Chapter 38 Encounter, Standoff with Empty Guns
......
It's obvious that the people in area A couldn't open the electronic door to area B, so they started banging on it.
"Damn it... grab your weapons and come with me..."
Marcus suddenly felt as if his territory had been invaded.
He resembled an enraged lion, his face contorted with malice. He pulled an M911 pistol from his holster and stormed outside.
The other two were staunch supporters of Markus, and when their boss spoke, they each drew their weapons.
One person carrying a fire axe and the other carrying an iron crowbar followed closely behind Marcus as they walked out.
The Irish man also came over carrying an iron bar. He bent down and helped Pete, who was still curled up on the ground, up.
"Are you... alright?"
With his help, Pete stood up, one hand still clutching his aching abdomen, and said with difficulty:
"Hiss... I... I'm fine... Byrd... don't worry..."
Seeing that he was alright, the Irish man, Byrd, continued walking towards the door, turning back to remind him before leaving.
"Let's go quickly... or Marcus will get angry again..."
"Yes......"
Upon hearing this, Pete also became nervous, quickly found his weapon, clutched his abdomen, and hurriedly chased after him.
......
...corridor.
After leaving the office, Li Ailun and Susan ran back to the corridor, and this time they did not encounter any infected people.
Arriving at the collapsed electronic door, Li Ailun picked up the travel bag he had just lost and carried it in his hand.
"Come on."
He didn't dare waste any time and continued to call for Susan to catch up.
However, when they reached the electronic door on the other side of the corridor, Li Ailun took out his employee card and swiped it on the access control, only to find that he couldn't open the door at all.
The two then realized why there had been a group of infected people blocking the corridor earlier; it turned out that the access control systems of the two buildings were not interchangeable.
But now they have no way out; countless infected people have entered the building behind them.
Li Ailun threw his travel bag on the ground again, then swung the fire axe with both hands and chopped at the electronic door, starting to violently dismantle it.
Clang... Clang... Clang...
The fire axe cleaved deep dents into the electronic door, demonstrating Li Ailun's immense strength.
The loud banging on the door startled the infected individuals wandering inside the building, who instinctively began to gather in the direction of the sound.
Soon, the two infected individuals who were first attracted by the sound of banging on the door came out from the back passage. Upon seeing two living people, they rushed towards them frantically.
"I'll handle it, you continue."
Seeing this, Susan quickly told Li Ailun not to get distracted.
She was confident she could handle just two infected people.
Without wasting any more words, Li Ailun turned around and continued his fierce attack on the electronic door. For them, breaking through the electronic door in front of them was the most important thing right now.
Thud... thud... thud...
He kicked the electronic door several times, and the door visibly began to deform.
On the other side, Susan drew her Emei daggers from the leather sheath at her waist and assumed an attack stance, watching the infected charging towards her with a tense expression.
“Huh…Huh…”
The two infected individuals opposite them were getting closer and closer, their hideous and terrifying features clearly visible.
Susan did not back down in fear; instead, she took the initiative to meet the enemy with her Emei dagger in hand.
Facing an infected person rushing towards her, she calmly responded, aiming her Emei dagger straight at the person's face.
With a single strike, the sharp Emei dagger pierced directly through the infected creature's skull, abruptly silencing its roar.
At the same time, another infected creature lunged at her, but Susan dodged to the right, using the stabbed corpse of the infected creature to block the attack from the other infected.
She then nimbly spun around the corpse of the infected person who was about to collapse, and flashed directly behind another infected person.
The thorn that had been stuck in the infected person's face was also pulled out, bringing with it a trail of dark red blood.
Before it could react, the Emei thorns in both hands attacked from behind, simultaneously piercing the infected person's temples on both sides.
Thump... thump...
Two infected corpses collapsed to the ground one after the other, all in the blink of an eye.
After Susan efficiently dealt with the two infected individuals, she retreated back to Li Ailun's side.
Thud... Thud...
Bangdang......
Finally, the electronic door collapsed under Li Ailun's violent impact.
A strong, unpleasant odor immediately wafted out of the passage.
It's like walking into a public restroom that no one cleans in the summer; the indescribable smell can hit you right in the soul.
"Ugh...it smells awful..."
Susan frowned, covered her mouth and nose to suppress the urge to vomit, and said with disgust.
They were used to the stench of rotting corpses filling the entire airport, but the odor emanating from the passageway was completely different.
The stench is from human excrement, suggesting that there are likely still survivors in the building.
Li Ailun also frowned slightly, realizing that the situation inside might be somewhat different from what he had imagined, but for now they could only take it one step at a time.
"Hurry up and be careful."
Li Ailun picked up his travel bag again and slung it across his body, giving Susan some instructions.
He threw away the fire axe with the nicks in it and drew a dagger from his leather sheath.
Then they walked into the passageway, which looked empty but actually smelled terrible.
"..."
Susan had no choice but to suppress her nausea and quickly catch up with Li Ailun.
......
Just as they approached the corner of the passage, several figures rushed out from the corner, each wielding a weapon and looking menacing, blocking their way.
The newcomers were none other than Marcus and his group. They had only seen Li Ailun and his companion before, and they were a man and a woman. Without hesitation, they rushed out, ready to easily take them down.
When Li Ailun saw that the person in front was holding a gun, his pupils shrank. Without thinking, he immediately drew the M911 pistol from his waistband and pointed it at the other person.
Marcus was surprised that the other party also had a gun. His expression changed, and he quickly raised his pistol as well.
The two men, guns drawn, faced off across the distance, resulting in a stalemate.
When Li Ailun met the gazes of several people, even with his strong mental fortitude, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
He had seen that look before, and he would never forget it.
That's a kind of evil and almost insane look that only appears in people who have eaten human flesh.
Moreover, such people are generally in a very unstable mental state, like a bomb that could explode at any moment, capable of doing anything crazy.
But Li Ailun showed no fear on his face, holding an empty gun and confronting the other party without flinching.
Anyway, the other side doesn't know. As long as they are wary and dare not fire easily, that's enough. It's psychological warfare.
Knowing the full story, Susan was extremely nervous.
But she dared not show it, tightly gripping the Emei Dagger in her hand, standing behind Li Ailun, watching the opposite side warily.
The passageway fell silent for a moment, both sides wary of each other, neither daring to make a rash move.
