"What was that just now…"
After experiencing the assassination attempt, Luo Xiaole and her group exchanged bewildered glances.
"Let us guess who would do such a shameless thing…" Luo Shu began her sarcastic tirade!
"Then we don't even need to think about it…" the Lin Xia sisters said with grim expressions, gritting their teeth. "It has to be the Azure Dragon Gang."
"Are these guys flies? How can they be everywhere… and they even came to Luocheng Base. They're too bold!" Zhou Xiaojun said indignantly.
"I have a question, I don't know if I should ask…" Seeing Lin Xia's angry look, Pi Jiajia rubbed her clothes corner in a voice as thin as a mosquito's hum…
"If you have something to say, spit it out." Lin Xia was still fuming.
"What exactly happened between the Azure Dragon Gang and… your father?" Ever since he learned of Lin Xia's feud with the Azure Dragon Gang, he had been very curious about what had happened.
"Cheng Miao was my father's subordinate before," Lin Xia said, taking a deep breath, delivering a shocking revelation.
"But I was young then and didn't go to the gang often, so I didn't interact with him much. I only know that after the apocalypse, this Azure Dragon Gang suddenly rose to power, and on the first night the zombies attacked, that Cheng Miao betrayed my father, incited other subordinates, and pushed my father into the zombie horde with his own hands…" Her eyes filled with tears, and she bit her lip hard.
"Watching the flesh on my father's body being torn away piece by piece, I wished I could tear Cheng Miao into a thousand pieces! But I was too weak then. I struggled desperately, trying to run over, but my father, until his last moment, had his most trusted subordinates hold me back tightly and hide me…
I swear I will not let Cheng Miao off…"
She gritted her teeth, her words dripping with blood.
"Later I found out that he… was the vice-leader of the Azure Dragon Gang…
So even if I die, I have to personally witness the day the Azure Dragon Gang is annihilated!"
Lin Xia clenched her fists tightly. Lin Ruoshui rushed forward and tightly held her sister's hand…
They silently vowed in their hearts that they would see that day.
They wanted the people of the Azure Dragon Gang to experience the pain of being gnawed by countless zombies!
…
"Huff…" Luo Xiaole lay on her bed, thinking about what had just happened, and found it incredible.
At the same time, a sense of impending crisis made her feel vaguely uneasy.
"I should deal with the recoil problem first…" she said, scratching her small head in frustration.
For them to act against her so quickly, those people must be in a hurry. Their "grand operation" should be imminent.
It was the eve of a storm, and she had no time to practice slowly and overcome the recoil. If a real fight broke out, she would still have to use her gun!
She skillfully opened the system panel and looked at the options under body modification.
"As expected, I can also add physical attributes!" Her eyes lit up. She looked at the panel and hesitated between increasing speed and strength.
Although she really wanted to choose speed, speed had four tiers. If she leveled up this time, it might not be enough for self-defense…
Strength was different. Although it only increased by one level, it would be enough for her to lift a gun!
Mo Chen had said that to reduce the impact of recoil, one could increase the gun's counterweight. The system's weapon shop could do that, but such a gun would be too heavy for her to hold steady…
As long as she upgraded the "Strength" option, even by one level, it would be enough for her to hold a weighted gun steady! 138 Reading Network
Plus her almost infinite ammunition…
This was the way to survive!
"Alright, I'll level it up one by one, and one day I'll turn into the Hulk!"
Luo Xiaole gritted her teeth, stamped her foot, spent 5 million "fortune," and clicked "Confirm"…
【Ding! Congratulations Host, "Strength" attribute added, physical strength increased by 25%】
Yay!
【Your account has been deducted 5 million, balance 1,117,135 shop coins】
Hiss… This was the feeling of heartache…
Luo Xiaole rolled off the bed.
She decided to try out her new ability.
"Click!" A new gun instantly appeared in her hand. She casually swung it, creating a sharp whistling sound in the air.
So heavy… What a gun!
This gun had several pounds of counterweight added by the system. Most people wouldn't be able to lift it casually.
But for her now, lifting this gun, which weighed as much as a great axe, was completely effortless!
"Bang!" A bullet shot towards a distant tree!
"Swish!" Leaves fell instantly, hitting the bullseye!
This was the effect she wanted!
It was much more stable than before.
Let's try again.
"Roar—" Luo Xiaole lowered her gaze and saw that a few emaciated zombies had appeared in their block without them knowing…
"I apologize for your transformation… Let me end your lives…" Luo Xiaole murmured regretfully.
With a raise of her slender yet strong arm, she moved like a knight in the night, her eyes narrowing, the trigger pulled, and she fired!
The two rotten heads below instantly exploded, scattering blood and flesh…
The two zombies returned to dust.
Very good, this marksmanship was now up to par…
…
"Base News Flash: Today, large-scale zombie attacks were discovered on Luoxin North Road, Central Avenue, and Bianmin South Road. Patrol teams and soldiers have been dispatched. Citizens are advised to reduce travel and avoid these areas."
"Base News Flash: The community clinic in Shuhe District suffered a zombie attack and incurred heavy losses. Citizens near the clinic road are urged to leave as quickly as possible or seek help from patrol teams!"
"Zombie activity has been detected in the Nanshan district. Citizens are advised to stay away!"
One piece of news after another poured in. Hearing the occasional screams from outside, the citizens of Luocheng Base were extremely panicked.
Fear spread, manifesting as worry on everyone's faces…
"My neighbor… went out to do a life mission this morning and was bitten to death by zombies right at the door… blood splattered everywhere…"
"What should we do now… Have we returned to the day the apocalypse broke out?"
"Commander Zhou said before that he would bring peace to everyone, that he would protect the base…"
"You believe that? How can the scale of these zombie attacks be suppressed now! Let's pack up and run. Maybe the nearby Fengcheng Base is still a place to stay…"
"But the base is like this, now leaving the base, I'm afraid… I'm afraid it won't end well, right?"
"Then you'll be cornered by zombies in this base!"
"What… what should we do…" The bulletin board was filled with despair…
Completely different from the despair and pleas of the citizens.
Inside a very luxurious, private room, Cheng Miao was lounging comfortably on the soft cushion with his legs crossed…
The red wine in his hand hung on the rim of the glass, refracting a beautiful and exciting light…
"How about it, Young Master Zhou, is this wave of attacks acceptable? Tomorrow is the day of action, and we will soon control the entire Luocheng Base. What are your thoughts?" Cheng Miao's eyes were filled with a triumphant smile.
Zhou Kaifeng ignored his smugness.
Instead, he concentrated, going over the day's action plan again and again in his mind.
"The poison, the pharmaceutical factory, the spatial hub, the weapons from the weapon factory, the people around my father and our people in the base's city defense…"
A sigh of relief finally curled up on the corner of his mouth.
There was… no reason to lose.
