Gun Kai

Chapter 38 Cage Two

Li Cheng颐 listened carefully, while also taking out his phone to search for relevant qualifications, methods, and channels.

"In Yi State, a total of two types of special flying instruments are produced, as well as three standard flying instruments for sea, land, and air. Of course, you can only purchase them after obtaining qualifications from the brainwave calculation center. I don't know the specific details of how to buy them. Perhaps you can ask the boss," Song Ran replied.

"The boss is still busy investigating Aisi Real Estate, so I'll ask him later." Seeing that he couldn't squeeze anything more out of this side, Li Cheng颐 continued his previous rhythm of combat training.

What Professor Song Ran taught was a popular combat technique called Cross Track Combat. The key is body stability, constantly moving in a cross-shaped trajectory to achieve the purpose of dodging gunfire in a small area.

While dodging, it also allows for rapid approach to the gunman for close combat.

After a period of training, the sky gradually darkened, and it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Cheng颐 asked Song Ran to go eat spicy hot pot at a nearby restaurant, but failed to get her to agree, so he simply went downstairs himself, intending to find a rice noodle shop in the New Century Building to solve his meal.

Soon, he found a Wuxi Rice Noodle shop among a row of shops at the edge of the building.

In the cold and desolate rice noodle shop, only two tables out of more than a dozen were occupied.

Li Cheng颐 went inside and found a table in the corner to sit down, then scanned the QR code with his phone to order.

He glanced at the pick-up window at the deepest part of the store. Through the pick-up window, he could see the chef inside chatting with someone on his phone, with a hint of ambiguous smile on his face.

Li Cheng颐 felt somewhat inexplicable in his heart.

He had only just arrived in this world, this era, and before he had time to experience the lives of ordinary people here, he had been dragged into a desperate struggle by the blind spot.

Sitting in his seat, having ordered his meal, he turned his face to look at the reflection on the silver tiles on the wall to his side.

The tiles were like mirrors, clean and new, reflecting his face at this moment.

It was a tired, exhausted, and somewhat颓废 young man in his twenties.

The figure wrapped in a black t-shirt looked somewhat sturdy, healthier than most people.

The black short hair, slightly longer than a buzz cut, also looked capable and concise.

'At least I look much better than before,' he thought to himself, self-安慰.

莫名地, he began to think about his previous life. In his previous life, he would often go out for supper alone at night.

Sometimes sitting alone in a restaurant, if he had nothing else to do, he could sit until the restaurant closed.

Perhaps he was too tired from training, or perhaps his nerves had been tense for this period of time, Li Cheng颐 thought, unconsciously becoming lost in thought.

Time passed little by little.

He was still sitting in his seat, waiting for his ordered rice noodles to be served.

'Why is it taking so long?' He vaguely felt that it had been a long time.

But there was still no movement from the pick-up window behind him.

Li Cheng颐 frowned and turned his head. He was facing away from the pick-up window, so he had to turn his head to see the situation there.

But as soon as he turned his head, his expression froze.

The restaurant was empty.

There was no one at the white-faced, black-legged tables and chairs.

The two tables of people who had been there just now had left at some unknown time.

The white pick-up window was also empty, and he could only see a large, uncovered pot with a lot of soup for cooking rice noodles inside.

The soup ladle was hanging on the side of the pot, but the chef was gone.

Li Cheng颐 felt that something was wrong and slowly pushed open the chair and stood up.

He looked around.

The small rice noodle shop with a dozen or so tables and chairs was now exuding an unspeakable and eerie quiet.

The rotating fan hanging on the wall was still spinning, and the small white lights on the ceiling were still clear and bright.

The menu board above the pick-up window was still lit with white light.

Li Cheng颐 walked to the pick-up window and peered inside through the semi-circular opening.

Inside was the kitchen, also empty, with no one there.

Cutting boards and knives were casually placed on the counter, as if someone had been using them just a second ago.

A bucket of black cooking oil was sitting there, the lid not yet tightened.

The greasy range hood was still lit with its own lighting.

"Is anyone there?" Li Cheng颐 asked softly.

No one answered.

His eyes became serious.

He withdrew his head from the pick-up window and turned around.

A pale white face was staring directly at his face, standing behind him!

"!!?"

Li Cheng颐 reflexively took several steps back, bent over, and drew his gun.

*Click.*

The trigger was almost pulled, but there was nothing in front of him.

The pale white face seemed to have disappeared all of a sudden, as if he had just seen an illusion.

*Huff*... *Huff*...

Li Cheng颐's heart was beating rapidly, his face slightly flushed.

'Shouldn't I still be in that blind spot in the Gries parking lot? How... No!'

Suddenly he realized.

Before, he had also almost entered that mysterious blind spot in the university.

'In other words, just because you enter one blind spot doesn't mean you won't enter another blind spot again...'

Li Cheng颐 suddenly realized.

This was a detailed piece of information that Sindela had not provided to him.

'No... or maybe they didn't even notice. Sindela is just a private company, so it's normal for the information to be incomplete. If it was an official organization, perhaps...'

Li Cheng颐 walked cautiously towards the restaurant door, while holding his gun, ready to strike at any moment.

Fortunately, the pale white face had not reappeared.

Until he reached the door, the surroundings were still quiet.

*Huff*...

Li Cheng颐 breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and grasped the glass door handle, and pushed it outwards.

*Squeak*...

The door hinges made a slight noise, and then the door was pushed open.

Li Cheng颐 took a step forward.

In an instant, his eyes blurred, his mind spun, as if he had completely lost his balance.

In the blink of an eye, he was standing outside the rice noodle shop, surrounded by the bustling streets.

To the side was the colorful neon sign of the New Century Building.

"I'm out!" Li Cheng颐's heart settled.

'It seems that was just a false alarm, it should just be a temporary omen.'

Blind spots occasionally cause temporary omens, but these omens do not necessarily mean you will enter.

This was also mentioned in the company's资料.

Li Cheng颐 breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at the rice noodle shop. The people inside were still the same two tables as before.

It seemed that the empty rice noodle shop he had just seen was just an illusion.

'But it seems it's getting close. The omens are starting to appear, which means I may be entering soon, and I must be prepared.'

He was awe-stricken in his heart and strode towards the hotel where he was staying.

*Thud.*

He took the second step.

His eyes blurred again, and the feeling of spinning reappeared instantly.

By the time his vision cleared and his mind stabilized,

He was already in a dimly lit white space.

On the black ground, rows of blurry white parking lines extended forward.

'Gries...'

Li Cheng颐's body stiffened, and he quickly reacted, looking to both sides.

*Bang.*

The small red door of the maintenance room on the side wall suddenly crashed open.

A huge black and white human face rushed out, moving at an extremely fast speed, lunging towards him with its mouth open like a giant beast.

'Hua Lin Yi (Flower Scale Armor)!' Li Cheng颐's heart shook, and his entire body was covered with the purplish-black Hua Lin Yi.

Countless purple藤 petals, like specks of light, converged to his body, forming a hideous armor, mixed with wisps of fine black smoke.

In an instant, the face lunged close.

Li Cheng颐 only had time to raise his hand and throw a punch.

*Boom!!!*

The man and the monster collided head-on.

Li Cheng颐's body was sent flying, slamming heavily into the wall, rolling on the ground.

He felt a burst of pain all over his body, and the bones in his arms and shoulders seemed to have lost all feeling. His right hand felt like it was gone, completely unable to exert any strength.

The black and white face monster opposite him, which was the Big Face Monster, was now floating up from the other side of the wall in a daze, approaching him again.

"Damn it!" Li Cheng颐 slammed his right hand hard on the wall, activating the second stage of the Flower Language ability.

Just before the collision, he had activated the Flower Language ability, the Hand of Intoxication.

Now, slamming his hand on the wall was to forcibly control the Big Face Monster, delay time, and test the escape method.

Sure enough, after Li Cheng颐 pressed his hand against the wall, the Big Face Monster immediately changed its target and crashed into the wall he had slapped.

*Bang.*

It slammed hard against the wall and stuck there, no longer moving.

Li Cheng颐 seized the opportunity to climb to his feet and ran away.

Wearing the Hua Lin Yi, his use of the Flower Language ability would be amplified. So he was not worried that the Face Monster would break free quickly.

Taking advantage of this state, he ran at full speed towards the upward curve.

Just now, in his haste, he observed that this floor was the bottom floor of the Gries parking lot, and the higher floors were likely where the gap existed.

The appearance of the gap was irregular, and Li Cheng颐 could only keep searching.

Soon, after rushing past the corner and going up a level, and no longer seeing the terrifying figure of the Big Face Monster, Li Cheng颐's emotions stabilized a little, and his vision was constantly scanning both sides.

Nothing!

He didn't dare to stop and rushed to the higher level at full speed.

Still nothing!

Then the third floor, still nothing!

Fourth, fifth, sixth!

Nothing, nothing, nothing!! There were no gaps.

Li Cheng颐 began to get anxious and impatient. The Hua Lin Yi was consuming a lot of his stamina, and if he couldn't find it again...

Until he rushed to the seventh floor.

He found it!

A black gap clearly appeared on the right wall, behind a load-bearing pillar, blocked by shadows.

His heart was overjoyed, and he rushed over.

*Bang!!*

A burst of great force slammed into his side, sending Li Cheng颐 flying out.

The Big Face Monster didn't know when it had reappeared, and it opened its big mouth, lunging towards him.

This bite failed to hit and was dodged by Li Cheng颐 rolling away.

The Big Face Monster turned again and rushed towards him, accelerating like a car.

But it flew out a few meters and then stopped immediately, sticking to the ground, no longer moving.

It was the Flower Language ability again!

Li Cheng颐 rolled over from the ground and got up, without the slightest hesitation, rushing towards the gap.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw another Big Face Monster flying out from the corner, rushing towards this side.

'Damn it, there are two of them!!' He was anxious in his heart and hurriedly squeezed into the gap.

But the Hua Lin Yi was too hard and too wide, and he couldn't get in at all, stuck outside the gap.

Looking at the approaching second Big Face Monster, Li Cheng颐 hardened his heart, mentally controlling the Hua Lin Yi to dissipate, and rushed into the gap.

'Life or death depends on this!'

His body went all the way inside along the gap, until he reached a depth of five or six meters, he stopped and followed the previous plan.

'How did Jia Ji'er do it back then?'

'Close your eyes!'

Li Cheng颐 forced himself to resist the urge to look at the Big Face Monster and closed his eyes.
