Chapter 84 - Besieged and Retreat
Selina looked at the right side of the cave and saw the shoe which she had dropped.
She quickly put it on and moved forward, whereas Luke aimed at the tunnel opening.
A monster finally emerged, roaring.
Bang! Bang!
The monster had barely stuck its head out of the tunnel when two bullets hit it in its hideous face. It collapsed.
Luke finally turned around and caught up to Selina. He then picked her up and ran.
The monster’s body at the tunnel opening would delay pursuit for a while. It was the best opportunity to flee.
After a hundred meters, Selina suddenly exclaimed, “Above!”
She fired the Beretta at the same time.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Luke exerted his strength and dashed forward in a sudden sprint.
A monster fell to the ground with an enormous noise, just missing them, but Luke’s heart was still heavy. The monsters were back!
He shouted, “I’m going to throw you!”
With the momentum of his charge forward, he deftly tossed Selina into the trees.
Selina could only watch in fear as Luke moved further and further away with four monsters on his heels.
Coldly, Luke fired the M1911 rapidly.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Emptying the magazine, Luke put the gun back in the holster. He had killed two monsters, who crashed to the ground.
When he put the gun away, he drew his knife with his left hand and raised it.
As if he were chopping meat, he cut a monster in half.
The smelly reddish black fluid sprayed out. Luke dodged quickly to avoid it.
At the same time, a stick as thick as the mouth of a bowl hit his left arm.
The enormous force cracked his arm, bending it at a weird angle.
Luke’s face twisted in pain. He rolled away.
After the successful ambush, the last monster roared and chased him.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Blood blossomed on the monster. It lost control of its body, but still struggled to attack Luke, who was two meters away.
Gritting his teeth, Luke picked up his knife with his right hand and hurled it.
Pu!
Under his enormous strength, the knife cut into the monster’s skull and slashed off one third of its head before plunging into the ground and leaving only the handle jutting out.
Selina finally rushed toward him.
In the emergency just now, she had shot decisively and hit the last monster, saving Luke’s life.
Gritting his teeth, Luke quickly drew the M1911 from the holster and threw it to Selina with a magazine. “Load it with the magazine.”
He then got up and plucked the knife from the ground.
The gun was useful, but his left arm was broken, and it was impossible to reload the gun quickly. So, he couldn’t abandon the knife.
Selina followed his instruction, and didn’t check his injury.
She knew very well that Luke with a gun was far stronger than Luke without one.
She quickly reloaded the Beretta first and gave it to Luke.
It had the last magazine, which contained fifteen bullets, so it was most suitable for Luke.
After she was done, she reloaded the M1911, too.
Bang! Bang!
Luke shot another monster who had been sneaking up on them. He said again, “Tie the sheath to my right leg.”
He slowly glanced around at the bushes that he hadn’t paid attention to before.
Selina quickly took off the holster on his leg and moved the sheath from his left leg to his right.
“Let’s go.” Luke didn’t carry her this time.
The broken arm would affect his performance in a battle. It would be too dangerous if they were too close to each other.
He had only been carrying Selina because he wanted to return to the lake as soon as possible; he hadn’t expected the monsters to ambush them.
Now that he was wounded and might be attacked again, he had to prioritize his combat ability.
They moved through the woods, but their progress was slow.
It was difficult for Selina to walk without Luke’s help.
But with Luke on high alert, it was no more dangerous than when she had been on his back.
A moment later, the leaves above them rustled, and Luke raised his gun without saying anything.
Bang! Bang!
A monster’s head blew up when it swooped at them.
“Don’t panic. Don’t stop. Keep walking,” said Luke solemnly.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Another two monsters that charged in from the sides were shot.
Luke and Selina didn’t slow down as the monsters collapsed behind them.
Bang! Bang!
Luke suddenly turned around and shot a monster that had dashed out of the bushes.
Bang! Bang!
Another monster that lunged at their backs was shot when it was one meter away.
Luke backed off slightly to avoid the monster falling on him.
After another fifty meters, two more monsters arrived.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
This time, Luke finally made a mistake, and didn’t blow up one monster’s head in two shots. He could only shoot it once more to kill it.
When he tossed away his gun, Selina was already saying, “Take my gun.”
Luke extended his hand and took her M1911.
Two minutes later, they were finally out of the woods. Behind them were the bodies of twelve monsters, and still more were coming.
Sneering, Luke said, “Let’s get to the SUVs.”
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
After two more double shot rounds, two monsters collapsed, twitching. Luke gave the gun to Selina again.
Two seconds later, he took back the gun which had been reloaded. “There are guns in the SUV on the left. Pick them up and check if there are heavy-duty weapons in the police cars.”
Selina asked, “Police cars?” She didn’t stop moving when she asked the question.
Luke explained, “They belong to the sheriff and deputy sheriff of Wolfkyle. They’re with the perverted players, and came to get rid of us.”
Selina was rather shocked, but she quickly grabbed a M1911 from the guns that were on the ground, and ran to the police cars.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Luke killed another two charging monsters, but he knew that his accuracy had gone down significantly after all the fighting and running.
He didn’t dare aim at the monsters’ heads anymore, but chose to shoot at their torsos.
Although it wouldn’t kill them directly, most of them would be slowed down after suffering two shots.
Without their extraordinary speed, they were much less threatening.
