Chapter 61 – The Fifth Stop Ends

The sniper rifle was inherently fast in initial velocity and long in range, and when combined with the Armor Piercing +2 and Explosion +1 Traits, it allowed Xiao Wuwang to easily slay a 4th-Order Strength-Type Zombie Tyrant while surpassing its Order.

Xiao Wuwang shifted the rifle’s muzzle and aimed at another Tyrant not far away.

“Bang!”

Unfortunately, this shot was slightly off, only blowing apart the Tyrant’s ear and the side of its face without damaging the brain, so it wasn’t greatly affected.

“Bang!”

Then, Xiao Wuwang gave it another shot. This time, there were no surprises—the bullet penetrated through the wound opened earlier, and with a “Boom,” the Tyrant’s head instantly exploded like a smashed watermelon, splattering dark green brain matter and pitch-black blood everywhere. Its massive body then collapsed limply to the ground, incidentally crushing a small cluster of Zombies.

Three shots to slay two 4th-Order Tyrants. The remaining Tyrants were still somewhat distant, and Xiao Wuwang didn’t want to waste the limited supply of 3rd-Order bullets, so he put away the rifle and quickly scanned the battlefield.

By now, the Zombie horde had advanced within 100 meters.

The guns and Viper-S Autocannons on the armed train had long since opened fire at full capacity.

Each barrel continuously spat tongues of flame, precisely delivering bullets into the heads of the Zombies.

Large swaths of 2nd-Order Zombies fell like harvested wheat.

Occasionally, small numbers of 3rd-Order Zombies broke through the forward fire net and charged fiercely toward the train.

But what greeted them was the furious bombardment of the 3rd-Order M870 Berserk Shotgun (Modified Type III)!

With its Power +2 and Explosion +1 Traits, it could instantly shatter the bodies of 3rd-Order Zombies!

As for the extremely fast Shadow Slashers, most were ambushed and slain by Han Xing. In just two short minutes, Han Xing had already slain over a dozen Shadow Slashers. The few Shadow Slashers that managed to reach the vicinity of the train were instantly obliterated by the Antimatter Particle Beam, leaving the Zombie horde utterly incapable of inflicting even the slightest harm on the train.

Xiao Wu and Lao Tie were like two merciless machines, ruthlessly and precisely exterminating Zombie after Zombie.

Gradually, the corpses of Zombies piled up into a wall of bodies around the periphery.

Fortunately, Xiao Wuwang was inside the Living Carriage; otherwise, he would surely have been overwhelmed by the overwhelming stench of decay outside.

The Zombie horde outside continued its relentless siege, but as soon as any Zombie climbed over the “corpse wall,” it was shot through the head by bullets, ultimately becoming part of the wall.

Even when Tyrants smashed through the “corpse wall,” they couldn’t escape the sniper fire of Xiao Wuwang and Han Xing.

After an unknown length of time, the density of the Zombie horde finally began to decrease. It was now basically certain that the horde posed no threat to the train’s safety. Moreover, the original 3rd-Order bullets for Xiao Wuwang’s sniper rifle were already exhausted, so he simply retreated into the Living Carriage.

At the firing position, some of the foul stench still seeped in, making him extremely uncomfortable.

Once inside the Living Carriage, the Air Purification System fully demonstrated its effectiveness, completely isolating the stench of decay from outside.

After another half hour or so, no more Zombies appeared outside, and Xiao Wuwang finally gained a moment of peace.

Xiao Wuwang opened the system interface and saw that from this wave of attacks alone, the Points had reached a staggering 5,435!

This meant that at this Slaughter Platform, Xiao Wuwang was guaranteed to earn at least 543 Infinite Coins.

Although the gains seemed substantial, Xiao Wuwang knew full well that the consumption in this battle was equally enormous.

The 50,000 rounds of ammunition had been expended like flowing water during the intense exchange of fire and were now nearly depleted.

Returning with such meager gains was naturally unacceptable to Xiao Wuwang.

Once his Fatigue Points were fully restored, he led Han Xing out of the station.

He was determined to find a Supply Crate!

According to the radar detection results, the Supply Crate for this Platform was located 12 kilometers northeast of the station.

It went without saying that obtaining the Supply Crate would inevitably involve facing waves of Zombie assaults.

Nevertheless, Xiao Wuwang decided to make the trip.

Suppressing his disgust, Xiao Wuwang finally climbed over the “wall of corpses” and exited the station.

The journey was not short, but he dared not drive.

This was not Dawn Town, where Zombies numbered only a thousand or two at most—this was a Zombie-infested city.

The horde that had besieged the station earlier was but a drop in the ocean compared to the city’s total.

Making even a slightly loud noise outside could attract the frenzied pursuit of thousands of Zombies. In such a scenario, not only would retrieving the Supply Crate be impossible, but even escaping safely would become a serious concern.

Han Xing cleared the path ahead, while Xiao Wuwang cautiously followed behind.

As a Liquid Metal Robot, Han Xing emitted no biological scent.

Even if Han Xing approached a nearly mindless 2nd-Order Zombie, it would not sense any danger. Once close, Han Xing would raise its hand, transforming it into a sharp blade, and instantly pierce the Zombie’s skull.

3rd-Order Zombies possessed some intelligence but still reacted relatively slowly. Han Xing would not give them a chance to retaliate, swiftly Slaying them upon approach.

Only 4th-Order Zombies posed a slightly greater challenge. With higher intelligence, they had learned to avoid danger and would autonomously Trigger attacks on any moving, non-Zombie entities that approached.

However, relying on its agility and intelligent systems, Han Xing could Slay them without prolonged engagement.

Thus, Xiao Wuwang followed behind Han Xing, proceeding unhurriedly toward the location of the Supply Crate.

At the current pace, they estimated they would reach the Supply Crate’s location in less than an hour.

Time was more than sufficient.

On the rooftop of a tall building, Xiao Wuwang looked down as Han Xing continuously Slayed Zombies. Looking further ahead, he saw more and more Zombies wandering the streets.

Beyond lay a massive public square.

At the center of the square, beside a ruined fountain sculpture, a faintly glowing crate was visible.

That was the Supply Crate!

However, the area around the Supply Crate was densely packed with a large number of Zombies, including many 4th-Order ones.

It was easy to imagine how difficult it would be to retrieve this Supply Crate.

And Xiao Wuwang had no means to lure the Zombies away.

To obtain the Supply Crate, there was only one method—

Slay all the Zombies here!

If Xiao Wuwang were alone, this would naturally be impossible.

As it stood, he dared not even make any moves that might attract the Zombies’ attention.

But with Han Xing present, Slaying all the Zombies here was merely a matter of time.

Thus, Xiao Wuwang finally entered his most leisurely period.

Han Xing had unlimited energy, and there were no environmental threats here that could endanger it, so Xiao Wuwang had no worries at all.

Half an hour later, Han Xing finally fought its way into the public square.

A large number of 4th-Order Zombies in the square were simultaneously alerted.

With so many enemy 4th-Order Units, even Han Xing’s highly precise system calculations could not completely avoid all attacks.

Sometimes, a Shadow Slasher’s claw would slice it in half; other times, a Tyrant’s punch would knock off half its head.

But as long as it did not suffer a fatal blow, no matter how badly damaged, Han Xing could quickly recover.

After being severely wounded, Han Xing merged into the ground, moving away from the center of the powerful enemy, then reformed from the periphery to continue its hunt.

Using this “unscrupulous” method, Han Xing slaughtered every last zombie in the entire Civic Square!

Of course, it took quite some time.

By the time Xiao Wuwang obtained the Supply Crate, only a little over 40 minutes of Docking Time remained.

However, Xiao Wuwang wasn’t in a hurry. On the way here, he had already slain the vast majority of the zombies. Covering the 12-kilometer distance, he returned to the train in under 20 minutes.

After the train started moving, Xiao Wuwang finished his lunch and began taking stock of the gains from this stop.
