Chapter 30: Chapter 29
### Eight Hours Later
Eight hours had passed, with only two hours remaining until the mission's end...
Bang!
A gunshot rang out from the rooftop of the police station.
A zombie on the street below had its head blown off.
"You have killed a zombie. Current mission progress: 117,692/10."
Hearing the system notification, Chen Ye showed no expression. He took out a white pill and swallowed it before continuing to aim his rifle.
The white pill was erythropoietin, a type of banned drug that temporarily boosts stamina and endurance.
Chen Ye's stamina was nearly depleted; this was the second pill he had taken.
At this moment, all that was left beside Chen Ye was his sniper rifle.
The over two hundred high-explosive grenades he had previously used were all gone.
Even the tens of thousands of rounds of automatic rifle ammunition had been exhausted.
The results were substantial.
Chen Ye had killed over a hundred thousand zombies, truly mowing them down.
By now, Chen Ye was completely numb.
He continued to pull the trigger purely out of an obsession with completing the mission.
Suddenly.
As Chen Ye was aiming at a zombie, he heard a thud behind him.
It sounded like something heavy had landed on the rooftop of the police station.
Chen Ye immediately abandoned his shot and turned around.
Behind him stood a young man who had just steadied himself.
The young man held a riot shield in his left hand and a black blade in his right, his eyes fixed on Chen Ye.
Seeing the blade, Chen Ye immediately recognized the young man.
It was the reincarnator with a D-level rating!
"I've been watching you for a long time!"
The young man raised his shield defensively against Chen Ye's sniper rifle and spoke, "You've killed quite a lot of zombies in these past few hours!"
Chen Ye remained silent, coldly staring at the young man.
There was no panic on his face.
Chen Ye wasn't surprised that a reincarnator had come looking for him.
The huge commotion he had caused at the police station could be heard across the entire city. It was normal for a reincarnator to come looking for him.
Seeing that Chen Ye didn't respond, the young man smiled faintly and continued, "Don't worry, I mean no harm."
"I came here to propose an alliance… I know you wouldn't want to share your rewards after killing so many zombies. But rest assured, you won't be at a loss. You've heard of the global top 100 rankings, right? The 97th-ranked 'One Leaf Autumn' is my uncle. He cares for me deeply, and this blade was a gift from him after he defeated Zoro in the 'One Piece' world."
"My uncle has many other powerful items. If you agree to form an alliance, I'll give you a powerful special item after this mission."
After hearing the young man's words, a look of surprise appeared on Chen Ye's face.
Someone capable of defeating Zoro was only ranked 97th in the top 100? It seemed that the top experts in the global rankings were indeed formidable!
As for the young man's proposal, Chen Ye didn't believe a word.
Finally, Chen Ye spoke up.
He asked calmly, "What happened to your previous allies?"
The young man's expression darkened at this question.
Chen Ye was clearly questioning his character.
Nevertheless, the young man kept his composure and replied, "The zombies in this world are incredibly strong. We were surrounded, and I was the only one who managed to escape."
"How can you guarantee that if we form an alliance, I won't end up like your previous allies, dying an untimely death?" Chen Ye said with a smile. "Maybe after forming an alliance, I won't die at the hands of zombies but rather at your hands."
Being questioned directly by Chen Ye, the young man's face twitched.
However, his true intention was to form an alliance with Chen Ye and then find a way to ensure Chen Ye died in an 'accident,' allowing him to claim all the zombie kills and receive a high mission rating.
This tactic was feasible in the Reincarnation Space!
"You're overthinking it."
The young man pretended to be sincere, "Allies can't harm each other… I've also killed quite a few zombies. If we form an alliance, we can both get a high rating, which benefits both of us. Plus, you'll gain my uncle's friendship."
Chen Ye shook his head at first, then suddenly nodded and said, "Alright, we can form an alliance. To show your sincerity, give me that blade you're holding."
Hearing this, the young man finally dropped his facade...
