Chapter 209: Blind

There was still continuous gunfire all over the outpost .
Yan Biao's face was pale and covered with beads of sweat . He took a look at his blood-soaked pants and winced at the pain . The protruding veins on his face twitched with every movement he made, but his two eyes were still scanning the surroundings like radar for any sign of activity .
Yan Biao used his comms device to ask those who had stayed behind in the command post, "Command post, how did the base reply?" His chest was heaving violently, and his words had some urgency to them .
"Base says that reinforcements are on the way . Captain, you should get some treatment first . With your current condition . . . "
A few other voices came through the comms device .
"Captain, you are hurt?!"
"Captain, don't delay treatment . Base reinforcements are en route, we just have to hold them off a little longer . "
The comms channel they were using was in multi-user mode .
"Hold your own positions! Do not get distracted! I know my own condition best!" Yan Biao wiped away the droplets of sweat that had almost reached his eye . His sharp gaze was focused on the ruins in front, trying to detect where the two terrorists had concealed themselves .
These two were just too crafty . Yan Biao did not dare to get careless . Although his perception was not as strong as a cemetery guard's, he could rely on his own experiences and intuition to deduce a few things . The two hiding themselves were surely the leading members in this attack . Even if they were not leading the operation, they were still crucial personnel and could not be allowed to get any closer to the outpost!
But those two had really sharp senses, and every time, they managed to slip away just as the snipers were about to fire . Because of this, Yan Biao was even more determined to shoot these two terrorists dead .
If he were to be brought to a safe place for treatment, surely manpower would be needed to transport him over, and there would be others required to cover him . That would make it more difficult to kill these two . If he were to receive medical treatment, he had to get rid of these two terrorist first! He could not rest easy till they were dead!
At this moment, through his earpiece, he heard a message from the command post .
"Captain, the surveillance system shows some beasts headed your way!"
Yan Biao's heart dropped . He suspected that the two hidden terrorists ahead had used some sort of method to attract over more of these beasts to increase their fire power . This way, it would be more difficult to kill off the two terrorists .
"How many?" Yan Biao asked .
"Coming from your right . There are seven . . . six . . . five . . . four . . . "
Hearing the voice on the comms channel, Yan Biao's face stiffened . The veins on his face were protruding even more than before . Yan Biao bellowed, "Are you f*cking counting down!?" This wasn't the time!
"I'm . . . I'm not, captain . I'm really giving a serious report . There were really seven on your right headed over, but the numbers are dropping, there are still two . . . one . . . no more . The right side is clear . "
Yan Biao violently exhaled .
How long had it been since this exchange of words? Seven beasts, completely wiped out!
When had their outpost team had such a godly marksman?
"Who did it?" Yan Biao asked .
"No idea . "
"You didn't see it? Are none of the surveillance cameras working?"
"They are working, but all I saw in the footage was the beasts falling one after another . I couldn't tell who shot them . However, it doesn't seem like it's someone from our outpost team . The sound of the gunfire was different—not the gun model we use at the outpost . The sounds it made seemed like they were from an even older model . "
Hearing this, Yan Biao was even more skeptical .
Could the person be in cahoots with the attackers? But if he were from that side, why had he shot those beasts?
Had reinforcements arrived?
That seemed unlikely .
If people from the base were here, it wouldn't only be one .
Who the h*ll was it?
"Get to the bottom of this!" Yan Biao ordered .
Even without Yan Biao's instructions, people in the command post were searching seriously . The sharp sensors of the detection system could capture the activity of any living beasts . The people in the command post stiffened up as they watched the bright spots displayed by the surveillance system change . Hurriedly, they exclaimed, "Riode! The person is headed over to you! It's unclear whether he is friend or foe!"
The line "unclear whether he is friend or foe" astonished Riode . Generally, they would always assume worst-case scenario . But now, "whether friend or foe" meant that in the current circumstances, the other party's actions were beneficial to him .
At the moment, Riode was leading men to clear out terrorists and those beasts that had entered the outpost . Hearing this message, he replied, "Which side . . . Never mind, I already hear gunfire . "
The passageway's surveillance camera was damaged, and those in the command post had no way of watching the situation, but through the detection system, they were able to see the bright spots of life forms on the map . Blue dots were humans, and red ones were beasts .
Riode's team consisted of five people—five blue dots . In the middle of this long passageway, there were six red dots, and they were moving quickly in Riode's direction . There was another blue dot at the other end of the passageway who was moving at an even higher speed and was catching up to those red dots . And during this process, the red dots were decreasing .
As an eyewitness to this scene, Riode's thoughts overwhelmed him .
Flapping sounds as the six beasts ran at high speeds were accompanied by low growls and howls that flooded the passageway . However, every time a shot rang out, a beast fell .
Riode did not let his men fire . They were only to be on alert as they watched the person heading over eliminate the beasts .
Whenever they encountered these beasts, they would open fire from a distance . They would absolutely avoid engaging them in close combat, as they did not understand these beasts and could only be passive . Aim at the head? That was easier said than done . When it came to reality, the difficulty was much higher . In the last hour, they had experienced it for themselves .
But now, apparently every beast was being killed in one shot . Not considering marksmanship, Riode swore he had never ever seen such a crazy person before .
That's right, from what Riode saw, this was a crazy person!
Not only was it one shot one kill, after the person had caught up to the beasts with his extremely quick speed, he did not slow down at all, instead fearlessly continuing to rush forward .
Riode scrunched his eyebrows together . Close-quarters combat?
When the steel rod struck the beast's taut, rock-like muscles, it created a thumping sound . The thumping sound had not yet dissipated when the second strike accurately struck the beast in its neck like a violent gale . A torrential barrage of attacks created an accompaniment of bones cracking and flesh being slapped .
Riode's furrowed expression turned to one of astonishment .
