I can see experience bars after being transported to another world.

The ghouls that were gathering their strength began to slow down.

The muscles contracted frame by frame, and the tendons of the hind legs, like tightly wound springs, gradually accumulated power.

Lu Yuan could see it clearly.

Every position, every angle at which it is about to jump, every exposed weakness.

The revolver is raised.

First shot.

The nearest ghoul has put down its prey, its mouth wide open, ready to leap.

Pull the trigger.

Flames burst from the muzzle, and the silver-plated bullet, trailing a faint reddish tail, spun out before slowing down.

The bullet drifted slowly toward the wide-open mouth, as if falling into deep water.

The hammer rebounds, and the wheel rotates.

Second shot.

Two steps to the right, the other hind leg has already left the ground, and it is about to jump.

The muzzle was moved horizontally, aimed at the center of the chest cavity, at the junction of the mouth opening and the torso, the most vulnerable connection point in the entire body.

Pull the trigger, and the second bullet slowly drifts out.

The third shot.

To the left front, a larger individual lunged toward Bor.

He turned sideways, the muzzle of the gun tracing a very short arc, aiming at its side flank.

Fire.

The fourth shot.

The fifth shot.

The sixth shot.

Six silver-plated bullets hovered in the air, trailing faint red flames, like six slowly drifting meteors, each heading towards its target.

The wheel spins idly, and the hammer falls into the empty chamber.

Click.

Time synchronization is off.

[Rationality: -1...-1...43/120]

The world is returning to normal speed.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang...

Six gunshots rang out almost simultaneously.

The first bullet entered through the open mouth, pierced the palate, shattered the brain cavity, and exploded out from the back of the head.

The second bullet struck the center of the chest cavity, the silver-plated bullet exploding inside the body. Enchanted flames erupted from the wound, tearing the tissue on both sides of the laceration outwards, separating the upper and lower body in mid-air.

The third bullet entered from the side, passing through the ribs and striking the spine. The moment the spine broke, all four limbs lost control, the entire body fell apart, and the person crashed heavily to the ground.

...the sixth one.

Every single one hit its mark precisely.

Not a single shot was wasted.

Six ghouls, six corpses, fell to the ground almost simultaneously, with a series of impact sounds.

It all happened in less than a second.

Bohr and the other Night's Watchmen were still holding their guns, not yet having pulled the triggers.

Lu Yuan stood still, his revolver hanging at his side, the smoke from the muzzle still lingering.

But his expression didn't change at all.

Because the six that fell were just the most recent batch.

In the shadows further away, more ghouls were putting down their prey.

The roars rose from all directions, growing louder and louder.

Lu Yuan opened the magazine, removed the empty casings, took the silver-plated bullets from the ammunition belt, and loaded them in one by one.

The movements were quick, yet steady.

Behind them, the crawling sounds from the direction of the cave entrance were getting louder.

Lu Yuan closed the magazine, and the rotor clicked back into place.

"Bohr".

"Yes." Bor's voice was slightly deep.

"We can't hold it."

Lu Yuan raised his gun and scanned the approaching shadows from all directions.

"Retreat south."

The sound of six corpses falling to the ground had not yet faded.

Lu Yuan was already loading bullets.

With his thumb, he opened the cylinder, the empty casing fell to the ground, and silver-plated bullets were loaded one by one.

The six most recent ghouls have been eliminated.

But in the shadows further away, more gray-red figures were putting down their prey.

The roars grew louder and louder.

Behind them, the crawling sounds from the direction of the cave entrance were getting louder.

If you stay where you are, the ghouls from both directions will engulf the circle of light within three minutes.

The light can block them out for a while.

But that couldn't stop the main force, which was starving.

Lu Yuan closed the magazine.

The wheel clicks back into place.

"Walk!"

His voice wasn't loud, but everyone heard it.

Bohr turned his head.

"Open a path and retreat south."

Lu Yuan raised his revolver, pointing the muzzle in the direction he had come from, right in the center of the ghoul formation carrying their prey.

"Stay close to me."

He didn't wait any longer.

Take a step forward.

Pull the trigger.

boom!

The first ghoul blocking the road was pierced through the head by a silver bullet, its body flipped to the side, and half of its arm flew out of its mouth.

boom!

The second one.

boom!

The third one.

Three bullets tore open a gap less than two meters wide.

Lu Yuan didn't stop and rushed straight through the gap.

Bohr roared from behind.

"Keep up! Charge formation!"

Eight gray-robed figures instantly condensed into a sharp blade, and followed Lu Yuan as he rushed into the gap.

With his bronze sword in hand, he slashed left and right, forcing the ghouls that were trying to close in to him to retreat.

The gunners on both sides fired into the shadows, and silver bullets exploded into bursts of light in the darkness.

The passage is being torn open continuously.

It is also being filled in continuously.

For every one killed, two more would pour out from the alley next door.

They are no longer the same skinny pioneers they once were.

Larger in size, with fuller muscles, and the veins under the grayish-red flesh pulsate like earthworms.

Main force group.

The true garrison of the lair.

"Run!" Lu Yuan shouted, turning around. "Don't linger!"

The nine people switched from a combat formation to a running formation.

Stop trying to wipe them out, just keep moving forward.

Kill anyone who blocks your way.

Those that don't block the way are ignored.

They ran wildly along the route they had come from.

The ground beneath our feet gradually changed from a corroded black to a copper-colored alloy plate.

The bacterial layer is already very sparse in this section.

The remnants of the sandworm oil fire wall were still smoldering on the wall, and the remaining faint light barely illuminated half a street.

But the footsteps behind him—no, the sound of claws scraping the ground—were getting closer and closer.

The ghouls are chasing.

Not just a few.

It's a group.

They surged out from both sides of the street, on all fours, their backs arched, moving much faster than a person.

Their mouths were wide open, and their three layers of teeth reflected a wet light in the dim light.

There was no more roaring.

When they are chasing at full speed, they become quiet.

The only sounds were the scratching of claws across the ground and the hissing of bronze roasting the ghouls' bodies.

"We can't outrun them! We'll be caught sooner or later!" Bor's voice came from the side.

His judgment was accurate.

Ghouls are at least twice as fast as a human running at full speed.

On the empty streets, the distance is shrinking every second.

"Two men at the rear, take turns firing!" Lu Yuan shouted as he ran.

As soon as he finished speaking, the two night watchmen at the rear turned around at the same time, knelt on one knee, and raised their firearms.

Bang bang bang bang...

A barrage of silver bullets pierced the pursuing group.

The first two ghouls were knocked down, and the ones behind them were tripped and slowed down slightly.

But it only lasted two seconds.

More gray-red figures trampled over their fallen comrades and continued their pursuit.

The two rear watchmen rose and ran.

Ten paces ahead, two other men had already crouched down and were taking over the firing.

Alternate cover.

A textbook retreat tactic.

But ammunition is limited.

The number of ghouls seems to be unlimited.

Simply suppressing the bronze level is clearly not enough in the short term.

If they keep running like this, no one but themselves will escape.
