Chapter 59 The Peerless Garlic 13

Pan Feng waved the large axe as he cleared the way forward. Feng Bujue followed behind him and used the Winchester for provide support fire whenever necessary. The BW Zombies came from all directions, but once they got close enough to cause a threat, there were none that were not cut down.
The Anomaly was surprised by this situation. It had thought that it could easily maintain its distance at the edge of the two GM's detection circles, but it did not anticipate that one of the GMs would charge directly toward it, and the one accompanying him was another player and not a GM. Furthermore, the two's speed was a lot faster than it had anticipated.
Not only the Anomaly, even Pan Feng had a new appreciation of Feng Bujue's ability. He knew how difficult it was for a low-level player to keep up to a GM while calmly dealing with the endless horde of enemies. Pan Feng knew about the effect of the Jazz Shoes because he could inspect the player's equipment and skills from his menu, but he did not think that any other player in Feng Bujue's position would be able to replicate what the man was doing easily.
Feng Bujue maintained his calmness and accuracy throughout this journey, and that left a deep impression on Pan Feng. This was a camaraderie that was only possible when fighting side by side against the endless assault of monsters.
Along the way, Feng Bujue never once missed his shot. He would always target the closest monster, the one that posed the biggest threat. He understood his own marksmanship ability; as long as the trigger was pulled, he was never going to miss. He never tried to aim for a flashy headshot and would choose the most appropriate spot and angle to fire at, so he wasted no ammo.
With the cooperation from Feng Bujue, Pan Feng's pressure was greatly decreased. Initially, he had still minded the BW Zombies that rushed at them from the sides, and he had been worried that Feng Bujue would be killed the moment he let his guard down, but after travelling for a while, he realized that his concern was unfounded. Not only could Feng Bujue take care of himself, he was able to provide assistance whenever necessary.
With such perfect, almost machine-like cover shots, Pan Feng was able to focus to deal with the monsters coming from the front and did not need to worry about exposing his back. Therefore, the duo mowed through the city quickly, and this caused the Anomaly to have to pick up its speed.
The pursuit lasted for twenty minutes, and they came to a stadium. The anomaly stopped moving after it escaped into the building. It looked like Ashford's Mutant was hiding around that area.
"It's as I expected, the venue selected was this kind of large building," Feng Bujue said. He had already put on the Eyes of Hostility, and he carried the Winchester in his arms. The space that he had cleared in his inventory was used to pack ammo.
"Fine, we've guessed another thing correctly." When Pan Feng spoke, he turned around to look at the streets outside of the stadium. Even though they had left the hoard of monsters some distance behind, this place would be heavily surrounded in time. At the same time, Hwa Xiong and Xiao Tan arrived.
It was Feng Bujue's idea for them to split into two groups. When the Anomaly entered their detection range, they put his plan into motion. Pan Feng and Feng Bujue slathered the blood over their bodies, and as they chased after the Anomaly, they also drew the aggro of the general mob.
Hwa Xiong and Xiao Tan departed three minutes later. Even though GMs could not detect the real time coordinates of the monsters, they could detect the coordinates of the players, so Hwa Xiong was able to lead Xiao Tan calmly down the route that Pan Feng and Feng Bujue had taken earlier. By then, all the mobile BW Zombies would be following the trail of blood. Those that remained would be those that were incapacitated by Pan Feng or Feng Bujue.
This arrangement was for Wang Tanzhi's benefit. If all four of them moved together, Xiao Tan might not be able to keep up. Even if he was, it would be a great burden on his Stamina Points. Plus, when they were ambushed, regardless of the team arrangement, Xiao Tan would be an exposed weakness.
The other problem of moving in a group of four was that there would make no difference which of them put on the shower of blood. The sense of smell for BW Zombies would increase tenfold at night, and even if they just ran past, they would be able to attract their aggression. But now, with them separated into two groups, based on the target priority written into the monsters, they would head toward Feng Bujue and Pan Feng first. That way, Hwa Xiong and Xiao Tan would be able to work their way through the city without exhausting many Stamina Points. They would meet up at the location where the Anomaly lay in ambush and start the fight.
Furthermore, going in groups was much faster than them staying together, and it was also relatively safer. If there were any accidents, it would be Feng Bujue who died. Pan Feng, even though he was alone, would not be killed by those monsters so easily.
The second step of this plan would initiate after they reached the Anomaly's ambush location; it was to stop the hoard of BW Zombies.
"They're getting close," Pan Feng said. He could check the players' coordinates, so he knew better than Feng Bujue about Hwa Xiong and Xiao Tan's location. "Thankfully, the monsters haven't gathered yet."
As he spoke, he waved the axe in his arms, slaughtering the BW Zombies that were lunging toward them.
"That is within the calculation. Splitting up is faster than moving in a group, and the chance of us being surrounded during the process is much lower." As Feng Bujue answered, the gun continued to fire, and he felled one monster after another.
Not long after that, ten meters away, Hwa Xiong showed up. The spear in his hand flashed, and the shadow of the spear slithered its away around like a dragon. Cutting his way through the hoard, he led Xiao Tan toward Pan Feng and Feng Bujue.
They fought as they retreated to the entrance of the stadium. Standing on the steps that were ten meters up from the ground, they fought against the BW Zombies that were gathering.
"The Anomaly's coordinates put it inside the stadium behind us," Pan Feng said. "Based on Brother Feng's prediction, the Mutant should be inside there as well."
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Hwa Xiong asked.
"It is too late to turn back now," Feng Bujue replied. "If I wanted to give up, I would have done so when the Anomaly showed up within the detection range earlier. I'd have had the two of you lead the mob away, and me and Xiao Tan would have found a corner to hide in. Since we've already decided to join the fun, of course we'll stay to the end."
"That's right—there is no way back for us anymore." Xiao Tan did not appear that nervous or afraid anymore. He stood on top of the stairs and looked down at the black shadow that was rushing at them like a wave lit up by the moonlight. Surprisingly, he felt weirdly calm. In those few seconds, he had a sudden understanding of how those soldiers on their final stand felt. On the battlefield, when you saw an army that was twenty times or even two hundred times stronger than yours, showing weakness would not help the situation.
"Then, let's do this," Pan Feng said.
Xiao Tan squatted next to the entrance and took out the explosives that they had found earlier. He placed them out the ground and pulled out the wire. They had scrounged the city for the whole afternoon, and this was the strongest explosive that they could find. There was only one, and the item was not that powerful. It was not going to be of much use to injure the boss, but it was just powerful enough to use in this situation.
"I'm ready!" Xiao Tan said.
The four of them retreated into the stadium. After they had run far enough away, the explosives were detonated. Following the boom, the entrance collapsed, and the rubble temporarily blocked the entrance, stopping the approach of the hoard of BW Zombies outside the stadium.
