A Mere Tier 2!

This formidable firearm, also called the Remington 870, used extremely expensive ammunition.

When faced with this situation, most people would usually choose ordinary firearms or lower-powered guns to finish off their targets, avoiding unnecessary resource consumption. But for Chen Wang, that was not a problem.

Anything that could be solved with money was not a problem.

Chen Wang prowled through the steel high-rise with his gun in hand, moving with extreme agility and reacting quickly. The instant a Zombie showed its head, he spotted it.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Deafening blasts rang out through the steel high-rise.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Wang had blasted apart eight Zombies.

"Are they really this densely gathered here?"

Chen Wang frowned, immediately sensing that something was off.

According to Gao Yanan and that uncle's description, most of the Zombies in the area were scattered, wandering all over the place without any real concentration. Could today be some kind of Zombie holiday?

Chen Wang frowned.

He had only explored this one area and had already blasted apart eight Zombies. The efficiency was extremely high for him.

As a Tier 3 Genetic Soldier wielding a powerful imitation Remington 870, he could simply sweep through this area!

"I'm definitely farming this newbie zone!"

Light gleamed in Chen Wang's eyes as he killed his way to the top floor. Yet the top floor was completely empty, filled with large-scale oil paintings depicting women with wildly exaggerated figures and proportions. There were no Zombies here.

Chen Wang inwardly lamented the waste, then carried his shotgun and jumped straight out of the window.

Boom!

He landed heavily. A drop of five or six meters was as easy as pie for him.

The building was already leaning, after all, so its height was not too outrageous. He wore brand-new Tactical Military Boots and a New Bulletproof Vest worth sixty thousand, with eight powerful grenades hanging from it.

A Desert Eagle rested at his waist, while he carried the Remington 870 in his hand, swaggering through the ruins.

Inside the jeep,

The bald man, Qin Lang, delivered the last mercenary to the designated area, then turned to the driver and said, "That's enough. Now we just wait for news."

The driver was a young man with a crew cut. His arms were packed with solid muscle, with Left Dragon Right Tiger tattooed on them, and Sha Qi lurked between his brows.

He answered in a low voice, "Alright."

He was clearly a well-trained professional fighter.

Qin Lang leaned back in his seat, took out a device, and lowered his head to inspect it. His brows immediately furrowed. "Who's in Area Four?"

After thinking it over, he remembered that Handsome Youth. "Chen Wang is way too fast. He's already killed twelve Zombies!"

Qin Lang raised his brows. Had this kid gone on a killing spree? Normally, most Zombies wandered through their own respective areas. The area he had marked out was huge; sometimes, one could walk around inside for an hour without encountering a single one. Even if Chen Wang was a God of Slaughter, he should not have killed so many Zombies in such a short time.

Qin Lang shook his head. "This kid!"

Chen Wang strode through the desolate ruins steeped in a modern atmosphere, looking utterly relaxed. In truth, all his mental energy was focused.

He had only explored half of his area, yet he had already blasted apart twelve Zombies.

"The mission says that killing twenty Zombies and earning merit from three areas can be exchanged for the Second Order Genetic Potion, Evil Spirit. Isn't this mission a little too easy?"

Chen Wang thought.

But then he reconsidered. Qiongqi Mining would be doing these freelance mercenaries a favor if it did not exploit them. How could it possibly hand out money by the fistful?

"So is the problem with me, or with these Zombies?"

Chen Wang shook his head.

Suddenly, he noticed a figure crouching in the grass, head lowered as it gnawed on something. Its body rose and fell, accompanied by bone-chilling chewing sounds.

The figure abruptly turned around. It was a young woman. She could not be called especially beautiful, but her foundation was fairly good.

At that moment, her face was deathly pale, her hair hung loose and disheveled, and the flesh exposed around her neck was bright red, as though it had been burned. Looking further down, she wore a dress, and the exposed flesh on her arms and shoulders was all that same bright red color, enough to make anyone frown. A corpse lay on the ground beneath her—a rather tall-looking man, completely motionless now, dead beyond all doubt. His chest and lower abdomen had been torn open and eaten clean.

Blood continued dripping from the corners of the female Zombie's mouth. She looked terrifying!

The Zombie suddenly lunged at Chen Wang, moving in an extremely strange manner, using both hands and feet. She was somewhat different from the earlier Tier 1 Zombies.

Chen Wang raised his hand and fired. This modified imitation Remington 870 was tremendously powerful. Boom!

There happened to be a decayed car nearby, its metal shell covered in rust, long since incapable of starting. Scorpions crawled across it. The young female Zombie flashed aside and dodged with extreme agility, and the bullet struck the car instead, blasting it apart. Metal fragments flew everywhere, shooting out in all directions! Chen Wang did not stand foolishly in place. With a light tap of his feet, he darted out as well. As he moved, he raised his hand and fired another shot! Boom!

The bullet burst from the cold muzzle, scattering sparks.

Yet this shot still failed to hit the young female Zombie! "A Tier 2 Zombie reacts this quickly?"

Chen Wang frowned, constantly shifting as he moved.

He was extremely fast. Although this Zombie moved much faster than the Tier 1 Zombies from before, she still could not catch up to Chen Wang in a short period of time. This firearm was immensely powerful; at close range, it was absolutely enough to deal with Zombies.

But Chen Wang's marksmanship had not undergone painstaking training. Most of it came from the Gene Serum.

Thus, when facing an enemy, he lacked adaptability and accuracy against moving targets—especially when this moving target was extraordinarily fast! The female Zombie pounced at him, her hands sharp as blades. As they swept past a decayed steel framework, sparks flew and an ear-piercing screech rang out. Chen Wang was even faster than she was. With a slight turn of his body, he retreated seven or eight meters. At that distance, he suddenly pulled the trigger.

With a thunderous blast, the shot struck the female Zombie directly! Her entire body flew backward, and nearly half her body exploded apart. Yet she did not burst into a mist of blood. Her body twisted across the ground in an incredibly bizarre posture, as though she wanted to stand back up.

Chen Wang did not hesitate. He raised his hand and fired again. With another thunderous blast, her head exploded!

Boom!

Another shot. Chen Wang seized the opportunity and took out the Tier 2 female Zombie in one combo.

His movements were clean and decisive!

"I can't underestimate the Zombies here. A Tier 2 already has such changes in speed. If I run into a Third Order Zombie, then unless I'm close enough, I'm afraid even firearms won't be able to hit it."

Chen Wang thought. But then he reconsidered: the strongest Zombies here only reached Tier 2. Qiongqi Mining was not sending people here to die, so the intelligence should not be wrong.

"Thirteen now. Kill another seven, then go straight back. I can farm experience slowly. There's no need to rush it all at once."

Chen Wang thought.

As long as he left quickly enough, even if there really was some special reason for the Zombie gathering here,

any outbreak would not reach him.
