Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 1240: Chapter 1122 Time for Counter-kill!_1 Chapter 1240: Chapter 1122 Time for Counter-kill!_1 The monster brushed past Victoria and dashed into the cornfield, heading towards the location where the fireworks were blossoming.

Victoria let out a sigh of relief and turned to find her mother in the midst of giving birth.

The sight that met her eyes was horrifying—

Her mother’s floral dress was soaked in blood, which was slowly oozing from her sitting position forming two streams towards the drain.

Even the edge of the bathtub was marked with bloody handprints.

Her mother, her hands stained in blood, was silently panting, holding her newborn baby whose amniotic fluid still hadn’t dried up.

At the sight of Victoria intact, a look of relief and joy shone instantly on her face as she tried to stand up.

Victoria rushed to support her.

Their father also hurriedly arrived, and he and his wife tightly embraced each other.

“?” Victoria was taken aback, was this a time for expressing emotions?

She smacked her Old Dad on the head.

“???” NPC Father turned around in shock, looking at his elder daughter.

[Quickly leave!

The baby will cry!] Victoria told them in sign language.

Old Dad quickly regained his senses, and not wanting to argue with his daughter, he picked up his weak wife to leave the place, heading to the pre-arranged “shelter”.

This was the specially cleared out second floor underground.

Not only was the entrance and exit blocked by an extra-thick foam mattress, but the surrounding walls were also plastered with layers of newspaper by the family to prevent the sound from traveling as much as possible.

This was supposed to be the predetermined birthing spot, where all the preparations had been made.

But due to a sudden accident, they couldn’t make it here in time.

When they reached, they immediately put the crying child into a ready-made swaddle, and then into a small wooden box.

They put a small breathing mask prepared in advance on the baby and finally covered it with a cotton-wrapped cover, sealing all the sound inside.

The biggest crisis was temporarily removed.

But before Victoria could catch her breath, Queenie’s private chat appeared again:

[Save me!

Senior Schoolgirl!!]

[They are going to lick me!!!]

Queenie was almost crying from fear.

This thing didn’t seem scary from afar, anyway, you can’t see it clearly.

But once the distance was within a few meters, when both sides were quiet and confronting each other, this monster was just like constantly emitting pheromones called [fear].

It made one’s heart speed up, didn’t dare to breathe, and even made one’s hands and feet weak.

The effect of the fireworks was indeed huge, but the duration was not long enough, it was consumed in less than three minutes.

At this time, the cautious Queenie hadn’t run far.

Then, her illness struck.

The old problem, asthma.

This issue would strike her when she was doing intense exercise, was too nervous, was too scared, or even when nothing happened, she would still suffer from it periodically, it was a permanent negative status.

Helpless, she took her inhaler and took a puff.

Then the monsters rushed at her.

Queenie was then trapped under the granary.

—The bottom of the huge cylindrical metal grain silo was less than 40cm off the ground, hearing the monster’s voice, Queenie quickly hid in this narrow space.

But the monsters didn’t leave, it was as if they realized something, and began circling the grain silo, constantly sticking their heads into the gap, even exposing the flesh under their head’s bone skin, pinpointing Queenie’s position and almost “licking” her several times!

What’s even worse: two monsters were licking at the same time!

Queenie was frightened silly.

She knew very well that once she was licked, it would not be a question of whether she was clean or not, but she would be eaten clean!

All she could do was privately ask Victoria for help.

Meanwhile, in the [shelter], the couple had just begun their sincere conversation—

The wife pleaded with her husband, to bring their younger daughter back safely.

The husband, watching his wife intensely, promised her that he would do it balabala…

Before their conversation had even ended, Victoria had already lifted the mattress above her head and quickly left the shelter, even casually taking Old Dad’s hunting gun on the way.

“If you wait till you finish chatting, Queenie would just have one foot left!”

The dialogue ended abruptly, and the Old Dad hurriedly let go of his wife’s hand, chasing after his running elder daughter.

The wife, who had just finished giving birth, could finally relax her tense nerves and lie down to rest.

*

Rushing over to save her would be too late and very foolish.

After Victoria left the shelter, she ran some distance before raising her hunting gun to fire into the sky.

But just a second before she pulled the trigger, that strange internal organ buzzing sound arose again.

And it was close!

Victoria suddenly froze, turning around little by little.

She saw her father, who had unexpectedly halted, and the monster that was getting closer and closer behind her.

The third monster had appeared!

Victoria hadn’t anticipated this at all.

She had thought that putting a disabled man and a weakling against two monsters was outrageous enough.

But it seemed she had seriously overestimated the development team’s bottom line!

Victoria was a bit flustered, but she still swiveled the gun barrel towards the monster, retreating step by step along White Sand Path.

The monster cocked its head from side to side, seemingly aware of something, but it couldn’t ascertain what it was.

So—

Victoria once again saw the outer shell of the monster’s skull open like a budding flower.

The moist and massive cochlear structure opened and closed, a faint sensation brushed over her skin, causing her hairs to stand on end.

The red light bulb two meters away began to flicker brightly then dimly.

Above Victoria’s right ear, the sometimes working, sometimes not hearing aid, again emitted a sharp, piercing sound!

“Ugh!” Victoria covered her hearing aid, instinctively wanting to remove this damn thing.

But as she pressed down on her hearing aid, she suddenly remembered something—

It wasn’t the first time this had happened.

Last time, she was too preoccupied with the pregnant woman’s situation and didn’t have time to think.

But now it was different.

Victoria realized—

She was in extreme pain, but the monster also seemed to be in pain!

The monster was blind.

It opened the bone armor of its skull to fine-tune its listening, not only to enhance its hearing but also to use a sort of echolocation similar to bats!

The flickering bulb next to her was proof.

And her faulty hearing aid, due to some kind of accident, had amplified the monster’s sound wave frequency, causing the monster to also become unbearable!

And—the defense shell had already opened, exposing the flesh underneath…

Victoria held her head with her right hand, enduring intense pain.

With her left hand, she raised her gun, trying to aim single-handedly.

But the horrifying torture, like scraping glass on the cerebral cortex, wasn’t something ordinary people could endure.

She simply couldn’t aim steadily.

Fortunately, there was another person here.

“Bang!!”

A gunshot roared through the night.

The father walked right up to the monster and blew its head off!

Without the protection of the shell, the monster’s flesh instantly shattered under the strike of the massive shotgun load, turning the conical patch of road behind it red.

The monster collapsed instantly, motionless.

The unbearable sharp buzzing in Victoria’s ear also disappeared instantly.

The father breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to pull Victoria away.

But he found nothing in his grasp.

“Bang!!”

Victoria fired another round into the fallen monster’s head!

After reloading, she turned around and ran.

Though she began running again, her mindset was completely different—she was no longer nervous.

Now that the monster’s weakness was clear and she had a weapon in her hand, the rest of the task was simple.

If described in gaming terms—

The monster’s health bar was now visible!

And no player would fear a monster with a visible health bar!

Now, it was time for a counter-attack!
