41: Level 10
The Church Square had already become a zombie territory.
A sense of a dark cloud pressing down on the city immediately enveloped them.
The black tide of corpses was like a flood.
A dense, dark mass, roaring, surged from all directions.
"We can fight!" Lin Fei clenched his fists, a cold glint in his eyes, his Battle Intent soaring.
"If we fight, I shall follow!"
Lin Mengzi's expression was also firm as she replied.
Lin Fei was stunned.
What's wrong, big sister? Am I reciting 'Cao Gui on War' with you here?
"Didn't I respond well?"
Seeing Lin Feistunned, Lin Mengzi pursed her lips and smiled.
"Good! Excellent!"
Lin Fei smiled, then stomped his foot forcefully.
He charged into the tide of corpses like a cannonball shot from its barrel!
"Great Ice! Monument Breaking Hand!"
Without holding back, the icy blue palm shadow instantly bloomed!
After multiple uses, the proficiency of this skill had reached Lv2, increasing its power.
Terrifying cold air and power swept out.
The dozen or so zombies at the very front didn't even have a chance to react, instantly being smashed into ice-blue fragments that scattered everywhere!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Lin Fei was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep; every punch and kick contained immense power.
Ordinary zombies were as fragile as paper in front of him, their bones snapping and bodies exploding the moment of contact.
He didn't even bother using many techniques, purely relying on overwhelming strength and speed to carve a path of blood and flesh through the zombie tide.
All the zombies here were no different from foam in front of him.
All foam!
[Killed 15 Ordinary Infected, gained 1500 experience points.]
[Killed 8 Enhanced Infected, gained 1600 experience points.]
[Endless Source passive activated, Spell power increased by 31.]
Experience points and Spell power surged in like a tide.
"Go, all forces attack!" Lin Mengzi stood on the steps in front of the church, lightly pointing her Whispering Staff forward.
Roar!!!
The Undead Crocodile Demon roared and charged, its massive body crashing through, its sharp claws tearing apart several zombies with each swing!
Whoosh—buzz buzz buzz!!!
The Undead Chainsaw Butcher followed closely, its high-speed rotating chainsaw creating an ear-piercing noise and splashing blood and flesh, like a mobile meat grinder.
Wherever it passed, severed limbs flew!
The other dozen or so Undead Counter-Terrorist Elite and Undead Hounds also performed their duties, precise shooting, swift pouncing, cooperatively harvesting the lives of the zombies.
[Absorbed Soul Shard, Spell power increased by 1.]
[Absorbed Soul Shard, Spell power increased by 1.]
Lin Mengzi's Spell power continuously increased.
475 points!
500 points!
530 points!
Both she and Lin Fei grew stronger the more they fought.
The combat power of these undead far exceeded their living selves; ordinary zombies were simply no match for them.
...
The siblings, one like a berserk War God, charging head-on through the zombie tide.
The other, an elegant Netherworld Commander.
Directing the undead army.
Their efficiency was astounding!
Although the number of zombies was vast, they rapidly dwindled before them, like a receding tide.
Xu Zhengyang, Zhou Kai, and the others hiding in the distance watched with pounding hearts and surging excitement.
"So strong!" Li Feng's voice trembled.
"This isn't a battle at all, it's a one-sided slaughter!" Zhao Gang murmured.
Zhou Kai took a deep breath, his eyes complex: "The gap between us and them is even greater than the gap between Tyson and Taro!"
"Insightful!"
Xu Zhengyang gave a thumbs up.
His eyes were filled with admiration and excitement: "Boss and Sister-in-law are simply gods descended to earth!"
He was probably the happiest one here, because as Lin Fei's teammate, he also enjoyed the same experience points.
Suddenly.
"Hoo—!!!"
Two unusually loud roars came from behind the zombie tide!
Two zombies, far larger than ordinary ones, with scales on their bodies and bone spurs extending from their joints.
One spat green venom, the other's arms mutated into bone blades.
They were both elite zombies, with large green names displayed above their heads.
As soon as these two zombies appeared, they pushed aside the blocking ordinary zombies.
They broke through the zombie tide and charged fiercely towards Lin Fei!
These were elite monsters never seen before!
[Venom Spitting Warrior Lv5 (Elite Monster)]
[Bone Blade Ripper Lv5 (Elite Monster)]
"Perfect timing!"
Lin Fei was not surprised, but rather pleased.
Having killed so many up to now, with a massive influx of experience points, he had already risen to just over Level 9!
And his Spell power had reached 610 points.
Skills in the skill tree required skill points to upgrade.
Lin Fei didn't hesitate, investing two skill points into the [Icy Arrow] branch again!
[Ice Arrow Volley upgraded to Lv2, probability of triggering a second extra Icy Arrow increased to 75%, with a 25% chance of triggering a third extra Icy Arrow!]
[Dual Wield Lv1, can simultaneously cast Icy Arrows with both hands.]
After learning them.
Lin Fei immediately had a flash of inspiration, and the Ice elemental magic power circulation within his body brightened!
Lin Fei raised both hands simultaneously!
His fingertips glowed.
Da da da da da da da da...
Superspeed Icy Arrow, twice as dense as before, poured out furiously from his fingertips like two blue torrents of death!
The two aggressively charging elite zombies were instantly engulfed in the dense storm of Icy Arrows!
Puff puff puff puff!
They shielded themselves with their hands, their scales instantly torn open.
In the face of the arrow rain, imbued with holy damage and higher ice damage, they were easily ripped apart like tofu!
The freezing effect was triggered frequently!
The two elite monsters were practically unable to move, and within a few seconds, they were shot into two ice sculptures riddled with holes, then shattered with a crash!
[Killed Elite Infected - Venom Spitting Warrior, gained 1200 experience points.]
[Killed Elite Infected - Bone Blade Ripper, gained 1200 experience points.]
[Endless Source passive activated, Spell power increased by 25.]
"Rise." Seeing this, Lin Mengzi immediately raised her hand, pointing her staff at the two shattered corpses.
Dense black Qi surged out, enveloping them.
Moments later, two undead elites, whose Aura was even colder and more powerful, respectfully stood among the undead army.
"Two more powerful enforcers!" Lin Mengzi smiled with satisfaction.
With the addition of the last two elite monsters, the remaining ordinary zombies were even more like mere chickens and dogs.
A few more minutes passed, and the roars in the Church Square gradually subsided.
The ground was covered with zombie remains and ice shards.
Lin Fei and Lin Mengzi once again glowed with the golden light of leveling up!
[Rank increased! Current Rank Lv10!]
Lin Mengzi also reached Lv10.
And Xu Zhengyang, who had been in a team and shared a large amount of experience points, also burst forth with a dazzling golden light!
[Rank increased! Current Rank Lv9!]
"Holy moly! I'm Lv9!" Xu Zhengyang looked at the extra skill points, his voice trembling with excitement.
"Thank you, Boss! Thank you, Sister-in-law!"
This was a super-fast leveling experience he had never felt before!
He felt like he was on a rocket!
Soaring straight into the clouds.
After clearing all the zombies from the scene.
Lin Fei glanced at his Spell power.
It was already 810 points!
Then, he picked up the items dropped by the monsters.
[Gained 135231 killing coins.]
[Gained Map Shard * 2.]
"Adding the one dropped by the Chainsaw Butcher and the one collected from the Blackwater Squad, the shards are complete." Lin Fei combined the four map shards of different materials and styles.
A flash of light, and complete map information merged into his mind.
[Obtained complete map information: Dr. Allen is trapped in the Underground Laboratory of the Mental Hospital north of the town.]
"Mental Hospital? Underground Laboratory!" Lin Mengzi leaned over to take a look.
"These two together don't sound like a good place."
"The map shows that to go to the Mental Hospital, we must pass through the Police Station." Lin Fei pointed at the route on the map, "And there's a Boss marker at the Police Station."
"Let's go to the Police Station first," Lin Mengzi said. "While we're at it, we can take care of that Boss and see what good stuff it drops."
"I was thinking the same thing." Lin Fei nodded. "Maybe we can find more clues about the traps in the Police Station."
He looked at the four captives hanging from the top of the tower, their breath barely perceptible.
"These useless guys are no longer of any use."
"I've got you memorized! You just wait, this isn't over!" The Blackwater Second Squad Captain was furious, gritting his teeth, trying to engrave Lin Fei and Lin Mengzi's faces into his memory.
Lin Fei raised his hand, and several Icy Arrows shot out, precisely ending their suffering.
[You killed player Blackwater Liu Neng, gained 31000 killing coins.]
[You killed player Blackwater Guang Kun, gained 7680 killing coins.]
...
When those people died, four boxes appeared on the spot with a 'plop'.
"Zheng Yang, you guys can divide the boxes from their bodies."
"Yes, Boss!" Xu Zhengyang excitedly ran over and began to loot the spoils.
He put on the Second Squad Captain's entire set of equipment: an Advanced Chest Rig, a Level 4 Large Backpack, a finely calibrated and modified Grenade Launcher, and a Level 3 helmet and armor.
After loading Level 3 Bullets, Xu Zhengyang's combat power also soared significantly.
Xu Zhengyang's marksmanship was already accurate, and once he also got a profession book, he would be able to play an even greater role.
Lin Fei then walked towards Zhou Kai: "Captain Zhou, there might be traps in the Police Station, do you still want to follow?"
Zhou Kai didn't hesitate: "Mr. Lin being willing to take us is already a great kindness! Through mountains of swords and seas of fire, we will follow!"
Li Feng and Zhao Gang also nodded vigorously: "That's right! Following Mr. Lin means good fortune!"
"Alright." Lin Fei said no more.
These few people also had some use; zombies were still very bad at gathering intelligence and data.
When they went to the Police Station, the three of them could enter various rooms to help him find some information.
"Find two cars, prepare to depart," Lin Fei commanded.
Zhou Kai and Xu Zhengyang immediately went to look for them.
Meanwhile, Lin Fei also looked at his Mage Skill Tree.
After reaching Level 10, he could learn a new Mage skill!
