Lin Xinghai sat in the multi-functional off-road vehicle and thought about life for five minutes before he finally came to his senses.
During this time, the other members did not bother him, probably thinking that he needed to adapt.
Lin Xinghai looked at the others. While trying to kill the zombies, they were also strenuously running forward. Yet, he was just sitting inside the off-road vehicle, spacing out, which gave him an inexplicable sense of guilt.
After cheering up, Lin Xinghai raised his Shredder Rifle and started working with the others, taking down the attacking zombies one by one.
Since he was here, he didn’t mind contributing his part.
Besides, successfully completing the mission would bring him plenty of benefits. The rewards handed down would definitely be substantial.
He wasn’t asking for much. Just about a dozen vials of genetic serum would solve all his problems.
Ratatata!
Lin Xinghai began to go all out and observed this temporarily selected elite team.
There were only 17 people in the entire team, including him.
He wasn’t sure about their close-combat skills yet, but after watching them handle their guns for a bit, he got the gist of their shooting skill.
Among the team, there were only two people with better marksmanship than him, Roger and a sniper named Song Mu.
Besides, there were only three people whose shooting skills were on par with his. One of them was Xu Hao, and the other two seemed to be from the 2nd Team and 3rd Team.
Their advance was mainly supported by the firepower held up by these five individuals.
Strictly speaking, there should be four people. That was because Song Mu used a sniper rifle, and the firepower he contributed was limited.
So, when Lin Xinghai was spacing out earlier, their line of defense was pretty strained, often letting the zombies get too close for comfort.
Once he started giving it his all, the situation changed immediately.
After all, with his sharp shooting skill, Lin Xinghai didn’t need to focus on navigating, allowing him to concentrate on dealing with the zombies. Once he went all out, his efficiency in taking them down was actually higher than anyone else’s.
This once again gave everyone a surprise. They thought that Lin Xinghai was not used to the bumps in the car and needed a period of adaptation before he could bring out his best.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xinghai only adjusted for 5 minutes before delivering such a splendid performance.
After seeing Lin Xinghai’s efficiency in killing zombies, the others cooperated tacitly, leaving a section of the defense circle to him.
Clang!
Propelled by the pneumatic device, the off-road vehicle bounced high again, clearing a section of obstacles in front of it.
Lin Xinghai was already familiar with this situation. Taking advantage of the wide view at a high altitude, he aimed at the three zombies 80 meters away and pulled the trigger continuously from a higher altitude.
With the crack of three gunshots, the zombies in the distance tumbled to the ground.
These three were just regular zombies with very limited dodging abilities. Even with a distance of 80 meters between them, Lin Xinghai was confident he could take them down with a single headshot each.
As the off-road vehicle cleared the obstacle and landed back on the ground, he quickly fired two shots, swiftly killing two intermediate zombies 40 meters away.
Yes, after a brief adjustment, Lin Xinghai had figured out how to take advantage of the off-road vehicle’s leaps, establishing a pattern of alternating long and close-range attacks.
While improving the killing efficiency, it prevented zombies from clustering together and becoming a threat.
Of course, pulling this off was no easy task.
Of course, Lin Xinghai was not a god. The reason why he could do this was entirely because there was a zombie detector in the off-road vehicle.
He glanced at the screen, having a firm grasp on the number, location, and strength of the zombies that were about to appear.
At the same time, he also noticed that a purple light spot appeared in the upper right corner of the screen.
“At 3 o’clock, 300 meters away, there’s an advanced zombie.” Lin Xinghai shouted to Roger outside.
Roger made an OK gesture and said at the same time, “Please help keep an eye on my defense line.”
“Okay!” Lin Xinghai’s reply was brief and clear.
After 30 seconds, the advanced zombie that appeared was killed.
It went smoothly. Even the team’s forward speed was not hindered.
After a not-so-lengthy battle, everyone not only recognized Lin Xinghai’s strength but also considered him the backbone of the team.
Ratatata!
Everyone was advancing and fighting zombies.
Even under such circumstances, the team’s forward speed reached 40 kilometers per hour.
Mostly, it was because the combatants were all Enhanced. Their physical quality was simply not comparable to that of ordinary people.
Of course, it wasn’t like they didn’t run into problems along the way.
At times, they encountered terrains so complex that even their multifunctional off-road vehicle couldn’t pass through.
Lin Xinghai was quite excited when he encountered this situation for the first time.
“Do we need to abandon the vehicle and proceed on foot?”
But soon, his wishful thinking was shattered.
The two mechas “Sky Fracture” and “Sky Frost” each picked up an off-road vehicle and jumped directly over the obstacles.
Lin Xinghai was rendered speechless.
In this manner, the team made rapid advances. Lin Xinghai completely gave up on the idea of getting out of the vehicle.
…
Soon, the team had advanced 3 kilometers.
Ratatata!
After Lin Xinghai raised his gun and killed three zombies, he removed the nearly empty magazine and placed it in the ammo box to reload automatically.
At this moment, the zombie detector once again emitted a piercing alarm sound.
By now, Lin Xinghai had almost gotten used to it; he just casually glanced at it.
But this glance made him pause in surprise.
Because in the bottom right corner of the screen, a black dot had appeared.
Zombies of different strengths were indicated by light dots of different colors to represent their power.
Normal zombies were light red, intermediate zombies were dark red, and advanced zombies were purple.
The darker the hue of the dot, the graver the threat!
However, what could the black dot mean? Something stronger than even the purple level?
Various thoughts raced in his mind. Lin Xinghai did not dare to hesitate and immediately shouted, “Rog, a black light spot appeared on the zombie detector. What is going on?”
As soon as Lin Xinghai said this, he found that the advancing team suddenly came to a halt. Many veteran mercenaries showed nervous expressions on their faces.
At this time, the mercenary in another off-road vehicle also sounded the alarm in a nervous voice, “Attention everyone, there is a mutant zombie approaching us at high speed.”
If only Lin Xinghai said this, there might have been a misjudgment.
However, having two people say so, it should be right. They were really unlucky to encounter a mutant zombie.
“Let me and Shen Han deal with the mutant zombie. You should set up a defensive formation and be ready to retreat.” At this time, Fang Tianhe’s calm voice sounded, making everyone’s nervous expressions relax.
