Chapter 65: Preparations Complete, the Slaughter Begins!
Now, more and more survivors have started to exit.
Those who have exited are beginning to share their experiences.
“You just need to guard those laborers for 10 seconds, and they can gather at least 100 units of building materials. Then, just run and you’re done.”
“Exactly, then just leave those laborers up there. Find a higher floor, above the tenth floor. Guarding downstairs for a few seconds isn’t a big deal. Although those laborers have souls, they are ultimately summoned.”
“In this way, it’s easy to reach 300. I bet Liu Chuang just found the highest floor instead of guarding below for long.”
Experienced individuals have started sharing their insights. The wisdom of the people is boundless, especially in life-and-death situations like this. Most people will come up with solutions.
With this time gap, you can complete the task safely, so why not?
“Yeah, it’s terrifying. I saw someone trying to hold the stairs, but the zombies just piled up and climbed over each other. It’s completely different from the zombie tide.”
“During the zombie tide, you wouldn’t have so many zombies flooding indoors. The zombie tide gates aren’t shoddy products; they won’t break easily.”
“Hey, why haven’t we seen Lin God? Has Lin God gone missing?”
“Come on, unless Lin God is challenging a building full of zombies, there’s no way he’s missing.”
“Well, I’m just sitting in the shelter, having a drink, and waiting for the rankings…”
“I bet Lin God will collect a ton of building materials. After all, Lin God is a big shot. What do you all think?”
“Ahem, what if Lin God hasn’t thought of our method? Hehe…”
At this moment, Lin Feng’s expression was indifferent. All the soldiers had taken their positions.
The headhunter snipers had also set up their rifles, aiming at three locations.
There were not just one but three buildings filled with zombies, with a total of 30,000 zombies inside!
These zombies had, to some extent, surpassed Lin Feng’s current capabilities.
Thirty thousand zombies—if they were all awakened, there would be at least 30 Tier 4 zombies! And three Tier 5 zombies that Lin Feng had never faced before!
The damage those Tier 5 zombies could inflict on Lin Feng would be terrifying!
Lin Feng said nothing and waited quietly.
“Reporting, Lord. The high-explosive grenades have been installed. At least three high-explosive grenades have been tied and installed on each staircase below the evacuation level,” the marine reported to Lin Feng through the communicator.
“Slowly retreat upwards, then detonate the high-explosive grenades on the staircases,” Lin Feng ordered.
“Yes, sir!” The soldiers below received the order and began to detonate the bombs on the lower staircases with their rifles as they ascended each floor.
“Boom!” With a loud explosion, the staircase from the first to the second floor was destroyed.
“Boom!” Then the staircase from the second to the third floor.
“Boom!” The staircase from the third to the fourth floor.
This was a 14-story building. Da Niu mentioned that the original plan was to build up to 20 floors, but it seemed to be completed now.
Lin Feng and his team were on the tenth floor.
The laborers were on the fourteenth floor.
The laborers needed to dismantle the building and gather resources from the top down to the tenth floor where Lin Feng was.
Only the staircases were being blown up, so the structural integrity of the building wouldn’t be compromised. The building would remain relatively safe and wouldn’t collapse due to the explosions.
“Retreat to the upper floors!” Lin Feng kept an eye on the countdown timer.
【There are 2 hours left until the mission ends. Please be mindful of the time and return to the portal as soon as possible. If the mission closes, you will not be able to return to the shelter.】
The system’s notification was very concise, so concise that Lin Feng could sense a certain degree of coldness.
If you don’t return on time, it means certain death. Who knows if the communication restrictions will still be in place after the mission ends? If not, there truly would be no way out.
Lin Feng took a deep breath and picked up his communicator.
“Zeng He, start immediately,” Lin Feng said to the laborer leader on the other end.
“Yes,” came the weak response. Although Lin Feng had promised to do his best to keep the laborers alive, their morale was still very low.
However, the low morale of the laborers did not affect their efficiency at all, as if their work efficiency had been fixed.
The sound of “ding-dang” hammering echoed.
This noise immediately swept through the surrounding three buildings, causing the zombies inside to surge out.
【Warning! The surrounding zombies have been awakened. There are a total of 33,512 Tier 1 zombies, 3,251 Tier 2 zombies, 309 Tier 3 zombies, 34 Tier 4 zombies, and 3 Tier 5 zombies!】
【Critical!】
【Your chance of surviving this wave of zombies is: 0%! Please evacuate immediately!】
【Please evacuate immediately!】
【Please evacuate immediately!】
The system’s prompt sounded directly, and Lin Feng’s expression became more serious. However, he did not hesitate.
【Ding-dong, Faction Mission triggered: Ensure the safety of all laborers. Reward: Laborer Dormitory!】
At this moment, the system even issued a new mission!
“Ding-dang!” The laborers worked quickly and efficiently.
【You have collected 50 units of building materials. Please defend!】
The zombies reacted violently, as if Lin Feng had stirred up a hornet’s nest, surging out suddenly.
Some zombies even rushed directly out of the buildings, being squeezed out of windows, their bodies crashing to the ground. Even with broken arms, they lay on the ground, trying to crawl towards Lin Feng’s group.
Lin Feng had anticipated this situation.
“Fire!” Lin Feng commanded, and the soldiers he had positioned began shooting immediately.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!” The gunfire rang out fiercely, and the zombies at the front fell in droves.
“Roar…” Thousands of zombies poured out crazily from the three buildings. Each of those buildings housed tens of thousands of zombies. If they could jump directly from the buildings, their frenzied speed would allow them to launch a swift attack!
【One of your headhunter snipers has killed a Tier 3 zombie!】
The three headhunter snipers had developed a high level of coordination, with each shot taking down a Tier 3 zombie.
The zombies below couldn’t cause much trouble at the moment because they couldn’t find the staircases!
The staircases had been blown up earlier by the marines Lin Feng had positioned!
For the moment, the entire building remained relatively safe.
【You have collected 300 units of building materials!】
The collection speed was very fast. If Lin Feng were to leave now, he could certainly complete the mission immediately. However, according to Lin Feng’s plan, it was crucial to hold out for as long as possible.
This was because there was a building along the escape route. Lin Feng needed to wait until all the zombies had poured out before retreating.
This was Lin Feng’s only viable escape route.
At this moment, about half of the zombies from that building had already emerged.
Below, the zombie horde gathered densely, crowding together in an attempt to climb up, but for now, they were unable to do so.
However, at that moment, one zombie climbed onto the head of another, and then another zombie climbed onto the head of the one below.
These zombies were building a human ladder!
The densely packed zombies were preparing to launch an attack on the upper floors!
Lin Feng watched the zombies surging upwards, a slight, contemptuous smile forming at the corner of his mouth.
“All soldiers, listen to my command!” Lin Feng ordered.
“Yes!” All the soldiers responded in unison.
“Teams one, two, three, and four, attack the four directions of the building. Activate auto-aim and target the leaders!” Lin Feng commanded.
“Yes!” The nine marines responded in unison.
Lin Feng then looked at the steel flamethrower soldiers on the ninth floor and continued to give orders.
“Steel flamethrower soldiers, take your positions and be ready to face the zombie assault!”
“By the command of our lord!” Led by Da Niu, the four steel flamethrower soldiers each took a direction, activating their flamethrowers and preparing to fend off the zombie attack.
Lin Feng watched the zombies surging upwards below,
a slight smile forming at the corner of his mouth.
“Heh, a rabble.”
Then Lin Feng gave the order:
“Open fire.”
