Chapter 554 Martyr
After receiving treatment, the young man looked much better.
He supported himself and sat up, his face full of gratitude. Just as he was about to thank Gao Fei and Huang Hansheng, he suddenly started to retch.
Huang Hansheng had already found a plastic bag and was waiting beside him.
Seeing that the young man was nauseous, he quickly opened the plastic bag and motioned him to vomit into the plastic bag.
The young man lowered his head and vomited.
The vomit was all foul-smelling mud.
Jiang Feng heard the vomiting sound and couldn't help but care about it. He came over to take a look.
"Strange, why would you vomit out a pile of mud?"
"No one would swallow mud for no reason." Gao Fei smiled and made a blatant "tongue kiss" gesture to his girlfriend, "Unless someone forced it into him."
"Ah? This..." Jiang Feng vaguely guessed something, and was so curious that he couldn't help it, but he was too embarrassed to ask.
"This young man, tall and handsome, was chosen by the witch and raped..."
The older security guard next to him whispered the truth.
Jiang Feng wiped his cold sweat.
She complained to her boyfriend with mixed feelings: "This guy is so miserable! Just think about the smell of the mud demon... I guess he will never get rid of the psychological shadow in his life!"
Ma Tao and others searched other rooms on the second floor, but did not find the trapped people, so they came to meet up and escort the rescued people to shelter.
Before leaving, Gao Fei suddenly remembered something.
"Which one of you posted the distress message on social media?"
The four men looked at each other, looking a little strange.
"From this morning, I sent the distress message." One of the bald security guards raised his hand, looking embarrassed.
"What about yesterday?" Gao Fei asked calmly.
The man did not say anything, his eyes cast on the dead nailed to the wall.
"The monsters forced us to ask for help from the outside world. The person who was responsible for sending the distress message at first was Lao Zheng."
"Afterwards, two waves of rescue teams came, but they were all killed by the monsters in ambush."
"At that time, we realized the monsters' sinister intentions. They deliberately used us as bait and used the distress messages we posted to attract people to come and die."
"Those despicable monsters, in order to continuously lure rescuers into the trap, even provided us with food, so that we would not starve to death or die of thirst and lose the bait."
The bald security guard complained in grief and anger.
"Lao Zheng saw through the monsters' conspiracy, so he secretly sent a message to expose the truth and prevent others from coming to die again."
"Unfortunately, the monsters discovered this message soon after it was sent, and cruelly killed Lao Zheng and nailed his body to the wall as a warning to us."
The bald security guard continued:
"The leader of the monsters, the witch covered in mud, forced me to take over Lao Zheng's mobile phone and withdraw the message I had sent before... You all know what happened later without me saying it."
At this point, he couldn't help choking up.
He lowered his head, tears in his eyes.
It was obvious that he blamed himself for his cowardice.
Although he had thought about dying like Lao Zheng, he finally chose to compromise and was forced to play an undignified role in the face of the threat of the devil.
Gao Fei couldn't bear to blame him.
After all, from a legal perspective, it is understandable to choose emergency avoidance when life is threatened.
As for whether he can get rid of the guilt in the future, it is not something that outsiders can interfere with.
Facing the coercion of the devil, insisting on justice and dying is not something that ordinary people can do.
Even for mutants with supernatural powers and Tiangong special police who are responsible for fighting the devil, it is rare to be able to not fear the threat of death and stick to principles.
What's more, Lao Zheng is an ordinary person who has no superpowers and no obligation to fight the devil.
Because of this, his sacrifice is even more precious.
Such a civilian hero who has nothing but integrity and courage and is willing to sacrifice his life to convey the truth to the outside world is more worthy of praise and remembrance.
Gao Fei pulled out the spear on the wall and collected Lao Zheng's body for burial after the disaster.
It was dark outside the window.
A thrilling and busy day passed just like that.
The rain was still falling, but Gao Fei clearly felt that the rain had weakened and the concentration of magic in the dark clouds was also decreasing.
Perhaps this means that the disaster is about to pass, and the day when the rain will clear and the rainbow will reappear is not far away?
The special police escorted the rescued downstairs, sent them to the assault boat, and then returned to the resident hotel to rest.
Today's mission ends here.
On the way back, Gao Fei checked the level data of the special police team.
Ma Tao and Qi Tian, the special police level was upgraded to level 11.
Li Jiajia and Ma Yun were promoted to level 9 special police together.
Xiao Ma's progress is particularly outstanding, firmly occupying the top position in the newcomer rankings of the entire site.
Wang Daqing's main profession could have been upgraded to level 11, but due to the needs of the team, he had already used most of the experience points accumulated today to upgrade his secondary profession, and the Paladin was upgraded to level 8, and learned the 2nd ring magic "Protection from Poison".
Huang Hansheng and Hao Le also made it to the newcomer rankings of the entire site, one ranked third and the other ranked fifth.
The second and fourth places ahead of them both belonged to Team 11, that is, the newcomers under the supervision of Team 01.
Huang Hansheng and Hao Le's SWAT level remained unchanged at level 7, while their main and secondary occupations were upgraded by one level each.
Huang Hansheng is now a level 6 Radiant Apostle, gaining 15 points of fire and radiant resistance each, and also comprehended the 2nd-ring divine spell "Phantom Step".
…
Phantom Step: Spend a bonus action, and you will be enveloped in silver-white mist and instantly teleport to an unoccupied position within the range of this round of movement. Moving in this way will not be subject to opportunity attacks.
…
Similar to "Transfer", "Phantom Step" is also a very practical low-level teleportation spell.
Although the range of teleportation is relatively narrow, only equivalent to the walking distance within six seconds, it is still very good to use this trick to escape when you are surrounded.
Hao Le's Wandering Swordsman has also been upgraded to level 6, and the newly comprehended professional ability is the notorious "Ghost Strike"!
Rogue professions are just "opportunists" in the early stages.
If there is no chance to sneak up on the enemy and stab them from behind, and no teammates are in the front row to provide flanking attacks, the thief's strongest "sneak attack" ability cannot be brought into play, and he can only play a supporting role.
However, after learning "Ghost Strike", the thief profession immediately turned around and became powerful!
Even if no one provides flanking attacks and you can't backstab from behind, you can still use "Ghost Strike" to attack head-on and teach your opponent a lesson!
For creatures that could not be sneak attacked before, such as elements, undead, mud monsters, plants, constructs, etc., "Ghost Strike" can still be used to deal sneak attack damage.
