Blood Hand Reappears

Lin Zhen looked at Su Na and Gao Feng: "Thirty billion, aren't you tempted? How about you kill me and collect the reward? Don't doubt the authenticity of the Kill Order. These kinds of orders aren't issued casually. They're bound by the unspoken rules of the martial arts world. You can't gain a foothold in the martial arts circle if you don't pay the bounty."

Gao Feng's expression changed twice, but then he gave a wry smile.

Su Na showed no unusual reaction, and pouted. "I can't do it. Neither of us are martial artists, so it's best not to get involved in this kind of thing."

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Lin Zhen nodded secretly.

Su Na clearly didn't care much about the huge sum of money, and Gao Feng was also a self-aware person. This was for the best. If they dared to get greedy, Lin Zhen wouldn't mind leaving them here forever.

However, Li Tianhao's move was ruthless enough. Su Na and Gao Feng were unmoved because they simply did not possess such an ability, but other martial artists would not think that way.

What "Ice City First Warrior"? He's just a Warrior Level martial artist with some strength. Can he withstand a few War General attacking at once?

Nothing is more important than money; Lin Zhen understood the mentality of martial artists all too well.

Li Tianhao's timing was also very precise. Now that the heavy snow has blocked the roads, Lin Zhen is also unable to leave Zhaodong. As a result, any martial artist encountered in the entire Zhaodong Area could become Lin Zhen's enemy.

"It seems I need to break through to the General Level as soon as possible, but War General will take some time. With Zhaodong in crisis everywhere, where is the safest place to break through?"

After the group finished eating, Gao Feng and Lin Zhen tried their best to block up any drafts in the room, and then the group huddled together in a corner of the room.

Although there was no wind indoors, the temperature was extremely low, reaching minus twenty degrees Celsius, and both Su Na and Gao Feng were freezing.

"Why don't you go back to the car?"

"We dare not come out. There are Mutated Bird outside. If there wasn't nowhere to cook in the car and the car hadn't been stuck after hitting another abandoned vehicle, we wouldn't have come out."

Lin Zhen nodded. Although it was safe to go into the car now, it wouldn't be warm inside, and a car that couldn't move was no different from a piece of junk.

"Wait a bit, it's too late now. Let's go out together tomorrow. I'll help you push the car out. Once it's started, it should be able to move."

"Are you coming with us?" Su Na asked excitedly.

"I'm not going with you, and you'd better not follow me either; it's dangerous."

Su Na didn't say anything more, but because it was so cold, she couldn't help but squeeze closer to Lin Zhen.

Left with no other choice, Lin Zhen had to find some discarded door panels and other similar items inside and light them to warm the room a little.

Anyway, no one will be going out on this snowy night, so it's safe for now.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, as the wind and snow continued to rage, Lin Zhen left the small building with Su Na and Gao Feng.

Sure enough, several mutated sparrows attacked when he went out, but Lin Zhen easily took them down one by one with a single shot.

Arriving at the two cars that had collided, Lin Zhen found that the snow on them was more than a foot thick. After clearing away the snow, Lin Zhen managed to push aside an abandoned car that was blocking the road.

Su Na and Gao Feng boarded their Interview Vehicle, a modified tank designed to ensure the safety of reporters outside. The tracked design allowed the vehicle to travel on snow.

Of course, the snow was very heavy, making it very difficult to walk. It took Su Na and Gao Feng a while to start the car.

"Lin Zhen, the car's started. Get in. Where are you going?"

Su Na poked her head out and called out to Lin Zhen, but found the surroundings empty and there was no sign of Lin Zhen.

Su Na wanted to go down and search, but she soon saw another Mutated Bird not far away, which frightened her so much that she quickly shrank back.

Gao Feng said, "What do we do now? Although our vehicle is good, the snowstorm is too heavy right now, and it's not realistic to go back to the Base City."

"Hmph! Then we won't leave. We'll search right here in Zhaodong. I refuse to believe we can't find Lin Zhen. Someone wants to kill him this time. Martial artists are always fighting to the death. There's bound to be a battle. We must get the information this time. Come on, let's get the recordings we made earlier and release them."

"Should we release it now?"

"That's right, I want to show the outside world how Lin Zhen beats those who tried to assassinate him to a pulp," Su Na said confidently.

Gao Feng gave a wry smile, "Young Miss, I'm afraid it won't be that easy. Although we are weak, I know how powerful that 3 billion is. I'm afraid that right now, apart from the two of us, all the martial artists in Zhaodong want to kill Lin Zhen. I think he's in big trouble this time."

"Shut up! You're not allowed to curse my idol. I believe Lin Zhen will definitely win!" Su Na gestured with her little fist at Gao Feng, a typical brainless fan's stance.

"Okay, you're the host, so whatever you say goes. I'm just in charge of filming."

********

Just as Su Na was preparing to seek justice for Lin Zhen, Lin Zhen had already left the neighborhood.

Lin Zhen's encounter with Su Na and the others was just a minor incident; he had much more important things to do.

Even without other matters, Lin Zhen wasn't the type to hang out with girls. As a reborn person, Lin Zhen knew what was most important.

Amidst the swirling snow, Lin Zhen walked along the edge of the street.

Along the way Lin Zhen occasionally encountered Mutated Beast. In this kind of weather, although Mutated Beast would not appear in large groups, as Zhaodong Martial Artist Graveyard, the density of Mutated Beast was still higher than that of Yilan, and their levels were not low either. Lin Zhen's progress was not fast.

With a single thrust, a giant, pure white pangolin fell to the ground beneath Lin Zhen's spear.

"Phew! The seventh one. In less than an hour, we've encountered seven C-Rank Mutated Beast, one B-Class one, and killed more than twenty D-Rank ones. If it weren't for the tight schedule, Zhaodong would truly be a treasure trove for making money."

With his Mental Power, Lin Zhen could easily dodge dangers. As long as he didn't encounter any flying or agile A-Rank Mutated Beast, he wouldn't be in much danger.

After skinning the pangolin and packing it away, Lin Zhen heard footsteps approaching from afar.

"Someone's coming!"

Lin Zhen leaped up, and the Liquid Metal transformed into a small shield. He rode on the shield and flew straight towards an abandoned building next to him.

Lin Zhen entered through the window and hid silently, her eyes fixed on the street.

The people from over there arrived quickly; there were six of them in total.

The leader, wielding a long Long Sword, was none other than Du Yanhu, the captain of the Blood Hand Squad of the Dragon Slayer Martial Hall.

He was surrounded by four teammates, including Zhang Huai, and even Ouyang Yu was following behind them.

The group of people headed straight for the spot where Lin Zhen had just killed the monster, clearly alerted by Lin Zhen's earlier fight.

Zhang Huai strode forward, glanced down at the dead, skinned pangolin, and immediately said to Du Yanhu, "Captain, this pangolin was killed by Long Spear; it must be Lin Zhen."

Du Yanhu looked down at the pangolin. "Are you sure?"

"I'm absolutely certain. I was stabbed by Lin Zhen's Long Spear before. I'll never forget that kind of wound. Captain, this kid really is in Zhaodong. We can't let others beat us to it. We have to get our hands on those 3 billion."

"That's good. The pangolin's blood is still warm, which means Lin Zhen is nearby. He probably hid when he saw us coming. Search him thoroughly, make sure you find him!"

The Blood Hand Squad members were extremely excited. Lin Zhen had actually come! The Blood Hand Squad had a chance to get revenge, redeem themselves, and make a fortune!
