Cheat Awakening-Chapter 712 - . Missing

"That thing is approaching us at a speed of 80 kilometres per hour. It will catch up with us in at most one minute."

"Is that true? Can a zombie run so fast?" Ache asked, dumbfounded. His impression of zombies wasn't different from that of turtles, especially regarding their agility. Except for some special cases, most zombies were always very slow.

"I think that it is not a zombie, but a new monster." Myne looked back at the flickering shadow on the tall building in the distance. Although he could not see its appearance, the huge question mark that had now turned into a bloody red exclamation mark above its head was very dazzling.

The monster was so powerful that it jumped from the tall building and landed heavily on the ground.

With a bang, everyone's scalp tingled. This time, they really heard it.

Ache couldn't help but look back and screamed, "F*ck!"

Under the moonlight, a skinless red monster could be seen. It was tall and obviously larger than the car next to it. It was covered with muscles with visible blood vessels, and its face looked like a composite of the ten ugliest people in the world, each feature a grotesque selection pieced together. Overall, it was hideously ugly.

Its tail was even more sturdy and powerful, and it swept a car away with a single swipe!

Its pupils were slightly green, and it let out a low roar, then crawled on the ground on all fours, rose, and rushed over at an even faster speed!

"F*ck, here it comes!"

Everyone was instantly terrified, and Mr. Red's face also changed. Although he was powerful, even an idiot could see that he was no match for this newcomer.

Everyone ignored the zombies around them and ran wildly in panic.

"During the day, I thought there were only ordinary zombies! I thought the difficulty of this dungeon wasn't very high, but it turned out that the real game begins at night!"

"Stop talking nonsense, run!"

Everyone dared not look back at all. Listening to the monster's roar getting closer and closer behind them, and all kinds of objects smashed and thrown aside by it as if they were made of paper, they were all scared to death. The oppression emanating from the monster was too strong.

"I see the tower!" Magmascorch, a true veteran when it came to fleeing and running ahead of everyone, suddenly shouted hurriedly.

On a flat ground stood a tower with about 20 floors. All the windows on the ground floor were completely sealed with steel plates, leaving only a front entrance.

The entrance passage was small but enough for humans to pass through easily, and two large lights emitting ultraviolet light were placed on it.

"Go in quickly!"

Mr. Red suddenly stopped and threw his fire axe, which stabbed the monster's head fiercely, a direct headshot. His accuracy was mind-blowing, but sadly, the monster was so terrifying that this injury posed no threat at all. It casually stretched out its claws, pulled the axe from its forehead, and threw it aside.

When its greenish blood flowed out, it corroded a hole in the ground like strong sulfuric acid!

"Damn, even its blood is so terrifying! How the hell can we possibly fight something like that? This is madness!" Mr. Red cursed angrily.

However, while the players were cowardly fleeing, perhaps Mr. Red's hit irritated the monster. It became even angrier, roaring, and suddenly jumped more than ten meters, flying over them like a missile!

At this critical moment, everyone's heartbeat beat two hundred times a minute, and they rushed directly into the passage of the tower! Their lives hung by a thread; everyone knew that if they were caught by the monster, the outcome was self-evident: they would be eaten alive.

The monster obviously has no intention of stopping just because they enter the tower. It also wanted to follow them in, but the moment it stepped into the range of the purple light, the ultraviolet rays around the entrance were like lasers, instantly burning its body. Huge amounts of white steam and a disgusting smell of burning meat began to release from its flesh.

The monster felt pain, tried to block the ultraviolet rays with its claws, and retreated!

"Huhu..." Everyone was panting and frightened, but seeing that the monster stopped, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Mr. Red, while panting, looked at the high-tech devices and spoke with an understanding look, "Sure enough, it seems this ultraviolet light is the monster's weakness. It can't get in here, otherwise, we would be wiped out. The game can't have such an obvious bug; even if we were to fight this monster, it would be at the end, after we are fully equipped."

"This is too scary. Do we have to fight such a monster?"

"What kind of game is this? We're just newbies! Give us some slimes or goblins, not these creepy monsters!"

Ache and Achoo nearly burst into tears. Their physical strength had plummeted to an extremely low level. Realising they were in a safe zone, they immediately lay down on the ground, and it took them several breaths to recover.

Although Magmascorch felt offended that these two cat-like bastards wanted to use his people for fun just because they were weak, he reminded himself that he had to work with them. He took a deep breath, pulled up the hood of his robe, and ignored them. He turned his head toward the monsters outside the entrance, who were staring at them with pure hatred.

"Maybe," Magmascorch panted, also out of breath. His eyes were slightly stern, and he was a little afraid of these monsters. However, with his current pitiful strength, there was nothing he could do. His super high resistance to fire was useless in this situation.

"Wait."

The only girl on the team, who had always faded into the background but wanted to draw attention so everyone would notice her, suddenly spoke up. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked around seriously.

"Didn't you notice that one person is missing?"

There were only five people who had run into this passage.

Everyone looked at each other and fell silent for a moment.

"That pervert Glitcher didn't come in?" Achoo blurted out subconsciously, revealing his inner thoughts about Myne. Clearly, Myne had successfully left a lasting impression on their minds.

"Weren't we all running together? Why isn't Brother Glitcher here?" Magmascorch's expression froze.

Although he didn't want to have too much contact with Myne, a psychopath, it would be a lie to say that among all the people present, he trusted him the most. The other party was obviously a straightforward person and didn't engage in scheming behind others' backs.

Also, compared to the rest of the team, Myne was more reliable and gave the feeling that nothing could be hidden from him. Following him, Magmascorch felt he had a better chance of clearing the dungeon.

"Since the monster was following us the entire time without stopping, making it impossible for it to catch anyone, but Glitcher still isn't here, then there's only one possibility."

They looked outside the passage with unpleasant expressions and, at the same time, heard another monster roaring from afar.

Previously, everyone had been frightened by the monster and had run crazily. Everyone wished they had two more legs and could run faster, at least faster than the person ahead of them. Who would have had time to pay attention to others and see if everyone was together or not?

It was already a good thing that, because of the system's prohibition against killing teammates, nobody had bad intentions. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been impossible for someone to use others as scapegoats to stop the monster and earn enough time to enter the tower.

"What should we do?" Achoo asked casually, not because he cared about Myne, but just out of curiosity.

"Can he still come in?" The Shiny Star asked worriedly. She didn't want to see the only other human besides her die so easily.

To her, compared to the others, if she had to use her body to get protection in the end, she would be more willing to get it from Myne rather than those weirdos from other races. God knows if she had sex with them and got some unknown disease. After all, it's normal for a harmless-looking illness in one race to be super deadly to others.

"The monster is still outside, and there seems to be more than one in the city. I'm afraid... the chance of survival isn't great," Mr. Red shook his head with a sigh. Because Myne had shown great detective and combat ability until now and looked very reliable, he had a good impression of him. But alas, the other party can't live long.

Everyone's heart sank. The monster was so terrifying that it was a miracle for a single player to spend the night outside the tower and see the next sunrise.

Magmascorch couldn't help but say, "Let's try to save him?"

"Roar!"

Suddenly, several roars similar to the monster waiting for them outside the tower sounded in the distance, and it seemed like there was an entire group of those monsters.

Hearing the noise coming from the other side of the street, everyone couldn't help but step back a few paces, and sweat streamed down their foreheads.

"Forget it, there's no way to save him," Mr. Red said calmly, his four eyes closing as he shrugged and leaned against the wall. "This monster is guarding outside and doesn't seem to be in the mood to leave anytime soon. And you heard that there is more than one such monster roaming outside. Going out now will only lead to death."

"If he is smart, he might have hidden somewhere, but I advise you not to have too high hopes."

Mr. Red looked outside. "In such a deadly night, I don't know how he can survive. This dungeon is more dangerous than I thought."

"Don't be discouraged. Now that one person is missing, we must work together better," Achoo tried to cheer everyone up. He pointed to the tower. "Now we'd better go in and take a look and understand the situation."

Everyone nodded. This was the only way for now.
