Chapter 9: Golden Cicada Leaks Out of Shell

"Hmph...even if you take action immediately, it would be a little late." The gambling snake stuffed a grenade into the old man's chest cavity where he was cracking and growing inverted teeth, and then kicked it out, sending the monster that had not yet been mutated out of the broken door glass.

The mutant corpse was kicked by a gambling snake and flew into the street in front of the Jingju. It exploded. The grenade exploded the monster from the inside. The plasma was spilled like rain, and the meat sauce was splashed everywhere. The burnt and bloody smell spread quickly.

"It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. When the Blood Owl finishes, we will take Brother Jeff to change the place, hoping that when he wakes up, he can provide us with some useful information." The gambling snake said.

When he said Cao cāo, Cao cāo arrived. Xue Xiao happened to come out from inside: "You are quite lively here." He glanced at the pile of ashes beside the wall, looked at the broken corpses outside the gate, then lowered his head to look at the unconscious Jeff, and finally said casually: "Oh, are there any guests?"

"You've finished the review?" Fenghuang asked.

"He said everything I need to know." Xue Xiao replied.

"Then how is he doing now?" Feng Feng said again.

"He is very good, and I still fulfilled his last request under his plea." Xue Xiao said.

“What request?”

"die."

"Okay... Maybe death is good for him compared to being interrogated by you." Fenghuang lit another cigar to suppress himself.

"We will talk about the information obtained from the interrogation later. The explosion and the fresh smell of blood will attract monsters, and it may also attract human attention. Let's change the place first." The gambling snake said, carrying Jeff and lifting the middle-aged man who was not thin over his shoulder seemed effortless to him.

Somewhere in the city.

Six HL soldiers tiptoed into an apartment, searching for the houses one by one, hoping to find some useful materials.

They were originally a team of more than a dozen people, but now there are less than half of the team members left, and they have eaten their own food. They can only find something to fill their stomachs in the city at the risk of being infected.

These are ordinary people, and they dare not make any big noises in both day and night. After these days, they have been scared long ago. Shooting randomly either attracts monsters or guerrillas or lures people on the front line. The result after encountering them is definitely a reduction in staff... The only time for a better luck situation, it attracted their own teams. Unexpectedly, after communication, the other party was similar to theirs. They were also short of soldiers and food. The two sides discussed it and continued to act separately.

They started searching from the ground floor, and along the way, the harvest was pretty good. In the house, snacks sealed and packaged in cabinets can basically be eaten safely. Even if the power is out, there will always be some unscathed things in the refrigerator. As long as you don’t drink the water flowing out of the tap water pipe, the chance of getting infected is not too exaggerated.

"Captain, come and see this." A soldier shouted in a low voice.

Three or four other people followed his voice into a room. This was a bedroom. One window in the room was broken. Generally speaking, there might be some windows in the city's houses being hit by stray bullets. It was not surprising, but it was obviously another situation here. Because there was a mirror mask on the ground of the room, with broken glass scattered around the mask.

"What's wrong?" asked the captain.

The soldier who found the mask replied, "This is the sixth floor..."

"so what?"

"This mirror mask was thrown away for at least a few dozen meters before it broke through the glass and fell to this position, and it was not broken yet." The soldier said.

The captain seemed to have reacted: "You mean... this might be some useful special material?" He bent down and picked up the mask.

The six people in the team had already arrived next to each other and started discussing in a low voice. One of them interrupted, "Maybe it's just a coincidence. If it's really something made of special materials, just try it with bullets."

"Nonsense! Are you looking for death for this reason?" The captain turned around and cursed. When he spoke, the light of his eyes caught a glimpse of the surface of the mirror mask. Suddenly, he noticed something, then turned his head and looked at the mirror carefully.

Then, the captain's expression suddenly became frightened. He saw that the mirror mask did not reflect his face at all, but a strange scene appeared.

It was a street in the dark night, and the buildings on both sides of the street seemed to have been damaged to a certain extent. Under the cold moonlight, a dark shadow stood in the middle of the street.

"What the hell is this..." the captain said to himself, and the rest of the soldiers also walked to him and saw the scene in the mirror mask.

"Can it be a weapon newly developed by some secret department of the superior? What you know is that it is the kind used specifically for agents, which can hypnotize others?" Someone made a random statement, and everyone also made a fool of himself based on their own guesses.

While they were discussing, the black shadow in the mirror gradually became larger, as if walking towards the world outside the mirror. Suddenly, the black shadow disappeared. In just one second, the entire mirror was occupied by a dark purple face, which scared the captain quickly let go of his hand.

The mask was separated from his hands and fell to the floor. The process should be very short, but at this moment, the flow of time seemed to slow down. The world was like playing slow motion. The mask fell down very slowly... When it approached the ground, suddenly, a hand caught it.

The skin of this hand is also dark purple, and the back of the hand is covered with black snake scales.

The flow of time returned to normal again. The mirror face held the mask and stood up straight, while the six soldiers in the room all fell to the ground, their faces full of horror, and they could not even shout out a word from their throats. They lost their lives without a single shot.
