Geralt of Rivia: The White Wolf

Chapter 24 The Witcher's Sense of Smell

The group looked at the brightly lit laser tunnel and, with a tacit understanding, glanced at Kaplan.

Kaplan immediately sat down in front of the console and began typing on the keyboard.

"Once I get in, I'm going to blow that bitch's life out of the water!"

"Rain looked at the laser tunnel with resentment and said."

Geralt frowned and looked toward the laser tunnel, because he smelled the scent of a stranger.

It's a scent that doesn't belong to anyone present.

For a moment, Geralt's eyes became thoughtful, and he looked at Zhan Lan and asked:

"Do you recall if there were any other secret passages inside?"

Zhan Lan was taken aback, looked towards the room where the Red Queen was located deep within the laser tunnel, thought carefully for a moment, and shook her head, saying:

"No, I don't remember either the first or the second one explaining it."

Gerald nodded, no longer dwelling on the question, and instead asked, "According to your description, the sewer should be located nearby, right?"

Zhan Lan nodded and said, "That should be correct!"

Just then, "Bang!" The steel door of the server room suddenly made a loud noise.

This sound was different from the noise made by zombies scratching at doors.

Immediately afterwards, there was another loud bang.

The steel gate began to shake, and visible bulges appeared.

"It's the Lickers! Red Queen released the Lickers!"

Upon seeing this, Zheng Zha exclaimed in surprise.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Loud noises continued to ring out, and it seemed unlikely that the steel gate would hold out for long.

At that moment, Kaplan raised his head with a look of despair and announced to the crowd:

"We can't shut down the laser channel, we're finished!"

Matt stepped forward, grabbed Kaplan by the collar, and demanded, "Why can't you turn it off? It worked before!"

Kaplan slumped in the chair as if he had no bones, letting Matt grab his collar, and said in pain:

"A higher level of authority has blocked my command, and I have no way to stop it."

At that moment, Rain completely broke down, angrily rushing towards Geralt and shouting:

"Give me that remote, I'm going to burn this damn bitch to a crisp!"

Seeing this, Matthew and JD quickly stepped forward to stop Ryan.

Geralt took out the remote control and said meaningfully:

"I'm afraid this remote control is no longer usable!"

After saying that, Geralt pressed the button right in front of everyone.

Sure enough, nothing happened the next second.

The lights in the laser channel were still on; the cellular network was still powered.

In fact, Geralt already knew that the remote control Kaplan made was probably malfunctioning after he smelled the stranger's scent in Red Queen's room.

This also explains why the Red Queen dared to risk being burned alive by releasing zombies and Lickers.

When everyone saw that the remote control was truly useless, their faces were filled with pessimism.

Matthew was mentally prepared and began to speak:

"Everyone, prepare for battle."

"We've been comrades for years, I never imagined we'd die together this time."

This time!

"Bang, bang!"

The protrusions on the steel gate became increasingly prominent, and the claw marks left by the Licker's attack could be clearly seen on the gate.

I refuse to believe it.

"Give me two grenades!"

And Ryan reached out her hand to Zhang Jie and said.

Zhang Jie did not refuse and handed over two hand grenades directly.

Matthew and the others looked at Ryan with expectant expressions, but Zheng Zha and the others had no hope.

Ryan looked at the laser tunnel with a ruthless expression, pulled the pin, and threw two grenades into the laser tunnel.

"Boom!"

After two consecutive explosions, the laser tunnel remained intact, and the mercenaries completely gave up hope.

At this moment, Li Xiaoyi asked Zheng Zha beside him with some fear:

"What do we do? Are we going to die here?"

Zheng Zha's face was pale, his eyes fixed nervously on the rickety steel gate, and he stubbornly said:

"No, we have so many guns, and we also have Geralt."

"It's not like I haven't killed Lickers before, bro."

Li Xiaoyi's fearful expression also softened considerably.

Actually, Zheng Zha himself was also very scared, and what he said was just to comfort Li Xiaoyi.

Zheng Zha knew Geralt was very strong, but with so many zombies and Lickers outside, what use was one person being strong?

In this situation, only a god could intervene.

Zhu Peng's chubby face was also deathly pale, and he said with a wry smile:

"Sigh, I miss my parents a bit. Now that I think about it, I regret that I've been hiding in my room playing video games ever since I graduated."

"My parents wanted me to follow in the family tradition and become a Taoist priest in Longhu Mountain."

"But I refused. I ignored my parents and argued with them, but they still didn't kick me out."

"It's been seven years, and my parents' hair has turned white."

"Perhaps my disappearance is a relief for them!"

At this moment, Zhu Peng no longer cared if the mercenaries overheard him; let them doubt his origins if they wanted!

I'm going to die anyway!

Yes, Zhu Peng was also pessimistic. He didn't think his older brother Geralt could handle so many zombies and Lickers.

Unlike Zheng Zha and the others, Zhan Lan was not pessimistic. Instead, she looked at Geralt with anticipation.

Geralt had his eyes closed and his hearing shut off; only the tip of his nose twitched slightly as he sniffed.

At the same time, it is also identifying directions.

The interior design of the Umbrella Corporation was excellent; the room had a very faint, very faint smell of sewers.

The swarms of zombies and lickers further intensified the stench of decay in the room.

This makes the already subtle smell of sewage even more difficult for ordinary people to detect.

Fortunately, Geralt is very familiar with the smell of the sewers.

During his previous Witcher career, Geralt spent a lot of time exploring sewers.

"Bang!"

With another loud bang, a small hole was torn open in the steel gate.

Everyone could already see the gaping maw of the Licker behind the door, filled with serrated, sharp teeth.

Just then, Geralt went straight to a spot on the right side of the room, squatted down, and knocked on it.

"Knock knock!"

Hollow, Geralt knew he had found the right place and began to feel around on the floor.

Zhan Lan's eyes lit up, and she followed suit, squatting down and groping around on the floor.

"You found it, right?"

Geralt, while feeling around, replied, "It should be down here; the smell is coming from here."

Before he could finish speaking, Geralt pressed a button, and a square steel plate rose slightly from the floor.

Geralt simply lifted the steel plate, revealing the damp, dark sewers below.

The others also noticed Geralt's commotion and all showed delight on their faces.

"Hurry up, everyone, get down here right now."

Geralt greeted the group.

The others didn't dare hesitate for a second and quickly climbed the ladder one by one into the sewer.
