Chapter 48: Oh, Interesting...

Ada ran away without looking back. Li Yexing wanted to catch up, but he was forced to run in the opposite direction by the sweeping machine gun bullets. In a panic, he ducked into a corner and peeked out, only to see the maid who had followed Parker in the hall before, carrying a machine gun and walking elegantly.

So, was Ada not responding earlier because she was accompanied by the maid?

Unlike Ada, a spy who needed to avoid direct confrontation with the enemy as much as possible, Li Yexing, who had experienced battles, had rich experience in frontal combat. Moreover, Li Yexing was not the type of person who would willingly take a beating. He decisively poked his head out and aimed his gun at the maid who was approaching leisurely.

However, the maid only slightly dodged like a machine with precise accuracy, evading Li Yexing's gun, and then raised the machine gun in her hand. With the terrifying firepower suppression, Li Yexing quickly retreated. He reached for his waist and pulled out a grenade that he had stripped off a corpse, then pulled the pin and threw it directly.

Honestly, throwing grenades in a closed space like a cruise ship was not a good choice, but Li Yexing was always hot-headed.

With the roaring explosion, the lights in the corridor instantly went out. The lower corridor, which was not very bright to begin with, suddenly became even darker. Li Yexing took a deep breath and then darted out, firing a spray of bullets toward the smoke and dust produced by the explosion.

When the dust gradually settled, Li Yexing furrowed his brow and held his gun. He found that there was no maid's body in the corridor, only her machine gun, which seemed to have been damaged by the explosion.

The corridor was now riddled with holes after the grenade attack, with fires burning on the ground, walls cracking open, several broken wires leaking out of the cracks, and emitting sparks. Metal pipes on the walls, used for unknown purposes, kept leaking white gas, making a hissing sound.

There were no rooms in this corridor, and the time from throwing the grenade to detonation was not enough for the maid to retreat along the same path. Looking at the damaged machine gun on the ground, Li Yexing furrowed his brow.

Where did the maid go?

As Li Yexing was thinking, there was a sound from the ventilation duct above the corridor, followed by an infected person falling out with a thud, and landing on the ground. Li Yexing, highly nervous, immediately opened fire at the infected person that had fallen out, and was pierced by bullet after bullet, but remained motionless.

Li Yexing keenly noticed that the neck of the infected was bending at a strange angle. It was a corpse!

Just as Li Yexing realized this, a maid with dark golden hair suddenly appeared from the ventilation duct where the infected corpse had just fallen out of. She was hanging upside down from the ceiling, and she fired her silenced handgun at Li Yexing continuously.

Li Yexing felt a sudden pressure on his chest as if he had been punched hard. He gritted his teeth and rolled over to the other side of the corner, sitting on the ground and gasping for air. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked down at his chest, where he saw a bullet lodged in his bulletproof vest.

Li Yexing didn't have time to scream in pain. He bit his lip and leaned out, firing at the maid hanging upside down.

The maid hanging in the ventilation duct twisted her body slightly, and then landed gracefully on both feet, avoiding Li Yexing's gunfire with ease. She silently glanced at the machine gun she had dropped on the ground, which was now unusable. Then, to Li Yexing's surprise, she reached under her skirt and pulled out an Uzi submachine gun, firing at the corner where Li Yexing was hiding without hesitation.

Li Yexing quickly withdrew his body, avoiding the maid's bullets. But at this moment, his mind went blank, and the scene of the maid pulling the gun out from under her skirt kept replaying in his head.

No... something's not right. The maid's skirt is so short, how did she manage to hide a submachine gun with such a long magazine under it? Is this some kind of fourth-dimensional thing?

Fortunately, Li Yexing did not witness the scene of the maid pulling the machine gun out from under her skirt, or else his brain would probably have crashed on the spot.

"This is Li Yexing. I've found Ada, but I'm being chased by a troublesome person. I think I need backup!" Li Yexing whispered into his communicator while hiding in the corner.

"I'll be there soon." Lilith's voice came from the communicator, short but inspiring.

"This is Ada. Where is Miss B.O.W.'s location? I can meet with Miss B.O.W. first and then go find you." Ada's voice came from the other end of the communicator. Then her tone became a bit teasing: "How about it, Li Yexing? Can you still hold on?"

"Fuck me. Where did you find this star of rotten luck?!" Li Yexing tried to retaliate while sticking his head out, but for some reason, the maid seemed to predict his movements and was always able to dodge his attacks accurately and counterattack quickly. Li Yexing's shooting only slowed her down, but couldn't stop her from getting closer.

The way she dodged was strange, not like the final boss Wesker in Resident Evil 5, who could only dodge bullets by relying on his physical speed. Instead, through extremely fast reactions, Li Yexing could feel that the maid had completed the dodging action before he fired.

Could she have predicted the trajectory in advance by aiming at his gun? But that's too far-fetched. Can a human do this kind of thing?

The sound of high heels stepping on the ground got closer and closer, almost in his ear, and the magazine in his hand had already run out of bullets. If he changed the magazine at this time, that damn maid would have already been standing on his face!

Forget it, take a risk. When riding a bike, a crash is better than a stalled ride!

Just as the maid was about to reach the corner, Li Yexing shouted and rushed out. The HK-416 in his hand was raised high like a fire poker, and he slammed it at the maid's forehead.

The maid looked cold and dodged Li Yexing's blow with a sideways movement that would have been enough to smash a normal person's brain, then lifted the Uzi submachine gun in her hand and fired at Li Yexing. But the distance was enough for Li Yexing to react. He rushed into the maid's arms to avoid the gunfire and grabbed her on both sides with his hands. Then he viciously kneed her in the stomach.

Li Yexing's idea was simple. Since he couldn't win with a gun, he would fight hand-to-hand. This maid had thin arms and legs and couldn't possibly defeat him in a physical fight.

Then Li Yexing was stunned.

The maid reached out her hand, firmly catching Li Yexing's knee strike. The soft touch of the girl's hand, which was unique to women, was felt on Li Yexing's knee, but the softness prevented his knee from advancing even a little bit.

With the first attack missed, Li Yexing quickly withdrew his leg, and then threw a strong right hook toward the maid's chin. The maid slightly tilted her head back to dodge the punch, and at the same time, wrapped her legs in black stockings around Li Yexing's lower body, delivering a deadly kick.

Surprised, Li Yexing quickly reached out his hands to catch the maid's leg.

The touch of those black stockings was really something!

Before he could fully appreciate it, the maid quickly adjusted her posture. She grabbed Li Yexing's collar with one hand, and then threw him over her shoulder, intending to throw him to the ground.

Seeing himself lifted by the maid, Li Yexing had to admit that he had underestimated her. Her hand-to-hand combat skills were almost approaching, if not surpassing, the main characters of the Resident Evil series!

If this continued, he would die!

In this split second, the impulsive and crazy thinking of Roples' Mad Dog, took over. A wicked and crazy smile appeared on Li Yexing's face. He decided to take a gamble!

Just as the maid lifted him up, Li Yexing suddenly reached for her chest and pulled it hard. Then, Li Yexing was thrown to the ground, but as the maid picked up her Uzi to execute him, Li Yexing reached out his hand, holding something up high.

Seeing what Li Yexing was holding, the maid was suddenly stunned!

He won! Although the tactic was both shameless and despicable, he won!

Seizing this moment, lying on the ground, Li Yexing quickly pulled out his handgun from his waist and fired a shot at the maid's chest.

The shot hit the maid's chest firmly, and with a sound like metal colliding, a burst of electric sparks exploded from her chest, causing her to let out a scream and drop her gun, staggering backward several steps while clutching her head, in the astonished gaze of Li Yexing.

Li Yexing noticed that between the two soft and sizable masses on the maid's chest lay a gem-like object, which seemed to have broken after being hit by the bullet, continuously leaking electricity.

Oh, interesting...
