Downstairs at the hotel, Lin Xinyun waved her hand, and an SUV appeared out of thin air beside everyone.
"This spatial ability is really convenient." Bai Kailei had lost count of how many times he had expressed his envy.
"Who among you can drive?" Lin Huai asked.
Zhao Hu said, "I know how, but I don't have the skills!"
After saying that, Zhao Hu shook his head and chuckled, "It's the end of the world, what do we need capital for?"
Taking the Key from Lin Xinyun, Zhao Hu got into the driver's seat, started the car smoothly, and drove straight out of the city after everyone got in.
There were still a few zombies appearing along the way, but Lin Xinyun easily dealt with them all with a Blade of Space, and at the same time stored the crystal cores into her Personal Space.
The movements were relaxed and comfortable.
When encountering cars stuck in the middle of the road, Lin Xinyun would suggest putting the car into her Personal Space and then tossing it to the side of the road.
And so, the three of them left the city and drove onto the Dayuan Expressway.
"Look at the roadside!" Bai Kailei shouted, pointing outside the car.
The others had actually seen it long ago as well.
The crops on both sides of the road were all withered and dead, turned into a dark mass, lying prostrate in the fields, looking extremely eerie.
"Can the Demon Lord Virus even affect crops?" Zhao Hu asked, frowning.
"Why are only these crops affected? The other flowering plants and trees are unaffected?" Yao Yunhe asked.
Lin Huai explained, "The reason crops are affected is because most crop seeds are genetically modified, and the companies behind these genetically modified seeds all have Shadow the Demon Lord Organization."
" The Demon Lord Organization deserves to die!" Bai Kailei roared.
"They deserve to die; their goal is to wipe humanity out of the world," Lin Huai continued.
"What a bunch of Madman."
Yes, they really are a bunch of Madman, a bunch of Madman who deserve to be torn to pieces.
In his previous life, the Demon Lord was only known during the Myth Era, but by then the Demon Lord Organization had already grown into a behemoth that no one could stop.
A perfectly good world has been ruined by these scumbags, and what's worse, these Madman are smug about it, calling themselves the gods who created the world.
Revive this life, Lin Huai is determined to teach these Madman a lesson.
Ling Yi watched everyone intently the entire time. If Lin Huai's world had such Madman, he wondered if his world did too. Perhaps it did!
After all, people are multifaceted, and life is full of all sorts of wonderful things; it's hard to guarantee that your own world won't have the same kind of Madman.
Oh, by the way, the chances of something as crazy as having Underground People watching over humanity in one's own world are slim.
It's truly both pathetic and laughable, the jailer
At this moment, Lin Huai and his group had arrived at a tunnel.
But just before entering the tunnel, Lin Huai patted Zhao Hu on the shoulder. "Stop the car, there's something in the tunnel."
Without hesitation, Zhao Hu parked the car directly in front of the tunnel.
Each person, carrying a Tang sword in one hand and a pistol in the other, got out of the car one after another, their eyes warily fixed on the direction of the tunnel.
Although it was broad daylight, the tunnel was dark, and sunlight could only penetrate half of it, making it impossible to see what was inside.
"Same as always!" Lin Huai said, twirling his Tang sword before heading into the tunnel.
Zhao Hu was to Ling Yi's left, Yao Yunhe and Bai Kailei were to Ling Yi's right, and Lin Xinyun followed behind the four of them, providing support from both sides.
After working together for so many days, the group had already developed a certain level of understanding.
None of the five spoke, and they followed Lin Huai into the tunnel.
As soon as they entered the tunnel, a chilling wind carrying a putrid stench wafted out, and everyone focused their Divine Power intensely.
Such a strong stench of decay means there must be a large number of zombies.
" Xinyun, turn on the light!" Lin Huai said.
As soon as Lin Huai finished speaking, two high-powered searchlights appeared on the left and right sides.
Two beams of light, one red and one white, pierced through the tunnel and shone into its depths, instantly illuminating the entire tunnel in Gao Qing light!
"Holy crap, what is this thing?" Bai Kailei exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the scene before him.
His voice startled a group of monsters that were devouring zombies inside the tunnel.
That's right, it's Mutant Beast that eats zombies, or more accurately, Zombie Beast.
There are two branches of Mutant Beast: Zombie Beast and Evolved Beast.
Like Zombie Beast, zombie beasts undergo tremendous Changes in their bodily functions, rely entirely on the Demon Lord Virus to survive, are full of aggressiveness, and eat almost anything, including zombies.
Zombie Beast only have one chance to mutate and do not evolve like zombies, but in the early stages of the apocalypse, Zombie Beast were the nightmare of almost all living beings.
The Zombie Beast start with strength of level 1 or higher, are insane and irrational; their sole purpose is to eat and destroy.
Zombie Beast often appear in groups, and wherever they go, they will not let go of anything edible.
The key point is that these Zombie Beast are worthless. Although they have all the characteristics of zombies, they do not have crystal cores inside their bodies.
Because they lack crystal cores, the Zombie Beast lost the possibility of advancing.
Shortly after the Second Tier of the apocalypse, these Zombie Beast were gradually slaughtered by Awakened, advanced zombies, or Evolved Beast, and they withdrew from the stage of the apocalypse.
Its existence lasted for less than six months.
But in the early stages of the apocalypse, these Zombie Beast were the most terrifying beings.
As for Evolved Beast, they are roughly equivalent to Awakened among humans, possessing not only powerful physical bodies but also various supernatural abilities.
After the Myth era, some Evolved Beast have advanced to the level of being comparable to divine beasts.
" Leizi!" Zhao Hu was somewhat annoyed.
This guy is always loud and boisterous, and very carefree.
It wouldn't be a problem under normal circumstances, but making a sound at a time like this is absolutely deadly.
Bai Kailei realized he had made a mistake and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I couldn't help it!"
" Leizi, I hope you won't make this mistake again. If it happens again, you'll be leaving!" Zhao Hu's voice was colder than ever before.
The most terrifying thing about a team is these incompetent teammates. Bai Kailei's sudden outburst could very well cost the entire team its life.
If Lin Huai didn't say it, then he had to say it.
"I... I understand." Bai Kailei showed no dissatisfaction. He wasn't unreasonable; a real fool wouldn't associate with Zhao Hu.
"Prepare for Combat. Xinyun, you don't need to participate for now!" Lin Huai waved his hand and said.
Lin Huai paid no attention to the conversation between Zhao Hu and Bai Kailei. In any case, they were going to have to fight these Zombie Beast in close combat.
They were discovered by the Zombie Beast the moment they entered the tunnel.
"This is Zombie Rat, a level 2 Zombie Beast, currently the most terrifying Zombie Beast, bar none," Lin Huai said slowly, watching the Zombie Rat charge towards him.
"My God, is this Haozi? This thing is almost the size of a grown wild boar!" Yao Yunhe exclaimed in surprise.
Upon closer inspection, however, these monsters do indeed resemble rats, though their size is truly chilling.
" The Zombie Beast start with strength of level 1 or higher, and a small number of Zombie Beast even reach level 5 or higher."
"If we kill these Zombie Beast, wouldn't we get a large number of level 2 crystal cores?" Zhao Hu's eyes lit up.
" Zombie Beast, no crystal core!" Lin Huai slashed down a Zombie Rat that charged at him, his voice still calm and unhurried.
"Why is there no crystal core?" Lin Xinyun asked.
"When!"
Bai Kailei swung his sword at the head of a Zombie Rat, but only cut halfway through.
He watched Lin Huai kill the Zombie Rat with a single strike and assumed that the Zombie Rat was not that strong, so he did not use his full strength in that strike.
"Is this Zombie Rat's head that hard?" Bai Kailei exclaimed again after kicking the Zombie Rat away.
Level 2 monsters? They're not so easy to deal with. They're only level 1 Evolver.
Lin Huai shook his head; Bai Kailei's personality was indeed a bit problematic.
"In this apocalyptic world, remember this: give it your all in every Combat, take every enemy seriously, for you only have one life."
Lin Huai's Tang sword had already turned into a series of afterimages, and one Zombie Rat after another was slain.
In the blink of an eye, a dozen or so Zombie Rat corpses were piled up in front of him.
Everyone took Lin Huai's words seriously.
Lin Huai is right. This is the apocalypse. You only have one life. Any mistake could be fatal.
As the Combat, Zhao Hu and his companions quickly felt the pressure. The Zombie Rat were weaker than them, but their speed was extremely fast.
However, Zhao Hu and his companions were only level 1 and lacked Fighting skills. After killing a few Zombie Rat, they became somewhat flustered.
They had to move closer to Lin Huai, with Lin Huai leading the attack and Zhao Hu and the other two providing support from the rear.
Lin Xinyun never made a move. She probably guessed that Lin Huai was training his troops and also giving Bai Kailei and the others a warning.
Zhao Hu is doing well, always very stable, but Bai Kailei and Yao Yunhe have been acting a bit too wildly lately.
Their increased strength had made them somewhat arrogant, and Lin Huai was taking this opportunity to make them realize that they were still weak.
Although Lin Huai killed the Zombie Rat very quickly, there were simply too many of Zombie Rat.
Lin Huai could hold on, but Zhao Hu and the other two could not.
In just over ten minutes, the three were forced back by the Zombie Rat, gradually widening the distance between themselves and Lin Huai, and eventually leaving Lin Huai's protective range.
The three had no choice but to huddle together, back to back, and continue Combat the Zombie Rat.
Although Lin Xinyun still didn't make a move, she was highly focused, ready to act immediately should Zhao Hu and the other two be in danger.
As for Lin Huai, Lin Xinyun wasn't worried about him at all.
Even when surrounded by Zombie Rat, this guy remained incredibly steady, easily killing all the approaching Zombie Rat.
Another twenty minutes passed, and Zhao Hu and the other two were covered in sweat, their stamina severely depleted. They had reached their Limit.
But all three of them gritted their teeth and persevered, and none of them asked for help.
Lin Xinyun could see through Lin Huai's intentions, and so could the other three.
" Xinyun, make your move!"
Lin Huai was quite satisfied with the three's performance; at least their willpower was commendable, and the purpose of their admonition had been achieved.
