"when---"
"Squeak squeak squeak—"
With a crisp metallic sound, the lurker actually managed to grab Shi Yin's dagger. Sparks flew as his fingernails scraped against the blade, as grating and unpleasant as a cat scratching a blackboard.
The failure of the attack caused Shi Yin to pause for a moment, but the infiltrator took advantage of this opening to see Shi Yin's strength. At this moment, Shi Yin had only brought in one layer of power, and her aura was also extremely low.
"Roar—" The Lurker roared. The training pod simulated the Lurker's intelligence. As a zombie with rudimentary intelligence, just like the operator, the Lurker also possessed some simple emotions.
It sensed that the little insect was courting death, and without hesitation raised its hands, its sharp fingernails covered with mottled bluish-gray.
It didn't think Shion was a strong opponent it couldn't handle. If the opponent was really strong, that attack from such a tricky angle should have killed it outright.
Shi Yin's movements suddenly quickened. The lurker's fingernail grazed Shi Yin's nose and passed by her. This time, Shi Yin did not miss. She plunged the dagger in her right hand straight into the lurker's right eye, twisted it, and pulled it out. She then retreated a few steps and jumped to a distance.
"Zombies can also misjudge the strength of humans. Although they don't understand what judgment is, they are naturally sensitive to the aura of the strong and will also despise the weak and underestimate their opponents."
Not far away, the onlookers were dumbfounded. They usually had a hard time dealing with a lurker, whose concealment of body shape and light made him impossible for most people to identify with the naked eye.
By the time everyone sees the infiltrator, the infiltrator is already in front of them. Most people will lose their composure and become flustered. Their record for subduing an infiltrator is one and a half minutes.
However, subtracting the half-minute of waiting time, the total time that Shiyin spent dealing with the infiltrators was less than ten seconds.
Is it really that simple?
Moreover, it seems that Shion didn't use any special abilities just now, it was purely skill?
"This is very simple, just practice a few times and you'll get the hang of it." Shi Yin wiped the blood off the dagger and continued walking forward.
It's very simple, just practice a few more times...
Listen to this, is this even human language?
"You guys come and practice," Shi Yin said, not intending to deal with them all the way through.
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are scattered in different areas, and you won't encounter them as soon as you enter; you'll need to search for them for a while.
Along the way, they encountered some ordinary zombies and berserkers, which they dealt with very smoothly. Gradually, they started to prepare strategies and divide tasks in advance, moving away from the initial rushing into a team.
Shi Yin would occasionally offer her comments from the side.
However, when encountering lurkers, everyone still instinctively panics, but it's much better than at the beginning. The time it takes for several people to deal with a lurker together has been reduced to less than a minute, and the fastest is half a minute, showing rapid progress.
Then they encountered two more small waves of zombies, both controlled by a single operator. In a typical zombie horde, 70% are ordinary zombies and the remaining 30% are berserkers. They charge like a human army, which is quite troublesome.
In the first wave, the group charged straight at the zombies, scattering them before killing them, which Shi Yin found distasteful.
In the second wave, Shi Yin conjured a sniper rifle and blew the manipulator's head off with a single shot. The zombie horde fell into a brief silence. After regaining their senses, although their charge was still fierce, it appeared much more disorderly, even leading to the berserkers' assessment that they had severely injured ordinary zombies.
"Sister Yin, you're amazing." During the break, Lin Beiyue sat next to Shi Yin, feeling a little helpless.
“You could have found these weaknesses even if you had taken your time. It’s just that I’ve pushed you too fast.” Shi Yin leaned casually against the tree. “In the face of absolute power, any technique is useless. This is a truth that can easily lead you into a misconception.”
"I have given you the power to defeat them ahead of time, and your power will soon surpass the role of technique."
"Actually, in the normal order, you were very weak at the beginning. You would explore the traps, cooperate, and find weaknesses to try to defeat the zombies. Since I misled you because of some action, I naturally have to correct you."
Along the way, some people were so exhausted they couldn't breathe.
The simulation in the training pod was so realistic that some people were already covered in sweat, but Shi Yin was as if she had just taken a walk. She didn't even break a sweat or pant for long.
"I feel okay about these zombies, but the most troublesome ones are the mirror images." Ye Shaoheng scratched his head, still shaken: "Last time I encountered a mirror image of Sister Yin, who took a knife and slashed at the back of my head, which made my head spin."
"I feel the same way. Last time during the Giant Gate Disaster, Yan Qi's flames terrified me to death." Lin Beiyue also felt deeply: "Fortunately, we can now increase our ability usage to level 5, so we are no longer afraid of seeing mirror images."
Since the great cataclysm of Jumen and Wenqu, a notice has been issued that we no longer need to be limited to level 3 and can increase the usage level of our special abilities to level 5.
This relieved many people. Using 30% of one's strength is really frustrating, it feels like you can't exert your full power. Using 50% of one's strength is the normal performance for everyone, and of course, it's easy to use.
The sudden appearance of the mirror zombie startled many people, making them hesitant to use their abilities, even though they had already unlocked their powers to level 5. Some people were still afraid to use them, fearing that their abilities would be copied and used against them.
“We’re not afraid of encountering them outside, but the mirrorers here will still mirror half of us, right?” Ye Shaoheng blinked. “Besides, we used eighty or ninety percent of them last time.”
Everyone: "..."
That's right.
"Moreover, I feel that Qin Jin's ability is the most troublesome, it's area-of-effect lightning." Ye Shaoheng said with distress, "Flames can be resisted with combat suits and armor, but our bodies and the surrounding area are all conductive."
“Yes…” Lin Beiyue wholeheartedly agreed.
Shi Yin's mirror image zombies are only difficult to deal with in terms of movement. In reality, their attack power is just the katana in their hands. They have many ways to defend against the blade, but being hit by lightning is a truly unpleasant experience.
"Boom!"
A clap of thunder was heard, and a thin, silvery-purple lightning bolt suddenly appeared in the sky, startling everyone.
All eyes turned to Ye Shaoheng, who was completely bewildered.
All eyes turned to a blurry, ever-changing zombie on the open ground. Its shape was exactly like Qin Jin's, and its strength was considerable, clearly more than 30% of his original strength.
For so many days, everyone has been training, indoors, which means that the mirror zombie has theoretically copied everyone.
As luck would have it, it just so happens to be a Qin-Jin relationship.
"Could it be that they just copied our results from last time?" Ye Shaoheng exclaimed in shock. "Last time, Brother Qin used 80% of his strength."
As soon as the electric arc flew over, everyone scattered and fled. The bluish-purple electric arc blasted a large crater in the ground and knocked down two trees in half.
With so many zombies here, generally speaking, everyone uses less than 30% or about 50% of their strength. Logically speaking, the most zombies would be those that replicate these two levels of strength.
Unfortunately, it really was only 80% of its strength, from yesterday's save file.
Shi Yin: "..."
I'm so lucky.
Ye Shaoheng stared in disbelief: "No way? Could it be..."
Everyone: "Shut up!"
Ye Shaoheng: "..."
I'm so sorry, so sorry, so sorry!
