Chapter 135: Chapter 89 No Hero_2

"Alright, you all stay here, I’m going to see if they need any help."

"Hey, Ms. Na!"

Wei Na waved her hand, closed the bathroom door, grabbed the medical first aid kit by the side, and took the pistol she had procured through connections after the ’Hua incident’. She checked the ammo, loaded the gun, and with the first aid kit on her back, she quickly rushed out of the medical room.

Just then, a security team was passing by outside.

"Can I help with anything?"

"Dr. Wei Na, please go immediately to the security shelter! We’re on patrol. Blade Beasts are breaking through from the 49th floor upward! It’s said that the Lower City Cleansing Team is gone."

Wei Na asked, "Are the elevators still operational?"

"There should be, the central elevator should work!"

"Okay, thank you," Wei Na turned and ran towards the central elevator.

In her understanding, the military would soon need a large number of medical personnel. She could report to the military camp, take the elevator from the Thirteenth Floor to the Seventh and then transfer to the Sixth, where she could find the elevator that went directly to the surface level military camp.

However, Wei Na had just taken a few steps.

Wu, wu—

A long siren followed, and a synthesized female voice broadcast appeared throughout the fortress:

"Residents of the fortress, please take note, return to your residences immediately, lock your doors, and do not panic. We are dealing with a small group of Blade Beasts."

"Residents of the fortress, please take note, return to..."

"Please note, to prevent the Blade Beasts from spreading, the elevator shaft sectional barriers have been activated, and the elevators have been shut down."

"Please note, all fire gates are closing, do not proceed to the outer side of the fire gates, all residents must return to their residences immediately and lock their doors tight."

Was the situation already this bad?

Just when Wei Na was about to head back to the clinic to comfort the two new young colleagues, a loud shout suddenly came from the capillary path in the distance:

"Quick! Someone come quick! Who knows machinery! The No. 6 fire gate is jammed!"

Wei Na paused, then immediately turned and ran in that direction.

Several people were also running towards the No. 6 fire gate.

The main body of the fortress had been in existence for several decades, making the possibility of circuit aging very likely. Fire gates are devices used to seal off each level and have up to four ways to open them, which Wei Na had studied carefully in the fortress manual.

A doctor in this era would know a bit about maintaining medical machinery.

Wei Na soon encountered seven or eight men and women. Without exchanging many words, they all headed for the No. 6 fire gate.

A few minutes later, Wei Na arrived at the scene, out of breath.

The corridor leading to the fire gate was already occupied by seven or eight security team members. Half of the heavy valve gate had fallen and was jammed, unable to move, and a burst of electric sparks was emanating from a corner of the wall.

It was indeed due to aging circuits.

"I’ve got this! Intermediate Mechanic!"

A middle-aged man shouted, quickly charging toward the corner wall, deftly opening the hidden valve, revealing a waft of faint smoke.

There was a professional on the scene.

Everyone visibly relaxed.

Suddenly...

A buzzing of wings penetrated Wei Na’s ears.

Wei Na paused, and everyone instinctively looked toward the half-lowered fire gate. Wei Na leaned slightly to peer into the dark fire passage.

Black vertical pupils appeared on the white conjunctiva, meeting Wei Na’s gaze directly.

A slender Blade Beast, with six sharp blade limbs folded, vibrating two sets of crystalline thin wings, like an oversized wasp.

Wei Na drew her pistol and fired immediately!

The Blade Beast, hovering motionlessly, suddenly surged forward, directly squeezing through under the valve!

Bang! Bang bang!

"Open fire!"

Wei Na’s shout shortened the reaction time of the security team members.

Three or four people fired simultaneously, two fumbled with their safety catches in a panic. The Blade Beast’s raised blade limbs had already swept across.

The middle-aged man who had been fixing the circuits widened his eyes, as his upper body suddenly lost support. Before he could feel the pain, his body had already toppled downward.

"Ah—"

"Blade Beast!"

Screams, gunshots, and the buzzing of wings.

Wei Na emptied her pistol and turned to run. She had realized that the bullets from hand pistols and rifles could only slightly hinder the Blade Beast’s movement, but couldn’t penetrate the outer bone of the Mutated Blade Beast!

Two security team members screamed in agony. The Blade Beast’s gaze locked onto Wei Na, stepping on its wings to charge forward, its body unfolding completely in the narrow corridor.

"Doctor Wei, get out of the way!"

A somewhat familiar voice sounded.

Wei Na looked up to see a group of figures rushing towards her.

The man at the front, wearing a black helmet with a pair of mechanical prosthetic arms, was clutching a metal copper pipe over three meters long and yelled as he rushed past Wei Na.

Lan Yuzai? Good People Gang?

Don’t go...

The metal copper pipe was thrust at the Blade Beast’s chest!

Lan Yuzai gritted his teeth and roared, his body abruptly halting and sliding backward from the impact.

But behind him, seven or eight young men dressed in tracksuits rushed up and embraced the end of the copper pipe, barely holding back the Blade Beast!

The Blade Beast slowly tilted its head as if thinking, its vertical pupils expressing disdain.

Then, the white conjunctiva of its face retracted on its own, revealing terrifying oral appendages.

Rings of sharp teeth, like so many eyes, stared at Lan Yuzai and his underlings.

Ah—

A visible spiritual impact swept over them!

Lan Yuzai and the several people behind him screamed in unison, and Lan Yuzai, at the forefront, grunted with clenched teeth, his mechanical prosthetic arms tightly grasping the metal pipe as his muscles bulged!

Behind his helmet, blood traces appeared at the corners of his eyes and ears, and he let out a meaningless roar.

Two shadows rushed from behind.

It was Lin Xiong and Lin Yong, sent by Zhou Zhengde to escort Wei Na to the Thirteenth Floor shelter.

They reached Lan Yuzai, each seizing a couple of mini grenades, and while the Blade Beast was still recovering from releasing the shock wave and had not closed its mouth, they forcefully threw the grenades inside!

Boom!

Green blood splattered everywhere!

—These Blade Beasts, which had evolved wings, were not as robust as the Mutated Blade Beast Wang Jixuan had encountered in the corridor before, and even their defensive capabilities slightly inferior to those of the low-level Basic Blade Beasts, their main evolution being in mobility, offensiveness, and their own weight reduction.

The Blade Beast’s body slowly crashed to the ground.

Lan Yuzai knelt on the ground, clutching the metal pipe, his eyes wide with shock.

In front of him, Lin Xiong and Lin Yong were affected by the explosion; one had almost his entire back skin blown off, and the other had his thigh impaled by a Blade Beast’s external bone.

Valves! The fire hydrant valves!

Wei Na, holding back the urge to vomit and dragging her extremely weary body, charged towards the valves.

Could connecting the wires that the engineer uncle had grabbed earlier temporarily bypass the burnt-out pathways?

Hum, hum.

A dense flapping sound echoed by her ear, Wei Na trembled all over, her strength nearly spent, she gently touched the two wires together and saw a faint spark of electricity.

Blade Beasts hovered outside.

Not just one.

They were attracted by the corpses of their kind inside.

Wei Na pressed the two wires together; the valve trembled slightly, and below there were several sets of wires not yet connected.

Those Blade Beasts were about to break in!

"Ah, ah!" Wei Na kept shouting out of nervousness, almost bursting into tears.

Lan Yuzai, kneeling there, shook his head forcefully, his Adam’s apple trembling, and he looked down with trepidation to the faded pink talisman on his chest.

Lan Yuzai just managed to see three Mutated Blade Beasts eyeing him, fixated on his mechanical arms.

They seemed to be wary.

Mistaking his prosthetics for the same type as the Battle Girl’s mechanical arms?

Dr. Wei Na was standing right there.

Lan Yuzai shakily got to his feet, his gaze fiercely fixed on the Blade Beasts; he grabbed a bag of hand grenades from Lin Xiong’s waist, pulled out a mini grenade, pressed the button to arm it, then ran forward headlong in a diving charge.

The three Blade Beasts dodged backward, Lan Yuzai stood firm on the platform outside, leaped up, and pounced on the closest Blade Beast.

Inserting the armed mini-grenade back into the grenade bag, he abruptly spread his arms wide.

Schlick.

A blade limb pierced Lan Yuzai’s chest.

Lan Yuzai’s body shook several times, his hands violently grabbed the Blade Beast’s leg, pressing the grenade bag against the Blade Beast’s chest.

Scenes of somewhat unbearable images flashed before his eyes, along with over a dozen faces filled with timidity and a sense of powerlessness.

’Ah, no chance to mix with the big shot now.’

’Sorry, for being... a bit foolish before...’

Boom!

Wei Na was knocked flying by the surging flames, and the slightly trembling fire hydrant valve crashed down heavily.
