Almost as soon as Ryota saw the Licker, the latter launched an attack.
He saw its head and neck tilted back, and its mouth opened to reveal two rows of sharp teeth.
The red tongue shot out of his mouth like a bullet, extending for three meters, instantly entangled the man in the jacket closest to him, and dragged him in front of him.
"What...!"
There was only one scream, and the man in the jacket was bitten by the neck and died on the spot.
However, the Licker didn't swallow right away.
It heard the heartbeats of no less than 10 people around it.
After killing one of them, he immediately launched a second hunt.
The thick limbs bent slightly, and after jumping, its figure disappeared in place.
Attacking in a direction where several heartbeat sounds were close together.
Right in front of that direction, Misaki, Inaho, and the task force who had just carried Misaki on her back were standing there not far from each other.
At this time, Ryota only felt a shadow flash in his field of vision, and the Licker dashed towards his teammate beside him.
It was so fast that he didn't even have time to respond.
Next to him is Misaki, and in front of Misaki is the task force.
As the Licker rushed over, he swung his claws, and the task force was split in two, and the ravaged body was sent flying to the floor next to it, with intestines and viscera strewn across the floor.
The monster didn't stop after killing the second person, and kept running towards Misaki behind.
Even if one acted as a shield to delay the Licker and give it the best chance of dodging, but with Misaki's weak reflexes, she couldn't dodge at all.
In desperation, Ryota could only stretch out his left hand which was bitten by the zombie dog earlier, and pushed it towards Misaki with all his strength.
Misaki fell to the left because of this force.
Before she hit the ground, the Licker drew closer.
The sharp claws capable of tearing through steel swung straight where she had been.
Torn.
The air vibrated, as if screaming.
Blood immediately splashed into the air.
Ryota's left arm, which was stretched out to push someone away, snaps from the shoulder before it can be pulled back, and is torn into several pieces by the sharp claws of the Licker.
Due to this immense force, his entire body flew backwards and hit the floor heavily, shattering the floor into cracks.
"Eh...ah...!!"
The severe pain made Ryota immediately scream.
The violent impact when he landed penetrated from his back to his entire body, his internal organs trembled, and the blood in his mouth overflowed like money.
At the same time, Misaki also fell to the ground.
After her head hit the hard floor, and blood flowed down her cheeks.
"Oh my god! What kind of monster is this!?"
"Attack!"
Everyone on the task force panicked.
They had run out of bullets when exterminating the zombies, and the only weapon they had left was a military knife.
At this time, the sound of an automatic rifle suddenly sounded!
Inaho was the first to react, while retreating, he aimed the muzzle of the gun at the licker, and fired the bullet quickly.
"Damn it...!"
James, the captain of the task force, shouted angrily, turned around and raised Ryota's Glock 19, and shot wildly at the visible monsters.
But the Licker had jumped out of his previous position.
Its speed was so fast that the naked eye could not perceive it accurately.
With the support of its thick and strong limbs, it moved across the ground, walls, and ceiling, seemingly ignoring gravity and dodging the bullets that were fired at it.
"Shiro-chan! Shiro-chan!"
Misaki endured the pain from the fall, and quickly got up and approached Ryota.
Ignoring the bleeding wound on her head, she looked at Ryota who was very weak and kept vomiting blood, and called his name in a crying voice.
"Quick...give an order..."
Ryota slowly got up, and reminded Misaki in a weak voice:
"Let them... close their... eyes! Fast!"
After he finished speaking, he clenched his teeth tightly to prevent himself from collapsing from the pain.
At the same time, his right hand fell into the backpack beside him, and he took something out.
It was a flashbang that Inaho bought from the mall just in case he was at the safe house.
There were two in total, he and Inaho took one each.
At this time, Inaho was shooting and suppressing the Licker, and didn't have time to use this thing at all.
It can only be done by him!
Ryota brought the flash bomb to his mouth, bit the ring and pulled it away.
The severe pain made his eyes bloodshot, and when seen from the front, he displayed intense ferocity.
(Go to hell!! motherfucker!)
Roaring in his heart, Ryota managed to force himself up and threw the flash bomb out.
Misaki also reacted, and quickly pointed the remote control at everyone to give instructions.
The next moment, everyone guarding against the Lickers closed their eyes and covered their eyes with their hands.
The flash bomb explosion instantly obliterated the surrounding color.
A dazzling light filled the entire platform.
A high decibel voice roared out, suppressing all other sounds.
Everyone fell into a desolate environment in another sense.
Both Ryota and Misaki's eardrums were punctured by the sound, their chests were extremely stuffy, and blood was overflowing from their ears and noses.
After everyone opened their eyes again, their gaze swept forward, and their vision became a little blurry.
However, it does not affect the ability to see the surroundings clearly.
A dozen meters ahead, the Licker lay there, motionless, as if in pain.
For the Lickers who lost their eyesight during the mutation and could only rely on their keen hearing to hunt, the high decibel sound from the flash bombs would damage their hearing and make them "blind".
Let them not know where to move.
"Attack!"
Captain James took the opportunity to shout loudly.
Naturally, people who temporarily lost their hearing couldn't hear anything.
But everyone is taking advantage of this fleeting chance!
The task force members who did not have bullets immediately threw military knives at the Lickers.
James quickly reloads the final clip, nearly shooting the gun from his shotgun.
Inaho unloads the unfinished magazine, replaces it with a full one, and shoots wildly at Licker's exposed head.
Ryota also used his last strength to lift the Glock 19 and fired all the bullets.
As the shot fell completely, Licker lay on the ground motionless.
Can't die anymore.
Seeing this scene, Inaho's dignified atmosphere relaxed slightly.
(Fortunately, some rifle magazines are pre-ordered, otherwise a gun alone might not be able to kill this monster.)
While rejoicing in his heart, he quickly summoned a light screen and scanned his eyes.
[Kill Lickers: 50]
"Hah? The other one died too?"
Inaho was a little surprised.
There are only 50 culture tanks in Restaurant B.
The data on the light screen indirectly proves that all Lickers are dead.
(It seems that only one licker entered the ventilation duct, and the others... might not have been killed right away, but the harsh environment after the explosion killed it slowly.)
Based on the available information, he quickly drew the highest possible conclusion.
Only then did he completely relax.
"Shiro-chan! Fast wake..."
Suddenly, Misaki's crying voice was heard.
Inaho looked at it.
Immediately, Ryota's fallen figure appeared in the field of vision.
This made the heart that he had just placed immediately lifted again.
