Chapter 64: Scene Simulation

The three had just walked not far from the convenience store,

when a system notification suddenly popped up before Lin Chen's eyes: 【Detected host successfully resisted the zombie tide, and has been in a state of movement for a long time, issued "Safe House Basic Upgrade Pack", containing: Purple Electric Grid Blueprint ×1, Primary Energy Core ×3, Automatic Turret Parts ×5, do you want to extract immediately?】

"Extract!

" Lin Chen muttered in his heart, and the next second, several items glowing with faint light appeared in his backpack.

He unfolded the blueprint,

which clearly marked the installation steps of the purple electric grid,

with system annotations attached: 【Purple electric grid can release 100,000 volts of high voltage, has fatal lethality to both zombies and humans, needs to be paired with energy core to start】.

"With this thing,

we don't have to hide everywhere anymore!" Lin Chen excitedly handed the blueprint to A Kai and Xia Nuan,

"Find a hidden place to build a safe house, with the purple electric grid, we won't be afraid even if the 'Shadow' organization comes again!"

A Kai looked at the blueprint,

his eyes shining: "This electric grid looks powerful! Let's go to the abandoned shopping mall we found before,

it has a large space, and we can reinforce the doors and windows!" Xia Nuan also nodded in agreement, and the three immediately set off toward the abandoned shopping mall.

The journey was relatively calm, with only sporadic zombies. Lin Chen used Absolute Zero to freeze their legs,

A Kai went up to finish them off, and they cleared them quickly. When they were almost at the mall,

the system notification popped up again: 【Detected 30 armed personnel gathering 500 meters ahead, identified as the Shadow organization vanguard team, suggest host use the purple electric grid to set an ambush】.

Lin Chen's heart tightened, and he stopped: "The 'Shadow' organization people are here,

just in time to test the power of the purple electric grid." He let A Kai and Xia Nuan hide in the warehouse at the back door of the mall first,

while he himself, according to the blueprint, quickly installed the purple electric grid at the mall entrance—embedding the energy core into the ground groove, splicing the turret parts, and finally activating the electric grid switch,

a pale purple current instantly wove into a giant net at the entrance, hidden in the air, not easily noticeable without careful observation.

Just after setting it up, the sound of off-road vehicle engines came from the distance. 30 Shadow organization members raised their guns,

walking over aggressively, the leader using a megaphone to shout: "Lin Chen,

we know you're inside! Surrender quickly, otherwise we'll blow up this broken mall!"

Lin Chen leaned behind the warehouse door, and said to A Kai and Xia Nuan through the walkie-talkie: "Don't come out,

watch how I handle them." He took a deep breath, and said to the system in his heart:

"Activate purple electric grid, target: all Shadow organization members entering the mall entrance."

【Purple electric grid activated, current energy sufficient, can release 10 high-voltage electric shocks continuously】 Just as the system notification fell, a few Shadow organization members impatiently rushed into the mall entrance.

They had just stepped over the electric grid boundary, when the pale purple current instantly erupted, the "zizi" sound of the current piercing,

and those few people didn't even have time to scream before they were electrocuted into charred corpses, falling to the ground.

"What is that?!" The leader was startled and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to stop advancing.

Lin Chen sneered, and ordered the system: "Expand the electric grid range, cover the entire entrance area."

【Electric grid range expanded, energy consumption increased by 5%】, the pale purple current spread, surrounding the mall entrance tightly.

"Fire!

Shoot the things inside out!" The leader ordered,

and his subordinates immediately sprayed at the entrance, bullets hitting the invisible screen of the electric grid, being bounced off by the current,

unable to penetrate at all. Lin Chen seized the opportunity and ordered again: "Electric grid active attack, target: all remaining members."

【Received command, purple electric grid full-force attack】, this time, the pale purple current was no longer a static net,

but turned into bolts of lightning,

slashing toward the Shadow organization members. Some members were hit by lightning and instantly fell to the ground;

some wanted to drive away, the current transmitted to the car body along the wheels, the entire off-road vehicle was electrocuted until black smoke came out, and the people in the car also had no movement.

In a short minute, all 30 Shadow organization members were solved by the purple electric grid,

corpses lying horizontally and vertically on the ground, the air filled with a burnt smell. Lin Chen walked out,

looking at the scene before him, feeling a burst of pleasure in his heart—this was the first time he had crushed the Shadow organization so easily,

the power of the purple electric grid far exceeding his expectations.

【Detected host successfully killed the Shadow organization vanguard team, completed hidden mission,

Reward: Absolute Zero primary comprehension scroll ×1, do you want to learn immediately?】 The system notification popped up, and Lin Chen chose "Yes" without hesitation. The scroll turned into a white light, entering his mind, and instantly, his control over Absolute Zero improved quite a bit, the chill in his fingertips becoming thicker, even able to control the shape of ice cones at will.

"Brother Lin Chen, you're too amazing!" A Kai and Xia Nuan ran out from the warehouse,

A Kai looked at the corpses on the ground and said excitedly, "With this electric grid in the future,

we don't have to be afraid of the Shadow organization anymore!" Xia Nuan also nodded with a smile, walked to Lin Chen's side,

and handed him a bottle of water: "Are you okay? The current just now was so scary."

Lin Chen took the water, took a sip, just about to say "I'm fine," when he suddenly froze—just now in the convenience store,

Xia Nuan also handed him water like this, even the posture of handing the water and the words she said were exactly the same.

He frowned, thinking he remembered wrong, and didn't pay much attention.

But just at this moment,

the system notification suddenly popped up a line of strange text: 【Subject 127 status stable, scene simulation normal】, but this line of text only appeared for one second,

and then disappeared, as if it had never appeared. Lin Chen rubbed his eyes, suspecting he had misread it,

and asked the system: "Was there any notification just now?" 【No abnormal notification, host may have visual fatigue, suggest rest】 The system answered very flatly,

and Lin Chen had to suppress the doubts in his heart.

"First clean up here, then start building the safe house." Lin Chen said to the two,

"The Absolute Zero primary comprehension scroll improved my control over the ability, our safety will be more guaranteed in the future."

The three began to clean up the scene, dragging the corpses of the Shadow organization members to the distance to prevent attracting zombies.

A Kai continued to perfect the defense of the purple electric grid according to the blueprint, and Xia Nuan took out supplies from the infinite space to prepare for building a temporary residence.

But they didn't notice that in the shadows on the second floor of the shopping mall, a black shadow was watching them,

the black shadow holding a communicator, saying in a low voice: "Target has activated the purple electric grid,

experiment continues." After speaking, the black shadow disappeared, leaving only the communicator dropped on the ground,

the screen displaying the words "Shadow Organization Headquarters".
