Apocalypse: Hero of Potato Fields

Chapter 89: A Thousand Zombies Attack


With a gun in hand, the world is mine.

Lin Yi always wanted to get his hands on a system firearm, but had never heard of anyone drawing one.

Unexpectedly, Annie, with her exceptional lucky constitution, successfully helped him obtain one.

However, it would be perfect if there were more handguns.

He envisioned, in case of danger.

First, empty the magazine of the first gun, then quickly transfer the gun back to the Shelter, and immediately use the second one.

Meanwhile, Weapon Smith Seville could reload the first gun in the armory.

Cyclically and repeatedly, he would effectively have a handgun with nearly infinite ammunition.

Thus, Lin Yi instructed the red-haired beauty: "Sylvie, I authorize you to use coins to make bullets for this gun, and also make a few more magazines."

"Okay, boss! I'm about to reach level 5, and I'll be able to earn skill points after leveling up."

"Want to go out to grind monsters and level up quickly?"

"No, boss...." Sylvie gently tucked the stray hair on her forehead behind her ear.

During the past period, she had transformed from a scrawny little frame into a shapely, all-charming beauty.

Usually, during the day, she spent most of her time making arrows and maintaining weapons.

When her magic power was depleted by a third, she chose to exercise or help in the fields until her magic power returned to its normal level.

This was mainly because excessive depletion of magic power would inevitably weaken the body, and the speed of its recovery would decrease.

"You're hurting Little Shadow!" Zoe suddenly shouted.

Lin Yi turned his head toward the sound.

He saw Zoe's little pet cat almost suffocated by Annie's overly enthusiastic hug.

To say it's a cat is inaccurate; it's Zoe's skill as a Professional—pet panther.

But clearly, something was wrong; the little thing hadn't grown, and now it couldn't even break free from a girl's embrace.

The little cat, carefully held back by Zoe, meowed pitifully.

Lin Yi's eyelids twitched slightly; could it protect its owner like this? It's hard pressed to even defend itself.

"Is it called Little Shadow? Did you give it growth-inhibiting hormones? Otherwise, why isn't it growing?"

"No, boss! It just won't eat..."

Eat!? Lin Yi was speechless.

The system-given skills, whether direct or indirect, are all used to fight zombies.

"Maybe your little cat doesn't like regular food; perhaps it wants to eat, you know...zombie meat."

"No! It'll get dirty!" Zoe tightly hugged the little cat, her face full of pain and resistance.

Lin Yi shrugged.

Zoe looked at her little cat, and the cat looked up at her, meowing pitifully, obviously very hungry.

With a heavy heart, Zoe eventually steeled herself, wiped away her tears: "Alright boss, you're right..."

"Then we'll do a little experiment tomorrow." Lin Yi smiled and then lowered his head to start eating.

The group chatted for a bit longer, discussed some construction matters, and then went back to their homes to rest.

After all, there were two big events the next day—building a town and selling food.

However, just as Lin Yi was sound asleep, an emergency message abruptly woke him from his dreams.

[Warning: A space-time fragment is heading towards your Shelter, collision unavoidable!]

[Collision countdown—30 minutes]

Upon reading it, Lin Yi instantly jumped off the bed.

There was no time to think, he rushed out of the house, grabbing the loudspeaker.

"Red alert! Level one readiness!"

"Red alert! Level one readiness!"

"..."

As the alarm resonated throughout the town, people hurriedly rushed out from their houses, filled with panic and excitement.

"Solomon, get Sylvie, arm the warriors. We're about to collide with a space-time fragment, only half an hour!"

"Got it, boss!" Solomon swiftly took the command.

"Everyone else, place all lighting equipment, anything that can shine, around the town perimeter, the floodlights on the watchtower alone are not enough, and also..."

Following Lin Yi's rapid-fire instructions, everyone immediately got busy.

The entire Shelter went into combat readiness.

The next thirty minutes flew by.

Until a slight tremor occurred.

The western fog wall began to dissipate, and then...zombies appeared!

So many zombies!

Hundreds, even thousands of zombies, all crazily crashing into the barrier wall.

Fortunately, the Shelter's defenses had been upgraded the day before, and the sturdy fence temporarily held back this raging tide of zombies.

[Notice: During the collision, the shop cannot be used]

Lin Yi glanced at the prompt, his gaze instantly becoming sharp as an eagle's.

He raised his sword high above and shouted loudly:

"Archers, assist with long-range shooting! Warriors, stab through the wire fence gaps! Guards, disperse to the periphery, cover the soldiers!..."

Saying this, he dived into battle like a leopard.

The black one-handed sword, razor-sharp, swept with powerful grace in Lin Yi's hand.

He sliced along the wire fence gaps, instantly decapitating several zombies, blood splattering everywhere, creating a shocking scene.

The reason he replaced the wooden poles of the first fence with earth pillars and retained the wire mesh, instead of making it an earth wall, was to make it easier to kill zombies.

Although this carried some risk, as the saying goes, the best defense is a good offense.

And indeed it was, the zombie tide kept surging in, only to collapse continuously,

The dead zombie bodies were swiftly absorbed by the Shelter like water, converted into biological matter.

The resilient fence held on steadfastly, with the defense going smoothly for the time being.

At this moment, a dozen massive zombies appeared.

These mutant zombies were smarter than their kind.

They had been waiting for several waves of minions to try first, finding the pressure points of the fence before launching an attack.

Three batches of big zombies, like icebreakers, carved three channels through the tide.

Then, they started to batter the fence with all their might.

Each collision made the fence shake violently, as if on the verge of collapsing at any moment.

Seeing this, Lin Yi quickly dispatched reinforcements to these vulnerable spots.

Without intercoms, commanding the team was a bit troublesome, but fortunately, he had previously arranged for Solomon to organize the warriors into teams.

Five-man teams, each with a leader and numbers, made the command slightly smoother.

When Lin Yi arrived at one of the danger zones, the scene made his heart tighten.

Four massive zombies were crazily attacking, almost breaking through the fence.

"You guys deal with the minions; I'll handle these four big guys!"

Lin Yi shouted loudly, forcing a large zombie with a Flame Device back with one sword, his voice like a booming bell.

The warriors, seeing this, felt relieved one by one.

They had just become warriors not long ago and couldn't become battle-hardened soldiers in a short period.

But facing such enormous dangers without retreating, Lin Yi acknowledged their willpower.

He held a sword in his right hand, a gun in his left,

Only third-class weapons could effectively deal with mutant zombies; second level could only scratch their hide, let alone kill them.

"Roar ah ah!"

The massive zombies roared upon seeing Lin Yi, crashing with even more force against the fence.

Lin Yi awaited the right moment.

When the big brute charged crazily again, he thrust his sword, a deft wrist twist, moves smooth as flowing water, completed in one breath.

The robust mutant zombie's body went limp instantly, collapsing heavily on the fence.

Witnessing this scene, the warriors were first surprised, then amazed.

The boss...so strong!?

"Good!!" In an instant, the warriors were all filled with high morale, bravely killing enemies.

And the few big zombies, seeing their comrade solved so quickly, panicked instantly.

They recoiled a bit, trying to hide behind the minions...
