Bai Ye

Chen Wang smiled faintly and took the communicator from his coat, setting it on the table along with the bronze plaque. "This man suddenly attacked tonight. I killed him. This communicator should be able to locate his companions."

A young man from Qiongqi Mining's Enforcement Team beside him explained, "The man's identity has been confirmed. He was Jiang Wei of the Church."

The Brawny Man raised his brows. "Jiang Wei?"

He looked at Chen Wang again, and his gaze changed slightly. "You're a Tier 3 Soldier?"

Chen Wang smiled faintly, taking out the identification badge issued by Qiongqi Mining and his mercenary license. "I came here to file a report. Don't tell me I'm going to be suspected instead?"

The Brawny Man shook his head. "I was just asking."

As soon as he finished speaking, he handed the communicator to the young man beside him. "Have the technical department analyze and locate it immediately."

The young man's eyes lit up. "All right!"

He turned and left excitedly, hurrying toward the Enforcement Team's technical department. Devices like this communicator all had tracking systems, but with Jiang Wei's skills, ordinary enforcement officers would find him difficult to handle. He was an expert. No one had expected him to be killed by this Handsome Youth.

The Brawny Man said in a deep voice, "My name is Wang Zheng. If the information you provided is real, there will be a reward."

Chen Wang shrugged. "All right."

He was extremely calm. He had lived in the Shelter within the Qiongqi Wilderness all along. Since the Church was stirring up trouble, it was far better to expose them to the official forces than to fight alone.

Inside a dilapidated house, a middle-aged man frowned. "Jiang Wei still hasn't returned, and he hasn't replied to any messages. Something has most likely happened. We can't wait any longer."

As soon as he finished speaking, he prepared to lead his men away.

But the surroundings were terrifyingly quiet. Years of combat experience made him keenly sense that something was wrong. "Be careful!"

The instant he spoke, cold gunfire rang out. A tremendously powerful shot shattered the window and blew apart the upper half of a young Church member's body at the same time!

The Sniper Rifle's power was immense. The young man's upper body turned directly into a mist of blood and mangled flesh. Dense gunfire erupted—rat-a-tat-tat! Sparks flew everywhere, accompanied by specially made grenades. Boom! Boom! In an instant, their stronghold was bombarded by concentrated firepower. First-order soldiers merely possessed improved physiques and certain special abilities.

But when faced with these large-scale modern weapons—especially specially modified firearms—the Church members were quickly suppressed.

Other than the middle-aged man, every one of them was injured! An earthy yellow glow flickered around the middle-aged man's body.

It could temporarily block the damage from bullets. He charged out while braving that glow. Rumble! A terrifying sound tore through the air.

A massive black iron chain crashed down heavily, carrying horrifying force!

The man looked up. The earthy yellow light around him grew immensely dense and blocked the black iron chain. At the same time, he did not take the blow head-on; instead, he rolled away with the momentum. His experience was indeed abundant. He raised his head slightly and looked toward the Brawny Man standing atop the high wall amid the ruins.

One of his mechanical arms hung at his side, and a heavy black iron chain rested in his hand.

"Wang Zheng!"

The middle-aged man let out a low growl from his throat, like a wild beast.

Wang Zheng, the Brawny Man, sneered. "You rats living in the sewers deserve to die!"

The middle-aged man said coldly, "I am a believer of God. Qiongqi Mining will suffer the same disaster as Apocalypse Armaments."

Wang Zheng burst into unrestrained laughter. "You fanatical believers, Apocalypse Armaments has already begun its counterattack. The Shelters occupied by the Church should have been retaken by now. You are abandoned pawns."

The middle-aged man's face darkened as he raised his gun and fired.

Rat-a-tat-tat! Flames burst from the cold muzzle!

The iron chain in Wang Zheng's hand shook rapidly, like a living steel python, smashing every bullet out of the air.

Boom!

His feet crashed heavily onto the ground, stamping out two deep pits!

Wang Zheng smiled coldly. "Tearing you apart today will be just enough to answer to the higher-ups."

Whoosh! The iron chain swept across the air, streaking with light like a huge chopping blade! This middle-aged man was a Tier 3 Soldier of the Church. The yellow glow covered his entire body again, and he became like a stone statue. Clang! A Great Bell Chime rang out as the iron chain struck him, yet it only knocked off a few stone chips.

Wang Zheng did not mind. Earth Mutants possessed extremely high defense. He charged in with the momentum, and his steel arm came smashing down with a rumble! Clang! Clang! Clang! The sounds echoed through the entire building! Many Tier 3 elite soldiers from the Enforcement Team rushed inside, slaughtering the Church believers who had infiltrated Qiongqi Mining.

The Church's forces could carry out sabotage, but in a head-on clash, they were absolutely no match for forces like Qiongqi Mining.

In less than half an hour, all of the Church believers had been killed, and Wang Zheng smashed the middle-aged man's head apart.

Earth Mutants had high defense but were slow-moving. Against a Tier 3 Soldier with a Steel Body, they were at a severe disadvantage.

When Wang Zheng returned to the Public Security Bureau, he saw the Handsome Youth.

His smile grew somewhat friendlier. "I looked over your information. You're very wealthy."

Chen Wang smiled. "These days, the bolder you are, the faster you make money."

Wang Zheng nodded slightly and smiled. "You certainly are bold, daring to reveal the whereabouts of the Church's remnants."

Chen Wang sneered. "They're nothing more than sewer rats."

Wang Zheng froze for a moment, then the corner of his mouth curled upward.

"You suit my temperament. Qiongqi Mining's reward will be issued to you tomorrow. You can come to the Public Security Bureau to collect it then."

Chen Wang raised his brows. "What reward?"

Wang Zheng said, "One hundred thousand in cash."

Chen Wang thought for a moment. "You know I don't lack money. Do you have a Third Order Genetic Potion?"

Wang Zheng was startled, then burst out laughing. "Kid, have some peanuts. Don't just drink."

Chen Wang: "..."

As Chen Wang prepared to leave, Wang Zheng suddenly called out to him. "Interested in joining the Enforcement Team?"

Chen Wang waved his hand. "Not interested."

After he left, the brawny Wang Zheng rubbed his chin, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes. "A Third Order Genetic Potion... could it be that he isn't Tier 3?"

He could not help but sigh. "A second-order soldier killing a third-order one—and Jiang Wei at that, whose Close Combat abilities were exceptionally outstanding. This young man is interesting."

After Chen Wang left the Enforcement Team, he glanced back. To be honest, he was quite interested in this official organization.

But once he joined an official organization, he would no longer be able to disappear whenever he pleased, so he could only give up on it.

Suddenly,

He turned his head and saw several people in research uniforms hurrying through the Public Security Bureau.

The man leading them wore gold-rimmed glasses. He was a middle-aged man who looked somewhat refined.

With Chen Wang's eyesight, he could easily make out the identification nameplate on the man's chest.

"Bai Ye."
