Chapter 19 Coward

"The plan is about to start. The West District will be noisy later. You should be mentally prepared." Marvin, as the commander-in-chief, began to command everyone to implement the plan.

"Received." Elliot and David leaned on the walls on both sides of the door. The two MP5s hanging on their chests had been unsafe and could be activated at any time. They covered their ears with their hands, waiting for the opportunity, and this opportunity was when the broadcast stopped.

Luo Guang had already prepared. Before the plan officially started, Luo Guang entered the west fire door.

Behind the door was a reception room. Go straight along the corridor through the reception room and turn right. The first door on the right was the archive room.

Elliot and David had cleaned the reception room when they set out for the archive room, so Luo Guang didn't need to clean it in advance. In addition, there was a door in the reception room to separate the West District, so Marvin was more confident to open one-third of the fire door.

At the same time, in order to prevent cross-frequency, the channel received by Luo Guang's intercom is different from that in Elliot's hand, so Marvin placed two intercoms in front of him, one on the left and one on the right, corresponding to the intercom channels of Luo Guang and Elliot.

Seeing that Luo Guang was also at the door of the reception room, Marvin said to both sides: "The plan begins."

Luo Guang heard Marvin's words coming from the intercom on his waist, moved his fingers holding the gun, and waited for the opportunity to act. Because the purpose of this action was to cover Elliot and David back to the office hall, Luo Guang did not take out the telescopic dagger, but held the gun with both hands, which was also convenient for covering his ears later.

The howling sound suddenly came out from the radio speakers in the West District, instantly disturbing the originally quiet air in the West District.

Although they were mentally prepared, Elliot and David were still shocked by the sudden howling sound and were covering their ears hard.

Luo Guang was far away, separated by a door, and with the help of the system, he could barely accept the noise.

The system originally did not have this function, but with the help of the T virus modified by the system, the system can slightly change some structures in Luo Guang's body and restore them to their original state at any time.

Marvin put the microphone next to the speaker and stared at the screen.

The sound insulation between the various areas and the upper and lower floors was done well, and the howling sound was not real in the office lobby where Marvin was.

"It worked." Marvin looked at it without hesitation. The lickers in the corridor in front of Elliot's door immediately ran out of the police station through the window as if they were scared. A long-lost smile appeared on his face. Finally, he got back a city from these fierce lickers.

The zombies who were dazed at the door of the archives were also attracted by the sound, and they didn't think it was noisy. Most of them walked towards the radio speakers.

The situation of the plan was very good, and Marvin immediately used the intercom to inform Elliot and David to start the action.

Marvin called several times in a row, and Elliot heard the call, or saw the light on the intercom when receiving the signal.

Elliot hadn't expected that listening to the howling sound would be so uncomfortable. He felt like he was about to lose his balance. He took out the intercom and shouted to Marvin: "Marvin, turn off that damn sound. It makes it difficult for us to move."

Marvin heard what Elliot said, but he didn't turn off the music immediately. Instead, he was checking the situation of those long-tongued ghosts, or lickers.

"Marvin!" Elliot's shout came again.

"Got it." Marvin took the microphone and turned it on, and the howling sound stopped instantly.

Although Elliot still felt a little dazed and couldn't walk steadily, he still shook his head and tried his best to concentrate and started to act.

Opening the door, Elliot and David each took one side and aimed their guns. In addition to the Beretta M9FS pistol, the standard pistol of the Raccoon City Police, they also each brought a classic weapon MP5, which was also the source of their confidence in deciding to go to the archives to find escape information.

After the howling stopped, Luo Guang opened the door leading to the West District from the reception room after Marvin reminded him that it was safe outside the door. He only showed a little bit of his body, raised his gun with both hands, and aimed at the corridor.

The power supply of the reception room was not connected to the power supply system of the West District, but was the same power supply system as the service hall, so there was still electricity in the reception room at this time, and the light shone from the door, illuminating the life path of Elliot and David.

Not long after, Luo Guang saw the figures of Elliot and David.

However, Elliot and David, who wanted to leave the West District as soon as possible, did not pay attention to a location.

There was only a straight corridor between Elliot and Luo Guang, but there was a fork road a few meters before reaching the reception room, just to the left of Elliot and David.

Just as Luo Guang encountered in the east office before, these ordinary zombies are not all sensitive to sound. Perhaps the virus that controls the corpses is different in its choice. Some ordinary zombies like to take the initiative to attack and hunt humans by sound. There are also zombies that will wait for people to bite their legs when they are not paying attention, and zombies that seem to be playing dead, etc.

The computer monitor on Marvin's side is not big, and at most four places can be viewed on the same screen, namely the outside of the West District Building, the corridor outside the archives room, the corridor that Elliot and the others must pass through to the reception room, and the last one is the surveillance of the reception room.

Luo Guang is now standing at the door of the reception room, so naturally he can't observe the situation there.

Under many coincidences, that corridor has become a blind spot for everyone.

Just as Elliot and the two passed the corner, a zombie lying on the ground in the corridor reached out and grabbed Elliot's feet. Elliot, who was still running forward, accidentally fell down. On the ground.

The zombie's head was still hidden in the blind corridor, and Luo Guang's perspective was unable to deal with the zombie immediately.

Luo Guang saw that David, who was one position behind Elliot, did not stop moving his feet after seeing Elliot fall. He turned his head and glanced at the corridor on the left, his face changed drastically, he shouted, and then a long line The thing shot out from the blind corridor and grazed the back of David's head.

David didn't care whether the back of his head was still there, he rushed into the reception room with a few big steps, and ran to the office hall without stopping.

Luo Guang, who originally planned to shoot the long bar, saw David rushing toward him faster.

In order to avoid accidental injury, he only retracted his body behind the wall before David rushed in. When David came in and Luo Guang reached out with his gun again, the long strip had already been retracted.

"There are lickers." Luo Guang ignored the danger and immediately reminded Elliot.

After Luo Guang said this, Luo Guang heard the crawling sound of some kind of creature coming from the blind corridor, seeming to confirm the location where Luo Guang had just spoken.

"Made." Luo Guang cursed in his heart.

The head of the zombie that grabbed Elliot had not yet popped out. Luo Guang walked out of the reception room, walked along the left wall, raised his gun with both hands, and kept moving forward while aiming at the blind corridor.

Not to mention that the MP5 in Elliot's hand had been thrown far away, Luo Guang's words "licker" made Elliot dare not make any move.

Fortunately, the body lying underneath him didn't make too much noise when he fell. The only sound was covered by David's scream, but David actually ran away like that.

Glancing towards his legs, he saw that there was a zombie with half of it under his feet, which was being pulled closer to him with one hand.

Marvin also found that something was wrong, but it was too late to switch the surveillance camera at this time. Because of the presence of the licker, Marvin did not dare to use the walkie-talkie to tell Luo Guang and others about the situation.

"Bang"

With the sound of a gunshot, Luo Guang immediately left his original position and rushed towards the MP5 on the ground.

But in less than a second, a skinless licker with sharp claws on its limbs, an exposed brain, and a salivary mouth jumped out of the blind corridor and clung directly to the vertical wall like a spider. Luo Guang's tongue shot out from the spot where Luo Guang had just fired, directly punching a hole in the wall next to the door of the reception room.

"Da da da da da..."

The MP5 itself has little recoil, and in the hands of Luo Guang, who has become stronger, it is like a docile kitten without any temper.

This allowed Luo Guang to accurately pour bullets directly on the licker's head.

After being hit hard on the head, the Licker fell off the wall and rolled around, but it also missed the other bullets fired by Luo Guang who was holding the trigger.

"Crack." Luo Guang only fired about 10 rounds, and a standard 30-round magazine was empty.

Licker's body twisted a few times, turned over, and slapped Elliot's side with a claw. Just as he was about to launch an attack on the place where Luo Guang shot with the MP5, there were another fifteen consecutive shots.

Luo Guang directly emptied the magazine of the Beretta M92F pistol in his hand, and the licker in front of him finally stopped moving and collapsed on the ground.

Luo Guang did not retreat to the reception room in a hurry. While changing bullets, Luo Guang walked slowly to the corner and glanced at the blind corridor. There were zombies slowly coming to eat.

"Let's go." After confirming that there was only one Licker left behind, Luo Guang said to Elliot and raised his gun to cover Elliot's getting up.

Elliot kicked away the zombie that was grabbing his feet and stood up.

Although the MP5 that he and Luo Guang dropped twice was out of bullets, Elliot still picked up the special gun and whispered when passing by Luo Guang: "Thank you... and I'm sorry."

Luo Guang just nodded without looking away, stepped back, and returned to the reception room with Elliot before returning to the office hall to join Marvin.

Because Luo Guang walked last, Elliot returned to the office hall first.

Because Luo Guang was responsible for covering and rearguard, when Luo Guang returned to the office hall, he saw Elliot clenching his fist and about to punch David on the fat face. Marvin rushed over from the side. After stopping Elliot, he didn't even have time to close the fire door on the west side.

"Calm down, Elliot!" Marvin saw clearly from the surveillance camera, so he didn't ask Elliot what he wanted to do.

"Marvin, you also saw what this guy just did, this damn coward!" Elliot returned to the office hall and became angry when he saw David.

He had saved David several times, and even gave him the last full MP5 magazine to save his life. But when he was in crisis just now, David actually escaped without firing a shot.

If it weren't for the corpse on the ground and David's scream, he would have become the ghost under the licker's tongue.

Fortunately, Luo Guang had mentioned the habits of these lickers before, and even shouted to remind himself of the danger, attracting the attention of the lickers crawling over to him.

The more Elliot thought this way, the more dissatisfied he became with David, and even thinking about some of the previous things made Elliot even more angry.

"That's enough." Marvin held Elliot's hand and stood in front of David.

"Marvin! You saw what he did on the surveillance camera." Elliot was very angry that David had left him and walked away, repeating what Marvin said to him.

Marvin also knew that David's escape would make Elliot angry, but this was the time when they needed to work together, and Marvin could only play the role of a mediator to prevent the conflict between the two from deepening.

"Elliot, although David's behavior was not right, David's scream objectively saved you." Marvin saw that the first target of the licker was the screaming David, which saved the fallen Elliot from the first attack of the licker.

"Humph, that's also a matter of early death and late death." Elliot said angrily: "If it wasn't what you said, then I wouldn't use my fists."

Elliot and Marvin argued fiercely, but David still looked frightened and kept silent.

David didn't say anything that it was Elliot who didn't pay attention to the fall, which led to a series of things that happened later. Such words would only provoke conflicts, so Marvin just needed to focus on calming Elliot down.

"Yes, but now is not the time for us to quarrel. You can say whatever you want after we get out. Now calm down. I have something to tell you." Marvin did not deny Elliot's words blindly, but gave him a way out.

Elliot was indeed furious, but after being blocked by Marvin a few times, Elliot also cooled down his heated mind a little.

Unable to vent to David, Elliot could only sulk and asked Marvin unhappily: "What's the matter?"

Marvin did not answer immediately, but pulled Elliot aside, leaned close to Elliot's ear, and whispered: "Brad passed away."
