death of hope

Chapter 422 "Corporate Warrior" (333) Mandatory Calm

The bathroom door creaked.

(Damn... something came in... Could it be the smell of a living person?) Corporal Comanche thought desperately,
At this moment, he was curled up on the toilet lid, with his elbows on his knees, his hands tightly grasping his hair, and his eyes staring at the burn marks on the door.

"Pa-ta... pa-ta..." The voice was getting closer.

Perhaps the monster had webbed walking feet like frogs, sounded wet and squishy, ​​and exuded a stench like rotting prawns.

Comanche's underwear was soaked in cold sweat, and he fantasized about the terrifying appearance of the unexpected guest, hoping that it would just wander around instead of discovering his tracks.

(Damn it... why are you wandering around in the toilet, get out of here... Monster, go to a crowded place to eat, you'd better eat that ugly captain, that guy is full of tendons.)
However, things went contrary to expectations, Comanche heard a cat-like growl of "purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" as if the monster deliberately made things difficult for him, and was already very close to the cubicle where he was hiding.

(...what are you afraid of... come to my side...)
Comanche tried to breathe lightly, but it was counterproductive, and he had to take a big breath because he was gradually suffocating, which instead attracted the attention of the uninvited guest.

"Gululu... Gululu... Pata..."

It was closer, so close, and stopped, the hungry guy was separated from him by a door.

(What the hell...I haven't lived enough yet!)

The Beretta M92 automatic pistol on the door panel did not make Comanche feel at ease. He knew that there were only three bullets in the magazine, which was not enough to tickle the genetically modified monster.

Half an hour ago, Comanche saw with his own eyes a well-equipped mercenary being disembowelled by a monster. He was so frightened that he left his teammates and began to disarm him.

The helmet that obstructed the line of sight was discarded first, then the rifle and spare magazines, and even the communicator, and fled into the bathroom in a panic. Now he regrets this decision.

Before the battle, the captain talked to him,
The Alpha Squad undertakes the task of attacking the tough ones. As a rookie, he has never experienced a real battle. I hope he will not be a hindrance. It is best to follow far behind.

These harsh words hammered the Comanche corporal's pride,
He had always been sneering at others, and the feeling of being despised was so uncomfortable, but soon, he realized that Lynch was not intentionally squeezing himself out, and those seemingly contemptuous sarcasms were just stating the facts.

When those genetically modified monsters poured out from all over the space station, gnawing on human flesh and blood, Comanche realized just what a terrifying hell he had entered.

(You can’t kill a monster with a small pistol... At least you can keep it to yourself... You can’t be disemboweled like everyone else and suffer...)
Comanche raised the muzzle of the gun to his chin, just as he was about to give himself a good time.

"Whoa..."

That was the sound of the urinal flushing itself.

The monster's attention was attracted, but it was only for a few seconds. Its claws scratched the door panel, and it must have sensed that there was someone inside.

"Boom!" Someone kicked the door into the bathroom, and then he heard the roar of the monster, the sound of automatic rifle shooting, and the crisp sound of bullet casings hitting the floor tiles.

"Kill the big one!"

"Quickly check the area and clear the threat! Don't leave hidden dangers!"

(This sounds like... Johnny the Mad Dog?)
"Boom!" A military boot kicked open the compartment door, and the tactical laser light mounted on the rifle dazzled the Comanche for a while.

"Found a male survivor!"

Comanche recognized him as a member of the Blackwater mercenary "Shrike" team, Sergeant Oleg. The other party stared at him in surprise, put down his gun and shouted behind him:
"Hey? Isn't this... your team's new goalkeeper?"

"Let me take a look! Ouch! It's really him!"

"Where did you go? We were playing disappear the whole time, so we thought you were dead!"

Lodayev frowned and said, "Hey! What are you doing squatting here, kid? Come out!"

Oleg stretched out his hand kindly: "Help him, hey, are you okay?"

"Look at his trembling legs." Shaft sneered disdainfully: "I'm scared to shit."

"What nonsense! I... I... I'm not afraid! I killed several monsters and hid here when I ran out of bullets."

Comanche defended stubbornly, the more he tried to hide his panic, the more embarrassed he became. Looking at the other party's reaction, it seemed that no one cared what he said.

Mad Dog Johnny whistled: "We saved people, so it's not in vain. Let's go, let's meet up with the killer bee team, and then go to the power room together."

"That's a good idea." Oleg looked at everyone in the Alpha team: "Do you have any suggestions?"

"Just listen to Brother Johnny."

Comanche felt a little strange why they didn't ask Captain Alpha for his opinion. At this moment, he noticed that Marcus Lynch was standing by and remained silent.

That disgusting ugly face maintained a calm expression like a poker face, which was so calm that it made people feel scared. He instantly understood that it was the effect of antidepressants and powerful tranquilizers, and there must be some reason Take a large dose.

"Corporal Comanche... I am relieved to see that you are safe and sound." Lynch talked to him in an extremely slow and peaceful tone: "If you can't persist in fighting, I will send you to a safe area."

Comanche didn't appreciate it at all, and cursed inwardly; (Damn, look down on me, don't you! Don't pretend to be kind, stupid, you look like an imbecile!)
He said coldly, "I can still fight, Captain."

"Now the space station is in chaos, you'd better follow us, don't fall behind."

"Um……"

Shaft taunted in a strange way: "Boss, don't force this coward, maybe he still wants to squat in the toilet for a while, and make a fuss."

"NM! Do you want to fight!" Comanche rolled up his sleeves.

"Come on! No matter IQ or physical ability, I'm going to blow you away!"

"Xiao Xia!" Wang Hongye stopped between the two of them: "Stop making trouble."

"Elder Sister, please judge, we saved this guy's life, but he is fine, with a stinking face, he must be beaten up!"

Comanche pulled out the dagger: "Come on, hacker, don't hide behind the woman, dare to single out?"

"Playing with a knife, right!" Shaft fiddled with the butterfly knife in a fancy way.

Wang Hongye felt like a kindergarten teacher, and cursed helplessly: "Stop making trouble, just don't show off your three-legged kung fu."

"Put away your knives." Lynch separated the two of them with his huge body, gently pushed Shaft away, and said softly to Comanche:
"You must have discovered it yourself, Corporal Comanche, with your strength, you simply cannot adapt to the fighting intensity of the Alpha team.

It's dangerous and pointless, I figured it out, when I get back, I'll bring this up with Major Ron and transfer you back to your original squad. "

In Comanche's ears, Lynch's patient persuasion hurt his self-esteem more than Shaft's cursing and ridiculing. Anyway, they had already broken up, so they simply broke the can and stopped saving face for the captain:

"Captain, your small circle is playing tricks by excluding dissidents, forming gangs to bully outsiders, right? OK, let's wait and see!"

Perhaps due to the effect of the powerful sedative, Lynch's flat expression did not change at all, it can be described as numb and sick:

"Let's get together and break up. There's no need to be so unhappy. They don't deliberately squeeze you out, they just don't like someone taking the place of an acquaintance."

"What are you pretending to be? I've seen your group photo. It turns out that the door-breaker is a beautiful blonde girl. What kind of strength can a girl have? She doesn't rely on betraying herself. I bet that she has an affair with everyone in the company. "

Marcus Lynch's expression suddenly changed: "You can scold me whatever you want, corporal, it doesn't matter what jokes you make, except for her, never violate my red line, don't force me..."

Before he finished speaking, the captain strode away without looking back, and the others followed one after another. Shaft stuck out his tongue at him and made a face, clearly scolding FKU.

Comanche didn't reply, but followed the team anxiously. Even he himself didn't understand why he was inexplicably afraid, and why humans could be more terrifying than monsters.

(Damn...what happened to that guy just now...didn't he take medicine, his eyes just now... really wanted to kill me...)
