4. The means to survive
With the roles reversed, Lin Fan began the pursuit.
They rushed out of the alley, where there were still many zombies, but the two of them chased and fled without paying any attention.
Such a scene of a perilous apocalypse is extremely rare, yet it has occurred time and time again.
The roles they played were all the same, only the order was changed.
Blood stained Bai Ningbing's back, her white shirt completely red, and her steps grew slower and slower.
As time went by, Bai Ningbing's expression became serious.
"Wasn't it said that the demon was weak in the early stages?"
She gritted her teeth, determined not to give up.
Because if she loses her temper in her current state, things will be in serious trouble.
"roar!!"
There were many zombies around, but they found they couldn't do anything to the two of them.
They had clearly surrounded them; if it were a normal living person, they would have been devoured to the bone long ago.
But the two living people in front of them were different from the living people they had encountered before.
"You can't escape!"
In this special state, Lin Fan's words are devoid of any emotion, containing only the most extreme killing intent.
Bai Ningbing didn't say anything more, because she didn't have time to speak.
As her blood continued to flow, she experienced Lin Fan's problem: her legs felt like they were filled with lead, she became more and more tired the more she ran, and her vision blurred.
"Having been given a second chance at life, with the opportunity to save the world, is it all going to end in such a regrettable way?"
Bai Ningbing wasn't afraid of death, but she was truly afraid that she would let down this hard-won opportunity.
As they drew closer, Lin Fan could already sense the sharpness of the machete in his hand.
However, just when she thought she was about to die, the demon who had been chasing her suddenly stopped.
She turned around in confusion, and there he was, the demon had indeed stopped and was quietly watching her run away.
She was very puzzled by this, but she didn't dare to stop walking.
"Demon, do you think that even if I am allowed to cultivate and grow stronger, I will never be able to do anything to you?"
Bai Ningbing ran a long way before finding the demon still standing in the same spot, and her expression grew even colder.
Lin Fan, the great demon, did not respond to this. He remained quietly standing in place, neither chasing nor making a move.
After exchanging glances, Bai Ningbing chose to leave quickly.
A bizarre yet incredibly fierce battle quietly came to an end at this moment.
Lin Fan watched quietly, as if he were a cunning old schemer who let the other party leave.
But what is the reality?
He now looks like an incompetent husband who has been busy all night and has been completely drained by his wife.
The most intense killing moment.
Once this state is activated, he will possess the most powerful killing experience in the world, becoming a killing machine born to slaughter.
Not to mention opponents of the same level, they can even defeat stronger opponents.
But in this world, everything comes at a price.
Activating this special supernatural power also comes at its own price.
The price to pay is none other than the fact that after activating this supernatural talent, his physical exertion will be greatly increased compared to normal times.
His current physical condition allows him to maintain this for at most three minutes.
To put it bluntly, he's only a real man for three minutes; beyond that, he can't hold on any longer.
If Bai Ningbing had turned around and continued to assault him, he definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand it.
However, it is clear that even Bai Ningbing, who has been reborn, is unaware of this, since his system is a newly replaced one.
Even if she knew him very well in the previous life, it would be of no use in this life.
This time, not only did he encounter unprecedented difficulties when the apocalypse first arrived, but even the system's cheat codes changed.
"Luckily, this crazy woman didn't see through my facade of strength, otherwise it would have been troublesome if she had turned back."
Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief. Once the other person had completely disappeared, his body, which had been trying to remain calm, finally relaxed.
The immense weakness he felt after the peak of his killing power subsided was truly worrying him.
If he hadn't made the right choice at the last moment—that is, if he hadn't forced himself to remain calm and appeared like an arrogant person letting the other person go—he would have really suffered a lot.
However, it is clear that he won the final game.
No matter how crazy the other person was, they were eventually frightened by him.
"Crazy woman, I'll let it go if you stop bothering me now, but if you dare to come back again, this won't be the end of it."
Lin Fan took a deep breath, glanced once more in the direction the other person had left, and then chose to leave as well.
His body still has some aftereffects from the awakening of divine power, so he needs some time to recover.
Finding a roadside convenience store with its doors open, Lin Fan went inside, carrying his sharp machete.
"roar!!"
Inside the convenience store was a voluptuous proprietress wearing a very sexy low-cut dress; even as a zombie, she still looked amazing.
After Lin Fan barged in, she roared and tried to crawl out from under the cashier's counter to devour him.
However, the cashier counter, which was about 1 meter high, blocked her way, and she couldn't climb out no matter how hard she tried.
Although Lin Fan had exited his strongest killing state, he still retained his normal human consciousness, and naturally, he had no reason not to let go of this good opportunity.
As the sexy proprietress climbed the cash register, he swung his machete fiercely at her.
This time, I still went for the vulnerable neck. Zombies are very resilient, but once their heads are cut off, they are as good as dead.
He had already performed this action many times.
The zombie, now restricted, was successfully struck in the vulnerable neck.
However, where it could be easily split in two before, it could not be separated when it fell this time. Instead, it was as if it had been chopped into a wooden chopping board and was stuck firmly.
Not only could they not kill him directly, they couldn't even pull out their cleavers.
The same action, but not the same result; in fact, the two are not comparable at all.
Or,
This is the kind of outcome an ordinary person should achieve.
"roar!!"
The sexy proprietress was still screaming and going berserk, trying to bite off Lin Fan's hand with the cleaver.
Unable to pull out the machete, Lin Fan had no choice but to abandon it for the time being.
Fortunately, the sexy female owner of the convenience store was blocked by the cashier, so even without a handy weapon, she couldn't rush up and cause trouble for a while. Otherwise, Lin Fan might have really been defeated here.
He had previously turned the tide in desperate situations with incredible skill, so it would be truly laughable if he failed here.
"Without the cheat-like abilities, I'm still just an ordinary person now."
Lin Fan let out a soft breath, completely exiting his invincible state.
Without his strongest killing mode, he's back to his old self. The only way for him to become stronger is to gain experience by killing monsters and level up.
As your level increases, your strength will naturally increase as well.
After all, according to the system's introduction, leveling up will result in a comprehensive improvement in one's attributes.
Whether it's strength, defense, or speed, all can be improved simultaneously in this process.
This is a transformation of life.
However, to achieve this powerful transformation, he needs to work hard to kill monsters and gain the experience required to level up.
Having figured things out, Lin Fan stopped thinking about anything else and focused on taking down the sexy female boss in front of him.
A zombie that has been restrained is not difficult to kill.
He deliberately moved forward to lure the other party into lunging at him, then grabbed a dozen bottles of mineral water and smashed them hard against the machete, driving the stuck machete into the ground.
Ding Dong!
Kill a regular zombie, gain 1 experience point.
With her neurons completely severed, the sexy proprietress shuddered, then collapsed, convulsing all over.
After clearing the zombies out of the convenience store, Lin Fan pulled down the roller shutter door at the entrance and then turned the latch to lock it from the inside.
After locking the door to ensure his safety, Lin Fan, who had been holding on, slumped down weakly.
He was inexplicably attacked and then relentlessly pursued by death. Finally, after activating the system and unleashing his strongest killing power to turn the tables, he finally got a chance to catch his breath and sort things out.
First, is this world truly the end of the world? Is it a small-scale phenomenon, or is it happening worldwide?
Second, what is the situation with that crazy woman? Is she really insane and suffering an undeserved misfortune, or does she have a secret that the woman doesn't know about?
Third, is the system cheat I finally activated really able to make me stronger through killing?
There are three things he needs to figure out right now, because they are related to his future survival!
