Its countless broken windows gaped like hollow eye sockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a steel behemoth lying dormant in the darkness, waiting to devour anyone who drew near.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye halted and retrieved a sealed canister from his tactical pack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He twisted open the lid, and a pungent odor—a mixture of rust, blood, and source energy radiation—assaulted his senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye evenly smeared the viscous black blood inside on his exposed skin and combat uniform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the blood of a LV.15 elite Fusion Monster he had just hunted and killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye had discovered that by exuding this \"kindred\" scent, unique to the Fusion Monsters, he could largely evade creatures that relied on smell and source-energy fluctuations to track their prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a form of camouflage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smell was foul, but the effect was surprisingly good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he was here, Lin Ye’s objective had also changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would infiltrate the hospital, find the LV.20 Giant-Winged Demon, and then begin gathering intelligence on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, Lin Ye was almost certain that a secret organization was active in the heart of the ruined city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he had to avoid any unnecessary fights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye suppressed his presence completely, kept his body low, and slipped silently into the hospital’s wide-open outpatient building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he stepped inside, a thick, cloying stench of decay flooded his nostrils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lobby was a complete mess. The information desk was smashed in half, chairs were overturned, and the floor was covered in a thick layer of dust and rubble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moonlight poured through a hole in the vaulted ceiling, illuminating the countless motes of dust suspended in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Large, dark brown stains covered the lobby walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were long-dried and congealed bloodstains, spreading from the floor all the way to the ceiling, as if a crimson downpour had once washed over everything here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what was most startling were the terrifying claw marks gouged into the walls, some several meters deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each gash was over ten meters long, stretching from one wall to the other. The edges were jagged and rough, as if torn open by claws that could rend anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye’s pupils contracted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t imagine what kind of horrifying creature could leave such incredible marks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the lobby, a dozen or so twisted Fusion Monsters were wandering aimlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These Fusion Monsters retained parts of a human silhouette, but their bodies had undergone terrifying mutations, and their movements were incredibly slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin Ye knew that once they were startled, \"slow\" would be the last word to describe their movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye was lucky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The layer of camouflage he had so carefully applied successfully fooled the monsters’ senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their vision wasn’t sharp in the dark, and his stealth and camouflage completely negated their superior senses of smell and hearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hospital’s structure seemed to be circular.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the shattered glass behind the reception desk, Lin Ye could faintly make out an open space enclosed by the hospital wings—it must be a large courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond the courtyard stood another, even larger building. Judging by its structure, it was most likely the inpatient ward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye’s gaze swept over the signs on both sides of the lobby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The left side led to the various department clinics, while the right side led to the elevators and stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the slightest hesitation, he chose the passage on the right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye’s target wasn’t above ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to his previous analysis, if there really was a secret base hidden in the ruined city, the most likely location would be underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as he crept toward the entrance of the right-hand passage, he was forced to a halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Fusion Monster was blocking his only path forward—just his luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was larger than those wandering the lobby, with bone spurs protruding from its back. A low, guttural sound rumbled in its throat, completely blocking the path ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Looks like there’s no avoiding this one.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye’s eyes instantly turned icy cold, and killing intent surged like a tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If a fight is unavoidable, I’ll end it as quickly as possible!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without warning, Lin Ye erupted into motion like a phantom. The spear in his hand traced a straight black line through the air, silently stabbing toward the back of the Fusion Monster’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SQUELCH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of the spear entering flesh was exceptionally clear in the dead-silent passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fusion Monster’s body stiffened. It didn’t even have time to let out a roar before its life force was instantly drained away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the faint sound still alerted two other monsters wandering nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They whipped their heads around, their empty sockets \"staring\" in Lin Ye’s direction as they let out shrill roars!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye didn’t even look at the first monster’s corpse. With a flick of his wrist, he pulled out the spear, bringing with it a spray of black blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pushing off the balls of his feet, he advanced instead of retreating, charging to meet the two lunging monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His spear struck like a dragon, its cold tip landing squarely between the eyes of the monster on the left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He followed through with a horizontal sweep of the spear’s shaft, which, infused with violent Qi and Blood, slammed into the chest of the monster on the right, caving in its entire upper torso!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire process took no more than two or three breaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had dispatched three elite Fusion Monsters with lightning speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye stood in place, his chest rising and falling slightly, silently waiting for his heartbeat and breathing to return to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, he disappeared into the depths of the passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he had guessed, next to the elevator shaft, he found the stairs leading to the basement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result, however, was somewhat disappointing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stairs only led to the first basement level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire first basement level was empty, just a simple passage connecting to the underground parking garage. The walls were covered in mildew, and there were no traces worth noting.\u003C\u002Fp>",1047,"2026-06-06T10:31:47.882Z",1,"novelbin.me","db9e843cb6a30584c6bcbf83179e0e116c217ca7f19220e6b4385901e8fc96f2","how-do-we-play-if-this-boss-isn-t-nerfed-chapter-110","how-do-we-play-if-this-boss-isn-t-nerfed-chapter-108",250,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhow-do-we-play-if-this-boss-isn-t-nerfed-cover.jpg"]
