Chen Wang cornered the Car Thief in the alley, then dragged him out by the neck.

This was a thug commonly seen in the Winter, covered in tattoos, with his neck covered in graffiti. He was being dragged out by Chen Wang, who was grabbing him by the neck, and he was completely powerless to fight back.

Moli angrily kicked him, yelling, "You dare steal my car!"

The thug felt as if a steel band was tightly gripping his neck.

The kick from the beautiful woman in the Cheongsam opposite me didn't hurt.

"Grandma, I was wrong! I was out of my mind. I had such bad luck today, I almost stole a car that was hiding a dead person. I felt it was too unlucky, so I thought I'd steal a nice car to bring good luck!"

The man quickly explained.

Theft, robbery, murder—these thugs are capable of any evil.

Stealing cars is commonplace for them, but it's relatively rare for them to go directly to the entrance of a bar to steal them.

Because you're unsure if you might steal a Gene Warrior and then get targeted and killed.

Moli couldn't help but kick him again in a fit of anger, yelling, "You bastard!"

Although Moli was like an angry lioness, she was not very strong.

Seeing that the thug didn't react, Moli couldn't help but go up and slap him again.

To everyone's surprise, the thug actually showed a hint of enjoyment, though he did try to hide it, but Chen Wang and Moli noticed it.

Chen Wang's lips twitched. Is this why I don't dare to hit him, afraid he'll enjoy it?

A look of disgust appeared in Moli's eyes.

Chen Wang gripped his neck with one hand and said coldly, "You just said you stole a car that was used to hide a dead person?"

The thug immediately forced a smile and said, "Yes, yes, there's a dead body hidden in the back of that car, motionless in the trunk!"

"Just as I was about to make my move, the main culprit returned, carrying a gun. He didn't look like a good guy, so I got scared and ran away."

The thug explained.

He shouldn't have said anything, because Moli overheard him and got even angrier. "Does he think I'm easy to bully?!"

It's not uncommon for people to commit murder and hide bodies in the Winter, but this thug stole a car near a bar and found a car like that.

Chen Wang suddenly had a thought, "What clothes were the dead people you saw wearing?"

The thug thought for a moment and said, "It looks like a suit, covered in grease."

Upon hearing this, Moli immediately calmed down and frowned deeply.

The Zombies that suddenly appeared on the street was wearing a suit and covered in oil stains.

"Was that Zombies something someone else brought in the trunk of?"

The thought involuntarily popped into Chen Wang's mind.

Moli said, "Are you sure he's dead? He didn't move when you opened the trunk?"

The thug glanced discreetly at Moli's curvaceous figure and explained, "That's right, I thought there was something valuable in it."

Chen Wang frowned. "Why did you steal the car and open the trunk?"

The thug, covered in tattoos and looking extremely fierce, said with a forced smile, "I heard some noise behind me and wanted to go check it out, but there was nothing there except a corpse. I must have misheard."

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow. At this point, he could basically conclude that someone had brought a Zombies into the Shelter earlier, and for some reason, the Zombies did not attack the car thief immediately.

Chen Wang asked in a deep voice, "What did the driver of that car look like?"

The thug recalled for a moment and said, "He was about 1.8 meters tall, looked very fierce, and most importantly, his eyes made people very uncomfortable."

At this moment, Chen Wang gripped his neck tightly with tremendous force.

In order to get away as quickly as possible, he told everything he knew in detail, "By the way, that man's eyes were like those of a venomous snake, very cold and sinister."

"And..."

Chen Wang said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense, and what else?"

The thug immediately said, "I felt like he noticed me, but he just ignored me."

Moli frowned.

Chen Wang released the rioters.

The tattooed man rubbed his neck, making a few clicks, and then without hesitation, took a step back, drew his gun, and pointed it at Chen Wang and his companion.

"Robbery! Damn it, you think you can bully me just because you're strong!"

"You kneel down for me, and you too, little girl, get over there and stick your ass up!"

The thugs of Winter are mostly like this: cunning, ruthless, and also capable of endurance.

He rubbed his neck, which was still throbbing from Chen Wang's grip, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light. "Kid, let's see if your fist is faster or my gun is faster!"

The modified gun in his hand had a high rate of fire; it could empty its twelve-round magazine in an instant.

But the next moment, with a snap! He saw his own back.

Chen Wang snapped his neck! "The villain dies from talking too much."

Chen Wang took the money out of the man's pocket, but the man was dirt poor. So Chen Wang casually tossed it aside, like throwing away a tattered sack, and left the man in a corner.

He took his pistol in his hand.

"Modified guns?"

Even as she watched someone die right before her eyes, Moli's expression remained calm.

She was just a little angry earlier because she had lost face in front of Chen Wang.

Killing people is not uncommon for the people of Winter, especially for someone like Moli who runs an arms business.

Moli suddenly said, "I think I know who that person is."

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow at her. "How did you know who it was?"

Moli smiled and said, "We just got a new commission: to capture someone, a member of the Church's Adjudication Team, Kui She. This person's description sounds a lot like him."

"The Adjudication Team?" Chen Wang frowned.

The next moment, he said, "The task is to capture him? What's the reward?"

Moli explained, "It's a cash reward of 200,000 yuan, officially announced."

Chen Wang immediately lost interest; the cash reward held no appeal for him.

He had dealt with the Church's Adjudication Team before; they were all relatively powerful Tier 3 members.

A cash reward of 200,000 is quite reasonable.

After all that commotion, Chen Wang lost his mood. He politely declined Moli's invitation to come up for a chat and they each went home.

After driving back to his residence, Chen Wang poured himself a glass of water and drank it all in one gulp.

"Bringing Zombies into the Shelter does indeed seem like something those crazy guys from the Adjudication Team would do."

Chen Wang thought to himself.

Chen Wang was curious about how he managed to keep the Zombies so quiet in the trunk. "What special Genetic Ability does he have, or does he have some unknown methods?"

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow.

If the reward isn't 200,000 yuan in cash, but involves Gene Serum, then Chen Wang is very likely to participate as well.

However, the cash reward held no appeal for Chen Wang.

"I came to the bar to relax, but I didn't expect to run into this mess."

"A woman should never be slept with twice; it's bad luck."

Chen Wang shook his head.
