17: Wang Yi, the God of War! Scoring points for the country!

Wang Yi's breathing,

became incredibly heavy in an instant.

Points! national fortune points! hundred kill! Thousand Kill!

He finally understood!

He finally understood that killing these monsters

wasn't just about survival!

Every kill was accumulating something called national fortune points for Dragon Country!

And the dense, dark mass below him

wasn't an endless threat at all,

but a... gold mine!

A gold mine made of national fortune points and regular points, waiting for him to mine it!

“Win glory for Dragon Country...”

Wang Yi murmured this sentence from the mission description.

In his bloodshot eyes, strained from prolonged shooting,

an unprecedented light suddenly erupted!

It was a flame!

A flame named conviction and mission!

As a former soldier,

a warrior who had sworn an oath under the national flag, the word 'Country'

had long been deeply etched into his marrow!

Before, he was fighting only to survive.

But now, he was fighting for his country!

The meaning was entirely different!

Boom!

An indescribable, powerful force

surged from every cell in his body!

The exhaustion built up from the long battle

seemed to be swept away in this instant!

“Roar—!”

Below, a zombie shrieked,

climbing onto the second-floor windowsill again.

Wang Yi snapped back to his senses, the killing intent in his eyes skyrocketing!

“Come on! You pieces of trash!”

He let out a long-suppressed low growl,

raising his desert eagle once more!

But this time, his mindset had completely changed!

Previously,

he had been shooting with the mindset of holding his ground

and wearing down the enemy.

Then looking for a chance to escape.

But now, he was farming points! He was winning glory for his country!

The way he looked at the zombies below

was no longer with disgust and caution, but... excitement!

Like a gamer

seeing a screen full of experience-granting mobs!

“Bang!”

The gunshot rang out again!

The bullet accurately pierced the zombie's skull, bringing forth a mist of blood.

【Dragon Country contestant Wang Yi, killed a common zombie, points +10!】

The notification sound in his head sounded so beautiful right now!

“Next!”

Wang Yi shifted his muzzle, locking onto another zombie!

“Bang!”

Another shot!

【Dragon Country contestant Wang Yi, killed a common zombie, points +10!】

Inside the Dragon Country Operations Center,

everyone could clearly sense Wang Yi's change

through the live stream.

“His aura has completely changed!” a staff officer said in shock.

“Exactly! Look at his eyes! That's not defending, that's attacking! It's full of aggression!”

“His firing rate... seems even faster than before!”

Major General Li Guodong clenched his fists and said excitedly:

“It worked! Our mission guidance worked! He understands now! He knows what he's doing!”

A rare curve appeared at the corner of General Lin Zhan's mouth.

He looked at the figure on the screen, who seemed possessed by a war god as he poured out firepower, and his heart filled with pride.

These are the warriors of Dragon Country!

As long as you give them a noble enough goal,

they can unleash combat power beyond imagination!

The audience in the livestream didn't know why Wang Yi suddenly acted like he'd been injected with chicken blood,

but they could intuitively feel that blood-pumping, powerful aura!

“Holy crap! What happened to the Soldier King? He's suddenly so fierce!”

“That fire rate! My god! Does he even need to aim? That's basically flick-shotting!”

“So intense! This is a real man of Dragon Country! One against a thousand!”

“I feel like he's not just killing zombies now, he's enjoying the process!”

Audiences all over the world

witnessed a magnificent and bloody slaughter feast belonging to Wang Yi alone

through this small live stream screen!

Minutes and seconds passed.

Wang Yi's shooting didn't stop for a moment.

The gunshots were like never-ending war drums,

echoing over the dead city.

Shell casings? Non-existent.

Reloading? Even less necessary.

The desert eagle in his hand seemed like an extension of his arm, tirelessly spitting out the flames of death.

Below, the dark tide of corpses was being rapidly thinned out at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Zombie corpses piled up layer by layer beneath the small building, almost blocking the first-floor doors and windows.

【Dragon Country contestant Wang Yi, killed a common zombie, points +10!】

【Dragon Country contestant Wang Yi, killed a common zombie, points +10!】

...【Dragon Country contestant Wang Yi, achieved ‘50 Kill Streak’ achievement, personal points +500!】

【Dragon Country national fortune points +500!】

When this announcement rang out in the Operations Center, everyone couldn't help but cheer.

“Another achievement!”

“Too strong! Wang Yi is simply a point-farming machine!”

Su Yuan looked at the rapidly rising national fortune points on his system panel, and his heart blossomed with joy.

This deal was too worth it!

Spending 100 points to issue a mission in exchange for the total explosion of Wang Yi's combat power—the resulting benefits were exponential!

Now, the national fortune points had returned to 500.

He could do a lot of things again!

Su Yuan's gaze immediately turned toward the Arena Mall.

He hadn't forgotten that besides Wang Yi, Dragon Country had nineteen other contestants.

Right now, they were all still struggling on the line between life and death.

He quickly switched his god's-eye view to contestant no. 2, the Surgeon Li Bingyao.

In the image, Li Bingyao was hiding in the pharmacy of an abandoned clinic.

She had already used her professional knowledge

to collect many useful antibiotics, bandages, and disinfectants, stuffing her backpack full.

But at this moment, she had also run into trouble.

Several zombies, attracted by the noise she accidentally made while collecting medicine, were blocked at the pharmacy door,

frantically pounding on the thin wooden door with their rotting palms.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Under the violent impact,

cracks had already appeared in the wooden door.

Behind the door, Li Bingyao was pale, desperately holding a cabinet against the door.

But her strength obviously couldn't compare to an adult male,

let alone a zombie with immense strength.

Her pretty face was written with fear and despair.

She was just a doctor, a doctor who used a scalpel to save people; when had she ever seen such a terrifying scene?

Watching the cabinet be pushed back little by little under the zombies' impact,

she could even smell the nauseating stench of decay

wafting in through the cracks in the door.

“Am... am I going to die?”

Desperate tears flowed from Li Bingyao's eyes.

She didn't want to die; she still had many patients waiting for her to perform surgery, and her parents were still waiting for her to come home... Just at this critical moment!

【Ding! Detected that you are a Dragon Country contestant. You have received a supply from the Dragon Country Administrator. Do you wish to accept?】

A cold and unfamiliar voice suddenly rang in her mind.

Administrator? Supply?

Li Bingyao was stunned.

What was this? A hallucination?

But before she could think further, the pounding outside the door became more violent.

The cracks in the wooden door grew larger, and a rotting arm suddenly reached through a crack, scratching wildly!

“Ah!”

Li Bingyao screamed in fright.

The instinct to survive made her subconsciously shout in her mind:

“Accept! I accept!”

The next second, a glimmer of light flashed before her.

A vial of potion shimmering with a pale blue fluorescence

appeared out of thin air in her hand.

At the same time, a piece of information flooded into her mind.

【primary strength amplification potion: After use, permanently increases strength by 10 points.】

Increase strength?

Li Bingyao looked at this sci-fi-looking potion in her hand,

then at the door that was about to be smashed open, and she didn't hesitate for a second!

She unscrewed the cap and drank all the pale blue liquid in one go!

The potion didn't have any special taste; it was just like drinking a mouthful of cold water.

But the next second, a warm current

instantly surged from her stomach

toward her limbs and bones!

She could clearly feel her muscles and bones undergoing an indescribable, wondrous change in this instant!

An unprecedented sense of power filled her entire body!

“Bang!”

The pharmacy door was finally completely smashed open by the zombies!

A hideous zombie roared, opening its bloody maw as it lunged toward Li Bingyao!

If it were before, faced with this situation,

Li Bingyao probably couldn't have done anything except scream and wait for death.

But now!

She looked at the lunging zombie; although there was still fear in her eyes,

there was more of a desperate anger and will to live!

“Get away!”

She let out a shout that surprised even herself, using all her strength to suddenly push the cabinet in front of her

fiercely toward the zombie!

Boom!

That heavy iron cabinet,

under the push of Li Bingyao's immense strength, was like a cannonball,

slamming hard into the lunging zombie!

“Aow...”

The zombie let out a strange cry,

sent flying backward by the massive impact,

even knocking down two other zombies behind it!

Li Bingyao herself was stunned.

When... did she have such great strength?
