The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle

So,

He just needed to wait for time, to wait for new and stronger equipment, tools, and other items to be updated.

"And also..."

Su Qi's eyes glanced at the surrounding zombies.

Considering he could previously pick up various tools from the zombies, it seemed that everyone should be able to progress and become stronger, and the power they would unleash later might become even mightier.

At the same time,

These fragile zombies had become completely non-threatening existences.

But obviously, such a loophole wouldn't appear.

As the Infection Circle shrank and the poison fog in the outer city dissipated, Su Qi distinctly felt that these zombies were becoming crazier, more bloodthirsty, and also gradually more troublesome.

"As the safe zone shrinks, all the zombies are continuously growing stronger."

"It seems that everyone must find a way to become stronger during this period, or else... in the end, without having fought much, we'll all be annihilated within this horde of zombies."

At this moment, Su Qi was also paying attention to the Demon that was approaching from the shadows.

Yet he didn't show any expression or make any movements.

He was just a bit curious.

The other party's speed of approach was quite fast, so they probably had some special equipment.

With one swipe of his axe, he cut through three zombies nearby.

Su Qi, holding the blood-dripping axe, charged forward!

More and more zombies approached, issuing out crazed howls.

This was a vicious cycle, once you used a gun, the gunfire would attract even more zombies, and while you might want to temporarily avoid them to find a safer path, the Infection Circle behind wouldn't allow it.

So,

One had to break through the encirclement in one go without stopping.

Of course, this was only true for most people; Su Qi could very well shoot his way out with the Cricket Gun, or use the Annihilation Bee Swarm, but the latter only had one chance to use.

Furthermore,

He was also concerned about the Demon that had been following behind them, lying in wait quietly; he feared scaring it off.

And at that time,

The dangerous presence had already arrived quietly.

That ice-cold gaze was already prepared, with a faint fatal murderous intent spreading.

And they didn't react, running through the horde of zombies, with the sounds of gunfire and axes ongoing.

It coldly stretched out a hand.

The ice-cold bullet was ready, and now was a close-range ambush, the power of the Enhancing Potion had somewhat lifted it out of the ordinary human range, but this was also within the rules.

Here it came!

On the streets, the zombies roared and pounced toward the two live targets; the horde here was obviously denser than before!

Jiulin growled lowly, holding a gun in his Left Hand and an axe in his right, feeling the strain.

Su Qi, too, swung his axe, clearing the way.

It was at this moment,

That its pistol fired off a shot, the rapid bullet with its cold friction, in an instant!

"Bang!"

Hit Su Qi directly!

Its eyes were cold.

Although the first choice was to take out the Heavenly Destiny People who carried weapons.

But just now, somehow, as a Demigod, it felt an unconscious twitch in its brow, and the gun automatically aimed at Su Qi.

This guy had no weapons... it was guessing, perhaps he had obtained something like hand grenades; the commotion at the top of the building was probably because of this.

So now he was only holding a Fire Axe, without other means of attack.

And the next moment,

Su Qi was hit by the bullet and fell to the ground, clutching his chest.

"Brother Su!"

Jiulin's eyes widened!

He roared, firing directly toward the direction of the Demon!

The Demon calmly watched this scene, easily dodging the bullet with a simple movement.

"Foolish."

"Having gone through countless years of survival games, do you think the group of Black Cat survived by luck?"

"The body can become ordinary, but the soul will not; everyone has a terrifying capacity for premonition, reflexes, extraordinary awareness."

"Unless you have firepower coverage or overwhelming equipment, it's not so simple to kill someone prepared with ordinary firearms."

"That's why I've been following in secret for so long, choosing to suddenly attack with gunfire."

Jiulin's gaze was heavy as he pulled the trigger again.

The Demon in front of him slightly shifted, and, anticipating the action, dodged once more.

And Jiulin couldn't swap the bullets in his gun in time because the zombies had surged forward again.

Demon stood in the distance, strolling over.

"It seems you still don't understand," the Demon said while approaching, "you new Heavenly Destiny People are too naive compared to Black Cat and his kind."

Though its words seemed dismissive, its motions were anything but, being fully prepared to strike Jiulin down.

Those who walked in the sequence were no simple beings, and even with absolute advantage, they aimed to kill with a single blow.

Jiulin knew the danger was imminent, surrounded by a horde of zombies attracted to the blood on him like poison.

Wanting to break through... but in the next moment, Demon's bullets precisely targeted his projected escape path again.

Jiulin was also on guard and, with great difficulty, barely dodged the attack.

Then, with a low growl, he pulled out an energy drink and chugged it.

In the next instant,

Jiulin's entire body burst forth with a remarkable surge of Strength!

With a mighty leap, powered by more than human explosive power, he vaulted three meters into the air, axe in hand, lunging towards the Demon!

"...Hmm?"

Demon narrowed his eyes and paused briefly, "So you've also got your hands on something enhancing?"

"But it looks like it won't last long."

The Fire Axe, with its ferocious burst of strength, charged at it.

Demon had no intention of engaging at close quarters with him in such a state; through countless ages, each of them was cunning enough to easily overcome, without taking any risks.

Then,

Without any hesitation, it utilized its 3D maneuver gear to spring into the air.

And at that moment,

Jiulin, who had been charging forward with roars, suddenly showed a hint of change. His explosive onslaught abruptly halted, and he fell to the other side, shouting in the midst of it all, "Su Buxian!"

"Here."

Demon's mind was shaken, instinctively sensing something amiss.

In the blink of an eye,

It noticed Su Qi, who was assumed downed, now standing beneath, holding a Little Cricket Pistol, squinting and aiming at it mid-air!

Missed?

No.

It was hit, but without a scratch.

That little pistol... its appearance was ridiculous, yet it instilled a sense of danger in the Demon, but it was still not panicked, thinking it could easily dodge in mid-air, all attacks considered.

And the next instant,

Su Qi formed a word with his lips.

Demon felt a pang of alarm, for reading from its lips... it seemed to be the word "Boom."

"Boom?"

But normally, shouldn't it be "Bang"?

And the next breath,

Its question was answered!

A horrifying blast of energy erupted from the Little Cricket Pistol! An unavoidable beam of energy, directly obliterating the Demon!

Demon's pupils contracted, its eyes bulging in shock!

"You...."

But before its voice could emerge, its upper body had already been penetrated!

And the surrounding zombies,

Eyeing the charred body that fell, swarmed excitedly towards it and began tearing it apart.

Jiulin, witnessing this scene, had no time for elation. Capitalizing on the effects of the drug, he wielded his Fire Axe, cleaving through the mass of zombies like Zhao Zilong in a deadly dance.

"Brother Su, let's go!"

Su Qi glanced at the destroyed equipment and the empty syringe that had fallen.

His brows slightly moved.

Enhanced, huh?

He didn't linger, immediately dashing forward.

"Be careful, I'll open..." Jiulin was ready to take on more pressure for Su Qi.

"That won't be necessary," Su Qi, already bursting forth, interrupted: "Just head straight on at full speed."

His rapid and astounding explosive power was fully displayed, effortlessly sweeping away any zombie that blocked their path.

No helping it.

I'm not slacking off.

Demons are trickier to kill than imagined, without some acting, how could they fall for it?

And Jiulin, looking at his splitting axe, fell silent: "..."

Even the teammate was part of the act, huh.
