Chapter 33: I Fought Head-On, and You Guys Survived by Hiding?
Next was the lottery opportunity he earned.
“Start the lottery!” Lin Feng said to the system in his mind.
A large spinning wheel appeared in front of Lin Feng.
【Drawing in progress…】
【Congratulations to survivor Lin Feng for obtaining a mission scroll: Shattered Hospital (Highest level zombie: Tier-4).】
Lin Feng looked at the scroll-like item that appeared before him, momentarily unsure of its purpose.
A mission scroll meant it could trigger a mission.
Then, the system provided an explanation.
【The mission scroll can open a portal, transporting the survivor squad into the mission world, where they can explore and search for resources.】
This essentially created a separate instance world, allowing entry into it to gather resources and bring them back, thus enabling the collection of more valuable assets.
Lin Feng set the mission scroll aside for now and began checking the status of his soldiers.
Lin Feng said, “Read the health and stamina values of the front-line Iron Guards.”
【Reading in progress…】
【Reading complete!】
【The health values of your four Iron Guards are: 121/600, 79/600, 470/600, 511/600.】
【The stamina values of your four Iron Guards are: 71/600, 42/600, 311/600, 321/600.】
During the initial battle, the Iron Guards held the front line, and Da Niu truly held out until the very last moment. His position was more advanced than his fellow Iron Guard, bearing a greater burden.
This time, they managed to withstand the zombie tide by taking advantage of their terrain. If they encountered such a large number of zombies on open ground, their defensive line would likely have been breached.
“Everyone, rest!” Lin Feng ordered.
The soldiers began to rest. Even for the gunners, enduring such high-intensity combat was not easy.
Lin Feng then opened the world channel and was shocked by the data he saw.
【Global remaining survivors: 237,133】
The number was halved!
After this zombie tide receded, a large number of survivors were completely wiped out.
“There were so many zombies at the entrance, and even a Tier-2 zombie! It was unbelievable.”
“Luckily, we held out. I even had to break down the building. Do you know how I survived?”
“I think I found a bug. You can go directly to the rooftop, but once you’re up there, don’t move or make any noise. Cover yourself with mud to mask your scent.”
In the instinctive drive for survival, people would do unexpected things.
For instance, some hid themselves, climbed to rooftops, or used partitions and other means to stay safe.
Once the zombies surged in and lost their initial human targets, they began to wander aimlessly. Then, these people could wait until the Zombie Tide Gate closed before starting to harvest.
This method could yield dozens of crystal stones at a time, which was quite substantial. As for those who couldn’t even clear the wandering zombies indoors, they already become zombie fodder.
“Yeah, in that case, isn’t the Zombie Tide Gate just delivering crystal stones to us?”
“I was so worried earlier; I thought I would be discovered.”
Carefully reviewing the messages in the world channel, Lin Feng realized that their method of dealing with the zombie tide might have been the truly correct approach.
As for himself,
he chose to confront it head-on…
“Wait, wasn’t there an achievement notification spamming earlier? Let me check.” Finally, someone noticed the achievement notifications that had appeared towards the end, but everyone had been too tense to pay attention.
“Yeah… I saw it too. Let me go back and see what it was about.”
“Right, it was so terrifying at the time that I didn’t pay attention to the world channel.”
Then, three messages were dug up.
【Announcement! Congratulations to survivor Lin Feng for being the first to kill a Tier-3 zombie, achieving a kill milestone!】
【Announcement! Congratulations to survivor Lin Feng for being the first to kill a Tier-3 zombie, achieving a kill milestone!】
【Announcement! Congratulations to survivor Lin Feng for being the first to kill a Tier-3 zombie, achieving a kill milestone!】
The other survivors were stunned.
We were barely surviving by hiding and avoiding the zombie tide, and you just went head-to-head with the zombies?
Not only did he confront the zombie tide head-on, but he also killed a Tier-3 zombie. Is there no justice in this world?
This is making survival impossible for the rest of us.
As a result, the other survivors in the world system fell into a state of lamentation.
“Damn it, I almost lost my precious regular soldiers just dealing with a Tier-2 zombie!”
“Lin God, could you please be a bit more human? We all survived by hiding, and here you are taking on zombies head-on, making it impossible for the rest of us to live!”
“I was just relieved to have survived, but now seeing Lin God fighting the zombie tide head-on, I can’t stay calm anymore!”
