Chapter 6 6. Ghoul Killer
A few minutes later, the three finally put on the training armor dropped by the black-robed jailer. Especially Wang Yuxi, who had a big belly and had to go through a lot of trouble to put on the breastplate.
"Bang." The electric switch suddenly jumped, the lights in the corridor and corridor were turned off, the emergency lights were on, and the blood light seeping in from the corridor window became more ruddy, like blood smeared on the wall.
Wang Chengzhi clenched the kitchen knife he took out from the kitchen and followed Su Hong, "Brother Su Hong, what does that monster look like?"
After all, he is a young man. Compared to Wang Yuxi and Chen Liming, Wang Chengzhi quickly accepted the reality of the end of the world.
But he didn't realize the horror of the disaster monster. Su Hong even heard a feeling of eagerness to try in his tone.
"Proceed with caution." Su Hong just glanced at him without explaining much.
The armor made a metallic collision sound, and the four of them quickly descended to the fifth floor.
In the corridor on the fifth floor, residents who did not know the situation were talking to each other, and they seemed to want to go downstairs to check the situation.
Seeing Su Hong and the others wearing funny iron barrel armor, the residents were stunned for a moment, then smiled and came over without any precautions.
Su Hong scolded: "Stay here and don't come out."
If his memory served him right, these five were among the people attacked by ghouls in the last simulation.
Wang Yuxi came out to smooth things over, "Haifeng, you go back first, there are monsters down there."
A middle-aged man named Haifeng said impatiently: "Wang Yuxi, what nonsense are you talking about? This corridor is not owned by your family. If you don't let me leave, I won't leave."
"The power goes out every three days. Do you still want to work in this property? Get out of the way. I don't know what you are doing. You are still wearing such rags."
The five people from Haifeng pushed Wang Yuxi's bloated body away, almost knocking him down, and walked straight downstairs.
Wang Chengzhi helped Wang Yuxi up and asked in a low voice: "Brother Su Hong, didn't you say there were monsters down there and let them go like this?"
Su Hong's face was expressionless, "Some people want to die, but you can't persuade them."
As soon as he finished speaking, screams and Lu Haifeng's horrified shouts came from downstairs, "Weird...monster?!"
"Is there really a monster?!" Wang Yuxi and the others were shocked.
Su Hong's eyes narrowed, "Follow me."
Lu Haifeng's life and death had nothing to do with him, but the corpse had a lot to do with him.
Su Hong ran downstairs quickly, his body as agile as if the heavy armor didn't exist.
Among the three, Chen Liming, who often did farm work and had the strongest physical strength, was panting a little trying to keep up with Su Hong.
"Old Chen, wait for me."
Wang Yuxi had not yet adapted to the heavy armor, so she held on to the handrail of the stairs and staggered down.
"Run!" A sound of panic came from downstairs, and the smell of blood was astonishing to the nostrils. Only four of the five people who went down before escaped back in embarrassment.
Wang Chengzhi looked around and his pupils shrank sharply. Lu Haifeng's right arm was empty, leaving only the blood-stained short sleeves hanging down. He himself was dragged up like a dog, with blood flowing all over the floor.
Before he could recover, a roar accompanied by a smelly wind hit him.
"Bang!" Wang Chengzhi was thrown to the ground by the black shadow with twisted limbs. His eyes could clearly see the monster's face through the holes in the helmet——
The corpse's skin was dark and tattered, with exposed purple muscles, and its blood-red eyes were staring at him. The uneven yellow-stained teeth radiated a stench that almost made him faint.
The monster's arms, twisted and bony like tree branches, smacked down with a loud bang, and the breastplate suddenly dented.
"Ahhhh!! Monster!" Wang Chengzhi was completely panicked, his tone was panic, and he waved the kitchen knife around randomly, but he didn't hit the corpse at all.
"Get out of the way."
Su Hong's calm voice suddenly sounded. He crossed Chen Liming, kicked the corpse away, and then slashed at it with a knife.
"Ho!" The corpse ghost was flexible and strong, climbed up the wall, and dodged the knife.
"Death to me!" Wang Yuxi shouted angrily, raised the knife at the top of the stairs, and threw himself at him with his whole body.
As expected, the corpse climbed up to the ceiling, and Wang Yuxi jumped into the air. His bloated body hit the wall and overturned the cardboard boxes stacked on the stairs.
Ignoring the two men's miserable performances, Su Hong and the corpse ghost both saw the bloodlust in their eyes.
He didn't expect Wang Yuxi and the others to play a big role. As long as they could help contain the monster in front of him, he would always have a way to disembowel it. "Roar!" The corpse ghost pounced down, its blood-red claws shining with a strange light.
Su Hong had done this the last time he simulated. How could he be careless this time? So he rolled forward and avoided the attack.
"Su Hong, I'm here."
Uncle Chen Liming risked being knocked down and slashed at him with his knife.
The two figures intertwined, and he was knocked down by the ghoul, but the kitchen knife was also embedded in the ghoul's arm. The muscles broke like steel cables, and the ghoul let out bursts of roars.
Bloody light shone in from the corridor window, and its pitch-black skin was stained with a faint layer of blood, making it look even more ferocious and terrifying.
"Boom!" Two fists hit Chen Liming's helmet, the iron barrel was dented, and he was stunned.
"Get away!"
Su Hong was angry, his figure was stained with blood, shrouding the ghoul in darkness. At this moment, he seemed to have turned into a monster more terrifying than the ghoul, and knocked the ghoul to the ground with a heavy punch.
Immediately afterwards, the kitchen knife was raised high, like a butcher knife covered in blood, exuding evil aura, and fell violently.
The corpse screamed in pain, and a dry and thin arm flew out.
Before Su Hong could seize the opportunity to pursue the victory, a huge force was transmitted from the chest armor to the whole body. He was kicked away by the ghoul and hit hard on the steps, cracking the concrete.
The corpse climbed nimbly like a spider and fled downstairs, disappearing into the darkness.
Su Hong climbed up holding his painful chest.
"Chase, don't let it escape alive."
Wang Yuxi and his son only recovered from their panic after hearing Su Hong's words. Unknowingly, their backs were soaked with sweat.
No matter how embarrassing their performance was, the two of them swallowed and followed Su Hong into the darkness.
The four of them quickly descended to the third floor with their footsteps pounding.
All the emergency lights below the third floor were destroyed by the ghouls, but the corridor was still lit with a dim light.
Looking deeper into the corridor, three tattered and twisted corpses were lying on the ground. A dungeon door suddenly appeared at the end. The cast-iron torch swayed with ghostly fire, illuminating the hideous face of the corpse.
The corpse climbed on the dungeon door, shaking the rusty iron door violently, as if trying to escape inside.
"Uncle Chen, block the corridor."
"Uncle Wang, Chengzhi, follow me!"
The three of them approached step by step and blocked the corpse in the corner.
The wights roared and swung their claws threateningly.
"Su Hong, uncle, I'll go first, you can find a chance to beat it." Wang Yuxi's palms were sweating and she was nervous, but she still rushed out.
He finally understood that this ghoul was very strong, but the armor on his body was even harder, and it would definitely not be able to kill him for a while.
In this case, there is nothing to hesitate about.
Dry!
You can’t embarrass my old Wang family.
Wang Yuxi rushed forward and hugged the corpse tightly, buying Su Hong a lot of time.
They fought with the ghoul in the corridor for a long time, and finally ended with Su Hong cutting off the ghoul's cervical spine.
"You defeated the Rot Ghoul and gained experience."
"You have gained 'Disaster Potential'*4."
"You obtained the 'disaster item' the Hand of the Ghoul."
"The current disaster level is 3."
The level of disaster increased, sweeping away Su Hong's physical fatigue. Heat flow washed over his limbs, and a powerful force surged out of his muscles. He took off his helmet and slowly exhaled.
"Becoming a new ghoul killer has an unlimited future, and the disaster potential is +30."
