Matthew's face grimaced, and at his feet, a sharp claw that shone with a metallic light easily dug into the ground like slicing tofu!
It was only a matter of time before his whole paw, would have left him! He knew that what KEVIN had said, he feared, was the truth!
"Nuh-uh, it's not all of them, one container at a time, it's like twenty or so, and some of them are dead as well, but there are always a few that are resilient."
With a nudge, kevin signaled that around them, lickers were everywhere.
All the mercenaries, including Matthew, couldn't help but feel creeped out!
They now knew why this place was called Restaurant B. Nima, they were the dish!
"Shit! I'm not going with you guys! I'm gonna get the hell outta here! Damn it, why did I come to a place like this!"
The hero, Spence, his voice trembling and cursing under his breath, pushed Jedi out of the way and ran the way they had come!
The pistol was already on safety in kevin's mind!
At this moment, he estimated that Spence was only ten meters away, and with the sharp perception brought about by fifteen points of Spirit Value, even if he had only been in contact with firearms for a short while, he still had more than ninety percent certainty of hitting him!
Just before kevin pulled the trigger, a dazzling head of long blonde hair covered all of kevin's vision!
Immediately after that, the heroine, Elise, stared at kevin with icy eyes, and the aura contained within her gaze made even kevin feel slightly alarmed!
Spence was stopped and forced back by Captain Matthew, who was still muttering phrases like "get the hell out of here" under his breath.
"That guy is an asshole and you're going to regret it."
kevin attached himself to Elise's ear at her guarded look, said something in the mysteriously awkward Abyssal common tongue, and turned to leave.
Alys gave kevin a strange look, although Spence was acting a little bad, he was definitely not an asshole, was he?
(Does he know something?)
Alys couldn't help but take another look at kevin's background, memorizing his look hard.
"Matthew, please shut this guy up."
"What's your plan?"
Matthew was very dry and shoved the muzzle of his gun into Spence's mouth, and all was well.
"Can I lead this team for now?"
kevin asked rhetorically.
"Sure."
Matthew was silent for a few seconds and nodded briskly. On the battlefield, a hundred highly skilled commanders were no match for one seasoned veteran!
While this is not an accurate description of kevin's relationship between them, the general principle is basically the same!
"Okay, rookies, did you hear your officers?"
KEVIN clapped his hands, drawing all the mercenaries' attention to him.
Even their captain had stated that there was no problem, so what could they say, even Rei nodded her head with hatred!
"Yes!"
Nodding in satisfaction, kevin tossed his other short sword to Matthew and ordered, "You lead a few men, use my short sword to cut through the containers, don't waste bullets, and use your saber to strangle their exposed brains!"
"All clear?"
kevin asked aloud as he swept his gaze over the six mercenaries in front of him.
"Understood!"
The mercenaries answered and showed a high level of execution, immediately dispersing into two groups to act according to kevin's instructions!
When kevin told them to conserve bullets, they didn't dare to waste any!
Because, in their eyes, kevin's identity and background were all very mysterious, and his knowledge of the hive land seemed to be above theirs, this request, must have an important reason!
(Leadership is sort of temporary, albeit temporary ... but ...)
"Enough ..."
kevin spoke softly, reminding Matthew, "Don't get my sword dirty!"
With that, kevin took a few steps to a container, and in one fell swoop, he cut a large hole in the tin, and said to Jedi and Rae behind him, "Hey elites, show your quality, if you want to complete the mission successfully and stay alive, do what I tell you to do, go on, and cut out its brain!"
"I want to stab it in the ass!"
Violent female Rei drew her saber and viciously stabbed it in the middle of the licker's brain, gritting her teeth and continuously stirring it, thick plasma continuously overflowing along the blade!
While Kevin and the others were destroying the containers and taking out the Lickers, Kevin realized that the other containers had not lost power, and the Lickers were still frozen!
(Sure enough, the Red Queen's program is only designed to stop the T-virus from leaking, and is not the least bit protective of Umbrella Corporation property.)
Kevin, at this point, is really relaxing, picking up the pace to destroy the containers and letting Rae and the others kill the creeps.
Matt and Spence tried to wait for an opportunity to leave, but couldn't find a way out, and no matter which way they ran, they would have to face at least two submachine guns!
"Wait!"
Ten minutes later, just when the crowd had almost slaughtered the defenseless lickers almost to the end, kevin suddenly waved his hand to stop Rei, who had already killed her eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Jedi waved her blood-dripping saber suspiciously and looked at kevin, whose face was full of tangled struggles, in disbelief.
"Nothing."
KEVIN SHAKES HIS HEAD a moment ago, as if the guide hidden within his shadow had made a sound!
"Under the influence of indentured kevin, the number of lickers killed exceeds twenty, with unknown effects on the realm, triggering a hidden reward, the indentured can pick one of the following rewards!"
"Hidden Reward #1: Five days of survival!"
"Hidden Reward 2: Gain the ability to fuck Lickers without limits during this mission!"
"Hidden Reward 3: Consume three days of survival time to open pet space and collect a Licker as a pet!"
"Item three."
After weighing the pros and cons, kevin gritted his teeth and chose the third reward!
The first one is good, but nothing compared to the second one.
At this time, there are still surviving lickers, there are five or six heads, if kevin chooses the second item, he can instantly fuck them, and then the zombies and what not, are all floating clouds, this is definitely a crushing level of power!
The third item is of the thinly veiled type, and kevin needs to take some risks, and also, the lickers are really disgusting when they're half-finished ...
After a few seconds of agonizing, kevin resolutely decided to go with the third option, a little bit of nausea was nothing compared to survival!
"Reward selection successful, pet space opened, currently F-rank pet space, can only hold one F-rank pet!"
"Indentured servant-licker contact being established ..."
"Establishment successful, Licker can act on the will of the Contractor! Can be retrieved from pet space!"
The Guide's icy voice came out, and with that, kevin felt an additional inexplicable connection between himself and the Licker!
"I'll take this licker, you guys go find the next one."
kevin turned back to Jedi & Rae.
"Yes!"
The two nodded, though they were puzzled.
Then, kevin's time limit, straight away, was reduced to less than twenty-four hours!
And, the flow was twice as fast as usual!
Every second that passes, kevin's time limit, is reduced by two seconds!
"Shit! Pets have to consume extra survival time!"
KEVIN nearly broke into a fit of pouting!
However, on second thought, it also felt normal, the Lickers, in addition to the mental attribute was almost zero, the two attributes of strength and agility, insurance estimates were above forty points, and even, when the mutation was completed, there would be an increase!
It was indeed worth that price to kevin, and he felt unlikely to have taken the licker as a pet if it wasn't for the hidden rewards!
With the two attributes of Strength and Agility, the Licker's evaluation had definitely reached the peak of the F grade!
kevin grumbled just a bit and relented, dryly cutting all the tin off one side of the container in front of him to speed up the loss of freezing air!
"Whew! ..."
kevin vaguely felt the licker let out a heavy gasp, and then the huge, sharp claws, glistening with metal, twitched!
With that, the Licker's massive body slowly stood up, shook its massive yellow brain, and with a mighty struggle, ripped off all the hoses attached to its body!
"What's going on?!"
Matthew had already killed all the lickers, and kevin, with the great commotion caused by the licker's awakening, trotted straight over!
"Don't screw me over, it's time to show your worth!"
