The Death List Novel - Chapter 98
Chapter 98 Chillusom
Apart from the baby girl in Lisa’s arms, there were six adults in Qin Lun’s group. As the proponent of the proposal, Qin Lun gave up the right to vote and gave the decision to the remaining five people.
Among the five people, Jonathan and Hill were the first to oppose this proposal. Lu Kuang swayed and abstained. After hesitating for a while, Xiaodao finally chose to oppose it. In fact, this result was already doomed. It was not easy for ordinary people to abandon their past ethics at once, let alone Jonathan and the others, who had not yet been forced to a desperate situation.
The only thing that surprised Qin Lun was that Lisa had actually voted for it. However, Lisa was the only one who was the least willing to take the risk. For the sake of her newborn daughter, no matter what the mother did, it was not surprising.
“Doctor Qin, you don’t blame me for opposing this plan, do you?” Little Saber said in a somewhat uneasy voice.
Qin Lun indifferently glanced at the knife, and the gangster’s fierce expression carried a trace of shame. From the moment he took over the steering wheel, this gangster seemed to have an inexplicable sense of guilt towards him, which made Qin Lun curious.
“You’re overthinking it. Actually, I’m not willing to involve innocent people in our mission. I’m just giving everyone a choice. Didn’t you see that I also gave up voting?” Qin Lun smiled and said indifferently, “Let’s go. We’ll find the police car as soon as possible.”
Xiaodao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this and quickly walked forward. The two of them were no longer in the police station building. Instead, they circled the police station’s underground parking lot from the back of the hall. Little Knife had found a car key on the policeman’s corpse before. Now, he and Qin Lun were going to the parking lot to find the car. The others were going back to the lobby to check on the Illusory Demon’s movements at the police station’s entrance.
There weren’t many cars left in the police station parking lot, and they soon found the police car that belonged to the deceased. Luckily for them, the police car was an off-road vehicle with a lot of space in the back. After removing the rear seat shield, it could barely fit six people and a baby.
The knife pulled the police car out of the parking lot and met up with the other four people waiting at the entrance of the police station.
Paris is a large city divided into two by the Seine. The Arch of Triumph is located on the west side of the city and is also the westernmost end of the Champs-Elysees. Notre Dame is in the heart of the city, on the island of West Causeway on the Seine.
From the map, they were now situated between the Arc de Triomphe and Notre Dame de Paris. They were very close to the Arc de Triomphe, less than 1.5 kilometers away, and about 6 kilometers away from Notre Dame de Paris, forming an irregular triangle with the two.
“Father Hill, are we going to the Arch of Triumph or Notre Dame?”
Perhaps because he was the first to oppose Qin Lun’s suggestion, Jonathan was a little embarrassed to face Qin Lun for the time being, so he asked another veteran they had identified.
“Lu Kuang, what do you think?” Hill smiled and did not give his opinion.
For his own reasons, he pandered to the others. However, this did not mean that the shepherd wanted to change his ways and become a good gentleman, planning to save the world. The general policy he and Qin Lun had set would not change. This group of rookies were still their pawns.
“We’re closer to the Arch of Triumph, and that’s the first big map that Mingzhi Zuo Ma Jie encountered. Logically speaking, it’s the most appropriate place for us to go! But … this is only from the perspective of the game. We need to make a decision together!” Lu Kuang revealed an ugly smile.
If he could feel the difference between the game and reality because of the ferocity of the saber foot, then the shocking phenomenon of the Illusory Demon’s infectivity had truly shattered Lu Kuang’s confidence.
The tremendous pressure of survival forced him to wake up from his wonderful fantasy. Lyu Kuang finally realized that he was facing a life and death crisis. When he thought that he might be crushed to death by the Illusory Demon like a little bug, the young man’s entire body trembled and he couldn’t control himself.
He had already thrown away all the rewards he had earned for missions and exchanged for superpowers in Java. To be able to make this normally cowardly but kind young man abstain from voting on Qin Lun’s proposal to dehumanize him, it could be seen just how much pressure he was under.
“Then let’s go to the Arch of Triumph!” “It’s less than two hours since the catastrophe broke out. The Illusory Demons probably haven’t taken control of the city yet. Most of them are fighting the Paris armed forces,” Hill said firmly. “We have to find Smart Zombie during this period of time. Otherwise, we won’t be able to survive these seven days.”
Everyone remained silent, as if they had tacitly accepted Hill’s arrangements. Although they were just ordinary people, they didn’t lack judgment. From the moment the saber foot appeared, they had already discovered that they had made the wrong choice from the very beginning.
They should reach a compromise with Matthew and the others and exchange half of their mission rewards for their lives! After rejecting, he could already be considered a corpse. Whether he could survive or not depended entirely on luck.
Not only did these knives not fear death, they also moved like the wind. They could jump into a high-speed Mercedes-Benz car and had enough power to pierce through the solid Mercedes-Benz hood with a samurai knife. Although they still didn’t know their intelligence, just the combat strength displayed by their sabers and feet was not something they could deal with.
The Light Saber Foot was only the lowest-grade Illusory Demon. What if it was another more powerful Illusory Demon? Originally, they could have chosen an advantageous terrain to slowly lure scattered Illusory Demons into within seven days, and then gather everyone’s strength to break through it one by one.
However, the highly infectious nature of the Illusory Demons made this plan no longer feasible. Even if only half of the more than 10 million Paris citizens turned into illusions, they would no longer have a place to stand. Not to mention hiding for seven days, even seven hours wouldn’t be enough to hide.
If he couldn’t fight or hide, he could only borrow the opportunity. At this stage, following the Paris police had a high chance of killing some illusions and completing the first mission. However, the place where the Paris police were located was definitely the focus of the Illusory Demon’s siege. Not only would there be a large number of Illusory Demons of all levels, but those floating Illusory Demon Warships would also participate in the battle. This was the stupidest choice.
Since the Paris police were unable to help and could not afford to delay, they could only rely on a few protagonists from the Ghost Race camp.
“Did you guys feel anything?” The driver of the knife suddenly frowned and said.
Hearing this, the crowd, who were like frightened birds, shivered. Putting aside their own thoughts and concentrating their attention, they immediately heard a dull vibration coming from ahead. Within this strange vibration, there seemed to be mixed cries from French.
Just as the police car passed a corner, Xiaodao turned the steering wheel vigilantly. A beautiful drift of the police car crossed over. After everyone in the car stabilized their bodies, they looked towards the wide street.
In front of the street, a group of Paris citizens dressed in different clothes screamed in horror as they ran over. Behind them, a colossus was chasing after them.
The Illusory Demon was more than ten meters tall. Its upper body was humanoid, wearing armor and an iron helmet. His lower body had four legs and his feet were like the hooves of a horse. He squatted in the middle of the street, almost stuffing the six to seven meter wide street with water. It was holding a long hammer in its hand, the head of which was as big as a car, and the triangular spikes on it were stained with human flesh and blood.
“This is … Chillusom?!” As the only person who was familiar with the Illusory Demon species, Lyu Kuang’s eyes almost popped out, his head covered in cold sweat as he shouted, “How is this possible? How could there be such a chillesome body …”
Just as everyone was shocked, Chillusom, who was more than a hundred meters ahead, also made a new move. With a swing of its hammer, it swept towards the Paris townsfolk in front of it. Perhaps he hadn’t noticed the obstacles on both sides of the street. This hammer hadn’t hit anyone directly, only a red Ferrari on the roadside.
“Bang!” A deafening explosion rang out. The red Ferrari flew into the air like a golf ball that had been sent flying. A red bolt of lightning flashed through the air. The crowd in front of him was instantly emptied out, and in a flash, the remnants of his limbs flew everywhere.
A certain unlucky man who was scratched by the Ferrari base fell down after dancing in the middle of the street. His upper body, which had started from his chest, had disappeared. Blood sprayed out of his broken chest like a fountain.
However, he was not the most unlucky one. The most unlucky one was a French woman. She clung to the Ferrari pedestal and was smashed into a roadside billboard with the sports car. His entire body turned into a ball of minced meat. Half of it was stuck to the base of the sports car, while the other half was painted with broken billboards, just like an abstract painting.
Lisa and Lyu Kuang grabbed the car window and retched.
“Turn around, we are no match for him!” Jonathan patted Xiaodao’s back with a pale face.
“How could there be such a thing!” The knife looked at the Ferrari that had turned into scrap metal with fear, and its hands that were supporting the steering wheel trembled uncontrollably.
A few seconds later, like a frightened rabbit, the police car rumbled and abruptly turned around, ignoring the cries of the Paris citizens behind it.
The police car turned two blocks in a row, and the newbies in the car came to their senses from their fears.
“Lyu Kuang, what level did that Chillusorm belong to among the Illusory Demons just now?” Jonathan’s chest rose and fell, panting heavily, “Is it the Illusory Demon’s boss?”
“No, in the game, Chillusom is only one level lighter than Saber Foot, not even a little leader!” Lu Kuang revealed an ugly smile that was even worse than crying and muttered, “However, its size shouldn’t be this big. Other than having four legs, it’s similar to a human’s size in the game!”
“We will die! We will all die!” ‘”My poor Amy, mother has let you down!” Lisa’s heart finally collapsed. She hugged her daughter tightly and sobbed, “My poor Amy, mother has let you down!”
“Shut up, Lisa!” Jonathan blushed, shook the young woman’s shoulders and shouted, “We’ll all be fine, I promise!”
“We’re here. Look ahead!” Suddenly, Little Saber pointed at the front in shock and shouted, “Arch of Triumph, is that thing the Arch of Triumph?”
