Chapter 26 The Role of Off-Road Vehicles
After Roger left for a while, he came back.
"The team leader has agreed, but in order to verify the stability of your shooting skills, you will have to take an assessment later. Now follow me down!"
Lin Xinghai was delighted when he heard this, and then followed the people who were named, got off the armored vehicle together, and came to the two mechas.
When Roger came to ask for instructions, everyone else knew about it, so now Lin Xinghai has undoubtedly become the focus of everyone.
Even the deputy team leader Shen Han, who has always been cold and indifferent, looked at Lin Xinghai with a little more curiosity this time.
"Ah Hai, I heard from Roger that your shooting skills have improved rapidly. The next wave of zombies is coming soon. Show us your shooting skills and let us all see." Fang Tianhe said enthusiastically.
Of course, enthusiasm is enthusiasm, and the necessary tests are still necessary. After all, this is responsible for everyone.
Lin Xinghai certainly has no objection.
At this time, the place where the convoy stopped was very close to the city center, so there were a large number of zombies gathered.
Although they had just killed a batch, there were still a steady stream of zombies gathering.
Lin Xinghai glanced at the zombies on the right and saw eight more zombies rushing over. He didn't say much and aimed his gun.
When the zombies came within 50 meters, he fired decisively.
At this distance, the probability of him hitting the head with one shot can be as high as 90%.
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
Lin Xinghai fired eight shots in a row, and luckily, every shot hit the head.
With such a super fast killing efficiency, none of these eight zombies could get close to the convoy. The closest one died 10 meters away.
Even though everyone was mentally prepared, they were still shocked by this scene.
"Hahaha, good! It seems that our mercenary group has really picked up a big treasure! Maybe there will really be a sharpshooter." Fang Tianhe was the first to come to his senses and laughed.
As for the others, after slowly accepting this reality, they also showed joy on their faces.
In the shelter, only the top 10 people in shooting skills can be called sharpshooters.
If a mercenary group has a sharpshooter, its reputation will undoubtedly increase greatly, and it will attract more talented people to join.
Moreover, sharpshooters represent powerful combat power.
As long as they have a good firearm, the role they can play is immeasurable.
Shen Han was the only one in the field with a trace of barely perceptible worry on his face.
"Ahai, although you have good marksmanship, your own strength is still too weak, so after entering the city center, you should stay in the off-road vehicle, and everything should be based on protecting yourself." Fang Tianhe said seriously after laughing.
The smile on Lin Xinghai's face froze. What the hell? Want me to stay in the car again? What about walking into the city center?
Seeing the change in Lin Xinghai's expression, Roger, who was standing beside him, thought he was surprised and puzzled, and couldn't help but laugh: "How about it, are you surprised? I'm afraid you thought these two multi-purpose off-road vehicles were redundant before?"
Lin Xinghai nodded. This multi-purpose off-road vehicle did not have the defense power of an armored vehicle, and it had to be protected when it was carried. It would be better to remove the two electromagnetic rail guns and install them on the armored vehicle.
"That's because there was no opportunity to show their value before."
"The reason why they are called off-road vehicles is that their most outstanding off-road ability is of course. In the case of almost no roads in the city center, only this kind of multi-purpose off-road vehicle can pass."
"When the time comes, we will have to rely on these two multi-purpose off-road vehicles to transport the one ton of energy ore!" Roger patted the off-road vehicle beside him and said.
"How is this possible?" Lin Xinghai didn't believe it, "Let's not talk about the ordinary obstacles on the road, but what about those collapsed high-rise buildings? Can we jump over them?"
"Hey! You're right, it can really jump over." Roger said.
Lin Xinghai: "..."
Seeing the unbelievable but self-doubting expression on Lin Xinghai's face, Roger couldn't help laughing.
He finally let the other party get beaten up.
"Xiao Yang, switch to off-road mode." Roger patted the car window and said.
"Okay!" Qin Yang agreed.
Then Lin Xinghai saw that the chassis of this multi-functional off-road vehicle rose up.
There was a device similar to a lifting frame structure between the chassis and the wheels, which lifted the chassis to a height of one meter from the ground before stopping.
"This multi-functional off-road vehicle uses a new type of retractable chassis. When combined with a pneumatic device, the off-road vehicle can perform a 'high jump', with the highest possible jump of 5 meters."
"Combined with an excellent stability system and a jet system, it can even rotate 360 degrees in the air." Roger introduced.
At this time, Qin Yang cooperated with the operation, and Lin Xinghai saw that the multi-purpose off-road vehicle in front of him suddenly sank, and under the push of the pneumatic device, it rebounded instantly, making the whole car jump up.
And at this time, those holes on the side of the car body, which he had always thought were decorative, sprayed white gas.
Although the kinetic energy generated by this jet is not too large, it is enough for the vehicle to complete a 360-degree rotation in the air.
When Lin Xinghai saw the off-road vehicle landing in the sky, the pneumatic device perfectly unloaded the force, and stood steadily in front of him, he felt cold in his heart.
"Why am I so active in entering the city center?" Lin Xinghai began to doubt himself.
But no one paid attention to what he was thinking. After Roger finished explaining, he invited him to the off-road vehicle and repeatedly told him not to get off the car.
As for the others, under Fang Tianhe's arrangement, they checked their equipment and replenished their ammunition in an orderly manner.
After resting for three minutes, everyone set out on the journey again.
Lin Xinghai, who was sitting in the off-road vehicle, felt that he had lost his goal. He just sat there blankly, feeling the off-road vehicle, which was like a roller coaster, constantly rising and falling, and even jumping forward.
What he didn't know was that at this time, in the communication channel of the two mechas, Shen Han was talking to Fang Tianhe.
Shen Han: "What are your plans for Lin Xinghai?"
Fang Tianhe: "Such an outstanding talent, of course we will do our best to cultivate him! What, do you have a different opinion?"
Shen Han: "It's because he is too outstanding that I am worried. Such a person will grow up sooner or later, and the probability that he will be willing to stay in our mercenary group at that time is really too low."
Fang Tianhe: "It's nothing, everyone has their own ambitions, and it's understandable that the other party chooses a bigger stage. And we really cultivated a strong man, which can be regarded as a contribution to mankind."
Shen Han: "You are open-minded, I just feel sorry for the resources of the mercenary group."
Fang Tianhe: "Haha! If I wasn't like this, you might not have stayed at the beginning!"
Shen Han didn't say anything, but a faint smile appeared on his face.
Chapter 27 Encountering Mutated Zombies
Lin Xinghai sat in the multi-purpose off-road vehicle and thought about life for 5 minutes before he came to his senses.
During this time, the other members did not disturb him, probably because they thought he needed to adapt.
Lin Xinghai looked at the others, trying to kill the zombies while running hard. He was sitting in the off-road vehicle in a daze, which made him feel an inexplicable sense of guilt.
He raised his tearer rifle and began to cooperate with other members to kill the zombies that rushed to attack.
Since he was here, he didn't mind contributing his own efforts.
What's more, completing the task successfully would also be a lot of benefits for him, and the rewards he would receive at that time would definitely be quite a lot.
He didn't ask for anything else, as long as he was given a dozen bottles of genetic medicine, all problems would be solved.
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
Lin Xinghai began to go all out and observed this elite team that was temporarily transferred.
There were only 17 people in the entire team, including him.
It is not clear how these people are able to fight in close combat, but he has a rough idea of their shooting skills after observing them.
In the team, there are only two people who are better at shooting than him, Roger and a sniper named Song Mu.
In addition, there are only three people whose shooting skills are comparable to his, one of whom is Xu Hao, and the other two should be from the second and third teams.
It can be said that the team's advancement at this time mainly relies on the five of them to support a firepower network.
Strictly speaking, there should be four people, because Song Mu uses a sniper rifle, and the firepower he contributes is limited.
Therefore, when Lin Xinghai was in a daze just now, his own firepower defense line was a bit tight, and zombies often rushed to the front.
When he began to go all out, the situation immediately changed. After all,
Lin Xinghai's shooting skills are good, and he does not need to rush to the road when sitting in the car, so he can concentrate on dealing with zombies. After going all out, the efficiency of killing zombies is actually higher than everyone else.
This once again gave everyone a surprise. They thought that Lin Xinghai was not used to the bumpy ride in the car and needed some time to adapt before he could show his level.
Unexpectedly, the other party had only been immersed for 5 minutes before such a big explosion occurred.
After seeing Lin Xinghai's efficiency in killing zombies, the others cooperated tacitly and left a section of the defense circle to the other party.
Clang!
Driven by the pneumatic device, the off-road vehicle bounced high again and passed the obstacle in front of it.
Lin Xinghai was already familiar with such a situation. Taking advantage of the opportunity of being at a high altitude with a wide field of vision, he raised his gun and aimed at the three zombies 80 meters away, and pulled the trigger continuously from a high position.
With three gunshots, the zombies in the distance fell to the ground.
These three were ordinary zombies with limited dodging ability. Even at a distance of 80 meters, Lin Xinghai was sure to shoot them in the head with one shot.
When the off-road vehicle passed the obstacle and fell back to the ground, he quickly fired two shots to the side and quickly killed the two intermediate zombies 40 meters away.
Yes, after a short period of adaptation, Lin Xinghai has figured out how to use the opportunity of the off-road vehicle jumping up to form a three-dimensional attack that alternates between near and far.
While improving the killing efficiency, it can also prevent the zombies from gathering together to the greatest extent and posing a threat to them.
Of course, it is not easy to do this.
After all, it only takes two or three seconds for the off-road vehicle to jump high and fall. It is very difficult to distinguish which are ordinary zombies and kill them in such a short time.
Of course, Lin Xinghai is not a god. The reason why he can do this is entirely because there is a zombie detector in the off-road vehicle.
He glanced at the screen and had a clear idea of the number, location and strength of the zombies that were about to appear.
At the same time, he also noticed that a purple light spot appeared in the upper right corner of the screen.
"At 3 o'clock, 300 meters away, a high-level zombie appeared." Lin Xinghai shouted to Roger outside.
Roger made an OK gesture and said, "Please help me keep an eye on the defense line on my side."
"Okay!" Lin Xinghai's answer was also concise and clear.
30 seconds later, the high-level zombie that appeared was successfully killed. The
whole process was smooth and even the team's forward speed did not slow down at all.
It can be said that after a not-too-long battle, everyone not only recognized Lin Xinghai's strength, but also regarded him as the backbone of the team. Thump thump thump! Everyone was running while fighting zombies. Even under such circumstances, the team's forward speed reached 40 kilometers per hour. This is a gene optimizer. The physical fitness is simply not comparable to that of ordinary people. Of course, there are problems in this process. Sometimes you will encounter some very complex terrains that even this multi-functional off-road vehicle cannot pass. When you encounter this kind of thing for the first time, Lin Xinghai is still quite excited. "Should we abandon the car and move forward on foot?" But soon, his idea was shattered. Because the two mechas, "Splitting Sky" and "Sky Frost", each carried an off-road vehicle and jumped over directly. Lin Xinghai: "..." Just like that, the team advanced quickly, and Lin Xinghai completely gave up the idea of getting off the car. ... Soon, the team advanced 3 kilometers. Bang, bang, bang! After Lin Xinghai raised his gun and killed three zombies, he took out the almost empty magazine and inserted it on the bullet box to automatically reload. At this time, the zombie detector sounded a shrill alarm again. Lin Xinghai was almost accustomed to this, and he just glanced at it casually. But this glance made him a little stunned. Because a black dot appeared in the lower right corner of the screen. Zombies of different strengths will use light spots of different colors to indicate their strength. Ordinary zombies are light red, intermediate zombies are dark red, and advanced zombies are purple. It can also be understood as red turning purple! But what does this black represent... purple turning black? All kinds of thoughts were rolling in his mind. Lin Xinghai did not dare to hesitate and shouted immediately: "Lao Luo, a black light spot appeared on the zombie detector. What's going on?" As soon as Lin Xinghai said this, he found that the entire advancing team suddenly stopped, and many old mercenaries showed nervousness on their faces. At this time, the mercenaries on another off-road vehicle also sounded the alarm in a nervous voice, "Everyone, pay attention, there are mutant zombies approaching us at high speed." If only Lin Xinghai said this, there might be a misjudgment. But if two people said this, then it couldn't be wrong. They were really unlucky to encounter mutant zombies. "Leave the mutant zombies to me and Shen Han to deal with, you arrange a defensive formation on the spot and be ready to retreat." At this time, Fang Tianhe's steady voice sounded, which made everyone's nervous expressions relax.
Chapter 28 Fierce Fighting!
After Fang Tianhe issued the order, he took Shen Han and left the team directly, heading towards the direction where the mutant zombies appeared.
The three team leaders, Luo Jie, Wu Yan and Xu Haishui, also quickly arranged the members who stayed behind and began to form a defensive formation.
These were all old mercenaries in the field. In fact, the so-called arrangement was just a sentence. The
mercenaries immediately chose a suitable terrain, and then relied on two multi-purpose off-road vehicles to form a defensive formation.
It took less than a minute to go back and forth.
"Captain Luo, didn't the leader and deputy leader go to deal with the mutant zombies? Why do we still need to form a defensive formation?" Lin Xinghai finally seized the opportunity and asked after seeing that everyone was idle.
"Because mutant zombies never appear alone, they are like the kings among zombies. Every time they appear, there will be a large group of zombies following."
"What we have to deal with later is the zombie group that follows." Luo Jie explained.
At this time, the zombie detector sounded the alarm again.
Lin Xinghai looked up and suddenly felt his scalp tingling.
Because there were dense red dots on the screen, the number was more than 300.
There were even more than a dozen purple dots representing high-level zombies.
They were following the black dots and rushing towards this side.
Seeing these dots on the screen approaching, Lin Xinghai's palms gradually began to sweat.
This was definitely a big crisis. He even began to consider whether he should improve his proficiency in elementary shooting skills to 100%.
Just as Lin Xinghai was hesitating, Roger's voice sounded again, "There is a secret compartment under the armrest on your right. There are special bullets in it. If necessary, you can load it yourself."
Lin Xinghai was delighted when he heard it, and quickly opened the secret compartment, and then he saw two rows of special bullets.
One of the two rows of bullets was completely black. He was not unfamiliar with this kind of bullet. Roger used it to kill high-level zombies.
There was a label on this row of bullets that said: Armor-piercing bullets!
As for the other row of bullets, they were all red, and the label said: Incendiary bullets!
Lin Xinghai counted them carefully. There were 30 bullets of each type. It was not a lot, but it was enough. After all, there were not many places where they were needed.
Roar!
When Lin Xinghai was hesitating whether to load some armor-piercing bullets into the magazine, dense roars came from a distance.
Soon, the zombies appeared in their sight.
The leader was a giant zombie with a height of 4 meters. It had a black stratum corneum all over its body. This stratum corneum reflected a metallic light in the sun.
The overall look was like a giant wearing armor.
"Fortunately, it's an iron-clad zombie!" Roger breathed a sigh of relief at this time.
"Is this mutant zombie easy to deal with?" Lin Xinghai asked humbly.
"Iron Armored Zombie, as its name suggests, has a cuticle layer on its body that is like a suit of armor, giving this zombie super high defense."
"If a normal mercenary group encounters an Iron Armored Zombie, it will definitely be a headache."
"But our leader's ability just happens to restrain this type of defensive zombie, so encountering an Iron Armored Zombie is a blessing in disguise."
"So instead of worrying about the leader and his team, we should think about how we can hold on until the leader and his team come back to rescue us." Roger said.
Lin Xinghai nodded, and after a brief calculation, he said to Qin Yang, who was in charge of driving, "Brother Yang, do you have any extra magazines? Give me one."
Some spare equipment was placed in the two off-road vehicles and temporarily kept by the drivers.
"Yes." Qin Yang took out an empty magazine from a storage compartment and handed it to Lin Xinghai, and asked, "Is there anything else I can help you with? Don't hesitate to ask."
Although Qin Yang was selected to join this elite team, his strength was almost the bottom among all the people, otherwise he would not be responsible for driving.
Although Lin Xinghai's own strength was not good, his marksmanship had conquered everyone, including Qin Yang.
It was not surprising that he had such an attitude towards such a "powerful" companion.
"No more for the time being." Lin Xinghai said as he loaded the armor-piercing bullet into the empty magazine.
When necessary, it is faster to change the magazine directly than to load bullets.
Lin Xinghai had only loaded ten bullets when the zombies were approaching them a hundred meters away.
Boom boom boom!
The mercenaries using hand cannons opened fire first, regardless of anything, and carried out a long-range bombing first.
In addition, the two electromagnetic rail guns also began to show their power, shooting at the zombies in the distance.
However, there are too many collapsed buildings in the city center, which are natural shelters for zombies.
In this case, the electromagnetic rail guns can hardly show their lethality.
When the zombies rushed to 50 meters, the mercenaries using the ripper rifles as weapons also began to aim and shoot.
However, Lin Xinghai found it strange that Roger was not among them. He seemed to be still observing the situation.
It was not until the zombies approached 30 meters that he raised his gun and fired 5 bullets in one breath.
These 5 bullets were fired at the 5 places where the zombies were most densely populated.
But they did not hit any zombies, but fell to the ground.
However, the next moment, with the bullet's landing point as the center, a ball of fire appeared, and instantly swept in all directions, forming a fireball with a diameter of 10 meters.
Obviously, Roger shot five incendiary bombs.
The zombies covered in them immediately fled for their lives.
Moreover, the five large fireballs were connected together, faintly forming a terrifying wall of fire, which made the zombies behind hesitate.
It can be said that the actual lethality of these five incendiary bombs to the zombie group is not great, but it disintegrated the collective charge of the zombie group, so that their own defense formation did not have to face the most terrifying first wave of impact.
The role played by this is not comparable to killing a few zombies.
Of course, the flames can only be blocked for a while, and the number of zombies is too large.
The firepower network composed of more than a dozen people could not be suppressed at all, and was soon rushed to the front by the zombies.
At this time, the second captain Wu Yan, who was the most sturdy, stood up and shouted: "Physical gene optimizers, follow me!"
As he said that, he lifted the two-meter-high giant shield beside him and took the lead in meeting the zombies.
The other physical mercenaries also quickly picked up their weapons and rushed up.
They are the only line of defense of the entire defense system. If they are overwhelmed by the zombies, the consequences will be absolutely disastrous.
But sometimes, things are not transferred by human will.
There are too many zombies. Even if they choose a favorable terrain and rely on a building for defense, each physical mercenary will at least encounter the siege of four or five zombies.
The defense line instantly became precarious.
Seeing this, the third captain Xu Haishui gathered the power-type gene optimizers who were not good at shooting, and they all picked up weapons to add to the defense line.
But even so, the situation is still not optimistic.
"Kill the high-level zombies first! They are the most threatening." At this time, Roger also spoke up and directly pointed out the key to the problem.
——Everyone
knows what happened during this period, and it has made people panic.
My advice to everyone is: avoid going out, don't go to public places, and exercise more.
Yes! Good health is very important, especially in this special period. If you get sick and have to go to the hospital, it is equivalent to entering a dangerous area.
So, exercise more (indoor exercise), eat a balanced diet, and get enough rest.
I hope that vaccines or special medicines will be developed soon!
Chapter 29 Breakthrough!
For this mission, those who can be selected are the elites of the mercenary group.
The degree of genetic optimization of these people is at least 40%, and some even reach 50%.
With their strength, combined with these high-tech equipment, one person facing four or five ordinary zombies, or even intermediate zombies, at least it is no problem to hold on.
But if there are advanced zombies with stronger physical fitness than them, it will not be so easy to carry them.
If all the advanced zombies can be killed, even if the current battle situation cannot be reversed, it is still no problem to stabilize the defense line.
It can be said that advanced zombies are indeed the key to breaking the situation.
However, it is also extremely difficult to do this.
This can be seen from Roger's somewhat livid face.
In fact, Roger's focus was not on ordinary zombies at the beginning.
In addition to 5 incendiary bombs in his magazine, the rest were all armor-piercing bullets, in order to kill these advanced zombies at the fastest speed.
But from the beginning of the close combat between the two sides to now, he has fired 5 shots, but only injured 3 high-level zombies, and failed to kill any of them.
This is not because Roger's shooting skills are not good, but because of the current environment.
The senses of high-level zombies are extremely sharp. Basically, they will dodge immediately when they sense danger.
If it is normal, Roger only needs to use his rich experience to predict the direction of these high-level zombies' dodge and kill them.
But now, these high-level zombies are mixed in the zombie group, and when they dodge, they will drill behind the other zombies.
There are ordinary zombies in front as meat shields. Even if Roger can predict the direction of the opponent's dodge, the remaining kinetic energy after the armor-piercing bullet passes through the body of the zombie in front is not enough to penetrate the head of the high-level zombie.
This is the biggest problem.
Lin Xinghai observed it for a while and of course discovered this.
His brows were tightly furrowed. This situation is not ordinary tricky. Even if he is willing to spend blood and energy to improve the proficiency of his shooting skills, it will not be of much use.
Because it was not a problem of missing the target, but the armor-piercing bullet was not powerful enough.
He watched Roger grit his teeth and aim his gun again, and the high-level zombie he was aiming at instantly felt the danger.
It was moving quickly, with muscles tensed all over its body, ready to jump and dodge at any time.
Lin Xinghai could even judge that the zombie was going to dodge to the right based on the subtle changes in the zombie's body.
He could even guess the route the zombie was going to dodge and jump.
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and his eyes lit up.
After quickly replacing the magazine of armor-piercing bullets, he also paid attention to the movements of Roger and the high-level zombies.
When he saw Roger was about to pull the trigger, he fired without hesitation.
Bang! Bang!
Two gunshots rang out in succession!
The high-level zombie used the cover of his companions to successfully dodge the armor-piercing bullets fired by Roger.
But it was still injured, and it was the head.
The entire right ear had disappeared, and a large layer of skin had been scraped off, and even the skull could be seen.
If the bullet had been one or two centimeters to the left, the high-level zombie would not have simply lost an ear, but would have been shot in the head.
Yes, this was the result of Lin Xinghai's shot.
As long as you can judge the dodging route of the advanced zombie and shoot at the moment when the opponent is dodging with all his strength, it will be difficult for the opponent to dodge.
But there is also a problem in doing so, that is, he and Roger must cooperate well, because the opportunity is only a moment.
Such cooperation is not difficult for Lin Xinghai and Roger. As long as they are given some time to practice and run-in, even if it is only half an hour, this advanced zombie will definitely not escape.
But now, let alone half an hour, even 5 minutes are not available.
"Ah~ I know it." Lin Xinghai sighed lightly and opened the system panel.
Then, he spent 6 points of blood and energy to increase the proficiency of shooting to 70%.
There is no time to run-in, so he can only cooperate with more exquisite shooting.
At this time, Roger's eyes also came over. Of course, he saw the injuries suffered by the mutant zombie.
At the same time, he could also confirm that the shot was not fired by him because the shooting angle was wrong.
And through the trajectory, he quickly determined that it was Lin Xinghai who fired the gun, and even in a short moment, he understood the opponent's intention.
Roger, who was originally anxious, suddenly showed a happy expression on his face. Lin Xinghai's approach was undoubtedly the most practical way in this situation.
Moreover, the other party's attempt just now was almost successful. The two sides only lacked a little tacit cooperation.
"How do you need me to cooperate?" Roger asked anxiously.
His words sounded incoherent, and many people looked at him with doubts.
"No need!" Lin Xinghai shook his head and said, "As long as you keep the original rhythm, I will be sure to hit it."
Hearing the confidence in Lin Xinghai's words, and thinking of the other party's shooting skills, the incredible speed of improvement, Roger's spirits were lifted.
"Okay!"
After he agreed, he immediately locked on the next target.
Roger adjusted his breathing, calmed his mind, and tried his best to maintain the rhythm of the previous shot, aiming and shooting.
Bang! Bang!
This time, the two gunshots rang almost at the same time, and the high-level zombie he was aiming at, while dodging, the whole head exploded like a watermelon.
This scene made Roger clench his fists fiercely.
Obviously, Lin Xinghai did not disappoint him. He really succeeded in seizing the moment when the zombie dodged and shot it to death. Now
that they have found a way, the next thing will be much easier.
The two followed suit and found the high-level zombies hidden in the zombie group one by one, and then used the same method to kill them one by one.
Although the cooperation between the two sometimes fails, it does not affect the overall situation.
There are 18 high-level zombies mixed in this wave of zombies. With the cooperation of Lin Xinghai and Roger, 10 high-level zombies died under their guns in just one minute.
At this time, the remaining 8 high-level zombies actually retreated slowly with horror in their eyes.
"The intelligence of these zombies seems to be higher than that of ordinary animals!" Lin Xinghai narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this scene.
"Kill!" As for the other mercenaries, their morale was high after seeing this scene.
They had been holding back a fire in their hearts for a long time, and it broke out directly at this time.
——Here
, I would like to wish everyone a happy new year. I wish all book friends: a happy new year, good health, academic progress, and success in work.
Chapter 30 Superpowers
After the threat of high-level zombies was gone, all the mercenaries broke out.
The first one to turn from defense to offense was the second captain Wu Yan, who was at the forefront.
He held a large shield, which had always been used as a defensive weapon.
But when he activated the power device behind the shield, this huge shield was almost like an engineering hammer, and it slammed forward.
All the zombies in front of him were broken.
Of course, when the shield was briefly out of hand, some zombies would take this opportunity to attack Wu Yan.
But Wu Yan's body suddenly glowed with a layer of khaki light, and the bulging muscles were as hard as rocks at this moment, and he directly took these attacks.
Obviously, this is a defensive superpower, and the defensive effect is not weak.
Of course, Wu Yan would not just be beaten, and immediately retracted the huge shield that had been knocked out, allowing the power device to charge and prepare for the next attack.
If Wu Yan, whether it was attacking or defending, was open and closed, then the third captain Xu Haishui was a little special.
It should be said that his superpowers were a little special.
After using his superpower, Xu Haishui not only became taller and stronger, but also grew black hair on his body.
Even his facial features had changed a bit, and he actually looked a bit like a... giant wolf standing up.
At this time, Lin Xinghai finally understood why the other party's eyes were like those of a wild wolf.
It turned out that the other party's superpower was to turn himself into a werewolf.
After becoming a werewolf, Xu Haishui's physical qualities had been greatly improved.
And his weapon was also quite extraordinary. It was a pair of sharp claws, and it also had an electric shock function. The zombies touched by the claws would twitch all over, and the next moment the claws would pass by and their heads would move.
"Superpowers are really a good thing!" Lin Xinghai couldn't help but say, and at the same time, he was more looking forward to what his superpowers were.
At this time, Qin Yang, who was in the driver's seat, said: "Yes! If you awaken your superpowers, you can be the captain."
"Uh! You can be the captain after awakening your superpowers? Don't you need other conditions? For example, what level of strength you have to reach." Lin Xinghai was a little curious.
"No, after awakening the superpower, the strength will be greatly increased, and the mercenary group will also have more resources, so the strength will be improved sooner or later."
"Just like Xu Haishui, his gene optimization degree is only 50%, and there are many elite members who are stronger than him."
"But he is lucky! He awakened a superpower, and it is a very rare transformation superpower, werewolf."
"After being transformed into a werewolf, his combat power is close to that of a strong man with 80% gene optimization degree." Qin Yang said with envy.
Lin Xinghai also had a little surprise on his face after hearing this, but that was all.
In fact, he didn't have a specific concept of what rare superpowers were.
"What about Wu Yan! What is his superpower?" Lin Xinghai asked.
"Captain Wu Yan's ability is rockification. After releasing the ability, his skin will become as hard as rock. Even mid-level zombies can't break his defense."
"But the team leader said that this ability is equivalent to increasing fixed defense. The effect is good in the early stage, but it can't increase with the improvement of strength. If this ability can't continue to improve, it will probably become a bit useless later." Qin Yang said.
"Can the ability be improved?" Lin Xinghai was a little surprised.
"Yeah!" Qin Yang nodded and said: "When the gene optimization degree is 30%, 60%, 90% and 100%, it is possible to awaken the ability. If a person awakens the ability, there is a certain probability that the ability will be improved. So the sooner the ability is awakened, the better."
After hearing this, Lin Xinghai was moved. Since the degree of gene optimization reaches 30%, you can choose to awaken in the system.
Then, when it reaches 60%, you can also choose to improve your superpowers, instead of relying on luck and probability like other people.
This made him excited but also a little melancholy, because with the nature of the system, the blood and energy to be consumed will definitely not be less.
After a brief conversation, the two quickly turned their attention back to the battlefield and fired to help.
At this time, the battle line was already quite stable. Without the threat of high-level zombies, coupled with the collective outbreak of mercenaries, the situation was almost reversed.
You know, although the other mercenaries were not as powerful as these two team leaders, they were definitely not weak, especially because they had the advantage of equipment.
The cold weapons of this era are really not made of steel alone, and they are more or less accompanied by some technological elements.
The most common is to add high-frequency vibration or electric shock function to greatly increase the power of the weapon.
Even though they are few in number, their overall combat power can be indistinguishable from the zombies.
In addition, there were people like Lin Xinghai shooting coldly from behind. Ahem! It should be said that helping to kill zombies not only stabilized the battle line, but also harvested the lives of zombies like a meat grinder.
At this time, the zombie group had no chance of turning the tables. Even if they did not retreat, the final result would most likely be annihilation.
Therefore, Lin Xinghai's attention shifted from here to the battlefield in the distance.
The battle situation there could almost be described as the collapse of the sky and the cracking of the earth. Wherever the battle passed, streets were broken and houses collapsed.
At this time, Fang Tianhe's Sky-Splitting Mecha, holding a shock blade, continued to fight head-on with the armored corpse.
And Shen Han's Tianshuang Mecha, holding an electromagnetic railgun, kept looking for opportunities to shoot from behind and suppress the armored corpse with firepower.
At this time, the iron-like stratum corneum on the surface of the armored corpse had many cracks, and there were several places on the body, and even penetrating wounds appeared.
Even its aura had weakened a lot, no longer as bloody and brutal as at the beginning. It was even a little hesitant to attack.
"Tsk! It's much smoother than here. It can probably be solved in a minute at most." Lin Xinghai sighed.
In this way, even if he didn't find a way to deal with the high-level zombies, these mercenaries could hold on until the two captains came back to help if they fought hard.
"It shouldn't take a minute to deal with the armored zombies. Look at the Tianshuang mecha. Deputy Captain Shen Han is going to use his superpowers." Qin Yang said.
Lin Xinghai looked over and saw that the Tianshuang mecha once again raised the electromagnetic railgun in its hand to aim.
However, unlike before, in addition to the electric light lingering on the electromagnetic railgun, the entire gun body was actually filled with a layer of cold air, and even frost appeared.
"What is this?" Lin Xinghai asked.
"Deputy Captain Shen Han's superpower 'Tian Shuang' can freeze the enemy from a distance. Now that it has been amplified by the mecha, the power of the superpower has reached a higher level." Qin Yang replied.
As Qin Yang finished speaking, the Tianshuang mecha fired.
Under normal circumstances, the trajectory of the electromagnetic railgun bullet cannot be captured by the naked eye, but at this time, a white mark appeared in the air where the bullet passed.
Lin Xinghai looked carefully and was shocked to find that the so-called white mark was formed by the water in the air being directly frozen where the bullet passed.
Chapter 31 Harvest
It can be said that the power of this shot can be inferred from the movement of the gun.
And in fact, it is so.
The bullet hit the armored corpse instantly, and the stratum corneum on the back of the opponent collapsed instantly, and a wound as big as a bowl appeared.
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that the back hit by this shot began to freeze rapidly and spread to the whole body. Almost in the blink of an eye, the whole armored corpse turned into an ice sculpture.
But the mutant zombies are not so easy to deal with. The freezing only lasted for a short moment and then broke out of the ice.
This kind of freezing actually only lasted on the surface. For the armored corpse, it was just a short delay.
But the short delay was already a fatal flaw. Fang Tianhe controlled the mecha and swung the shock giant blade in his hand, slashing at the head of the armored corpse.
This knife was very different from his previous attack. The entire shock giant blade actually appeared with a black light.
The shock giant blade in this state gave people an extremely terrifying feeling, as if it could even cut through space.
With the Iron Armored Corpse's terrifying defense, a single cut would normally only leave a wound several feet long.
For the 4-meter-tall Iron Armored Corpse, this was no different from a skin break.
But at this moment, a black blade flashed, and the head of the Iron Armored Corpse rolled down.
"What is this?" Lin Xinghai swallowed and asked.
This cut was really terrifying. It was estimated that even an armored vehicle would be cut in half.
"The leader's ability, 'Splitting the Sky', is also a rare ability. The manifestation of the Sky Splitting ability is to release a black energy, which can be used directly for attack or attached to weapons to produce an extremely terrifying cutting effect." Qin Yang explained.
"The name of this ability is Sky Splitting?" Lin Xinghai's face was a little strange.
The mercenary group was called Sky Splitting, and the mecha was called Sky Splitting. I didn't expect that this ability was also called Sky Splitting.
Suddenly, he remembered that Shen Han's mecha and ability seemed to have the same name.
"Yes! The name of our mercenary group is named after the leader's ability. It's simple and convenient!" Qin Yang said with a smile.
Lin Xinghai wanted to complain, but he didn't know where to start.
But no matter what, the battle in the distance was over.
Fang Tianhe and the other two took a look at the battle situation here as soon as the battle ended.
After seeing that everything was good, they were not so anxious. They took the body of the armored corpse and rushed back.
"Why did you bring the body back?" Lin Xinghai asked curiously.
You know, the size of the armored corpse is not an exaggeration to say that it is a smaller mecha. After all, the mecha is only 5 meters high. It would be so troublesome to bring such a big guy!
"You don't know this! The corpse of any mutant zombie is very valuable! The newly developed biological alloys now need to use the corpses of mutant zombies."
"And the armored corpse is the most valuable type among the mutant zombies. This corpse can be worth at least 20,000 points when brought back." Qin Yang said, and the smile on his face increased a little more.
The more you gain, the higher the reward you will get after the mission.
Lin Xinghai nodded in realization.
With the two mechas coming back to join the battlefield, it was a massacre for ordinary zombies.
The battle ended quickly.
Everyone was delighted by the great victory.
Fang Tianhe and Shen Han also came out of the mechas at this time. After a big battle, there were many things to do, such as counting the injuries of the personnel and the consumption of ammunition.
Of course, he would definitely ask about the trend and changes of the battle.
After all, the mercenary group rewards people based on merit. Whoever performs more outstandingly will get more rewards after the mission.
In the process of understanding, Fang Tianhe also knew the role played by Lin Xinghai in this battle.
He couldn't help but look surprised. To be honest, he agreed to Lin Xinghai's entry into the city center at the beginning, really with the idea of cultivating the other party.
But he didn't expect to bring in such a big help, and this time, it became the key to the whole battle.
But at this time, Lin Xinghai didn't care about Fang Tianhe's thoughts on him. He was looking at the corpses on the ground with shining eyes, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
"Lao Luo, don't we clean up the battlefield? So many Yuanjing, but they are all points!" Lin Xinghai urged.
He now understands clearly that ordinary zombie Yuanjing is 20 points per piece, intermediate zombies are 40 points per piece, and advanced zombies are up to 60 points per piece.
There are nearly 300 zombie corpses on the ground. Even if all of them are calculated according to the ordinary points, these points can be converted into 6,000 points.
What's more, there are still many intermediate zombies. According to his estimation, if all these Yuanjing are collected, at least 8,000 points can be reached.
"Well, it is indeed necessary to clean up, but it must be done quickly. The bloody smell here is too strong. It will be troublesome if other mutant zombies are attracted." Roger nodded.
Just now, in order to hurry up, it is impossible to stop to collect Yuanjing. Now it is different to repair it on the spot.
What's more, their consumption in this battle is also huge.
Not to mention other things, the special bullets fired by him and Lin Xinghai alone cost nearly 1,500 points.
Seeing Roger nod, Lin Xinghai rushed out without saying a word.
For others, this is dirty and tiring work, but for Lin Xinghai, this is all blood and energy!
This scene made several senior executives who surrounded him a little stunned!
Xu Haishui even said, "Lao Luo, you didn't make it clear that all these Yuanjing should be handed in uniformly, right?"
"Do you think I am you? I would make such a low-level mistake." Roger said with a sidelong glance.
"Why is that?" Even Wu Yan, who usually speaks little, was a little curious.
After a slight hesitation, Roger lowered his voice and said, "I don't know, but according to my guess, he seems to have some kind of hobby."
Hiss~
At this time, several people including Fang Tianhe couldn't help but take a breath.
Even Shen Han, who had always had a cold face, had a subtle change on his face.
"This... For such things, we should give enough respect and understanding, and don't spread it." Finally, Fang Tianhe made a summary.
Everyone stayed here for 5 minutes, cleaned up the battlefield a little, and left.
After all, this is the city center, the density of zombies is very high, and the smell of blood here is so strong that zombies will come in a steady stream.
Zombies are endless, and their ammunition and mercenaries' physical strength are limited.
Being able to stay here for 5 minutes to clean up the battlefield is already the limit.
Lin Xinghai was urged to get on the car, and when he was leaving, there was still a trace of unsatisfied expression on his face.
This scene fell into the eyes of Fang Tian and a few others. In addition to their strange eyes, they became more certain of Roger's guess.
Chapter 32 Breakthrough! Gene optimizer
Lin Xinghai certainly didn't know that his unfounded hobby was actually confirmed.
And it spread...
Of course, even if he knew, he would... cough! Still care about it.
But this also helped him invisibly, at least he could cover up his behavior.
Lin Xinghai didn't have time to pay attention to other people's opinions. He happily opened the system panel.
The previous blood power had been reduced to 61 points in the process of constantly improving his gun proficiency.
But at this time, the information displayed on the system panel.
Host: Lin Xinghai
Constitution: 24 points
Strength: 20 points
Speed: 29 points
Blood power: 93 points
Gene optimization degree: 29%+
Primary shooting skills: proficiency 70%+
93 points of blood power, no matter how you look at it, it's so cool!
Of course, the more exciting thing is still to come. He secretly took out two bottles of gene medicine from his pocket and drank them in one gulp.
As the system prompt sounded, when Lin Xinghai looked at the system panel again, the blood power had become 103 points.
"It's over 100, finally over 100!"
Lin Xinghai suppressed his excitement and clicked the "+" sign behind the degree of gene optimization.
The selection box popped up, and Lin Xinghai first selected "Awakening superpowers to advance".
Then he selected, "Consume 100 points of blood and energy to awaken superpowers."
As 100 points of blood and energy were deducted from the panel, Lin Xinghai felt that a big furnace had appeared in his body, and every corner of his body was burning.
This sudden pain made him groan and sweat profusely.
At the same time, a special breath emanated from the inside out.
Qin Yang was the first to feel this breath, and he subconsciously thought that his perception was wrong.
But he glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Lin Xinghai's painful expression and red skin all over his body, and he shuddered instantly.
"How is this possible!" He couldn't believe it at all.
But the breath emanating from Lin Xinghai kept telling him that the other party was breaking the first gene lock.
The so-called gene lock will only appear when the gene optimization degree reaches 30%, 60%, 90%, and 100%.
If all four gene locks are broken, the life level will be sublimated and enter another realm.
And now, Lin Xinghai is breaking the first gene lock.
In other words, his gene optimization degree has reached 30%, and he is about to become a gene optimizer.
No matter how unbelievable Qin Yang was, after reacting, he immediately controlled the multi-functional off-road vehicle and slowly stopped.
In the process of breaking the gene lock, it is very taboo to be disturbed. At
the lightest, you may spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, and in severe cases, you may have to lie in bed for several months.
As soon as the off-road vehicle stopped, it attracted the attention of the entire team.
Roger frowned, quickened his pace, and rushed over.
However, when he approached the off-road vehicle within three meters, he suddenly felt an inexplicable breath.
His face changed, and he flashed to the car window, staring at Lin Xinghai with his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
The others were already feeling strange when they saw the SUV stop, and seeing Roger's expression, they knew something was wrong, and rushed over.
But without exception, when they got within three meters of the SUV, they all had a look on their faces as if they had seen a ghost.
"This is too much! It took me half a year to break the first gene lock and become a gene optimizer." Xu Haishui couldn't help but say.
"That's just because you are slow. It only takes me three months." Wu Yan replied.
Xu Haishui was choked and a little annoyed. "That only proves that you found a better job than me. If I could join the mercenary group at the beginning, I would have broken through in a month at most." "
That's impossible. Your gene assessment is only D-level. Even if you join the mercenary group, you can only get one bottle of gene medicine a week at most, and only four bottles a month. Even if you count the ones you bought yourself, it's not enough for you to break through." Wu Yan said again. He was just stating a fact, but Xu Haishui was speechless.
The atmosphere was a little awkward and silent. Xu Haishui decided not to talk to this big guy with zero emotional intelligence.
He turned to Roger and asked, "Lao Luo, I heard that you paid for Ah Xing's gene medicine in advance. How much stock did you take out?"
"6 bottles!" Roger said after a slight silence.
"Six bottles? How can such a small amount be enough for a breakthrough?" Xu Haishui was shocked again.
He remembered that he had spent more than half a year and drank 17 bottles of gene medicine before he broke through.
"It is theoretically possible." At this time, a cold voice sounded, and everyone looked in the direction of the voice. Shen Han got off the mecha and came to the car.
When she said this, she kept looking at Lin Xinghai with a deep gaze.
The theoretical possibility she said was really only feasible in theory, and there were many prerequisites.
For example, Lin Xinghai's basic genes must reach 10% of the theoretical limit of the human body. For
example, the other party's gene assessment needs to reach grade A to be able to perfectly absorb the gene medicine.
In this case, one bottle of gene medicine can increase by 5%, and two bottles can increase the basic genes from 10% to 20%.
After the degree of gene optimization exceeds 20%, the effect of the medicine will be halved, but it only takes four bottles to increase it to 30%.
But... does Lin Xinghai have the conditions to reach the theoretical limit?
She thought of this, and naturally others thought of it too.
"Didn't they say that his gene assessment is B-level? And what I don't understand the most is the speed at which he absorbs the gene medicine..."
Xu Haishui raised his question again, but he was interrupted by Fang Tianhe halfway through his words, "The topic ends here!"
He looked around and said, "As you guessed, Lin Xinghai is a little special. As for how special he is, I will keep it secret for the time being. In addition, you must keep your mouth shut about what happened today."
"Our Lietian Mercenary Group is still too weak. If we want to become strong, so strong that no one else can shake it, we need a strong man, a real strong man."
"Okay, that's all. Go on guard! Don't let those zombies get close." Fang Tianhe waved his hand after he finished speaking. After
hearing this, the others dispersed. They all showed thoughtful expressions on their faces, and their eyes gradually became hot.
In fact, at the beginning, these people had more or less a little resistance to Lin Xinghai joining the mercenary group, and even jealousy.
After all, they all knew that with Lin Xinghai's talent, sooner or later they would threaten their status.
However, when the talent gap widens to a certain extent, even to the point where they can only look up to each other, this comparison mentality will naturally dissipate.
Therefore, when Fang Tianhe described a beautiful future to them, and this future was related to their vital interests.
The thoughts of these people will lean towards another completely different direction.
Who doesn't want the Lietian Mercenary Group to become stronger? It would be even better if it could become a third-level mercenary group.
After seeing everyone disperse, Fang Tianhe whispered in Shen Han's ear: "What do you think?"
"Maybe his special physique can perfectly absorb genetic medicine. But his initial genes can't be 10%." Shen Han replied softly.
"You! Don't think so much, everyone has some secrets, don't you?" Fang Tianhe patted her shoulder.
Shen Han's eyes moved to the side involuntarily, and then nodded gently.
Time passed little by little, and after 5 minutes, the special aura on Lin Xinghai's body gradually converged, and he opened his eyes.
From this moment on, he is a gene optimizer.
Chapter 33 Extreme Speed
Lin Xinghai opened his eyes, but cold sweat still broke out on his back.
Originally, according to his plan, in order to not attract too much attention, he would tell Roger the news a few days after the breakthrough.
In this way, considering his unfounded special physique, it would seem more reasonable.
But he didn't expect that the breakthrough to become a gene optimizer would cause such a big commotion.
Just when he broke through, he was not completely ignorant of the outside world. He could hear everyone's conversation.
Fortunately, he met a good leader.
"Be careful next time." Lin Xinghai reflected in his heart.
At the same time, he opened the car door and walked down, saying embarrassedly: "I'm sorry to trouble you."
"Haha, no, it's good that you have successfully broken through. How about it, how does it feel to become a gene optimizer?" Fang Tianhe laughed.
Lin Xinghai then put his attention back on himself.
Breaking through to become a gene optimizer does not significantly enhance the body, and the three attributes are only increased a little.
However, becoming a gene optimizer will indeed greatly improve the combat effectiveness.
The reason for this is that the body's senses have been greatly enhanced.
In addition to vision and hearing, this enhanced sense will also give you a wonderful sense of danger.
For example, if someone points a gun at you in the dark, even if Lin Xinghai doesn't know where the other person is hiding, he will immediately feel a sense of danger.
This sense of perception is all-round, especially when fighting with others. When the other party uses a fatal killing move, you can sense it in advance and react faster.
According to Lin Xinghai's estimation, the zombies can dodge instinctively when shooting, which is also based on this sense.
There are many other uses of perception, such as sensing the enemy's approximate strength, so as to seek benefits and avoid harm, etc.
"It's a wonderful feeling, as if the whole world is different." Lin Xinghai said after carefully sensing it.
At this time, the other mercenaries saw that Lin Xinghai had successfully broken through, and they also surrounded him.
"Xiao Hai, have you awakened your superpowers?" At this time, Xu Haishui asked.
When the others heard it, they also pricked up their ears. This is the most critical issue.
As for Fang Tianhe, Shen Han and Luo Jie, they also had expectations on their faces.
Only they knew that Lin Xinghai had a special physique, and it was almost certain that he would awaken his superpowers, and the grade of his superpowers would not be low.
After hearing the question, Lin Xinghai finally reacted. He quickly opened the system panel and took a look.
Host: Lin Xinghai
Physique: 25 points
Strength: 21 points
Speed: 30 points
Blood power: 3 points
Genetic optimization degree: 30%+
Superpower: Extreme speed (increase speed by 100% within ten seconds) (Energy value: 10/10)
Primary shooting skills: Proficiency 70%+
"Yes! I have awakened my superpowers." Lin Xinghai nodded.
"What type of superpower?" This time it was Luo Jie who asked.
"The superpower that increases speed." Lin Xinghai said.
But he found that with his answer, Luo Jie's brows instantly frowned.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Lin Xinghai asked.
"There is no problem, but the ability to increase speed, as well as increasing strength and defense, are all basic abilities..." Roger didn't say the rest, because the fact that Lin Xinghai has a special physique is still kept secret for the time being.
When Lin Xinghai heard this, he couldn't help but frown.
Although he knew that he didn't have any special physique, he had a more powerful system!
When awakening, he also chose to consume the maximum 100 points of blood and energy.
Although he felt that the system was a bit of a pit, it has always been very reliable! How can it cost so much to give him a basic ability?
"How much speed can your ability increase?" At this time, a cold voice sounded, and it was Shen Han who spoke. She was always the calmest one on the scene.
"It can increase the speed by 100%." Lin Xinghai answered without thinking.
"What! Increase so much?"
"Double the speed? This increase is too exaggerated!"
"If this is the case, is it still considered a basic ability?"
Everyone immediately started to discuss.
"What about the time? How long can it last?" Shen Han asked again, this time with a hint of expectation in his tone.
"Uh! The time is a bit short, it can only last for 10 seconds." Lin Xinghai said.
However, as he said this, there was another sound of gasps in the audience.
Roger breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. "10 seconds is long enough. Other basic abilities generally only last for 3 seconds. And the enhancement is only 30%. Don't be so ungrateful."
"And basic abilities have another feature that even rare abilities can't match, which is that they enhance properties by percentage." "
That means that the stronger you are, the stronger the effect of basic abilities will be."
"It won't become useless as some abilities with fixed damage become stronger ."
In Roger's opinion, although Lin Xinghai awakened a basic ability, the increase was too exaggerated. It didn't belong to the category of basic abilities at all. It's
not an exaggeration to say that it's a rare ability.
Moreover, it's a growing rare ability.
After hearing these explanations, Lin Xinghai finally smiled.
It's good that it's not a rubbish ability. And with the system, he can use blood and energy to improve his abilities in the future.
Afterwards, Fang Tianhe also spoke up and asked Lin Xinghai to release his supernatural power. After all, it is one thing to tell someone orally, and it is another to see it with one's own eyes.
Only after seeing it directly could he determine how much use Lin Xinghai would be able to bring to the table.
"Okay!" Lin Xinghai certainly had no objection.
He felt it slightly, and he could clearly sense that there was a special energy in his body.
With a thought, this special energy quickly surged to his limbs.
The next moment, Lin Xinghai felt as light as a swallow, especially his legs, which seemed to have infinite power.
Whoosh!
He rushed out directly, so fast that there was a faint afterimage.
Lin Xinghai rushed to the distance, shuttling between buildings and zombies.
Those zombies rushed over with all their might, but they couldn't even touch the corner of Lin Xinghai's clothes.
"This is definitely 60 points of speed." Fang Tianhe squinted and looked at it for a while, and quickly made an assessment.
The other mercenaries also sighed. In the entire mercenary group, it is estimated that only Fang Tianhe and Shen Han can be faster than Lin Xinghai who uses his superpowers. It is
hard to say how much this superpower can play a role in actual combat, but it is definitely first-class for escaping.
Otherwise, a newly-breakthrough gene optimizer dared to shuttle through the corpses like Lin Xinghai, that would be courting death.
10 seconds passed quickly, and Lin Xinghai ran back in time.
At this time, he sensed the special energy in his body and found that it was reduced by about one-tenth. Without using superpowers, it was slowly recovering.
He opened the system panel, took a look, and found that the superpower column had changed.
Superpower: Extreme Speed (Increase speed by 100% within ten seconds) (Energy value: 9/10+)
"Can this '+' sign help me restore the energy in my body?" Lin Xinghai thought, and clicked it.
"Ding! Do you want to spend 100 points of blood and energy to restore 1 point of energy value?"
Lin Xinghai: "..."
Can't afford to offend! Can't afford to offend! ——Regarding
the protagonist's superpowers, I've seen many people complain about it. I admit that the superpowers are not strong enough, but the previous ones cannot be changed. They will be adjusted back later.
The current superpower setting is: the fastest superpower! (There is also a hidden superpower) If you want to spoil the spoilers, you can jump to "Chapter 466 Breaking the Limit, Superpower Transformation" to watch.
Chapter 34 Arrival at the destination
(The data of the mutant zombies in this chapter is not wrong. The setting is: mutant zombies can only be fought with mechas. The combat power of mechas is affected by the superpowers of the driver.)
After confirming Lin Xinghai's superpowers, Fang Tianhe immediately ordered to set off because of time constraints.
Lin Xinghai felt it was a pity. After all, during his breakthrough, many zombies came to interfere and were killed.
A rough look showed that there were more than 30!
What he lacked most now was blood power. Without blood power, he always felt a little uncertain in his heart.
But no matter what, he couldn't say this reason.
In the end, he could only obey the order and set off again with the team.
Sitting back in the car, Lin Xinghai occasionally shot and killed one or two zombies. He was very idle, so he continued to think about that mysterious perception.
Soon, he discovered another wonderful use of perception: it can detect zombies in advance!
Basically, he could sense the zombies within 100 meters, but he couldn't judge the number of zombies and the direction of their appearance.
However, he could roughly judge the strength of the zombies. The appearance of ordinary zombies and advanced zombies gave him completely different feelings.
"Brother Yang, your gene optimization is higher. Can your perception be used as a weakened zombie detector?" Lin Xinghai couldn't help asking.
"How is it possible! For people like us who have only broken the first gene lock, the perception we generate can at most assist in close combat. It's good enough to sense the enemy's killing moves in advance and dodge."
"If you want to use perception to find zombies, you must at least break the third gene lock. Only the leader and deputy leader can do it."
"But even so, their perception range will never exceed 100 meters, and it is still extremely vague." Qin Yang patiently gave Lin Xinghai a popular science lecture.
Lin Xinghai: ? ? ?
"Fortunately, I didn't reveal any information." While he was relieved, he was also a little excited.
According to Qin Yang, his current perception is almost the same as that of the strong man who broke through the third gene.
It is estimated that this has something to do with the fact that he spent 100 points of blood and energy to break through.
Unable to continue talking about perception, Lin Xinghai shifted the topic to superpowers.
And Qin Yang's explanation was still so patient.
Soon Lin Xinghai knew that superpowers are divided into three major categories.
They are: basic superpowers, ordinary superpowers, and rare superpowers.
The so-called basic superpowers are superpowers that enhance basic attributes.
Whether it is his extreme speed superpower, Roger's giant power superpower, or Wu Yan's rock superpower, they can all be considered basic superpowers.
And Shen Han's Tianshuang superpower is considered an ordinary superpower.
Only Xu Haishui's werewolf superpower and Fang Tianhe's sky-splitting superpower are considered rare superpowers.
It is worth mentioning that the boundary between ordinary superpowers and rare superpowers is actually very vague, and it mainly depends on the power.
If Shen Han's Tianshuang superpower is strong enough, no one will refute it if it is a rare superpower.
But unfortunately, even with the amplification of the mecha, her ability can only freeze the mutant zombies for a moment, less than half a second, not to mention how much damage it can cause.
...
Just as Lin Xinghai was listening with relish, the team stopped again under the command of Fang Tianhe.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xinghai became alert instantly, but neither his perception nor the zombie detector found anything wrong.
"The captain should want to put the armored zombie here." Qin Yang said.
"Huh? Why did you bring it here deliberately?" Lin Xinghai had some misunderstandings.
"The surface is so desolate, do you know how zombies survive? They eat everything, including the corpses of their own kind."
"The corpses of mutated zombies are a great tonic for other zombies."
"The place where we fought just now has such a strong smell of blood. It will definitely attract a large number of zombies in the future. If we hide mutated zombies there, the probability of being exposed will be much greater."
"And the density of zombies nearby has obviously dropped a bit, so it's a good place to hide corpses. Let's go down and help." Qin Yang explained as he jumped out of the car.
Lin Xinghai hurriedly followed. At this time, Fang Tianhe had already controlled the mecha and put the armored corpse on the ground.
Other mercenaries gathered around, holding white spray bottles in their hands, and began to spray something on the zombie.
"That's plastic spray. After the mist touches the object, it will quickly absorb it and form a plastic film. This will isolate all the smells on the corpse." Qin Yang took the lead in explaining without Lin Xinghai asking.
Lin Xinghai nodded. He could see that everyone in the field was already familiar with doing these things.
Everyone cooperated with each other and sprayed different parts. Even though the body of the armored corpse was huge, it was estimated that it would take less than a minute to complete.
Some people also pried open the door of the warehouse not far away. It was obvious that the armored corpse was to be placed inside.
When Lin Xinghai approached, looking at the huge corpse lying in front of him that was taller than him, he inexplicably felt a strong sense of oppression.
The cuticle on the other party's body looked uneven and very rough, but only when you look closely can you find that every protrusion is extremely sharp and sharp.
It is conceivable that if there is no mecha, fighting this big guy in close combat is just like facing a giant hedgehog, and there is no way to start.
And although the armored corpse is famous for its defense, it does not mean that it has no offensive power. The opponent's half-meter-long claws are the best proof.
Lin Xinghai was more and more frightened, feeling that this mutant zombie was too scary, and this was not just his conjecture.
Because as he kept getting closer, his own perception was constantly reminding him that if this thing in front of him was alive, a random claw could kill him.
Suddenly, Lin Xinghai's heart moved, and he opened the system panel, wanting to use the detection technique on the armored corpse in front of him.
But for the corpse, he didn't know if the detection technique could still be used?
And the fact proved that the system was very reliable.
The next moment, the system panel showed information.
Name: Armored
Corpse Physique: 1083 points
Strength: 872 points
Speed: 631 points
Notes: Thick stratum corneum can offset 50% of the damage.
Hiss!
Lin Xinghai instantly took a breath of cold air.
He re-read it several times, and after confirming that he had not read any numbers wrong, the smugness in his heart disappeared instantly.
He now understood more intuitively what the end of the world was.
If humans did not have mechas in their hands, they would not be able to resist these mutant zombies.
Next, Lin Xinghai neither helped nor left.
He just watched everyone busy in a daze. When
the armored zombies were covered with plastic film, moved into the warehouse, and then the door was welded and sealed, it was considered completed.
The team set off again, and the speed was obviously accelerated.
However, Lin Xinghai just sat silently in the multi-purpose off-road vehicle during the rest of the journey.
Qin Yang felt a little strange, but he did not ask much.
After all, Lin Xinghai had just broken through and awakened his superpowers. Maybe he was carefully experiencing his current state.
In this way, the team moved forward for about 20 minutes and finally arrived at the destination.
A perfect oval building appeared in the field of vision.
On the outer wall, the seven big characters "Spacecraft Research Institute" shone brightly under the refraction of the sun.
"We're here!"
Chapter 35 Entering
Lin Xinghai got out of the car and looked at the building in front of him with everyone else.
The quality of this spaceship research institute is quite good. This can be seen directly without testing.
Basically, the buildings that can be preserved in a disaster are of excellent quality, otherwise they would have collapsed long ago.
And from the appearance of this spaceship research institute, there is no major damage, which is quite rare.
Everyone found a relatively open place to gather, and Fang Tianhe also got off the mecha.
He looked around and went straight to the point and said: "According to the original plan, we will be divided into two teams here. One team will be led by me personally to go in and bring out the energy crystal."
"The other team will be led by Shen Han. When we encounter danger and ask for help, they will directly use micro-missiles to blast a passage and go in for rescue."
"Now, raise your hands if you are willing to follow me into the spaceship research institute. Of course, I have to explain first that people who go in will definitely be in greater danger."
"The energy crystals in the research institute are in an unstable state, and the energy radiation emitted interferes with our detectors, so we know nothing about the situation inside the research institute." Fang Tianhe said in a deep voice. Swish
!
A lot of people raised their hands, including Lin Xinghai.
After he left the shelter, he basically took a car, took a car and continued to take a car. Now he wanted to walk.
As for the danger, he had considered it, but he was not worried.
This was not because he was arrogant. How did the saying go... If two people met a man-eating tiger, you don't need to run faster than it, you just need to run faster than the person next to you.
Anyway, he has the ability of extreme speed, so he can't be the last one to run away.
Fang Tianhe saw that most of the people in front of him raised their hands. He couldn't take them all. Now there were only 17 people in the team. According to his estimation, forming a group of 8 people would be enough.
After a little contemplation, he selected several people in succession, which of course included Roger, Wu Yan and Xu Haishui. Soon there was only one spot left.
After thinking about it, he added Lin Xinghai.
How strong is the combat effectiveness of a mercenary? The degree of genetic optimization is only one aspect. After all, weapons are also very important, especially thermal weapons.
With Lin Xinghai's marksmanship and a ripper rifle, no one dared to underestimate his combat effectiveness.
Of course, the most important thing is that Lin Xinghai successfully promoted to a gene optimizer, and also awakened the super speed ability. He can protect himself when in danger and will not become a burden to the team.
After confirming the manpower, Fang Tianhe did not delay at all and led the team in.
He held a big knife in his right hand and a hand cannon in his left hand, and walked in the front.
The others quickly followed and spontaneously formed a defensive formation.
Lin Xinghai certainly didn't understand what a defensive formation was, but he didn't need to understand it. He just needed to follow Roger and stay in the middle of the team.
As a shooter with superb marksmanship, this should have been where he was.
The crowd did not choose to enter from the gate. After all, it was an alloy gate, and it was very difficult to pry it open.
They directly chose the nearest window. Without Fang Tianhe's instructions, a team member came forward and easily cut off the entire window frame with a shock dagger.
Everyone jumped in lightly. There was a long corridor inside, which was pitch black and no one knew where it led to.
Fang Tianhe did not seem to be surprised at all. He turned on the lighting system of his combat uniform and continued to lead the way.
Others followed suit. The lighting system of the combat uniform used some luminous fibers on the clothes to illuminate, so the light was not strong.
When everyone turned on the lighting system, it didn't affect vision much.
Everyone walked forward. The corridor was very long and dead silent, which made people feel creepy.
At least that's how Lin Xinghai felt. He even regretted following in.
But since he was already in, it was useless to regret it now. Lin Xinghai felt that he could find something to comfort his weak heart.
For example, to see Fang Tianhe's strength, which was what he wanted to do before, but he was always worried about wasting the free times of the detection technique, and hesitated again and again.
Ding!
As Lin Xinghai used the detection technique, the system panel in front of him immediately showed the corresponding information.
Name: Fang Tianhe
Constitution: 83 points
Strength: 97 points
Speed: 72 points
Genetic optimization level: 97%
Secondary ability: Sky Splitting (releases an energy with strong cutting properties, which can be attached to objects to enhance attack power.)
Seeing Fang Tianhe's genetic optimization level, Lin Xinghai was a little shocked.
Although he knew before that the opponent's gene optimization degree exceeded 90%, he didn't expect it to reach 97%, which is not far from 100%!
With such attributes, even if he encounters a high-level zombie, he can crush it all the way.
What surprised Lin Xinghai even more was that the opponent's ability was actually a level 2 ability, which was no wonder that the opponent's ability was so powerful.
However, the level 2 ability also proved from the side that Fang Tianhe missed an opportunity to upgrade his ability.
Otherwise, with a 90% gene optimization degree, theoretically, he could have a level 3 ability, which was also his goal.
There is a system that can cheat, so Lin Xinghai doesn't have to worry about the probability problem.
The only thing to worry about may be the blood power.
While he was thinking about these things, he found that Fang Tianhe, who was leading the team in front, stopped.
He glanced vigilantly and found that he was not in danger, but there was a fork in the road ahead.
One left! One right!
"Lao Luo, if it were you, which side would you choose?" Lin Xinghai always felt that the atmosphere was too depressing, so he said something to make conversation.
"Your question is meaningless. In this situation, only the captain can make the choice." Roger said. Seeing Lin Xinghai cast a contemptuous look at him, he knew what the other party was thinking.
He explained unhappily: "Don't think I'm flattering you. Now our detectors are all unusable. The only thing we can rely on is perception. But our perception range is too small, so we can only rely on the captain."
Lin Xinghai's heart moved when he heard it. He almost forgot about it. He
quickly closed his eyes and maximized his perception.
Soon he realized that in the depths of the corridor on the left, he had a vague sense of danger. He was not unfamiliar with this feeling. It was... zombies.
At this time, Fang Tianhe also made a choice. He did not choose the safe right side, but took the initiative to lead the team to the left.
Lin Xinghai moved his mouth, but in the end he said nothing and followed silently.
