486: Barnett, dead
Time arrived in the afternoon.
At this moment, the accumulated dark clouds in the sky became thicker.
The sweeping bloody wind and waves, carrying a large number of rotten leaves, foretold the coming heavy rain.
After the break time passed, the atmosphere in the square gradually became serious.
Barnett, first up.
The Referee on the stage looked at the proud-faced A Man among the more than twenty qualifiers.
This was one of the three recognized strongest evolved Humans in the United States.
Subtly, he was also the strongest among the three.
Being the first to enter the arena also gave a shot of adrenaline to everyone who was watching this scene.
Walking out from the crowd.
Barnett turned his head and glanced at Zhao Ling in the crowd.
Before, he had considered Zhao Ling a rival, but after understanding that guy's 'character', he disdained speaking to him.
He then turned to look at the other side, at Nie Fangping, who was subtly the strongest among all the evolved Humans.
"To reach the other side of the City, how long would it take you?"
Barnett asked Nie Fangping.
Hearing this, everyone else's gaze instantly focused.
They swept back and forth between the two, subtly sensing Barnett's fighting intent towards Nie Fangping.
And Nie Fangping, hearing this, glanced at the camera in his face and said calmly, "It should take quite some time."
This answer drew a slight look of disdain from Barnett.
"Within twenty minutes, I will break through."
"I hope you can be the only one to break my record!"
After speaking, as the A Man's long platinum hair flew, he walked towards the City entrance with a brisk pace.
"Is this the existence of one of the biggest favorites for the Savior election? To break through Bear City in twenty minutes? How arrogant!"
"However, he himself possesses the strength for such arrogance!"
While many evolved Humans were pondering to themselves, they also developed some curiosity about how Barnett would clear the stage.
And across the globe, the vast majority of Survivors watching this live broadcast were cheering with fervent excitement.
Looking at Barnett, who was like a newborn calf, Nie Fangping's gaze shifted somewhat strangely to the four Zombie Civilization spies on the other side, who had mocking smiles on their lips.
"Timing, start!"
As the Referee's words fell, Barnett, standing outside the dilapidated City and looking at the large group of Zombies in the City ahead, caused a burst of air waves to explode beneath his feet!
Under the reinforcement of the Gene Serum, Barnett, whose physique was extremely strong, instantly crossed over ten meters and sped forward!
"Boom boom boom!"
Every time the A Man jumped and strode, a landing crack or a piece of shattered earth and stone would be left on the City street.
The thick dust stirred up brought absolute speed, while also causing a dull, heavy sound.
Almost in the next moment, everyone could see the large group of Zombies attracted by the sound in the City through more than ten follow-up drones!
The horde of Zombies was the main difficulty of this stage.
Time was limited, and killing ordinary Zombies did not provide a time bonus, so the primary choice was naturally to avoid them.
Barnett's approach was no exception.
When he saw that the street ahead was completely filled with the charging horde of Zombies, he directly leaped onto the wall of a tall building.
Stepping on the wall, the A Man continued forward as if walking on flat ground!
The scene before them caused countless people to exclaim in surprise, and then wave their hands excitedly!
"Barnett is directly moving between the walls of tall buildings, he has no intention of bypassing the Zombie horde ahead!"
"Charging straight to the other side of Bear City, and even passing over the top of the Zombie tide, the clearance record he creates will definitely rank in the top three!"
Under the gaze of everyone, Barnett, who was leaping between tall buildings at the fastest speed, had a little sweat on his forehead.
This kind of high-intensity sprinting consumed more energy than killing Three-Tier Zombies before.
But luckily, he had strong reserves.
At this speed, he could maintain it for at least twenty to thirty minutes.
This was also enough for him to rush to the other side of the City.
He glanced downwards.
Large groups of ordinary Zombies were roaring savagely, but they couldn't touch him at all.
"Hmph, looks scary, but to me, it's like nothing!"
Mutering to himself, Barnett's steps did not lessen, and he increased his speed again.
However, in the next moment.
As the A Man jumped from this wall towards the building opposite.
"Boom!"
"Roar!"
Accompanied by the sound of shattering glass, from the building opposite, a creature stained with black blood roared and rushed out!
Three-Tier Zombie Tiger?!
After seeing the opponent clearly, Barnett's pupils suddenly contracted.
There were only three Zombie Tigers in total within Bear City.
In the previous stage, two of them had been killed by evolved Humans.
The remaining one should have been more than ten kilometers away in the left urban area!
How did it appear here?!
If it were normally, Barnett wouldn't care about this Zombie Tiger at all.
In fact, a few minutes would be enough to easily deal with it.
But now.
He was in mid-air!
Without anything to leverage, Barnett, under the drone's camera and in the scene seen by everyone, was directly pounced on by this injured Zombie Tiger!
The situation was extremely dangerous.
If Barnett didn't deal with the Zombie Tiger that pounced on him, he would fall into the Zombie horde below in the next moment and become their food!
"Die!"
Grabbing the Zombie Tiger's head with one hand, the A Man knew his dangerous situation well, and with all his strength unleashed, his other hand deeply reached into the Zombie Tiger's mouth!
"Rip!"
Under the sound of tearing cloth, a captivating scene of a large area of flesh and blood exploding.
Barnett forcibly tore open the Zombie Tiger's upper and lower jaw, even pulling off its skull!
In a few breaths, he had directly killed this terrifying Zombie Tiger!
Using the falling corpse as leverage, Barnett took a step and landed in the adjacent building.
Seeing such a shocking scene, countless people were flushed with excitement.
The obstacle was dealt with by him as if he were killing small monsters.
Such terrifying strength was completely worthy of being called a Savior!
However.
Only Barnett himself knew how heavy a price he paid to kill this Zombie Tiger!
Just looking at his left arm, which was pierced by the tiger's teeth and infected with the Zombie virus, was a heavy consequence.
But in that situation, if he hadn't been so reckless, he would have likely fallen.
It was also at this time.
Through the live broadcast screen, everyone finally saw the A Man's left arm, which was being invaded by the Zombie virus!
Seeing this scene, the people who were originally cheering gradually fell silent.
"Pfft!"
Drawing the dagger from his waist, Barnett endured the pain, his face trembling from the agony, while his gaze remained resolute as he forcibly cut off his left arm!
The virus of Three-Tier Zombies was extremely potent.
If the spread was not isolated early, within a few minutes, the virus would invade his heart, and Barnett would not doubt that he would become a Zombie!
After simply treating the wound, the A Man's lips were pale as he took two deep breaths.
He checked the time.
According to his current state, it was absolutely impossible to reach the finish line within twenty minutes.
Even thirty minutes would require no further incidents to occur.
Looking at the corpse of the Zombie Tiger below, Barnett cursed under his breath and continued his journey by stepping on the City walls.
Compared to before, his speed was undoubtedly much slower.
However, at this speed, he would still be able to pass this stage without any unexpected events.
After all, killing the Three-Tier Zombie Tiger itself added some time.
Just.
Bear City itself seemed to be full of surprises.
"Pitter patter pitter patter~"
On a wall, two Three-Tier Tentacle Zombies, with tentacles on their backs like the legs of a Spider, were moving by gripping the wall.
Appearing out of nowhere, they suddenly rushed towards Barnett together!
"There are more Three-Tier Zombies, and two of them!"
The abnormal situation caused countless people who saw this scene to frown.
Barnett, who was already not in a good state, had an even more solemn expression on his face after seeing these two Three-Tier Zombies.
His luck was really bad.
Encountering one Three-Tier Zombie Tiger was already stepping in dog shit, and now there were two more troublesome Three-Tier Tentacle Zombies!
He couldn't confront these two guys head-on, he could only take a detour.
Barnett knew his condition well and changed direction with a look of unwillingness.
Just.
As mentioned before.
Bear City itself seemed to be full of surprises.
As Barnett turned around, from the building next to him, accompanied by a dull sound, a Three-Tier Zombie leaped out!
Another one!
The serious injury affected his attention, and the appearance of this Three-Tier Zombie was completely beyond Barnett's expectation.
By the time he reacted, this Zombie had directly pounced on him!
Unlike when he faced the Zombie Tiger.
Now, Barnett's strength was reduced by more than half.
He wanted to tear the Zombie off his body, but suddenly stiffened.
"Pfft!"
The Tentacle Zombie rapidly approaching from a distance directly pierced its tentacle, filled with the Zombie virus, into his body!
And in mid-air, the Three-Tier Zombie that had knocked Barnett down bit into the A Man's shoulder at the same time!
"Uh..." With wide eyes, Barnett's mouth overflowed with blood as he weakly grabbed the Zombie on him...
He, who aspired to be the Savior, actually... would fall here!
"Bang~"
Finally, the two fell into the Zombie horde.
"Roar roar roar..."
At the same time, a tide-like stream of Zombies swarmed towards Barnett on the ground!
The United States high-level officials watched with red eyes as a hill of Zombies buried one of their meticulously trained strongest individuals!
After a little time.
"Boom!"
The hill of accumulated Zombies was forcibly torn apart by a violent force!
And Barnett, who was inside, also revealed himself.
"Barnett! He's okay?!"
When seeing this scene, countless people exclaimed in surprise.
Just as everyone was surprised and amazed, the one-armed Barnett in the picture opened a pair of gray-white pupils.
He... had become a Zombie!
Watching this scene in deathly silence, no one made a sound anymore.
Although there was no expression, everyone seemed to see this Zombie mocking them, mocking Humans.
"Why are there so many Three-Tier Zombies there?!"
"The territory of Three-Tier Zombies, the closest distance to this route is also seven or eight kilometers, why are they not staying in their respective territories?!"
The high-level officials of the United States had placed great hopes on Barnett.
But in the end, it ended up like this.
Inevitably, the United States high-level officials strongly questioned the situation!
