“Gunshots?”

Looking at the scattered messages in the channel.

That word was still fresh in his memory. Other than the initial shock they had when they first heard, the others did not pay much attention to the word.

There were only two exceptions. They attached great importance to the word ‘gunshots’.

The word would come out once in a while.

He flipped through a few hundred pages in a row. Ignoring other words, there were always two people persistently asking about the ‘gunshots’.

Soon, he found the source.

About half an hour ago.

Thinking back carefully, it was also the time when he shot the zombie.

[Zhang Liang: Are you kidding me? Someone is shooting from my side. Although it was far, I could hear gunshots!!!]

[Liu Xinyu: Are you hallucinating? There are so many comments on the World Channel. The best weapon right now is only a crossbow and it was from someone who risked his life to get the treasure chest.]

[Zheng Jingze: It’s true. I heard it too. Brother Zhang Liang, where are you? We might be very close.]

[Zhang Liang: I’m beside the forest. There’s no location names around here. I don’t know anything else. What about you?]

[Zheng Jingze: I’m at the graveyard by the river…]

...

“The forest. Down by the river…”

Lin Ye narrowed his eyes.

These few keywords made him even more certain that the gunshots that Zhang Liang and Zheng Jingze heard were from him.

To the east of his position was the forest, and hundreds of meters from his entrance was the sound of rus.h.i.+ng river water.

The other party could hear the gunshots so they should be within a thousand meters.

“I hope we can live in harmony.”

Lin Ye mumbled.

He didn’t know if it was because he had read too many novels in the post-apocalyptic era, but when it came to strangers, he always had persecutory paranoia.

At this moment, the native workers who had gone out to explore the surroundings had returned.

However, there was something wrong with their condition. A few of them were injured and there were even casualties.

“What happened?” Lin Ye frowned.

“My Lord, we found a bronze treasure chest. We wanted to bring it back for you, but we didn’t expect a powerful swift zombie to be hiding there. Its speed and strength were high. The ten of us couldn’t touch it at all, but it easily killed three of our companions,” said a native worker aggrievedly.

“A Swift Zombie.”

Lin Ye tapped his fingers on the wooden table of the bunker. From the native worker’s report, he could deduce that this should be a higher level zombie.

Speed and strength which were above ordinary people.

No wonder. It was like a boss guarding its treasure in a game.

Currently, most of the treasure chests obtained in the world channel were sandalwood. They were all beginner-level.

It was because all the ordinary zombies within two hundred meters had been killed that the bronze treasure chest sp.a.w.ned.

“One more thing, my lord.”

Another native worker raised his head and looked at him. After receiving Lin Ye’s approval, he spoke in a low voice, “Originally, we didn’t alert the Swift Zombie and had a high chance of stealing the treasure chest, but something happened midway. Another lord appeared. He threw a stone at us, causing the Swift Zombie to hear the sound and attack us.”

“Other lords, you mean humans like me?” Lin Ye’s voice suddenly became louder.

“Yes, my lord. Your soul aura is completely different from ours. I can tell at a glance,” the native worker replied firmly.

“How dare they! Taking advantage of me and stealing my treasure chest!” Lin Ye felt uncomfortable.

He could imagine that the other party was most likely able to get out of his graveyard only because he had killed the surrounding zombies.

Yet, not only did the other party not thank him, he even repaid his kindness with ingrat.i.tude. This was unacceptable.

“Can you still recognize him now?” Lin Ye stood up and said coldly.

“I can. Even if I turn to ash, I will still be able to.”

The native worker nodded profusely. They were also living beings with blood and flesh. They were also furious that their companions were killed.

Seeing that their lord had the intention to avenge them, their eyes lit up with excitement.

“Other than those who are building the barracks, everyone else, bring your weapons. Your lord shall avenge you!”

Lin Ye took out his Desert Eagle. He still had 43 bullets left.

Whether it was the Swift Zombie or that human trash, the bullets he had were more than enough.

“Long live our lord!” The group of native workers shouted in unison.

“Lead the way,” Lin Ye said.

With that, more than two hundred people left the graveyard in a formidable array.

Although the fighting power of the native workers was low and three of them might not be able to defeat a zombie, they still looked strong and imposing as a group.

Lin Ye walked among the figures with confidence.

A few minutes later, they arrived at the bronze treasure chest.

Apart from the three native worker corpses on the ground, there was also a tall and st.u.r.dy zombie.

As expected, this zombie was the strongest in this area—the Swift Zombie.

At this moment, it was bending its back and madly biting on a young man.

“Save… Save me!”

That person was still alive. His bloodshot eyes looked towards Lin Ye, as if he had seen a ray of hope. He shouted hoa.r.s.ely.

However, very quickly, a huge mouth bit down on his neck, killing him within seconds.

“My lord, it’s him!” A native worker behind him said.

“I saw.” Lin Ye nodded.

A bronze treasure chest fell at the young man’s feet.

Obviously, after plotting against the native workers, he wanted to steal the bronze treasure chest.

Unexpectedly, the Swift Zombie gave up on chasing the native workers and instead killed him.

“Roar–”

At this moment, the powerful zombie turned around and stared at Lin Ye with its ferocious face. It roared and charged forward without fear of the native workers.

“My lord…”

Worker One was a little scared and reminded, “The Swift Zombie is already considered a level 2 zombie. It’s very contagious. If you’re scratched by him, you might be infected with corpse poison.”

“Move away!”

Lin Ye was fearless. After killing dozens of zombies, he was full of confidence.

He raised the Desert Eagle and aimed at the Swift Zombie’s forehead.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

He fired three consecutive shots.

-70hp!

“What fast speed!”

Lin Ye secretly smacked his lips. His marksmans.h.i.+p was not considered good.

But at such a close distance, two out of the three shots should not have missed even if they weren’t headshots.

“Roar!”

The Swift Zombie was extremely ferocious. After being shot, it merely shook its body and stomped on the ground before pouncing over. A native worker in the front row couldn’t dodge in time and was instantly pushed down onto the ground.

Gasp!

The sharp teeth bit into his neck.

“b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”

Lin Ye was furious that he killed his native worker in front of him. He fired another four shots despite his hands which were numb from the recoil.

This time, because he had a native worker as a distraction, the hit rate increased greatly and directly exploded the Swift Zombie’s head.

Although he had killed this extremely ferocious zombie, Lin Ye still felt a slight sense of defeat.

He was too useless. Someone still died even though he had a gun.

“Zombie corpses will be converted in the graveyard. As for the other corpses, they will be cremated. I believe that even if they die, they won’t want to be transformed in zombies.”

Lin Ye waved his hand despondently. While Worker One and the others were dealing with the corpses, he walked straight to the bronze treasure chest.

The death of this native worker was a reminder for him.

If his martial power was weak, he would have to use treasures to make up for it.

As long as he could keep crus.h.i.+ng the zombies at his current stage, he could definitely greatly reduce the losses from his fights.

To obtain something so buggy like 100xReward from the system, he wanted more than to just survive. He wanted to achieve a perfect victory!!

His fingers touched the treasure chest and it opened.
