Blue Equipment!?

Lin An's eyes burned. The equipment that Players across Lin Jiang City had dreamed of in his Previous Life was right before him. 520 Official Website

Although he could not view its attributes before obtaining it.

Lin An was certain that this equipment was Skull Crusher's Hand!

"Whoosh."

Lin An held the Bone Spike against the Zombie Doctor's head and instantly drove it in partway.

With only a little more force, he could churn its brain to pieces.

Before Lin An's staggering 21 points of Strength, the Zombie's reinforced bones were as brittle as crackers.

"Trade my item for your life."

"Not enough."

Lin An tilted his head, his gaze fixed on the flesh-and-blood skeleton.

"It... is... mine..."

"If I kill you, it'll be mine."

Lin An rudely cut off the Zombie Doctor.

The department doors would not hold for much longer.

If this Zombie could only speak but offered no value, there was no need for him to waste any more time.

He had promised Wen Ya that he would check the nearby building if he could, and the Dispensary Zhang Tie had mentioned was also worth visiting.

Time was pressing. If he delayed until nightfall.

Zombies became far more terrifying at night. Getting trapped in a Zombie Crowd again would be far too dangerous.

"No!"

Humanlike fury appeared in the Zombie Doctor's scarlet eyes.

Interesting.

It could actually get angry—and suppress its emotions.

Lin An fell into thought.

Silence.

The Zombie Doctor stood frozen in place, seemingly hesitating over something.

Hesitating?

Lin An's heart stirred. If this Zombie possessed intelligence, it would naturally realize that if it offered no value, it would definitely die.

Then what was it hesitating over?

Lin An deliberately showed impatience. His right hand holding the spike exerted a slight force, pretending he was about to strike.

The next second, he would stir its skull to pieces.

"Thing... have!"

It sensed Lin An's Killing Intent and, in its panic, struggled to force out several words.

"What thing?"

"Say one more useless word and I'll kill you."

"And take off the Glove. Otherwise, I'll chop off your hand."

"No... can't!... If... take off... die!"

A flash of terror crossed its eyes, and it instinctively shielded its right hand.

"Take it off, or die now!"

Lin An's Killing Intent burst forth, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees.

Its rage reached its limit, and it seemed unable to suppress its craving for flesh any longer.

"Roar!"

The doctor Zombie's gloved right hand suddenly shot toward Lin An's chest in a bizarre motion.

Rather than it exerting force, it was more like the Glove had dragged its entire body charging toward Lin An.

Courting death!

"Crack."

Expressionless, Lin An directly twisted off its right hand.

"Crunch."

He kicked out, the explosive force crushing its knee and exposing jagged white bone.

The gap in strength between a First Order Mutant and Lin An was far beyond what a single Glove could make up for.

Besides, this thing could only be considered Pseudo-First Order.

Lin An picked up the severed hand from the floor and directly pulled off the Glove.

Blue ripples occasionally radiated from the Glove on the severed hand.

"Beep, obtained Blue Equipment: Skull Crusher's Hand (Fine Rank)" "Skull Crusher's Hand, Blue Fine Rank: Equipment level requirement: Level 1 (Tier 1)" "Equipment attribute: Strength +5." "Additional effect: ???" "Equipment evaluation: This equipment is missing a key component. Perhaps you can find a way to complete it and unleash its true power." "After completing the equipment, its quality will rise from Fine Rank to Epic Rank."

At the center of the Glove was a spot where something should have been embedded.

Lin An could not wait any longer and immediately put on the Glove.

He let out a muffled groan.

As though alive, the Glove suddenly tightened around his right hand, clinging tightly to his flesh.

At the same time, a surging force flowed from the Glove into his heart.

"Beep, Strength Attribute +5."

Lin An's expression brightened with delight.

Although the Potion and Strength Burst had already ended, his Strength Attribute had dropped back to 19.4.

But after equipping Skull Crusher's Hand, his Strength instantly broke past the limit of 21 points, reaching 24.4.

In his normal state, he now possessed strength comparable to Peak First Order.

If he activated Strength Burst again and drank the Potion, his Strength could reach as high as 27.4!

He was completely closing in on Second Order!

It was only the third day since the Doomsday Game began, yet he already possessed such strength.

Even Lin An himself found this rate of growth hard to believe.

He clenched his fist, and a sharp crack of bones echoed through the air.

With one punch, he could probably smash a light Armored Car to pieces!

The feeling of growing stronger was intoxicating.

Lin An looked at the blank space missing from the Glove, somewhat puzzled.

A key component? Its true power?

It was difficult to imagine what effects would appear once this Glove was completed.

It truly deserved to be called the Doom Equipment that countless Players in Linjiang had praised and coveted in his Previous Life.

Just as Lin An was thinking.

A flash of terror crossed the Zombie Doctor's eyes. Fearless of pain, it ignored the agony of its broken legs.

Without hesitation, it used its one remaining hand to rapidly claw at the windowsill, trying to escape the department.

Lin An sneered.

Still trying to run?

Force whistled through the air as he reached one hand toward the Zombie's head and easily tore the head off.

The headless body continued clawing at the windowsill on instinct.

To a doctor turned Zombie, such injuries were not fatal.

In Lin An's hand, the head's mouth opened and closed, its eyes filled with venom.

For Zombies, as long as their brains were not destroyed, any injury was irrelevant.

"Three seconds. Tell me where the missing component of the Glove is."

"Three."

"Two."

The countdown to death.

The venom in the Zombie Doctor's eyes was replaced by Fear.

Those with intelligence feared death.

"Save... person... I... tell... you!"

"Person and... thing... in next... building!"

Under the threat of death, its speech was forced to become a little faster.

Lin An's heart stirred.

Save someone?

The neighboring building?

Wasn't that the building where Wen Ya's Mother was?!

The adjacent inpatient building might not have as many Zombies as this place, but there would not be too few either.

Unlike the emergency surgery department's open hall-and-corridor layout, the inpatient building was packed with rooms.

With Zombies capable of ambushing him, its danger would not be lower than here.

"Why is it there? Are you trying to trick me into going over?"

Lin An asked in a low voice, directly ignoring the words "save someone."

But after hearing the Zombie Doctor say that, he was certain that even if the key component was not there, that building probably contained something.

When he had entered, this Zombie had been standing with its back to him, staring at that building the entire time.

"Beg... you... don't refuse... there... my... child."

"Glove... his... gift! Thing... there!"
