The sound was already very clear near the stairway, and apart from a few Extraordinary individuals, others could also hear the screams.
Su Changxing was trying to figure out the situation. It seemed that something had happened on the Huntersâ side, but what could it be?
The red-clothed person and the hospital director who had resurrected were just on their side.
They were now on the sixth underground level, waiting slightly at the stairway; several people came running up from below, faces full of relief.
Zhou An glanced at his phone and said, "Everyone down there has come up; Qian Runwei and the old man are above, we can just go straight up."
Su Changxing nodded and led the group to quickly climb the stairs. After two levels, the staircase broke off.
Zhu Wenwu looked at the solid wall in front of him and said helplessly, "This is really troublesome; we canât go straight up from here. Seems weâll have to find another way to the upper levels."
Zhou An, looking serious, listened to the faint screams and warned gravely, "Those Hunters seem to be on this level; we better be careful."
Zhou Anâs perception ability wasnât as strong as Zhu Wenwuâs, but his focus was different, being a comprehensive enhancement of physical senses. In this situation, Zhou Anâs detection ability was greater.
"Everyone, prepare for combat."
Su Changxing waved his hand, leading ahead and said, "These Hunters still retain some combat power, and now itâs almost evening, their strength has somewhat recovered."
This was the fourth level.
They hadnât been here before.
Entering the floor, they saw a tightly closed iron gate sealing off the entire corridor.
"I have to say, this really looks like a prison."
Zhou An ducked his head, walking behind Su Changxing like a turtle, and whispered:
"The smell of blood in the air is very strong; many people seem to have died here recently. Are the Hunters killing each other?"
Su Changxing thought for a moment and said, "Before the end, this should have been the area where the red-clothed patient was active. Itâs like a checkpoint."
He examined the iron gate structure, noted it wasnât locked, reached behind it, and with a flick of his hand, the door opened.
The Hunters hadnât intended to use this to stop them anyway; it was useless, and even if the door was locked, Su Changxing could have opened it by more violent means.
"Ah!!"
As soon as the door opened, screams of terror echoed from the corridor, along with urgent footsteps from around the corner.
"Da da~"
Someone was running over quickly.
"Rumble~"
Everyone pulled out their weapons, ready for combat.
Soon after, a Hunter covered in blood, missing an arm, with more than a dozen shallow and deep wounds, stumbled over.
Seeing Su Changxing and the others, he didnât stop, as if something terrifying was following him, preferring to face Su Changxingâs group.
Su Changxing frowned as he watched the Hunter run recklessly at them, about to shoot.
"Bang~"
With a crisp sound, the otherâs feet exploded into countless chunks of flesh and blood splattered onto the corridor walls.
He fell heavily to the ground, helplessly looking at Su Changxing and the others, as if seeking help.
"Back off!"
Su Changxing shouted gravely, retreating a step while watching the person struggle and scream on the ground. His face twisted in pain but strangely didnât faint.
Whatâs going on?
He hadnât seen anything nearby; the manâs feet seemed to explode spontaneously.
Beside him, Zhu Wenwuâs face showed extreme shock, as if he had seen something terrifying.
Su Changxing turned to him and asked seriously, "Did you find anything?"
Sweat droplets appeared on Zhu Wenwuâs forehead; he took a deep breath and slowly said:
"I... just saw a head wearing a black cloak appear behind that Hunter, then his feet exploded."
A very abstract description.
Su Changxing half-closed his eyes and said, "That head was a fat one, right?"
"Ah? Yes, you saw it too?"
Zhu Wenwu confirmed by nodding, "I thought only I saw it."
Indeed, it was the thing from the mirror, the dead hospital director?
If this was the hospital director, then who was the girl?
Su Changxing sensed something was off; the logic seemed faulty.
This head should be the dead hospital director, and it hadnât attacked Su Changxing before, likely because revenge was its primary goal.
If thatâs the case, who was the girl?
Could it be Tao Yi?
Su Changxing shook his head and said, "No, I didnât see it, just speculated. It seems to be slaughtering these Hunters, or perhaps torment would be more fitting."
Zhu Wenwu looked at the blood-soaked corridor behind the gate and said gravely, "What should we do? This seems like the only way out, but if we go this way, weâll likely be attacked by that thing."
Su Changxing concentrated for a moment and said:
"No choice, weâll have to bite the bullet. Once these Hunters are all dead, itâll probably be our turn.... Iâll lead; you track that thingâs movements and tell me its position."
He wasnât very confident, not even knowing what the thing was.
He pushed open the gate.
Su Changxing went to the Hunter and saw that he hadnât died yet, still moaning on the ground; ordinary people would have died from such injuries, but he was Extraordinary.
He looked at the Hunter and said, "Can you tell whatâs happening?"
The Hunter, with a broad nose and square face showing honesty, raised his head weakly at Su Changxing and said, "Ghost... ghost... heâs here for revenge."
After speaking.
Su Changxing slashed the Hunterâs neck with a knife, ending his life and his pain.
The space on this level was relatively larger, with a height of about four meters between floors, and the corridor was much wider.
Turning the corner.
They saw the corridor was soaked in blood, with some scattered internal organs. The air was thick with the smell of blood. Several Hunters with just upper bodies were struggling on the ground.
Everyone felt a tightness in their hearts, realizing this could be their fate too; many showed numb despair on their faces.
Su Changxing went over and killed them one by one. Such a brutal and cruel scene was certainly uncomfortable, even if the opposite was an enemy.
Su Changxing silently thought, "Head, could it be counted as your kind, both reduced to just a head."
The head replied irritably, "You can still joke; I think weâre destined to die here today. That thing is at least Tier Eight... I can act once more at most, and itâs not enough to kill it."
