39: Sneak Attack

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

A rain of blue arrows flew, knocking down zombies one after another.

【 You have killed 3 Common Infected, gaining 300 EXP. 】

【 Endless Source effect activated, gaining 3 Spell Power. 】

Soon enough.

The zombies in this area had been mostly cleared out by Lin Fei.

The grinding efficiency of Lin Fei and Lin Mengzi dropped.

The zombies in the town were scattered, requiring time to search for them.

"Lin Fei, let's split up to grind; it'll be more efficient."

"Then, Sister, don't forget to keep your Bone Shield skill active, and make sure the shield generator I gave you is turned on too," Lin Fei urged.

It wasn't just zombies here; there were several other hostile squads as well.

"Mhm, don't worry, your sister isn't a child anymore." Lin Mengzi felt a warmth in her heart.

To stack Spell Power and gain EXP faster, the two temporarily separated.

Each was responsible for an area.

Lin Mengzi said, "Meet at the church square in half an hour."

"Got it!"

Lin Fei made an 'okay' gesture.

Relying on Blink and his extremely high movement speed.

He immediately moved like a ghost, weaving through the dilapidated buildings of the town.

"Next time I come in, I should bring a speaker."

Like farming stacks, Lin Fei killed the zombies he found one by one.

His Spell Power increased steadily.

It was just a bit monotonous.

Lin Mengzi commanded her undead legion, conducting a carpet search house by house.

Meanwhile.

The captain of the Blackwater Security's second team, that mercenary with the slicked-back hair, was searching the town's commercial street area with two team members and the allied assassin squad.

"Where is Captain Barton?" the assassin captain asked.

"We gathered some intel. The captain found an off-road vehicle and took the Mage team to the Police Station."

"Is that so! Has that kid been found yet? He should have quite a few killing coins on him," the assassin hidden in a hood said with a sinister laugh.

The second team captain curled his lip: "Haven't found him! I'm looking too. If I find him, I'll definitely shoot off his left leg, then his right, and then his third leg."

"I want him to know that there are some people he can't afford to provoke."

The assassin laughed: "Let's hope we can find him."

They were lucky and found some scattered supplies and a few thousand killing coins.

They also found a map fragment on the second floor of a locked gun shop.

"Hey, have you noticed? The monsters in this godforsaken place seem to have decreased!" a Blackwater member carrying a gun suddenly said.

"Isn't it good that there are fewer? Saves some ammo."

The second team captain sneered, "I guess these brainless things know how to get tired too and went to clock out for sleep, hehe ha."

The younger assassin member nearby shook his head: "That's not it! Captain. When I was coming over just now, I saw two groups of zombies fighting each other at the street corner. They were biting each other, it was super fierce!"

"I saw it too when I was searching for resources. There was a Chainsaw Butcher acting like a maniac, chasing and hacking other zombies!" one person said with lingering fear.

"Huh? Zombies fighting each other?" The captain paused, then let out an even more disdainful laugh.

"These idiots, they can't even rest in peace after death, they deserve it! It's good, let them kill each other, saves us the trouble."

The female assassin had sharp eyes and suddenly pointed at the entrance of a two-story building not far away.

"Look over there! Isn't that girl the one who was with that kid before!"

The assassin squad had good luck in the last trial, completing a mission that allowed all members to change classes into white-tier common assassins.

Because of this, even without strong firepower, they had the guts to challenge the third-floor high-difficulty trial.

Everyone looked in the direction she pointed.

Indeed, they saw Lin Mengzi standing in front of a house, with no one else around her.

Lin Mengzi had sent most of her undead out to automatically clear the surrounding area.

"Hehe! There's an old Eastern saying: 'The path seemed to end, but it was found without any effort.'"

A flash of greed and ruthlessness crossed the eyes of the Blackwater second team captain.

"That kid must be nearby! Perfect, let's take this woman down first! Then we'll force that kid to hand over the good stuff he has on him!"

"Captain is wise!" the male assassin smiled cruelly.

"Right! Catch her and force that kid to submit!"

The team members chimed in one after another, excitement on their faces.

As if they had already cornered Lin Fei and were about to make him hand over his killing coins and items.

"That assassin, you're fast, circle around from the roof and prepare for a sneak attack! We'll fire cold shots! If that fails, you go in for the finishing blow!"

People from Blackwater believed that either you don't strike, or if you do, you must kill.

The captain quickly issued a series of tactical orders.

"Understood! My poisoned blade guarantees she won't be able to move a muscle for a whole day!"

The male assassin nodded, his figure as agile as a civet cat, disappearing into the shadows of the nearby buildings in a few leaps.

He crept silently toward the roof where Lin Mengzi was.

The Blackwater captain hid inside a house, found a high vantage point, and secretly raised his gun toward Lin Mengzi.

Lin Mengzi had just leveled up and was pondering which skill point to add.

She didn't notice the danger approaching at all.

"Do it!" the captain hissed.

Bang!

Three muffled gunshots broke the silence!

The bullets, fired at a tricky angle, flew straight toward Lin Mengzi's exposed lower legs!

They clearly wanted to injure Lin Mengzi first to make her lose her mobility.

However, the moment the bullets were about to hit! Hum!

Three rotating Bone Shields appeared out of thin air, accurately blocking the trajectory of the three bullets!

Clang!

The bullets hit the Bone Shield and were easily deflected, not even leaving a scratch.

Lin Mengzi had kept her Bone Shield active; it was just that when not under attack for a certain period, the visual effect would hide itself.

"What?!" The Blackwater captain's pupils contracted.

Lin Mengzi turned her head sharply, frowning. She instantly locked onto the direction the gunshots came from, her pretty face covered in frost.

"You're courting death!"

Just then, the male assassin who had been lying in ambush on the roof seized the opportunity.

He pounced down like a cheetah, the poisoned dagger in his hand flashing with a ghostly green light, stabbing straight at Lin Mengzi's back!

He had calculated the moment Lin Mengzi's attention was drawn by the gunshots to launch an impeccable strike!

Unfortunately, he was fast.

Someone was faster than him!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Three ice-blue arrows, carrying bone-chilling cold, tore through the air, arriving before the strike could land!

They pinned the male assassin with pinpoint accuracy!

"Arghhh!!!" The male assassin let out a shrill scream, and the powerful impact pinned him directly to the wall behind him!

Frost quickly spread from the wounds, freezing him firmly to the wall, unable to move.

His eyes were filled with horror.

Lin Fei's figure flashed, appearing beside Lin Mengzi.

He had just finished clearing an area and came to rendezvous with his sister.

Although his sister wouldn't have been killed by a sneak attack, after all, Lin Mengzi's Bone Shield hadn't been broken.

And, with just a flick of her finger, she could immediately summon her elite undead back.

But seeing someone plotting against his sister still annoyed Lin Fei.

He swept his cold gaze toward the direction where the Blackwater squad was hiding: "Damn Blackwater, messing with my sister, I think you're tired of living."

"These two guys are tough!"

"Retreat first?! They might be Advanced professionals!"

The Blackwater second team captain was terrified, a chill shooting from the soles of his feet straight to his scalp.

At this moment, he finally understood why Lin Fei and Lin Mengzi had so many killing coins.

And hadn't brought much equipment when coming to the trial world.

Because they were Advanced professionals!

"Retreat! Retreat!"

He reacted extremely quickly, turning around and wanting to take his team members to escape.

But it was already too late.

Lin Mengzi raised a hand.

Two elite units were summoned by her, plus three undead hounds.

She could now summon five undead at once.

Woo—buzz buzz buzz!!!

The sound of a chainsaw roared.

The massive figure of the Undead Chainsaw Butcher blocked the front door of the house.

Roar!!!

On the other side, at the back door.

The Undead Crocodile Demon also let out a soul-shaking roar.

Pincer attack from front and back, retreat cut off!

The three members of the Blackwater squad and the two assassins instantly felt like they had fallen into an ice cave, their faces turning pale.

Their bodies couldn't help but tremble.

"The elite zombies we saw earlier were actually summoned by that woman!"

"No way! How could this happen!"

They were completely stunned, ten times more shocked than any spicy food could cause!

"Oh my god! We shouldn't have provoked them!" a female assassin said, her voice trembling, her hand holding the dagger going limp.

"We're done for!"

The second team captain's facial muscles twitched.

Cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

He never imagined that a seemingly weak girl could summon such terrifying monsters!

He even less imagined that the kid they regarded as a fat sheep.

Was actually this strong.

He had crippled their top assassin without even giving them time to react!
