Chapter 150: Extreme Evasion
Lin Chen rested on the sofa for half an hour, and the energy in his body gradually recovered.
He remembered the unfinished "Extreme Evasion Trial" task and said to Xia Nuan: "I'm going to the outskirts of the base to try that evasion task,
you wait for me in the villa, I'll be back soon." Xia Nuan nodded: "Be careful, if you encounter danger, come back immediately."
Lin Chen picked up the short blade, walked out of the villa, and walked toward the abandoned street area on the outskirts of the base.
The system quickly located the target: 【Detected an ordinary zombie alone 150 meters ahead, meeting the task trigger conditions.】 Lin Chen slowed down his pace,
approaching step by step, his heart beginning to adjust his state—the previous two failures,
one was the evasion range exceeding the standard, one was the zombie's movement deviation, this time must be precisely controlled.
Walking to 10 meters away from the zombie,
the zombie was gnawing on a piece of rotten meat. After hearing footsteps, it slowly raised its head,
its turbid eyes staring at Lin Chen, a "ho-ho" sound coming from its throat, and it staggered toward him.
Lin Chen held his breath, deliberately recalling the sense of oppression brought by Gan Jiang just now, making his heartbeat gradually accelerate.
He could clearly feel his heart beating "thump-thump" in his chest, every beat more powerful than before.
The zombie got closer and closer. When it was 5 meters away from Lin Chen, the system prompted: 【Heartbeat detection: 165 beats/minute, not reaching trigger conditions.】 Lin Chen took a deep breath, looking at the zombie's open mouth—it was full of blackened teeth, and bloodstains hung on the gums. He deliberately magnified his inner tension, imagining the excruciating pain of being bitten, and his heartbeat climbed again.
"Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
" The heartbeat sound became louder and louder in his ears. When the zombie was 2 meters away from Lin Chen and about to pounce,
the system finally prompted: 【Heartbeat detection: 183 beats/minute, trigger conditions met! Mutation characteristics activated, retinal countdown afterimage generated: 0.3 seconds.】
The light blue "0.3 seconds" text instantly appeared on Lin Chen's retina. At the same time, the zombie's movement trajectory became clear in his eyes—it would pounce toward his left chest,
its mouth opening to the maximum, preparing to tear at the position below the collarbone. Lin Chen did not hesitate,
following the trajectory prompted by the system, his body slightly tilted to the right, controlling the range to ensure it was only 5cm.
0.2 seconds: The zombie's body had already left the ground, its claws grabbing toward Lin Chen's left shoulder.
0.1 seconds: Lin Chen's side-stepping action was completed, just avoiding the zombie's claws.
0 seconds: The zombie pounced into empty air, its body grazing Lin Chen's left arm, bringing a gust of fishy wind, and falling heavily to the ground.
Lin Chen stood in place, looking at the zombie struggling to crawl up from the ground, his heart breathing a sigh of relief.
The system prompt sounded: 【Evasion range detection: 5cm, successfully avoided the fatal tear, actual combat classic scene achieved!】 Lin Chen just wanted to be happy,
when he suddenly felt the colors in front of him begin to change—the original red zombie bloodstains turned gray, and the green weeds also became grayish-white. He then remembered the cost foreshadowing.
【Cost triggered: Short-term color blindness begins, lasting 10 seconds.】 The system prompted. Lin Chen closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the color blindness state was still there. He could only rely on his memory and the outline of the zombie, raising his short blade and slashing toward the zombie's head. With a "crack," the zombie's skull was split open, its body twitched a few times, and it completely lost movement.
10 seconds passed quickly,
the colors in front of Lin Chen gradually returned to normal, the red bloodstains and green weeds becoming clear again.
The system prompted: 【Extreme Evasion Trial task completed! Congratulations to the host for mastering the "Predictive Evasion" ability. Subsequent evasion accuracy can be improved through practice, and the cost duration will decrease with proficiency.】
Lin Chen put away the short blade and asked the system: "Previously said that completing the task can obtain the 'One Punch Man' basic ability,
can it be issued now?" 【"One Punch Man" basic ability has been unlocked, including strength enhancement (currently increased by 20%), speed enhancement (currently increased by 15%), subsequent energy can be accumulated through combat to upgrade.】
Lin Chen clenched his fists, clearly feeling that the strength in his arms was stronger than before.
He tried to move a few steps quickly, and his footsteps were also lighter than before. He walked toward the base direction,
thinking about the evasion process just now—this time it finally succeeded, without failing again due to range or accidents.
Walking to the base gate, the guards saw him and greeted him with a smile: "Brother Lin Chen,
is the task completed? You look quite happy." Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, it succeeded, and I have another way to deal with zombies in the future." After speaking, he walked toward the villa, wanting to tell Xia Nuan the news of success as soon as possible. ===== CHAPTER 151 =====
