Chapter 21 Dwarves (Part 1)
Judging from the appearance, the other party is indeed a human being. If you whisper your identity, you should be able to relieve the other party of your vigilance and eliminate the hostility you shouldn’t have!
If it were the past, Lei Cheng would have done this without hesitation. However, now he chose to remain silent.
The infrared detector can travel through the wall to discover the existence of creatures, but it is impossible to tell whether the creature with heat is a human. Although, from the screen, the appearance of the other party is no different from that of humans. However, among those cruel monsters, there are also many creatures that are completely consistent with the appearance of humans.
Without absolute certainty, Lei Cheng will not take risks.
Stalemate is certainly not a wise choice.
Discovering the other party's existence is an advantage in itself. A few minutes later, two red shadows on the helmet display screen began to slowly move towards the door. It seemed that they had lost their patience and wanted to come out from the hidden hiding place to see what was going on.
It was at this time that Lei Cheng was waiting for.
He flashed out from behind the wall extremely quickly, and the heavy buttstock was smashed down with a high wheel. After a dull impact, the red shadow that first emerged from the crack of the door fell straight down. The door that was opened from the inside was also forced to open completely to the inside under the violent squeeze of the intruder's shoulders, exposing all the secrets it hidden in to the outside air.
Lei Cheng, who broke into the room, paused violently, and with the help of the good friction of the soles of the shoe, turned flexibly on the concrete floor, pointing the assault rifle in his hand against the back of the already slightly deformed door. He hid inside the red shadow that was squeezed so that his limbs were fully extended, and he was still holding a sharp knife in his hand.
"Who are you? Wait a minute, are you here to save us?"
Although the other party's violent actions brought great pain to his body, the red shadow slowly slid from the crack in the open door still screamed in a slightly surprised tone. It seemed that he had forgotten the rude behavior he had encountered a few seconds ago.
"woman?"
The other party's voice surprised Lei Cheng and relieved his unnecessary vigilance. He lifted the infrared vision mirror on his helmet and quickly supported the woman who walked out from behind the door with one hand, and slowly helped him to sit down on the chair.
"I am a rescue worker of the Federal Army. Please understand my actions just now. After all, at that time, your identity has not been confirmed."
"I understand, this is my husband."
The woman lifted her jaw from the ground and was swollen and looked a little embarrassed, and said in a trembling voice: "Dear, we can finally leave here."
With the help of the slightly bright moonlight outside the window, the messy decorations in the room also came into Lei Cheng's eyes. Judging from the spacious room and the various utensils scattered on the ground, the couple should be the wealthy of the federal civilians.
"When will we leave?" asked the man who had just recovered. Now, his concern for survival is far greater than the pain that the inexplicable blow brings to his body.
"Now."
Lei Cheng looked vigilantly at the deserted street outside, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Check out your things quickly and leave in five minutes. Apart from food and necessary weapons, we will not take the rest if we can do it. We have to go a long way."
The two survivors did not delay. A few minutes later, their figures were already following Lei Cheng's back and appeared slightly on the broken street. Except for the man carrying a small bag full of food, the rest was the sharp kitchen knife in the hands of the couple.
"etc!"
Suddenly, the man seemed to remember something and hurriedly pulled Lei Cheng's sleeve: "There are also some living people in the big house opposite. Should I take them with me?"
What he is referring to is another place on the map marked by red light.
However, just as the group of three people turned the corner and ran towards their target, Lei Cheng unexpectedly discovered that in front of the building that looked like an apartment, two short figures suddenly appeared from a well with the lid lifted.
Although they can't see the other person clearly for the time being, they can see that they have the same appearance as humans.
"How could there be survivors hiding in underground pipes?"
With hesitation, the man beside Lei Cheng had already run over excitedly. It seemed that he was sincerely surprised by this unexpected encounter.
"Stop! Don't go over!"
Without having time to say more, Lei Cheng's face changed slightly. He quickly caught up, grabbed the man's collar, and pulled him back. The assault rifle in his hand also pointed at the short and weird figure in the distance.
The man who was unknown was about to attack, but his eyes were attracted by the black shadow on the other side who had been alarmed. In an instant, dissatisfaction and anger disappeared completely from his face. Instead, the surprise and fear brought by terror were the kind of surprise and fear.
The bright moonlight shone down through the clouds just right on the shadow, making everything hidden in the darkness completely exposed.
The face, which was covered by thick beards, was covered with twisted muscles. In the hands that were full of strength and highlighted the joints, they were holding a black axe. Its size was so huge that it looked disproportionate to the short body of its controller.
That's right! The other party is indeed a human being. But Lei Cheng has never seen such a person in real life.
For some reason, he was watching the other person's actions vigilantly, but inexplicably thought of a strange noun that shouldn't have appeared in his mind.
"dwarf!"
Lei Cheng likes to play games, and he is familiar with the troops of all races in the "Warcraft" series. However, he doesn't understand why the dwarfs in the game appear in reality. Moreover, the musket in his hand is replaced with a sharp giant axe.
The man's actions had already alarmed the other party. Two short figures obviously discovered their existence. Suddenly, amid the roar, a strange creature wielding a sharp axe rushed towards the group of three.
Lei Cheng did not hesitate and decisively pulled down the plate. Under a series of bullets, the black shadow's crazy speed was completely curbed. Less than a few meters away from Lei Cheng's feet, the shadow covered in bullet holes jumped up like a desperate attempt, waved the huge axe in his hand, and slashed at the opponent that caused him pain.
Lei Cheng, who was shaking in his heart, had no time to think too much, subconsciously reached out and pulled out a sharp carbon steel sword from his shoulder, and rushed towards the axe that was slashing down in the air. Only a crisp metallic impact sounded, the dwarf's body was shaken backwards by the huge counterattack force, as if a broken kite fell obliquely among the scattered ruins.
"ah--"
A shrill scream, like a harsh alarm, cut through the terrible silence in the night sky.
The source of the scream was not a dwarf, but a knife-holding man standing aside. When Lei Cheng looked back, he saw a thigh that was cut off from his crotch, lying horizontally in a pool of blood, constantly twitching.
