Staring at the completely cleared passage before him, Zhao Feng understood.
This was the "correct usage" of the S-type drilling laser.
The combat mode had evolved again, completely turning into a turn-based system.
First round.
The zombie horde advanced 7 meters, and the attacker's turn ended.
The defender acted, Zhao Feng instantly killed all the zombies with one shot, and ejected their severed limbs and broken arms out of the tunnel.
Second round.
The zombie horde advanced 7.2 meters, and the attacker's turn ended.
The defender acted, Zhao Feng instantly killed all the zombies with one shot again...
In any case, it was just a continuous repetition of the above steps.
During this time, apart from having Ruolan collect some earth resources around to wrap the steel passage for heat insulation.
He transformed into a ruthless aiming machine the entire time.
Another hour passed like this, during which many mutants entered, but they were completely easy targets.
On the contrary, the agile zombies that appeared from who knows where were a bit frightening.
In the blink of an eye, they could move 5 meters, such speed that Zhao Feng almost didn't react the first time he saw it.
But fortunately, in the narrow passage, there was no space for it to dodge.
By the time Zhao Feng reacted, the trash-like defense of the agile type was no match for the erupting flames, and it couldn't escape death.
However, the sudden appearance of new mutants also made him perk up.
（ Hunter, an agile mutant, a leader in the extreme development of genes, known as the Phantom Warrior. Its strength is average, but its speed is extremely fast. It can use area-of-effect attacks or laser weapons. Originating from a gene development experiment.）
（ Special Skill: Speed Burst）
（ Depending on its gene development level, its instantaneous movement distance after a speed burst is between 5-10 meters.）
（ Attention! Hunters are extremely vengeful. Kill them in one blow if possible, otherwise, be wary of their relentless pursuit.）
（ Suggestion: Given that zombies generally have low intelligence and are unable to resist fresh flesh and blood, area-of-effect traps like tripwires can be used to lure and kill them.）
Just after Zhao Feng killed the Hunter, in addition to the Cheat System's prompt, the system interface also popped up a prompt box.
【Ding! You have killed over 10,000 zombies, meeting the standard to unlock the Kill List. You are currently ranked 4875th on the Race Kill List. Please continue your efforts!】
' Hmm? What is this Kill List?'
（ The top 10 on the Kill List will receive additional rewards.）
（ Attention! It is strongly recommended to win first place.）
（ Details: Killing normal zombies and normal biological creatures rewards 1-10 Slaughter Value. Killing mutants or mutated creatures rewards 100-1000 Slaughter Value. Killing evolved bodies or regional rulers rewards 10000-1000000 Slaughter Value. Killing ??? rewards ???）
Looking at the prompt content, Zhao Feng's eyes narrowed involuntarily.
' The reward values are quite interesting, implying that mutants are at least a hundred to a thousand times stronger than normal zombies?'
He thought about the acidic liquid spray from the Worm Zombie.
Indeed, even 100 normal zombies wouldn't be able to get close to it.
‘By extension, the weakest evolved body would be a hundred times stronger than a mutant like the Worm Zombie, or even ten thousand times stronger!’
Instantly, Zhao Feng imagined a scene of ten thousand Worm Zombies spraying acidic liquid together.
Enemies at that stage would have their casual attacks capable of destroying an entire settlement.
Could it be the "Erupting Warrior" or "Phantom Warrior" mentioned in the prompt?
..
Closing the prompt box before him, Zhao Feng shouted to Ruolan.
"Little sister, come here and give your big brother a shoulder rub."
"Coming~~ You want your little sister to~ give you a shoulder rub? Huh!?"
The first two words were spoken in a gentle and lovely voice, but as a fragrant breeze swept over, the pronunciation of the following words became increasingly ferocious and masculine...
Ignoring Ruolan's antics, Zhao Feng said with a serious tone.
"Stop messing around. Check your system interface or communication channel to see if there's a Kill List."
"...So boring, always interrupting."
Although she complained, her hands were not slow. A pair of small hands quickly rested on Zhao Feng's shoulders and began to knead forcefully.
At the same time, she opened her game panel with her consciousness and started searching.
Soon, she found the Kill List.
This list was not displayed separately in the system but was shown in real-time on the World Channel.
Of course, due to the screen limitations, the World Channel only scrolled through the top 100 players by points.
Selecting the share mode, Lan Ruo displayed the page to Zhao Feng.
Glancing at the World Chat interface that lit up at the side of his vision.
Zhao Feng couldn't help but frown.
【 First Place: Li Yunfeng, Points 196534】
【 Second Place: Klose, Points 191532】
【 Third Place: Milsen, Points 152236】
【 Fourth Place: Wang Chen, Points 125231】
【 Fifth Place: Xiao Li, Points 123613】
..
There was no need to look further; the data of the top 5 alone was terrifying enough.
Glancing at the rapidly increasing points of a few people, Zhao Feng roughly guessed a few possibilities.
First, their "spawn points" must have been excellent, such as city ruins, allowing them to quickly build a 【 Power Station】 without drilling equipment and use their weapons without restraint.
Second, their geographical location must have been in a relatively open area, such as a former city plaza, to ensure enough zombies for them to kill.
If they were defending by digging tunnels like Zhao Feng, although the safety was high, the kill count would definitely not increase.
Third, their weapons must have been professional, unlike him using a drilling device to tough it out. Their talents might also have been active skills.
Finally, these few people definitely haven't encountered any mutants or evolved bodies. If they had encountered an agile type, and it was late at night, they would still be trying to farm points? Their heads would be blown off.
' My points are only 10,000, which is far from the first place. It's difficult to snatch the top three. Unless I can break through 10 in my Mental Attribute.'
To be honest, Zhao Feng was a bit conflicted. After two hours of life-and-death struggles, he had finally stabilized, and he really didn't want to take any more risks.
But the Cheat System's prompt forced him to take it seriously.
Just the initial drilling equipment from the Mimatar Mining Group he chose was definitely his best equipment for the start.
And such useful equipment only received a slight hint from the Cheat System, actually being very inconspicuous.
But looking at the first place on the Kill List, and the separate status displayed by the Cheat System, it was obvious how important the reward was.
But the more it was like this, the more panicked he actually became.
Don't look at the Cheat System's prompt saying it only increases the probability of encountering special events by 3% and strange events by 1%.
But as a veteran gamer, he knew that the moment the probability increased, that so-called 1% could be triggered 100%.
Coupled with the fact that this world seemed to be targeting him.
He could imagine that as long as he dared to allocate points to his Mental Attribute, he would definitely be targeted.
' Strange events, what strange things could a planet suffering from a biochemical doomsday have?'
After thinking it over and over, Zhao Feng still did not allocate points immediately.
He had to wait for the Geothermal Power Station to be completed, and also let the shield Ruolan brought be fully charged.
Only with both safety measures in place would allocating points be more secure.
Thus, Zhao Feng and Li Ruolan safely passed the remaining time while grinding monsters.
【 The Geothermal Power Station】 was completed.
（ Detected completion of the 【 Geothermal Power Station】. Please select a power supply method.）
As expected, the Cheat System operated powerfully again.
（ Default Scheme: Cable Power Supply. Power Cables: 100m. Additional cables require separate payment of copper and fiber materials.）
（ Scheme 2: Wireless Power Network. Power Supply Range: 5km. Requires additional payment of Copper x25, Fiber Material x20.）
（ Scheme 3: Stratospheric Power Network. Power Supply Range: The entire hemisphere centered on the base station. Requires additional payment of Smart Chip x1, Silicon Crystal x15, Room Temperature Superconductor x15, Titanium Crystal x20.）
（ Scheme 4: Wormhole Power Network. ???）
..
【Ding! Thank you, Fellow Reader 20220917092304178】, for the reward of 100 Origin Points. This is the first time I've been rewarded in my life. Thank you very much.
