Chapter 104: Qualitative Change Talent

On the highway, the originally speeding bus and truck suddenly veered.

"Go to the original second target point, Wal-Mart Mall!"

The middle-aged driver Huang Teng nodded in bewildered surprise; before the Apocalypse he was a school driver, and his driving skills were quite good.

Although I don't know why Lord Lin An suddenly changed his mind, instead of going to the nearest safe mall, he wants to go to the one occupied by mutants.

But since the lord has spoken, he will obey.

In the car, after Lin An received Gao Tian's definite answer, his eyes showed some anticipation.

If his guess is correct, Gao Tian's observational weakness is cyclical and progressive, which actually means continuously scanning target information with mental power.

Finding the Deadly Point takes 18 seconds, likely because the preparation time is too long.

According to Gao Tian's own description, after he locks onto a target, the weakness gradually appears, and the display is exactly the same as the Judgment Eye.

This means Lin An can completely activate the Judgment Eye first, then instantly report all weaknesses to him, saving the preceding 9 seconds of observation time!

In that case, Gao Tian's skill could very well skip the 9-second preparation and directly seek the Deadly Point!

Find the Deadly Point in 9 seconds!

It's practically a qualitative change!

After Lin An shared his idea with Gao Tian, the latter instantly became overjoyed.

Although I don't know if a huge power gap would greatly increase the time to find the Deadly Point, even just triggering the wound effect early is already powerful enough!

Gao Tian involuntarily began to simulate combat.

If it really works as Lin An imagined, just instantly using the skill to trigger the wound effect is already monstrous!

Every normal attack can inflict serious injury on the enemy!

What's the difference between this and using a hacked Barrett sniper rifle in CrossFire?

Gao Tian's current attack speed is about two seconds to charge an arrow, while originally locking onto a serious injury required nine seconds for a 300% extra damage bonus.

Now it's equivalent to no need for nine seconds—directly a 300% damage every two seconds, which is like a cannon with rapid fire!

Overjoyed beyond words, all that's left is to find a mutant to test it on!

If the Deadly Point could, as imagined, greatly reduce aiming time...

The two exchanged a glance, and Gao Tian's breathing became somewhat hurried.

Suppressing his excitement, he couldn't help but glance at the fleeting scenery outside the window, his whole body trembling, eyes full of anticipation.

The suburbs of Linjiang City are not prosperous; the large Wal-Mart Mall supplying the surrounding suburbs is somewhat like a European-American style shopping center with parking.

The top floor of the seven-story mega-mart, the blue Wal-Mart sign is somewhat corroded and aged.

After the Apocalypse, the gradually increasing spiritual energy in the air has a corrosive-like effect, and humanity's creations seem to have time sped up for them.

Not far from the mall, a four-story office building has a silhouette flashing past its window.

"Brother Wang, it looks like someone's coming."

Inside the fourth-floor office, a middle-aged man in somewhat dirty old clothes heard the voice, took a few steps to the window, and cautiously poked his head out to look at the road.

The room contains nine people total, six men and three women.

A woman in revealing clothing, who had deliberately lowered her collar, saw Wang Teng and the others constantly glancing out the window; she hurriedly fixed her tangled hair and walked a few steps to the man in the suit.

"Brother Wang~"

The woman, full of flirtatious intent, flung her arms around Wang Teng's arm, her chest heaving against him.

"Don't make a fuss, there are a lot of people outside. Save the flirting for tonight!"

Wang Teng impatiently pushed the woman away; after nearly ten days without a shower, even the most fragrant woman has a strange smell.

Waves of foul odor rose from the woman's lower body, making him feel somewhat nauseous.

A flicker of resentment crossed the woman's face, and her embarrassment flashed by.

She was originally a department manager at Wal-Mart, while the Wang Teng before her was merely an inconspicuous salesman under her.

She earned a million a year, had a car and a house, and was in the prime of her affluent femininity.

Before the Apocalypse, she was quite attractive and single, and had many admirers; Wang Teng even wanted to pursue her, hoping to "rise in one step."

He would ask about her well‑being; usually when he saw her, he would nod and bow like a sycophant.

But after the Apocalypse broke out, Wang Teng fortunately became an Awakened One and, overnight, turned into the boss of the mall's survivors.

"You damn man, are you just going to ignore me now that you're tired of me?"

"The first time you forced me to sleep, you even licked my feet!"

The woman clenched her fists silently, forcing a smile.

The situation is dire; as the sole Awakened One, Wang Teng is the hope for everyone's survival in the place.

Perhaps her status still gives Wang Teng a hint of pleasure in humiliating her, so she only tries to please him.

But the other two young women in the room aren't so lucky.

"Brother Wang, what should we do?"

Not far from the mall's entrance road, Lin An and the others have already gotten out of the car.

The bespectacled shirt‑wearing man flatteringly asked him, his wristwatch valuable.

Wang Teng coldly glanced at his former direct superior.

"What should we do?"

"First see what they want to do; if they're trying to steal from the mall, that monster spider inside isn't a vegetarian."

"There are quite a few of them; maybe they can draw the monster's attention for a while, then we can sneak in later to grab some food."

Wang Teng snorted coldly; these past few days he's also run into scattered survivors trying to enter the mall for food.

Especially earlier, a group of student‑like Awakened Ones came by, but were scared off by that spider.

As a former employee of the mall, he had long regarded the whole place as his own.

Anyone who tries to find food is, in his eyes, a thief!

"What Brother Wang says, Brother Wang says."

The gold‑rimmed glasses man wore an apologetic smile all over his face, looking with some pity at those who had just stepped out of the car, preparing to face the scattered zombies, Lin An and company.

Hope you can escape from the monster's maw...
