Fortunately, Su Lin was strong enough that he could fight without any hindrance, even while holding a child.

Anna and Song Daqiang have also begun to adapt to the brutal battles in the escape game. They are no longer afraid of the zombies they encounter at night and can assist Su Lin in the battle with their melee weapons and silenced pistols.

Racing against time, the three did not linger for long and successfully arrived at their planned escape location just as dawn was breaking.

"That's it."

Su Lin looked up ahead. Under the rising sun, colorful clouds, visible only to survivors and their followers, drifted above an open space at the crossroads.

As soon as the group got closer, a notification appeared before their eyes.

[Approaching the escape point. Please remain within the colored fog for 30 seconds to confirm a successful escape.]

"Stay for 30 seconds?"

Xiao Linlin raised her head, looking somewhat wearily around the street: "Big brother, do you want me to show you the ambush location?"

"I understand these things, you should get some sleep."

Su Lin gently comforted her, saying that the girl hadn't slept all night, worried sick.

She was clearly more afraid of fighting and traveling at night, but she proposed the ambush plan for Su Lin's benefit, which made Su Lin feel a little sorry for her.

They are my followers, so of course I should cherish them.

"Mmm... Big brother is the best."

Xiao Linlin obediently shrank back into his arms. She trusted Su Lin; as a soldier, he was better at noticing details on the battlefield.

Although the area is quite open, there are plenty of suitable ambush spots nearby. With the added benefit of a 30-second hard crowd control effect, Su Lin is confident he can kill any fleeing teams.

"Song Daqiang, go check here, here, and here! After you're done checking, hide and lie in ambush in this shop and wait for the battle signal."

"Annana, go check this area, search it thoroughly, and make sure there are no ambushes. After that, go to the second-floor corridor and observe the distance. Remember not to expose too much of your body; just observe through the gaps."

Su Lin quickly issued combat orders, using language that ordinary people could understand, rather than gestures and professional battlefield terminology.

"I...okay, I'll try my best."

Song Daqiang hesitated before agreeing. He really didn't want to participate in the battle, but he didn't dare disobey Su Lin's orders.

Su Lin didn't care what the two thought. The ambush positions he arranged were as safe as possible, serving at most as early warning and combat support.

In a real ambush battle, Su Lin doesn't intend to rely on others. Without suitable and powerful teammates, Su Lin has more faith in himself.

The process of checking and setting up the ambush is unnecessary to recount. The three of them hurried along without searching for supplies, only delaying a little by moving the zombie boxes along the way to a corner. They were arguably the most mobile team on the entire map.

No team could be faster than Su Lin. At seven o'clock in the morning, the three of them took their positions.

What remains is a long wait.

Fortunately, the escape point was right in front of them, so the three of them were not in a hurry. Su Lin stood by a window on the third floor, looking down at the streets in all directions, and still had the energy to check on the situation of his two teammates.

Anna was doing relatively well and managed to keep observing her surroundings, but the fat man had unknowingly fallen asleep inside the counter.

Su Lin's gaze remained calm; he neither reprimanded nor reminded her, but simply continued to observe his surroundings.

The surroundings were silent, with the occasional howl of a zombie coming from afar. The entire city was so desolate that it seemed to have been abandoned by the heavens.

Time flew by, and soon it was 12:30 pm.

Sudden.

A faint sound of fighting came from afar. Su Lin raised an eyebrow and looked at a street.

Soon after, two men came running from a distance, followed by several zombies, but they were quickly turned around and killed.

The two men were middle-aged, each carrying a standard combat weapon equipped with silencers and night vision devices. Their backpacks were large, with at least 20 compartments.

Their steps were heavy, and they were not running fast, but they were still looking after each other.

"Almost there, just hang in there a little longer!"

"It's a pity he didn't make it; last night's battle was too dangerous!"

"There's no time to lament the deaths, we just need to get there and win."

"Be careful of your surroundings, don't forget we were ambushed in the mall yesterday."

"Yes, I know."

Su Lin's physical abilities had been enhanced to the limit, and he could vaguely hear the conversation between the two people and see one of them take out binoculars from his pocket and warily observe the area near the escape point.

They were very vigilant, but unfortunately, Su Lin's ambush position was extremely clever, making observation from below useless.

As the two approached, Anna seemed to sense the movement. She quickly stood up and, using a pre-arranged method of warning, quietly removed a withered leaf from the left side of the vegetation in front of her to indicate the direction of the approaching people.

Su Lin glanced at it indifferently and remained silent.

He didn't look directly at them, but only observed them out of the corner of his eye. After confirming that the two were safe, he ran towards the escape point.

"Quick! It's almost done!"

"We're here!...Damn, we still have to wait 30 seconds!"

"Climb down! Just climb down like this, use your backpack to cover your body!"

"This damn place is too spacious, but there shouldn't be anyone around, right? There are three escape points, our luck should be... pfft!"

Suddenly, a Tang sword fell from above, piercing precisely through the head of one of the survivors.

The blade was gleaming, and it killed a person as easily as slicing a melon!

"scare!"

The other man panicked immediately. His companion's blood and brains were splattered on him, which shocked him so much that his eyes widened. He managed to react, and quickly rolled away to escape the open area.

There's an ambush! We have to run!

But no matter how fast he reacted, he didn't expect that this Tang sword could brake remotely like flying!

Su Lin stood on high ground, simply raising his hand slightly to adjust the direction in which he recalled the Tang sword.

"Whoosh!"

The Tang sword swiftly thrust forward, and on its way back to Su Lin's hand, it precisely severed the neck of the fleeing man.

The head fell amidst a spray of hot blood, the headless body swayed and collapsed, and a colorful box quickly appeared on the corpse.

The two backpacks still lay quietly at the escape point, a reminder that just seconds before, two living survivors had been there.

"So fast!"

Anna looked up at where Sulin was hiding, but she couldn't see the man.

She could only see the Tang sword disappear into the gap between the floors, but she couldn't see Su Lin's body or expression.

Even though I've seen this man make a move many times, I still can't help but think of it.

But each time, she was still horrified and shocked.

A vague feeling lingered in Anna's mind: it seemed that in this suitable place, no matter how many enemies came, he could kill them with ease.

This empty crossroads is like a gaping maw, with unseen sharp teeth scattered about, ready to crush any survivors who set foot here.
