59: Remove the firewood from under the cauldron

【System Prompt: The rescue vehicle will arrive in half an hour! Please ensure your squad survives until then!】

【Current Faction: Human (26), Zombie (74)】

Lin Fei looked down at the zombies that kept trying to approach, only to be blasted to pieces.

With the bonuses from the nine beacons, the overall attributes of the human faction had increased by 1.8 times, making their firepower output and defensive capabilities terrifyingly strong.

As long as no major accidents occurred, holding out for this final half-hour should not be a problem.

"Help me! Oh, damn it! Help me! Pull me up!"

A shrill cry for help came from the entrance of the main hall.

Everyone looked towards the sound and saw a player wearing desert camouflage being chased by a few zombies.

"It's Monkey! Quick! Pull him up!" A player on the high platform, also wearing desert camouflage, recognized the person calling for help as his teammate.

He hurriedly shouted and pulled a rope out of his backpack, throwing it downward.

Seeing the rope, the Monkey below had a glint of survival light up in his eyes.

He grabbed the rope and climbed upward with agile movements.

"Hurry! The zombies are catching up!"

The teammates on the high platform reached out one after another, scrambling to pull Monkey onto the platform.

"Thanks, brothers!" Monkey panted, his face showing the gratitude of someone who had just survived a disaster.

However, the moment he stood firm, the look of gratitude on his face suddenly vanished.

It was replaced by a distorted and hideous smile, baring fangs!

His hands lunged out, his fingernails instantly turning pitch-black and sharp, clawing fiercely at the two teammates closest to him!

Riiip!

The bulletproof vest was easily torn open as if it were made of paper, and the sharp claws embedded deeply into the flesh of those two players!

Black veins spread from the wounds at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"What the hell! Monkey, what are you doing!"

"Aaaaaah!"

The two attacked players let out astonished screams, attempting to fight back.

But their bodies had already begun to twitch uncontrollably, their skin rapidly turning grey, and their pupils glowing with an unnatural red light.

On that platform, the last player in camouflage, who was Monkey's teammate, raised his gun in shock and anger.

"Hehehe..." The infected disguised as Monkey let out a strange laugh, his voice becoming hoarse and unpleasant.

"Idiots! Your teammate was already infected by me!"

Without a moment's hesitation, he took advantage of everyone's shock to pounce on other players nearby again!

"Quick! Antidote!" Someone reacted and hurriedly pulled out a potion.

But it was already too late!

The infection speed was extremely fast; within just a few seconds, the two who had been scratched had completely transformed, roaring as they joined the ranks of the attackers!

To make matters worse, just as the platform was in chaos.

A few blurred stealth zombies climbed up silently from the shadows at the edge of the platform like ghosts!

These were stealth-type infected players who had been hiding in the dark, waiting for the best moment to launch a surprise attack!

Stab! Stab!

Poison-coated daggers with a faint glow sliced through the air and precisely stabbed into the backs of several human players who were firing in a panic or attempting to rescue others!

"Watch your back!"

"It's a stealth infected!"

The defensive formation on the platform was instantly thrown into disarray!

Surprise attacks, betrayal, and rapid infection transformation brought the originally stable defense line to the brink of collapse.

The number of human players was decreasing rapidly.

"Hahaha! Kill them! Even if we can't kill that perverted mage, as long as we infect all the humans, victory is ours!" A zombie leader with a higher degree of evolution roared excitedly from below.

Commanding the zombie horde to charge the high platform even more crazily.

Other zombie players understood this logic too, and the offensive became increasingly fierce, desperately trying to rush onto the platform to spread the infection at any cost.

Xu Zhengyang and Xu Sanduo reacted immediately, turning their gun barrels to try and stop the newly appeared infected and stealth units.

Rat-tat-tat! Bang!

Gunshots and screams intertwined, and the platform was in chaos.

Lin Fei frowned slightly; these zombie players were quite crafty.

They actually used undercover and stealth surprise attack tactics.

With a thought, he raised his hand and fired several ice arrows at the guy who had initially disguised himself as "Monkey," as well as a few stealth infected who had just climbed up.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The ice-blue arrows were extremely precise.

The disguised person who was still grinning had his head instantly explode, turning into ice shards.

Several stealth units were also frozen in place and subsequently shattered by the ice arrows that followed Lin Fei's attack.

Although Lin Fei's actions quickly cleared away the most threatening targets, the chaos had already been caused.

Several human players were unfortunately transformed and were now roaring as they lunged at their former teammates.

The number of surviving human players on the platform had plummeted, leaving fewer than twenty.

This included the few teams that maintained their complete formation, such as Lin Fei's squad and the Gale Squad.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Although Lin Fei and his squad were in this hundred-person battlefield.

Their points were undoubtedly ranked at the forefront.

When they went out for the final settlement, the rewards would definitely not be bad.

But Lin Fei was a person who did not like to lose.

"Want to beat me?"

Lin Fei immediately raised his hand and swept through a wave.

He killed a few more zombies.

However, his ice arrows did not have infinite range.

Increasing magic power could only increase damage, not range.

To increase range, one had to rely on equipment and talents.

But the most troublesome ones were the zombies that could turn invisible.

When they jumped, although the ghost image of their bodies would first show a silhouette, it was still very hard to see clearly amidst the massive amount of gunfire and explosives.

This couldn't go on.

It would be hard to hold out until the evacuation plane arrived.

Lin Fei thought for a moment and decided to just go all the way.

"Let's just destroy all these access paths to the high platform!" Lin Fei said.

Xu Zhengyang said in astonishment, "But Boss, Sister-in-law hasn't come up yet!"

"And those platforms are extremely sturdy; they've withstood many waves of artillery fire and are still fine!"

Lin Fei frowned, "When Sister appears later, I will bring her up. Let me try, Extreme Icefall!"

Lin Fei raised his hand again; this time, the magic power he channeled was even more massive!

Boom!

Inside the top of the Pyramid.

A ghostly blue cold light was several times brighter than before!

A massive ice meteorite, with a diameter expanded to nearly two meters, its surface covered in even more hideous ice crystal spikes, exuded a chill capable of freezing the Soul!

Trailing a brilliant ice-blue exhaust flame, it crashed down!

The target it crashed into was not the zombie horde below.

But the only intact stone passage connecting the high platform to the ground beneath everyone's feet!

Rumble!!!

A deafening roar echoed throughout the main hall, even drowning out the gunshots and the roars of the zombies!

The terrifying impact caused the entire high platform to shake violently.

Dust filled the air, and gravel flew everywhere!

The sturdy stone path hit directly by the ice meteorite was like a biscuit struck by a giant hammer.

It instantly collapsed and shattered!

Broken stone blocks mixed with ice shards poured down like a waterfall.

"What the hell!"

"This! This! This is!"

On the high platform, except for Lin Fei's squad, all the surviving human players were stunned by this sudden turn of events.

Looking at the bottomless, cold-mist-filled break beneath their feet, and then at the composed Lin Fei, they had only one thought in their minds—a ruthless person!

Too ruthless!

The platform that everyone's dozens of rounds of firepower couldn't break was actually blown up by his one Extreme Icefall?

But wouldn't this cut off their own retreat?

Although it completely cut off the possibility of zombies coming up, if they couldn't evacuate, wouldn't everyone be trapped here to die?

The zombie horde below, looking at the completely collapsed passage, also fell into a state of confusion.

They raised their heads, letting out unwilling and angry low roars, but they could no longer climb up a single bit.

The highest platform was seventy or eighty meters high.

There was absolutely no way to jump up!

They waved their claws below, completely desperate.

"Damn! How can that platform be destroyed!"

"How is this supposed to let us get up? This is unfair!"

"Damn it, you human faction are cheating!" The players of the zombie faction cursed loudly.

"Boss, this move of yours to cut off the fuel from the cauldron is brilliant!" Xu Zhengyang was impressed to the point of prostration.

Now it was completely safe; even if a Boss spawned below, as long as it couldn't fly, it couldn't do anything to them.

"It's completely safe this time."

"Hahaha! We can farm points in peace now!" The human faction players on the high platform said with great joy.

Killing zombies could also earn a small amount of points.

Just at this moment, Lin Fei's gaze turned towards the entrance of the main hall.

"Sister is back."

Lin Mengzi was seen running in from outside with an army of the undead; she was carrying a bulging backpack, clearly having looted quite a few good things.

By her side, summoned creatures like the Undead Crocodile Demon and Undead Infant were loyally guarding her.
