Laws Of The Other World Chapter 2

Chapter 2: It's…Coming…

There was nothing for him to worry about anymore.

Zhou Yu continued onwards. According to the information he had been provided, the stem cell cultivation center was ahead.

Zhou Yu was just about to take a step forward when his toes crunched down onto the gla.s.s shards of a test tube, making some noise. In the silence, the sound of it made one's soul tremble as if some hidden danger could be roused awake. Still, Zhou Yu remained calm.

There were a few of the researchers' corpses on the floor. The state of their deaths was awfully cruel. By how stiff the corpses were, Zhou Yu suspected that the researchers had died before they accepted the mission.

Zhou Yu raised his head and saw the security camera attached to the ceiling. By Juli Corp's remote monitoring abilities, they definitely knew what had happened. But they still hypocritically contacted the relevant departments about some request to rescue hostages, causing Zhou Yu's team members to pay the sacrifice.

Zhou Yu counted the dead bodies, it matched the number of stem cell cultivation researchers who were working there on that day.

The computer monitor was already shattered. The main processor was also a mess. Zhou Yu wasn't able to find out what they were researching.

Zhou Yu turned sideways and pushed open the door, it seemed like there was something leaning on the other side. He only heard a rustling sound before it fell to the floor.

When the side of a face showed through the crack of the door, Zhou Yu discovered that it was his youngest team member, Zhao Cheng. His mouth was gaping in shock and his eyes were wide open, and if he had seen something unbelievable before death. At that moment, Zhou Yu's heart rate sped up. He crouched down and used his fingers to feel Zhao Cheng's neck… there was no pulse.

Zhou Yu forcefully closed his eyes, since he didn't know what was on the other side of the door, he had to carefully move Zhao Cheng's corpse before pus.h.i.+ng it open.

It was another pa.s.sageway. If Zhou Yu had remembered correctly, this pa.s.sageway led to the core of the Research Center where animals used for research purposes were being raised.

Zhou Yu closed Zhao Cheng's eyes with his fingers. Then he saw that from the neck down, Zhao Cheng's body had been pierced through with numerous wounds, the blood flowing in rivers. Zhou Yu couldn't even imagine what had caused these fatal wounds. On the walls of the pa.s.sageway were traces of bullet holes, and ammunition sh.e.l.ls were scattered everywhere. Zhou Yu easily picked up Zhao Cheng's gun, he already knew that it would be empty of bullets.

Zhao Cheng had been in the middle of pulling out the dagger at his waist… but against his opponent, of what use was a dagger?

After seeing Zhao Cheng's miserable end, Zhou Yu could confirm that none of his people had survived, including vice team captain Chen Chong.

In the situation up until, even if it can be considered h.e.l.l, Zhou Yu still had to meet that guy.

He raised his gun and walked forwards in strides longer than before. There was less caution and more of his desire to see that unknown thing.

He stood in front of the breeding center and turned his body sideways to pull open the door.

In the split second his heart contracted, he thought something was about to rush out, but all was quiet.

Zhou Yu's emotional state settled down, he thought that he would be frightened and scared, after all, he had a ninety-nine percent chance of dying just as horrifically as Zhao Cheng, but death did not come. Just a few seconds ago, the silence had been torturous for him, but at this moment, Zhou Yu suddenly felt… like this was the door to the next part of his life.

He walked in and expected to find different kinds of animals locked in cages, but he found that he was wrong.

It was a large gla.s.s room, many plants Zhou Yu had never seen before were growing there. He kneeled down on one leg and pulled out a strand of withered gra.s.s by his foot. The leaves were a rhombus shape, with a striped pattern. It was as if it had sensed the temperature of Zhou Yu's fingers and dispersed like ashes.

Zhou Yu found that the plants in the gla.s.s room were already dried up as if they all died at the same time.

Other than these plants, Zhou Yu couldn't find anything alive or moving.

Something had smashed down the west side of the room, two Special Operations team members in bulletproof vests were lying on the floor.

Zhou Yu quickly walked up to them. Although he was mentally prepared, he still let out a gasp.

Their guns were also practically empty, they had more experience than Chao Cheng, and they were even partners of several years.

According to the time they lost contact with the command center, they died in the span of only a few seconds.

Zhou Yu looked up towards the shattered opening of the gla.s.s room, whatever had killed them left through this hole.

He tightly gripped the gun in his hands with his jaw clenched. Right now he only wanted to slaughter that guy!

He stepped over the broken pieces and went forwards. There were no lights ahead, and if he continued, then there would only be darkness.

He knew that the thing was waiting for him in the dark.

Chen Chong hadn't lost contact with him too long ago, he might still have the chance to find him alive!

Zhou Yu sped up, heading into the darkness. It seemed like he was being reckless, but all the parts of his body were being utilized.

The scents in his nostrils, his hearing, and feeling of his every footstep on the floor, even the friction between his body and the air.

Up until now, Zhou Yu possessed exceptional insight and reflexes. It was exactly these sharp senses of his that allowed him to brush past the G.o.d of Death more than once.

He didn't care at all about the noises he made while running, because he precisely wanted to draw that thing out.

He suddenly stopped, there was the almost inaudible sound of breathing.

Zhou Yu looked over, even in the darkness, he could faintly make out Chen Chong's silhouette. He was leaning against the wall, it looked like he was already on his last breath.

"Chen Chong!" Zhou Yu came to his side. Chen Chong used the last of his strength to push him away.

"I… Didn't I tell you not to come… Why didn't you listen…"

Zhou Yu didn't answer Chen Chong, he knew that if he and Chen Chong had switched places on the command vehicle, Chen Chong would have also recklessly came to save him.

It was too dark in here, Zhou Yu was unable to make out the state of Chen Chong's injury, but he could smell the thick tang of blood.

Zhou Yu was just about to carry Chen Chong when he realized that his entire arm was gone.

"It's…coming…"

Those were Chen Chong's last words to Zhou Yu.

Full of fear.

The sound of something crawling came from behind Zhou Yu. He turned on his powerful flashlight in an instant. In the split second he turned around, his entire world was overturned!

It was a monster with a human appearance, its muscles didn't have any skin covering it. As it was crawling, Zhou Yu's intuition told him that it was extremely strong.

Normal creatures under such a strong light will reflexively flinch, but this monster didn't have eyes!

Naturally, his hearing should be sensitive, if not, then how could all the trained Special Operations members have died such violent deaths?

Zhou Yu held his breath and stood still.

That monster opened its mouth, its saliva flowing down. It was disgusting, but it was nothing to Zhou Yu.

He carefully inspected the monster, its tail was long and slowly waving around in the air. From time to time it also revealed several sharp barbs. If Zhou Yu remembered correctly, Zhao Cheng had died from this tail. His other team members had emptied their cartridges without being able to shoot this guy, either it was faster than a bullet or… bullets weren't strong enough to kill it.

The monster drew closer step by step. Zhou Yu wasn't familiar with his movement patterns and didn't dare to act rashly.

It slowly came closer to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu's right hand was on the trigger, ready to shoot at any time. It drew closer by each step. Zhou Yu's left hand was holding the flashlight, without the slightest interest in turning it off or putting it down. Sweat dripped down from Zhou Yu's neck. He had to see this monster clearly! The sinister wrinkles on its face, the bulging muscles on its limbs, and the tail's radius of attack.

When its face was only a few centimeters away from Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu's mental state was stretched tauter than he had ever been since birth.

Not only did this monster not have eyes, it didn't even have a nose or ears!

Can it hear? Can it smell?

Zhou Yu started to doubt that.

It just happened that a piece of shattered gla.s.s fell onto Zhou Yu's sleeve. He caught it and then fiercely threw it outwards.

The gla.s.s shard fell somewhere nearby and made a tinkling sound.

However, the monster didn't react at all, not even its head turned.

Therefore…it couldn't hear!

If it couldn't hear, then just how did it kill so many people?

At that moment, the monster suddenly moved, so quickly that Zhou Yu didn't even realize that it had happened. Only his unconscious mind told him to flip to the side. Zhou Yu's powerful reactive abilities saved his life once again, or else he definitely would've been knocked into by that monster.

Behind him came a cras.h.i.+ng sound.

Zhou Yu's heart contracted at that moment.

He slowly turned around, to see the monster's claws pressed to the wall. Chen Chong, who had been on his last breath, had been killed by the monster.

Everything happened too quickly, Zhou Yu didn't have a chance to stop it at all. Chen Chong died just like that in front of him.

Zhou Yu's finger pressed down with more and more strength, he wanted to kill it.

He had to kill it!

"Show me…just how fast you are!"

Zhou Yu stood up, he held his gun in one hand and started to sprint. While running, he fired continuously. After being shot twice, the monster retreated a little, and then immediately started to run around the room, its tail las.h.i.+ng. It seemed to be trying to locate Zhou Yu.

Very quickly, the bullets were used up, and the monster's tail had brushed by the top of Zhou Yu's head. Zhou Yu fell sideways to the floor, he very quickly replaced the ammunition clip, stood up, and avoided the monster's tail sweeping along the floor.

Zhou Yu realized that bullets shot at the monster were automatically being rejected by its body. Although its wounds had traces of something like blood, they were already in the process of healing. In other words, its regenerative abilities were far beyond any living creature Zhou Yu knew of.

Zhou Yu clicked his tongue and looked at it coldly.

To take out the monster, he had to get closer to it. But first, the most important step was to get rid of its bothersome tail.
