I hacked through the chaotic world with my blade-Chapter 1427 - 343: This Is Your Test for Me, and My Intimidation for You
Lin Fan said, "If you can tell me the location of the ’King,’ I’ll call you ’Hammer.’
"...?" The Master of Deception smiled helplessly, "You’re just no fun."
"How so? I think it’s pretty good this way."
Lin Fan knew that the other party would never tell him the location of the ’King,’ but asking wouldn’t affect the subsequent development.
Rumble!
Rumble!
A violent tremor erupted; the earth shook as if the entire city was vibrating.
"Is that your plan?"
Lin Fan wasn’t affected by the commotion outside. Having weathered countless storms, he was used to any situation. He knew better than anyone what this rumbling represented.
The Master of Deception spread his hands and said, "I’m sorry to put you in this situation. It’s not my idea, but my ’King’ wants to know about you because the ’King’ doesn’t know much about you."
"If your King wishes to understand me, then I hope he can do it face-to-face. That’s a more straightforward understanding, rather than using such methods." Lin Fan wished for the ’King’ to appear, but he knew it was impossible, so he just said it casually.
The Master of Deception laughed, "Let me watch later, alright?"
"Sure."
Lin Fan didn’t refuse. Given the current situation, the other party was undoubtedly curious about his strength. Since that was the case, fulfilling the request wasn’t an excessive thing.
He also wanted the other party to clearly understand his strength.
By demonstrating tremendous power, he could deter them, preventing any inappropriate thoughts.
If they thought humans were vulnerable and easy to bully, it would cause even more trouble. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Lin Fan got up and left the table; the glass of red wine he left on the table indicated the conversation had been pleasant, but all pleasures were fleeting.
"Really looking forward to seeing just how formidable you, the strongest human, are," said the Master of Deception, following behind.
Lin Fan calmly said, "You’ll see."
The Master of Deception, hearing these words, gazed at Lin Fan’s back. The other person was really filled with a kind of inexplicable confidence.
Outside.
A safe zone had formed with the tavern at its center—zombies around seemed held back by a draw-line, unable to advance, each watching the tavern with predatory, menacing gazes.
On the surrounding building rooftops also stood many lanky, pale Fusion Zombies.
They were the elite fighters among zombies, their strength extraordinary. Any single Fusion Zombie could easily wipe out a shelter, and now with so many present, the pressure they exerted was immense, comprehensible only to survivors who had faced such oppression.
Not only were there Fusion Zombies, but also various other high-level zombies, completely surrounding the tavern.
Even a keen search would reveal figures reminiscent of Creators atop other buildings—though not perfect, they were undoubtedly Creators.
Each Creator held formidable power that shouldn’t be underestimated.
In the past, a Creator would be the strongest ruler in any city. Even Wang Zixuan, who often proclaimed himself the Zombie Emperor, would feel a shiver and discomfort if he saw a Creator appear in his domain.
Ring!
The tavern door was pushed open.
Lin Fan walked out, casually surveying the surroundings. Seeing countless zombies encircling them, he couldn’t help but glance back at the Master of Deception who followed him out, jokingly asking.
"Quite the grand setup, huh?"
"Not bad, indeed. The King has merged all surrounding zombies together. Did you notice when we arrived in this city?"
"I sensed it, but sensing is different from seeing. The visual impact is still strong. It’s been a while since I’ve experienced such a scene."
Lin Fan laughed with ease, naturally.
Showing no trace of nerves.
After all, he’d seen all kinds of situations before. If even this, frightened him, he’d have wasted his time surviving till now.
...
Meanwhile.
In an indoor arcade.
Some arcade owners had prepared for sudden power outages by purchasing generators, and the one this shop owner bought ran on diesel but also had a manual pedal setup.
Having grown over time, the King now resembled a child of eleven or twelve. He sat before a ’97 fighting game machine, manipulating the joystick, buttons clicking furiously. Being able to play a game amid a blackout was thanks to the Fusion Zombie inside.
The Fusion Zombie didn’t know what pedaling this gadget achieved, but under the King’s command, it didn’t question and pedaled obediently.
Looking up, the walls around were inlaid with pulsing fleshy frames, the insides interwoven with threadlike strands resembling nerves, presenting the events happening in that distant city perfectly.
"Kill him, kill him."
Ogamoto Reiyi clenched his fists. It was unclear if he was cheering for the King or egging on the zombies surrounding Lin Fan to take his head off.
Even though he knew it might be somewhat unrealistic.
