Chapter 14

: Basic Genetic Agent! Encounter with the Alien Species "White Thorn"!

Outside the arsenal.

A dilapidated Wuling Hongguang van was parked behind a hidden dirt slope.

Wang Gou slumped over the steering wheel, clutching the walkie-talkie that had lost all signal, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

"Why is there still no movement?"

"We can't get in touch with Guo Yong either..."

"Guo Yong and his men have been inside for almost an hour... The gunshots and screams from earlier have been gone for a long time."

"Could something have happened?"

Wang Gou swallowed hard, his heart pounding with anxiety.

He had originally planned to sneak in and get a piece of the action after Guo Yong dealt with that ungrateful wretch. After all, he was the one who provided the coordinates, and Guo Yong had promised him 10 units of universal fuel.

If Guo Yong doesn't give it to him, he'll expose the Hungry Wolf Guild's scam in the group chat.

They promised to give me the coordinates but won't give me the reward!

But the deathly silence now filled him with a nameless fear.

"How about... we go in and take a look?"

Just as he was hesitating.

Rumbling--

A deep, powerful engine roar came from the broken gate of the arsenal.

Wang Gou hurriedly picked up the binoculars.

The next second, the binoculars in his hand fell to the ground with a "thud".

All that could be seen was the afterglow of the setting sun.

A massive, more menacing black steel behemoth slowly drove out.

It was longer and taller than before, covered in reactive armor that resembled dragon scales. Most terrifying of all was the slowly rotating turret on the roof, its massive cannon barrel gleaming with a chilling light in the sunlight.

And behind this car...

Guo Yong's pickup truck is not available.

There is no motorcycle team from the Wolf Guild.

There was nothing there.

"It's over..."

Wang Gou's legs went weak instantly.

Anyone who isn't an idiot can guess what happened.

Guo Yong and his men... were completely wiped out!

"Run! We have to run!"

Wang Gou started the smoke-belching bread truck with trembling hands, trying to turn around and escape.

But at that moment...

The turret of the black behemoth that was moving suddenly turned.

There were no unnecessary movements.

That dark, gaping cannon muzzle, like the eye of death, precisely locked onto his beat-up car from hundreds of meters away.

inside the car.

Lin Hui sat in the technologically advanced driver's seat, where a red crosshair was projected onto the Wuling Hongguang on the holographic screen in front of him.

[Fire control radar locks onto target: Wuling Hongguang (light vehicle)]

[Distance: 1450 meters]

Accuracy: 100%

"Ah, it really is you."

"To be honest, how did I end up being targeted by those Wolf Guild members!"

Lin Hui stared at the small bread truck trying to escape on the screen, his eyes as cold as ice.

"Perfect, I'll use you to test the power of the new turret."

His finger gently rested on the red launch button.

"Bullshot!"

"Aim at the fuel tank!"

Without hesitation, without pity.

Press.

Boom!

A dull, loud bang.

The car body only vibrated slightly.

A 25mm armor-piercing round, accompanied by a piercing whistle, instantly sliced ​​through the air.

More than a kilometer away.

Wang Gou was frantically pressing the accelerator, muttering, "Don't kill me, don't kill me."

next second.

boom--!!!

A huge fireball exploded in his field of vision.

That was the last sight he saw in this world.

The entire Wuling Hongguang was blown to pieces, with burning debris flying everywhere, like a flower of death blooming on a wasteland.

[Sanity +3.]

Lin Hui looked at the burning fireball on the screen, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Comfortable!

My sanity has just recovered after seeing a pile of mangled zombies.

"One shot, one kill."

"This power, this precision, it's definitely worth all those materials."

He didn't stop, or even slow down, driving the RV directly over the still-burning wreckage and heading towards the distance of the highway.

The car was kept at a constant temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, with soothing jazz music playing.

Lin Hui opened a can of ice-cold cola, enjoying the comfort brought by the automatic driving system while opening the system panel [Regional Channel].

At this time, the world channel was still filled with lamentations.

"Help! I'm out of water! Can anyone give me some?"

"My car tires were punctured by a white mutant beast! I'm stranded on the road, and the creature is getting closer! Someone please help me!"

"Forget about parking upstairs, who dares to park now?"

"I saw it too! There was a mutant with a very long tail just now, it looked a lot like the Long White Nail from 'Tomorrow's War'! Thank goodness I ran fast!!"

"Is there a doctor? I have a fever, it seems to be from an infection from a scratch. I don't have any medicine, are there any home remedies to bring down the fever...?"

Looking at this information, Lin Hui shook his head.

This is the norm in the apocalypse.

Hunger, cold, disease, monsters...

While most people were still struggling to survive, he was already sitting in the armored fortress, thinking about how to spend the mountain of supplies.

Suddenly, several top-pinned bounty posts caught his attention.

[The Overlord Alliance is offering a bounty: We'll buy any "gene serum" at a high price! If you can provide it, I'll make you the vice leader of the alliance!]

[Rose Society is offering a bounty: Recruiting players who have awakened a "Specialization"! If you have awakened a "Specialization" ability, whether it's strength or reconnaissance! As long as you are female! Welcome to join us, food will be plentiful!]

[Mysterious Buyer: Buying 30 units of "Primary Genetic Potion" with Universal Fuel! DM me if interested!]

"Gene-editing agents?"

Lin Hui raised an eyebrow.

It seems that the top players have already come into contact with the "extraordinary" side of this world.

Relying solely on vehicles is not enough.

Human vulnerability remains the biggest weakness.

This is why those big shots are frantically buying gene serums.

"I have a bottle right now."

Lin Hui took out the bottle of [Basic Gene Potion] that had been dropped from the Level 2 zombie from his pocket.

The deep blue liquid flowed slowly in the glass tube, emitting a captivating luster.

【Name: Primary Gene Agent】

[Type: Extraordinary Item]

[Quality: Rare]

[Effect: Comprehensively enhances physical fitness, increases physique, Physique +10]

Side effects: Severe pain may occur during the injection process.

"pain?"

Lin Hui smiled.

Compared to the pain of being devoured by zombies, what is this pain?

Without any hesitation, he inserted the needle directly into the vein in his arm.

Recommended bet.

A surge of icy liquid instantly rushed into my veins, and then that icy feeling turned into a scorching heat like magma!

"hiss--"

Lin Hui gritted his teeth, and veins bulged on his forehead.

pain!

The pain that goes deep into the bone marrow!

It felt as if every cell in my body was being torn apart and reassembled.

This excruciating pain lasted for a full five minutes.

When the pain recedes like the tide, it is replaced by an unprecedented sense of ease and strength.

Lin Hui suddenly opened his eyes.

His body, which was originally a bit thin, has not yet transformed into an exaggeratedly muscular physique, but the lines of every muscle have become smooth and firm, full of explosive power.

[Physical Strength: 15 (5→15)]

[Combat capability assessment: Physical fitness equivalent to a well-trained soldier.]

"This feeling..."

Lin Hui took a deep breath and murmured.

"I feel like I could take on five adults single-handedly!"

"While I probably won't be able to take on a zombie one-on-one yet, injecting a few more vials of gene serum will definitely make it possible!!"

Thinking of this, Lin Hui also sought to purchase gene potions in the regional chat channel. The price he offered was 40 units of universal fuel or medicine in exchange, which was 10 units of universal fuel higher than the price offered by the mysterious player!

Just then.

The vehicle's radar suddenly emitted a series of urgent alarm sounds.

It's neither a zombie nor a player.

Instead, it was a massive, dark red signal source!

Lin Hui immediately looked ahead.

Through the telescope, he saw a stunning sight on the horizon.

On the wasteland a few kilometers away.

A camouflaged main battle tank, a genuine military heavy vehicle, was parked on the side of the road, its turret belching black smoke.

And around the tank.

Two white, spear-like spikes were deeply embedded in the tank's armor, some even piercing through the tracks!

At the source of those bone spurs.

A slender, alien-like creature covered in white bony plates was crouching on a boulder, coldly watching the tank.

[WARNING! Encounter with alien creatures!]

【Name: White Thorn (Tier 3)】

[Ding! Monsters of Tier 3 and above do not provide monster attribute or skill information. Players must discover these on their own!]

"No monster attribute information provided?"

Lin Hui's pupils contracted slightly.

He glanced at the thick armor of his Lv.3 motorhome, its defense rating of 200, and then at the 25mm autocannon that had just been installed on the roof.

I made a decision in my heart.

Take a look at this white thorn and try to kill it!

Tier 3 monsters must drop really good rewards!!

Lin Hui suddenly turned the steering wheel.

The black armed fortress veered off the main road and slowly drove towards the [White Thorn] mutant.

Finally, it stopped at a position where the machine gun could hit it.
