Chapter 223: Chapter 139: Final Upgrade, Clearing Negative Level 3, Ambushed (Part 4)

This is also the reason they can thrive in the big city.

Almost no team would refuse to recruit an Evolver with a firearms superpower, though the latter mostly form a Desert Hunting Team centered around themselves.

Just like Lin Feng.

So even in a remote small town, Lin Feng could stand on equal footing with the Church of Oasis and achieve cooperation.

“Looks like your strength has grown considerably. How are you feeling, well-rested?”

Bai Ye smiled as she spoke. She had already inspected the situation on the negative second floor and was very satisfied with Lin Feng’s clearing results.

Her evaluation of his strength rose to another level.

Lin Feng nodded:

“I must thank Lord Bai for your generosity.”

“We’ve all had a sleep and have enough energy to deal with the upcoming battle on the negative third floor.”

Bai Ye glanced at the two women behind Lin Feng, both with mid-Tier One strength, while Lin Feng himself was already Level 19. She then continued to ask:

“Do you need me to send two more to ensure your safety? That Tier Three Mutant King is very cunning. I suspect that after seeing your combat power, it will lead those Tier Two Mutants and Corruptors to ambush you.”

Lin Feng frowned slightly, obviously not expecting such a situation. Could it be that the Mutants have evolved intelligence?

He then asked in response:

“Has that Tier Three Mutant developed self-awareness, or is its intelligence very high, comparable to that of a human?”

Bai Ye took a deep breath and nodded seriously:

“That’s right, we’ve had two encounters with it. One was a battle on the negative second floor where it led a large group of Tier Two Mutants to ambush us from within a building.”

“Fortunately, having had previous experience with breaking doors, we were prepared along the way, so we didn’t suffer much loss and dismantled their offensive.”

“The second encounter was earlier on the negative third floor. While you were cleaning up the negative second floor, we were ambushed at the entrance of the negative third floor. This time, that Tier Three Mutant King got smarter, doing everything it could to attack the stairway’s Light-Gathering Refracting Mirror in an attempt to sabotage the lighting strike.”

“It even piled up the carcasses of Mutants at the entrance to block the light from entering the negative third floor.”

“Moreover, those guys have learned to use rubble from buildings to block sunlight, either taught or equipped by the Tier Three Mutant.”

“Their evolution speed is very fast. Previously, they were isolated from the world and had no contact with intelligent life. Now, in our battles with them, they’re rapidly growing.”

“The Tier Two Mutants already have a certain awareness of danger, while the Tier Three Mutants even know how to deal with danger. Though it’s still unclear if they have self-awareness, they can no longer be considered as mindless zombies…”

“Otherwise, we will suffer huge losses!”

Lin Feng took a deep breath and nodded seriously:

“Understood, then send two more. That way, we can form a four-corner formation with me at the center providing support.”

Bai Ye nodded, then called over two people.

They were two squad leaders with late Tier One Evolution, one of whom was the captain who assisted in the previous cleanup.

Lin Feng had them follow behind him to ensure the safety of the rear.

With their late-stage evolutionary power, they were more than capable of dealing with the ambushes by the Tier Two Mutants, allowing Lin Feng time to react.

After everyone was arranged, they began to enter the underground ruins, engaging in a decisive battle with the Mutant tide on the negative third floor.

With Lin Feng joining this time, the firepower of the Salvation Army increased severalfold.

Soon, they reached the entrance from the negative second floor to the negative third floor, and before they went inside, Lin Feng saw smoke drifting from behind the Light-Gathering Refracting Mirror.

If it weren’t still “working hard,” blocking the Mutant flow from below the stairs, the freshly cleaned negative second floor would have surely been overtaken again by the Mutant tide.

Ahead, over ten main forces of the Salvation Army, mostly with late Tier One strength, carrying shields and flamethrowers, proceeded towards the lower stairs.

Lin Feng followed them, seeing the stairway ablaze. At the entrance of the negative third floor, a dozen people spread out into a semicircle, forming a wall of fire.

The members controlling the Light-Gathering Refracting Mirror behind them also began to adjust its direction, illuminating the interior of the negative third floor to guide the team.

The blazing fire killed one Tier One Mutant after another as they charged in.

However, it wasn’t long after the smooth advance.

Suddenly, a group of dark figures charged out from the main road!

It was a group of humanoid Mutants, with various slabs tied to their bodies and iron door panels in their hands, rushing towards everyone!

Under the sunlight, they were revealed to be a group of large Tier Two Mutants intending to break the formation.

Lin Feng squinted his eyes and immediately raised his Level 19 Rapid Fire Cannon, aiming at the attacking Mutants.

A series of twenty or thirty shells poured out, instantly heavily damaging a bunch of Mutants.

The building materials in their hands could at most resist sunlight or block the flames for a while but were powerless against the impact damage of explosions.

However, just as a few were rejoicing at the broken Mutant offensive…

Several ghostly figures suddenly appeared on the flank of the advancing formation!

The speed reached one hundred meters per second!

“Watch out!”

Chen Shanshan was the first to perceive them and sounded the alarm.

Shen Yue immediately raised her shield, blocking in front of Lin Feng!
