After confirming that the two men before him were the intruders he needed to eliminate, Lin Dong did not act immediately.
To do a job well, first sharpen your tools!
Their origins were mysterious and their abilities unknown. He had to ensure his own safety before making a move.
Lin Dong opened his status panel, looked at the learning points he had just obtained, and spent them on the Breath Concealment Art without hesitation.
[Ding! You have spent 1 learning point to raise the skill "Breath Concealment Art" to: advanced qi concealment!] [Ding! You have spent 1 learning point to raise the skill "Breath Concealment Art" to: beginner breath concealment!] [Ding! Learning points depleted. Exiting learning mode...]
The instant Lin Dong raised the Breath Concealment Art to its highest realm, his body reacted.
He felt an invisible curtain of water slowly unfurl from above his head, enveloping his entire body and isolating him from the outside world!
It was an extraordinary sensation!
Lin Dong could clearly sense that every sound he made was absorbed by this curtain and vanished without a trace.
At the same time, he blended more seamlessly with his surroundings!
It was as though his entire body had melted into the darkness!
[Breath Concealment Art!] [Realm: beginner breath concealment] [Effects: imperceptible to the naked eye, undetectable presence, sound suppression, complete concealment without a trace. Concealment effectiveness +160%!] [Duration: 20 minutes while moving, 30 hours while stationary!]
"Twenty minutes?!"
Lin Dong had never imagined that advancing its realm would produce such an incredible result!
What did twenty minutes of unrestricted movement while invisible mean?
In a clash between experts, a single second could decide life or death!
Twenty minutes meant Lin Dong would hold the absolute initiative!
With that thought, Lin Dong pulled an arrow from his backpack, larger than an ordinary sleeve arrow.
An Armor-Piercing Arrow!
One hundred thousand apiece!
The item Lin Dong had bought to save his life was finally coming into play.
Click!
Lin Dong loaded the Armor-Piercing Arrow with a faint sound, but before it could travel outward, the curtain of water before him absorbed it completely.
Faint ripples spread across the curtain.
His confidence surged at the sight, and he took aim with the Silent Sleeve Arrow in his hand!
The next instant!
The arrow shot out!
Silent and traceless, as though it had never existed, the Armor-Piercing Arrow streaked forward at tremendous speed and plunged viciously into Number Three's loose black robe.
Shhk!
Number Three looked down in disbelief at the Armor-Piercing Arrow that had pierced his chest. He staggered and collapsed to the floor!
"Number Three!"
Number Seven shouted and hurried forward to check his injuries.
"Don't! Don't come over!"
Enduring the agonizing pain, Number Three ordered weakly, "Kill him first! Find the assassin!"
"He's probably the one carrying Steel Bone!"
At those words, Number Seven instantly turned toward the direction from which the Silent Sleeve Arrow had fired!
Lin Dong marveled at what he heard, silently thankful that he had chosen to kill Number Three first.
Number Seven was formidable, but brainless.
Number Three's temperament was hard to read, but people like that were all the more dangerous. He had to be eliminated as soon as possible!
"Die!"
Number Seven roared, bent down, grabbed two zombies, and hurled them toward the spot where Lin Dong had just fired!
Bang!
Bang!
The two zombies slammed into the train windows with a tremendous crash, but failed to force Lin Dong out.
"Huh?!"
Confusion filled Number Seven's eyes.
Shhk!
The next instant!
The sound of an arrow piercing flesh rang out again!
"Shit!"
Number Seven's expression changed abruptly. He hastily turned around and discovered that another bolt had somehow appeared in the head of Number Three, who was lying on the floor!
"There's more than one of them?!"
Number Seven's first reaction was that Lin Dong was not alone. The arrow had come from the exact opposite direction. One person could not possibly have done that.
If someone hiding in the darkness had actually moved, he should have noticed.
Otherwise, how terrifying would someone who could move while remaining perfectly hidden in the darkness be?!
Number Seven would rather believe this was a coordinated attack than accept that someone could move freely while remaining concealed.
Unfortunately.
Number Seven had encountered the worst-case scenario.
Following the principle of firing once and changing positions, Lin Dong had already begun moving the instant his arrow left the launcher.
Like a silent ghost, he drifted around Number Seven, never drawing close.
The only connection between them was a stream of arrows!
Shhk!
Shhk!
Shhk!
In Lin Dong's hands, the Silent Sleeve Arrow was like a machine gun. In just a few breaths, he turned Number Seven into a porcupine!
"Heh... hehehe!"
Number Seven suddenly let out a cold laugh, eerie and sinister. He tore open his black robe, revealing his true appearance.
"A Russian?"
Lin Dong was somewhat surprised to see a muscular Russian man beneath the black robe.
"Number Thirteen, target confirmed!"
The Russian, Number Seven, suddenly spread his arms. Wearing a sickly smile of satisfaction, he fell backward. "Grab him!"
Bait?!
Alarm bells blared in Lin Dong's mind, and he instinctively glanced at the train model!
The red dots representing the intruders had somehow reached the entrance to Car 13. They were now only half a meter away from him!
Damn it!
Lin Dong had no time to ponder how they had teleported. His immediate choice was to run!
But!
When Lin Dong turned toward Car 15, the Tyrant Zombie that had been pursuing the Korean was already blocking its entrance.
And the doorway at the other end had somehow become packed with zombies!
Not one.
Not ten.
An entire wall!
That was right. There were so many zombies at the entrance to Car 14 that they had formed a solid wall!
There had to be several hundred of them!
They blocked the doorway, roaring madly!
Roar!
A beastlike bellow erupted from the Tyrant Zombie's throat!
The next instant!
Hundreds of zombies surged into the car!
In a flash!
The car was packed to bursting. Lin Dong instantly felt as though he were being crushed flat in a holiday travel rush!
Fortunately!
Lin Dong had upgraded the Breath Concealment Art beforehand!
Now he made no sound, gave off no presence, and could neither be heard nor seen.
Even face-to-face with him, the zombies could not locate him!
Looking at the zombie's gray-white eyes right in front of him, Lin Dong felt his heart leap into his throat. His mind raced, searching for a way out!
Roar!
At the same time, the enormous Tyrant let out another bellow!
The next instant!
Something Lin Dong had never anticipated suddenly happened!
At the Tyrant's roar, the zombies began tearing into one another. Blood splattered and brain matter flew everywhere!
Damn it!
Lin Dong could not help cursing inwardly at the sight!
Clearly, whoever was controlling them was using the crudest yet most practical method to force him out of hiding!
Lin Dong had only vanished from sight. He had not actually ceased to exist!
If blood splashed onto him, it would still leave marks on his body!
And those marks would inevitably expose him!
