Chapter 139: Chapter 138: Continuous Leveling Up! Continuous Loot Drops
Red Leaf Base.
Lu Feng led Lin Jiao and her group to the rooftop of the main building. In the *Rampage of the Berserk Zombies* origin anime, Lin Nan was hanged to death in this very building. But now, Lin Nan was already at Qingfeng Base, having survived.
This could be considered a change to some of the game’s story background.
Looking out from the rooftop, the dense horde of zombies was still enough to make one’s skin crawl.
There were so many that it would trigger anyone’s trypophobia.
"Boss, how are we going to deal with all these zombies?" Lin Jiao asked.
The survivors they had brought with them also looked toward Lu Feng.
"Just wait here!" Lu Feng said, then vanished right in front of Lin Jiao.
The next moment, he reappeared in the real-world warehouse. He picked up two gas canisters, and with a single thought, re-entered the game.
When Lin Jiao and the people from Qingfeng Base saw Lu Feng appear holding two gas canisters, they were more curious than shocked.
After all, some of them knew how powerful these canisters were.
Lin Jiao, especially, was the one who knew best just how powerful these canisters could be.
But soon, they had no choice but to be astonished.
Lin Jiao and the others watched as their boss vanished again, only to reappear with two more canisters.
He vanished again, reappeared again, and brought out two more canisters!
Vanish, reappear...
As he repeated this, more and more gas canisters piled up on the rooftop.
Lin Jiao and the others were finally, truly shocked.
The people from Qingfeng Base were reminded of a rumor.
It was said that their boss possessed a special ability—a personal space. He was a Spatial Ability User, and this space could hold an incredible number of items.
Just like the canisters before them; they couldn’t have appeared out of thin air. They had to have come from that space.
It was as if their boss’s abilities were free; he was always revealing some new, shocking power.
"Boss, wait a minute!" Lin Jiao hurriedly shouted the next time Lu Feng appeared.
"What is it?" Lu Feng asked.
Lin Jiao quickly replied, "Boss, this rooftop is pretty high. It’ll be a pain to move all this stuff downstairs."
She had, of course, guessed her boss’s objective. After all, she had seen him use these canisters to blow up both zombies and people, and the scene had been truly terrifying.
Hearing Lin Jiao’s words, Lu Feng glanced at the gas canisters already on the rooftop and could only awkwardly order the people from Qingfeng Base, "Move all of these downstairs."
After speaking, he nonchalantly headed downstairs as if nothing had happened.
Lin Jiao had no choice but to lead her people in carrying the gas canisters down to the first floor.
Once Lu Feng reached the first floor, he exited the game again and started moving the gas canisters. It took him some time, but he managed to bring all 200-plus canisters into the game world.
Seeing so many gas canisters all at once, Lin Jiao felt a sense of dread.
’If all of these explode, just how powerful will that be?’
Just then, Lu Feng gave an order: "Lin Jiao, take some people and place these all around the perimeter of Red Leaf Base."
"Understood." Lin Jiao nodded, gestured to the people from Qingfeng Base, and began placing the gas canisters around Red Leaf Base.
Lu Feng had already marked the modified gas canisters. He was using his old trick: one modified canister paired with several unmodified ones.
When a modified canister exploded, the force of the blast would cause the unmodified ones to detonate as well.
Moreover, given how the gas canisters were positioned, the detonation of one would set off a chain reaction, causing the rest to explode one after another, madly reaping the lives of the zombies.
Once the gas canisters were in position, Lu Feng took the Mecha from his inventory space and equipped it, then went to the main entrance of the building.
The entrance had been breached before and then blown up by Lin Jiao’s team, leaving it blocked by a pile of rubble.
Arriving at the entrance, Lu Feng controlled the Mecha to extend two laser cannons from its shoulders and locked onto the pile of rubble.
The next instant, the two laser cannons fired, striking the rubble. The pile was blasted apart almost instantaneously, shattering into countless scattered fragments.
The entrance to the building was clear once more.
The commotion also attracted the dense horde of zombies outside, which began to flood through the entrance.
At that moment, Lu Feng walked back into Red Leaf Base and pulled a megaphone and a speaker from his inventory space.
A moment later, a loud song blasted from the speaker:
"You are my little, little apple; I can never love you enough..."
The song was dynamic and had a very catchy rhythm.
Lin Jiao and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.
For some reason, upon hearing the song, their bodies felt an uncontrollable urge to move along with the beat.
It was as if the song was possessed.
As the song began, amplified by the megaphone, it instantly echoed throughout Red Leaf Base, completely drawing the attention of the dense zombie horde outside.
Countless zombies flooded into Red Leaf Base, the sound of their dense footsteps thundering as they searched for the source of the music.
Lu Feng, carrying the speaker and megaphone, had already led his people to the rooftop of a central building. At the same time, he blasted the entrance, piling up debris to block it so the zombies couldn’t get in.
When Lu Feng reached the rooftop and looked down again, he saw that more and more zombies were now inside Red Leaf Base.
A dense, churning mass of zombies was swarming around the base of his building in particular, and their numbers were growing.
But the zombies couldn’t get into the building at all and could only roar from outside.
As time went on, the number of zombies pouring into Red Leaf Base grew until they were packed shoulder to shoulder.
Suddenly, two piercing roars cut through the air. Two incredibly fast zombies charged to the base of the building and then actually started running up the wall.
These were two Speed-type mutant zombies, and they were charging straight for the rooftop.
But they were met with several laser beams. With nowhere to dodge on the wall, their heads were pierced, and they fell back to the ground.
Lu Feng watched this scene coldly, but to his surprise, a ball of light floated up from one of the Speed-type zombies.
It had dropped loot.
Wearing the Mecha, Lu Feng’s vision was enhanced with auxiliary functions. In a short time, he locked onto three particularly bloated zombies.
They were Tank-type mutant zombies.
However, with the firing of three laser beams, these three Tank-type mutant zombies also died under the Mecha’s firepower. Then, another white light floated up.
One of the Tank-type zombies had dropped loot, too.
At that moment, it was about time. Red Leaf Base was packed full of zombies; if this continued, no more could even squeeze in.
The gas canisters were completely covered by the horde.
So, Lu Feng raised his hand. A laser shot out from the Mecha’s arm, striking one of the gas canisters. Instantly, an explosion rang out.
The nearby zombies were like rotten tofu, their bodies instantly torn apart by the shockwave as blood flew everywhere.
And with that first blast, a series of explosions erupted like a string of firecrackers. Fireballs from the detonating gas canisters bloomed madly across Red Leaf Base.
At the same time, a series of notifications sounded in Lu Feng’s mind:
[Congratulations! You have killed a zombie and received 5 EXP!]
[Congratulations! You have killed a zombie and received 10 EXP!]
...
[Congratulations! You have killed a zombie and received 200 EXP!]
[Congratulations! You have killed a zombie and received 10 EXP!]
...
[Congratulations! You have leveled up!]
The moment Lu Feng received this notification, he immediately felt a new power emerge within him. That strange, cool sensation appeared once again.
He also noticed something else: the EXP from many of the zombies had actually increased.
Originally, killing a zombie was only worth 5 EXP.
Now, many of them were worth 10 EXP.
This reminded him of something: in the game, zombies would level up. A normal zombie at the start of the game was nowhere near as strong as a normal zombie in the later stages.
In other words, the strength of these zombies was starting to increase across the board.
This was definitely not a good thing.
[Congratulations! You have killed a zombie and received 5 EXP!]
[Congratulations! You have killed a zombie and received 10 EXP!]
...
[Congratulations! You have killed a mutant zombie and received 300 EXP!]
...
[Congratulations! You have killed a zombie and received 10 EXP!]
[Congratulations! You have leveled up!]
The feeling of leveling up appeared once more—a truly wonderful sensation.
By now, Red Leaf Base had been reduced to little more than a field of ruins by the explosion of over 200 gas canisters.
And amidst those ruins lay a dense carpet of zombie corpses.
Moreover, Lu Feng could see at a glance that balls of light were floating in several spots—clearly the remains of mutant zombies. All of them had dropped loot.
