58: Devil's torture
Inside the Pyramid, the passageways were deep and gloomy.
The walls were carved with ancient hieroglyphs.
"There are too many fork roads in here."
Lin Mengzi walked in the middle, her Whispering Wand grasped in her hand.
Her army of undead proved useful at this moment.
Five ghost hounds, like silent shadows, nimbly scouted the path ahead. Their blue soul-fires flickered in the darkness, constantly feeding back information about the surrounding environment.
The massive body of the Undead Crocodile Demon blocked the rear, serving as a solid shield.
And that strange undead infant had shrunk its body and was floating beside her.
Its chubby white hands waved unconsciously, curiously observing its surroundings.
After being turned into an undead, this little fellow seemed to retain some of its characteristics from when it was alive. It was still sensitive to the sound of a rattle-drum, but other than that, it appeared somewhat dazed and cute.
As for the other undead, she had them stored in her Undead Space, ready to be summoned at any time.
Passing through a long, narrow corridor, the path ahead suddenly opened up.
This was a reasonably spacious stone chamber. Scattered around were several dust-covered pottery jars and stone coffins. In the center stood a stone altar, and something seemed to be placed on top of it.
【You have discovered an Ancient Sacrificial Chamber.】
"A discovery!" Lin Mengzi's eyes lit up, and she walked forward quickly.
On the altar, a primitive bronze box lay quietly. The surface of the box was carved with patterns of the sun and vultures.
She carefully opened the box.
Dazzling light shot out from within!
Inside the box lay three crystal-clear, diamond-shaped crystals the size of pigeon eggs, with what looked like liquid golden light slowly flowing inside them.
【Discovered rare item: Sun God's Blessing x3 (Enchantment Stone)】
【Effect: After use, it can enchant equipment, increasing Holy Light attribute damage by 20%.】
"Good stuff!" Lin Mengzi happily put away the three crystals.
This was a powerful item.
Just as Lin Mengzi was searching for supplies everywhere, in the main hall at the center of the Pyramid.
The battle had already reached a white-hot stage.
The interior of the main hall was even more magnificent than imagined.
Huge stone pillars supported the dome, and the walls were covered with murals and hieroglyphs in ancient Egyptian style, though most had been eroded by time and battle until they were blurry.
In the center was a huge platform that extended upwards, forming several stepped defensive positions.
At this moment, dozens of surviving human players were occupying the highest platform.
Looking down from a commanding height, they used cover and heavy firepower to madly pour fire onto the zombie players below.
"Fire in the— BOOM!"
A high-explosive fragmentation grenade was thrown into the zombie horde. With a loud boom, a pink heart-shaped explosion cloud appeared.
The grenade with special effects had even greater power!
"Hold all the choke points!"
"Throw an oil barrel down the stairs; don't let them jump up!"
"I'm reloading! Someone cover me!"
"Medic! Give me some healing!"
"Save me! Save me!" A downed player kept doing sit-ups.
Although the human faction had been strengthened multiple times by the beacon and their attributes had greatly increased.
The zombie players were fearless in the face of death, numerous, and led by evolved forms, so their offensive remained fierce.
Lin Fei, leading Xu Zhengyang and Xu Sanduo, had just stepped into the gate of the Pyramid when a few wandering zombies pounced on them.
Bang! Bang! Rat-tat-tat!
Xu Zhengyang reacted extremely quickly, activating the class skill of the Gunfire Master.
The flame-painted M4A1 in his hands spat tongues of fire, accurately point-shooting and headshotting the pouncing zombies one by one.
Xu Sanduo also held the sniper rifle he had just captured, loaded it with level 5 ammo, and supported the flank, taking out one with each shot.
"Boss, the fighting up there is intense!"
Xu Zhengyang said while clearing the approaching zombies, looking up at the high platform.
Just then, a few streams of energy projectile fire from the high platform suddenly deviated significantly in direction.
The bullets whistled as they shot directly toward Lin Fei and his two companions!
"Damn it! Which bastard is shooting blindly!" Xu Zhengyang cursed angrily and hurriedly pulled Xu Sanduo to hide behind a stone pillar.
Lin Fei's eyes turned cold as he looked up.
He saw that on the high platform, Zhang Hao, with his purple hair and white bangs, was grinning hideously while holding a sci-fi-looking energy rifle, firing wildly in their direction.
"Lin Fei! Aren't you very arrogant?"
"Throw gas barrels and block their path!"
Zhang Hao shouted crazily while shooting, "You piece of trash! How dare you provoke this young master? Get lost and turn into a zombie!"
The three teammates beside him also turned their guns to assist him in suppressing fire.
Obviously, in Zhang Hao's view, taking advantage of Lin Fei's unstable footing and the distraction of the zombies was the perfect opportunity to eliminate this thorn in his side.
"You really like courting death!"
Lin Fei looked up.
Hum!
His figure suddenly blurred, and the next instant, he appeared like a ghost on the high platform, right in front of Zhang Hao!
"What the hell?!"
The hideous grin on Zhang Hao's face instantly froze.
He hadn't even seen how Lin Fei got up there!
The extreme speed left him with no time to react!
Lin Fei's movements were simple and swift, without any unnecessary flair.
His right leg lashed out like a steel whip!
Snap!
A crisp sound of bone cracking rang out!
Zhang Hao felt a piercing pain in both his knees, and he fell backward uncontrollably.
"Ahhh!! My legs!"
He let out a pig-slaughtering scream, his face twisted in agony.
However, this was just the beginning.
Lin Fei didn't just punch him to death immediately.
Because he had said he would use the most brutal methods to torture him.
Lin Fei's terrifying Physical Body simply ignored the bullets from Zhang Hao's teammates.
He lifted his foot and stepped precisely onto the elbow joint of Zhang Hao's right arm!
Snap!
"Ugh, ahhh—!!! My right hand!"
With a crisp sound of shattering bone, Zhang Hao's eyes turned blood-red, and he let out an even more shrill scream.
"Aren't you a buddy? Are you a damn talking machine?"
"Wherever I hit you, you scream?" Lin Fei raised his eyebrows and said.
As soon as this sentence came out, it almost made Zhang Hao smoke with rage.
You're the talking machine!
Your whole family is a talking machine!!!
"Guess where I'm going to step next?"
Lin Fei lifted a foot, his sole facing Zhang Hao, and asked.
"Lin Fei!!! You are going too far!!"
"Wrong answer, zero points."
Snap!
One stomp down.
Zhang Hao's left arm shattered with a snap, and his sleeve hung down empty.
Blood sprayed out!
Zhang Hao cried out for his parents in pain.
"Guess again!!!" Lin Fei asked, deepening his voice like a demon.
"Right foot, it's the right foot! You're going to step on my right foot!"
Although dying in here didn't matter, the pain was real!
With one stomp, his bones were crushed into shards. Zhang Hao was in so much pain he was starting to doubt life.
He rolled his eyes and shouted.
"You guessed right." Lin Fei grinned wickedly: "I'll reward you with! Misfortunes never come singly!"
Snap! Snap!
Right ankle!
Right knee!
Two snaps as they shattered!
Zhang Hao's fair-weather friends watched from the side, shocked and terrified, not daring to come up and intervene.
Lin Fei was too terrifying!
He subdued Zhang Hao in one move, and bullets were completely useless against him.
Then, the left ankle!
Snap!
Lin Fei, as if crushing a biscuit, easily snapped and crushed Zhang Hao's limb joints one by one!
Crushing them into mush.
The entire process was smooth as flowing water, even carrying a sense of rhythm.
"Ahhhhh!! You bastard!"
"You are torturing me, aren't you!!"
Zhang Hao screamed. His vitality had reached 4.6, which was the only reason he hadn't fainted on the spot.
He curled up on the ground, his whole body twitching, cold sweat soaking his clothes.
He couldn't figure out at all what class Lin Fei had changed into.
His own purple-grade class, which he was so proud of, was so vulnerable in front of him!
The three teammates beside Zhang Hao, seeing this scene, were already so scared that their souls flew away and spirits scattered.
Subsequently, Lin Fei raised a hand, and three Icy Arrows shot out.
Even if they raised their alloy shields, it was useless.
The titanium shields were directly torn open.
The Icy Arrows pierced their bodies, and they died immediately.
Other human players on the high platform who were resisting the zombies witnessed this cruel scene and subconsciously gulped.
The look in their eyes as they gazed at Lin Fei was full of fear.
This person named Lin Fei was a terrifying existence that absolutely must not be provoked.
Xu Zhengyang and Xu Sanduo finished clearing the nearby zombies, stepped onto the stairs, and then used a grappling hook to quickly rush onto the high platform.
"Boss!"
"Throw him down."
"Yes."
Xu Zhengyang didn't hesitate, stepped forward, and like picking up a chick, lifted up Zhang Hao, who was limp as mud and left only with gasps and whimpers.
"Go down with you!"
Xu Zhengyang swung his arm with force, throwing Zhang Hao directly off the high platform!
Thump!
Like a broken sack, he fell heavily into the crowded zombie horde below!
"Roar!!!"
Smelling the scent of fresh flesh, the zombies that were originally attacking the high platform were instantly attracted. Like sharks smelling blood, they madly pounced toward where Zhang Hao had landed!
"No! Don't! Get away! Ahhh—!!!"
Zhang Hao let out a scream of utter despair, watching helplessly as countless foul-smelling mouths filled with fangs tore at his body!
The excruciating pain of being torn apart instantly spread throughout his body!
In less than two minutes.
Zhang Hao died, and a box burst out from his body.
Xu Zhengyang used his grappling hook to grab it and pulled the box directly onto the high platform.
Now that Lin Fei had killed the person, even if there were others at the scene coveting Zhang Hao's gear, they wouldn't dare to snatch it!
Xu Zhengyang said excitedly: "Boss, this Zhang Hao, and his teammates' boxes, have quite a lot of good stuff inside!"
Lin Fei: "Put the good stuff away, and wait until we get out for you all to use."
"Yes! Boss!"
Subsequently, below.
The dead Zhang Hao woke up again in a field of scarlet vision.
He could feel his body becoming abnormally strong, filled with the desire for destruction.
But he had lost his reason, leaving only a bone-deep hatred for the man who had snapped his limbs, all the players at the scene, and the man who had thrown him into the zombie horde!
"Roar! Lin Fei, I will destroy you!"
He let out a roar that did not sound like a human.
At this moment, he had become a member of the infected faction.
But Lin Fei didn't even give him a second glance.
He just raised a hand casually.
Aiming at Zhang Hao.
"Biu!"
An Icy Arrow shot over.
Bang!
The sound of a watermelon bursting rang out.
Zhang Hao's head, along with his unrealistic thoughts of revenge, were shattered by the piercing shot, turning into a puddle of filth.
