Chapter 98: Rumba City of the Apocalypse Three Star

The information given by the Apocalypse Person to Lin Lei indicated that all recent anomalous events in the Apocalypse Star Region had occurred on the Apocalypse Three Star, radiating outward from Rumba City as the center.

These materials also contained specific images of the Dark Remnants; on the surface, they looked no different from other Apocalypse Person, except that their complexions appeared slightly gloomy.

But after Lin Lei saw those civilians who had been cruelly killed by the Dark Remnants, his impression of this group completely changed; they were simply real demons living in the human world!

They used every cruel means in the world to treat intelligent life, and it seemed not for any purpose, but merely to vent the desire for killing in their hearts.

Rumba City, one of the five major cities of the Apocalypse Three Star, gathered a population of nearly fifty million and was the economic center of the Apocalypse Three Star, but now, while the surface prosperity of the city remained, it faintly revealed an atmosphere of anxiety and unease.

More than a dozen murder cases had occurred continuously in the city, and the cruelty of the murderer’s methods was rare in the world; moreover, this was only on the surface, while in the dark, many people living alone had disappeared inexplicably, and no one knew their whereabouts.

These missing people did not attract too much public attention, but the official statistics of Apocalypse showed that the number of missing people in Rumba City this month actually exceeded ten thousand! This was unimaginable in a Level 8 Civilization.

After a series of investigations, the official side of Apocalypse locked onto some general areas and also sent special combat personnel to carry out arrests, but the situation greatly exceeded the expectations of the Apocalypse Person; all the search personnel likewise went missing, and what they transmitted back was merely some images of the murderers, which was what Lin Lei had just seen.

The Apocalypse officials, terrified, sought help from the Star Alliance, and the Star Alliance also responded to them, sending several groups of warriors, but they likewise lost track.

And Lin Lei was the third batch of personnel sent by the Star Alliance, and he could be considered the ace of the Star Alliance.

As soon as Lin Lei arrived at Rumba City on the Apocalypse Three Star, the detector given to him by Elder Yun had a reaction and accurately displayed the various positions of the Dark Remnants; Lin Lei looked, and the display screen was filled with red dots. It seemed that there were no few Dark Remnants in this city.

Lin Lei prepared to set up a sniper point at the highest place in Rumba City to snipe them one by one; there was no need to entangle with these demons in the city.

The weapons Lin Lei brought this time were: the Semi-Concealed Wave Sniper Cannon, the Holographic Sight, and his Crystallized Mecha.

The Semi-Concealed Wave Sniper Cannon could emit a powerful and concentrated energy attack, and this energy was converted into semi-concealed waves, with the wave peak appearing in four-dimensional space and the wave trough hidden in a certain Subspace; by setting the wavelength of the semi-concealed wave, it could bypass obstacles and directly carry out ultra-long-range strikes.

The Holographic Sight could scan the three-dimensional graphic of the entire Rumba City into the intellectual brain and could see through any object, with an aiming distance reaching 500 kilometers, enough to cover the entire Rumba City.

So Lin Lei calmly arrived at the top of the tallest building in Rumba City, overlooked the whole city, and began his hunting operation.

Following the red dots displayed on the detector, he began to search one by one with the Holographic Sight, and after finding them, he directly opened fire.

Under the attack of the energy density reaching 1000 Energy Levels at the wave peak of the Semi-Concealed Wave Sniper Cannon, these Dark Remnants were evaporated without a sound, going to meet the King of Hell in an unclear manner.

One, two, three… until Lin Lei killed the twentieth one, he encountered a special Dark Remnant; he possessed a very keen intuition for danger; as soon as Lin Lei’s Holographic Sight locked onto him, he could dodge the moment before the attack arrived.

Lin Lei fired two shots, but both shots were successfully dodged by him, and just as Lin Lei locked onto him for the third time, he even glanced back at Lin Lei in the Holographic Sight, then disappeared inexplicably from the sight, and even the detector no longer displayed that red dot.

Lin Lei immediately put away the sniper equipment and pulled out the Energy Binding Blade. He had a premonition that just now, he had been exposed.

He immediately jumped onto the Sky Shuttle parked aside, preparing to rise to an altitude of 10,000 meters to continue sniping.

An inexplicable premonition of danger made him keep the Mecha storage device on his wrist in a semi-activated state, just in case.

Subsequently, Lin Lei restarted his calm sniping on the Sky Shuttle, and fired a few shots before changing places, silently reaping the lives of the Dark Remnants one by one.

The detector displayed that there were three hundred and twenty Dark Remnants in this city, and until now, Lin Lei had killed a full three hundred and fifteen, but there were still five that were different from the others; the Sniper Cannon was powerless against them, their sense of crisis was simply too keen, and they all had unknown methods to hide their figures.

Lin Lei sighed and decided to go to the ground to finish them off at close range.

Just then, a fierce sense of danger suddenly struck his heart; the feeling was so strong that Lin Lei’s first reaction was to jump out from the Sky Shuttle hovering at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

Less than half a second after he ejected from the Sky Shuttle with force, a bizarre molecular resonance wave struck the Sky Shuttle.

The Sky Shuttle was the technology of the Watcher Civilization, and the materials used would certainly not fear the molecular resonance wave, but if Lin Lei, who was inside, did not escape, it would be terrible; his whole body would directly burst into meat paste. Because the Star Alliance’s Sky Shuttle was just a means of transport and did not have much protective function, especially when Lin Lei opened the hatch and lay there to snipe.

Lin Lei jumped out of the Sky Shuttle, but the sense of danger did not decrease; his long-prepared Crystallized Demon Mecha covered his whole body at the first moment, and then he moved at full speed towards the outside of Rumba City.

He still remembered the words of Elder Yun, try not to use the Mecha in the city; the buildings of the Level 8 Civilization Apocalypse could not withstand the torment of the Crystallized Mecha.

If a great battle occurred in the city, the casualties caused might be even more terrifying than the Dark Remnants, and Lin Lei’s so-called mission would become a joke.

Although Rumba City was very large, with an area of over ten thousand square kilometers, at the high speed of the Crystallized Mecha close to 10 times the speed of sound, flying to the suburbs was a matter of minutes.

Upon reaching the suburbs, Lin Lei pressed down the altitude and landed in a forest; he could feel the danger slowly weakening and maintaining at a barely perceptible level.

The attacker might have given up tracking, but Lin Lei had already been targeted; if he entered Rumba City again, what awaited him might be a siege by those five Dark Remnants.

Lin Lei had killed all night, and now the time was already dawn; a fish-belly white had appeared in the western sky; Lin Lei simply took off the Mecha and pondered countermeasures in the forest.

He tried to contact the Sky Shuttle and found that he could actually contact it; that molecular resonance wave had not caused any damage to it, which made Lin Lei breathe a sigh of relief; although this Sky Shuttle had little protection, it was exceptionally powerful for traveling, and he didn’t want it to be destroyed just like that.

At this time, Lin Lei, who had relaxed his mind, finally had the time to observe the environment he was in; this small forest was not big, just an area of less than one square kilometer.

Under the faint morning light, a group of villas could be seen located at the edge of the forest, plus a small lake further away; with such beautiful scenery, it was presumably a residential area for the rich on the Apocalypse Three Star.

Now Lin Lei had no countermeasures; judging by the skills and reactions of those five guys displayed in the Holographic Sight, Lin Lei could be certain that if five people besieged him while he was unarmed, he could not gain an advantage; at most, it would be a draw, and this was without considering the situation where they possessed other attack skills.

And obviously, these Dark Remnants certainly had a killer move; as Elder Yun said, they had a kind of attack on the Will level, which was also the reason why the previous two batches of warriors failed.

Lin Lei walked aimlessly in the forest, recalling the encounter of the night while walking, and thinking about the characteristics of these Dark Remnants; first of all, these guys were divided into two types; those who were very easily killed had expressions on their faces full of violence, just like a person with hyperthyroidism, with bulging eyes covered in bloodshot, and very ferocious expressions; when Lin Lei aimed at them, they were mostly doing evil.

The other type, only five people, were much more peaceful; they were just like the holographic images provided by the Apocalypse official, except that their expressions were a bit gloomier, but it was precisely this kind of Dark Remnant that had a sensitivity close to foreknowledge.

Comparing the two types of Remnants, the former were like rough semi-finished products, tools controlled by the desire to kill. The latter were the real finished products. They seemed to be able to carry out precise tracking based on human aura, so there was no reason they wouldn’t chase Lin Lei to the suburbs.

Could it be that Lin Lei was too fast, and they couldn’t catch up for a while; this was also possible.

There was another problem, that was, Lin Lei found that the System inside his body had become much more silent than before, and had not made a sound for a long time; for example, just now when he was on the Sky Shuttle, facing the attack of the molecular resonance wave, the System did not make a sound, relying entirely on his own reaction; if it were before, this situation would not have occurred.

Under Lin Lei’s questioning, the System only lazily threw him the reply that “In view of the fact that the Host already possesses qualified combat skills, the System has automatically switched to pure monitoring mode,” which meant that in the future, Lin Lei would really have to rely on himself.

Lin Lei thought about it and felt relieved; there was no reason to always depend on this mysterious guy; he should also be independent.

Unknowingly, Lin Lei had already walked to the edge of the forest and came to the side of the villa group; looking at the people bathing in the golden morning light before his eyes, his mood also inexplicably improved.

Inexplicably, the figure of Fuweili floated in Lin Lei’s mind; he didn’t know how she was doing now.

But just at this time, Lin Lei’s expression suddenly became grave; that feeling of danger became strong again; those five guys had indeed caught up, and the distance to him was getting closer and closer.
