【Third Place: Kloze, Points: 291532】

【Fourth Place: Milsen, Points: 282236】

【Fifth Place: Wang Chen, Points: 197231】

Li Yunfeng, who had held first place for several hours, was immediately relegated to second place, and not in a way that could be caught up.

It seems quite exaggerated.

But you must understand, this was achieved with the help of favorable timing, advantageous location, teamwork, and a cheat system.

First and foremost, a cheat system is essential; otherwise, one wouldn't even know the true nature of these monsters.

Next, without the "Ancient Whisper" for favorable timing, and without manufacturing a large number of Cleaners to clear the path, Zhao Feng likely wouldn't have even had the chance to open the main gate.

Then there's the "advantageous location," whether it's his Safe House or the plaza in Underground City A09, both provide bonuses to location.

Without the advantage of location, the zombies wouldn't gather to such an extent, making it impossible to achieve such an exaggerated lethal effect.

Finally, "teamwork" involved Li Ruolan providing information that he then utilized, coupled with Zhao Feng's courage to take a gamble, which allowed him to obtain a crucial item.

All these conditions combined allowed him to rack up a massive amount of points.

..

Time trickled by.

30 minutes later, after Zhao Feng's 5 sweeps, although the number of zombies in the underground city still appeared to be large.

The zombie density per square meter never dropped below 20.

However, with the mission system's statistics, Zhao Feng clearly knew that these zombies were merely at the end of their rope.

【28.23 million / 36.23 million】

"???"

Zhao Feng was a bit confused looking at the displayed data.

'The upper limit should be an integer, right? Did I misremember?'

He frowned and set it aside for the moment, as he had more important things to do.

Just like the previous few times, he ran to the frontline, raised his left hand, and continued to mow down enemies.

2.5 seconds later, the kill count increased by several million.

Even the number of zombies pouring out visibly decreased.

He glanced at the mission data again.

【31.71 million / 36.24 million】

"!!!"

Staring at the increased upper limit of 10,000, he finally understood what was wrong.

'What does this mission mean? Is it playing games?! The upper limit can change?'

The cheat system didn't provide any prompts this time, indicating that the trigger standard hadn't been met.

He noted this unreasonable phenomenon in his mind and continued his current massacre.

At this point, the number of zombies was less than 5 million. Once they all emerged, one more sweep would be enough, and they wouldn't pose a significant threat.

By then, his weapon would have 2 attack opportunities remaining.

He glanced at the Cleaners still pouring out from behind him and mused.

'Leaving two attacks for the boss fight should be enough, right?'

'And perhaps the Cleaners alone could take care of them.'

Thinking this, Zhao Feng looked at the zombie upper limit that was increasing again, and his heart hardened.

'Even if they spawn 10,000 zombies per second, it won't matter!'

With that thought, Zhao Feng felt he shouldn't make rash declarations and rephrased his words.

"Uh... let's stick to 1,000 zombies per second... or maybe 100 is fine too."

10 minutes later...

Standing in the empty plaza, Zhao Feng felt everything had become rather dull.

It was too easy, like a one-hit kill at level 999, completely lacking any challenge.

'That's it? They even increased the difficulty by 30%? In less than an hour, the zombies are gone! '

'Heh~ The system is even cheating, secretly spawning zombies. Spawn them again! I'll kill them all!'

'Ah, the loneliness... They said I'd encounter insurmountable danger after breaking away from the Cleaners, but where's the danger?'

Watching the Cleaners continuously pouring into various corners of the city, Zhao Feng walked with light steps, following the prompt information towards City Hall.

He didn't take the small paths but stayed close to the Cleaners flying on the main road, ensuring he always had 2-3 nearby.

He had killed so many zombies, clicking frantically was fine, but he wasn't stupid; he would never do anything to court death!

The journey was uneventful. The urban areas of this alien world were no different from Earth, with tall buildings designed to maximize comfort and space utilization.

Before long, he arrived at the area where City Hall was located.

During this time, Zhao Feng forcefully overcame his psychological barriers and dragged a Cleaner with him to this location.

Fearing it might fly away, he even tied it to himself.

This was only possible because they were familiar with each other, and he didn't have that strange Synthetic Protein in his body.

Otherwise, would this Cleaner tolerate him?

Wouldn't it have directly torn him apart?

He stepped inside cautiously.

Inside City Hall, only the main hall and the exhibition hall on the side were accessible; other rooms required a permission card.

He couldn't just randomly use a B-rank researcher's permission card to open doors.

At this moment, he had only one bodyguard, who was still somewhat active, indicating the presence of zombies nearby.

If he randomly opened a door and triggered an ambush, perhaps encountering an evolved creature, he'd be done for!

After circling around, he found he couldn't go anywhere.

Or rather, he didn't dare to go anywhere.

Finally, he returned to the main hall and began a thorough search.

After searching for a while, he finally found a metal card in the front desk's control panel, which had been smashed by some heavy object.

He attempted to retrieve the card that was crushed within...

【Ding! Obtained B-rank Engineer Permission Card】

'Another B-rank?'

(Engineer Permission Card: Can open various warehouses and maintenance gates, essential for accessing B3.)

【Ding! Side Mission 3 Complete, City Hall Exploration: 1/1】

Zhao Feng was a bit taken aback by the sudden completion of the mission.

'What's going on? I haven't done anything yet, and it's already finished? Is it that perfunctory? Are they rushing me out that badly?'

Based on the principle of considering the other party's perspective first, Zhao Feng decided to do the opposite.

'Heh~ This Star Sea Survival system has been setting me up from the start. Now that the mission is so easy, they want me to leave? I'm not leaving! I'll just wander around.'

He decided he had to thoroughly search again!

Although there was nothing left to check in the front hall of City Hall.

There was still an exhibition hall inside.

He had initially planned to just take a look, but now he had to increase his exploration level.

As soon as he entered the exhibition hall, the lighting system automatically activated.

This made Zhao Feng subconsciously glance at the energy status of the city's lighting system.

After confirming there was still 1 hour and 48 minutes remaining, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Walking into the exhibition hall, the displays were not of rare artifacts, donated valuables, or relics of some superiors.

The Dalerossians were interesting.

In the exhibition hall built at the city's political center.

They were displaying all the important scientific research achievements that had once driven the development of their civilization.

It was clear that in their civilization's Constitution, technology, or rather, intelligence, was paramount.

After walking a few steps, he was drawn to a display stand with a shattered glass cover.

Looking at the silver cable coiled on the display rack.

Zhao Feng was very curious why this item was displayed in the exhibition hall.

Until...

(Ding! Scanned green quality technological creation: Room Temperature Superconductor 【x1, and preparation literature.】)

(Do you choose to imprint it?)
