They heard the roar close by.
Jiulin had already grabbed his handgun, "This just perfectly blocks the door."
"Brother Su, looks like we have to deal with these!"
He had already entered combat mode, after all, even though they were in the state of ordinary humans, each of them was a top-tier combat genius!
Even with just firearms, they could carve a bloody path through dangerous territory!
The container door was directly knocked open! More than fifty zombies were squeezed out, one after another, bursting out of the container, howling as they surged forward!
"These zombies are not the slow-moving elderly-type, they're quite fast," observed Su Qi as he watched the scene.
Jiulin didn't hesitate and opened fire!
His bullets hit the zombies' hearts with precision, which made Su Qi startle.
"What are you doing?"
"?" Jiulin was puzzled, "Of course, I'm killing them! These fifty-plus monsters are extremely fast, they seem quite strong, and they have an obvious insane desire for us, as if they want to devour our flesh raw."
"It seems you've never seen zombies before," Su Qi said, stroking his chin.
"See if hitting their hearts does any good?"
Jiulin's eyes sharpened, the zombies hit in the heart just trembled a bit, then continued their stride, completely unaffected.
"Let me correct you, young man."
Su Qi slowly raised his Cricket pistol, "To hit zombies, you should aim for the head."
He calmly raised his pistol, aiming at the zombies' heads.
Su Qi pulled the trigger.
Su Qi felt something was wrong.
Because his Cricket pistol suddenly emitted a sharp, high-pitched whine as blue particles violently gathered!
An astonishing recoil burst forth in the blink of an eye!
Under Jiulin's sharply contracting pupils!
Blue energy erupted in front of them with astonishing force!
More than fifty zombies, along with that container, were blasted into pieces in the blink of an eye!
The rooftop, which had been extremely dangerous mere moments ago, was now only filled with the smell of blood and dissolving flesh and limbs.
Su Qi fell silent, and so did Jiulin.
So this damn gun actually had such power.
He had thought about trying it in the coffee shop earlier; thankfully, he had resisted.
In the silence, Jiulin glanced at his handgun, then at Su Qi's, and turned his head stiffly.
"This is what you call shooting the head."
Su Qi slowly retracted the Cricket, his shoulder a bit sore from the recoil, but he coolly said,
"You tell me if the heads are still there."
He gently blew on the muzzle of the Cricket pistol.
"My gun is just this accurate, shot after shot, headshots."
He was too drained to retort.
Jiulin looked at the destruction on the rooftop with a shocked expression, "Is this the weapon you got, such incredible power."
"But there are limits," Su Qi said softly, "It can only be activated once a minute."
"That's super strong already, isn't it!!" Jiulin's eyes widened.
Although there were many restrictions in this great escape, they weren't stingy with bullets at all, such powerful force was already incredibly outrageous.
Jiulin exhaled, "Seeing that your other equipment is crap, I've come to accept it."
Now it was Su Qi's turn to be puzzled, do you have a problem with my Starfire that didn't cost a thing?
"Looks like we need to find a new place," said Su Qi lightly.
That last shot had not been small in power, and it would surely draw attention from the vicinity.
New information appeared on the wristwatch.
[Attention, there is a chance of receiving rewards for killing zombies]
[Attention, among the numerous containers in the city, only one contains the key to ending this event]
[Random airdrops will appear along the way, possibly containing better equipment, blood serum, enhancing potions, etc. Note that all enhancement effects last until the end of the Battle Royale, although danger could also be present...]
[Lastly, the infection circle will refresh and gradually shrink until it locks onto that key container. Anyone outside the infection circle will begin to lose life, decompose, and will be considered dead upon losing consciousness]
"It seems our goal is clear; we just have to find that container," Jiulin said with furrowed brows, "But in this vast city, the odds of finding that one are too small. We can only rely on the infection circle to narrow the search area."
"Let's take it one step at a time," Su Qi said, not in a hurry but rather heading towards the nearby blasted container.
He reached out and picked up a bloodstained box.
"Looks is the reward for killing zombies."
Su Qi opened it to find a can of drink inside.
Jiulin came over, "It looks like just an ordinary drink."
Su Qi shook his head, looking at the information displayed on his wristwatch: "This is an energy drink. It can slightly increase speed and boost physical strength and recovery, as well as provide resistance to infection, lasting five minutes."
Jiulin glanced at his wristwatch, "So it can display information about various items."
"How should I put this."
Su Qi looked away, "The sense of déjà vu is getting stronger."
If this Black and White Bear hadn't been baptized through the hub system, Su Qi would wash its hair upside down.
Everything about this Ancient Gate is essentially a task system.
the infection circle had refreshed, but it covered the entire city, with another refresh in ten minutes.
Toxic gases like tidal waves started appearing around the outskirts of the city.
"It's equivalent to no refresh; it doesn't change the situation," Jiulin said with knitted brows.
Su Qi said softly, "Since the infection circle has to refresh around this city, everyone will first choose to arrive at strategic locations in advance."
"Most people will try to move as close to the center of the infected area as possible. That way, they have ample time to act regardless."
"Of course, this doesn't concern us," Su Qi spread his hands, "We're on the edge of the city and without any means of transportation. Plus, with the presence of zombies, we can't do much in ten minutes."
Jiulin listened, stunned.
Following Su Qi for a while, he suddenly realized, if there's nothing to be done, what's the point of all this analysis?!
"Wait, aren't we supposed to go out? What are you looking for?"
Su Qi kicked open the door to the fire storage forcefully, glanced around, and found a fire axe.
Su Qi handed one over.
"Keep it. Zombies, those creatures, are very sensitive to sound. That gunshot of mine has already attracted a lot of zombies nearby."
"My gun has substantial power, but it needs to cool down."
"Your gun, on the other hand, can be used. It's just that fallback plans can go out the window once we're surrounded, or else we'll just attract more zombies."
Jiulin watched how skilled and proficient Su Qi was, as if this was second nature to him, and he couldn't help but be somewhat stunned.
"Brother Su, if I may ask, have you been through this before?"
The third instance Su Qi experienced was the Night Demon Ruined City, dominated by zombies.
In Jiulin's eyes, it seemed grave.
Brother Su had been through such a tragic world.
After preparing to leave, the zombies attracted by the earlier noise had dispersed from downstairs.
A large number of zombies had been released, but after counting, there were only about a million, nowhere near enough to saturate the city.
So as long as they didn't attract zombies, there were ways to move.
Su Qi squinted at the outside.
The demon that had been eyeing them was still there but had already begun to move silently.
They were still being watched.
Although the current event featured zombies as the main threat, none of the participants took these insignificant creatures seriously. What stature did they have, and what was this pile of rotten flesh? They were leftovers from their play.
didn't lie with the zombies.
