I slay evil in the Department of the Supernatural

After the two veteran cooks finished lighting the stove lamps, they glanced at Xu Lindong, who had only lit a fire in the stove, and their eyes held different meanings.

He scoffed inwardly, thinking that this new kitchen staff member was really too inexperienced; he couldn't even learn from him.

But since they were about to take action, they didn't say much.

Since there are many people, such group activities are usually not very risky. Even if newcomers suffer some losses, it can be considered a kind of experience.

You can't learn something just by being taught it; you only need to be taught a skill once.

Once everyone was ready, they slowly approached.

The fog created by the area became increasingly thick, reducing visibility to less than forty meters.

Forty meters away, only the outlines of zombies lingering in the fog could be vaguely glimpsed.

There were even sounds of chopping wood, as if some of the zombies were still continuing some of their habits from when they were alive.

The stench of decay grew increasingly clear and pungent, making one want to vomit.

"The visibility ahead is too poor. You kitchen staff should first scout out the exact location of those zombies in the plaza before the rest of you make your move!"

Yuan Heng suddenly spoke.

Xu Lindong understood what he meant.

He took a cigarette from the pack, lit it, and then grabbed the chimney exhaust pipe, blowing a cloud of smoke into it.

"call!"

A cigarette burned out almost instantly.

After being amplified by the chimney exhaust pipe, the smoke became noticeably thicker and denser, spreading forward.

The smoke, like countless outstretched tentacles and eyes, pierced through the darkness for him, allowing him to discern truth from falsehood.

The two cooks next to them had just exhaled two small smoke rings when they saw this scene and were both stunned.

The smoke spread into the darkness, and Xu Lindong instantly discerned the movements within eighty meters.

"There are three on the opposite side, one at the eight o'clock direction, one at the eleven o'clock direction..."

He had only given out two locations when two other kitchen officials filled in the location of the third zombie.

Almost at the same time he finished speaking.

"Boom boom!!"

The bowstrings twanged, and several executives who had been waiting in the wings released their arrows.

The arrows were imbued with extraordinary power, and the group's senses remained sharp even in the fog, ensuring that not a single arrow missed its mark.

But the sound of the blow was dull, like striking wood.

"Epiphyseal plates!!!"

Inhuman roars erupted from the fog.

Several zombies, struck by arrows, tore through the mist and rushed forward at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people.

The tranquility was shattered in an instant, as roars echoed from the distant fog, and more zombie figures emerged.

Xu Lindong's expression was serious. Using the smoke to sense the movement, he immediately shouted a warning:

"Five more have arrived!"

"choke!"

Pang Jia drew his gleaming broadsword and took the lead in facing a charging zombie.

The veins in her neck were visible, and her aura was like a series of tall, overlapping figures, all of whom gripped the hilt of a knife tightly!

"Click!"

A gleaming blade flashed as it fell.

Although this strike was not the Evil-Slaying Blade Qi of the Ninth-Rank Pavilion Chief, its power was astonishing, enhanced by layers of human blood energy.

With a single slash, he cleaved open the zombie's bronze-skinned, iron-boned body, felling it to the ground.

"Bang!!"

Gunshots rang out.

Lei Chong had somehow acquired two guns, and as the bullets left the barrels, they spewed fire, instantly hitting another zombie.

The bullet ignited the zombie, causing crimson lava to flow from the wound before exploding violently and inflicting severe damage.

Lei Chong was also a kitchen official, and the bullets he used were clearly specially made.

"Extraordinary weapons..."

A young village head named Miao Zhuang standing nearby looked on with envy.

Xu Lindong glanced at the chimney in his hand, then looked at the other man's pair of pistols, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes.

But he quickly regained his composure, because he realized that Lei Chong's strength was clearly not just based on his equipment.

His control over the fire was so precise that he could fill the fire with bullets and cause an explosion.

This requires a deep understanding and study of the Kitchen God's authority in order to comprehend the abilities of the Kitchen God sequence, thereby accelerating the digestion of extraordinary substances within the body and achieving a true improvement in sequence abilities.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The calm was shattered at this moment, and more executives opened fire simultaneously.

Bullets and arrows rained down, and the roaring zombies that charged forward fell one after another.

Before Yuan Heng could make a move, the situation had been temporarily stabilized.

But as the fog churned on the other side, even more zombies continued to burst forth from it.

Some even walked with the strange gait that Lu Qian described.

Although it wasn't a ghost step, it was still very strange and fast, disappearing into the mist and appearing behind him in the blink of an eye.

Xu Lindong was unwilling to give his colleagues too many opportunities to "earn merits and steal kills," so he took the initiative to meet a zombie that was baring its teeth and claws and lunging at him.

He lifted the chimney and swung it at the zombie's head like a baseball!

"clang!"

A loud bang made his arms go numb.

The zombie paused briefly, shook its head, and stared at Xu Lindong with its bloodshot eyes, opening its foul-smelling mouth as if to pounce.

"This beast's strength and defense are indeed astonishing."

Despite his surprise, Xu Lindong remained calm and composed, forcefully channeling the fire from the stove into the chimney's exhaust pipe.

boom!!

Suddenly, flames burst forth from the chimney like a flamethrower, instantly engulfing the zombies.

"Holy crap? You can use a stove fire like that?"

"This fire is incredibly strong, with such a huge flame!"

The two veteran kitchen staff were stunned.

Using the exhaust pipes of a superbike as weapons is one thing, but they can only blame themselves for not having a big enough imagination and not thinking of this.

But how could this newcomer have such fierce control over the stove fire?

With such a sudden burst of fire, aren't you afraid of triggering a backlash from the extraordinary substances within your body?

Although they were also kitchen officials, they never dared to manipulate the fire so violently, nor did they dare to fight the zombies up close. They always only provided support or fired from a distance.

Now they understood why Yuan Heng valued this newcomer so much.

"Epiphyseal!"

At this moment, the zombies in the flames, disregarding the burning, pounced again.

Xu Lindong stepped back and suddenly pulled his hand away.

boom!!

A ring of fire suddenly solidified before the two old stove masters' almost bulging eyes, and then he pushed it out forcefully.

"Bang!!"

The ring of fire collided with the burning stove fire on the zombie's body, causing a surge of extraordinary power that exploded like firewood bursting open.

The zombie let out a howl as its chest was blown apart.

"hiss!"

Xu Lindong took a deep breath and then exhaled.

The smoke from the stove, swirling around them, immediately swarmed towards the zombies engulfed in flames.

Smoke from the stove rushed into the zombie's mouth.

Even though the zombie was no longer alive, it was still choked by the extraordinary smoke from the stove, its mouth agape and it staggered and coughed.

"clang!"

Xu Lindong rushed forward quickly and knocked the burning zombie to the ground with a single blow from the chimney.

Immediately afterwards, he slammed down several more barrels, the force of the blows accompanied by waves of fire howling, the zombie's head spun around like a ball a few times, and with a "crack," its neck snapped.

The head, still engulfed in the smoldering fire, rolled a long way, the flames scorching the flesh and bones with a crackling sound, until it finally died.

"Merit +150!"

A message appeared inside the Tower of Babel.

His wristwatch also displayed: "One zombie killed".

"The head of this thing is as hard as pig iron!"

Xu Lindong frowned, shook his hands which were numb from the impact, and quickly looked around.

They discovered that the few remaining zombies had been surrounded by others.

Ding Jian, wielding two daggers, was engaged in close combat with a zombie.

"This level of zombie evil, although possessing extraordinary power at the tenth rank, is far inferior to human superhumans in terms of combat intelligence."

When they encounter extraordinary individuals of our level, they are basically powerless to fight back.

Xu Lindong understood immediately.

"Especially them, they have a deep understanding of their own sequence and even used their merits to exchange for powerful extraordinary equipment!"

His gaze swept over Lei Chong, who was wielding specially made twin pistols, and Pang Jia, who was carrying a gleaming broadsword.

Lei Chong's pair of pistols are probably upgraded versions of Tang Lei's two.

These extraordinary pieces of equipment are incredibly expensive, probably costing hundreds of thousands of Xia Kingdom coins.

Unlike him, a poor wretch who has to dismantle the exhaust pipe of a rented motorcycle to use as a weapon.

Seeing that the battle was under control, he lent a helping hand.

He blew a smoke ring toward Ding Jian, hoping to help him finish the fight quickly.

Fourteen zombies just rushed out of the fog-shrouded square across the street.

Lei Chong took down three of them by himself, while Yuan Heng and Pang Jia each took down two.

Of the remaining six, Xu Lindong killed one by himself, and a village head named Lü Ang also took care of one by himself.

Of the remaining four, only Ding Jian was still fighting alone; the other executives were quickly taken down by two or three people working together.

The other two newcomers were even more flustered and looked quite disheveled.

Xu Lindong's performance also drew some attention from the executives present.

Even Lei Chong, who was always arrogant, couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.

The power of the hearth fire is indeed very strong; it can suppress or even burn away evil spirits, and it can also explode and cause damage when supernatural forces collide.

But it is extremely rare to see someone as fierce and skilled at controlling the stove fire as Xu Lindong.

This indicates that his understanding of the Kitchen God's authority has reached a very deep level, which has facilitated the proper digestion of supernatural substances.

Ordinary kitchen officials are afraid of triggering the backlash of extraordinary substances, so they dare not unleash their full power and naturally cannot exert such combat strength.

As for ordinary village heads, although they are blessed with abundant human energy and vitality, and can mobilize people and incense to ward off evil, the power of incense to exorcise evil is not as fierce and direct as that of stove fire.

Without powerful equipment, even a village headman would find it difficult to gain the upper hand against zombies on his own, and would mostly need to team up to achieve a quick victory.

"laugh!"

With Xu Lindong's help, Ding Jian successfully beheaded the zombie. He breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Xu, nodded, and smiled, "Thanks, brother. My goodness! You're awesome!"

"My hair?"

Xu Lindong realized that this must be the tone of the Federation, similar to the national treasure "Wocao".

Yuan Heng looked at the now quiet square across the street and said, "This area should be cleared out by now. Let's go check if there are any omissions."

Xu Lindong withdrew his gaze from the several zombie corpses on the ground, feeling a slight pang of regret.

He wanted to collect the corpses and use them as fertilizer in the Tower of Babel, but with so many people watching, he obviously couldn't do it.

His gaze shifted forward, and the smoke that had been spreading around him suddenly focused on a particular spot.

There are good things there...
