The Final Mission (Part Two)

Thud! Two minutes was neither particularly long nor particularly short. A sound came from outside the laser corridor, making everyone inside tremble.

Through the small glass window in the laser corridor's iron door, they could see a strange creature enter the main control room outside. It was three meters tall, covered in crimson muscle, with a meter-long tongue, no eyes, and an exposed brain. It was the Mutated Licker.

Screech! Screech! Screech!

The Mutated Licker's sharp claws scraped across the floor, producing a grating sound.

Zheng Zha and the others in the laser corridor were so frightened by the Licker outside that they didn't dare move. They were afraid that the slightest movement would provoke it into attacking.

"Everyone, go into the mainframe room." Suddenly, Ye Siyu's calm voice broke the silence in the laser corridor. The Mutated Licker, which had been searching the main control room, whipped its terrifying head around, startling Zheng Zha and the others.

Although the Mutated Licker had no eyes, its senses were exceptionally acute. Even through the thick iron door, it could clearly hear the faint breathing inside, let alone Ye Siyu's words and the heavy footsteps as the others recoiled in fright.

"Run! I'm not playing anymore!" The fat man, terrified by the Mutated Licker, shouted and threw his gun to the floor before fleeing straight into the mainframe room. His shout sent Zheng Zha and the others running back as well. In an instant, Ye Siyu was the only one left in the laser corridor.

Roar! The Mutated Licker roared and slammed its sharp claws against the laser corridor's iron door, leaving a small bulge in it.

Faced with this, Ye Siyu showed no sign of panic. He continued leisurely gathering the guns and ammunition from the floor and stuffing them into the bag in his hand. He knew perfectly well that the Mutated Licker would need at least ten-odd minutes to break through the laser corridor's iron door, so he wasn't afraid at all.

He had faced Lickers hundreds of times already and had encountered situations more dangerous than this one too many times to count. Now that a thick iron door stood between them, he was even less likely to panic or feel afraid.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Mutated Licker kept swinging its claws against the laser corridor's iron door. Every blow made Zheng Zha and the others in the mainframe room tremble.

"What on earth do you think Ye Siyu is up to?" Zhan Lan asked quietly beside Zheng Zha.

"I don't know." Zheng Zha shook his head. He didn't know what Ye Siyu was trying to do either, staying in the laser corridor instead of coming in.

"Red Queen, close the door. Once the Mutated Licker comes in, use a square laser to kill it and cut off its limbs." Just as Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan were discussing why Ye Siyu still hadn't come in, his voice reached their ears.

"I can use the laser to kill it directly," the Red Queen replied.

"No, I don't need you to kill it," Ye Siyu said coolly. Killing the Mutated Licker was also a hidden mission, but Ye Siyu had to kill it personally to complete it. Unlike the Lickers in the containers earlier, it couldn't be completed by having the Red Queen kill it.

"Okay." Hearing Ye Siyu's order, the Red Queen asked no further questions.

After hearing the conversation between Ye Siyu and the Red Queen, Zheng Zha and the others looked at Ye Siyu in surprise. None of them could understand why he wouldn't let the Red Queen use the laser to kill the Licker.

Clap, clap, clap. As everyone marveled at Ye Siyu and the Red Queen's conversation, Zhang Jie began applauding. "If you don't die, you'll definitely become a top expert in the Lord God Space."

Unlike newcomers such as Zheng Zha, Zhang Jie was a veteran. He understood perfectly well why Ye Siyu was doing this: for Reward Points and Horror Film Side-Story Plots.

"Maybe." Ye Siyu showed no excitement at Zhang Jie's praise. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and glanced at him.

Ye Siyu had no fondness for Zhang Jie whatsoever, because Zhang Jie had caused his death several times. When Ye Siyu first began searching for hidden missions, he had made many changes to the plot, and whenever danger came, Zhang Jie would trip him up. So no matter how Zhang Jie praised him, Ye Siyu remained wary of him.

Bang! Suddenly, a loud crash came from the laser corridor.

"The iron door has been breached by the Mutated Licker," the Red Queen reported.

"Activate the laser." On hearing the Red Queen's report, Ye Siyu walked over to the laser corridor's iron door.

Zzz!

At Ye Siyu's words, the lights in the laser corridor dimmed. Four thin laser lines appeared twenty centimeters from the four walls, crossing to form a huge square laser grid that swept swiftly toward the Mutated Licker charging into the corridor.

Faced with the approaching laser, the Mutated Licker reacted quickly. All four limbs left the floor as it leaped over the square laser grid.

"Red Queen, keep forming lasers." Just as the Mutated Licker cleared the laser grid and was about to land, Ye Siyu spoke calmly from the rear of the laser corridor.

Zzz! Another laser grid formed. Airborne and with nothing to push off, the Mutated Licker couldn't dodge this one as it had before and could only let the thin laser lines sweep toward it.

Sizzle!

The Mutated Licker's body was extremely tough. Even bullets could barely hurt it, but against the laser's astonishing cutting power, it was still far too fragile.

Just as Ye Siyu had imagined, the dazzling laser easily severed the Mutated Licker's four limbs. Blood sprayed from its wounds like fountains, and its massive body crashed heavily onto the pieces of corpses in the laser corridor as it let out a series of piercing screams.

"Red Queen, open the iron door," Ye Siyu said calmly, looking at the Mutated Licker in the laser corridor with its limbs severed. Then he raised the rifle in his hands.

Rat-tat-tat!

A tongue of flame burst from the rifle's muzzle. Bullets shot out amid the smell of gun smoke, speeding toward the Mutated Licker as it roared on the floor.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

The sound of bullets tearing through skin and entering muscle rang out. In the blink of an eye, Ye Siyu's entire burst struck the Mutated Licker, but a Mutated Licker was still a Mutated Licker. Even without its limbs, its defenses remained astonishing. All Ye Siyu's bullets did was break its skin; none damaged its internal organs. Every bullet aimed at its head was blocked by its tongue, whose reaction was undeniably fast.
