Immediate Departure

"Fuck! A Level 2 zombie!?"

Startled cries rang out. They were all scared shitless!

Level 1 zombies were already so hard to deal with, let alone Level 2 ones!

No wonder Lu Xingyuan had run off so fast!

Was this the keen instinct of a big shot?

"Wait for me!"

They all turned their heads, only to find that Lu Xingyuan had already run far away without the slightest hesitation.

Moreover, Lu Xingyuan had even taken the initiative to fire at the Strength-type zombie.

The bullets struck its mountain-like body, yet failed to inflict the lethal, effective damage they had caused on ordinary zombies before.

Good.

Lu Xingyuan had already gauged its defenses. He then raised the muzzle slightly, aimed at its head, and unleashed a burst of bullets.

The Strength-type zombie sensed the danger and raised a hand to shield its head, blocking every bullet.

Good.

It wasn't completely without weaknesses.

Lu Xingyuan nodded in satisfaction and stopped looking back, focusing instead on fleeing, because the Strength-type zombie had been successfully enraged!

"Roar!"

It let out an earth-shaking roar. The narrow corridor was instantly filled with a pungent, bloody stench. Its heavy body thundered with every step, like a tank rolling across the ground.

The Strength-type zombie's weakness was its movement speed, but even so, it was not something ordinary people like them could match. In the blink of an eye, it caught a woman!

"N-No... don't kill me!"

She screamed in terror, but there was no stopping her frail body from being smashed apart with a single slap.

Strength-type zombies were called Strength-type because they possessed horrifyingly exaggerated power!

The woman's mangled remains were stuffed into its mouth and chewed frantically, but the Strength-type zombie did not stop moving. It quickly locked onto its next target and gave chase!

The screams and fleeing footsteps gradually moved down from the rooftop—twelfth floor, eleventh floor, tenth floor... At the brink of life and death, everyone unleashed potential beyond imagination. None of them gave up struggling.

Meanwhile, the once-noisy rooftop had instead fallen quiet. It seemed that all danger had vanished, leaving only the Level 2 treasure chest shimmering with silver radiance beneath the daylight.

At that moment, ripples suddenly spread through space, and an honest-looking man silently appeared there.

He cautiously surveyed his surroundings. After confirming there was no danger, he slowly approached the Level 2 treasure chest. He tried his best to restrain the surging emotions in his heart, yet excitement still gleamed uncontrollably in his eyes.

"It's only human nature. After all, it's a Level 2 treasure chest. Even I'm excited."

Unfortunately for him, a voice rang out behind him at the most inappropriate moment. The man froze instantly, then spun around to see a familiar face.

The other person held a submachine gun, its muzzle aimed directly at him, looking ready to fire at any time.

"Is this the ability of your talent?"

"Or some kind of item with supernatural abilities?"

The man's face stiffened as he tentatively spoke.

"The stuff from the treasure chest... we split it half and half? Don't go too far. If we both go down, neither of us benefits!"

"When the fuck did I become a beggar on my knees?"

Lu Xingyuan felt thoroughly insulted.

"If you fire..."

The man reminded him emotionally, but halfway through, he realized his voice was too loud and quickly lowered it several notches.

"The gunshots will definitely draw that Level 2 zombie over here. When that happens, neither of us will have a good time, understand?"

"Look at this."

Lu Xingyuan raised his fist.

The man froze. Before he could react, Lu Xingyuan lunged forward and smashed his fist into the man's face.

Having been strengthened by genetic medicine, Lu Xingyuan possessed astonishing strength. That punch sent stars spinning before the man's eyes.

"Bro... I was wrong..."

The man immediately behaved himself.

Were you asking for it or what?

Did you have to get beaten before you would behave?

"Then hurry up and explain yourself."

Lu Xingyuan gave him another two bang bang punches.

"Talent! That's right, it's a talent!"

The man covered his head with both hands, terrified of being hit again.

His talent was called Shadow Shift. It allowed him to travel a short distance from one place to another.

He had just shifted here from the twelfth floor.

Lu Xingyuan's expression darkened.

"Then can you shift into someone else's train?"

The man shrank his neck and secretly glanced at Lu Xingyuan.

Lu Xingyuan punched him again.

"Talk!"

"I-I can."

"You bastard, that's sneaky as hell?!"

Lu Xingyuan was nearly scared shitless.

Luckily, he had been cautious and kept the man under his watch. Otherwise, if he had let him move freely, wouldn't he have ended up starring in the classic "sleeping husband" scenario?

After entering a train, the man could freely open and close its doors through the control console.

"Bro, you're overthinking it! How could I dare have such thoughts? If you found out, wouldn't you gun me down on the spot?"

The man hurriedly claimed that he was an honest man and would never do something so treacherous.

"Besides, everyone can only depart at eleven o'clock anyway. It's not like I could run off early, right?"

Lu Xingyuan thought about it. That seemed to be true.

The man let out a breath of relief.

"Then... can you let me go? I don't want this Level 2 treasure chest anymore."

He added, "Bro, you should hurry up. If that Level 2 zombie suddenly comes back, things will get troublesome."

Lu Xingyuan nodded. "Makes sense."

Before the joy on the man's face could fully emerge, a bullet pierced his chest the next second, instantly freezing his expression.

"You..."

"Take a deep breath. The dizziness is normal."

Only after the man had completely stopped breathing did Lu Xingyuan begin searching him.

What was this?

A metal card?

[Immediate Departure]

[Category: Extraordinary Creation · One-time Consumable]

[Level: 1]

[Description: Upon activation, your train can ignore platform stay rules and depart immediately.]

"..."

With the Shadow Shift talent plus this item card, he could completely empty out Lu Xingyuan's train and still retreat unscathed!

That honest man wasn't honest at all!

It wasn't an undeserved kill.

After confirming that the man had no other valuable items on him, Lu Xingyuan hurriedly picked up the Level 2 treasure chest and sprinted toward another corridor!

A desperate retreat!

He smelled it. He could already smell that bloody stench!

The Level 2 zombie had returned!

A roar filled with boundless fury came from behind him, followed by the violent trembling of the floor as if it were about to collapse!

Lu Xingyuan's ass clenched hard. He wished he could hit the nitro boost.

Damn legs, run!
