Chapter 62: Silent City! Game Rules!【In this abandoned, giant ruined city, countless zombies are hidden.】

【Originally, this city was still under construction. The city center had fewer than 300,000 residents, but with the upper-level construction plans, it became a trending city. Everyone wanted a piece of the pie, and overnight, millions of people flooded in!】

【Then, the catastrophe began…】

【Note: The highest-level zombie currently discovered is a Tier 5 zombie, but the possibility of encountering Tier 6 zombies cannot be ruled out!】

【Mission—Ruined City, five-hour countdown begins.】

With the system’s final announcement, the mission officially started.

Lin Feng’s Zombie Tide Gate opened, revealing no zombies outside.

【Ding! You have received a Human Resource Card: 20 Laborers (Temporary), which can be summoned at any time.】

The system’s voice echoed, and Lin Feng saw a card appear in his hand, depicting a group of frightened laborers.

Lin Feng chose not to use the card immediately, deciding to wait and assess the situation first.

“Advance,” Lin Feng ordered, and all the soldiers stepped out through the gates of the zombie tide.

Unexpectedly, they found themselves in a large, once-prosperous city, albeit somewhat distorted.

Lin Feng could see an unfinished street on the roadside, with a sales office standing amidst the ruins.

The sales office was one of the best facilities in the area, while behind it was merely a construction site. They started selling apartments even before laying the foundation for the buildings.

Lin Feng’s expression showed a hint of confusion, but that wasn’t his main concern. He was here to gather resources.

“Advance slowly. Steel Flamethrower soldiers, spread out and be ready for any potential zombie ambushes,” Lin Feng commanded, his voice steady.

The entire street was deserted, which was unexpected for Lin Feng. He had anticipated that there would be many zombies in the area.

Lin Feng sent his initial location to Zhang Han. Whether Zhang Han could find him would depend on his own efforts.

【Zhang Han】: “It’s a bit far… but I’ll find a way to get there!”

Zhang Han’s expression was resolute. If he wanted to latch onto a strong ally, he needed to do it well.

Lin Feng didn’t respond to him, as he was busy surveying the surroundings.

“Wang Sheng, lead the headhunter snipers to take up positions at higher ground. Take two marines with you for protection,” Lin Feng ordered, then designated two marines to accompany them.

Headhunter sniper squad leader Wang Sheng nodded and headed towards a construction site’s tower crane. With the communication devices they had, there would be no issues with maintaining contact.

Not finding a single zombie around was absolutely impossible.

“Everyone, hold your positions and be ready for combat at any moment!” Lin Feng commanded.

“Yes, sir!” all the soldiers responded in unison.

The weather was quite pleasant, with a gentle spring breeze, but the city before them felt like an unfinished project, desolate and empty.

Lin Feng didn’t rush to summon the laborers; instead, he waited.

Suddenly, Wang Sheng’s voice came through the communication device.

“Reporting, Lord. At your one o’clock direction, across three buildings, approximately three kilometers away, there’s a survivor! It’s a female survivor with five militia members and one regular soldier. She has already summoned her twenty laborers and is preparing to gather resources.”

Lin Feng hadn’t expected to encounter another survivor so quickly.

“She’s already started gathering resources!”

With his sniper rifle, Wang Sheng could naturally see the scene clearly.

The sound of “clang, clang, clang…” suddenly echoed, so clear and melodious that Lin Feng could hear it distinctly.

This wasn’t an open area; it was within the city, and the sound traveled several kilometers! It was as clear as thunder.

“Reporting, Lord! A large number of zombies are pouring out from the residential buildings, heading straight for the survivor’s team. The number exceeds five hundred and more are continuously emerging!”

“Reporting, Lord! The female survivor has started to fight back, but we can’t hear any gunfire. The sound transmission is being dampened; we can’t hear the gunshots!”

Wang Sheng’s voice continued to relay the situation through the walkie-talkie.

This was a very strange phenomenon—the sound of the laborers’ work was louder than the gunfire!

Or rather, in this city, it seemed that other sounds had been dampened, while the noise from the laborers’ work was amplified!

“The laborers didn’t stop working even after the zombies were discovered. It was only after the female survivor ordered them to stop that the zombies stopped emerging. However, the zombies that had already come out didn’t retreat; they continued to attack the female survivor.”

“Reporting, Lord. The female survivor has been eliminated!” Wang Sheng’s voice was devoid of any emotion, cold and detached. The death of the female survivor didn’t stir any feelings within him.

Lin Feng’s expression took on a peculiar quality.

A slight smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

“This game rule is quite interesting.”
