Chapter Thirty-Six: First Kill

  Chapter Thirty-Six

  "Awesome!"

  With the help of two mercenaries, Lin Chen's physical strength had recovered. After all, his agility value was as high as 15 points, which could even rival that of professional sprinters. What he lacked was only muscle endurance!

  "Jedi, Rae, halt advance! Move laterally!"

  Lin Xun stretched out his hand and pointed to a passageway beside the stairs that led to other levels of the hive.

  "You go ahead and open the way, Jedy and Leju will provide cover from the middle, Matthew and I will cut off the rear! Hurry!"

  Two mercenaries supporting Lin Chen had more powerful rifles, which was just right for opening the way. Jadi and the others also needed a short rest.

  Jade and Le didn't hesitate at all, immediately retreating down the stairs, firing their submachine guns from time to time, accurately shooting holes in the foreheads of the zombies that were too close, with wisps of smoke slowly swirling around!

  "What's wrong with you?! Execute the order!"

  Lin Chen shook off two impact hands holding his arm and fell back a few steps, lining up with Matthew!

  "Take it!"

  Matthew handed a handgun to Lin Chen and also returned Matt's handgun to him, saying: "Don't let them get within two meters of me!"

  Matthew spoke, his eyes fixed on the zombies surging up from downstairs, the submachine gun in his hand occasionally spewing out a brilliant flame tongue, sending bullets emitting a deathly aura into the zombies' heads!

  Two assaulters took orders and rushed to the front of the team, their gun muzzles pointing at the slowly emerging zombie skulls in the middle of the corridor!

  With sufficient ammunition, even if there are more zombies, relying on the mercenaries' skills, finding a suitable terrain, it's not impossible to annihilate thousands of zombies!

  It's just a pity that the mercenaries' ammunition is limited, and including the bullets in their handguns, they only have around 800-900 rounds!

  But before these eight or nine hundred bullets are fired, the safety of this team is absolutely guaranteed!

  Veteran mercenaries with precise marksmanship, zombies are just moving targets in dire straits, nothing to fear except for their numbers!

  Lindon and Matthew stood shoulder to shoulder, following the footsteps of the team, slowly retreating into the passageway!

  The passage was not wide and could only accommodate five or six zombies walking abreast, relying on Matthew's marksmanship, the rear guard was extremely easy.

  Lin Xuan held a short sword in his hand. It was basically a personal performance by Matthew, and no zombies could get close to them within a five-meter range!

  Even if seven or eight zombies are lined up together, forming a neat formation like an ancient army on the battlefield, they still can't take one step across the Thunder Pond!

  In comparison, Lin Chen looked a bit at a loss, holding the short sword in reverse and foolishly following Matthew.

  However, Lin Chen didn't just do nothing, his eyes were fixed on the zombies' movements, observing their actions and attack methods, looking for weaknesses, and comparing them with his experience of using short swords in his mind, seeking the most effortless and effective way to kill them!

  Lin Xun knew that Matthew had at most five or six magazines, and the zombies he faced were the most numerous, with the largest ammunition consumption. In a short period of time, he had already replaced two magazines!

  Matthew's ammunition is absolutely unsustainable!

  "Report ammunition situation!"

  Lin Chen pressed down on the earpiece, and his voice easily entered each mercenary's ears!

  "Boss, there are three clips and two grenades left!"

  Jedi Report

  "Two clips, no grenades, and a handgun!"

  This is Le's ammunition situation, previously they opened the road and consumed a large amount of ammunition. If Lin Chen hadn't let them retreat to the middle of the team in time, they would have probably run out of ammunition and could only use their military knives to fight the zombies at close range!

  Everyone else, except for Alice and Matt who haven't fired a shot yet, has already used up more than half of their ammunition!

  But time, it was just a few short minutes!

  "Conserve your ammunition!"

  Lin Xun just instructed them in a sentence, and they couldn't let them go up and fight the zombies hand-to-hand.

  "Matthew, cover me."

  Lin Chen patted Matthew on the shoulder and held a short sword in each hand, his feet suddenly stopping in place!

  Matthew understood Lin Chen's meaning, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say much. The scorching gun barrel began to consciously reduce the firing frequency, releasing nearly one-third of the zombies from his firepower!

  Lin Xun landed two meters behind Matthew, his eyes calm and steady. The disgusting appearance of the zombies couldn't shake his will!

  Lin Xuan now knew why the Abyss would arrange such a terrifying task before obtaining the formal contract qualification!

  With endless terror and others' blood, help qualified candidates temper unshakeable wills to better complete tasks!

  If there hadn't been the deaths of Chen Li and others, if he hadn't experienced that kind of desperate situation where all hope seemed lost, Lin Xichen could definitely say that when he first faced those terrifying zombies, he would have absolutely not been as calm as he was now.

  A zombie with a face full of fresh blood, its arms twisted at an eerie angle, stumbled towards Lin Chen!

  An eyeball burst out of its socket, connected by nerves, hanging on a face full of bloody filth, adding to the eerie horror!

  Paired with its mouth that was contaminated by T virus, making it sharp and yellowish teeth, just this appearance is enough to make many ordinary people incontinent!

  Lin Chen's spirit was extremely focused, his eyes fixed intently on the face of this zombie, and with a mental strength beyond that of ordinary people, combined with his current attention to hitting, made the movements of this zombie appear slow in his eyes!

  Just like slow motion in movies!

  And Lin Chen himself, as usual speed, even can't wait for the zombies to get close, his feet have already taken a step forward!

  The distance between Matthew and the zombie was shortened to almost negligible in an instant, Matthew's chest thumped, his heart almost jumped into his throat!

  At this time, Lin Chen can't afford to make a single mistake!

  This undead creature can attack Lin Chen with just a stretch of its hand!

  And it does!

  The stiff arm stretched out in front, this zombie wanted to press down on Lin Chen's shoulder, knock him down, and use its virus-covered teeth to bite open his throat!

  Lin Chen merely shifted his body slightly to the side, successfully finding a huge opening in the zombie's stiff movements, and almost crashed into the zombie's embrace!

  Lin Xuan's left hand grasped the short sword and raised it slightly, without any hesitation, as if a shooting star, suddenly cutting through the air!

  With the sharpness of the short sword, even if Lin Dust didn't put in any strength, it was enough to pierce through the hard skull of the zombie!

  Matthew only felt a flash in his eyes, Lin Chen's movements were actually slow but seemed fast, and at the moment of attack, he burst out with all his speed, creating an illusion that Matthew couldn't see Lin Chen's speed clearly!

  A streak of black light flashed through the air in a swift straight line, striking down with the fastest speed!

  The shortest distance between two points is a straight line!

  The sharp sword tip easily pierced through the zombie's scalp, then the skull, and finally the brain tissue controlled by the T virus!

  Lin Chen's wrist rotated slightly, the sword tip stirred in the zombie's brain, and the soft and fragile brain instantly became a pile of mush!

  The zombie's stiff arm suddenly shook violently and then stopped moving, hanging limply down.

  "Pffft!"

  The short sword was drawn out, and the dirty zombie brain pulp presented a strange black-green color, as if it had undergone moldy changes, sliding down along the sword body without any adhesion!

  Lin Chen's movements didn't stop for a moment, and Matthew let go of three zombies that were coming over!

  Lin Chen almost instantly retreated a step back, lifted his foot and kicked the zombie's weak body, with hardly any effort, making it fall backwards!

  At this time, the zombies had no thinking ability, their movements were stiff and slightly slow. The fall of the companion's corpse in front did not stop the footsteps of the other two zombies at all!

  Then, these two zombies were knocked down by Lin Chen's zombie corpse!

  Lin Xun took two steps back again, keeping a certain distance from Matthew, so as not to slow down his own progress.

  Doubled the flow of fleeting life time limit, suddenly jumped up, increased by fifteen minutes!

  Four zombies, just for an hour, Lin Chen had a strong urge to slaughter all these zombies!

  Of course, it was just an impulse, Lin Chen's rationality still existed, and he knew that this was impossible!

  (Thanks again to "Ghost Heart" for the reward, I must say that the explosive power of 12,000 is really a huge pressure, you can try throwing in 6,000, and I'll have three updates bursting out... Finally, please recommend! Please add to bookshelf!)
