Chapter 57: Are All the Women Around Big Shots This Strong?

Thunder Team.

The leader, Divine Punishment, and the second-in-command, Black Feather, were both S-tier awakened talent users.

The rest were all A-tier talent users with formidable strength.

Lin Yu's two posts had caused a massive uproar.

Evolutionaries around Tianhai City, who fancied themselves powerful, all set out, wanting to come to Tianhai City to grab a share of the spoils.

The mindset of many of them was quite simple.

Expect them to save others? That was out of the question; they were simply after the high-tier crystal cores.

Anyway, both Big Senior Brother and The Magician were there, so a great many experts would definitely be gathered together, meaning they didn't need to worry too much about their own safety.

"Over the next period of time, Tianhai City will probably give birth to a large batch of Tier 2 powerhouses, and several Tier 3 ones are likely to appear as well."

Lin Yu looked at the various comments beneath the posts.

He could foresee that many clever and powerful individuals would spare no cost to come and grab a share of the spoils.

The next day.

When Lin Yu and the others walked downstairs, He Song and Yang Long were already waiting with over thirty people.

"Are all of them willing?"

Lin Yu looked at the thirty-plus people, quite satisfied that fully half of them were willing to follow him.

"Of course, it's our blessing to be able to follow a big shot," He Song said with a chuckle.

"Indeed, indeed. Just give the order if the big shot needs anything done."

"Alright, follow me, all of you." Lin Yu nodded and led the group out of the hotel.

Outside.

It was a scene of utter devastation.

Many buildings had been destroyed, and not a single zombie was to be seen.

Presumably, all the zombies in this vicinity had perished in last night's rat tide, leaving none behind.

"Let's go!"

Lin Yu identified the direction and dashed toward the street.

"Zombies, so many zombies!"

"The big shot isn't planning on having us fight these zombies head-on, is he?"

After walking for a dozen minutes, the crowd caught sight of countless zombies wandering the streets and shops from afar.

Their legs all turned somewhat weak.

The number of zombies was simply too vast; by a preliminary estimate, there were probably tens of thousands of them.

"B-Big shot, we're not actually going to provoke this many zombies, are we?" He Song's voice was trembling slightly.

"Scared?"

Lin Yu asked with a smile.

"Big shot, I think we could use the method of luring monsters out to kill them one by one. Charging in recklessly like this is just throwing our lives away."

It wasn't his fault for being afraid.

The hundred-plus people in their previous group had always targeted small, sparse groups of zombies when clearing them out.

When they encountered large numbers, they would either waste time taking a detour or send fast evolutionaries to lure the monsters away before picking them off one by one.

Although that took more time, at least it was safe, right?

"Alright, I'll explain your task now."

Lin Yu looked at the crowd, turning serious. "The few of us will clear out the zombies, and the rest of you will be responsible for collecting the crystal cores. Once collected, hand them over to Shiyun."

Lin Yu pointed at Liu Shiyun.

Then, he continued: "I won't let you work in vain. Five percent of the crystal cores you collect will be your reward, but you'd better not embezzle any of them, or I'll throw you to the zombies as rations."

Lin Yu's cold gaze swept across everyone present, making them shiver involuntarily.

"Just like that?"

He Song was a bit dazed.

He had expected something dangerous; he never imagined it would just be picking up crystal cores. It was just that... well, wasn't five percent a bit too little?

Even with their formidable strength, how many zombies could the few of them kill in a day? Two or three thousand at most.

That meant each of them wouldn't even end up with ten cores in their hands.

Besides, with so many zombies gathered here, what if they ended up having to run for their lives midway through the fight?

However, the next moment.

He realized he was wrong.

And wrong to a ridiculous degree.

He saw Lin Yu open his mouth, and a stream of fire spewed forth, transforming into a raging sea of flames by the time it reached the zombies.

The zombies were incinerated one by one, leaving behind only a ground full of crystal cores.

"Is this damn guy even human?"

"Who on earth is this big shot? With a wave of his hand, wiping out zombies is like slaughtering little chicks; a single move takes out a whole area."

"Fire-attribute abilities are so powerful and so cool!"

The surrounding crowd stared in utter astonishment.

They had never seen such a method or speed of killing zombies; the efficiency was simply too high!

They just wondered how long the big shot's magic could hold out.

If he could keep going indefinitely, they would still get a decent amount even if it was just five percent.

"What are you staring at? Get to work!" He Song barked.

At this moment, he had already made up his mind to tightly follow the footsteps of the big shot before him. It would be even better if he could become his lackey.

On the other side.

Ye Piaopiao waved her hand and directly inscribed a secondary incantation: [Speed Doubled].

In an instant, she left behind only trails of afterimages.

Charging into the zombie horde, her sword light danced. With a single strike, she could take the heads of a dozen zombies.

With her extreme speed, the moment after a strike, her figure would appear elsewhere to continue swinging her sword.

"This woman is terrifying too!"

He Song felt his scalp tingle as he watched. Ye Piaopiao killing zombies truly looked like slicing melons and vegetables.

It was far too effortless!

Moreover, her speed reached the ultimate limit; even he, a Tier 1, could only see her vaguely.

"None of these people are pushovers, indeed. Even a woman among them is this strong."

Thinking of this, he looked toward the last person.

Sure enough.

Not a single person accompanying the big shot, not even the woman, was simple.

In the distance, Liu Shiyun also wore an effortless expression.

With every snap of her fingers, space shattered, and whole patches of zombies were shredded to death.

Her range couldn't compare to Lin Yu's, but it was still an area-of-effect attack skill, and her clearing speed was similarly fast.

Just like that, the three of them engaged in a frantic slaughter at the front.

The thirty-odd people following behind constantly picked up the dropped crystal cores from the ground.

The pace was much faster than before.

In half a day, they had advanced a dozen kilometers.

At this rate, Lin Yu estimated they would reach Tianhai University in two more days.

---

At this moment.

Tianhai University, Library.

"Haha, I've finally reached Tier 1." Zhao Qiu was exceptionally excited.

For six days, he had finally gathered ten Tier 1 crystal cores and successfully broken through to Tier 1.

He could plunder another talent once again.

"Lin Xiaoyou, forcing me to cross you every day—once I plunder your talent, I'll make your life worse than death."

Zhao Qiu wore a ferocious expression.
