Chapter 76: Chapter 72 Stakeout
Hum~
Heading into the city, an orange-yellow car light cut through the darkness. Lin Xian sat in the passenger seat, continuously observing the automatic rifle in his hands.
He had already scanned the blueprints of the acquired objects. For him, making an automatic rifle was even less difficult than making a crane. The only problem was the bullets.
His fear of insufficient firepower acted up again.
If he could solve the issues with gunpowder and explosive materials, he could mass-produce bullets and shells, even create vehicle-mounted turrets and machine-gun posts, allowing him to strike monsters while on the move, so there was no need to engage in hand-to-hand combat on the roof of the car.
Building looked at Lin Xian with a strange expression, whispering,
"Brother Xian, I can chop down any monster."
Lin Xian looked at him with surprise, smiling, "Monsters that can be chopped are fine, if we can’t beat them, we can run. I’m more worried about ghosts."
"Ghosts?" Building pointed at the machine gun and Steel-cutting Greatsword in the back seat, "Can’t they be chopped?"
"Don’t know, but so people have seen them, supposedly they have supernatural abilities and can’t be killed..."
Building: "..."
Lin Xian’s expression darkened slightly, looking ahead at the cityscape shrouded in darkness, "There’s truth and falsehood in the news, in this dark night there are all kinds of strange things, it’s better to believe they exist than not, extra caution can never be wrong."
Building nodded, not saying a word.
Soon, the SUV drove into the city’s main road, arriving at a street near the pedestrian area.
The engine sound and headlights attracted many frenzied zombies. To prevent the horde from surrounding the SUV, the two imdiately got out of the vehicle.
"Go upstairs first, wait for my instructions later." Lin Xian threw a walkie-talkie to Building, and then the two split up, with Building carrying the machine gun running towards the second-floor observation deck of the mall.
Lin Xian, on the other hand, ran swiftly toward the square through a back alley.
In the dark night, Lin Xian’s eyes beca profoundly deep, seeming to clearly perceive the lurking zombies ahead, his left hand holding the Wind Gun, his right hand wielding the electric knife, darting through the darkness like a shadow.
Uh ah~
A few zombies hadn’t even turned around before a cold light flashed, and heads fell to the ground.
Woof~ Woof~
Zombie Dogs barked fiercely in the alley, chasing after Lin Xian, who turned and shot several Wind Gun blasts swiftly, blasting several dog heads open, then imdiately took out a small remote controller and pressed it.
"Happy Birthday to you... Happy Birthday to you..."
A loud and eerie tune suddenly rang out in the center of the dark square, resounding through several blocks imdiately, breaking the tranquil silence of Yuchi City.
Clang, followed by several large lights turning on, illuminating the circular square.
Unable to find any suitable material, the chanical-sounding music from the speakers unnerved people quite a bit.
He dashed out of the alley, quickly climbing up a hidden platform, sneaking into the shadows, observing the activities on the square from half a block away with Building.
"Happy Birthday to you... Happy Birthday to you..."
Click~
"Building, any movent?" Lin Xian took out the walkie-talkie to test.
"None." Building’s voice ca through the walkie-talkie.
He decided in his heart, looking at the ti, 14:45, one and a half hours until dawn. If there was no gain, they would imdiately set off after dawn.
Lin Xian sheathed the electric knife, taking out the automatic rifle to stay on guard secretly.
As ti passed by the second, the loud music soon attracted countless zombies from several streets, swarming densely to the square. These zombies, extrely sensitive to sound, rushed to the square but found no target, surrounding the loudspeaker, their rotting eyes starting to search for prey everywhere.
14:50...
More zombies surged in.
15:05, the entire circular square was already packed with all kinds of zombies, Zombie Dogs, Ghouls controlled by Black Insects, and if there were any hidden survivors in the city, they would definitely be frightened by this massive commotion.
"Building."
"None, Brother Xian, those Black Insects monster, don’t know if killing them would..."
"Shouldn’t be one." Lin Xian whispered.
Those Black Insects, although being a type of supernatural creature, had been dealt by him in North Bay before without finding any red orbs or even encountering any black aura. It can be assud they are not the targets they were looking for.
"Let’s wait a bit longer."
15:15...
The music in the square continued.
Lin Xian, hidden in the shadows, intently watched the movents in the square when suddenly the sound from the speakers changed, possibly due to the battery dying or so other reason.
"Happy Birth...day... Happy... Birth...day..."
The little girl’s voice began to slow down, sounding deep and eerie, as if dragging the tune, sending chills down the spine.
"Building, be careful, I feel sothing is wrong."
Lin Xian felt sothing off and imdiately warned the Building.
But after waiting a while, the walkie-talkie remained silent.
Lin Xian frowned and pressed the talk button again.
"Building..."
It was then he noticed, the signal light on the walkie-talkie was emitting a faint red light, unable to connect.
What’s wrong? It was just fine a mont ago, has sothing happened over at the Building?
Lin Xian imdiately realized the gravity of the situation and his whole body shuddered.
He decided to abandon his stake-out and rushed towards the direction of the Building.
But just as he stood up from the shadows, he suddenly felt as if he was being observed by sothing and imdiately looked up.
Nothing.
Click~
Lin Xian, still uneasy, turned on the flashlight he carried and shone it into the alley above but found absolutely nothing.
Was it an illusion?
Lin Xian’s eyes flickered, a sensation of his heart racing surged inside him, his forehead starting to sweat. It felt similar to the creepy feeling he had in Jiang City at the furniture store when he was watched by the White Giant Monster.
Moved by his instincts, he hesitated no further and turned around firing up into the air, followed by several Wind Guns simultaneously!
Dada da! Bang bang!
Gunfire flickered, illuminating the dark alley, and suddenly, Lin Xian saw three extrely terrifying faces.
They were monsters with skull-like faces clinging to the wall above, visible only after he started firing despite the flashlight revealing nothing just monts ago.
The monster seed like three lted Zombies fused together with spider-like legs, carrying a sinister, eerie smile, having watched Lin Xian for who knows how long.
The creature seed unexpectedly taken aback by Lin Xian’s sudden awareness and firing; bullets punctured it imdiately, blowing out several bloody holes, and black blood spurt gushing out, hitting the ground with a sizzling corroding sound.
"Can it be hit?!"
When the flashlight didn’t reveal it, Lin Xian thought this thing didn’t have a physical body, but as soon as the gunfire erupted, the bullets pierced through its skin.
"Ah!!!!!!"
The three-headed monster simultaneously roared, deafeningly. Enraged, one of the heads abruptly opened its mouth towards Lin Xian, revealing a wide maw filled with terrifying fangs, spraying a stream of black blood straight at Lin Xian.
"Damn!"
Sensing a strong danger from the black blood, Lin Xian couldn’t react in ti and imdiately executed a move: Backflash!
However, instead of toward the three-headed monster, he swiftly maneuvered to the side,
Hiss!
The black blood splashed onto the platform where Lin Xian had just been standing, instantly releasing a scorching corroding sll with billowing white fus and a rank odor.
