29: Chapter 29 Joining Forces to Block the Door, Establishing Authority Through a Head-Stomping Attack?
Early morning, the sky had not yet brightened.
Lin Xiao was woken up from a deep sleep.
It wasn't the broadcast, but a series of urgent private message notification sounds.
γ05-05 Fang Yuan: Brother Lin, Brother Lin! Help! We've been ambushed!γ
γ05-05 Fang Yuan: About half an hour ago, someone knocked on the door saying they wanted to discuss cooperation. As soon as Chen Pingan opened the door, he was dragged out. There were several people outside, all holding weapons.γ
γ05-05 Fang Yuan: We tried to save him, but the leader, a guy named Lu Yu, his whole body is as hard as iron, we can't hurt him at all!γ
γ05-05 Fang Yuan: Xiao Wu... to stop them, Xiao Wu was beaten to death by Lu Yu with his bare fists, his entire head was crushed.γ
γ05-05 Fang Yuan: I'm hiding in the private room now, they are still smashing the door. Brother Lin, please help us...γ
Fang Yuan sent voice messages.
In his trembling voice, there was nothing but despair.
Lin Xiao sat up abruptly from the bed, his eyes suddenly turning cold and stern.
Lu Yu?
That's the guy who is fourth on the leaderboard.
Lin Xiao immediately entered the chat channel.
Sure enough, not long ago, someone from Carriage 5 had sent a message asking for help, but it had quickly gone silent.
Only a group of passengers from other carriages were curiously asking about the situation.
It seemed this wasn't an accidental conflict, but a premeditated action.
In a closed environment with limited resources, for a rising new power to quickly establish its status, the best method is to stomp down on existing established groups.
Carriage 5, led by Chen Pingan, had united personnel with balanced strength and did not belong to any clique, making them the perfect target to establish authority.
"Not even the fourth round yet, and people are already getting restless?" Lin Xiao sneered inwardly.
He immediately replied to Fang Yuan: "Hold on."
Concise and to the point.
Rushing to Carriage 5 now to rescue them would be too late, and it would very likely fall right into the opponent's trap.
That group's target was likely not Chen Pingan and the others. Otherwise, Fang Yuan wouldn't still be alive.
The very next second after his message was sent:
"Bang... Bang!"
Two heavy impact sounds suddenly rang out from his own iron door, causing the entire room to shake!
Jiang Wanwan and Wen Yiran were both startled awake, their faces still carrying sleepy drowsiness.
Lin Xiao looked at the iron door, his gaze narrowing:
γIron door durability: 32/32γ β γ10/32γ
22 points of durability in one hit?
Such high attack power, it could actually deal a total damage of sixty or seventy!
Although surprised, Lin Xiao felt no panic.
He quickly consumed materials to max out the iron door's durability and rolled out of bed.
With a thought, he quickly equipped his gear, and his double-bladed battle axe and fist spikes appeared in his hands.
"Wanwan," Lin Xiao looked at the two women who were getting dressed, his voice exceptionally steady, "When I open the door in a moment, fire an γIce Arrowγ outside the door. You don't need to aim at anyone specific!"
Seeing his serious expression, Jiang Wanwan understood the severity of the situation.
She nodded heavily, put on the necklace and hat that increased her spirit attribute, raised her hand, and cold air began to condense in her palm.
"Bang... Bang!"
Two more heavy blows!
The iron door trembled violently, and its durability dropped wildly again.
Lin Xiao timed it right, taking advantage of the opponent's attack interval to quickly repair the durability value, and then...
"Now!"
He abruptly pulled the iron door to one side. In the dim yellow light from the corridor wall lamps, a group of aggressive figures instantly flooded into his sight!
In the corridor, led by Lu Yu, seven or eight men holding various weapons were blocking the doorway.
There were even more figures on both sides of the corridor, but most were just watching.
Some passengers from Carriage 06 even had playful expressions on their faces.
Hearing the door open, Lu Yu and his group quickly entered combat mode.
The few people located on either side of the doorway raised their weapons high, about to launch an attack.
But at that very moment, a sudden flash of Blinding dust exploded among the crowd at the doorway!
Although the range wasn't large, it was enough to make the few people at the very front see white, causing them to instinctively close their eyes or cover their faces.
Lu Yu's reaction was the fastest.
He let out a low roar, raised his pitch-black arm to protect his face, blocking the dust, and at the same time, swung his right fist that had been ready to strike.
However, an ice-blue arrow emitting biting cold air shot out from within the room.
Lu Yu only felt a bone-chilling coldness coming from his arm, and a layer of frost emitting white steam quickly spread across the surface of his skin.
It was precisely because of the interference of the Ice Arrow that his punch was more than half a beat slower.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Xiao moved.
He flashed out from the room like a ghost, and while closing and locking the door, his right-hand battle axe swept across in a cold arc.
Pfft! Pfft!
Two unlucky guys who were too slow to react due to the Blinding effect had blood mist instantly explode from their necks, and their round heads fell to the ground along with their bodies.
The third person wanted to retreat in terror. As Lin Xiao retracted his double-bladed battle axe, he thrust his left arm out.
The spikes flashed with four cold stars in the dim light, and then, accurately hit the opponent's chest.
That person secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Because, for this operation, he had specially bought an expensive leather armor with a full 20 points of durability!
Ordinary weapons simply could not cause effective damage.
But soon, he found that he couldn't catch his breath, and his vision was going black.
Looking down, the sharp spikes on the fist were already piercing through the leather armor, stabbing his beating heart right through.
Weak point attack! 120% damage bonus!
Hitting the target, Lin Xiao quickly withdrew his hand.
Scarlet, warm liquid instantly gushed out from the four bloody holes.
In just a few seconds, three people at the door had died!
Lu Yu looked stunned.
This guy named Lin Xiao had such astonishing combat power, and his fighting style was extremely ruthless, killing with every move.
He didn't look like an ordinary survivor at all; he looked more like a killing machine that had crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!
Could he be a special forces soldier?
Just as he thought about it for a split second, the double-bladed battle axe flipped and slashed horizontally.
So fast!
Lu Yu felt a chill in his heart and quickly crossed his arms, his muscles bulging.
A layer of dense patterns appeared on the surface of his skin.
Clang!
Accompanied by a harsh clashing sound, the sharp axe blade collided with the hard skin, sparking a series of flashes.
Lin Xiao noticed the huge recoil coming from the axe handle, and without hesitation, he borrowed the force to jump back, timely opening up distance.
Looking at Lu Yu again, only a shallow wound remained on his arm.
"Damn it, this one is tough. Ignore him for now, you guys come with me to smash the door and drag the people inside out!"
Yue Feng immediately swung a heavy masonry hammer and smashed it towards the iron door.
He even said filthily: "Wait until I smash the door open, those two little chicks inside, everyone gets a turn..."
Before he could finish his words.
A shadow energy suddenly entered the crowd and grabbed Yue Feng.
He didn't even have time to struggle before his whole body was violently dragged out of the crowd and pulled directly into the center of the corridor.
Yue Feng, who had fallen to the ground, looked up in terror.
He happened to see those cold eyes emanating thick killing intent.
And, a double-bladed battle axe raised high, reflecting cold light.
"Wait, wait... Brother Yu, save..."
The axe blade fell, splitting his scarred head directly open.
Red and white matter splattered all over the floor.
The onlookers were scared pale.
Jiang Xun's legs went weak. He looked at the burly man beside him and said with a trembling voice: "Brother Yu, this kid has too many skills, we can't fight him!"
"What are you afraid of? Skills consume mental energy; he can't use them many times!"
"This kid can't break my defense. You guys, continue smashing the door for me, I'll keep an eye on him!"
Lu Yu stepped forward, blocking the middle of the corridor.
He glanced at his arm that had only been scratched and sneered: "Lin Xiao, be sensible."
"Today, I made an agreement with Brother Liu Bi. It's time to re-divide the territory of the front carriages."
"Hand over the supplies in your hands and those two pretty team members of yours, and I might just let you live..."
