Chapter 89: Open fire

The sound of the villa window and the roar outside made the three of them instantly alert. Lin Chen stood up,

walked to the window, carefully opened a crack, and looked out—there were over a dozen Giant Ice-Armored Zombies standing in the snow,

each three meters tall, covered in thick ice shells, roaring in the direction of the villa,

their claws constantly scratching the ground, snow splattering everywhere.

"It's the Giant Ice-Armored Zombies, over a dozen of them." Lin Chen turned back to Xia Nuan and A Kai,

while reaching into the Infinite Space to take out the Purple Lightning Purification Gun, "A Kai, go to the garage and move the Gatling gun out,

Xia Nuan, you're responsible for sniping, aim for the zombies' eyes, that's their weak point."

Xia Nuan and A Kai acted immediately. A Kai ran to the garage, quickly returned carrying the Gatling gun,

found a position by the window to set it up, checked the ammunition belt, and nodded at Lin Chen.

Xia Nuan took out her sniper rifle, walked to the second-floor window, turned on the scope, and aimed at the lead Giant Ice-Armored Zombie.

"Open fire!" Lin Chen gave the order and was the first to pull the trigger of the Purple Lightning Purification Gun. A pale purple current surged out, hitting the lead zombie in the chest,

the ice shell instantly melting, revealing the flesh and blood inside. The zombie let out a painful roar and charged toward the villa. Xia Nuan seized the opportunity, pulled the sniper rifle trigger,

the bullet accurately hitting the zombie's eye, and the zombie's body stiffened, falling into the snow and quickly freezing into an ice sculpture.

A Kai's Gatling gun also began to spit fire, bullets densely hitting the zombie group.

Several zombies' ice shells were shattered, but they didn't fall, instead charging over even more violently.

Seeing this, Lin Chen mobilized his Absolute Zero ability, condensed ice spikes in his palm, and shot them at the lead zombie. The ice spikes pierced the zombie's skull, and the zombie fell to the ground.

The three of them cooperated tacitly; Lin Chen used the Purple Lightning Purification Gun to destroy the zombies' ice shells, Xia Nuan used the sniper rifle to attack their weak points, and A Kai used the Gatling gun to suppress their firepower.

Although the dozen Giant Ice-Armored Zombies were fierce, they fell one by one under the three's attacks, and soon only the last one remained. This zombie was exceptionally strong,

its ice shell twice as thick as the others, and bullets only left shallow marks on it.

"Xia Nuan, aim for its mouth, there's no ice shell protection there." Lin Chen shouted, firing continuously at the zombie's chest, the current constantly hitting the ice shell,

slowly melting a small hole. Xia Nuan immediately adjusted the scope, aimed at the zombie's open mouth,

and pulled the trigger. The bullet pierced the zombie's throat, the zombie let out a shrill roar, its massive body swayed, and it fell heavily to the ground.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief and put down their weapons. A Kai wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "These zombies are getting harder and harder to deal with; we almost got overrun just now." Xia Nuan nodded and put away the sniper rifle: "I wonder if these zombies were brought by He Shao, specifically targeting us."

Lin Chen walked to the center of the living room and asked the system: "System,

were the Giant Ice-Armored Zombies just now controlled by He Shao? Where is he now?" 【Detected control chips inside the Giant Ice-Armored Zombies, presumed to be controlled by He Shao; He Shao's current location still cannot be pinpointed, but strong energy fluctuations have been detected in the direction of the abandoned factory in the west of the city, suspected to be rebuilding the console】 the system replied.

"It seems he hasn't given up and is still trying to find a way to start the freezing program." Lin Chen frowned,

"We must find him as soon as possible and can't give him another chance." Xia Nuan walked to Lin Chen's side and said: "Let's leave now, while we've just finished off the zombies,

and there's no other danger outside for the moment." A Kai also nodded: "I have no problem, there's still plenty of ammunition for the Gatling gun, enough to handle the situation on the road."

The three of them packed up simply, brought enough weapons and supplies, locked the villa door,

and got into the armored vehicle. Lin Chen drove, Xia Nuan sat in the passenger seat, and A Kai sat in the back seat,

holding the Gatling gun, watching outside the window vigilantly. The armored vehicle slowly drove away from the villa, heading toward the abandoned factory in the west of the city.

The snow on the road grew thicker, the sound of the tires pressing into the snow exceptionally clear.

Occasionally, a few ordinary zombies could be seen lying by the roadside, already frozen solid. After driving for about half an hour,

Xia Nuan suddenly pointed ahead and said: "Look, there's fire ahead." Lin Chen looked in the direction she was pointing, and saw a fire in the distant snow, as if someone was building a fire there.

"Be careful, it could be other survivors, or it could be He Shao's people." Lin Chen slowed down and approached the fire slowly. When they were a few dozen meters away from the fire,

they saw a person sitting by the fire, wearing a tattered anti-extreme cold jacket, bowing his head to warm himself by the fire, a machete placed beside him.

Lin Chen parked the car, opened the door, and got out, Xia Nuan and A Kai following,

gripping their weapons tightly. The person heard the commotion, looked up—it was a young man in his twenties, his face full of fatigue, and seeing Lin Chen and the others,

a flash of vigilance crossed his eyes, which then relaxed, and he said: "Are you survivors too? My name is Wang Hao, I've been hiding here for three days and haven't dared to go out."

"We're from the Dawn Squad, and we're going to the abandoned factory in the west of the city." Lin Chen said, "Do you know the situation there? Have you seen many people in black uniforms recently?

" Wang Hao nodded, his face turning serious: "I saw them yesterday; many people in black uniforms went to the abandoned factory, and they even brought a lot of equipment, I don't know what they were doing."

Lin Chen's heart tightened; it seemed He Shao really was rebuilding the console. He looked at Wang Hao and asked: "Do you want to come with us? It's too dangerous to be here alone.

" Wang Hao's eyes lit up, and he stood up immediately: "Really? I can help you move things, and I can repair simple machines, I won't cause you any trouble."

"Okay, but you have to follow our commands." Lin Chen said. Wang Hao nodded repeatedly,

packed his things, and followed Lin Chen and the others into the armored vehicle. The armored vehicle continued to drive forward,

Wang Hao sat in the back seat and took the initiative to talk about his experience: "I was at a small survivor base before,

but later the base was breached by zombies, so I escaped and have been hiding everywhere, until I saw those people in black uniforms yesterday, and didn't dare to go any further."

Xia Nuan handed Wang Hao a bottle of water: "Drink some water first; when we get to the abandoned factory,

there might be a tough battle to fight." Wang Hao took the water and said gratefully: "Thank you,

I'll do my best to help." A Kai patted Wang Hao on the shoulder: "Don't worry, with us here, you won't get into any trouble."

After driving for another half hour, the abandoned factory in the west of the city appeared before them. The factory gate was closed,

and over a dozen experimental guardians in black uniforms were standing around, holding guns,

patrolling. Faint lights could be seen inside the factory, as well as the sound of machinery running. Lin Chen parked the car,

and said to everyone: "The abandoned factory is ahead; Wang Hao, you stay in the car and be responsible for watching the car, the three of us will go in."

Wang Hao nodded: "Okay, you guys be careful." Lin Chen, Xia Nuan, and A Kai pushed open the car doors,

and approached the factory quietly. A Kai aimed the Gatling gun at the patrolling experimental guardians, while Lin Chen and Xia Nuan circled to the side, preparing to climb over the wall.

Just as they were about to approach the wall, the factory gate suddenly opened, and over a dozen trucks drove out, each truck loaded with huge equipment, driving in different directions. ===== CHAPTER 90 =====
