David is in danger!
Stephen had no time to rest, charging directly towards the cries for help! Although David wasn't a teammate, and Stephen wasn't obligated to be responsible for his life, since Stephen had promised to safely bring him out of Daegu Station, he had to keep his word! Even in the dark jungle law, one cannot stop looking for the light of humanity!
[System Announcement: Reincarnator DF389452 has been eliminated by a Reincarnator.]
A line of crimson text floated before Stephen's eyes! Stephen's scalp tingled! No way? That fated fatty, he…
[System Announcement: Reincarnator VS987234 has been eliminated by a Reincarnator.] [System Announcement: Reincarnator IH763466 has been eliminated by a Reincarnator.]
Another two lines of crimson text floated before Stephen's eyes! Three Reincarnators died at once? And all were killed by another Reincarnator? It looked like Dan was sacrificing his subordinates to save himself!
"Help! Bro! Help! I'm not dead yet! But I'm close!" David's cries continued. Stephen subconsciously let out a huge sigh of relief! David wasn't dead yet! Stephen took a deep breath and rushed over quickly.
At this moment, David was being chased by a dozen ferocious zombies. Those dozen zombies were led over by Jin Changwoo. After Jin escaped from the TDX Train, he originally wanted to rely on Dan and his group, but Dan was like a headless chicken, bumping around aimlessly, with no clue. Moreover, what was even more terrifying was that whenever it came to a critical moment, Dan would grab his subordinates and throw them into the zombie horde to buy time! Jin Changwoo realized Dan was not a good person, so he found an opportunity to escape.
Unexpectedly, as he ran, he happened to see David. Seeing that David couldn't run anymore, Jin deliberately led the zombies chasing him towards David! This way, the zombies wouldn't turn to attack him, and he could take the opportunity to escape. What a well-thought-out plan!
Originally, this was nothing; everyone could just run together. However, to ensure his own escape, Jin Changwoo actually deliberately pushed David! David fell heavily to the ground, scraping his knee, and was in too much pain to get up for a long time. The zombies were about to catch up!
Jin Changwoo stammered, "Sorry, buddy, you're so heavy you won't be able to outrun them anyway! Just, just obediently die here!"
"Damn it!" David clutched his knee, shouting in despair, "Bro! Hurry and save me!"
Jin Changwoo frantically ran towards the garage—over there, the Train Conductor had already found a suitable locomotive, and the whistle had already blown! As long as he boarded the locomotive, he could escape this cursed place!
The dozen zombies roared as they pounced on David. The one in the lead opened its pale teeth and fiercely bit towards David's tender neck!
Pfft!
A cold glint flashed! The leading zombie's head was directly chopped off! David was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes, "Bro! I knew you wouldn't abandon me!"
Stephen had no time to bother with David, stepping forward to protect him, the A-Grade Blade in his hand flitting up and down like a butterfly among flowers! Ten consecutive slashes! All the zombies in front were killed!
"Holy cow!" David shouted excitedly, "Bro! So you're this strong! You're so cool! From now on, I'll follow you for good!"
Holy crap! Don't… Let's just part ways after this one time! I can't carry you!
Stephen frowned, "David, why aren't you leaving yet?"
The zombies in Daegu Station are endless! At least five trains full of zombies had already stopped here, and there were even more zombies outside the station. Once the zombie horde gathered, there would be no escape, even with wings!
"Leaving now!" David struggled to stand up, grinding his teeth in annoyance, "I never thought that Jin Changwoo would be so evil! Damn it, he ran ahead of me—"
No sooner had he spoken than a burning train suddenly rushed into Daegu Station! Jin happened to be crossing the tracks, his foot caught in the intersection of two tracks, unable to pull it out! The burning train was rolling directly over him! Jin shrieked in terror, "Mommy—!"
Boom boom boom boom!
The burning train directly crushed Jin into pieces, then heavily crashed into the TDX Train! The two trains then derailed and exploded! The entire Daegu Station trembled with a rumble! The zombies inside Daegu Station and outside the station were all attracted! The ultimate zombie horde was forming!
David trembled with lingering fear, "If Jin hadn't pushed me, it might be me who got hit by the train and died right now…"
That's right. David, you really have nine lives.
Stephen pulled him up, "Don't just stand there, hurry up and go!"
The two bypassed the burning train and rushed towards the garage. At this time, Seok-woo and the others had already boarded the locomotive, and even the weak Sang-hwa had been helped onto the train. A squad of zombies was approaching the locomotive!
Seok-woo shouted, "Stephen! Hurry! Hurry!"
Stephen casually cut down a few pursuing zombies, then accelerated towards the locomotive with David. Suddenly, a strong gust of wind came from above! Stephen reacted quickly enough, immediately spinning to dodge!
Clang!
A half-meter-long wrench was thrown down from the roof of a nearby car, smashing heavily at Stephen's feet! Before Stephen could see clearly, a dark figure leaped down from the roof, grabbed the wrench, and fiercely smashed it towards Stephen's head!
Stephen had no time to dodge, quickly using his A-Grade Blade to block!
Clang!
The immense force made the A-Grade Blade clang loudly, vibrating non-stop! Stephen couldn't hold on, and the A-Grade Blade flew out of his hand! Stephen was also directly knocked back several steps by this overbearing force! His blood and qi surged!
It was… Dan!
Stephen gasped for several breaths, trying to calm his wildly beating heart. David next to him was also stunned, "Bro…" The A-Grade Blade was out of his hand; this battle was likely to end badly!
Stephen calmly said, "David, you go first, I'll handle this."
David's facial muscles tweaked slightly, as if he had made a very difficult decision… then he turned and ran!
David, you… ran in the wrong direction again!
Dan sneered, "A cowardly waste, let him run if he runs, but as for you, I can't let you just run away like that."
Stephen said coldly, "You've already killed the other Reincarnators. As long as you board the locomotive, you can complete the third mission and then clear the dungeon to leave. Why do you insist on killing everyone?"
Dan said smugly, "A rookie like you naturally wouldn't understand! Blame it on your performance being too eye-catching. Don't you know that the early bird gets shot? If I kill you, at least half of your performance score will belong to me. When I clear this dungeon, my score will be at least S-rank."
Stephen sneered, "So, that's how your big brother got to where he is?"
Dan scoffed, "That's right, trash like you are just stepping stones for us. The essence of this world is big fish eating small fish, and small fish eating small shrimp. We might not be big fish, but eating small fry like you is no problem!" With that, Dan suddenly swung the wrench, delivering a series of combined chops and smashes! His strength was immense, and his speed was not slow either!
Stephen's footwork changed, dodging continuously! Several times, the wrench grazed his hair! Fortunately, Dan was only holding a wrench, not an A-Grade Blade! Otherwise, with the combat power bonus of the A-Grade Blade, Stephen would have been dead long ago! Dan wasn't that he didn't want to use the A-Grade Blade; it was just that the A-Grade Blade was Stephen's weapon. According to system rules, weapon equipment could only be picked up and used by others after the owner actively traded it or after the owner was killed!
Dan grinned sinisterly, "Stephen, your speed is good, but you don't have a weapon now, you're dead!"
A fierce, cold glint flashed in Stephen's eyes, "That's not necessarily true… You know that David is on my side, right?"
Dan scoffed, "That cowardly waste? Didn't he just run away?"
Stephen sneered, "Don't you think the direction he ran in just now was a bit off?"
Dan's expression suddenly changed!
