Of course, the most fundamental problem was how to get an incendiary bullet into the blood fiend’s body.
Regarding this, Lin Xinghai’s solution was to first use an armor-piercing bullet to shoot and create a pathway.
The incendiary bullet would follow closely behind, shooting along the same trajectory, thus achieving the goal.
Of course, Lin Xinghai also understood that his understanding of a blood fiend was far from enough.
So he voiced this idea and asked Roger whether this plan could inflict substantial harm on the blood fiend.
After hearing this, Roger immediately showed a strange expression on his face, “Your method, in theory, should be feasible, but in practice, it’s simply impossible.”
“Especially the part you mentioned, about firing two bullets at the exact same spot. Even if you could manage that, given the blood fiend’s healing speed, there’s no way it would leave a trajectory for a follow-up shot.”
If it were another mutant zombie, excellent marksmanship could allow for continuous shots at the same spot, increasing damage significantly. Creating a trajectory might be the least of concerns; shooting right through could even be possible.
However, the blood fiend was different. It was like firing a gun at the surface of the lake. No matter how accurate the shots are, it’s impossible to create a “wound” in the water.
Of course, the blood fiend’s healing speed was not as fast as that of lake water, but in Roger’s opinion, it was not much different.
“It might not be impossible. The blood fiend’s wounds don’t heal instantaneously. It takes at least 0.1 seconds. I just need to seize this opportunity…”
Before Lin Xinghai could finish his sentence, Roger shook his head and said, “It’s impossible to grasp the timing well.”
In Roger’s opinion, there was no difference at all between 0.1-second recovery and instant recovery.
After thinking about it, he added, “I can’t cooperate with your inhuman request.”
“Ugh!” Lin Xinghai touched his nose, “I didn’t ask for your cooperation. I just want to discuss with you whether this can harm the blood fiend.”
This time it was Roger’s turn to be a little embarrassed. He thought Lin Xinghai would invite him to cooperate as they did with the advanced zombies.
Before he could say anything, Lin Xinghai added, “I’ll leave for a while to make some preparations. I’ll be back soon.”
After he finished speaking, he activated his Extreme Speed and sprinted into the distance.
Roger was right about one thing, trying to seize that 0.1-second time gap indeed demanded more than human capability.
With Lin Xinghai’s current shooting skill, it was simply impossible to perform this feat.
However, he had a system, and he could cheat!
If he increased the proficiency of Basic Shooting Skill to 100%, then he was confident that he could do it.
However, cheating required Blood Essence. After the breakthrough, he only had 3 Blood Essence points left and his shooting skill proficiency was only at 70%.
According to the previous pattern, improving shooting proficiency to 80% requires 7 points of Blood Essence, improving to 90% requires 8 points, and improving to 100% requires 9 points.
A total of 24 Blood Essence points were needed, and now he was still 21 points short.
21 Blood Essence points would have been a lot for Lin Xinghai in the past, but things were different at this stage.
His marksmanship had become comparable to Roger’s. Moreover, he had evolved into an Enhanced and had even awakened his ability.
The combination of these conditions allowed him to defeat zombies, even advanced zombies.
Under the influence of his ability, Lin Xinghai disappeared from the mercenaries’ view in just a few moments.
Behind a building, three zombies were rushing in this direction, attracted by the noise of the battle here.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
However, as three gunshots sounded, a bloody hole appeared without exception on each of their foreheads. Their bodies collapsed backward.
However, before they could fully fall to the ground, a hand pressed on their wounds.
The next moment, Lin Xinghai absorbed the Blood Essence in these zombie bodies.
Ding!
Ding!
Ding!
As three system beeps sounded, Lin Xinghai instantly gained 3 Blood Essence points.
“Whoa! This is much faster than secretly collecting Blood Essence.” Lin Xinghai licked his lips. As he directed more of his focus to his newfound perception, he immediately charged toward the next wave of zombies.
In the city center, there was never a shortage of zombies. Finding 21 zombies was particularly simple.
Therefore, Lin Xinghai’s hunting speed was also surprisingly fast. It only took him over 40 seconds to complete the task.
Even with the time taken to travel back and forth, it was only about a minute in total.
Seeing Lin Xinghai running back quickly, Roger looked a little confused.
However, Lin Xinghai had created quite a few miracles these past two days, so Roger was filled with anticipation, “Are your preparations complete?”
“Yeah!” Lin Xinghai nodded, then clicked the “+” sign behind the shooting skill proficiency level three times in a row.
Host: Lin Xinghai
Constitution: 25 points
Strength: 21 points
Speed: 30 points
Blood Essence: 0 points
Genetic Enhancement Degree: 30%+
Ability: Extreme Speed (Increases speed by 100% for ten seconds) (Energy Value: 7/10+)
Basic Shooting Skill: Proficiency 100%+
Lin Xinghai was thrilled to see the 100% shooting skill proficiency.
Holding the firearm, he truly felt as though it was an extension of his arm—a part of his body that let him hit targets effortlessly without aiming.
He even harbored the illusion that, with a gun in hand, the world was within his grasp.
“Why is there a + sign?” After feeling out his own marksmanship, Lin Xinghai noticed that there was a plus sign behind the 100% proficiency level.
He couldn’t resist tapping it.
“Ding! Do you wish to spend 100 points of Blood Essence to upgrade it to Intermediate Shooting Skill?”
Looking at the system message that popped up, Lin Xinghai wanted to curse out loud.
He originally thought that he had finally graduated in marksmanship, but he didn’t expect that he had only graduated from the elementary level.
Of course, now was not the time to dwell on this. The dispute between Fang Tianhe and Shen Han was coming to an end.
Shen Han had already started calling for someone to pilot the mecha through the communication channel.
Lin Xinghai had to act quickly. If successful, it would be a cause for great joy.
If he failed, he would follow the plan and escape with his life.
At most, he would later find a way to ensure the survival of the Sky Fracture Mercenary Group as a way to repay them.
“Rog, hand me your Shredder Rifle and load it with armor-piercing bullets.” Lin Xinghai cast aside all distractions in his mind and said to Roger.
At the same time, he took out all the incendiary rounds from the multi-functional off-road vehicle and loaded them into the other Shredder Rifle he was holding.
Yes, this was his plan. Coordinating with others was utterly impossible to capitalize on that 0.1 seconds of opening.
Even the twins couldn’t achieve such a degree of cooperation. Even if they did, they wouldn’t have that level of shooting skill.
However, if he wielded guns in both hands, coordinating with himself, then that level of synchronization was not an issue at all.
The only question remaining was whether Lin Xinghai could achieve that feat with his current level of marksmanship.
And now, the 100% proficiency in marksmanship gave Lin Xinghai ample confidence despite it being at the elementary level.
