Chapter 37: Slaying the Crawler

  A strong gust of wind suddenly swept over, Lin Yixuan's heart was shocked, and he instinctively retreated backwards. In an instant, Lin Yixuan's body had retreated more than a few feet away, and he could feel the strong gust of wind blowing directly across his face.

  Bang...

  The ground in front of him was instantly shattered by the crawler's impact, and the splashing stones instantly shot towards Lin Yixuan.

  Lin Yixuan's body flashed quickly, instantly dodging the flying stone, while his silver gun rapidly fired at the crawler, hitting its body with over a dozen shots in the blink of an eye.

  At this moment, the situation made Lin Yixuan stunned. The bullets that originally had little effect on the crawler suddenly hit more than a dozen large holes in the crawler's body. From the wounds, it could be seen that the crawler's body was no longer regenerating. The crawler's body seemed to have lost its vitality, and it appeared that the electromagnetic gun had taken effect. Although the electromagnetic gun did not kill the crawler, it destroyed the crawler's regeneration ability, and its defense also decreased a lot. After realizing this, Lin Yixuan's face lit up with joy. The most troublesome problem of the crawler was solved, and next was to beat the fallen dog mercilessly.

  Lin Yixuan's Tang knife flashed down, and a long wound appeared on the Crawler's body. The Crawler let out a loud roar and pounced towards Lin Yixuan, who hastily dodged to the side. Although the Crawler's regenerative ability and defense had been destroyed, its attack power hadn't decreased in the slightest. If it managed to grab him with those sharp claws, several holes would appear on his body.

  After dodging the Crawler's attack, Lin Yixuan struck again, his Tang knife flashing in the moonlight as it sliced through the air, striking the Crawler's front paws. With a swift motion, he retracted his blade and swung out another strike, unleashing a powerful force that severed the Crawler's entire paw in an instant. In the blink of an eye, Lin Yixuan had unleashed five consecutive slashes, and the Crawler's body now bore five fresh wounds.

  Lin Yixuan kicked the Crawler's head with a Wind God Leg, sending its massive body flying. He then charged forward again, aiming his silver gun at the Crawler's body and firing a barrage of shots.

  The Crawler let out a mournful howl as it crashed heavily to the ground, and at this moment Lin Yixuan also pounced forward. The heavy Tang knife instantly slashed towards the Crawler's neck, and with a powerful force, the Crawler's ugly head was severed in an instant.

  The crawler struggled for a while and then slowly stopped moving, finally remaining still.

  Lin Yixuan let out a long sigh of relief, finally having dealt with the crawler. This time, he owed it to this electromagnetic gun; without it, he thought it would be impossible to inflict enough damage on the crawler.

  Lin Yixuan confirmed it again and again, only to make sure that the crawler was really dead before walking out of the tunnel. As he came out, Lin Yixuan found Alice and others hiding in a pipe not far away, looking at the exit of the tunnel with worried faces, apparently worrying about Lin Yixuan.

  "It's settled, let's move on." Lin Yixuan said calmly. However, after the battle just now, Lin Yixuan still felt his own inadequacy. His combat instincts were not sharp enough, and his control over attack methods was not in place. Sometimes, despite having a better way to attack, he would waste more effort to achieve the same effect. It seemed that his actual combat experience was still insufficient. Many things were only realized after thinking back on them later.

  "Here." Just then Alice suddenly jumped down from the pipe and came to Lin Yixuan's side, gently taking out a handkerchief and handing it to Lin Yixuan.

  Lin Yixuan only then discovered that his face had some of the liquid from killing the crawler, at first because all attention was focused on the crawler, so he didn't notice, now feeling the disgusting liquid, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and then took Alice's handkerchief to gently wipe off the liquid on his face.

  "It's better to go up quickly, it's too dangerous down here." Lin Yixuan said softly to Alice, the pipe below might have zombies jumping out at any time, he didn't want Alice to be ambushed.

  "Uh, be careful then." Alice also knew she was just a burden down there, so with Lin Yuxuan's help, she climbed back up the pipe.

  Lin Yixuan went to the front again to explore the way, fortunately, there were no zombies on this road. Lin Yixuan and others quickly passed through the underground passage and arrived at a staircase entrance nearby. Lin Yixuan led the way out and found that this should be the floor where they first entered, as the ground was filled with a large amount of water, and some offices even had half-person-deep accumulated water inside. There were not many zombies here, at least nearly a hundred, but fortunately, these zombies were relatively scattered, and many were trapped in the office.

  Lin Yixuan raised his silver gun and directly fired at the zombies in sight, fortunately Lin Yixuan's marksmanship had already reached a certain standard, although it was still not 100% accurate, but he could hit about 80%, just for a while, more than ten zombies fell under Lin Yixuan's gunfire.

  And those zombies were attracted by Lin Yixuan's gunfire, quickly rushing towards Lin Yixuan's direction, while some zombies trapped in the office swung their arms and instantly broke through the wall, rushing out directly.

  Watching those sprinting zombies, Lin Yixuan didn't show any courtesy, shooting while charging forward, and before getting close to the zombies, more than a dozen of them were taken down by Lin Yixuan.

  At close range, Lin Yixuan's Tang knife chopped out instantly, and in an instant, a zombie was cut off by Lin Yixuan and flew out. The powerful force caused the zombie to directly collide with another zombie, and then the two zombies fell to the ground.

  Lin Yixuan's figure didn't stop, relying on the speed brought by Fengshen legs, Lin Yixuan easily shuttled between zombies, the Tang knife in his hand quickly harvesting the zombies' heads. In just a short while, Lin Yixuan had already killed more than 20 zombies.

  However, with such a high-intensity attack, Lin Yixuan's body was also somewhat unable to withstand it. After this period of fighting, Lin Yixuan felt that his physical strength was being consumed extremely quickly, and now he was having some difficulty exerting himself fully.

  However, there were only a few dozen zombies left. Lin Yixuan decided to delay for some time and fight a guerrilla war, no longer fighting these zombies head-on. Although this would slow down the speed of killing zombies, it would also relatively reduce Lin Yixuan's physical consumption. Thinking of this, Lin Yixuan quickly pulled away from these zombies by a small distance.
