Chapter 201 The Progenitor Made it Easy
Specter-2's senses heightened to their limits as he sought out Lin Feng. "Where did he go?" he demanded, swiveling his head left and right. The heads-up display in his helmet scanned frantically for any sign of the elusive figure. Lin Feng had seemingly vanished into thin air, undetectable even with their advanced tech—until a sudden, pained cry sliced through the air.
Specter-2 whirled towards the source of the sound in time to see Specter-3, his body contorting unnaturally, as if an invisible force was wrenching him apart. Then, with violent abruptness, Specter-3 was hurled away, his figure shrinking rapidly as he flew across the landscape.
Without hesitation, Specter-2 shouldered his pulsefire cannon, his hands steadying the weapon as he attempted to lock onto Lin Feng's last known position. But before the targeting system could confirm a lock, Lin Feng phased out of visibility once more, only to reappear behind Specter-2 in a whisper of motion.
The sudden proximity set off alarms in Specter-2's suit, and he pivoted on instinct, the pulsefire cannon discharging a burst of energy toward Lin Feng's shadow. But the attack met empty space; Lin Feng had already moved, his agility defying the Specters' tactical predictions.
"Visual lost on the target," Specter-2 barked into the comms, "He's toying with us."
"He is faster than our computers could see," Graves noted. "Hold on, Specters, help is one minute out."
The squad, now on high alert, spread out in a defensive formation, with Specter-2 taking point. "Stay sharp, eyes on every possible angle," he instructed.
Specter-4 and Specter-5 took positions flanking Specter-2, their weapons at the ready. Their heads-up displays flickered with data, desperately attempting to recalibrate and detect Lin Feng's next point of attack.
"Visual on anything that moves," Specter-4 said, his gaze sweeping the ruins. The desolation of their surroundings made the absence of life glaringly obvious, yet Lin Feng moved through this void with a ghostly ease that rendered him nearly invisible.
The squad's tension mounted as the seconds ticked by, each moment stretching out as they anticipated Lin Feng's reappearance. They knew that their adversary was not just fast but seemingly capable of predicting their actions.
Graves, monitoring the situation from afar, could sense the unease of his team. "Reinforcements are twenty seconds out. Hold the position and maintain your guard. What's the situation with Specter-3?"
"Specter-3 is unresponsive. Must have been downed by the attack," Specter-2 reported.
"Copy that, The super soldiers are coming to your location in ten seconds…"
The team acknowledged the order, their training kicking in to suppress the primal urge to check over their shoulders. They knew better than to give in to fear. Instead, they focused and trusted the suit that Richard gave to them.
Then, just as the silence began to feel oppressive, a blur of movement caught Specter-2's peripheral vision. He reacted, his cannon swinging in the direction of the disturbance. But again, it was a step behind Lin Feng's lightning-fast maneuvers.
The situation deteriorated rapidly. Specter-2's peripheral catch was a feint; the real attack came from an unexpected angle. Specter-4, positioned to the side, didn't stand a chance. Lin Feng materialized from the shadows, his arm blade gleaming with a sinister light. In one swift, brutal motion, the blade sliced through the air and Specter-4's armor as if it were paper.
The team could only watch in horror as Specter-4's body was cleaved diagonally, the top half sliding off in a grotesque mimicry of animation before collapsing to the ground.
"Man down! Specter-4 is down!" Specter-2 called out.
"Did you see that, Eagle?" Graves asked, his tone serious.
"Yeah…I can see it from here very clearly. He cleaved through Titan's Guard as if it was made of paper. If the power system is based on levels, then I'd put Lin Feng over fifty or possibly higher than that," Richard said, learning from the encounter and the possibility of his assumption being true.
If the zombies around the world are caused by Lin Feng, and the civilians are the mobs where he could earn experience and gold points, then it is almost certain that Lin Feng is above him by many levels. The realization is horrifying but that only means that he should level up and match whatever level Lin Feng has to acquire new technologies from the system as well as have more fighting chance against him.
Richard took a step back, looking at the digital map displayed on the walls. He is beginning to come up with a plan on how to boost his levels to level 50 or possibly, even 100.
And he came up with one—.
But the idea was cut off when Lin Feng decided to take another life by killing Specter-5, leaving Specter-2.
Specter-2, now the sole focus of Lin Feng's attention, felt a surge of adrenaline.
"Where is the backup?!" Specter-2's question was cut short as he felt a piercing sensation. Looking down, he saw the tip of a blade protruding from his chest
Graves, upon seeing this through the live feed, clenched his jaw. "Backup is on your location, now!" he barked, but it was too late for Specter-2. The damage was done.
Lin Feng withdrew his blade smoothly, and Specter-2's body went limp, the life signs on his HUD flickering out.
Lin Feng turned to the ten approaching super soldiers. With a smirk, he simply stomped the ground, causing the earth to shake beneath their feet, momentarily stopping their advance. His right hand transformed into a claw blade and with a swift motion, he thrust his clawed hand into the earth, it responded with violent upheaval. Large sharp spikes, resembling massive electric poles, shot up from the ground impaling the ten super soldiers and killing them in an instant.
"Thank you for the gold and experience…" Lin Feng said. "It will take more than this to defeat me, Blackwatch. Sure you can throw another nuclear missile at me but I'll be long gone before it even reaches me. So, consider this a goodbye Blackwatch…I'll keep you guessing what I do next."
After saying that, Lin Feng disappeared from the site.
"What to do now, Eagle?" Graves asked.
"Well…it's simple, I'm going to increase my levels with a farming technique I came up with. We learned that the progenitor is strong so let's get ourselves stronger. Return to base now Graves, we'll discuss the details from here."
"Copy that, Specter-1 out."
