Formidable Enemy

Lin Zhen killed the last gunman with one shot and let out a long breath.

This time it was extremely dangerous. If I hadn't learned the defensive technique of Immovable as a Mountain, I would have been killed by this guy who didn't even hesitate to attack his own teammates.

This gunman was ruthless and decisive enough. Lin Zhen thought that with enemies blocking his way, the gunman wouldn't have much of a chance to use his skills, but he didn't expect him to be so merciless.

"It seems that it's always good to be prepared."

Lin Zhen put away her gun with lingering fear and glanced at the three enemy corpses on the ground.

The entire battle here lasted no more than thirty seconds, but Du Yanhu and his group were very close and would probably arrive soon.

Lin Zhen originally wanted to stay and capture Du Yanhu and Zhang Huai in one fell swoop, but he saw more than a dozen figures appearing from all directions from the window.

The sound of the Metal Storm attracted a lot of attention. Those who remained in Zhaodong Ketu desperately searching for Lin Zhen's whereabouts. It was unlikely that they would start a war with each other before encountering Lin Zhen. No one wanted to withdraw prematurely from this huge battle involving 3 billion yuan. Preserving their strength was the most important thing.

Therefore, once a battle breaks out, it's usually because Lin Zhen and other martial artists clash, which is why these people arrived so quickly.

Some people didn't even care about the Mutated Beast chasing them; they all rushed in this direction at full speed.

"What a bunch of money-grubbing bastards! Looks like we can't stay here any longer. Anyway, with the city locked down by heavy snow, nobody's leaving. Let's just have some fun."

"Zhang Huai, Ouyang Yu, I'll let you live a little longer."

Lin Zhen didn't linger. He jumped out of the back window, flew about a meter above the ground, and quickly disappeared into the alley.

He hadn't been gone for ten seconds when Du Yanhu and his men rushed up.

When they saw the mess inside the small building, they were all stunned.

"Old Wang and the other two are all dead!"

Du Yanhu examined the corpses and quickly drew a conclusion.

"Old Wang and Old Meng were killed by Lin Zhen, and Old Li was shot to death by Old Wang. What were these three doing? Why did they kill each other instead of killing Lin Zhen?"

Du Yanhu stomped his foot angrily, and Zhang Huai reminded him from behind, "Captain, let's retreat first. It seems like a lot of people are coming."

"What are you afraid of? They're all here to kill Lin Zhen."

Just as Du Yanhu finished speaking, people began to arrive one by one.

In less than five minutes, the number of people inside had exceeded thirty.

There are now over a hundred martial artists in Zhaodong County, most of whom are searching for Lin Zhen, and most of them haven't arrived yet.

One of the pale-faced men stood in the crowd with his hands behind his back, not carrying any weapons, but the Space Ring on his hand indicated his wealth.

Moreover, this person's strength has reached the level of Level Eight War General, making him the strongest among those present.

At first, the martial artists were quite noisy, but they immediately quieted down after the pale-faced man arrived.

"Brother Wolf."

"Hey Brother Wolf, it turns out you're in Zhaodong too."

"Haven't seen Brother Wolf in a long time. He's almost at the God of War God level, right?"

Many martial artists who knew him greeted the pale-faced man, including Du Yanhu and his group.

Wolf Tianxiao, Level Eight War General with Heavenly Speed, is considered a top figure among General Level martial artists in the Base City. When he was a Level Seven War General, he fought against a Junior God of War god without being at a disadvantage. When he was Level Eight War General, he killed that War God in one fell swoop, causing a sensation.

Wolf Tianxiao was also accompanied by a dark-faced man, who was 1.9 meters tall, very strong, and also an Level Eight War General with Heavenly Strength. His name was Yang Lie, who was Wolf Tianxiao's sworn brother. He was taciturn but had amazing strength.

The two of them go out to hunt Mutated Beast, never teaming up with others; the two of them are enough.

Wolf Tianxiao glanced around at everyone present, finally fixing his gaze on Du Yanhu: "You guys ran into Lin Zhen?"

"Uh, it wasn't me who encountered it, it was my teammate. It was the three dead people on the ground."

Wolf Tianxiao Howl glanced at the three dead Beginner War General and sneered, "Useless!"

"You've all seen this Wilderness Hunt Order. A bounty of 3 billion is offered for Lin Zhen. Although it was posted anonymously, everyone knows who posted it. After all, this matter has been making headlines for quite some time. I, Wolf Tianxiao, am fair and never use my power to oppress others. Whoever kills Lin Zhen will receive the 3 billion."

People breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Many were genuinely worried that Wolf Tianxiao would lose his temper and try to monopolize the wealth. If everyone relied on their own abilities, then everyone would have a chance. After all, no matter how strong Wolf Tianxiao and Yang Lie were, it would be useless if they didn't encounter Lin Zhen.

"However, let's get this straight: if many people encounter Lin Zhen at the same time, anyone who dares to challenge me, Wolf Tianxiao, for a fight will face my ruthlessness!"

As he spoke, Wolf Tianxiao casually slashed, and a hole was immediately torn out of one wall of the room by his claw. It was not round or square, but five deep grooves, like a huge claw mark!

Keep in mind that Wolf Tianxiao was quite a distance from the wall, yet he unleashed such power with a casual strike from a distance. Who could withstand that?

"Yang Lie, let's go!"

Wolf Tianxiao did not linger there, but quickly left with Yang Lie.

After Wolf Tianxiao left, the remaining martial artists reached a tacit agreement: each would kill Lin Zhen based on their own abilities, and they would not fight each other before encountering Lin Zhen.

The martial artists gradually dispersed, and the news spread quickly. After all, many martial artists had companions in Zhaodong, and through mutual notification, people knew that Lin Zhen was nearby.

One by one, the martial arts teams sprang into action, emerging from their hiding places. While battling the Mutated Beast, they relentlessly searched for Lin Zhen's whereabouts.

Due to the impact of the Blizzard, there is currently no signal in Zhaodong, and no internet access is available, making communication between martial artists very inconvenient and reducing the efficiency of their search.

At this moment, the only person who could contact the outside world was Su Na, who was in the news Interview Vehicle.

Su Na has already compiled a post and published it online.

The post was titled. " In the Zhaodong Wilderness Area, a 3 billion yuan bounty is offered to hunt down Lin Zhen. Who will bring this hero to his death?"

The post caused an immediate sensation online.

Due to the Blizzard, all the martial arts teams stationed outside are currently out of contact. Some of the more vigilant teams, sensing something amiss with the weather, have already returned to their Base City, or gone to nearby satellite cities, or even to Supply Station.

However, in Zhaodong, the city with the highest concentration of martial artists, not a single one has returned.

At first, people thought that these martial artists stayed to watch the excitement because many people were challenging Lin Zhen, but now they realized that it was because of the bounty.

The news caused an uproar online.

"No wonder, no wonder! I was wondering why that spoiled brat Li Tianhao dared to challenge Lin Zhen. So that's what he was planning. Even though the bounty was anonymous, there's no need to investigate. It was definitely Li Tianhao who instigated it."

"So what? Martial artists are always fighting each other. Li Tianhao has been challenging Lin Zhen for many days now. Lin Zhen went to the Wilderness Area to accept the challenge. It's perfectly normal for Li Tianhao to use some tricks. The person upstairs is so naive. Did they travel from the Anno Domini Era era?"

"It's over! This time it's absolutely over. No matter how strong Lin Zhen is, those martial artists are ruthless when faced with 3 billion. Li Tianhao is definitely no match for Lin Zhen in a one-on-one fight, but what if Lin Zhen gets ganged up on by a group of War General?"

"Li Tianhao is shameless! I support Lin Zhen's chances of a comeback!"

"A comeback my ass! You think this is a fairy tale?"

"Weren't they unable to contact people in Zhaodong? How come they can still post things?"

"Didn't you see that this was released by the News Bureau? They have Interview Vehicle and radar signals."

"We strongly urge you to continue updating the post; we need to keep an eye on the situation in Zhaodong."

The post quickly garnered over 10,000 comments, demonstrating the significant impact of the event.

The person who posted the message, Su Na, also clearly stated that the News Bureau would definitely follow up on this matter and let everyone know the progress of the matter as soon as possible.

Regardless, no one can interfere with what's happening in Zhaodong now. The Blizzard has not only blocked the roads but also the signals, so no one can give orders or influence the people there. Whether Lin Zhen can escape this calamity depends entirely on himself.
