488: Zhao Ling passes, Nie Fangping enters
There was no surprise.
In Zhao Ling's eyes, this reliable Big Boss named Captain Long Tie ultimately died in the Zombie City under the heavy rain!
Looking at the pale face on the stretcher, Zhao Ling clenched his fists, a heavy feeling accumulating in his chest.
"Hahaha..."
Suddenly.
An uncontrollable burst of laughter abruptly entered his ears, causing Zhao Ling to instantly turn his head and look.
It was a red-haired Man.
"Is it funny?" Zhao Ling's voice was cold.
"Funny, of course it's funny, hahaha, all of you, you're killing me with laughter."
The red-haired Man could no longer hold back his laughter.
His behavior not only drew a cold gaze from Zhao Ling but also caused other Evolvers to frown.
"Next, Liang Dao."
After so many people had died in succession.
The Referee's voice also carried a hint of heaviness.
When his words were called out, the red-haired Man, who was laughing heartily, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and strode forward: "Coming."
Seeing the opponent enter the arena, Zhao Ling frowned and watched.
Then, thinking of something, he glanced at Nie Fangping in the crowd.
This guy.
Since the second stage began, his expression had not changed at all.
Even when Barnett and the others died, he still showed no emotion.
It seemed he already knew who could pass and who could not.
Under the camera's gaze, the red-haired Man stepped into this City that had already buried many elite Evolvers.
Nie Fangping watched this scene.
It was expected.
This red-haired Man passed the stage.
This caused the remaining people to let out a long sigh of nervous relief.
Another person had successfully passed.
This meant that this stage *could* be passed!
As they instilled this psychological comfort in themselves, the Referee also began to call out the next person to enter.
More than twenty people, one by one, entered the arena.
Originally, everyone thought this would be a long wait and observation.
Unexpectedly.
After the heavy rain stopped and a vast, grayish-white light appeared on the horizon.
Around six o'clock in the evening, only two Evolvers who had not yet started the stage remained.
This was because the people who went before them, despite having a thirty-minute time limit, all died in less than half that time!
The two people remaining were Zhao Ling and Nie Fangping.
And only four people had successfully passed!
Two men and two women, who were precisely the four spies planted by the Zombie Civilization.
In Nie Fangping's opinion.
Regardless of what happened next, the Zombie Civilization would at least have two Savior positions.
He just didn't know if the Zhao Ling next to him could hold onto the third position.
He actually hoped this guy could secure a Savior position.
That way, at least some of the Zombie Civilization's attention could be diverted.
If he was the only one who became a Savior, and the other three were all their kind.
He would definitely be strictly monitored by these guys.
This would bring considerable impact to his subsequent actions.
"Zhao Ling, it's your turn to enter."
The Referee looked at one of the two remaining people.
Nie Fangping going last was decided during the allocation.
The person implicitly considered the strongest going last was also the finale.
He had expected it to be a spectacle witnessed by everyone.
He hadn't expected that by now.
So few people were left alive.
In fact, by this point, the many Referees who set up the stages had already begun to regret it.
They also hadn't expected.
What was originally a stage to test the comprehensive abilities of Evolvers had turned into a test of luck.
The Zhao Ling before them, as someone who had been defeated by Nie Fangping before, didn't know what his luck would be like, whether he could pass.
Hopefully, there wouldn't be another corpse added.
Thinking this, Zhao Ling, carrying the gazes of countless hopeful people, stepped into Bear City.
Holding the watermelon knife in his hand, the Man did not choose to rush recklessly through the City buildings.
He walked steadily, moving through the streets one by one.
It wasn't long.
A few minutes later, in front of Zhao Ling's vision, who had already completed one-third of the journey, a Three-Tier Zombie appeared!
He wasn't surprised by the appearance of this kind of Zombie.
He had seen too many experiences of the previous Evolvers.
Evading was not feasible; there would definitely be a Zombie ambush at another intersection.
Engaging in battle was also not feasible; once entangled, other Zombies would immediately surround and attack.
The only method was to quickly kill this Three-Tier Zombie!
While his gaze was serious, Zhao Ling's face also paled slightly, and the long blade in his hand drew out a striking blade energy!
In these past few days, his Watermelon Knife Technique had already advanced to the eighth level.
At this stage, he could burn his vital blood and unleash a Martial Arts attack similar to those in the Martial Arts World.
It could also be said to be Zhao Ling's strongest move.
Although there would be some damage, for Zhao Ling, this was unavoidable!
"Boom!"
The rising blade light illuminated the puddles on the ground after the rain.
The next moment, the blade light flashed past, piercing through the Zombie's body and striking the building behind it, causing a huge sound and destruction!
In front, the Three-Tier Zombie's originally bloodthirsty expression began to turn vacant.
"Thud~"
Half of its body, as its flesh and blood trembled, fell to the ground.
Amidst the trembling, it also stirred the trembling in the hearts of everyone who witnessed this scene!
One strike... instant kill?!
"Cough cough..." After burning his vital blood, Zhao Ling coughed twice uncomfortably.
Feeling the Zombies charging from behind, he directly added the evolution points he had just obtained from killing the Three-Tier Zombie to his physical fitness and speed.
With the infusion of evolution points, Zhao Ling's complexion improved slightly.
This was his response method.
Facing a Three-Tier Zombie, he used his strongest attack.
Then, he used the evolution points obtained from killing the Three-Tier Zombie to improve his physical fitness and speed.
This way, he could maintain a relatively good physical condition, and at the same time, with faster speed, the probability of passing the stage was greater!
After his Physique was enhanced, Zhao Ling suddenly charged towards the City ahead.
As expected, Three-Tier Zombies appeared again ahead, and there were two of them!
After being ravaged by so many Evolvers, the entire Bear City's original fifty Three-Tier Zombies, in Zhao Ling's calculation, had no more than twenty left.
But within just a few minutes, he had encountered three of them!
How to get past?
Of course, it was still a direct charge!
Zhao Ling had seen too many people die from Zombie ambushes hidden in the dark because they changed their route.
He couldn't do that.
"Boom!" The watermelon knife in his hand once again unleashed a strike that burned his vital blood!
"Roar!" Under the Zombie's roar, it also swooped down.
However, when this flash of blade light arrived, it was directly forced back!
Taking advantage of this gap, Zhao Ling quickly passed through the sides of the two Three-Tier Zombies!
He conveniently killed a few Zombies on the way.
Evolution points were then used.
Just as Zhao Ling was performing these actions.
Under the people's increasingly excited and breathless expressions.
The finish line ahead appeared before Zhao Ling's eyes!
"Am I going to pass?!" After seeing the finish line, Zhao Ling's heart also surged with excitement.
Under this high-intensity movement, he had already lost vital blood, making his face even paler.
However, all of this was worth it.
However, the unexpected... arrived!
He could see from his peripheral vision that three dark figures, carrying the powerful aura unique to Three-Tier Zombies, stood firmly in front of him with a boom!
...
More than ten minutes later.
"Zhao Ling, time taken 30 minutes and 57 seconds, passed!"
The Referee at the finish line, looking at the young man who stood up from among the three Three-Tier Zombie corpses, holding a blood-stained watermelon knife, announced loudly with a shocked expression.
Killing Three-Tier Zombies provided a considerable time bonus.
Therefore, even though Zhao Ling exceeded 30 minutes, it was considered a successful pass!
Moreover.
Compared to the four unremarkable passes before him.
Zhao Ling encountered six Three-Tier Zombies along the way!
He killed four and forced back two.
Such a passionate scene made people even more certain of his value!
At the starting point.
The Referee who had also watched the entire process, while relieved, looked at the last person, a Man holding a bamboo flute, who had not yet started the stage.
"Mr. Fang Ping, are you ready?"
Hearing the Referee's words, Nie Fangping glanced at the four spies from the Zombie Civilization.
These few people's faces were already gloomy.
One could only say that they had underestimated Zhao Ling.
In Bear City, there were still eighteen Three-Tier Zombies.
If they had used half of them to deal with Zhao Ling, it would have been enough to keep him there.
But their original intention was to leave as many remaining Zombies as possible to deal with Nie Fangping, who would be the last to enter!
As for Zhao Ling, this small fry, unleashing six Three-Tier Zombies was already more than enough.
Unfortunately, the facts proved that this was not enough.
For some inexplicable reason, these people's focus on Nie Fangping caused Zhao Ling, this mouse, to escape.
Nie Fangping himself didn't know that he had become Zhao Ling's helper.
But it didn't matter if he knew.
He needed another person to help him attract the attention of the Zombie Civilization.
Zhao Ling passing was exactly what he wanted.
Now, it was his turn.
According to the attitude of those four guys, the entire City's Zombies should now be targeting him alone, launching a siege...
Glancing at the System panel which showed no movement, Nie Fangping slightly raised his head and looked at the grayish-white sky after the heavy rain.
No one could see that behind the swirling black clouds above this sky.
There was a vast, black sea-like, cold swarm of insects, silent yet containing a strong, bloodthirsty aura!
