The Nurse Chief's gradually deranged smile suddenly froze, then the next moment, she continued to feel the smooth, hard object. Her expression drastically changed, and she swallowed.
Damn it!
However, the Nurse Chief reacted immediately, lifting her leg to knee Kazuma in the groin.
Kazuma was prepared for this move and also lifted his knee.
Women hitting men often think this will have a miraculous effect, but without a spray or similar control, if this kick lands, it's fine if it hits, but if the opponent can still move, their rage meter will instantly max out.
The Nurse Chief felt her knee was about to shatter.
She let out a panicked shriek, but Kazuma was not unprepared. The moment he knocked her down.
Kazuma immediately pounced, elbowing the Nurse Chief in the waist, then pulled out his pistol, straddled her, and shoved the gun directly into her screaming mouth.
The Nurse Chief was so scared tears streamed down her face.
She shook her head frantically, tears instantly smudging her makeup, losing all the composure she had before.
"How is this possible? Who are you?!"
"Speak…"
Kazuma was just about to begin his interrogation when he suddenly heard a sound like a school bell ringing throughout the basement.
The sharp, piercing bell rang continuously.
Kazuma couldn't figure out what was happening for a moment.
"Wuwu!"
When he heard the sound, the Nurse Chief he was holding was even more terrified than him.
The next moment, the sound of locks unlocking and locks tightening came.
Kazuma realized the tightening sound came from behind him, and the unlocking sound came from the cages.
"Wh-What's going on?!"
The next moment, the women who had been dazed in the cages all began to move.
Only then did Kazuma realize that these fragrant people had crimson eyes.
"Quick! Get up! If these things go crazy, none of us will…"
Kazuma pulled out a small scythe directly at the Nurse Chief, preparing to save bullets.
"Wait! What are you doing? I can give you what you want! How can you hit a woman? Are you even…?"
"I never kill women or children, but we need to define what a human is first."
Kazuma ignored her resistance and drew the scythe across her fair neck.
Under her horrified and disbelieving gaze as she fell into a pool of blood, he jumped up and pulled out the small scythe.
"Come on!"
But he discovered that those guys weren't coming to kill him at all.
The women who rushed out of the cages were like madwomen, shouting incoherently.
"Men! Men!"
"I want men!"
Looking around, there were 7 of them in total. Those women no longer resembled humans; they moved like beasts, running wildly on all fours. As soon as they approached Kazuma, they lunged at him with a crazed intensity.
While it sounded alluring, Kazuma's actual experience was like playing The Forest on Hell difficulty, surrounded by a large group of agile female savages.
Their dry, messy hair flew wildly, their crimson eyes stared madly at Kazuma's crotch, like a pack of bloodthirsty beasts, almost frantically surging from all directions.
Meanwhile, in the laboratory just a wall away, Kirito had just slipped in through the door Kazuma had opened, only to find that another iron door had fallen down on the frame of that iron door. No wonder he always felt the door frame was a bit wide, and this place was a bit too bold.
Now it seemed they at least had some protective measures in place.
As he was looking for Kazuma, he saw several men suddenly rush out of another room.
And these men had a common characteristic: almost all the hair on their bodies had fallen off, and their skin had an unnatural black hue, not the black of African farm tools, but a black base with a hint of red. Their eyes were completely crimson, staring intently at him. This wasn't the most terrifying part.
The most terrifying thing was that these men's naturally endowed 'guns' were standing erect and pointing directly at Kirito, like Commander Olga continuing to advance.
This scene caused Kirito immense psychological trauma once again.
"Women! Women!"
They shouted almost maniacally, lunging at Kirito.
"I! I'll kill you all!"
Kirito was truly more panicked now than when he discovered Akihiko Kayaba had directly given him administrative privileges.
A cry of "Asuna, save me!" almost escaped his lips.
If he died instantly, it would be fine, but if he accidentally didn't die, would he have to sit on the sofa later with a row of black uncles standing behind him?!
…
Meanwhile, the last of the three, Keli, was expressionlessly watching the elevator.
He had originally started heading down the stairs after seeing the message that Kazuma had entered the basement, but at some point, the stairwell door had been locked again.
At that moment, Keli felt something was wrong, that he and his companions might have been exposed.
So he immediately decided to take the elevator instead.
However, after he entered, he discovered a problem.
After the elevator doors closed, he pressed the first floor, but there was no reaction whatsoever.
Then, as Keli saw the message [Sato Kazuma: I'm making my move], the entire interior of the elevator lit up red.
And a voice quickly sounded in the elevator.
"Which department are you from?! Your two accomplices who infiltrated the basement have already been captured by us! We have blocked the hospital's signal! Don't even think about escaping!"
It was an angry, surprised roar; the other party seemed extremely panicked by the sudden turn of events.
Keli didn't know what he was panicking about. With their level of security, it seemed quite surprising that they were found out.
Although Keli and the others finding them was indeed a genuine surprise.
But Keli keenly caught a word in the other party's statement: "department."
This was clearly not an ordinary criminal organization; people don't start by asking others what department they belong to.
So, without changing his expression, he spoke into the empty elevator.
"Which one do you think? Don't you know what you've done yourself?"
"Impossible! Our project has the endorsement of your director! I'll call him right now, who sent you here?!"
Keli was a little disappointed. Unfortunately, the other party did not reveal the surname of the so-called director.
Keli had expected this bluff to be like a traffic police nationwide live broadcast checking for drunk driving, but the person stopped suddenly shouted: "What's your badge number? Your Xxx leader just had dinner with me, and you're still stopping me?!"
That kind of ultimate self-exposure truck.
Keli figured the other party probably thought they were being investigated by some department and was preparing to pull strings or show identification. However, it was unexpected that even at the point of pulling strings, the other party didn't reveal their own affiliation.
So, who am I supposed to find to make up for my lack of hunting targets?
And judging by the sound, there wouldn't be similar things in Japan, would there? Keli felt a headache coming on.
"Wait! You're bluffing me! You're not from the department at all. Are you some foreign force, here to seize our research results?! You can forget it! We'd rather destroy them than give them to you!
I advise you to immediately disarm! And confess your accomplices, otherwise, when you reach the sixteenth floor, we will immediately open fire on you! I repeat again…"
As he finished speaking, the elevator, which had been stationary for a long time, immediately began to move slowly.
Keli didn't mind. He directly pulled out the shotgun, which had only been test-fired once, from his bag. With his other hand, he pulled out a butcher's knife and slashed it across his hand, performing an enchantment whose effectiveness on humans was unknown. Then, with a flick, he covered the elevator's camera lens with blood and hung several small "firecrackers" he got from the village chief on a specially purchased multi-hook belt.
"Hajimaru yo!"
