Long-term salvation

The green emergency lights suddenly came on, immersing the entire central corridor in a poisonous algae-like glow. Supernatural forces had twisted and changed this place, infusing it with the purest evil, causing all the corpses that had been accommodated in this hospital since its establishment to be resurrected here - even if they were real phantoms, their number was enough to engulf an entire standard infantry company.

Rhodes walked out of the tattered door frame. The soles of his boots slipped a little, and he stepped on not only the cold, rotten blood, but also the translucent organ mucus and the organs themselves that had been torn to pieces by gunfire.

The zombies that barely maintained their original form were wriggling on the ground like maggots. They were just ordinary people when they were alive, but after death they were treated as consumables to attack the living.

"Desecrating life and death... This must be the work of the Ibris organization. We really should call Barney (Chapter 159) and the others over to see if this is what they are."

Rhodes expressionlessly stepped over the broken limbs and arms, raising his hand to replace the magazine for his weapon. Bai Zi, who was beside him, slowly moved forward with an assault rifle named "WHITE FANG 465", while Strelock, who was at the back, was cautiously watching the slowly opening corpse cabinet in the morgue. He thought for a few seconds, made a simple mine-tripping move with the F1 grenade hanging on his chest, and then quickly followed Rhodes' footsteps.

"Where do we go from here?"

Strelock asked aloud, his gaze passing over the trembling shadows on both sides of the corridor, looking at the zombies slowly walking out of the corridor in front and behind. The man did not feel fear, he felt only excitement:

"There should be only one road here, one direction. We... I can't see the road. Is this also an illusion?"

"No, this is a maze created by the enemy." Rhodes, wearing his all-seeing eye mask, saw more corpses piled up in the darkness, slowly approaching like a tide. "No matter which direction we go, it's the same. Fight until we get to the end."

After that, Rhodes said no more and directly took out an RPG-7 rocket-propelled grenade launcher.

"Not here—Sukkable!"

Strelock screamed and lunged forward, almost getting buried in the wriggling corpses. The next second, the whistling sound of the high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) warhead entered the man's ears, followed by the roar of an explosion!

Orange-red flames flashed along the wall, but the minced meat that was ejected by the shock wave and fragments came like raindrops, gathering into a thin layer of sticky blood on the ground.

right now,

Strelock was sure that what he saw was not an illusion.

After staring at the head that was still half gone but could still move its eyes for a few seconds, Strelock got up from the ground and saw the wolf girl wiping the blood off her face nonchalantly, while the man... the man who called himself "Rod" was gently reaching out to pick up the pieces of flesh from the girl's hair.

Damn, are these two lunatics who escaped from some insane asylum?!

"To this day, I can still remember Marian and Yuka fighting against the zombies with me. If they were here, they would definitely complain."

“The strong never complain about their circumstances.”

Bai Zi said this coolly, but her expression was obviously not as strong as her words, and she still showed obvious disgust:

"The breath of death has weakened a bit. I'm afraid we'll have to continue killing here."

"Then continue. It's still a pleasure to work with beautiful girls."

Although he couldn't understand what Rhodes and Bai Zi were saying, Strelock still gritted his teeth and followed their footsteps. He exhaled slowly, trying to breathe in the smell of evaporated gun oil and gun smoke from the shooting of guns, rather than the stench of corpses that filled the endless corridor.

Gunfire flickered, and from the morgues that reappeared on the walls came the muffled thud of corpse cabinets colliding, a strange resonance echoing with the roar of gunfire in the corridor. The enemies grew in number, yet they were unable to stop the three men.

Bai Zi first changed his magazine, then he carried the flamethrower handed by Rhodes and pulled the trigger at the group of zombies slowly pressing in from behind. The blazing flames instantly illuminated the entire corridor, temporarily dispelling the darkness and shadows, and filling the air with the stench of flesh and blood being roasted into charcoal.

Strelock's shoes stepped on rotten flesh mixed with the smell of formaldehyde, and he dodged sideways to avoid the bite of a zombie in a blood-stained hospital gown that crawled out from the next room. When the 5.45x39mm bullet penetrated the swollen and blue neck of the thing, pus dripped in strings along the wall tiles.

The weapon in Rod's hand has been replaced with a 12.7mm DShK heavy machine gun. With his own powerful strength and physical strength, he can carry this thing and move forward slowly with the help of the gun belt. At the moment when this killing weapon releases destruction, the muzzle flame seems to be as wide and long as the gun body!

In the natural world, no flesh had evolved that could withstand direct fire from heavy machine guns. Even these zombies imbued with supernatural powers before Rhode were no exception. Amidst the flying blood and flesh, Rhode suddenly began to look forward to what else they could do to him.

A giant mass of flesh and blood? A mass of corpses filling the corridors, crushing people to death? Or perhaps, an entire maze was used to completely trap him here?

As expected, I still need to spend some world pollution points to completely burn the entire corridor and completely cut off this strange space!

"Stop! Stop! Damn it!" Strelock screamed. Although he had two earplugs on, he was still tormented by the tinnitus and the noise of gunfire. He could only quickly step forward, pat Rhodes on the shoulder, and took the opportunity when he was changing his ammunition belt to shout, "Stop shooting this damn thing in the corridor! How dare you use a burst gun?!"

"What are you talking about?" Rhodes looked back in surprise. "Louder!"

"...It's okay, you can continue."

"okay."

"Why the hell did you hear that?!"

Ignoring the two men who were fighting each other next to her, the wolf girl's ears twitched and her eyes fell on the morgue door not far in front of her right - such doors were scattered throughout the entire corridor, and the zombies that kept walking out of the doors were the main source of enemies - a familiar smell was emanating from that door... So that's it, I was thinking in the wrong direction from the beginning.

After a brief thought, Bai Zi reached out and touched Rhodes' cheek, and said calmly:

"Sensei, we're back to where we were. The space here is circular."

"...That's quite interesting. It's indeed a labor-saving method." Rhode touched his chin, put away the heavy machine gun, and took out his revolver. After firing a few bullets through the knees of the zombies that slowly walked out of the darkness ahead, he smiled at the girl, "It seems Baizi has found a way out."

"Get into the corpse cabinet. It's like taking a 'boat' to cross the 'River Styx'. We have to cross the gap between life and death. Then, I will use the 'scales' to measure it. Sensei will definitely pass. I want to get into the same corpse cabinet with Sensei!"

Baizi blinked, his cute little face full of anticipation.

"Don't say such unlucky words!"

Strelock listened to the two people talking in a daze, but when he was stuffed into the corpse cabinet, he finally understood one thing -

He shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess!

Chapter 308 This is Not Dawn (7/20)

The metal slide rails of the corpse cabinet made a harsh friction sound, and darkness suddenly swallowed up everything in front of me.

Getting into a corpse cabinet was never a pleasant experience, but for Rhode, holding the warm body of a young girl in his arms was a different story.

In the corpse cabinet, Rhodes held Bai Zi in his arms, allowing the sudden weightlessness to pull him into the abyss... What was somewhat ridiculous was that the originally heavy corpse cabinet was now like a fallen leaf, constantly spinning and floating in the darkness, rising and falling in the waves of energy, and making a slight creaking sound.

Rhode reached out and stroked the wolf girl's ear. The soft earlobe and slightly stiff wolf fur gave him a strange sense of security. Suddenly, an idea entered Rhode's mind - if he died, who would be the one to take him away?

The girls of Abydos, or the lovely angels of Trinity Academy? If that were the case, Nikki and the others would probably be very disappointed.

Dispersing his thoughts, Rhodes lowered his head and looked at Anubis.

[Sudden Encounter Mission: Tide of Corpses (Completed)]

【Task rewards begin to be distributed】

[Pollution points for the other world have been distributed]

The coldness in the real world slowly crept up Rhodes' body, passing through his skin and causing some discomfort. But if it lingered there for a while, it would no longer be a simple "discomfort".

Pushing open the corpse cabinet with some difficulty, Rhodes immediately saw the dim light in the morgue. Compared with the scarlet glow and flickering gunfire in the strange space just now, this light was enough to make people burst into tears - at least for Strelock.

Rhode opened the corpse cabinet next to him and let out the shivering Strelock. As soon as the latter stood firmly on the ground, he struggled to take out all the US dollars from his pocket, including his own rubles, and stuffed them into Rhode's hand, saying slowly:

"Please let me go."

"No," Rhodes pushed the money back with a gentle smile that refused to be refused. "Either I use the wrench next to me to 'erase' your memory, or you take the money and work for me—you'll earn more and see more. Besides, you didn't tremble at all when you pulled the trigger just now. Why are you backing down now?"

"I, I...ah."

Strelock's eyes swept across Rhodes' side, but he didn't find the wrench, only the revolver holster on his waist.

Whether being "eliminated" by a bullet or being "eliminated" by this iron lump several times is not a good choice.

"Looks like I have no choice," Strelock sighed. He just wanted Rhodes to do him a favor—the man was afraid he couldn't convince himself. "Give me some extra money for my risk-taking. The Ukrainian government is incredibly stingy."

"The last thing you need to worry about is your salary."

Reaching out and patting Strelock's shoulder, Rhodes snapped his fingers, causing golden flames to sweep across the three people, purifying the remaining rotten flesh. Suddenly, only a slight burnt smell lingered around them.

After glancing at the remaining points on the system interface, Rhodes subconsciously looked at the corpse cabinet No. 13 on the side. The pile of ashes had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a few gray human-shaped traces.

This was the last thing that Agent Perseus left in this world.

"Baizi, can you still track down that 'dying man'?" Rhode stroked the wolf girl's head with his right hand, took out the [Shiting Box] with his left hand, checked the time, and continued, "But there's no need to force it. We've been in there for nearly four hours, which is enough time for D to connect with other agents."

"He's still in this city."

The wolf girl nodded slightly. She didn't look well, with obvious fatigue between her eyebrows. After taking a few deep breaths, Bai Zi reached out and took Rhodes' arm, and said softly:

"Sensei, carry me."

"OKOK my lady."

After carrying the girl on his back, Rhode pushed corpse cabinet No. 13 back with one hand, handed a business card to Strelock, who was suffering from tinnitus, and said:

"Go to the Atlas office in Odessa now, show this thing there, and someone will take you into the business - don't show it to anyone else, the enemies we face now are not just those moving corpses."

After taking the business card in a daze, Strelock tensed his facial muscles, but he quickly relaxed and said:

"I understand. I'm not an idiot who knows nothing."

"So much the better."

Holding the girl's hips, Rhodes walked out of the iron door of the morgue - this thing was shattered by the shotgun in that strange space, but now it is intact - after walking out of the iron door, the corridor outside was as quiet as usual, and no supernatural changes had occurred.

But if after a while, someone comes here and opens those stainless steel corpse cabinets, they will be horrified to find that there is no body inside, as if they were pulled to another world by something.

This is a good thing, better than having something "sent" here.

After leaving behind a freshly-made urban legend, Rhode and Bai Zi bid farewell to Strelock, who looked at them with a complicated expression, and quickly joined the crowd inside the hospital. However, they didn't leave immediately. Instead, they found a nearby building with a view of the hospital and prepared to quietly observe the subsequent developments.

About half an hour later, several military vehicles of the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) stopped in front of and behind the hospital. Dozens of burly soldiers pushed through the crowd and rushed into the hospital aggressively - even the Alpha Special Forces (Ukraine) appeared among them!

These soldiers were obviously unaware of the existence of the other world, but they still became Rhodes' enemies for various reasons.

"Now, I just hope that little Strylok doesn't show up at the morgue so foolishly. If he does... then I can only regretfully declare that he has lost his physical eligibility to join the Army Without Borders."

Rhodes said lightly that he was using the All-Seeing Eye mask for long-distance observation, but unfortunately he did not find the target he wanted to find.

"I think he's probably injured, or paid a heavy price," Bai Zi yawned and leaned forward against Rhode's back. "You can have those Perseus agents investigate the recent missing persons cases in Kiev, or find out where the group outside the hospital is moving supplies within the city... To be more specific, it's somewhere in the north of the city."

"Baizi said a lot."

"Tired," he said briefly this time.

"Rest if you're tired. I'll carry you on my back and find a hotel." Rhode smiled and reached back, letting the wolf girl rub the back of his hand. "I've sent your message to D, and she replied that she's gathering intelligence."

"Hmmmm."

Hearing this reply and the girl's faint snoring sound, Rhodes smiled, stood up with the girl on his back, and walked downstairs.

Nikki is very efficient and will probably have the results tonight, but this is just right:

The moon is dark and the wind is strong, which is a good time to do things that are inconvenient to do during the day.

Like killing people or something.

"Ahem... Isa (the Islamic name for Jesus) has arrived. He discovered the Corridor of Corpses and escaped from it."

"Are you sure?"

"A few months ago, when we used the rituals of the Necronomicon to divine, we already knew of the existence of the Golden Flame Sun! Besides this, how else could anyone escape from there?"

Chaos, the leader of the Ibris organization, replied indifferently that his body was on the verge of collapse after using the [Fragments of the Book of the Dead], even with the sacrifices. Perhaps after a while, the organization would choose a new leader.

"He attempted to fill the 'hollow clay' with his own 'fire', rather than the 'fire' we possess... He is a formidable foe, and we must attempt to slay him here!"

This is a nearly impossible task, but the Ibris organization is not without help.

Suppressing his emotions, Chaos reached for the phone and dialed a number:

"The time and place haven't changed tonight, have they?"

"No... In addition, since you helped me become an advisor to the Ukrainian president, I will prepare in advance. Although I don't think the 'enemy' you mentioned can eavesdrop on our transactions."

"We never underestimate our opponents' abilities, but this is just advance preparation. Ibris truly doesn't understand their logic or how they were able to find this place," Chaos said calmly, letting the blood pouring from his mouth and nose soak through his clothes. "But regardless, I wish us a pleasant cooperation—"

"Mr. Imran Zakhaev."

O Jesus, what would you do if your enemies were human beings?

Chapter 309: Dusk Arrives (8/20)

The gorgeous Nikki is always so thoughtful.

After Rhodes settled Baizi in the hotel, he received a call from D within a few hours.

Through the transfer of the [Shiting Box], he can ensure that he can have top-secret communications with the girls exchanged from the system. Although there are still some limitations in distance and signal strength, it is more than enough within a city.

Now, Alona in the [Box of Shiting] has changed into a classic female spy military uniform and is sitting in front of a table with a radio, pressing the transmitter repeatedly to make it beep... But Rhodes is sure that she is just pretending to press the buttons blindly.

As if noticing Rhode's slightly teasing look, Alona blushed, turned around abruptly, and said righteously:

"Start transferring!"

The screen of [Shiting's Box] dimmed immediately, and it trembled slightly like black water waves as Nikki spoke:

"Commander, this is D."

"I'm listening," Rhodes said, sitting beside the sleeping Bai Zi, tucking the girl's quilt into place. "What did you find?"
