Chapter 19 - Chapter 18: Far Ahead of the Pack

Tang Peng and Zhou Meina squeezed together at the window slit, looking down at Lv Bai about to be bitten by zombies, both sneering incessantly.

As the zombies got closer to Lv Bai, they seemed to be able to imagine the scene of Lv Bai dying in the mouth of a zombie. This gave them a sense of revenge-like satisfaction.

However, Lv Bai remained calm, as if he hadn't seen the zombies gathering on both sides of the road.

His head slightly raised, his eyes calmly gazed at the couple on the fifth floor, and the gentle smile on his face didn't change a bit.

The fastest zombie had already charged to Lv Bai's side, and the rotten flesh clinging to its snarling mouth emitted a stench that blew in their face.

But Lv Bai didn't even glance in the direction of the zombie, merely swung his sword casually.

The Eight-sided Han Sword, with its reliable sharpness, sliced the zombie in half as easily as cutting through vegetables.

In Tang Peng and Zhou Meina's view, they just vaguely saw a flash of the sword light in Lv Bai's hand, and the terrifying zombie shattered on the spot.

"How is he so powerful?!"

Seeing this scene, Tang Peng was suddenly a bit startled.

Zhou Meina was equally shocked by Lv Bai's performance.

She grit her teeth and said, "So what if he's that strong? I don't believe this kid can kill all of the zombies outside."

Hmm, she's right.

Regardless of whether Lv Bai has the ability, at the moment, he didn't have the intention to kill all those zombies.

After dealing with the fastest-moving zombie, Lv Bai jumped towards an air conditioner unit on the hotel's second floor.

With the enhancement from [Blood Burst], he felt he could jump three or four meters high in one leap.

Bang!

Lv Bai landed on the second-floor air conditioner in a one-knee kneeling position.

A screw that fixed the air conditioner onto the wall popped off, and Lv Bai stabilized himself by pressing his left hand on top of the air conditioner.

Without wasting any more time, he once again propelled himself and jumped toward the third floor.

To ordinary people, the fifth floor is already a height that could be fatal if you fall.

But for Lv Bai, who had activated [Blood Burst], it was just a matter of a few jumps.

"No way, is he human?!"

Tang Peng had a bad feeling when he noticed Lv Bai jumped onto the second floor in two or three moves.

Unfortunately, before he could react and do something to stop him, Lv Bai had already broken through the window.

Landing inside the room, Lv Bai didn't even need to roll to cushion the impact; he simply stood up.

He looked at the couple in front of the window, and the friendly smile on his face, under these circumstances, instead had a strange deterrent effect.

Tang Peng was as if petrified, stiffly staring at Lv Bai, filled with disbelief.

They had known Lv Bai was quite capable, able to kick through tempered glass with one kick.

But this act of jumping to the fifth floor in a few moves, even with various assists, would hardly be considered normal for a human, right?

Lv Bai lifted the Eight-sided Han Sword in his hand, still dripping blood, and just this small movement scared Zhou Meina into crying hysterically, trying her best to hide behind Tang Peng.

Tang Peng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then smoothly kneeled down.

"Bro... No, brother, big brother, we were wrong... Please, don't kill us!"

Thump, thump, thump~

Tang Peng, terrified, kept knocking his forehead against the wooden floor, making a thumping sound.

Regret filled their hearts the most right now. They never thought they would provoke such a monster.

Lv Bai scanned the situation in the room, combined with the couple's reaction from last night, and roughly understood what was going on.

Under nearly two days without food or drink, any action was not surprising.

It must be said, human nature is a very complex thing.

Compared to premeditated murder, crimes of passion generally receive a lighter sentence, and people can understand these verdicts to some degree.

From this point, it goes to show that humans understand most people cannot fully control their emotions and actions.

Lv Bai sighed, reached into his pocket, pulled out a piece of high-end chocolate, and handed it over: "Eat."

Originally, noticing Lv Bai's movements, Tang Peng shivered with fear. After seeing it was just a piece of chocolate, his emotions became incredibly complicated.

Whether it was gratitude for Lv Bai's virtue of repaying grievances with kindness, or the relief of surviving an ordeal, Tang Peng's eyes gradually reddened.

"Tha... Thank you, it's all our fault, thank you so much."

With trembling hands, Zhou Meina took the chocolate, noticing that Lv Bai didn't intend to stop her, she quickly tore off the wrapper and stuffed it into her mouth.

Seeing this, Lv Bai raised an eyebrow: "You're really eating it?"

Tang Peng: "Huh?"

As they spoke, Lv Bai decisively took down the pair of Eagle pistols hanging from his waist.

The Eagle pistols cooperated by not jamming.

Bam! Bam!

One person, one shot.

Though Lv Bai had never handled a real gun before, at such close range, missing was hardly an option.

"Understanding is one thing, but if I were an ordinary person, you'd have got me killed."

It's a simple principle; adults need to be responsible for their actions.

Looking at the two freshly made corpses in front of him, Lv Bai holstered the Mauser pistol, and with a flip, leapt out the window again to continue his hunt.

...

"Smithereens, Marseille."

Lv Bai gave a standard ninety-degree bow towards a corpse that died with eyes open in anger.

[Ding!]

[Points +1, Current Points: 9, Current Rank: 1/173]

After leaving the department store, he continued to search for other Death Fighters according to the positioning information published by the system.

It must be said, after obtaining [Blood Burst], facing other Death Fighters, he felt almost unstoppable in direct battles.

By the way, based on his near miss at the department store, to be cautious, Lv Bai would activate [Blood Burst] without hesitation when encountering Death Fighters.

Thus, the few lone Death Fighters he found in succession were as weak as babies in front of him, unable to put up any resistance.

Lv Bai sheathed the Eight-sided Han Sword, thoughtfully rubbing his chin.

This death match business.

Whether it's the real-time ranking display or the periodically published location information, it's apparent this so-called death match encourages Death Fighters to kill each other.

In other words, this ranking is likely linked to rewards after the end, otherwise, the Death Fighters' killing would be meaningless.

"I'm probably far ahead in points, but why is my Ability Pool more advanced than other Death Fighters'?"

If it was just a guess initially, he was almost certain of it now.

Of course, for Lv Bai, this seemed like a good thing, but it was precisely this unwarranted good fortune that made it hard for him to ignore.
