Star Ring

  Tason was not light, and with the addition of machine guns and bullets, he was even heavier than two Lin Tians. Fortunately, the steel rope was very sturdy, and he slid over smoothly. "Lingna, how is it?" Tana asked cautiously, holding the wheel in her hand. Lingna saw Tason come over and let out a sigh of relief, saying: "For now, no zombies have been found hiding underneath, but we still need to be careful. Those guys are cunning when they have high-level zombie commanders, even resorting to tricks like playing dead. So whether it's moving or not, just shoot its head off!" Although this was said to Tason, Lin Tian knew that Lingna was warning him. As Tason was Lingna's teammate, these circumstances were already very clear!

  "Bang!" The iron gate opposite was knocked open, and a group of zombies rushed out. Seeing that Lin Tian and the others had already escaped, they let out a furious howl! Some of the zombies even hung from the steel cables, trying to climb over, but fortunately, their intelligence was still somewhat low, and they didn't know how to use tools. However, the speed of the zombies still shocked Lin Tian greatly - in movies, zombies were slow-moving, but these post-apocalyptic zombies seemed to be only slightly slower than humans.

  "What should we do?" Ling Na said.

  Tasong furrowed his brow: "Going down from here, this area is surrounded by zombies. Without any special events, they will likely linger around for a while. We'll head downstairs and escape through the sewer, hoping there aren't too many zombies in this building!" Tasong didn't say there were no zombies; that was unlikely. In a large building like this, even if the zombies had been cleared by people before, it was probable that some would still remain!

  "I'll take the lead!" Lin Tian swung his steel knife, he was originally here to practice combat skills, hiding in the back, what's the point of that? Moreover, he could revive after death, but Ta Song and Ling Na were truly dead! This world wasn't a game, it was real life!

  Lin Tian led the way, Ta Song and Ling Na followed closely behind. The three of them slowly made their way down the stairs through the iron gate leading to the rooftop. The quiet stairwell made Lin Tian's heart feel eerie, his hand grasping the steel knife felt stiff! Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed before his eyes, a zombie's head poked out from around the corner, let out a scream and bit towards Lin Tian's left arm. Without thinking, Lin Tian swung his right hand with the steel knife, and the zombie's ugly head flew into the air, several drops of dirty blood fell onto Lin Tian's white clothes!

  "Ugh!" The scene of the splattered blood and the stench that was unbearable made Lin Tian feel a wave of dry heaves. He lived in modern society, usually just watching horror movies, where had he ever really encountered such a terrifying scene? On the rooftop it was okay, there were many zombies downstairs but they hadn't gotten close, Lin Tian still felt like nothing was wrong, but when a zombie's head was chopped off by Lin Tian, only then did he truly feel that he was already in the midst of the apocalypse. Here, slaughter was the theme, survival was the truth!

  "Bang! Bang!" Two gunshots rang out, and Lingna had blown the heads off two more zombies! "Lin Tian, haven't you adapted yet?" A hint of disdain flashed in Lingna's eyes. It had been two years since the apocalypse, and while everyone feared large hordes of zombies, individual ones were nothing to her. At first, she had appreciated Lin Tian taking the initiative to lead the way, but now his performance was making her look down on him!

  "I'm fine, I'll be okay in a bit!" Lin Tian's face was somewhat pale, but his limbs, which had just lost strength, gradually regained some energy. Ta Song said: "I'd better take the lead!" "No! I will!" Lin Tian raised the steel knife in his hand, "A knife is easier to handle than a gun in this kind of environment!"

  Three people continued to move forward, and Ling Na had just used her gun. The gunshot attracted many zombies to the stairs, but after going down three floors, the number of zombies beheaded by Ling Tian had already reached double digits. Lin Tian slowly adapted to this, with his body possessing the subtle steps of Ling Bo, making it difficult for zombies to grab or bite him. As long as he was given an opportunity, a flash of his knife would result in another excellent head!

  Later on, Ta Song and Ling Na didn't even need to fire their guns. All the zombies that got close to them were beheaded by Lin Tian with one slash of his knife. "Lin Tian, you're so powerful!" Ta Song exclaimed with a grin, having such a formidable teammate in the post-apocalyptic world was truly a fortunate thing!

  "I'm not afraid of zombies being powerful, I'm afraid of teammates being stupid!" This sentence is widely spread in the doomsday world. If you encounter a high-level zombie team and get wiped out, it's just bad luck and can't blame anyone. But if you get wiped out because of someone's serious mistake in the team, then everyone will be quite resentful!

  Ling Na's heart was filled with doubts, Lin Tian's behavior before and after was really too different. At first, he was scared stiff by the zombies, but in just a short while, it seemed like he had become a completely different person, chopping them down with incredible ferocity! Although she had been living in this post-apocalyptic world for a long time and her combat skills were quite good, she still couldn't match Lin Tian's clean and efficient zombie-slaying abilities. Her true expertise lay with guns - within 100 meters, hitting the heads of rapidly running zombies was effortless for her.

  "Master, your heartbeat is too fast, you're overexcited, and need to calm down, otherwise there's a risk of mental instability!" Xiao Ling put it mildly, but in plain words, Lin Tian was stimulated, if he didn't stop, he might become mentally ill!

  Lin Tian nodded slightly and suppressed the violent thoughts in his mind, turning to Ling Na and Ta Song: "You two keep watch, I'll take a short rest."

  Ling Na and Ta Song nodded, and the guns in their hands fired again. Ling Na pointed at the zombies one by one, while Ta Song just pressed the trigger slightly when there were many zombies, and the metal torrent of machine gun bullets would tear the nearby zombies to pieces!

  Lin Tian followed Xiao Ling's words, slowly taking deep breaths to control his emotions. His emotions were slowly controlled, but the stench of the corpse gave him the most profound "enjoyment" with each deep breath! A loud roar echoed from above his head.

  "Be careful, it's a Y2, it must have climbed over from that building next door along the steel rope!" Ling Na said urgently. Y2? It should be an evolved form of zombies, Lin Tian thought to himself, and replied in a low voice: "Leave it to me!" Ta Song and Ling Na saw Lin Tian recover, both breathed a sigh of relief, with Lin Tian's previous performance, dealing with a Y2 shouldn't be a problem. A Y2 is just a bit harder than an ordinary zombie, faster, and has an eerie third eye on its forehead.

  "Thud, thud, thud!" The rapid footsteps echoed from upstairs, and Y2 was running down the stairs. Each floor had a long corridor, and Lin Tian stood at the entrance of the corridor, waiting for Y2 to come down. Several ordinary zombies that rushed towards him were beheaded by him with one knife, and Lin Tian, who had relaxed, showed even stronger combat power. The few knives were as fast as lightning, extremely agile, and several zombies felt their heads flying off as soon as they approached within two meters of him! At this time, Lin Tian didn't even use his Lingbo Micro Step!

  "Ahhh!" Seeing its own kind being killed by Lin Tian, Y2, who had just descended to their level, let out a loud roar. The response to his roar was the wailing of ordinary zombies from all directions and the sound of them rushing over. "Lin Tian, end this quickly!" Ling Na said, firing her gun at Y2's eerie eyes on its forehead. Unexpectedly, Y2 dodged it by shaking its head, Lin Tian's eyes narrowed, able to dodge bullets with such speed, Y2's speed was off the charts! Ling Na's handgun bullet wasn't extremely fast and due to the short distance, it hadn't reached its maximum speed, but that didn't mean it could be easily dodged!

  "Take my blade!" Lin Tian shouted, his steel knife flashing towards Y2's neck. If this blow had landed, Lin Tian was certain that even if Y2's body was as hard as steel, his head would have been severed and sent flying. Y2 quickly shifted to the left, his bloody right hand probing forward, aiming straight for Lin Tian's chest. The movement was so swift and precise, it seemed as though he intended to rip out Lin Tian's heart. Judging from that blood-soaked right hand, this wasn't something he hadn't done before! "Ahh!" Lin Tian's blade may not have severed Y2's head, but it did slice off a piece of rotting flesh from his right arm. Meanwhile, Y2's right hand failed to reach Lin Tian's chest, easily dodged by Lin Tian's unorthodox footwork.

  "Lin Tian's speed isn't that fast, so how can he dodge Y2's attacks so easily!" Ling Na said in puzzlement. "If I'm not mistaken, Lin Tian is also an Evolver, but you evolved your hearing, while he evolved his reaction or something else!" Ta Song sneered with a smile, "Your abilities are all quite special, unlike me, although it seems like I've also Evolved, but it's just that my strength is a bit greater than ordinary people's!"

  At this time, Lin Tian dodged Y2's attack once again and beheaded it. "Let's go, one or two Y2s are still manageable, but more would be overwhelming!" Lin Tian said, shaking off the bloody knife.

  The remaining road did not see such a powerful zombie as Y2, and those ordinary zombies were cut down one by one like cutting vegetables by Lin Tian's mighty divine power. The front door of the first floor was tightly closed, no wonder there were no zombies rushing in from outside, but many zombies had already sensed the human aura inside and were violently hitting the iron gate, and at the window, many zombies were staring inside with their teeth biting on the steel bars!

  "We'd better leave quickly, that iron gate won't be able to hold out for much longer, there are too many zombies outside, damn it, how can there be tens of thousands of zombies gathered here, are they still holding meetings or something?!" Ta Song exclaimed urgently. Ling Na and Ta Song had both been living in the post-apocalyptic world for two years now, their experience surviving in this new world was incredibly rich, and they quickly found a sewer entrance.

  "Hurry up, through the sewer we can leave about a thousand meters away from this lost gathering place," Ling Na said, leading the way into the sewer. "Lin Tian, you walk in the middle!" Ta Song looked at Lin Tian and saw that although he was powerful, his experience didn't seem to be outstanding, so he let Lin Tian walk in the middle. This way, whether it was the front or the back, if there were any problems, Lin Tian could also provide some support.

  The flashlight lit up, and the air in the sewer didn't smell very good, but Lin Tian had just suffered from the stench of corpses, so he wasn't bothered by the slight odor in the sewer. Moving quietly, Ling Na advanced quickly, her hearing playing a greater role in such a place, and she could hear from a distance whether there were any zombies ahead.

  Ordinary zombies are not very intelligent, and without the command of higher-level zombies, they will move as soon as they smell human breath. Even if they don't smell human breath and remain still, they will involuntarily grind their teeth. From a distance, the sound of grinding teeth is inaudible to ordinary people, but someone with enhanced hearing like Ling Na can hear it.

  There were zombies in the sewer, but they were already dead and couldn't die again. They must have been cleared by people who had passed through before. Lin Tian and his group walked out very smoothly, and when they emerged from the sewer, they were already on a street far away from the zombie gathering!

  There aren't any zombies wandering around on the streets, they should all have gathered over there, but I don't know what's attracting them.

  "What a great opportunity, there's an underground parking lot over there, I'll go take a look if there are any cars. Lin Tian, you and Ling Na find some food, this time we should be able to reap quite a bit!" Ta Song said with a grin, carrying his gun quickly towards the nearby underground parking lot.

  It's been two years since the end of the world, and most vehicles outdoors have broken down and can't move. Only some cars in underground parking garages or garages are still usable, but whether they have gasoline is a big problem!

  "Come on, there's a supermarket over there, let's go find some food!" Lingna called out to Lin Tian.

  Lin Tian nodded and followed Ling Na forward. Suddenly, Ling Na made a pause gesture to Lin Tian. "What's wrong?" Lin Tian approached Ling Na and asked in a low voice. "There are people in that supermarket, be careful!" Lin Tian's heart skipped a beat. In the post-apocalyptic world, humans were also dangerous, aside from zombies. This was ironic, but it was true. For food, for survival, many people could raise their knives against their own kind!

  The only place around here that might have a lot of food is this supermarket. Linna had no choice, and cautiously made her way towards the supermarket with gun in hand.

  "For food, it's actually a matter of life and death!" Lin Tian sighed quietly, taking a step forward to block Ling Na's path, hiding behind a woman. Lin Tian didn't want to do this! He had come here to gain practical experience, and the dangerous environment would allow him to progress faster. In fact, Lin Tian was already considering staying if Ling Na and the others left - the city was more dangerous than outside, and he could train better here with Ling Po's micro-steps protecting him; his life shouldn't be so easily taken by zombies!

  "Halt, back away slowly, or else don't blame us for being impolite. This supermarket has been occupied by us, if you want to find food, trouble yourself to go elsewhere!" A bald-headed one-eyed man walked out from the shadows, holding a submachine gun aimed at Ling Na and Lin Tian.

  Ling Na took a glance around, this was a large supermarket, because it belonged to the urban area closer to the center, there were many zombies, and on the shelves here, there were still quite a few bags of food.

  "There's so much food here, even if we take it together, we can't finish it." Ling Na said softly. "Brother, why bother talking to them? Kill the men and... hehe!" A young man emerged from another corner, speaking with a lustful smile.

  "Damn it!" The bald man cursed under his breath, and if he had taken action, he would have definitely fired a shot. But the gunshot would have attracted those tens of thousands of zombies from kilometers away! If not for this consideration, he wouldn't have wasted any more words and would have opened fire before Ling Na and the others got close!
