LIGHTNOVELSTORY Chapter 63
Chapter 63: Isn’t This Just a Piece of Cake?
Rescuing someone—if Lin Feng had decided to rescue the survivor earlier, he might not have been able to save her without any losses, but he certainly could have saved her.
However, in the apocalypse, everyone prioritizes their own interests.
Who knows, the zombies might have just rushed out. Lin Feng wasn’t sure if the game rules truly relied on the noise from the laborers. What if the zombies inside the buildings also came out?
Lin Feng didn’t dare to gamble, nor would he.
Especially risking one’s own life to save others—that wasn’t being kind-hearted; that was being a martyr.
Lin Feng didn’t consider himself a good person, but he wasn’t an evil one either.
If he were in that position, he doubted others would come to his rescue.
The world channel was suddenly filled with exclamations.
“Damn, I just had the laborers work for one second—just one second—and over ten zombies rushed out. Luckily, they were all ordinary zombies. Scared me to death.”
“Really? I saw a guy next to me almost get killed. Can you believe it?”
“Oh my God, that was terrifying. If it’s not the laborers gathering building materials, can we still go out? Just without many rewards?”
Suddenly, the entire channel was muted again.
【All survivors must gather at least 300 units of building materials, or face a penalty of the next zombie tide gate opening time being multiplied by five!】
“Damn it…”
“I’m absolutely stunned. Did you have to jinx it like that?”
“Who was the idiot that blurted out the bug? I was just about to find a place to slack off!”
The world channel was flooded with comments, and Lin Feng could only sift through the more coherent ones to gather information.
Everyone was in this abandoned city, that was certain. But the current issue was that to gather resources, the laborers had to work, which would inevitably attract a large number of zombies.
“Reporting, Lord. Reconnaissance complete!” Wang Sheng’s voice came through the communication device.
“Speak!” Lin Feng commanded.
“There are large numbers of zombies in all the buildings. In the building directly ahead of us, there are thousands, nearly ten thousand zombies. I’ve already observed at least seven Tier 4 zombies!” Wang Sheng’s voice came through quickly, his tone calm and devoid of fear, as if he were discussing something entirely unrelated to himself.
“Shoot the outermost zombie closest to you. Can you do that? Just the outermost one, a Tier 3 zombie. Aim for the leg, don’t kill it in one shot. I want to see the reaction,” Lin Feng instructed.
“Yes, sir!” Wang Sheng immediately acknowledged the order.
With a “bang!” a shot rang out as a bullet fired from Wang Sheng’s AWM sniper rifle.
The bullet traveled a short distance without any drop, quite different from real-life ballistics.
Lin Feng heard the gunshot as a faint sound, almost like a fist knocking on a table.
【One of your headhunter snipers has attacked a Tier 3 zombie! Dealt 500 points of damage!】
【Warning! You have awakened the zombie horde! Prepare for defense!】
【Warning! You have awakened the zombie horde! Prepare for defense!】
【The awakened zombies include 135 Tier 1 zombies, 9 Tier 2 zombies, and 1 Tier 3 zombie!】
Zombies surged out from the building corridors, launching an attack towards Lin Feng’s position.
It was as if the zombies could sense their presence.
However, these zombies were merely a prelude to the main event, quickly dispatched by the soldiers under Lin Feng’s command.
Lin Feng remained silent, contemplating the current situation.
Attacking only attracted a small number of zombies, but gathering building materials would cause countless zombies to surge out.
Lin Feng rubbed his chin, pondering a solution.
This problem was indeed quite challenging.
At the same time, the survivors in the world channel were feeling similarly tense about the current situation.
“Ahem, do any brothers need special services? I’ll come right over…”
“Brother Zhang Han, you’re so strong, you can definitely help us. Can you take me with you? I only need 300 units of building materials.”
…
A flood of messages began to appear in the world channel, so Lin Feng decided to shut it off entirely, no longer paying attention to the chatter.
Lin Feng asked in his mind, “System, do I have to return to the place I came from to go back?”
【Yes, the host must return to the entrance to open the zombie tide gate and return to the shelter.】
Lin Feng thought for a moment and continued, “Do these building materials get collected directly by the system, or do I need to transport them back?”
【Once the materials are collected, the system will store them. The host does not need to transport them back personally.】
Upon hearing these words, a slight smile appeared on Lin Feng’s lips.
So, this mission is really just a piece of cake?
