CHAPTER 610: CHAPTER 4: APPEAL FOR HELP

The blade aura came slashing head-on, and the corpse immediately controlled the elite infected to block it.

The elite infected stepped forward with its front claws, standing upright, just in time to shield the corpse on its back.

The pale blue blade aura slashed at the elite infected’s chest, splattering black-red blood, and the elite let out a tragic scream.

This left the corpse momentarily stunned, then overjoyed, for the mutated corpse was supposed to have no sense of pain or intelligence, but this elite infected not only showed a defiant emotion but also felt pain, an extremely rare occurrence.

However, the corpse had no time to dwell on this; he was eager to know what was happening on the rooftop since the infected he created had died over eight-tenths in an instant.

As the corpse was full of doubts, hesitating whether to go to the rooftop to find out, Su Xiao was already standing at the edge of the rooftop with Dragon Slash in hand.

"Close combat?"

The corpse was visibly confused, but seeing Su Xiao, he suddenly recalled something his boss once said: ’If you encounter a Lone Ranger, especially one without weaknesses, and they attack you without reason, contact me immediately.’

After contemplating for a moment, the corpse controlled the elite infected to retreat.

Noticing the corpse’s attempt to escape, Su Xiao leaped off the rooftop, and while in mid-air, slashed several times towards the corpse’s direction, sending a few pale blue blade auras flying over.

The corpse controlled the elite infected to dodge left and right, and the blade auras slashed onto the road, leaving deep cuts.

After dodging three blade auras, two crossed ones came slashing towards the corpse.

Just as the corpse was about to control the elite infected to evade, the elite froze, with blood marks appearing on its neck.

A sharp metal line had pierced into the elite’s neck; it was the Boundary Line set by Su Xiao.

Just as the elite’s form stopped, Su Xiao had landed.

His feet landed on the asphalt road, creating cracks on the surface, and upon landing, he used ’Shave’.

With a swoosh, in less than a second, Su Xiao appeared in front of the corpse.

Just as the long knife was about to slash down, Su Xiao stepped back, leaving a footprint on the ground as he distanced himself from the corpse.

A yellow smoke spread from the corpse’s body, and when Su Xiao’s left arm touched the smoke, it stuck to him, eroding his clothes into countless holes, and his skin burned as if scorched by sulfuric acid. Fortunately, his physical attributes were high enough that the smoke couldn’t burn through his skin immediately.

[You are being eroded by high-concentration mutated corpse virus, physical attribute check in progress...]

[Check passed, mutation exempted, you will receive 30 points of viral damage per second, lasting for 1 minute.]

Si Si~

Smoke wafted from Su Xiao’s left arm, bringing excruciating pain.

Just as the mutated corpse virus was about to continue eroding his left arm, Blue Steel Shadow energy surged out, eradicating the virus in an instant.

Violators are usually difficult to deal with, and if not for instantly sniping one, the situation would have been more thorny.

"Buddy, no grudges or grievances, isn’t this a bit too much?"

Smoke rose from the corpse’s body, with sizzles of corrosion from the ground around him.

A large group of infected swarmed nearby, these were civilians infected by the corpse virus who came to check out the commotion.

"..."

Su Xiao silently watched the corpse, moved his left arm, and after confirming there was no problem, he charged towards the corpse.

The corpse’s expression turned grim, as the enemy showed no intention of negotiation, wielding the blade to attack without a word.

"Boss, if you don’t come soon, it’ll be time to collect my body."

The corpse repeatedly sent appeals for help in the team channel, the other two violators responded, but the Gentleman’s Alliance boss hadn’t replied.

The other two violators were rushing over at full speed, but unfortunately, they were too far away.

On the battlefield, numerous infected lunged at Su Xiao.

In a flash of blades, accompanied by the sound of limbs being severed, a large group of infected were sliced apart; faced with these infected, Su Xiao, adept at close combat, was like chopping vegetables.

Su Xiao kicked away an incoming infected, slashing blade aura through the gaps of several infected, the whistling aura flew towards the corpse.

The corpse immediately controlled the elite infected to dodge, but their speed was slightly slow.

The blade aura easily severed one of the corpse’s arms, causing his cheek to twitch; if he hadn’t dodged in time, his head would have been chopped off.

The corpse’s close combat ability was pitifully weak, belonging to the summoner type of profession, and as long as there were living creatures around, there would be a constant supply of cannon fodder.

If it weren’t for his boss’s order to not cause too much commotion, the first thing he would have done upon entering the Derivative World was to create a massive amount of cannon fodder.

A large group of infected fell, these infected weren’t considered killed by Su Xiao because there weren’t any kill prompts when they were slaughtered.

From the moment these civilians were infected, they were already dead; it was the virus in their bodies that drove them to act.

The corpse wanted to use the infected for cover to retreat, but Su Xiao immediately slashed out a blade aura, restraining him.

The corpse repeatedly attempted to escape, but was blocked each time by the blade aura or the elusive Boundary Line.

Twenty seconds later, the second batch of infected was slaughtered.

Su Xiao flicked his long knife, flinging away the filthy blood on the blade; he had sustained a few claw marks during the battle with the numerous infected.

Just after slaughtering the second batch of infected, the corpse had prepared a third, but he knew these ordinary infected couldn’t stop Su Xiao.

The corpse’s expression turned fierce; he had the chance to escape but dared not, the severed arm and knife marks constantly reminding him of the price he’d pay if he dared turn his back on the enemy, especially with an unnoticeable metal thread nearby that nearly severed his head several times.

In less than half a minute, over seventy percent of the third batch of infected were dead or wounded, and it seemed it wouldn’t take Su Xiao more than 10 seconds to break through.

The corpse clearly knew, should this Swordsman get close, he wouldn’t even have a chance to plead for mercy.

In such a desperate situation, the corpse was enraged, pressing his hand against his chest with a painful expression.

Just as he was about to go all out, a message pinged in the Gentleman’s Alliance team channel.

Red Clown: "Corpse, what are the enemy’s features."

Seeing this message, the corpse retracted his impending ability and quickly replied in the team channel.

"Male, around 20 years old, weapon is a sword plus a sniper rifle, extremely strong close combat ability. Boss, save me, No. 5 is dead, so no one can stop him, I can’t exert my power, should I activate the coordinates now?"

The corpse let out a long sigh, as if Red Clown’s words had swept away the pressure from Su Xiao.

Red Clown: "What’s the reason for the hostility?"

Corpse: "No reason, this guy didn’t say a word and sniped No. 5 in one shot, then started chasing me."

Demoness: "Corpse, have you jerked off too much? Why would the other party chase you relentlessly for no reason?"

Corpse: "Stop with the sarcastic remarks, this guy’s a lunatic, didn’t say a word, attacked right away, absolutely no room for negotiation!"

Red Clown: "Everyone shut up, Corpse, hold on for 2 minutes, I’m on my way."

Corpse: "Thank you, Boss."

Demoness: "Tch, wasting the boss’s chance to teleport."

Closing the team channel, the pressure weighed on the corpse’s heart was swept away, but at this moment, a long knife appeared right in front of him.

The corpse’s expression was bewildered; two seconds ago, there were still hundreds of infected surrounding the enemy, how did he break through?
