Killing the zombie leader will only result in the emergence of a new one.
Moreover, it could easily put Ling Yi and this newly born Ling Yi race on the opposite side.
Ling Yi and his team's goal was survival, not clearing out zombies, but simply to survive in the Mission World and improve their rating.
Therefore, in this situation, Intimidation is more effective than killing.
"Hopefully this zombie isn't one of those stubborn fools!" Ling Yi murmured.
"A stubborn blockhead?" Fan Shuang'er asked, puzzled.
"Right!"
What is a stubborn, inflexible person?
"He's the kind of stubborn person who doesn't know what's good for him and can't see the bigger picture."
"For example, if someone slaps you, wouldn't you be angry? Of course you would be angry, right? If you have a bad temper, you'd probably retaliate fiercely."
"Yeah, why did you hit me?" Fan Shuang'er said, waving her fist.
"But what if you're unarmed, and the other person has a Charge, plus a bunch of Xiao Di following behind?"
"That depends on the situation, right?"
"What if you happen to have unarmed family or friends with you? And the other person hits you... simply because they want to eat an orange from your hand."
"Do you dare to make a move? Will you give me the oranges or not?"
Fan Shuang'er made a gesture of surrender.
Marco Ngai, a pragmatist, seeks Seek Fortune and Avoid Misfortune; this is the normal choice for most people.
It's just an orange; it doesn't involve any beliefs or faith. Only a fool would be so reckless as to risk their life.
"I understand. So, what are your plans?"
What to do? Of course, start by slapping him.
Ling Yi swiped across the Computer screen, and instantly a long trench appeared in the ground in front of the zombie leader.
The zombie leader looked around in confusion, not understanding how the enemy had made their move or what they intended to do.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The zombies in the ditch were all instantly blown apart, their heads exploding and they collapsed to the ground.
But the zombies outside the ravine were unaffected.
The zombie leader Roar in anger, and his zombie Xiao Di began to become agitated as well.
Many zombie Xiao Di leaped over the ravine and howled towards the direction of Bree City.
Having acquired intelligence, they had clearly determined that the enemy was within the Bree City.
I don't know how they did it.
"Bang bang bang..."
Any zombie that crossed the zombie ditch had its head explode and then pounced on another group of them.
The zombie leader finally understood the meaning of the ravine.
This is a warning line; anyone who crosses it will be killed.
But the moment the zombie leader had this thought, his shoulder exploded.
An arm flew off.
This is clearly telling you that those who cross the line will die. This is just a warning, and it's also our bottom line.
But that doesn't mean you're safe outside of the online world. Laozi can kill you anytime I want.
Then, Ling Yi circled a circle on the screen.
And this circle happens to enclose the Bree City.
All zombies within the circle were killed.
The zombie leader understood Ling Yi's meaning. It looked at its own arm and then at the direction of Bree City.
He roared angrily a few times, then turned and left.
As the zombie leader left, the zombies surrounding the Bree City gradually dispersed, leaving only a dozen or so scattered zombies wandering outside the cordon.
"Is that all?" Fan Shuang'er asked.
"No, that's not enough. Lock onto the zombie leader and tell me his location in ten minutes."
"Good!"
Ling Yi made himself a cup of coffee, sat leisurely on the sofa, and smiled slightly as he watched the zombies retreat more than ten miles away.
Then he looked at Fan Shuang'er.
This Harley Quinn is far too valuable to him; the two complement each other, and their combined effect far exceeds 1+1.
If only I could keep this woman by my side forever.
Of course, this is just something to think about.
Both sides are currently wearing masks, even while eating and sleeping, which alone proves that a long-term collaboration between them is virtually impossible.
Because Ling Yi couldn't possibly tell the other party his ID, and the other party couldn't possibly tell him his ID either.
Without an ID, you can't contact anyone in the real world, and without contact, it's very difficult to randomly be assigned to the same Mission World the next time you log in.
But it doesn't matter, my strength will definitely improve after this Mission World.
Whether or not we have helpers at that time will not matter.
Ten minutes later, the zombie leader had only retreated five kilometers.
He leaped onto the roof of a church, looked in the direction of the Bree City, and let out a series of low growls.
"This zombie's Self-Healing ability is too exaggerated. The arm you blew off has actually grown back in the Kung Fu Hustle it took," Fan Shuang'er exclaimed in surprise.
"Ten minutes are up!"
Ling Yi nodded and waved at the zombies on the screen.
The next moment, the zombie leader's shoulder exploded again, and the arm that had just grown back was gone once more.
And this was the real slap Ling Yi delivered to the zombie leader.
He was telling the zombie leader, "I will kill you as easily as killing an ant, no matter where you are."
That warning line is just the bottom line.
"Never mind him anymore. Just keep an eye on this area. If any zombies appear, notify me immediately."
"Is that all?"
"Probably. If this zombie leader is asking for it, we can just slap him again."
The effect is obvious.
In the following month, not only did the zombie leader not appear, but not a single zombie dared to show its face within the cordon.
Yes, not a single one.
Day 65, the seventh stage.
Ling Yi and his team have now achieved an A-level rating, the highest rating ever recorded among all Chosen One in the world.
" Joker, look at your Chosen One interface, something's not right!" Fan Shuang'er frowned.
Ling Yi pressed a button on his right wrist, and instead of the system interface, a prompt window appeared.
[Other people detected. Set to private view only?] [Yes] / [No]
Ling Yi was taken aback. So, the system interface allowed for security settings?
Just as Ling Yi was about to select "Yes", a thought struck him, and he pressed "No".
[Do you want to hide your Chosen One data interface?] [Yes] / [No]
A few seconds later, Ling Yi's data interface appeared out of thin air.
[ Chosen One: Hidden]
[Level: Hidden]
[Points: Hidden]
[ Battle Power: Hidden]
[Number of Chosen One: 5/80]
[Skill List][Click to Expand]
[Task List][Click to Expand]
{Sole Mission (A-level rating completed): Survive! The longer you survive, the higher your rating!} [ Knockback ]
[ Points Store ][Click to Expand]
Fan Shuang'er looked at Ling Yi's almost entirely hidden data, and her beautiful face beneath the Harley Quinn mask twitched slightly.
That's really quite alarming.
"Five people left?" Ling Yi quickly realized the problem.
"Besides us and the Young Master of the Wanjin Group, there's another Chosen One. But how has he managed to hold out until now?"
Ling Yi didn't think much of it, shrugging and saying, "This has nothing to do with us, right? Maybe they were lucky and found a good safe house."
"Or perhaps, the opponent is simply more powerful!"
Fan Shuang'er shook her head. "Impossible!"
"Even if you're lucky enough to find a safe house, you can only survive until the second phase at most. It's absolutely impossible to make it past the Third Tier."
"By the Third Tier, the zombies' Sense of Smell, hearing, and sight have become Transcendent. It's absolutely impossible for the Chosen One to avoid their Perception!"
Even if the opponent can survive the Third Tier, they definitely won't survive the Fourth Tier.
"I'll show you a set of images!" Fan Shuang'er tapped on the screen.
The next moment, a set of videos was brought up.
In the video, a zombie is raising its head, its nose twitching as if it's sniffing something, before locking onto a certain direction.
Then, he made a preparatory movement for Leap, and the next moment, he soared into the air.
In less than five minutes, the zombie hopped and skipped across a grove of trees and appeared on a plain.
Ahead lay the Bree City, where Ling Yi and his companions were currently located.
"This footage is from a month ago, when we had just finished clearing out the zombies in Bree City."
"The initial location of this zombie was 3.5 kilometers from the Bree City."
"Back then, even zombies in the Fourth Tier could smell the Aura living people 3.5 kilometers away."
"Now, it's probably going to be even more powerful."
Ling Yi pursed his lips, "That's a bit of an exaggeration!"
If it weren't for the effectiveness of their Intimidation plan, they would probably be in a state of chaos right now.
So, what is your conclusion?
"The fifth person is in Bree City, at least within the safe zone."
Ling Yi simply shrugged indifferently.
Even so, so what? Do we really have to find and kill them? There's no need for that.
At best, this person is Luck. Perhaps he was hiding in Bree City all along, and Ling Yi and the others were the ones who Later.
Seeing Ling Yi's nonchalant attitude, Fan Shuang'er said seriously, "We must find him, and we must do so before the Seventh Tier is completed."
Once the Seventh Tier is completed, it means that this person will receive an S Grade rating, just like them.
Fan Shuang'er was well aware of what S Grade rating meant, which was why she was in such a hurry.
"Isn't that unnecessary?"
" Joker, what if the other party is Chosen One from another country?"
"I can tell you definitively that once you reach an S rating, the Chosen One will experience a dramatic Changes that will directly impact the entire world order."
" S Grade rating can only appear in Ancient Country!" Fan Shuang'er said seriously.
"Then find the target. If it's Chosen One from another country, eliminate them!"
Ling Yi's attitude relieved Fan Shuang'er.
"I'll go find him right away. As long as he's in Bree City, I can find him in half a day at most."
"No need for all that trouble. Just send a drone out to find a zombie, tell it our objective, and let the zombie find it for us."
Zombies have such an amazing Sense of Smell; locating the fifth person would be a piece of cake for them.
"Huh? Zombies would agree?"
"Disagree? They'll agree."
If zombies haven't evolved Wisdom, this method might not be very effective.
Zombies that have evolved Wisdom must also understand... fear.
