Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Situation is not good Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Situation is not good The three left the “Sweetness” Hotel, led by Ying Baiyi, with Chen Ke and Sam following him toward the County Police station.
Chen Ke wasn’t sure if it was his imagination, but after leaving the orange-yellow light of the “Sweetness” lobby, the outside felt desolate and lonely.
Along the way, Chen Ke thought, since they had run into Ying Baiyi, could they possibly run into other survivors from the carriages?
However, when Chen Ke shared this speculation with Ying Baiyi, the latter imdiately denied it.
“There won’t be anyone else here,” Ying Baiyi said. “This phenonon has happened many tis, and the more specific details are classified by the Administration Bureau. I can’t explain it clearly to you because there’s too much to explain, and it’s endless.”
As he spoke, Ying Baiyi stopped, turned back to look at Chen Ke, and said, “Don’t be distracted by all sorts of wild thoughts. We need to concentrate on our tasks at hand. If you want to get out of here, you can only trust .”
His expression was stern, as if he was issuing a threat, but he soon smiled again, patted Chen Ke on the shoulder, and continued walking.
Chen Ke didn’t say anything. From Ying Baiyi’s actions and words, he wasn’t targeting him personally; he was just fearing sothing, under too much pressure, and on the verge of collapse.
Ying Baiyi gave Chen Ke the impression of a prisoner who, having been trapped in jail for a long ti, suddenly got a chance to escape—he was desperately clinging to this opportunity and showing malice toward anyone who might hinder him.
Sam, fearing that Chen Ke was upset, made light of the situation, “Honestly, I was thinking the sa thing. After all, the subway is so long, right? Hehe…”
Chen Ke smiled at Sam, indicating that he wasn’t taking the earlier incident to heart.
But when Sam turned around, Chen Ke’s expression stilled—yes, he hadn’t taken it to heart, he had rembered it in his mind.
Silently, when the three arrived at the entrance of the County Police station, a half-hour had passed.
The County Police station was on the street side, a gray building adjacent to many other buildings, different from the police offices Chen Ke rembered. Next to it was a double-lane road leading underground to the station’s parking garage.
The orange-red double doors were ajar, and it was pitch black inside, but it felt as though soone had been there just before.
The three stood outside, gathering their emotions, like an inexperienced team preparing to enter a dungeon to find equipnt, each not very familiar with the other.
“Alright gentlen, listen,” Ying Baiyi said seriously. “Once we go in, do not wander off, do not leave my sight. If anything happens or we encounter any monster-like creatures, don’t act on your own. Leave it to to handle, understand?”
His right hand flashed with blue light, and he swiftly summoned a mace, while his left hand pulled an M1911A1 pistol from the gun holster inside his jacket.
That pistol looked sowhat like Parker’s, and Chen Ke was sure it was a spiritual power weapon, and Ying Baiyi had even switched spiritual power weapons according to the combat environnt, assuredly having many Holy Relic gems…
“Do you have a gun? Hey buddy, since you have that pretty little hamr, could you lend that pistol…” Sam asked with a smile.
“No, this is a specialized spiritual gun for Administration Bureau agents. Ordinary people without spiritual energy can’t use it,” Ying Baiyi declined with a shake of his head.
“It looks no different from a regular firearm… Can’t this gun fire if I pull the trigger?” Sam questioned.
“The function of this trigger isn’t to release a firing pin but to extract spiritual energy from your fingertips. However, to simplify training, the firing chanism is designed like a trigger,” Ying Baiyi explained.
Chen Ke finally understood the firing principle of spiritual firearms—it was like this.
“Okay, I hope there are weapons inside that I can use,” Sam said, sowhat disappointed.
“Don’t worry, soldier. Soon you’ll be able to get your hands on an M14 Garand semi-automatic rifle and a Remington shotgun. If we’re lucky, they might even have the M4A1 here,” Ying Baiyi chuckled.
“I hope so, let’s go in then,” Sam was encouraged by Ying Baiyi’s words.
“I rember you telling there are red Maggot People inside, right?” Chen Ke added.
“Yes, regular bullets can’t kill them. The bullets will pass through their bodies, killing a few maggots, but soon new ones will replace them,” Ying Baiyi replied.
“That sounds terrible…” Chen Ke imagined the scene; if only his Fire-igniting Broadsword hadn’t been left at Fan Hede Cathedral…
“Don’t worry, my sledgehamr can lt them… one hamr blow per creature, easy and satisfying. But I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to save you if we are surrounded, so once inside, make sure to follow my lead, stealth carefully and avoid all combat,” Ying Baiyi instructed.
“Have you been inside before? Are there many of them?” Sam asked.
“Yes, I’ve been in before. I went in to help the survivors get so guns, but unfortunately, a few people didn’t listen and died inside. I had to leave empty-handed, taking the remaining people out,” Ying Baiyi said helplessly.
“Oh God…” Sam shook his head.
“Can we go inside now? Do you want to keep asking questions at the door, or will you curb your curiosity and follow ?” Ying Baiyi looked at Chen Ke and Sam.
Both made a gesture of invitation, and Ying Baiyi shook his head, gently pushing open the door to the County Police station.
When the door was pushed open, light finally shone into the pitch-dark room. The lights inside were off, as if there was a problem with the electrical system. On the floor in front of the reception desk in the lobby, a stack of A4-sized forms was scattered, with footprints on them.
“I stepped on those,” Ying Baiyi explained, seeing the puzzled looks on Chen Ke and Sam’s faces.
Since Ying Baiyi had been there before, he knew exactly where to find the guns, so the three of them didn’t need to waste much ti at this location. However, the problem was that the Maggot People he hadn’t killed last ti might still be blocking the way to the sa spot.
Chen Ke activated his Spiritual Vision and scanned the entire building, not just left and right but also up and down, missing nothing.
When the blue outlines passed through the walls into his view, Chen Ke was surprised by the number of Maggot People inside.
Almost every dark corner of each room was occupied by seven or eight Maggot People, clinging to the walls or lying on the floor, engaged in aningless writhing.
Upstairs, clusters of Maggot People surrounded sothing unknown, as if gathering warmth.
Below their feet, judging by the size of the silhouettes of the Maggot People, there seed to be a four or five-story deep underground space beneath the County Police station.
“Where are the guns?” Chen Ke asked.
“The armory is usually underground. I saw it once from the staircase, but I startled the Maggot People and had to run to save my life,” Ying Baiyi said.
Chen Ke looked down at the floor, and in one corridor, a massive number of Maggot People completely blocked the way, making it virtually impossible to reach the armory without a significant fight.
“This doesn’t look good, Ying Baiyi, this doesn’t look good at all,” Chen Ke turned off his Spiritual Vision, his recent exploration giving him a preliminary understanding of the County Police station.
This place was simply a nest of Maggot People.
