CHAPTER 42: CHAPTER 42: NEITHER EAGER FOR BATTLE NOR FEARFUL OF IT

Inside the shelter, in front of the laptop.

Lin Yi stared at the screen, observing the actions of those dozen elderly men and women in the electronic store.

These elderly cannibals blocked all exits to search for him and planned to clear out all items inside for a thorough sweep.

The bodies of a dozen seniors began to undergo strange changes.

Their hair grew wildly, some people’s skin turned green, and a few had four long horns sprout from their heads.

One person even directly transformed into a werewolf.

Xiaochuan gasped, "They... they’re all professionals!"

"You’re wrong, kid, they’re all prey!"

Lin Yi sneered coldly, loaded bullets into the French-made pistol, picked up the black one-handed sword, and returned to the store again.

Swish! Bang bang bang!

He swung a sword and fired three precise shots.

A four-horned head rolled to the ground, and three men in their eighties were shot and killed.

A thin and bald-headed old man, sensing trouble, immediately shouted, "Find cover! Use your skills!"

An old man with a long beard woke up, stretched his hands forward to prepare to release lightning.

Lin Yi, alert in mind, his figure "swished" and returned to the shelter again.

Immediately, through the camera, he saw a lightning strike with a deafening explosion hitting where he had just stood.

In an instant, dust billowed, and a scorched black pit appeared on the ground.

The power of this lightning was immense, leaving Lin Yi genuinely surprised.

He couldn’t help but wonder to himself, has this apocalypse already entered a mage version?

Due to the plaster dust in the air, almost nothing could be seen inside the store.

An old man tried to clear the smoke, cleared his throat, and asked, "Where is he? Did you kill him?"

"I don’t know. The dust is too thick, I can’t see anything, and —"

Bang!

Before the old man could finish his sentence, an abundance of bullets pierced through his chest.

Clearly, the camera’s thermal imaging function played a significant role.

Through Xiaochuan’s real-time narration, Lin Yi could accurately pinpoint the opponent’s position in the dust.

Currently, there were nine old men left on the camera display.

"Boss, the enemy is at the three o’clock position ahead, hiding behind the Samsung TV."

"Got it." Lin Yi quickly reloaded the bullets and then madly fired at the TV not far away.

"He’s dead! Boss, the next one is..."

Following Xiaochuan’s instructions, Lin Yi, like a god of war possessed, quickly dealt with the remaining old men.

But he also sustained a few injuries in the melee.

The old man who transformed into a werewolf was agile, extremely fast, and scratched him twice with claws. Though the wounds weren’t deep, blood kept pouring out.

Back at the shelter, old Mark immediately treated Lin Yi’s wounds and applied bandages.

Chen Youyou stood beside them, earnestly advising, "Boss! You shouldn’t have been so reckless!"

Lin Yi smiled at her without saying a word.

That group had locked the exits tightly, determined not to stop until they found him.

He couldn’t hide in the shelter forever, doing nothing.

Besides, not lingering in battle adds to his steadfast beliefs.

If he didn’t have even this bit of courage, how could he go further in this cruel apocalypse?

Lin Yi stretched his arms and legs, smiled, "I’ll head back there again, quickly grab their things, and then return."

"But boss!"

"Then why don’t you come along and help?"

"Alright!" Chen Youyou looked determined.

Lin Yi really didn’t expect her to agree...

Then, the two appeared in the half-ruined electronic mall, beginning to search the corpses.

"I found an axe, boss!"

"Let me see."

[Lucky Axe]

This is a weapon for those aged 60 and above. It’s light and sharp, giving the elderly a chance to survive... wait, you, young man, are sure to use it?

Lin Yi couldn’t fathom why such a weapon existed, this should be considered as a special weapon, right?

The two quickly scavenged twenty axes, twenty corpses, and all intact electronic products.

At the back of the electronic mall, there was an office.

This was evidently the place where the old men dined and played, they even made furniture out of the bones of eaten people, which was quite terrifying.

After sending pale-faced Chen Youyou back to the shelter, Lin Yi continued to search all the rooms.

These twenty old men were all professionals, which meant they must have killed zombies and gained a lot of coins.

Sure enough, in a storage room, Lin Yi found over six thousand coins, and six level 2 one-handed swords.

Additionally, he discovered several vaccine bracelets, two pistols, and an assault rifle in a secret compartment.

Following the practice of picking the bones clean!

With Louis’s help, Lin Yi cut off the power supply and then removed numerous solar panels from the rooftop.

Returning to the shelter, night had already fallen.

Everyone held a grand feast.

At the banquet, besides rare canned food, Lin Yi also brought out the exquisite brandy found in the store, along with dozens of bottles of various brands of wine.

Some girls ate until their bellies were round and nearly immobile; Louis drank himself into a stupor, outdrinking everyone else.

Little Natasha, though not drinking, was intoxicated by the aroma of alcohol and food, unable to even speak properly.

She opened her mouth, looked at Lin Yi, trying to say something, but couldn’t produce a single word...

Moreover, the girl Katsya, who once almost starved in the corner, tied up her white hair drunkenly and challenged the men to a test of strength.

Her first opponent was Louis.

But this was evidently a fatal mistake!

Under the old mechanician’s clothes was not a weak frame but muscles as hard as steel!

Louis spent most of his life repairing machines, which were often heavy. Due to frequently moving them, his strength was far greater than typical adults.

The result was clear, the girl underestimated the old mechanician and suffered a humiliating defeat.

After losing in the arm-wrestling match, Katsya held a contest with all the men present.

When it was Lin Yi’s turn, she was evidently already drunk beyond countenance, "thud" and fell into his arms.

Lin Yi was quite helpless, so he handed Katsya over to Chen Youyou, and then continued to enjoy the feast.

Just then, the blonde girl Martha staggered before him, slurring, "Boss... I’m useless... I only know how to please men... so..."

Lin Yi, immersed in the delight of the food, didn’t clearly hear what she said, so he turned and asked Chen Youyou, "What did she say?"

"She’s uncomfortable and wants to go to bed!" Chen Youyou said, promptly taking the drunken girl away.

After eating, Lin Yi used the spring water from the pond to take a comfortable bath.

The temperature inside the shelter was quite pleasant, sleeping on the hammock was simply an ultimate pleasure.

The only problem was, the drinking revelry was a bit noisy, but Lin Yi didn’t want to ruin everyone’s fun.

After all, in this cruel apocalypse, everyone occasionally needed such opportunities to relieve stress...
