Chapter 571 Vulnerable Necks, and Super Crematorium

It was clearly impossible for Weyland to give up the mysterious item just because of some speculation.

However, if Weyland was still unwilling to give it up at a critical moment, Luke would decide between abandoning the item or Weyland.

He wasn’t a professional bodyguard in the first place. Giving up both the money and Weyland wouldn’t be hard for him.

Ten minutes pa.s.sed very quickly, and a stone gate opened as the ruins transformed yet again.

Everybody was ready to set off again.

Unlike earlier, the remaining four bodyguards and Stafford had their guns out.

They already had very little ammo left for the rifles; they only had slightly more than two clips per person on average, so the rifles could only be used in an emergency. Actually, they didn’t have a lot of ammo for pistols either; they had less than two clips per person.

The bodyguards’ hearts were all heavy.

They were facing an unknown number of monsters, but they still had to conserve their bullets; this was just h.e.l.lish.

What they didn’t know was that Luke had another plan. The ruins were like a game labyrinth.

The moment they started to transform, it became very hard for the people inside to get out.

If Luke was on his own, he would definitely be able to find a way out after the ruins transformed a few times. That was because he was fast enough to make it to the entrance of the ruins in the ten-minute timeframe.

But with a dozen people following him, whatever route they took would transform halfway to become a dead end.

More importantly, there were two groups of monsters in the ruins.

The creatures in helmets were easier to deal with. All in all, they were few in number and their abilities and equipment were easy for Luke to deal with.

It was the black monsters that were really troublesome.

Not only were they swift and adept at ambushes, they were also a lot of them and their body fluid was highly corrosive.

Even Luke couldn’t withstand the body fluid, to say nothing of everybody else, who would either be crippled or die.

Thus, after taking all this into consideration, Luke decided to wipe out all the black monsters in this place.

As long as he killed these black monsters, the remaining creatures in helmets would be nothing to worry about, and he would have time to find a way out for the exploration team.

The ammo shortage which the team was worried about wasn’t a problem for Luke.

He had enough ammo in his inventory, and the HK416 clips could be used in an M4A1.

As long as he wasn’t with the exploration team, n.o.body would know how many bullets he fired.

If he could annihilate both groups of monsters, it wouldn’t matter if the team ran out of ammo.

What he needed to do now was find a safe place for the team to hole up in.

Several minutes later, everybody came to a s.p.a.cious pa.s.sage.

Luke stopped and took out a bag of items.

He took out a few cameras and set them up in a few locations in the pa.s.sage. He then gave Stafford a mini tablet with some instructions.

After everything was done, Luke set off on his own.

The moment he was out of everybody’s sight, he sped up. Since n.o.body was around, he didn’t have to conceal his capabilities anymore.

His legs burst with explosive power and he turned into an indistinct shadow as he forged ahead swiftly and returned to the large pa.s.sage which had been the scene of his earliest battle.

Looking at the body of the cat-faced creature lying in green fluid in one corner, Luke chuckled inwardly.

An empty black box appeared in his hand. Entering the pa.s.sage, he quickly stripped the cat-faced creature of its armor and equipment, stuffed them into the black box, and stored it in his inventory.

It only took him less than a minute. After he was done looting the body, Luke set off again and quickly arrived at a tunnel entrance.

Looking at its strange appearance, he confirmed that this was the place.

The walls of the tunnel were covered in layers of something that looked like fungi and felt rather soft when stepped on. There was also a transparent mucus identical to the viscous liquid that covered the black monsters.

Walking a dozen meters into the tunnel, it opened up into a large cavern. Looking at what was inside, Luke heaved a sigh. “It really is

bad.”

The walls were packed with more than fifty people who were bound to them with something that resembled black tar.

Except for the team members who were with him, basically all the rest of the exploration team was here.

Most of them were dead, with gaping holes in their chests.

On their faces were insects with long tails that looked like human palms.

Luke had smelled these insects before; they were in all the dark corners of the ruins.

Only two people were still alive.

Luke didn’t walk over to them, but stood at the entrance of the cave as he examined the cave floor.

The ground was thickly dotted with egg-shaped objects. Some had openings in the top, but most were still intact.

He also noticed that the eggs that had openings were the ones close to the human beings on the walls.

Suddenly, the two survivors moaned in pain, and then started to scream in m.u.f.fled voices.

Luke frowned and looked at their chests; something seemed to be moving under the skin.

Several seconds later, their screams stopped as their chests suddenly exploded. Two gray shadows scuttled out and lunged at Luke.

Luke curled his lip and raised his hands to nab these two gray shadows.

He could already see that these two things were miniature versions of the black monsters.

He now had a vague understanding of how the black monsters reproduced.

The two little monsters in his hands struggled and screamed, and tried to bite Luke’s hands, but he had them by the back of their vulnerable necks and they couldn’t reach him at all.

Studying the monsters for a moment, Luke then curled his lip and tightened his grip.

With two cracks, the heads of the two little monsters twisted and their tongues hung out.

Luke jostled their heads with his thumbs, and they wobbled like bobbleheads. Luke’s head also swayed along, before he chuckled soundlessly and tossed them aside casually.

He took off his gloves and threw them to the ground as well, before he put on a pair of new gloves from his inventory.

He didn’t want to continue wearing the gloves that had already touched the little monsters.

Luke looked at the person who had been the last to die. His backpack was open under his arm, and there was something that looked vaguely familiar in it.

Luke’s heart jumped, and he took a few steps closer to the body. Taking out his military knife, he cut through the viscous substance and pulled the backpack out.

Using the knife to check the contents of the backpack, Luke was astounded when he saw the two items that were inside. These things were actually here?

He immediately stored them in his inventory and took out something else in pa.s.sing.

On his trip to Mexico, he had keenly felt the lack of a weapon for destroying large areas, like that weed plantation.

Therefore, he had specifically created this special weapon with the code name: Super Crematorium (aka, Born to Die).

Super Crematorium looked like a black briefcase that was slightly bigger than normal, and it had a LCD screen on the front.

Luke tapped lightly, and the LCD screen lit up.
