From Zero to Hero in the Doomsday - Chapter 887
Chapter 887 Gambling On Death
“Welcome to the casino of death. The stakes are your lives …”
Suddenly, a gloating voice came from the front. Chen Guangda walked forward in astonishment and saw four people sitting in the corner on the right. Although they were all wearing US military uniforms but all of them had Asian faces, Chen Guangda stared at the man in the middle and shouted in shock, “You Kui?”
“We meet again, Chen Guangda …”
The other party held a cigarette in his mouth and smiled miserably. This fellow was the leader of the Ghost-Faced Warrior, You Kui. He was a fast-saber Warrior who won the championship in the Iron Cage Wrestle. However, his incomparably sharp Warrior Saber had already been broken. The brother beside him was already dead. It was unknown who had the large amount of blood on his body.
“You guys are trapped here, aren’t you?”
Chen Guangda narrowed his eyes and stared at them. He also knew the guy sitting beside You Kui. He was the assassin who ambushed him in Slave City, Gu Lei, and was also one of You Kui’s most loyal subordinates.
“It’s not us, it’s all of us …”
You Kui smiled carelessly, then pointed at the large number of laser letters in front of him and said, “If you step on these letters wrong once, the typist will be shot dead on the spot. We have tried many times, and now only a few of us are dead. So, unless you know the password here, we can only be trapped here!”
“Damn it! Who designed this damn thing …”
Chen Guangda scanned his surroundings with a frosty expression. The electronic key was obviously no longer effective. This thing was probably to prevent the key from being stolen. The door right in front of them should be the exit, but the laser letter directly blocked the door, just like a virtual key.
These letters were arranged very much like a game of “stepping on a grid.” Each of them was just enough to accommodate both feet. The 26 letters formed a square with five horizontal, five vertical, and five vertical letters. There was also an extra B hanging at the bottom. It was obviously a trick that was intentionally tempting to step on. It was estimated that the door would automatically open as long as one stepped on the right one.
“My friendship reminds you that the first letter is G, but the second letter is unknown …”
You Kui smiled as he flicked the cigarette butt away, but his eyes turned to Colleen. Colleen shook her head with a pale face, “My father is not the commander here, and he has never told me the password. I don’t have a clue about the G word. I can only think of God bless America!”
“No! We’ve already tried it. The second time we step on an O, we’ll be killed …”
You Kui shook his head without hesitation. Colleen immediately sighed helplessly. Chen Guangda had no choice but to go forward and knock around with the poison hook gun. However, You Kui shook his head and said, “Don’t worry, this is already the center of the mountain. Even if you drive a tank, you won’t be able to rush out. I think we should die early and surpass the dead!”
“Do you want to die now? Then why are you still alive …”
Chen Guangda looked at him mockingly, but You Kui said with disappointment, “I thought the American troops outside would come in to save us, but when I saw you come in, I despaired. You should have killed everyone outside, right?”
“En! Not a single one is left …”
Chen Guangda nodded and squatted in front of him. He directly took out a cigarette and handed it to him. “In any case, even if you die, you won’t be in such a hurry for a while. Why don’t you tell me what happened to your Ghost-Faced Warriors? And what’s the relationship between Li Niya and you?”
“Did Li Niya rape you? Isn’t it very satisfying …”
You Kui sneered mockingly and immediately blushed at Chen Guangda’s words. However, You Kui lit up his cigarette and said, “We were actually used by Wood. At first, we thought he was really helping us. Who knew that he just wanted to help us eradicate his dissidents and help him do some shameful things?”
“Oh? Do you have anything on him?”
Chen Guangda frowned slightly, but You Kui said, “You see, I am a mutant. I have several brothers who are like this. We were tricked by Old Wood and took the initiative to inject the mutant liquid, so we have to inject the stabilizer every half a month. Otherwise, we will go crazy and become a monster that eats people!”
“It should be more than that …”
Chen Guangda looked at him expressionlessly. You Kui indeed nodded and said, “Of course! If it was just us, we would have perished with Wood long ago, but that old dog also captured my brothers’ families. He promised that as long as we help him unify the entire Republic of Korea, he would release those people and give us a gathering place that only belongs to us!”
“Hmph ~ You should believe this nonsense. Wood is an insatiable vampire …”
Chen Guangda coldly snorted in disdain, but You Kui spread out his hands and said, “If you don’t believe me, what can I do? However, I have my own plans. I trained the people of Li Niya, and I personally brought people here to get a nuclear submarine to negotiate with the old dog. We definitely can’t be his lackeys for the rest of our lives!”
“Hmph ~ I guessed that Li Niya was the one you arranged for outside, but why didn’t you let her catch me …”
Chen Guangda looked at him curiously. ‘”You Kui is actually my ex-girlfriend, but that was before the apocalypse. I broke up with her because I fell in love with a Korean girl. She chased after me to Korea to question me face to face. Who knew that after the apocalypse she would run into my people?”
“Holy shit! You …”
Chen Guangda looked at him with almost dumbfounded eyes, but You Kui shook his head indifferently. “I don’t care about this anymore. We mutants don’t have the ability to do that. However, Li Niya still can’t let go. Not only is she secretly opposing me, she is also trying to take revenge on me by playing with men. Fortunately, she listens to me for not being willful in important matters!”
“Ai ~ You guys are really natural enemies …”
Chen Guangda didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he stood up. He didn’t expect that not only did he sleep with his ex-girlfriend, he had also become a tool for revenge. However, after looking around, he shouted, “We can’t really wait to die here. We still have to think of a way to get out of here!”
“How can we think of a way? We’ve already lost so many people …”
You Kui shook his head weakly, but Chen Guangda continued, “Well, let’s each draw a person to test the password. The order will be determined by drawing lots. What do you think until we run out of people here? Anyway, it’s a dead end. It’s better to fight it out!”
“Where did you get the Three Directions …”
You Kui glanced at the crowd in puzzlement. However, Chen Guangda turned around and looked at the two Korean sticks. Then, he took out three cigarettes and wrote three numbers on them. After changing them a few times, he held onto the three cigarettes and said, “Come on, Old Kim, on behalf of the soldiers of the Republic of Korea, smoke one. Whoever smokes one will be the first!”
“Let … let them draw first …”
Old Jin pointed at You Kui and the others trembling. His face was already pale, but You Kui did not hesitate to jump up and smoke a cigarette. He lit up a cigarette number two and smiled, “Stop whining. The reason you guys got bullied by the Yankees until now is because you guys don’t have the guts!”
“You don’t have the guts …”
After Old Jin glared at him angrily, he immediately pulled a cigarette from Chen Guangda’s hand. Who would have thought that the number would almost go soft on the ground when he saw it? Then, he said to Xiao Jin with a face full of sorrow, “What … What should we do? It’s a cigarette number one. Who’s going to fight?”
“Didn’t we have explosives? Let’s try blowing the door open …”
Little Jin suddenly took off his coat and hurriedly removed the explosives tied to his body. Old Jin’s eyes lit up and he quickly untied them. However, You Kui shook his head and said, “Don’t act recklessly if you don’t want to die. The computer that controls the cannon is very intelligent. It will automatically determine whether you’re attacking or not. We just threw the grenade and killed six brothers!”
“This …”
The two of them raised their explosives and were dumbfounded. However, when they looked at the ground at the gate, they found that there was indeed a large piece of explosive traces left behind. However, a piece of concrete had been blown up on the ground. The sturdy iron door did not even have anything to do with it. This kind of home-made explosives on their bodies was probably quite choking.
“Let me go! You still have a wife and children, I have nothing to worry about …”
Xiao Jin suddenly grabbed the cigarette with a fierce expression. After lighting it, he took a deep breath and strode to the laser letter. Then, he said loudly, “Today, I will show you what the iron-blooded soldier of the Republic of Korea is. None of us Koreans are cowards!”
“Hey! Wait a moment …”
You Kui hurriedly shouted. Unexpectedly, Xiao Jin stepped out like a fool and stood firmly on the letter G. You Kui quickly shouted, “Don’t worry, listen to me. We’ve stepped on most of the letters. You can try the four letters ERBF. Only the four letters we haven’t tried yet!”
“ERBF …”
Xiao Jin looked at the letters beside him hesitantly. At this moment, cold sweat oozed out from his forehead. His knuckles began to turn white from clenching his fists. However, Colleen said loudly, “Don’t keep thinking about words. Perhaps the password isn’t a word at all. It’s very likely the name of an item, or its abbreviation!”
“GBU! By the way, it must be a GBU missile, used on a nuclear submarine …”
Xiao Jin suddenly heavily punched his fists. He suddenly took a step back and stepped on the letter B. Everyone instinctively shrank their heads and didn’t dare to open their eyes to see his tragic situation. However, the machine gun on top didn’t react at all. Xiao Jin immediately cheered excitedly, “Haha ~ I knew it was GBU, my motherland that raised me so great!”
“Good job! You guys aren’t cowards …”
Chen Guangda also shouted excitedly. This time, even You Kui and the others were pleasantly surprised. They all clenched their fists tightly to cheer for him. After Xiao Jin rubbed his hands hard, he stepped onto the letter “U”. Seeing that the machine gun was still not responding, he shouted excitedly again, as if he was going crazy after a calamity.
“All of them …”
Who knew! The gun on the right suddenly spun. A bullet instantly tore him into pieces. A large amount of blood splashed all over everyone’s faces. However, everyone’s mouths remained open for a long time before they could react. After a long time, Chen Guangda wiped the blood off his face and sighed, “The next letter is not U, everyone, hurry up and think about what it will be!”
“Sigh ~”
Everyone heavily sighed and squatted on the ground dejectedly without saying a word for a long time. In fact, compared to staying here and starving to death, it would take a lot of courage to stand up and probe the password.
