Volume 4: Shadows Under the Neon Lights Chapter 211: Invulnerable
The oral stimulant pills had an extremely bitter taste. Ke Lan felt as if a piece of industrial salt was dissolving in his mouth... but as the drug took effect, his sense of taste was soon blocked - not only the taste, but even the soreness of his muscles and the pain of damaged internal organs became blurred. He could only feel a force, constantly bursting out from every corner of his body.
"...This pill is too powerful, isn't it?" Ke Lan couldn't help but think...This oral stimulant was given to him by Victoria. Compared to the military stimulants he had injected before, the dose contained in this concentrated pill is probably more than ten times that of a unit injection!
Loading, pulling the bolt to chamber, turning to aim, pulling the trigger - the whole process took less than a second. After shooting back a radioactive monster that was about to catch up with him, Ke Lan quickened his pace again and ran more than a hundred meters in the blink of an eye.
Ke Lan understood that this drug was completely overdrawing his physical energy, squeezing out the last bit of strength in every muscle and every bone. When the effect of the drug wore off, what would be waiting for him would be a torture worse than death... But he had no choice. At least doing this could give him a glimmer of hope. If he died here, he wouldn't even have the chance to be tortured.
Sometimes, being able to feel pain is also a kind of happiness, which at least means that you are still alive.
In less than twenty seconds, Ke Lan had already run to the place where they had fought with the rebel skirmishers before. The bodies of the rebels fell in the street in twos and threes, with weapons and ammunition dropped around them.
Ke Lan leaned over and grabbed a modified Type 01 assault rifle. Probably because they were often on missions outside, the weapons used by these mercenaries were extremely rough in shape. The metal receiver was wrapped in a thick non-woven fabric, and both ends were tied with copper wire to prevent dust from blowing in. A sharpened steel pipe was welded to the handguard below the muzzle. The sharp front end was rusty and stained with dried blood. The two magazines were simply and roughly tied together with tape, one above and one below. After one magazine was empty, it could be pulled out and turned to the other end to insert it to continue firing... Although it would be more troublesome to reload, it could shorten the time to change bullets to about half a second.
The whole gun has an Exile style. Of course, it is not ruled out that it may be a trophy seized from the Exiles.
Ke Lan looted several of these "two-in-one" quick-change magazines from the corpses, as well as several fragmentation grenades, then turned around and ran back.
With Victoria's current prosthetic state, she would definitely not be able to defeat Zhanci who has turned into a radioactive monster with just a "Riot Terror" shotgun. If Ke Lan had arrived too late, she might only be able to see her torn into pieces .
Although that woman was sometimes annoying, at least now, she and Ke Lan were teammates on the same front.
Before they even got close to the security room, the radioactive monsters surrounded them again. They kept making inhuman roars and rushed over like wild beasts... Ke Lan found it hard to believe that these monsters were once her own kind...
He switched the gun to full-automatic mode and pulled the trigger.
“Thump, thump, thump…”
The muzzle of the Type 01 assault rifle spewed out flames of nearly half a meter. A strong recoil came from the butt of the gun, which made Ke Lan's shoulder hurt. Even within the effective period of the stimulant, he involuntarily took a half step back to relieve this brutal force.
Ke Lan finally understood why there was a red exclamation mark next to the fully automatic position of the gun's fire selector... Although the appearance of this gun looks similar to the Type 01, its internal structure has been completely transformed, and the muzzle brake that should have been there has been removed and replaced with a flash hider to increase concealment... Although this gun retains the fully automatic mode, it is actually used as a semi-automatic weapon in the hands of the rebels.
Because it is impossible for a normal person to withstand the violent recoil in full-automatic mode...
But for Ke Lan, this is exactly the weapon he needs now!
The bullet fired from the muzzle directly penetrated the torso of the radioactive monster that was hit, and then continued to penetrate the other two monsters in the same straight line behind it. Among the three radioactive monsters, one was shot in the head, one had its spine broken and lost the ability to move, and the last one could still move, but was obviously seriously injured.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Another burst of short shots knocked down the two monsters blocking the way. Ke Lan only felt that his shoulder blade seemed to be cracked, but under the effect of stimulants, his sensitivity to pain had become very dull. The only thing he could feel was that his entire right arm had become very stiff, and his palm and ten fingers were completely paralyzed.
"At worst, my whole body will be destroyed, and then I can just get a cyborg body..." With this thought in mind, Ke Lan rushed into the security room in three or two steps, just in time to see the shotgun in Victoria's hand being cut into two pieces by Zhan Ci's knife.
“Get out of the way!”
Ke Lan shouted and pulled the trigger at Zhanci's defenseless back - he held the butt of the gun under his armpit, stretched out his left hand, tightly gripped the handguard, and pressed down the muzzle that was jumping up wildly. He pressed the trigger to the bottom with his right index finger and did not release it until the entire magazine was empty.
As it turned out, his warning was completely unnecessary - the bullet that could easily penetrate several radioactive monsters failed to penetrate Zhanci's body. Although its back was now a bloody mess, only the hyperplastic tissue on the surface of the body was injured, and the bullet did not even touch its original skin.
"Its...proliferative tissue...hiss...bullets...can't penetrate it." Victoria reminded. At this time, Zhanci had turned around, raised the heavy naginata in his hand high, and smashed it down towards Ke Lan at the door!
With a loud "bang", the naginata left a several centimeters deep cut on the metal ground. Ke Lan, who had barely dodged it, felt his heart pounding - if he was hit by this knife, he would probably be cut in two, and it would be useless even if he was thrown into the medical cabin immediately.
Ke Lan almost subconsciously changed the bullet and fired another volley at Zhanci's chest, but the hyperplastic tissue on the chest of this monster was thicker than that on the back. It was fine after taking so many bullets. It took a sudden step forward, raised its foot and kicked towards Ke Lan's head!
