Geralt of Rivia: The White Wolf

Chapter 61 Close Combat

The alien on the surveillance footage was moving at an extremely fast speed.

In the time it takes to say a few words, they have already approached the control room.

In particular, the seven newly appeared aliens moved much faster than the original five.

"These seven aliens must have been hatched from that batch of new recruits!"

Li Xiaoyi swallowed hard and said nervously.

"These aliens actually have brains. Did they install listening devices here?"

"Damn it, these aliens are actually walking together."

"Even if we wanted to build a border wall, we wouldn't have the opportunity now."

Looking at the tightly packed alien army, Zhu Peng nervously cursed.

As the alien squad rapidly approached on the surveillance footage, everyone gradually became tense.

At this moment, Tang Zichen spoke:

"Everyone be careful of these newly appeared aliens; they give me a very bad feeling."

Hearing Tang Zichen's reminder, a shadow fell over everyone's hearts.

"Bang!"

A violent slamming sound soon came from the steel gate outside the main control room.

"Bang bang bang..."

Then came a series of impacts.

Hearing the relentless pounding of the alien outside the door, Li Xiaoyi gripped the Fusion Gun tightly and said nervously:

"Are we just going to wait for them to break down the door?"

Looking at the unmoving steel gate, Zhu Peng, standing nearby, joked optimistically:

"Don't worry, I reckon they won't be able to get in even if you take a nap now."

At this moment, Chu Xuan, who had been watching the monitor, spoke up:

"Watch out above! Those seven newly appeared aliens have vanished!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts tightened, and they shifted some of their attention to the ventilation duct compartment above their heads.

Among them, Zhan Lan and Li Shuaixi focused the most attention on their heads.

Neither of them dared to relax for a moment; the pain from their wounds was a constant reminder of what had happened and what they had suffered.

At that moment, Chu Xuan, who was watching the surveillance footage outside the door, also ran to the group with a gun in his hand.

All that could be heard was Chu Xuan running over, saying:

"Watch out, the gate is about to fall. An alien has bitten off its own claw and is starting to corrode the gate with its blood."

Not long after Chu Xuan finished speaking, everyone present saw visible corrosive foam appear on the steel door of the main control room.

As the area of ​​corrosion grew larger, everyone involuntarily slowed their breathing.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

The moment the alien appeared before them, everyone instinctively pulled their triggers.

In an instant, bullets, like a dense drizzle, filled the entire space in front of them, pouring towards the alien that had broken through the door.

However, the next second, everyone's expression changed drastically, as only two aliens broke through the door from the outside.

One of them was the alien that Chu Xuan had mentioned that had actively bitten off its own claw. Apart from those two, all the other aliens had disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, just as everyone's attention was drawn to the outside of the door, the ventilation duct above their heads completely collapsed and fell down.

As the ventilation duct layer fell, ten aliens were trapped inside and lunged at the group.

At this critical moment of life and death, Geralt made a decisive move and released an Alder Shockwave Sign aimed at his head.

In an instant, magic gathered in his hands, transforming into invisible spiritual energy that surged forth, instantly repelling the alien that was about to pounce on their faces.

However, while they were bounced away, some of the aliens, namely the seven that appeared later, were not bounced very far at all.

Moreover, the seven newly appeared aliens adjusted their attack posture the moment they landed and swiftly pounced on the group.

As for the three aliens that were pushed further away by the Alder shockwave, they also pounced on them right behind.

In an instant, the control room descended into chaos as the aliens and the crowd clashed in close combat.

Geralt's mind raced, and he instantly switched his Gauss pistol for Yamato, then activated the Quen sign and charged forward.

The ten aliens, in perfect unison, each approached Geralt and his companions.

One for each person, and the one that lunged at Geralt was one of the seven newly appeared aliens.

It's unclear which of the seven newcomers this alien has parasitized. It appears to be very large and its speed far exceeds that of ordinary aliens.

In the blink of an eye, the alien rushed in front of Geralt, its claws flashing like lightning as it swung towards him.

Fortunately, Geralt's reflexes are now exceptionally fast, and he met the attack head-on with his Yamato.

Geralt gripped the Yamato and slashed fiercely at the alien's claw. The Yamato slid smoothly across the alien's claw, and half of the alien's claw flew off instantly.

The green, corrosive blood pressure poured down on Geralt, but was blocked by a shield formed by the Quen sign.

However, Geralt frowned slightly. The feeling of Yamato cutting into this alien's claw was noticeably more obstructed than when he cut into the tail of the ordinary alien.

However, the battle left Geralt no time to delve deeper.

The alien seemed completely unconcerned about losing its claws; instead, it opened its blood-red maw and lunged at Geralt's head with ferocious ferocity.

Geralt advanced instead of retreating, and with a backhand motion, swung his Yamato at the alien's neck once more.

This strike will inevitably separate the alien from its body.

However, Geralt's expression suddenly changed. Before the alien's huge mouth could even bite down, its tongue suddenly shot towards his face like a bullet.

At that moment, Geralt had no time to dodge and was hit squarely in the face by the alien's tongue flick.

"when!"

The orange Quen sign on Geralt's body shattered instantly, and fragments of orange power disintegrated into chaotic magic in mid-air before dissipating into the air.

Fortunately, Geralt was not physically harmed, but the Quen sign on his body was completely shattered.

Geralt himself was also thrown off balance by the ricochet, and fell backward.

The alien in front of Geralt remained unchanged, its entire body about to mount Geralt, its gaping maw snapping down to bite Geralt's unprotected head.

In this critical moment, Geralt swiftly aimed his free left hand at the alien that was biting him and unleashed an Alder Shockwave Sign, sending it flying.

Geralt seized the opportunity, nimbly rolled to dissipate the force, adjusted his posture, and charged forward again with his sword.

The alien that had been knocked away seemed unaffected, and instead charged forward again with an even faster recovery speed than Geralt.
