Demons Beside You

Chapter 553: Reunion

They were at the edge of a chasm. To get down, they had to walk along the rock walls.

However, just as they moved, a male Crypt Demon charged out from behind.

Bam, bam—

Everyone had an amazing reaction speed. The Crypt Demon was shot very quickly and fell down the abyss.

There was no way it could survive a fall from such a height.

“Move!” Agnes urged again.

The group began to run, but they did not dare to run too fast.

After all, the downward winding path was not wide. It was only about one meter wide.

Some places were not even one meter.

Should they be less careful, they would actually lose their footings and fall into the abyss.

Suddenly, however, the first person was grabbed and pulled up by a Crypt Demon hiding on the wall.

“Ah...”

“Save me...”

“Ali!”

Bam, bam—

In the gunfire, the Crypt Demon and Ali were both shot.

They had no other way of saving him. The only thing they could do was shoot.

Ali and the Crypt Demon fell down the abyss together.

Finally, after ten minutes of running, they arrived at the bottom of the pit.

They found the entrance to the pyramid. The group bolted in.

Then, they discovered traces of a corpse being dragged on the ground.

The traces looked very fresh.

“It’s Ali! His body must have been dragged in.”

They did not see Ali’s corpse just now.

“Move. Stop thinking about this.”

“Left!” Chen Zhao suddenly lifted his gun.

Bam—

But the Crypt Demon coming from the left was too fast.

It ran on the ground, jumped onto the ceiling, and dodged sideways.

Chen Zhao did not even hit it with a single bullet.

Agnes pressed Chen Zhao’s gun down. “Stop wasting bullets.”

Then, she raised her arm, holding a modified pistol.

She was the only one without a thermal sensor.

Bam!

Agnes’ arm lifted slightly, while the Crypt Demon fell on the ground.

Its head had been penetrated by the bullet.

Chen Zhao rubbed his nose, feeling very awkward.

To be honest, he was unbelievably bad at shooting.

“Boss, is he the ‘helper we need’?” Gwyn said, displeased.

“Stop talking, keep moving,” Agnes said coldly.

The paths inside the pyramid were more complicated than the crypt itself. They extended in all directions.

This gave Crypt Demons the chance to hide.

Boom!

Agnes threw out a well-timed grenade that hit a Crypt Demon running toward them from behind.

While male Crypt Demons had tough bodies, they could not withstand the power of a grenade.

“Behind us! Careful!”

Suddenly, three male Crypt Demons shot toward them in the passage behind them.

Bam, bam—

One of them was shot and collapsed, but the other two were still running.

Bam, bam, bam—

Agnes fired three times in a row. The second Crypt Demon fell down three meters away from them.

However, the last Crypt Demon already leaped at them.

“Shit...”

“No, move away!”

Only Chen Zhao stood still.

When the Crypt Demon was already before him, he lifted his arm and pointed the gun at its head.

Bam, bam—

Its blood splashed onto Chen Zhao’s body.

“F**k! I knew I couldn’t miss at this distance.” Chen Zhao kicked the Crypt Demon’s corpse away.

Everyone stared at him as if he was insane.

He actually dared to let the monster go so close to him.

What a ridiculous madman.

Nevertheless, Chen Zhao was not totally useless.

At least he was brave.

“Damn, I’m out of bullets. Rory, gimme a clip.”

“Here you go. Use it wisely.”

As they went deeper, their ammunition was being depleted fast.

Only Ali had died. To them, the casualty was acceptable.

However, as they ran low on ammo, the real danger was approaching.

“Go, in front. It’s close!”

Agnes’ hair was somewhat messy. Her carefully made curly hair was now wet with sweat.

“Mom... here...”

Suddenly, they heard Murphy’s voice.

The group saw some people in the stone room in the front.

In addition, Ali’s corpse was also by the door.

“Quick, go!”

“Boss, three male Crypt Demons behind, more than 80% exoskeleton!”

Everyone gasped in shock. 80% exoskeleton meant that their bullets had to hit the remaining 20% to be effective.

Bam, bam—

The bullets shot into the darkness and created some sparks.

Their bullets were almost completely ineffective.

“They don’t seem like they’re going to attack us!”

Everyone stared at the three male Crypt Demons, alerted. They realized that the three Crypt Demons only blocked the path, but did not charge toward them directly.

Then, they backed into the room Murphy was in. Carlo and the rest were still alive.

Counting, there were eight or nine people left.

“Mom, did you come to save me?” Murphy hugged Agnes in excitement.

Then, he looked at Chen Zhao. “Mr. Chen, you’re here too. Thank you.”

“Where’s Tyler?” Chen Zhao did not see Tyler in the group.

Carlo and the rest seemed very dispirited. Seeing their expressions, Chen Zhao sighed.

It looked like Tyler did not survive.

“Mr. Chen, it’s great that you’re here,” Carlo said. “With you, we’ll have a much bigger chance of escaping.”

Nobody understood why Carlo had said that.

Even Agnes had only heard about Chen Zhao from Carlo.

Carlo told her that if she felt Murphy was in danger, she should go and ask Chen Zhao for help.

However, Chen Zhao had not been useful on the way.

Although Agnes did not regret it, Chen Zhao’s performance had been very ordinary.

“Huh?!”

Chen Zhao suddenly realized that there was a weak male Crypt Demon in the near distance.

He raised his arm and shot it.

Astonished, everyone looked at the Crypt Demon whose head had just exploded.

Carlo and his team members opened their mouths and stared at Chen Zhao in disbelief.

“F**k!”

“Do you know what you’ve done?!”

“Asshole, you’ve just killed all of us!”

Everyone in Carlo’s team cursed Chen Zhao wildly.

“Err... Did I do anything wrong?” Chen Zhao was confused.

“It’s over...”

“We’re doomed...”

“That’s our last resort.”

Agnes and her teammates were confused too. Chen Zhao had only shot a Crypt Demon.

Why were Carlo and the rest so desperate?

Wasn’t it just a Crypt Demon? They had killed at least ten Crypt Demons on their way here.

“Sigh... Mr. Chen...” Carlo also did not know what to say.

“What? Just tell me what’s wrong,” Chen Zhao said, frowning.
