Chapter 66: Cartons
Short Blade, Plague Long Claw.
Musket, Modified Holy Water Bomb.
The two of them each offered up their corresponding combat equipnt.
As they stepped onto the darkened attic, Coslin would already be ready.
Five small disc-shaped devices were held between their fingers and thrown around at the sa ti.
The small chanical discs would pop out sharp chanical legs from their lower ends upon contact with an object and stick into the wall or floor.
Once stabilized, the kerosene stored inside would ignite itself for illumination.
It is essentially a portable, small kerosene lamp.
It is quite suitable for such a confined and dark environnt.
It can diffuse visible light out at first, facilitating direct observation by the naked eye.
The fla also has a restraining effect on low-level evil objects, transforming geographical advantage.
The attic was even more spacious than expected when the fire was illuminated.
Upon arriving at the attic, the magnet had a distinct vibration sensation, but there was no sign of the old woman, Instead, a giant storage carton was placed in the attic.
The size of the carton was just large enough to fit a person, and a number of them were densely arranged.
It was obvious, the old lady was in one of the cardboard boxes.
The old lady could be located simply by examining the cartons one by one, by using the magnet tremors.
However, there will be so danger in the testing process because the old lady cannot be located directly, and the strength of the magnet vibrations caused by each carton must be compared in turn to determine the location.
Coslin suggested to himself, "It's too dangerous to go direct, I can shoot each cardboard box in turn until the target is shot."
Han Dong, however, asked a key question.
"We're trying to catch it alive, aren't we?"
Coslin, who had beco emotionally agitated due to the effects of the contamination, didn't think about it at all and only thought about killing the target to vent his hatred.
"Yes, there's a need to capture one alive, maybe we can find a weakness in this old lady, and then we'll be able to find it according to the weakness goes deeper into the mansion to reduce the risk."
"If you want to catch them alive, you can't be too reckless.
Also, the number of cartons is 28, so in case you have a little bad luck, you might waste 20 specially made silver armor-piercing bullets.
Such bullets should be valuable and not easy to resupply, right?
Later, we may have to go deeper into the Bakers' mansion, so we'd better save our bullets.
Senior Coslin, you stand right here! I'll go looking for it one by one, once the target shows up, try to shooting it in the vital joints.
I'll find a way to suppress it."
Han Dong's series of calm analyses surprised Coslin sowhat.
In the squad, it had always been him and Cass who jointly analyzed the situation.
But currently it was Han Dong who steadied his emotions, calmly analyzing the current situation and formulating the best live capture plan.
For a while, Coslin looked at Han Dong in a completely different way, no longer treating him as a two-star newcor, and inwardly had classified him as a mber of the team.
"The risk of searching directly is high, you're not a [Crusader], are you sure you can handle an attack from this source of contamination?"
"Yes!"
There was no hesitation in Han Dong's reply, and his eyes were full of confidence and perseverance.
"Fine, as long as you can suppress the target, the binding device I carry can completely lock down the source of the contamination."
"Mm."
After the exchange, Han Dong began to move.
Holding the "Plague Doctor's Short Blade" in his left hand, his right arm activated the ghoul's associated characteristics (maintaining a normal arm size).
If you use a magnifying glass to observe the place that Han Dong is currently walking past, you'll notice that there are so fungal colonies left at the location where his footprints fell.
It indicated that Han Dong was in a state of full concentration at this ti, and was actually consuming the [Seed] energy in his mind every second to enter a state of plague manipulation.
The resonance magnet hung from his neck via a thin wire.
Buzz!
The change in tremor was so pronounced that Han Dong quickly eliminated nearly twenty cartons and was heading for the corner of the loft.
The closer to the corner, the more difficult it was for Coslin to shoot.
However, Coslin didn't have any worries or anxieties, as long as the target wasn't completely obscured, he was able to shoot accurately.
The gun had changed from a pistol form to a sniper rifle.
Mounted with a scope and stabilized at the entrance to the building via a stabilizer, the aim was locked on the cardboard boxes surrounding Han Dong at all tis.
anwhile, Coslin took another sip of holy water to make sure he was awake.

1. Han Dong's eyes locked onto the cardboard box located two ters away, in the corner.
"The most dangerous situation has been passed, the next step is the capture part."
From Han Dong's point of view, nothing was more dangerous than the process of searching for a target between a large number of cardboard boxes.
The danger was minimized when the remaining option was '1'.
Given that when Coslin had previously shot the old woman, the other person had not let out any screams and its actions were unaffected as well.
Han Dong considered that the damage inflicted on the old woman by the bullet should not be fatal enough.
Thus, holding out his hand to indicate the stairway with the gun Coslin had already set up, he used a small caliber bullet and shot the cardboard box.
There was only one purpose, to force the target out.
Boom!
A small caliber conventional bullet shot out, hitting the center of the cardboard box with precision.
Pow!
By the sound of it, it was clearly shot into the flesh and blood thing.
Hitting the target.
But.
The expected horror of the old woman showing up from the cardboard box with a fierce look on her face did not follow.
There was silence.
The cardboard box did not move, not even the slightest shake.
But.
A wisp of thick, grey-black liquid slowly spilled out of the cardboard box hole and spread across the floor.
"Well?"
Han Dong's eyebrows furrowed while signaling for Coslin to take another shot.
Whoosh~.
The bullet entered again.
The situation is exactly the sa, the cardboard box is motionless, and another strand of filthy liquid cos out of the hole.
Five consecutive trigger pulls.
As the bullets continuously entered, more and more filthy liquid flowed out from the bullet holes and had spread completely around the cardboard box.
The situation was beyond Han Dong's expectations.
Plague Beam!
Han Dong directly shot out a ray of plague energy from the tip of his short sword, invading the inside of the cardboard box.
Followed by this, the blood that ca out from the bullet's mouth also carried a certain amount of fluorescent bacteria at the sa ti, clearly indicating that the plague had worked.
But the cardboard box still didn't move at all.
"Is it because the first bullet happened to hit the vital area, causing the target to die, or has it been holding back?"
Han Dong clenched his teeth and strode on.
Miss Chen Li, be ready to show yourself at any ti.
Reaching the carton,
Bend over.
Extend your right hand.
The mont he lifted the cardboard box!
A white curtain hidden at the top of the attic descended.
At the sa ti, the old woman in the cardboard box stood up abruptly.
This caused the descending curtain cloth to just envelop the two.
Within the white curtain cloth, Han Dong and the old woman were zero distance from each other.
Unfortunately, the bullets that had just fired at the cardboard box all hit the old woman's head, so much so that seven flesh holes were left in her face.
Strange things were happening!
Ding ding ding ding! (shells hitting the ground)
Due to the wriggling of so sort of small tentacle, the shells inside the flesh hole were slowly pushed out and all fell to the ground.
Bizarre tentacles grew out of the flesh hole, cruising around Han Dong's "goggles".
Proximity contamination!
For the average trainee knight, this is certain death!
