Survive for all and get a D-class simulator

Ranged attacks are safer, but sooner or later, Lin Ye would encounter opponents that ranged attacks couldn't handle.

He couldn't wait until then to start thinking about solutions.

‘Melee combat is dangerous, but I have the advantage of simulation, allowing me to practice melee in simulated missions.’

‘Moreover, these D-level veterans each have their unique skills, and each simulation is a learning process.’

The physical body and spirit influence each other. Each time Lin Ye simulates, he brings back something akin to muscle memory to his real body, so melee combat isn't exactly a weakness for him.

‘As for runes, perhaps I can create some melee techniques that combine with runes, like this kind of movement. Although I can't achieve this level, quickly moving in front of the enemy doesn't seem difficult...’

Lin Ye pondered while killing the Chatterboxes. It's a pity there's no spiritual energy here, otherwise he could have used these Chatterboxes to try and create new skills.

But even without spiritual energy, Lin Ye was trying to kill the Chatterboxes faster and more easily. Often, melee combat requires instinct more than brains.

As the explored area increased, Lin Ye discovered that this base was essentially a prison for D-level personnel. Most of the facilities were prepared for D-level personnel. It was unknown how the anomaly was triggered.

The entire base was circular, divided into three areas: the confinement area, the functional area, and the office area. The confinement area occupied half of the circle, while the other two areas each occupied 1/4.

Lin Ye was currently between the confinement area and the functional area, facing a metal gate.

Due to the anomaly, all access control systems had failed, so the biggest problem for Lin Ye now was when to open the door.

No one knew what awaited after opening the door.

The previous corridor only required closing the door. This was the second door Lin Ye needed to open in this simulation.

‘I hope I don't encounter something as dangerous as Instant Death. At least give me some reaction time.’

Glancing at the time, Lin Ye opened the door.

Behind the door was a very familiar shelter. Without thinking, Lin Ye slammed the door shut.

‘What a cheap knockoff, not even daring to replicate the Abyss Gate, still trying to fool people?’

Lin Ye opened the door again. Behind the door was a normal base corridor, with many corpses on the corridor. At the end of the corridor was a heavy machine gun.

“Don't move! I'll shoot if you move!”

A guard pointed his gun at Lin Ye.

“Friendly fire, don't shoot.”

Lin Ye raised his hands. They were in the same boat now. If he could get help from the guard, things would be much easier.

“…You're a D-level personnel? How did you get out?”

Jim looked at Lin Ye suspiciously, especially at Lin Ye's blood-soaked right hand.

“Of course, I fought my way out. I killed those monsters. Listen, we're all in the same danger now. I don't want to die, so I can only come out to help. I'll help you close those doors, so we can resolve the anomaly here as soon as possible.”

Lin Ye stood to the right, so the other person could see the corpses of the Chatterboxes in the corridor.

“If I could kill you but didn't, can that prove…

I'm not hostile?”

Lin Ye whispered the second half of the sentence in Jim's ear.

“Ah!”

Jim was startled, but he didn't overreact.

“…Okay, I'll trust you for now. What should we do now?”

“Do you know what caused the anomaly?”

Lin Ye asked.

If they could solve the root problem, they wouldn't have to keep closing doors.

“I don't know. I'm just a guard, but the captain took the others to close the doors. The higher-ups ordered us to close all the doors.”

Jim replied.

“Then can you contact your captain?”

Lin Ye continued to ask.

“No, ten minutes ago, I could still receive messages from the group, but in the last ten minutes, no one has said anything in the group, and no one replies to my messages.”

Jim's tone wasn't very good. Obviously, he already had some bad assumptions.

That's why he cooperated with Lin Ye so readily, because he didn't know what to do anymore.

“Let's go.”

Lin Ye glanced at the heavy machine gun, signaling Jim to push the machine gun and follow.

“Where are we going?”

Jim asked subconsciously.

“Of course, we're going to solve the anomaly. Don't worry, I'm a D-level personnel, and my specialty is solving anomalies.”

Lin Ye walked towards the functional area, letting Jim push the heavy machine gun behind him.

All the doors in the functional area were closed. The captain had completed his task very carefully.

Only the office area and the other side of the confinement area remained.

The two entered the office area very smoothly. Although they passed through several doors on the way, the doors on these passages were open, obviously deliberately left as escape routes.

Lin Ye closed all the doors after passing through. The office area was connected to the passage for leaving the base. They didn't need to return here anymore.

Entering the office area, they unexpectedly found that the doors in the office area were also closed, leaving only some passage doors unclosed, and finally only the confinement area remained.

The door between the office area and the confinement area was closed. Without even thinking, Lin Ye knew there was a problem behind the door.

But he still opened the door.

The moment he opened the door, Lin Ye thought he had opened a passage connecting to other areas again, but he saw familiar Chatterbox corpses among a large number of corpses.

Behind the door were piles of strangely shaped alien corpses. The prison cells on both sides of the corridor had been leveled, and the ground was covered with dark green soil.

The air contained a faint amount of spiritual energy, and the suppression of mental power was reduced.

“Captain?”

Jim picked up a half-torso corpse leaning against the door. Judging from the position, it seemed that this captain had closed the door before he died.

Shadows flickered in the depths of the corridor, and the bright lights flickered slightly, the rhythm resembling the breathing of some creature.

Lin Ye quickly absorbed the spiritual energy in the environment. Although the organization's captains also had strengths and weaknesses, he didn't think he was much stronger than the captain right now.

He didn't want to die as tragically as this captain.

Jim nervously aimed the heavy machine gun at the depths of the corridor, his tense finger on the trigger, ready to unleash firepower on the appearing monster.

Lin Ye concentrated his mind and tried to inscribe runes in his body. The degree of alienation of this body was very low, and he didn't know if he could succeed.

Just as the two were on guard, a black shadow flashed past. Lin Ye subconsciously took a step to the side, but the shadow's target wasn't Lin Ye.

Jim's headless body fell to the ground. Until his death, he hadn't been able to pull the trigger.

With no time to mourn for Jim, Lin Ye rushed behind the heavy machine gun and pressed the trigger to the end, aiming at the direction where the black shadow retreated.

Da da da da da da da da da…
