
The alien zombies flew up, their alienated tongues covered with barbs piercing Mason like a snake, and the sinful trigger was also pulled at this moment.
The ruthless fire pushed the projectiles roaring forward and burning, completely submerging another soul tortured by nightmares.
The moment flesh and blood exploded like a scythe, the young man turned around without hesitation and rushed into the white stone pillar behind him. At this moment, he was filled with disgust for this zombie country.
Compared with here, even Gotham City, which has "simple folk customs", looks so sunny.
The moment Mason melted into the stone pillars of the September Three-Quarters Platform, a reminder lit up in front of his eyes:
"Successfully completed an outstanding special alien creature shooting, shooting skill proficiency increased by
Unlock the character trait [Cold-blooded Gunner: Double the proficiency during headshot execution]"
Before the young man could figure out what this talent meant, the moment he rushed into the magic platform, he heard a fierce explosion and Old K's sharp scolding:
"What the hell are you doing? Get on top of me!"
"Huh?"
When Mason heard this, he realized something was wrong. Is there also a fight here? And it can make the old K, who has always been hypocritical and pretentious, into such a violent state.
It seems that his "teammates" are performing badly.
"Ah!"
Just as he was thinking, a scream sounded in front of him.
The young man moved a step and dodged lightly, and then the kite man spun and was smashed towards him.
The tough prismatic kite on the back of this unlucky guy was completely tattered, and there were still vicious claw marks and dirty blood on it. This guy was almost cut into pieces on the spot.
Mason raised his gun and looked up at the empty magic platform in front of him, and saw the three men of Old K fighting a huge monster.
It was a terrifying figure.
It is more than three meters tall and looks like a half-giant.
It was wrapped in a black moleskin coat that was stained with blood and smelly. It was stained with blood and scorched bullet holes, as well as marks of being cut open by sharp weapons and bombarded by magic.
The twisted and swollen body after turning into a zombie made this guy look like a moving mountain of meat. There was green poisonous gas wrapped around him, which made the faces of Bomb Girl and Count Dizzy turn green when they were forced to go up.
Old K took off the crossbow from his back and kept shooting from a safe distance with both hands.
The flying arrows were entwined with weird flashes of light. The moment they hit the target, they would trigger dazzling lightning or gloomy ice and explosive fire. With this magical attack, he had already exploded the arms of the giant zombie.
The big face of the zombie giant's giant blood descendant is covered with torn and rotten skin, his eyes are as pale as hell creatures, and weird proliferated canine teeth can be vaguely seen in the overturned teeth.
The most important thing is that this guy's forehead has been smashed to pieces by Old K, and even the shriveled and scarlet brain can be seen in the staggering crawling body covered with rancidity.
It roared back.
Every time the big claws hit it, the entire platform would shake, and it was obviously dragged down by the ability to stun the Earl, causing it to stagger and even fall down when walking and attacking.
The messy hair and long beard like a dwarf are also covered with pieces of flesh blown away by the explosion caused by the explosive woman.
It looked very sloppy and miserable.
But Mason still recognized this guy's true identity immediately.
"Hagrid?"
The young man exclaimed in his heart.
This good-tempered big man actually turned into a zombie, and became a more dangerous alien zombie than the girl in red on the external platform.
The moment he recognized him, Mason felt a chill in his heart.
This world-class zombie disaster has nothing to do with the magical world!
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain that a righteous wizard like Rubeus Hagrid and a senior member of the Order of the Phoenix, who was once a member of the protagonist group, would be infected by the virus.
It seems that wizards are also victims of this disaster, and their situation is no better than the outside world that has become a wasteland.
"Mason! I rescued you just to let you stand there and watch the fun?"
Old K's shouts were filled with anger, and he roared:
"My magic arrows are not for use here! Use your damn bullets to kill this thick-skinned guy! He has already turned into a zombie and can still heal himself. The self-transformation of these wizards is so damned!"
< br>
Mason grabbed the blaster shotgun behind his back, took a deep breath, and raised the gun in a kneeling position.
The free aiming frame in the light curtain in front of him kept beating, and finally locked on Hagrid's exposed and shriveled forehead, which was obviously healing. Then he fired six shots in a row, hitting the target.
The twice-triggered critical hits with double damage successfully completely exploded zombie Hagrid's brain.
After the latter fell to the ground, Mason threw out several flying bombs that exploded blood and flesh everywhere. Then he stepped forward with his gun. While the others gasped, he pulled out the double-barreled hand cannon on his waist and aimed at the dirty blood. The big head splattered with two shots in a row.
The power of a single-point projectile loaded with engineering gunpowder at this distance is considerable.
"Successfully completed an outstanding special alien creature shooting and headshot execution, and the shooting skill proficiency increased by X20."
After the reminder of the latter's complete death came on, the young man breathed a sigh of relief.
In the dead silence, Mason expressionlessly opened the barrel of the hand cannon, took out a thumb-thick bullet and loaded it in. He then bent down and fished out a handful of zombie Hagrid's body.
First, they found a set of motorcycle keys from Hagrid's blood-stained belt, and then pulled out a rough giant hunting knife from his large boots.
Just when Mason was about to take off Hagrid's black moleskin coat that was full of bullet holes and burn marks, the people next to him finally understood what he was doing.
"Hey! We all killed this monster together! Everyone should have a share of the spoils!"
The explosive woman stood up holding her belly, her embarrassed and displeased face full of displeasure. She still remembered how Mason used her as a zombie bait to practice shooting leisurely.
She screamed:
"We have paid much more than you, and you are not qualified to take that much!"
As she spoke, she walked towards the huge corpse, seemingly planning to join in the touching of the trophies, but there was a loud gunshot, and the flying bullet accurately hit the bomb girl's feet.
Rubble flew everywhere, stopping her in her tracks.
Mason in front of him continued to collect the loot without looking back.
The double-barreled hand cannon in his left hand, which looked very rough but full of intimidation, was pointed at Bomb Girl. The black barrel was still filled with smoke, and the ejected shells were beating around his feet.
The meaning of this move is obvious.
Old K, who was watching, glanced at the conflict between the "new team members" while retrieving his magic arrow. His eyes stayed on Mason for a few seconds, as if he didn't see anything and had no intention of getting involved.
The tense scene made the explosion woman's eyes become even more angry.
Her hands began to wrap around with boiling energy, and Earl Dizzy also stood up, quietly moved to the side of the explosive woman, and threw a blow at her: "Although I cheated you just now, don't worry about those little things. Now we We're in a group" look.
As for the Kite Man.
The unlucky guy was almost slapped to death by zombie Hagrid.
He was limping over now. Although he was obviously scared, he still stood tremblingly on Mason's side.
He finally understood.
Only Old K and Mason are the real big guys in this team.
Explosive Woman and Count Vertigo are just cannon fodder reserves who have failed to achieve anything. In the Joker Gang, bastards like you who can't understand the situation will be fed to Batman by the boss!
"唰"
Mason glanced at Explosive Woman and Count Dizzy indifferently, waved and threw the black mole leather jacket that exuded a disgusting smell to Kite Man, and inserted the giant-style hunting knife into his waist.
He threw the bunch of keys into his backpack again, then took out a small can of fuel and poured it on the corpse of the zombie Hagrid. He took a few steps back and fired a bullet to ignite it.
The flames rose and burned.
The 2V2 confrontation seemed to be ignited.
Until a few seconds later, Old K coughed and said:
"The train will arrive in an hour. Do you want to fight now to determine the outcome, or do you wait for the train to come and fight in the carriage? I am not urging you, but if you must fight, I advise you Hurry up.
I finally understand why this magic academy has been discovered for so long but no one has explored it. The danger here is higher than some weak B-level worlds.
So, everyone, as the captain, I would like to make a suggestion.
Why don't you all take some time to take a break? Infighting or something back a little bit? "(End of Chapter)
