Chapter 56: Superpower
Lin Chen just leaned against the wall to catch his breath,
when the sound of thunderous gunfire and shouting came from downstairs—it wasn't aimed at the safe house, but rather like two groups of people fighting. He hurriedly limped to the window,
lifted the canvas and looked down, his pupils instantly shrinking: the "Shadow" organization members who had retreated earlier had actually come back,
a full 1800 of them, and 800 more small attack aircraft, surrounding another group of people and fighting.
That group of people wore uniform black combat uniforms, with the words "Balam Line" printed on their clothes,
numbering 999, holding heavy weapons, and fighting the "Shadow" organization to a standstill.
Bullets flew randomly in the air, the roar of the attack aircraft made the windows shake, and the accumulated snow on the ground was lifted into the sky by the shrapnel of the explosions.
What is going on?
How did these two groups start fighting?" A Kai also leaned over to look,
full of shock. Xia Nuan supported Lin Chen's arm, her voice trembling: "Will they come to attack our safe house after they finish fighting?"
Before Lin Chen could speak, a system notification suddenly popped up before his eyes, the font several times brighter than usual:
【Detected large-scale conflict, 'Shadow' organization (1800 people + 800 attack aircraft) VS Balam Line team (999 people), about to affect the safe house, does the host choose to intervene?】
"Intervene? How can we intervene with so few people?" Lin Chen frowned, just about to close the notification,
when the system popped up new content: 【System can provide temporary ability support: 30-second super-large steel fist (one-punch kill), 40-second flight ability, 1-minute blink, do you want to exchange?】
Lin Chen's eyes lit up, but quickly sank again: "What are the conditions for exchange?"
【Exchange condition: 10 years of lifespan】 The system notification replied in seconds, without any room for negotiation.
"10 years of lifespan?" Lin Chen gripped his fists, muttering in his heart—10 years of lifespan for a few minutes of temporary ability,
it's not worth it, and it's not permanent. If he encounters danger after using it up,
he won't even have the strength to resist. He just wanted to refuse, when the system notification suddenly jumped,
with urgent red text: 【Warning! The conflict below is about to end, the remaining forces will turn to the safe house. If you don't exchange, the survival probability of the host and companions will drop to 10%!】
Lin Chen glanced downstairs—the Balam Line team was already unable to hold on,
a large area had fallen, and the "Shadow" organization's attack aircraft were turning toward the safe house. If he dragged it out,
they would eventually be affected. He gritted his teeth: "Damn it! Death is death sooner or later, 10 years of lifespan for a chance to live, it's worth it! I agree to exchange!"
【Exchange successful! 10 years of lifespan deducted, temporary abilities activated: 30-second super-large steel fist, 40-second flight, 1-minute blink, countdown to duration started】
Just as the notification disappeared, Lin Chen suddenly felt full of strength, his right hand instantly grew larger,
wrapped in a layer of thick steel armor, the fist larger than a basketball, glowing with cold light.
He tried to lift his arm; it wasn't heavy at all, instead, he felt he had endless strength.
"I'll go down and solve them, you guys don't come out in the room!" Lin Chen shouted at A Kai and Xia Nuan,
and without waiting for the two to react, his feet suddenly lifted off the ground, and he flew directly out of the window—flight ability activated!
The "Shadow" organization members and the Balam Line team downstairs were all stunned, stopped their movements,
and looked up at Lin Chen flying in the air. A small leader of the "Shadow" organization reacted and raised his gun to shoot: "Shoot him down for me!"
Lin Chen's eyes turned cold,
activated blink, his body instantly disappeared from the spot, and when he appeared again, he was already behind that small leader,
and the super-large steel fist smashed down directly. With a "bang," the small leader didn't even make a scream, and was smashed into meat paste directly.
The people around panicked instantly, raising their guns and spraying at Lin Chen. Lin Chen blinked again, dodged all the bullets, landed in the crowd, and swung the steel fist left and right, one punch for one person.
Whether it was the "Shadow" organization people or the Balam Line people, as long as they were touched by the fist,
they either broke their hands or legs, and none could stand up.
A few attack aircraft wanted to fire at Lin Chen, but he directly activated the flight ability,
soared into the air, and rushed toward the attack aircraft. The steel fist smashed into the fuselage of the attack aircraft, and with a "clatter," the attack aircraft instantly lost control,
smoking black smoke and crashing to the ground, exploding into a ball of flame. He was like a war god, shuttling through the attack aircraft group, and in less than 10 seconds, he smashed dozens of them.
The remaining people were completely scared out of their wits, some wanting to run, some directly kneeling and begging for mercy. Lin Chen didn't stop,
blinked in front of the people who wanted to run, one punch for one person, flight ability combined with blink, blocking everyone who wanted to run. The 30-second steel fist time was up,
his right hand returned to normal, but the 40-second flight and 1-minute blink were still continuing.
He landed on the ground, picked up an M416, and sprayed at the remaining people. Before long,
1800 "Shadow" organization members and 999 Balam Line team members all fell to the ground, with no survivors.
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the sound of zombie roars suddenly came from the distance—densely packed zombies were rushing toward this side,
numbering 5012, all attracted by the gunfire just now.
Lin Chen didn't panic, blinked to the front of the zombie group, picked up the Gatling gun on the ground, and sprayed at the zombie group.
The flight ability allowed him to dodge the zombies' attacks in the air, and the blink allowed him to quickly adjust his position. In less than 1 minute, all 5012 zombies were riddled with holes,
falling into the snow, blood flowing like a river.
All threats were resolved, and Lin Chen's temporary abilities had just expired. He was exhausted,
staggered back to the safe house, pushed the door open, and A Kai and Xia Nuan hurriedly rushed over to support him.
"Brother Lin Chen, are you okay? That was too cool just now!" A Kai was full of excitement, and Xia Nuan also had red eyes,
constantly checking if he was injured.
Lin Chen just wanted to speak, when a system notification popped up before his eyes: 【Temporary ability usage complete,
Reward: Absolute Zero ability duration +1 second (Current duration: 2 seconds)】
Immediately followed by another notification: 【Supplementary information: The small-scale team that previously attacked the host belongs to a branch of the Balam Line team】.
Lin Chen leaned on the sofa, looking at his hands, the feeling of killing in all directions still there, and he couldn't help but laugh: "This is too cool!" ===== CHAPTER 57 =====
