Su Qi and Jiulin were moving quickly.
in such a vast city, relying on their legs alone wasn't enough in a short time.
They could only have made it from the residential area to a nearby subway station within a kilometer, let alone now with so many zombies around.
They had only just passed the second street.
the ten minutes had passed.
both their watches emitted a slight vibration.
[Please note, the current Infection Circle has refreshed]
In their view, an entire overhead map of the city appeared, showing the Infection Circle that had originally covered the city suddenly shrinking.
Nearly a third of the area had been cut off.
"It seems our luck isn't very good," Su Qi said lightly, clicking his tongue, "This area is cut off."
"We must act immediately."
Jiulin's expression darkened as he looked towards the distant outskirts of the city, seemingly seeing the infectious fog stealthily blowing in from outside the city.
Whether it was because of the refresh of the Infection Circle, at this very moment, some zombies had already discovered the two of them!
Jiulin didn't use a gun; instead, he wielded a fire axe and charged forward, splitting the head of an approaching zombie.
[The next refresh of the Infection Circle will be in twenty minutes]
"The refresh time has increased."
Su Qi also kicked away a zombie that suddenly pounced from the shadows, his body clad in nano-level protective clothing which actually allowed him to move freely among the zombie crowd without fear of scratches or bites.
the noise made by the two had attracted attention, and the surrounding zombies all started moving towards them.
No longer hiding and ducking, the two started sprinting.
The Infection Circle was shrinking faster than anticipated, they needed to reach the safe zone before then.
They weren't slow, carrying their fire axes and quickly pushing forward.
Any zombies that came at them from the front could easily be decapitated in an instant.
No matter how weak, they were fighters who had survived various life-and-death battles and were chosen from thousands for their battle instincts, which had reached a level of intuitive proficiency.
Even limited to the strength of ordinary people, they were far stronger than imagined.
Just like that black-haired youth in the dueling ground earlier, he hadn't even used any Spiritual Energy, or burst any Strength, relying only on a small handgun to take down several Seventh Rank.
The fire axe splattered copious amounts of black blood around.
More zombies were attacking.
Although these zombies were brainless weaklings in their eyes, they also posed various fatal threats.
Moreover, there were more zombies than they had expected.
"We are three kilometers from the safe zone, just over ten minutes left, if we keep getting held up here..."
Jiulin didn't continue, turning his head to look behind, where the already segmented outer circle of the city's infection could be seen... the dark green poisonous fog was rolling in from a distance like smog.
"I'm going to use my gun, Brother Su, you should..."
"No, you go ahead," Su Qi interrupted, "I'm afraid of scaring someone away."
Jiulin frowned slightly, then his expression turned solemn.
"Just act normally, I think it can't hold back anymore."
Understanding, Jiulin knew from his detecting equipment there wasn't supposed to be anyone nearby, but trusting Brother Su's certainty, he had to cooperate.
He had already drawn his gun.
As they ran, bullets shot out, but after each shot, he needed to chamber, reload.
up in a high building, a demon with cold eyes was watching them, not needing to move on the ground.
Because besides that weapon, it also had an Enhancing Potion and a three-dimensional movement device.
The Enhancing Potion had given it plenty of strength, and although the three-dimensional movement device was simple, it allowed it to move between buildings.
Now, it watched the two men breaking through from the high building.
Its eyes flickered slightly.
it had planned to wait for more people to gather before making a move, because with the enemy in the light and itself in the dark, coupled with equipment advantage, it had planned to ambush.
that had been its plan, but now... was an excellent opportunity.
The enemy was surrounded by zombies, their attention completely diverted.
All their attacks were focused on breaking through.
if it continued to wait here, the trouble from the Infection Circle reaching it would be inevitable.
Several high explosive hand grenades appeared in its hand, the gun also gripped in the other, the mobility device propelling it directly towards the path they were taking.
A fierce figure with intense killing intent!
Approaching them rapidly!
Jiulin's form paused slightly but didn't stop moving; he naturally couldn't let the enemy realize they had noticed it.
The enemy wanted a surprise attack.
And he wanted to counter and capture it.
he didn't care about this point at all; he was indifferent about killing the enemy. Rather than act now, he preferred to drag out the time.
he had already cheated; his three pieces of equipment were high-tech, but within the rules, they were just initial gear.
