Killing Zhang Chen would surely grant him even greater power.
He might even ascend to the pinnacle of survivor combat strength!
But Zhang Chen had collected so many zombie corpses, his strength must have significantly increased.
Lin Qingsong, at this moment, only possessed the strength of the human physical limit.
He knew very well that if he advanced another rank, the military combat dagger would likely become obsolete.
As his physique grew stronger, how could it be dealt with by a mere dagger?
Killing those weak survivors now yielded little resources and slowed his leveling speed.
He had to find a way to eliminate stronger individuals!
With this thought, Lin Qingsong hurried downstairs.
He chased after Zhao Longchuan's survivor convoy.
Wait, please take me along!
Lin Qingsong hadn't exerted himself at all running a few hundred meters.
But he feigned exhaustion, panting heavily.
Welcome, all compatriots of Long Country are welcome!
Zhao Longchuan halted the convoy and pulled Lin Qingsong into a vehicle.
Thank you, thank you, you truly are the people's armed forces!
I also wish to participate in combat like you, please give me a chance!
Lin Qingsong said with utmost sincerity.
In reality, he intended to leverage the soldiers' identity and weaponry to kill more survivors and acquire more resources.
Furthermore, with such a beautiful girl like Zhao Xiyue present.
Zhang Chen would definitely follow, it was only a matter of time.
By then, he had to become sufficiently powerful.
Powerful enough to kill Zhang Chen through a surprise attack.
This way... he would become the peak of survivor strength!
Only then could he do as he pleased in the apocalypse!
He was sure Guan Xin would be captivated by him in this state!
Alright, when we reach the next area, I'll assign you a suitable position based on your performance!
We are in dire need of passionate, spirited men like you!
Zhao Longchuan patted Lin Qingsong's shoulder with satisfaction, a gesture of encouragement. Suddenly, he seemed to recall something and continued to ask:
Right, I think I had some impression of you before... were you looking for someone in the chat channel?
That person was named... Guan Xin, right? Is she someone important to you?
Lin Qingsong nodded, his expression melancholic.
That's right, she is the love of my life. In this harsh apocalyptic environment, I truly wish she could be by my side!
Even if we encounter danger in the future, I hope we can die together!
Zhao Longchuan nodded, sighing with emotion.
It's truly not easy to find one's beloved and close ones in the apocalypse!
Later, I'll have you assigned to resource gathering duties, traveling around, perhaps you might encounter her!
Like my sister, I initially thought it was like searching for a needle in a haystack, I had no hope!
Unexpectedly, I still met her in the apocalypse!
So some things depend on fate, family will eventually find each other!
Zhao Longchuan said this and turned to look at Zhao Xiyue.
Zhao Xiyue turned her gaze to the scenery outside the car window, lost in thought.
As if immersed in her longing for Zhang Chen.
Yes, thank you, Captain Zhao!
Lin Qingsong gratefully gripped Zhao Longchuan's arm, finally standing at attention and giving a slightly improper salute.
Zhao Longchuan quickly returned to attention and saluted back properly.
...
Day fourteen of the apocalypse... now...
Jianghe City...
Wolf Fang Camp Combat Team, 13th Squad.
As the military base's survivor population increased daily, resource consumption surged.
Simultaneously, the number of combat personnel also saw significant additions.
Consequently, many combat squads no longer confined themselves to collecting resources locally.
Instead, they ventured into surrounding cities.
Focusing on large supermarkets and malls!
The captain of the 13th Squad was Liu Shuang, and the deputy captain was Lin Qingsong.
Their mission was to secure three large supermarkets, while also eliminating at least 5,000 zombies and 20 Type II mutated zombies.
Additionally, they were to mark Type III mutated zombies for subsequent hunting squads to clear.
Zhao Longchuan firmly believed that after fifteen days, once the suppression lifted, zombies would become even more ferocious.
Therefore, it was best to kill as many as possible now.
To alleviate survival pressure after fifteen days.
At this moment, the 15 members of the 13th Squad had successfully conquered the last large supermarket.
All salvaged resources were temporarily stored in Captain Liu Shuang's spatial ring.
Personal hoarding of resources was forbidden; ultimately, everything was handed over by the captain to the camp's quartermaster.
To be a captain, not only rigorous strength was required, but character was also a crucial assessment standard.
You all worked hard, let's rest a bit, I'll treat everyone to a drink!
Do note, these drinks are my personal stash, not from the spoils of war!
Liu Shuang smiled and tossed a bottle of drink to each person.
Thanks, Captain!
Received, Captain!
Everyone laughed and unscrewed their drinks, gulping them down.
Just then, slow footsteps were suddenly heard from the entrance.
A tall, burly man entered, his black hood pulled low.
On the back of his cloak was a blood-red S13.
This was another member of S13, Jin Donghe.
As soon as he entered, he asked Lin Qingsong.
Tell me, where is Zhang Chen...
Lin Qingsong looked bewildered and shook his head.
What Zhang Chen? I don't know him at all!
Who are you? Why did you barge in so suddenly, what do you want?!
Actually... there were two S13 members searching for Zhang Chen's whereabouts in Jianghe City.
Due to Park Jang-le's death, the entire S13 organization was mobilizing all its resources to search for information on Zhang Chen.
The one who brought the Dobermans earlier was one of them.
The one present now was the other.
You dare to trick me, I will kill you!
Jin Donghe said coldly.
Are you insane? You come here to kill people!
Everyone, combat readiness!
Liu Shuang quickly shouted.
The surrounding team members, those with weaker strength, immediately drew assault rifles.
Those with stronger strength directly pulled out their weapons.
Anyone who blocks our S13's path will die!
Rat-tat-tat-tat!
As soon as Jin Donghe finished speaking, gunshots erupted around him.
Bullets shot towards his body.
Jin Donghe's entire body was instantly covered in red.
[Rage]!
In an instant, Jin Donghe's speed surged, and he appeared like lightning beside the shooting team members.
He easily snapped the necks of two members.
Don't think you're the only one!
Liu Shuang gave Lin Qingsong a knowing glance.
In an instant, both their skin turned red.
Next to them, another team member was adjusting his angle, preparing to attack Jin Donghe with [Concentrated Strike].
Ha, interesting, let me show you something better, [Berserk Slaughter]!
Jin Donghe's veins bulged, and his speed increased once more.
