I was used as cannon fodder at the start, but my superpower came into play!

Chapter 17: This lineup? How am I supposed to fight them?!

Upon learning that Mao Xingzhou was forcing Su Yu to become cannon fodder, Chen Bin was furious.

Chen Bin knew this guy was stupid, but he didn't expect Mao Xingzhou to be this stupid.

Are they using Su Yu as cannon fodder?

If he's dead, that's fine. But if he's alive, wouldn't that create a deep-seated hatred that's impossible to resolve?

Knowing that this was forcing someone to their death, Chen Bin wouldn't be surprised even if Su Yu shot Mao Xingzhou in the back.

Moreover, Su Yu was the best among the new recruits, and even if he died, Chen Bin hoped that his death would be worthwhile.

It's really not worth sacrificing a smart person to save an idiot.

On the other hand, if there were no cannon fodder, Chen Bin could understand Mao Xingzhou's actions.

The problem is that there are two cannon fodder right next to them. Instead of letting Lu Renjia and Cheng Li lure the monster away, they are targeting Su Yu. This bastard is definitely harboring selfish motives.

Even if the other party could come up with a thousand excuses, Chen Bin could not forgive Mao Xingzhou's behavior.

But since things had already come to this point, and everyone was already in the survival killing game, Chen Bin decided not to pursue Mao Xingzhou's mistake for now, and to wait until the game ended and everyone returned to the room with the red cube.

Meanwhile, Su Yu, hiding in a high-rise building in Water Bear City, glanced through the gap in the curtains at the zombies wandering aimlessly on the street below.

He picked up his coffee, took a leisurely sip, and realized that since leaving the group, his quality of life had improved dramatically.

Although it's just instant coffee, in this post-apocalyptic world, not everyone can enjoy a steaming cup of coffee.

Beside Su Yu were two MP5 submachine guns, along with a large number of submachine gun magazines, pistol magazines, and grenades.

This was seized from the police officers of a special police unit near the hotel during his evacuation.

Su Yu guessed that these police officers were coming for them, but unfortunately, before they even reached their destination, the fully armed police officers were infected by the biochemical virus and began to mutate.

Police officers turned into zombies are easier to deal with than those who are alive and know how to cooperate with their companions, because they have forgotten how to fire a gun.

The outcome of an ordinary zombie facing a Licker is self-evident. Su Yu dealt with these zombies transformed from SWAT officers without much effort.

Coincidentally, the pistols carried by these police officers were the famous M1911, and the pistol that Fu Xueying gave to Su Yu was also an M1911.

To make it easier to carry weapons and ammunition, Su Yu didn't forget to take a tactical vest, along with the other party's holster and multi-functional tactical leg pack, from a police zombie of similar size to himself.

He had his M1911 pistol tucked into a holster on his right leg, while the pistol magazine was stored in a multi-purpose tactical leg pouch on his left leg.

According to Su Yu's idea, the grenades were hung on his waist, and the submachine gun magazines were placed on the front of his tactical vest.

He carried two submachine guns, one in front of him and the other slung across his waist.

If one of the submachine guns malfunctions, or if there isn't enough time to change the magazine, he can simply pick up the other gun and fire it, so that he won't be caught off guard at a crucial moment.

After making preparations and resting for half a day at a temporary stop, Su Yu, refreshed and ready, set off for her next destination.

He chose a gas station, mainly because the gas station stored a large amount of fuel.

In peacetime, oil is used as fuel for vehicles.

However, in times of war, these would be considered essential war supplies.

Although the current biohazard crisis is different from traditional warfare, and he doesn't drive steel beasts like tanks, that doesn't stop Su Yu from treasuring fuel.

Even if it's not used to power vehicles and tanks, this fuel can still burn. Against hordes of zombies, there's little killing power other than explosions, making it faster and more effective than flames.

Along the way, Su Yu didn't care about the consumption of ammunition. No matter how much noise he made or how many zombies gathered, they couldn't pose a threat to him. At worst, he could become a Licker, climb to a high place, and shake off these monsters.

Su Yu's original clothes had already been torn apart by his rapidly growing size when he first became a Licker.

Thanks to the protective suit provided by the Red Cube, which was made of some unknown material and had exceptionally good elasticity, Su Yu, who had transformed back into a human from a Licker, was spared the embarrassment of having to search for clothes due to being naked.

"We've finally arrived..."

As the outline of the gas station gradually came into view, Su Yu, who was running and fighting, breathed a sigh of relief.

He couldn't even remember how many zombies he had killed in the short distance of a few hundred meters from his temporary lodging to the gas station, nor did he have time to look back and see if any of the zombies had dropped their precious seeds.

After leading a large number of zombies into the gas station, Su Yu hurriedly took out an incendiary grenade, turned around and threw it into the horde of zombies.

call……

A flash of fire appeared amidst the horde of zombies, igniting their clothing. The flames spread rapidly like a bio-virus, engulfing one figure after another.

"Hey, this is a reward for you!"

Su Yu picked up a few grenades and threw them at the zombies engulfed in flames, like throwing stones.

Su Yu didn't pull the pin on the grenade. He knew this was a gas station. No matter how daring he was, even if he set fire to a gas station, he wouldn't dare to blow up the gas pump before anyone had escaped. That would be tantamount to suicide.

After doing all this, Su Yu quickened his pace and fled into the distance without looking back.

boom……

After running for several hundred meters, Su Yu heard an explosion behind him.

Upon hearing the commotion, Su Yu's eyelids twitched, and he ran even faster.

He knew it was a grenade he had thrown that had exploded under the intense heat.

Boom boom boom...

A series of explosions reached Su Yu's ears.

Su Yu estimated that the gas station's equipment was almost completely destroyed by such a dense explosion.

As if to confirm Su Yu's guess, two minutes later, an even more violent explosion occurred inside the gas station.

Rumble...

The scale of this explosion is unlike anything we've seen before.

Su Yu couldn't help but glance back, and saw a plume of black smoke slowly rising above the gas station.

Flames followed the black smoke, and scorching waves of air swept in from all directions.

Even though Su Yu had run nearly a kilometer, she could still clearly feel the temperature around her rising rapidly.

"Now, I don't know how many zombies will die at my hands."

To earn points, you have to find ways to kill monsters, regardless of whether you take advantage of the terrain. In short, all these zombies died because of him.

Thinking of this, Su Yu's lips curled up slightly.

Over the next few days, Su Yu wandered around Water Bear City. Apart from eating and sleeping, the thing he did most was set fires everywhere.

Of course, before setting the fire, he would deliberately lure the zombies to a designated location, making the most of everything and not wasting a building that could kill zombies.

In some places, such as shopping malls or hotels, you can go back to check the situation and search for your loot after the fire is extinguished.

In some places, like gas stations, fires can burn for days and nights without going out. Even if you can't see the flames, there is still a potential danger. Su Yu simply gave up and didn't even bother to look at it.

Over the course of several days, Su Yu collected a total of four Black Iron Seeds. Looking at his spoils, he couldn't help but lament the low drop rate of the seeds. It seemed that to obtain high-level seeds, he still had to kill monsters of higher levels.

Meanwhile, Chen Bin and his team, who were defending the base in the hotel, also realized that something was wrong.

"Have you noticed that there seem to be far fewer zombies around the hotel these past few days?"

While everyone was gathered in the living room discussing, Fu Xueying voiced her doubts.

"There are fewer zombies now, isn't that a good thing? Do you really want to fight those monsters?"

With a cigarette dangling from his mouth and leaning back on the sofa, Mao Xingzhou said that Lu Renjia was beside him, dutifully playing the role of his underling.

"Good my ass! Do you think everyone's like you, just loafing around all day, with no ambition whatsoever?"

Chu Tianyang wasn't going to tolerate Mao Xingzhou; the more he looked at him, the more displeased he became.

You know, his wife took good care of Su Yu, but before she could get anything in return, that guy was killed by Mao Xingzhou. How could Chu Tianyang not have any complaints?

As for why he thought Su Yu was dead instead of still alive, the most fundamental reason was that the newcomer hadn't returned. Chu Tianyang didn't believe that the other party had the ability to survive in the zombie-infested Water Bear City on his own.

"Want to fight monsters? That's easy. Just run out into the street and make a commotion. I'm not stopping you, am I?"

Mao Xingzhou wasn't afraid of Chu Tianyang at all. The other party looked down on him, so why would he respect this brute who was all brawn and no brain?

In this team, the only people Mao Xingzhou could fear were the team leader Chen Bin and the kind-hearted but taciturn An Qiluo.

He had witnessed An Qiluo's strength firsthand; compared to dealing with monsters, that woman's special abilities were more suitable for dealing with players.

Moreover, An Qiluo's strength is even higher than that of the group leader Chen Bin, so he can't possibly try to take advantage of her.

As for Chu Tianyang and Fu Xueying, he could only feel wary of them, not afraid of them.

If a fight really breaks out, neither of them will come out on top, let alone kill him; they'll have to pay a thousandfold price.

To say that Mao Xingzhou wasn't jealous that Chu Tianyang married a good wife would be utter nonsense; he dreamed of getting Fu Xueying into bed.

As the saying goes, nothing tastes better than dumplings, and nothing is more fun than your sister-in-law.

Married women are the most charming!

The reason they didn't do that was simply because they lacked the strength to force the other party to comply.

Unexpectedly, Mao Xingzhou retorted, and Chu Tianyang's face turned green with anger, looking ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

"Stop arguing."

Fu Xueying reached out and tugged at Chu Tianyang's sleeve. She had a persistent feeling of unease that lingered in her heart.

"These past few days, we've been hearing huge explosions every now and then. Could the zombies have been lured away by the explosions?"

As the group leader, Chen Bin was quite shrewd and experienced.

To be honest, he didn't want to fight the monster to the death. This mission had very lenient requirements; as long as he survived the time specified by the red magic, he could return to the cube space.

Nothing is more important than living. As long as you can survive, you can gradually become stronger.

Turning to look at An Qiluo, Chen Bin asked for her opinion.

"Auntie, what do you think?"

Chen Bin was accompanied by Chi Feng and Zeng Fuyuan, who currently followed his lead without question.

"How can I look? Of course, I'll look through the window."

An Qiluo didn't even turn her head; her gaze passed through the glass and landed on the street outside the window.

Cheng Li, who was standing next to her, remained silent the whole time, looking like a wronged little wife.

Ever since Su Yu left, Cheng Li's life has not been as easy as before.

Fortunately, An Qiluo took some care of her, which prevented Cheng Li from dying at the hands of the zombies.

"Well……"

Chen Bin was speechless for a moment. He knew that An Qiluo's words meant that this young aunt did not have any unique insights either.

Leaving aside Chen Bin and the others, who each had their own thoughts, Su Yu alone proved with his actions what it means to be mature in thought and sharp in tactics.

In the process of designing the trap to kill the zombies, he seized so many supplies that he couldn't count them all. Unfortunately, he didn't have a space watch, which left Su Yu with a lot of troubles.

After much deliberation, Su Yu decided that once this game was over, he would sell everything he owned to get the Space Watch.

"That is..."

Standing atop a tall building, clutching binoculars he'd acquired from a military supply store, Su Yu's expression shifted as he watched a bus speeding towards him down the street.

What the hell is going on?

Su Yu put down the binoculars and wiped his eyes.

Once he was sure he wasn't seeing things, Su Yu picked up the binoculars again and began to observe the situation in the distance.

If he wasn't mistaken, the driver of that bus was actually a zombie.

Furthermore, there was more than just the driver on that bus; there were three female zombies in the carriage. Although they were dressed in clean business suits, their grayish-white skin exposed to the air betrayed their race completely.

If that's the case, then so be it.

The problem is that a giant zombie, with a burly build and a height of three meters, is lying on the bus.

The giant zombie gripped the side windows of the bus with both hands, wearing a black tactical vest, with a multi-barrel Gatling gun slung across its back and bright yellow ammunition belts slung over its shoulders.

"Holy shit..."

That wasn't all. Aside from the zombie driver, the three female zombies, and the giant zombie carrying a Gatling gun, Su Yu saw at least twenty or thirty Lickers following behind the bus.

The bus wasn't going fast, but Su Yu knew perfectly well that they were coming straight for him!

Su Yu's forehead began to sweat, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.

"This fucking lineup, how am I supposed to fight it?!"

Su Yu was certain that this was no longer an opponent he could defeat through design.

No matter how mature his thinking or how sharp his tactics, he couldn't withstand the opponent's powerful flying bricks. Any schemes or tricks were utterly ineffective in the face of absolute strength.

Looking up at the sky, Su Yu felt like crying.

He's definitely getting his just desserts!

They had just dealt several large waves of zombies when they were suddenly overwhelmed by even stronger zombies.

Not to mention the zombie driver who can drive the vehicle, there are also the three strange female zombies, and the twenty or thirty lickers following behind the car.

Just look at that giant zombie, over three meters tall, with its long, thick arms and slaps the size of a frying pan.

Su Yu estimated that if he were caught by the other party, with the slightest force, his head would explode like a watermelon being hit by a hammer, his brains splattering everywhere.

"Run!"

Su Yu sighed; he had no other choice but to run away.

The problem is where to run? He can't drive, and even if he becomes a Licker, there's a time limit.

Once his stamina is exhausted and he can no longer maintain the effects of his special abilities, he will revert from a Licker back to a human.

"Should we shift the blame and lure these mutants to Chen Bin and his group?"

The only solution Su Yu could think of was to have Chen Bin and others share the burden.

Without hesitation, Su Yu loosened his tactical vest, holster, and the straps of his multi-functional tactical leg pack, decisively becoming a Licker and retreating in the direction of Chen Bin and the others.

On the way to escape, Su Yu kept thinking about how to deal with Chen Bin and the others' questioning.

It can't be that he made too much noise and thus attracted the attention of a group of mutated zombies, can it?

If that were the case, Su Yu knew even with his toes that Chen Bin would tear him apart.
