Your Bullets Can Turn Corners? / The Three-Faced Couple

Alex nodded subconsciously, tightened his grip on the shotgun, which didn't require high precision, and calmed down a little.

"Then protect yourself and try your best not to die!"

After Kevin finished speaking in a deep voice, he suddenly thrust his AR-15 assault rifle, which was fitted with a bayonet, forward.

A former Blackwatch soldier, his body rotting and the outline of a bone blade visible on his arm, was pinned to the ground with his skull pierced.

A series of rustling sounds came from all around, indicating that a major battle was about to break out!

P. S.: The plot hole regarding the Black Light has been filled; it's a great item for upgrading ordinary soldiers.

Chapter 843, Section 881: Can Your Bullets Curve?

As the mist surged, hundreds of Blackwatch soldiers, their bodies decaying to varying degrees and their arms sprouting skeletal weapons, swarmed toward the four like mad dogs seeing food.

"Looks like that, a Blacklight Infected?" Kevin narrowed his eyes, holding an AR-15 assault rifle, and pulled the trigger one after another, cleanly and efficiently blowing the heads off four or five of the front-line Infected.

Lara is on the left, using her HK416 to clear the fan-shaped area in front of her, while Ada, with a rocket launcher on her back and an HS2000 in hand, is mainly targeting any stray monsters that get close.

"They were infected? The Blacklight Virus leaked from your lab?"

Kevin straightened his back and thrust his arm, piercing through the skull of an infected person along with their helmet. He then charged forward, using the corpse as cover, and shot down seven or eight more infected people in succession.

"Probably not. Most Blackwatch soldiers have been injected with a modified version of the Blacklight Virus to enhance their physical condition."

"I think it's because the interdimensional portal was opened by the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, and the mist it released caused the Blacklight Virus in these soldiers' bodies to be activated after they died."

"Hopefully, this combined reaction won't create any supernatural Blacklight Virus- like monsters..."

Alex clutched his shotgun tightly, seemingly lost in thought, and muttered to himself.

"Can't you see I'm busy? Can you stop making promises you can't keep?"

Kevin kicked aside the infected person acting as an obstacle, cleared a section of the area, turned around, rolled his eyes, and snorted coldly.

At the same time, Lara kicked an infected person's neck, sending it spinning 540 degrees. Then, her eyes flashed, and she braced herself with her left arm against an HK416 while drawing a pistol from her waist with her right.

Immediately, the Countess twisted her body, extended her right arm, and drew an arc in a semi-circular trajectory. As the gun was aimed at Kevin, she pulled the trigger.

Laugh!

A sharp whooshing sound rang out as the bullet, after severing a strand of Kevin's hair at his temple, surprisingly followed an arc, striking an infected man who lunged at the commander from behind and blowing him in the head.

Your bullet... Kevin appeared calm on the surface, but was actually quite shaken.

"... It can turn, right?"

The Countess chuckled smugly, adding to the question Kevin had been wanting to ask. She twirled her beloved gun several times, then precisely inserted it into its holster with a flashy, showy gesture.

"When I was bored, I spent some time with a shady organization in West Asia— the Wanted —and learned some life skills there."

"Gun Fu, and skills that can make bullets curve..."

Kevin, wielding his AR-15 assault rifle, slashed a bone knife swung by an infected creature, then bent his knee and swept it horizontally, taking the monster down.

At the same time, the commander used the crouching posture to stabilize himself, first shooting the head off an infected person struggling to get up in front of him, and then firing in bursts, and another wave of monsters fell to the ground.

"Wanted? You're there, you don't happen to have a stage name called [Fire Fox], do you?"

"I say, you're usually always working diligently at the SCP Foundation, so how come you know so much about our private lives?"

"Wait, I almost forgot, the second Speaker Hatsune Miku, was in the same boat as you."

"You guys weren't just spending all your time gossiping and slacking off at work, were you?"

Lara wanted to maintain an air of mystery, but Kevin saw right through her once again. Frustrated, she couldn't help but wonder how he had obtained this secret information.

Having been unwittingly struck down, the Countess unleashed her full power, riddling the three unfortunate men who charged at her with bullets.

"Even though I don't work for the SCP Foundation, shouldn't I at least care about my subordinates?"

Kevin heard the crisp click of an empty gun and casually tossed over a spare magazine of the Wolf Pack Squad's standard weapon.

"If I had a choice, I would prefer to be cared for in bed."

Lara didn't even look, she simply curled her fingers to grab the magazine, deftly pulled and snapped it shut, completing a clean reload. She winked and smiled, then stepped forward to replace Kevin, spouting wild and insolent words.

Faced with such blatant and unrestrained teasing, Kevin coughed violently, and even his action of changing magazines faltered slightly, almost embarrassing himself on the spot.

As the last wave of infected emerged from the fog, the two saw Ada's actions behind them and immediately retreated.

"Boom!"

The female agent, carrying a rocket launcher, simply fired one, blasting dozens of monsters into flying pieces.

Kevin and Lara, who were well-prepared, cunningly pushed the oblivious Alex to the front, only to be met with a torrent of foul-smelling blood.

Suddenly, Alex, who hadn't yet experienced much gunpowder or the smell of war, found his white coat stained with red marks, looking utterly disheveled.

The three skillfully bypassed Alex, who was stunned and had been tricked, as gunshots and grenade explosions rang out one after another.

Sparks flew amidst the mist as these monstrous shells, still moving, were swiftly and physically exorcised by the group of habitual criminals.

After a satisfying massacre, the corridor, less than a hundred meters long, was littered with severed limbs and corpses lying haphazardly.

The four quickly arrived at the closed metal door at the end of the passage, and through the pervasive mist, they could see eerie red and black blood streaks growing on the surrounding walls.

"It seems that even after escaping here, they couldn't avoid death and infection..."

Ada glanced at the several highly decomposed Blackwatch corpses in front of the metal door, having shot themselves, shook her head slightly, and bent down to collect some equipment and ammunition to prepare for the situation ahead.

Just as the female agent was about to draw her electromagnetic pulse gun and open the metal, the Countess became somewhat tempted.

"Can I borrow it to play with this time?"

Ada smiled and nodded, glanced up, and stepped back slightly.

These mold-like things became denser closer to the metal door, gradually forming an interconnected network that eventually led to the space behind the metal door.

Kevin's eyelids twitched, and he also subtly increased the distance. This time, Alex, who had clearly learned his lesson, couldn't help but follow the two of them, moving away from the opening door.

With a dull groan of mechanical friction, the already somewhat deformed metal door swung open completely.

Lara, who was blocking the doorway and peering inside, suddenly narrowed her eyes and bent over backward with remarkable flexibility.

Suddenly, a bone knife with red flesh attached swept across the air, and Alex, who was in the center of the passage, was the first to be hit.

Fuck! You bunch of bastards are trying to kill me!

Alex, who vaguely sensed the terrifying nature of the Causality Weapon, only had time to fire one shot before resignedly closing his eyes and cursing inwardly.

However, at the critical moment, a sudden tug on his shoulder miraculously saved Alex from being cut in half.

The researcher, still shaken, looked at Kevin, who had helped him up, before he could even express his gratitude.

Lara, who used her waist flexibility to perform several backflips to escape the danger zone, had a somewhat strained smile.

"Gentlemen, it seems we're in trouble..."

In the passage ahead, there were hundreds of fleshy, reddish-black pustules, each taller than a person.

A monster the size of a truck, with muscles as bulging as reddish-gray rocks, emerged from the pustules of flesh and blood, swinging its fleshy, whisker-like right hand as it retracted the bone knife stuck in the floor.

Chapter 844, Section 882: A Couple with Three Faces

"They are the Overlords, they have truly evolved!"

Alex looked astonished and somewhat incredulous. This monster was a superior evolved form of an ordinary infected person, but it initially only existed in concepts and artificial breeding.

This was the first time he had ever seen a ruler that had evolved naturally like this.

Kevin and his companions watched the hundreds of pustules gradually crack open, and the monsters gestating within them seemed about to burst forth, their pupils contracted, and they immediately raised their hands to fire.

However, the Overlord crossed its arms to block its head, and the dense bullets were instantly deflected by the exoskeleton extending from its wrists.

Similarly, even if the bullet hits the heart, the tough outer layer of skin can still easily deflect it.

"Roar!"

At this moment, the enraged Overlord strode heavily and roared as he charged toward Kevin and the other two, the bone blades that had formed on his arms extending outwards along with his fleshy tendrils.

"Get out of the way!"

Ada knelt down and roared. Kevin and Lara retreated hastily. As the female agent pulled the trigger, a rocket whistled and hit the Overlord in the head, exploding in flames on the monster's face.

The shrapnel immediately pierced the Overlord's eye, eliciting an angry roar from the monster.

The injured Overlord immediately gouged out a pair of shattered eyeballs, and then it actually swallowed the thing stuck with bits of flesh, a very bloody scene.

Even more incredibly, tiny pores appeared on the monster's muscles, and with each rhythmic contraction, the surrounding white mist was frantically drawn into its body.

At the same time, the fleshy tendrils of the ruler's dark eye sockets wriggled and wove into a layer of grayish-white cocoon.

In just a few breaths, the Overlord tore open the formed cocoon around his eyes, revealing his perfectly intact eyeballs. The hard bone armor on his wrist, along with the dense network of red and black blood vessels, actually began to spread upwards.

"Damn it! These things are way more powerful than the BOWs created by the T-Virus!"

"If that guy weren't still useful, I'd kill the bastard who developed the Blacklight Virus right now!"

Lara narrowed her eyes. Her long-term dealings with bio-weapons had given her a headache from the increased workload, and she wished she could just kill the person behind her.

"See? They're evolving by absorbing some kind of substance from the mist!"

"I suspect that most of the monsters that have appeared in the town are probably native Earth creatures, only they've been infected!"

Ada noticed the breathing holes on the Overlord's body, and her expression became somewhat grave.

Kevin nodded slightly and responded.

"No matter what, we need to find the source of the fog and shut it off! Hurry!"

The man took the vibranium-forged European obstacle-clearing knife from Lara's back, stepped on the blades thrown by the Overlord, and ran diagonally upwards.

The monster reacted extremely quickly, reaching out its left hand to swat the flea to death. However, Kevin leaped over the obstacle formed by the Overlord's left arm, plunging his longsword into its neck.

The Overlord, having failed in his attack and now wounded, became even more ferocious, striking his neck with both hands.

But as the claws rose into the air, Kevin had already gripped the obstacle-clearing knife horizontally, changing the thrust into a slash.

With a burst of blood mist, the relatively slender man actually severed the Overlord's head.

As the truck-like body of the Overlord collapsed with a crash, Kevin used the remaining force to jump off the corpse and stand before the crowd.

He casually twirled the knife, flicked the blade, and was quite satisfied with the weapon's current performance.

Due to the interference of the fog with electromagnetic fields, weapons made of Soul Steel and some nanomechanical insects have become unresponsive to varying degrees.

Vibranium, being a pure metal, retains its original properties.

However, vibranium is not cheap. It would be good enough if you could get some to make a few knives and equip them in the team.

Anyway, superhumans like Alice and Jill, who have fully integrated the T-Virus, have superhuman physical abilities. They can throw cars with their bare hands, and even dismantle mechs in front of people in no time.

"Hurry! Get rid of them before they all come out!"

Kevin pointed his knife forward, and Ada and Lara understood. They immediately pulled out grenades and punctured the festering sores that covered the corridor, forcing out the nascent Overlords.

The three men, wielding obstacle-clearing knives, used Kevin, who had transformed into a killing machine, as a spearhead, and advanced rapidly forward.

Lara skillfully used bullet-curving techniques to bypass the monsters' defenses and blocks, headshotting them with every shot.

Ada actually practiced and learned on the spot, and after only a few dozen tests, she had a basic grasp of the technique. Combined with Gun Fu, the trajectory of the bullets was simply unpredictable.

Alex stared at the enormous head rolling around on the ground, his eyelids twitching. He went from being dumbfounded at first to gradually becoming numb and expressionless.

"What are you staring at? I'm asking you! How do I get to the lab?"

Kevin swung his obstacle-clearing blade, waking Alex from his daze, and frowned with a cold snort.

"Turn left at the fork in the road ahead, then go straight and you'll arrive."

Alex snapped out of his daze and hurriedly answered, swallowing hard as he looked at the hundreds of Overlords that had been slaughtered.

"I now suspect that, compared to these people, you are the real monsters!"

Kevin kicked aside the massive, truck-like corpse of the Overlord, revealing a blood-stained metal door behind it. He turned and patted Alex on the shoulder, shaking his head slightly.

"These are the real obsolete plans for human evolution. If it weren't for the spatial divinity of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube and the electronic interference of the mist, I could show you something even more outrageous."
