?282 Chapter 282 – Guards

It was quite funny that the Spartans used to have around 30 Johns, but even though Nick had not even killed half of them, he had most likely gotten all or most of the team leaders.

Nick looked around the office for a bit and gathered a couple of documents that seemed important.

"Alright," Nick said to the Grey Room. "Let me check how the outside looks. I'll be back soon."

Then, Nick turned into smoke and entered the light layer again.

About half a minute later, he returned.

"I know what we're going to do," he said. "First, we need to clear the hallway. One of the Extractors is currently walking to one of the offices here. You can take care of him."

Nick grabbed the glove on the right hand of the dead team leader and put it over his right arm, stuffing the old glove into the pockets of the corpse.

Then, Nick opened the door with the glove.

Lastly, Nick pointed down the hallway.

"Down there. He should round the corner soon. I'll check the other side," Nick said.

The Grey Room quickly scrambled through the open door and ran down the corridor before waiting near the edge.

Nick looked towards the other side, keeping watch over all the doors.

If even one of them opened, he would kill whoever walked out.

CRRRRR!

Nick turned around and saw the Grey Room spinning on top of the orange Barrier of the person who had just rounded the corner.

An instant later, the Barrier broke, and the Grey Room landed on the guy's head.

Nick nodded, went back into the office, grabbed the corpse, came out, and walked over to the Grey Room.

"You can stay on him for a bit longer," Nick said as he lifted the living body with the Grey Room still on top of it.

The reason why Nick didn't immediately kill the corpse was that he didn't want to make a mess.

A blood splatter in the hallway would give his presence away immediately.

Nick looked around the corner and saw an empty hallway.

Then, he silently charged down the hallway, opened the door, charged down another hallway, opened another door, went through the guard room, opened yet another door, went down the stairs, ran down another corridor, and opened the last door.

"Oh! That looks good!" the rat shouted with excitement.

Naturally, Nick had brought the two corpses to the Parasite.

Every corpse was valuable.

A Peak John was worth 50 normal corpses.

Nick broke the neck of the living body and threw it forward.

The Grey Room jumped away from the corpse and landed on the wall.

The rat looked with interest at the little grey Specter. "Oh, you found a friend," it commented.

Nick glanced at the motionless Grey Room and pointed at the exit.

"Later, when we're done, you can escape through here. This leads into the sewers. However, I have to remind you that you should keep to our promise. For now, you still have to help me," Nick said.

The rat grinned.

With a helper, Nick would bring more corpses.

"Yeah, you should listen to him," the rat told the grey Specter. "He's pretty honest, and he's never broken a promise. If he said he'll let you go, he will do just that. Also, you shouldn't anger him. He's much more dangerous than he seems."

The Grey Room didn't say anything but slowly walked back towards the entrance.

Its intentions were clear.

"Good," Nick said before running out of the room again with the Grey Room.

When the lights turned off, the rat looked at the two corpses.

"Today is a good day!"

Meanwhile, Nick and the Grey Room ran down the hallway again.

On their way, Nick told the Grey Room about his plan, and the next moment, the Grey Room seemingly vanished.

Nick stealthily rounded a couple of corners until he stood beside a door.

Compared to most other doors, this one was made of metal.

Instead of breaking into the room, Nick just waited beside the door.

CRASH!

Suddenly, the sound of metal being destroyed came from behind the door.

"AAAAHHH!"

"A Specter!"

"The alarm!"

"Run!"

Many different voices came from behind the door.

Suddenly, the door opened.

BANG!

Nick killed the person who was running out and smoothly pulled the corpse into the room behind him.

Seven people were inside the room, and a couple of them were blindly running towards Nick without even looking at him.

Right now, their attention was focused on the other end of the room.

The Grey Room had broken through the ceiling, landed on top of someone's head, and waited there.

And it just so happened to be directly beside the alarm.

The people in this room were clothed in tactical gear.

They were not Extractors but guards.

Naturally, the guards knew that they couldn't possibly fight against a Specter, which was why their first instinct was to ring the alarm and run away.

Sadly, none of them dared to reach for the alarm.

Instead, they ran outside.

Right into Nick's arms.

Nick killed all of them in less than five seconds.

Naturally, this was the gathering place for most of the guards.

When they were not currently patrolling, they were in here, resting.

These people were the biggest obstacle for Nick in his mission.

After all, if a guard noticed that several people were missing while going on their tour, they would sound the alarm.

Nick quickly gathered all of the corpses.

Luckily, he had killed them very carefully so that they didn't lose any blood.

After a bit of improvisation, Nick had essentially knotted parts of their clothing together, creating a small rope with which he could pull the entire pile.

Then, Nick slowly exited the room and carefully made his way down the hallway.

SHING!

But then, one of the doors on the side of the hallway opened, and an Extractor walked out.

Nick stopped.

He was over 30 meters away from the person, and he was pulling a huge pile of corpses behind him.

This was problematic.
