While Luke was working as fiercely as a tiger, the old man finally replied, “There’s no time. If you can, come and help! F*ck, go to hell! Hurry up, we have to kill them before we can #$%…”
The communication was cut off.
Luke frowned but wasn’t angry.
Although the old man and the blonde were weird, they hadn’t done anything to hurt ordinary people, but were focused on killing the undead.
Also, they were under a strange restriction and couldn’t reveal certain classified information. The battle was very intense, and the fact that they had the time to ask for help at all was already pretty good.
Of course he had to help! Luke had only asked to confirm that the strange phenomenon on Staten Island had something to do with the undead.
Now, it seemed that his guess was correct.
In this period of time, his clone had traveled more than 30 kilometers from Queens to the southwest corner of Staten Island in the Big Dipper Armor.
But something even more disturbing happened.
An enormous vortex slowly opened in the sky above the center of the ring of vortexes.
It didn’t stop growing from the moment it appeared. Black clouds split open to reveal a pitch dark space inside which flashed with thunder and lightning inside, and black shadows started to pour out of it.
From his high vantage point, Luke could clearly see what was in the center of the ring of vortexes on the ground.
The old man and the blonde were fighting a group of undead.
At that moment, the old man suddenly unleashed his might and charged at the large number of undead not far away. The two big toy bananas in his hands glowed nonstop as they instantly pierced a hole in the undead’s defense.
At the same time, the blonde darted out, and the toy banana in her hand shot out a… toilet plunger?
Just like that, the plunger shot through the hole created by the old man and stuck to a two-meter-tall golden trapezoidal pillar.
The blonde stepped onto a tree stump, grabbed hold of the rope that extended out of the tip of the toy banana, and started to pull on the plunger.
The face of an undead near the golden pillar changed drastically as he yelled, “No!”
But it was too late.
It was as if Luke could hear a pop as the plunger pulled a cross-shaped component off of the golden pillar.
This cross had only been placed in a slot in the golden pillar, and wasn’t really fixed to it.
At the same time, the vortexes around them suddenly slowed down and shrank at a visible rate.
The gargantuan vortex in the sky stopped turning, and the spreading black cloud quickly receded until the pitch-dark space was covered up once more.
Now that it was over, the old man smiled and yelled, “Hayes, you’re finished!”
With that, he unleashed the power of the “bananas” in his hands, and fired several more blue bullets, killing the stunned undead around him.
The undead called Hayes was clearly the leader. He grinned hideously and suddenly raised his head. “Come down, fellas. Let us reverse the passage to the afterlife again! Ah -”
Blue light flashed and he was hit in the head.
Shocked, Hayes screamed and exploded into grayish-black smoke. He was finished for good.
This chain of events didn’t take long. From the moment the little old man demonstrated his prowess, to the moment that the blonde used the plunger, and the old man killed the undead leader, everything had taken less than five seconds.
Luke finally arrived. From 100 meters away, he fired his golden bullets at the thirty or so undead in the center of the battlefield.
Even as he heaved a sigh of relief, he was also a little depressed. He had been just one step behind, d*mn it!
The blonde was really quick! She didn’t even give Luke a chance to earn some contribution points!
He was certain that if he had arrived a moment earlier to help the blonde to pull out the cross, he would have gotten at least a 20% contribution rate.
But he had no chance now.
The old man and the blonde had basically done everything.
Thinking that, he looked up.
The old man and the blonde on the side, as well as a heavily wounded woman, also raised their heads almost at the same time.
There was a clamor in the air which was approaching them swiftly.
Alfred instantly projected an image of dense red dots, packed together in a thick solid line, which was shooting down from where the large vortex had been.
At the same time, Luke could already vaguely make out human figures in the shadows.
“Deados! The Deados at the very front have already come out of the passage to the afterlife.” The old man was depressed.
“What are you afraid of? I’ll kill all of them.” The blonde’s expression was calm, but she also showed deep helplessness.
Although the Deados that had charged out before the door of the afterlife closed was an insignificant portion, there were still thousands of them.
There were only two of them; they wouldn’t be able to finish killing all the Deados with the bullets they had.
This bunch of Deados had clearly received an order from Hayes before he was blown up. They were to charge down and take back the divine artifact of the afterlife, reopen the door, and reverse the flow of souls.
The two people had worked so hard for so long, but they still couldn’t escape the fate of failure. This outcome was too outrageous!
Luke glanced helplessly at the two on the ground. Godd*mnit, the old man was speaking that alien language again.
When he saw the horde of undead descending, however, his mood was completely different from the other two.
Such a large number… of experience and credit points was great! The professional hunters on the ground clearly didn’t have the ability to continue, so the 700 or so dead ghosts were all his.
Taking a deep breath, Luke ordered the armor’s A.I. program, Polaris, “Come, play a BGM at max volume!”
“What song would you like, sir?” asked Polaris.
“Hm, show me the sound effects. Basic sound effects, drums and bells… Hm, that’s it.” In less than two seconds, he picked the song.
Looking at the undead in the sky that were 500 meters away, he murmured, “From today onward, I’m going to be a man with my own BGM! Nobody can defeat me when my BGM is playing!
“Evil spirit, have a taste of my fist!” he shouted in fluent Chinese. The auxiliary propulsion system on his back activated, and dazzling flames shot out in a straight line in the air as he charged at the group of undead.
The old man, the blonde, and the injured woman were all stunned.
The loud and heavy sound of a bell along with a drumbeat rang out in the air, and an equally loud voice rapped words which they couldn’t understand: “The supreme edict, supreme lonely souls, all ghosts and charms, four lives with grace…”
