West Sixth Ring Road.
Zhang Heng's team was hiding on a rooftop.
As a logical person, Zhang Heng had a sharp mind. After discovering the zombies had collectively evolved, he immediately left the city.
Where to go?
West!
This coincided with Qin Feng's thoughts.
About a hundred kilometers west lay the Yan Mountains.
Fewer people in the deep mountains.
Fewer zombies too.
Without facing hordes of zombies, one could put themselves in danger to hunt scattered ones.
Zombies were less active at night.
And so,
Last night, under the cover of darkness, the group cautiously moved and finally reached West Sixth Ring Road.
They were waiting.
Waiting for darkness tonight before making their move.
To traverse areas densely populated with zombies.
Progress would be slow and required constant vigilance.
Based on their pace, tonight they would break out of the dense zone, enter the suburbs with fewer zombies, and then head directly for the Yan Mountains.
Seven people.
Taking turns to rest and stand guard.
Suddenly!
Liu Xiaohui's eyes widened!
He saw a guy strolling down the street below, as if it were nothing.
Was he crazy?
Wasn't he afraid of being discovered by zombies?
"Can such an idiot survive until now?" He couldn't quite believe it.
"Roar!"
A roar echoed.
Two wandering Level 2 zombies lunged at the figure.
"Easy prey."
The man carried a canvas bag on his back.
He sneered.
Raised his hand.
The next moment, an incredible scene unfolded!
The aluminum alloy lamppost by the roadside suddenly contorted, transforming into two javelins.
*Thwack!*
Before the two zombies could even get close, their heads were pierced.
Impaled on the outer wall of a street-side building.
Instant kill!
"This..." Liu Xiaohui was stunned into silence.
Their captain was Level 2.
But compared to this person, the gap was enormous; this person was definitely Level 3!
"Hold still!"
Suddenly!
Zhang Heng, who had been asleep, woke up at some point.
He looked wary. "This kind of expert... it's best not to interact. If they have malicious intent, we're finished!"
"I understand." Liu Xiaohui nodded solemnly.
"Big Brother!"
Just then.
Zhang Tianbao jumped up and shouted down, "Big Brother... can I come with you? You'll be my real brother from now on!"
*Pfft!*
Zhang Heng almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
This scoundrel!
He had said the same thing yesterday when they saved him.
"You dog!" He gritted his teeth in hatred.
"Someone?"
He Ming looked up.
Before the nuclear blast, although he was an explosive engineer, which sounded impressive, he was actually...
just a worker!
Taking orders from the boss.
Listening to the client.
His monthly income was only a little over ten thousand.
After the nuclear blast, he had fled to the suburbs. He only sneaked back into the city because he discovered the secret of the crystals.
He wanted to use his professional knowledge to become stronger and no longer be at the bottom!
In the workplace, the dark side that had been suppressed was now released. He craved flattery the most.
He wanted to be obeyed by everyone!
He wanted to become the king of this world!
Before long.
He Ming arrived on the rooftop.
Whether it was Zhang Heng or the others in the team, they didn't want any interaction with He Ming.
Of course, except for Zhang Tianbao.
But now...
The opponent was too powerful, and they didn't dare to flee.
"Alright, follow me from now on!" He Ming said, head held high, with an arrogant expression.
"Brother, we..." Zhang Heng wanted to say they didn't want to follow him.
"Follow me, and you'll have good food and drink!"
He Ming's eyes flashed with immense ambition. "The whole world will be ours!"
Was he crazy?
Zhang Heng found this guy too arrogant!
He Ming unslung the canvas bag from his back.
He unzipped it.
A rustling sound followed.
Indeed!
It was filled entirely with crystals!
Level 1.
Level 2.
There were several hundred of them!
"These!"
He casually grabbed a handful of crystals and stuffed them into Zhang Tianbao's hand. "Consider it a meeting gift from your big brother!"
Zhang Tianbao was the first to declare his loyalty to him.
Therefore, he considered Zhang Tianbao the leader of his first batch of followers.
Zhang Heng was dumbfounded.
They hunted zombies every day, and they still didn't have enough crystals.
This guy...
Where did he get so many crystals?!
At this moment.
His mindset, which had been unwilling to associate with the other party, began to waver significantly.
"Thank you, Big Brother!"
"Big Brother, you are my reborn parent!"
"From now on, if Big Brother tells me to go east, I will never go west!"
Zhang Tianbao fawned over He Ming, resembling a dog wagging its tail.
But!
After flattering He Ming, he subtly glanced at the teammates who had been bossing him around.
You scoundrels!
Just you wait for my revenge!
...
Da Xia Live Stream Room.
Numerous vomit emojis flooded the chat.
—'I really can't stand it! If I could go to the apocalyptic planet, the first person I'd kill is Zhang Tianbao!'
—'How can someone be so shameless?'
—'You call this trash a human?'
—'But... this He Ming is truly amazing! Where did he get so many crystals?'
The entire broadcast was viewed from the perspective of an adventurer.
Before encountering Zhang Heng's team, the viewers had no idea how He Ming obtained the crystals.
They only knew...
His ability was similar to Magneto's.
Control over metal.
Similarly, Zhou Haiyang had metal armor, which was far inferior to He Ming's.
Of course,
Early stages didn't mean much.
The strength of an esper was largely determined by later comprehension.
—'If this guy met Brother Feng, who would be stronger?'
—'Definitely my Brother Feng!'
—'Nonsense! This guy has extremely strong attack power, and he's a long-range attacker. Qin Feng wouldn't be able to get close.'
—'Haha... Qin Feng is doomed if he meets him! (Korean text)'
—'Nima si mi da!'
—'Your whole family si mi da!'
Millions of Da Xia netizens enthusiastically sent their regards to the Korean trash.
—'Look! Something's happening with Qin Feng over there!'
...
There were seven rings in Shangjing.
West Seventh Ring Road.
Qin Feng was crouched atop an overpass.
He quickly poked his head out to look down, then retracted it.
Indeed!
A zombie horde was advancing on the road beneath the overpass.
In the center was a Level 4 mutant.
Surrounding it...
Were five to six hundred zombies!
The Seventh Ring was part of the city, but the population wasn't excessively dense.
Therefore, he decided to hunt in this vicinity.
He had arrived last night.
Rested for one night.
This morning, he 'officially started working'. In only half a day, he had already killed two hundred zombies.
However...
He knew there were mutants in Shangjing.
But he hadn't expected a mutant to appear in the Seventh Ring, which wasn't densely populated.
"Captain, should we go for it?"
Zhou Haiyang asked excitedly in a low voice.
"Not do it..."
Qin Feng grinned, a strange smile on his face. "How could that be?"
The problem was how to do it!
The mutant was in the center of the zombie horde.
There were zombies in front, behind, left, and right.
If he jumped down from above to attack, even if he could kill that mutant...
He would immediately be surrounded by countless zombies.
Was his speed fast?
Useless!
The road was completely blocked by dense zombies, leaving him no escape route. He would be instantly submerged by them.
"Wang Shouyi, Han Ling, stay behind. Everyone else, get off the elevated road!"
In this kind of surprise attack, Wang Shouyi couldn't accompany him; he had no self-preservation ability.
Han Ling had other uses.
The two of them and the bird scrambled out a distance, then quietly rappelled down the overpass.
"Haiyang!"
"Birdy!"
Qin Feng issued the command. "You two split up and lure away the Level 2 zombies!"
Zhou Haiyang, with his physique rewards, was no slower than zombies.
Although Birdy was a bit slower.
It had the Wind Tornado,
which could prevent the zombies from catching up.
On the elevated road.
Han Ling maintained a position roughly level with Qin Feng below the overpass.
She shouldered an important task.
