Pale White Bone Hands sprouted from the guards' bodies, some appearing on their necks, others on their faces and limbs.
After these bone hands appeared.
The bone hands growing from the guards' necks seized their heads and twisted. The sound of snapping bones rang out from their necks.
With a crisp crack, a guard whose head had been twisted nearly 180 degrees stared wide-eyed. Before he even realized what had happened, his life had already left him.
The White Bone Hands growing from their faces stabbed their sharp fingertips into the guards' eyes, bursting their eyeballs or tearing them straight out and making them scream without end.
As for those growing from their limbs, the White Bone Hands either controlled the guards' arms, making them aim their guns at their companions, or tripped them and sent them crashing to the floor.
Hindered by the White Bone Hands, the guards in the corridor were either dead or wounded, utterly routed.
Protected by her Earth Rock Armor, Li Yuqing ran over with ease. She picked up a rifle and shot the guards who were still alive, ending their suffering.
After finishing all this, she proceeded a little farther and arrived at the base's central control room.
Li Yuqing pulled up a nearby guard's corpse and pressed its palm against the palm-print lock. After the screen scanned and confirmed the identity, the automatic door retracted to one side and opened.
Letting go of the guard's corpse, Li Yuqing carried the rifle inside.
The staff in the central control room had all huddled to one side, their faces pale.
Li Yuqing smiled seductively. "Don't be afraid. As long as you cooperate, I won't hurt you."
She sighed. "If I had any other choice, I wouldn't want to kill anyone either."
"You'll understand, won't you?"
