Chapter 418: Chapter 416: Coming to the Rescue
After hearing Lin Xinghai’s final offer, Yan Feijie and the other two exchanged a look. Without any further hesitation, they immediately called out their acceptance.
At that moment, every single student trapped in the office building erupted in cheers. Their morale soared.
Yan Feijie and the others couldn’t help but sigh with mixed emotions at the sight.
No amount of motivational words from them could ever compare to a single act of help from Lin Xinghai.
But it couldn’t be helped; the more they had hated and feared Lin Xinghai before, the more overjoyed they were now.
After all, if Lin Xinghai could truly eliminate all the High Level Zombies, the remaining Intermediate and Ordinary Zombies would pose no threat. In fact, they would just be walking bags of Points for the taking.
After agreeing to Lin Xinghai’s terms, Yan Feijie and the other two leaders quickly conferred with the rest of the students. The main topic was how to pay the Credit Points.
Yan Feijie adopted a plan similar to Lin Xinghai’s, proposing to divide the 10,000 Credit Points evenly among every student who passed the entrance exam.
While 10,000 Credit Points was a huge sum, not only was their group large, but it was also composed of top-tier teams.
Out of the 3,000 people here, at least 1,100 of them were currently ranked in the top 3,000 for Points.
Even if some of their rankings were to drop later, they were confident they could keep 1,000 people in qualifying positions. When the time came, the 10,000 Credit Points would be split among them, and each person would only have to pay 10 Credit Points.
Such a small price would be no burden at all, even for an average student.
Everyone quickly came to an agreement.
As for Yan Feijie, Yuan Zheng, and Hong Xiuyuan, they immediately drafted an IOU as Lin Xinghai had requested and signed their names.
In addition, they also collected all the ammunition from the other students.
It was a good thing Lin Xinghai made this request when he did. Had he waited another half hour, they probably wouldn’t have had many bullets left to give.
As it was, by pooling their resources, the 3,000-plus people were still able to scrounge up over 10,000 rounds of ammunition.
While Yan Feijie’s group made swift preparations, Lin Xinghai wasn’t idle either. As soon as he heard their agreement, he quickly headed for the building adjacent to the office building.
’Ten thousand Credit Points, just like that. Since the deal is done, it’s time to do my part, and I certainly won’t be slacking.’
’In fact, before making the deal, Lin Xinghai had considered setting the price higher. For instance, charging 6 Credit Points per High Level Zombie. Given their situation, they would have certainly agreed even to that.’
’Then, he would only need to take out half of the High Level Zombies to earn his 10,000 Credit Points, while leaving the rest to continue tormenting Yan Feijie’s group.’
’But he had ultimately abandoned that idea. It wasn’t out of the kindness of his heart. Rather, after his conversation with Zuo Wenya, he knew that Zuo Wenya was under considerable pressure for backing him so strongly.’
’For example, the Body Shaping Realm experts assigned to the rescue mission would surely be annoyed about their workload increasing for no good reason.’
’One or two might not matter, but there were over a dozen of them here. If they banded together to file a complaint against Zuo Wenya, he would definitely be under immense pressure.’
’Furthermore, since he was the source of this trouble, it would also be a problem for him if a few of those Body Shaping Realm experts came to resent him.’
’So, after weighing his options, Lin Xinghai decided it was better to eliminate all the High Level Zombies. That way, the rescue pressure on the Body Shaping Realm experts would be gone.’
Lin Xinghai quickly wove through the dense horde of zombies and entered the building closest to the office building.
He charged straight up to the 5th floor, picked a room with a large floor-to-ceiling window, and went inside. With two swift kicks, he shattered the entire window.
At that moment, Yan Feijie arrived on the 5th floor of the office building, carrying a large bag.
Upon seeing Lin Xinghai, he threw the bag over without a word.
The bag flew in a perfect arc over thirty meters and landed precisely in Lin Xinghai’s hands.
Lin Xinghai unzipped the bag. On top was the IOU, and underneath were magazines packed with ammunition.
He picked up the IOU and glanced at it. After confirming everything was in order, he folded it with satisfaction and tucked it into his pocket.
However, his brow furrowed slightly as he took stock of the ammunition.
"Is this all the ammunition you have?" Lin Xinghai called out to the building opposite him.
They had only thrown him 2,000 rounds, which definitely wasn’t enough. He had no intention of covering the shortfall out of his own pocket.
"Here are 2,000 rounds to start! The rest are still being loaded into magazines," Yan Feijie shouted back, then asked, "But we only have a little over 15,000 rounds left in total. Will that be enough for you?"
Lin Xinghai was a bit surprised. He wasn’t sure what Yan Feijie was thinking, but after a moment’s hesitation, he answered honestly, "I don’t need that many. 4,000 rounds will be enough."
He already had over 1,000 rounds in his combat backpack and couldn’t carry much more. He had asked for 4,000 rounds; this amount would be sufficient for the job, and would also let him replenish the 500 rounds he had previously consumed.
Now it was Yan Feijie’s turn to be surprised. He knew Lin Xinghai’s Gun Technique was terrifying, so he didn’t doubt his ability to kill High Level Zombies with ordinary bullets.
But in his mind, even if Lin Xinghai landed a headshot with every bullet, it should still take two or three rounds to kill a single High Level Zombie.
’But from the sound of it, it seemed like a single bullet was all he needed!’
However, he was only slightly surprised. So many incredible things had already happened around Lin Xinghai that the idea of him instantly killing a High Level Zombie with a normal bullet didn’t seem so hard to accept.
Meanwhile, on the third and fourth floors of the office building, many of the students fending off zombies near the windows spared a moment to glance in Lin Xinghai’s direction.
They had witnessed Lin Xinghai’s shooting before—he literally hit whatever he aimed at. No matter how desperately they had dodged, he had easily hit their hands or feet.
But that was all against human opponents. They had never actually seen him in action against zombies, so they were all filled with anticipation.
But it wasn’t just the examinees watching Lin Xinghai’s every move. The exam proctors and the soldiers stationed nearby, ready to intervene at a moment’s notice, were all paying close attention.
Like the examinees, they had all breathed a quiet sigh of relief upon learning that Lin Xinghai was about to take action, feeling a great weight lift from their shoulders.
"This kid... he’s pretty savvy." Standing on the rooftop of another building, Zuo Wenya watched the scene unfold with a faint smile.
He, of course, understood Lin Xinghai’s intentions.
At the same time, he was also eager to see what it would look like when Lin Xinghai finally went all out.
After all, while Lin Xinghai had demonstrated terrifying Gun Technique during the earlier parts of the exam, his limited ammunition had forced him to be conservative with his shots.
Even on the first night, when they were besieged by 3,000 zombies, he had waited until the High Level Zombies were on the verge of threatening other students before opening fire.
But now, it was clear that Lin Xinghai was about to go all out and unleash a massacre on the zombies.
With everyone watching in breathless anticipation, Lin Xinghai raised the Tearing Rifle in his hands, aimed at the horde below, and pulled the trigger.
