Amid a wasteland of steel ruins, the cold wind made the twisted metal creak and groan.

Rumble!

With a thunderous crash, the rotten steel ruins collapsed in on themselves!

A tall figure burst out, leaping seven or eight meters in the blink of an eye!

He was a tall, Handsome Youth, carrying an imitation Remington 870 shotgun in his hand.

Chen Wang spat. "This damned place couldn't take a shake. One shot and the whole building came down."

He had just blasted a zombie to death. He had not expected the shotgun to be so powerful, nor the building to be so decrepit, and had nearly been buried inside.

Chen Wang had now reached the designated second area. He had killed seventeen zombies in the first area and originally thought he could complete the quota of twenty zombies here.

Yet after circling around for a while, he found no trace of any other zombies.

Not long after arriving in the second area, he had discovered a zombie hiding among the steel ruins. Chen Wang's five senses were exceptionally sharp, and before long, he found another one. This zombie had bulging muscles on its arms, wore a black fitted vest and yellow camouflage pants, and had clearly once been a professionally trained soldier.

Its face had been bitten into a bloody pulp and was now nothing but rotten flesh. Sensing the aura of a living person, it lunged at Chen Wang! Chen Wang's aim was now better than when he had first entered. He raised his hand and fired. Boom!

Sparks flew everywhere! The zombie was blasted in half at the waist. Another shot shattered its head! Only one more to reach the quota of twenty.

Chen Wang thought to himself.

Yet the deeper he went into this area, the more uneasy he felt. The zombies were appearing far too frequently. He had thought they were all gathered in the first area, but in less than ten minutes after entering the second, he had encountered two more! Don't tell me I'm unlucky enough to run into a Third Order Zombie!

If that happens... they'll have to pay more.

Chen Wang thought to himself.

But he was now a third-order Gene Soldier, a Hell Commando.

He had also injected Second Order Genetic Potion, Eagle Eye, and several types of first-order Gene Serum. Combined with this pay-to-win set of equipment, he was extremely confident in dealing with a third-order zombie.

Chen Wang walked about half a kilometer deeper in when a figure suddenly sprang out of the grass. He had been prepared. With a light turn of his body, he appeared ten meters away, raised his hand, and blasted the zombie's head apart with one shot! "That speed is only that of an ordinary Tier 2 zombie."

Chen Wang shook his head.

He vaguely sensed that if he continued deeper inside, he might really encounter a Third Order Zombie.

But Chen Wang was extremely decisive. Now that he had completed the quota, he immediately sent Qin Lang a message and carefully retreated outward.

The quota has been completed. Continuing to explore would only create unnecessary trouble.

Chen Wang thought.

As he retreated, he unexpectedly spotted a figure from behind while passing through the first area. From the silhouette, he could tell it was a woman—tall, with a pair of Long Legs.

She was probably even taller than Chen Wang. She wore a camouflage uniform and carried sophisticated equipment that looked fairly new.

Chen Wang frowned. "By rights, I should be the only person in this area."

This was Qiongqi Mining's territory.

Under the rule of the Three Great Powers, no faction would dare clash with an official force.

Chen Wang considered it briefly. Rather than go up and greet her, he silently changed direction. Yet at that moment, the tall woman in the distance suddenly turned around! From behind, she had looked quite good, with a perky ass and a pair of Long Legs.

But when she turned her head, Chen Wang's brows furrowed deeply.

The woman had no face—or rather, her face had been sliced away by some sharp weapon, exposing bright-red flesh. Her gums were laid bare, making her look utterly horrifying! "Fuck, it's a zombie!"

Chen Wang cursed under his breath. The next moment, the woman charged toward him.

She carried a sharp curved blade that glinted with cold light.

She moved at least twice as fast as the Tier 2 zombies Chen Wang had encountered before! The distance of three hundred meters vanished in the blink of an eye, and she seemed to run along some peculiar trajectory. For a moment, Chen Wang's gun could not lock onto her at all! "A Third Order Zombie!"

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow.

He had not expected an unexpected twist to arise just as he completed the mission!

Chen Wang did not hesitate. He had never heard of a zombie that could use weapons—not even a Third Order Zombie! The tall Female Zombie swung her curved blade and charged at Chen Wang. She even seemed to possess some instinctive knack for evading firearms, which surprised Chen Wang greatly! This time, he did not rely on the Remington 870 in his hands.

Instead, he formed a hand seal, and a blazing fireball shot out instantly! This Female Zombie's footwork was extremely slippery; Gene Warriors with average marksmanship could not hit her at all.

But Chen Wang's Fireball Technique was different. It locked onto her Qi Aura.

This was a genuine immortal cultivation spell.

Boom! The faceless Female Zombie actually slashed at Chen Wang's fireball with her blade.

But the Fireball Technique could melt gold and dissolve iron, and its power was immense.

The moment her blade touched it, nearly half the weapon melted away. Yet the fireball did not lose momentum and slammed directly into her face!

However, after being weakened by that slash, the Fireball Technique did not melt away her head. Instead, it burned her already mangled face, making that horrifying visage even more terrifying! Roar! The Female Zombie let out a shrill, miserable growl.

In the next instant, she pounced at Chen Wang again, even faster than before! But what greeted her was another fireball from Chen Wang. This time, it struck her face directly, and her head vanished in an instant! If one Fireball Technique could not finish her, then two would.

The headless corpse still charged forward on sheer inertia. A zombie's body possessed tremendous vitality. Chen Wang raised his gun and pulled the trigger. An icy bullet erupted from the muzzle. Boom! With a deafening blast, a deep hole was punched through the Female Zombie's body.

Yet she was still not dead. Her body writhed ceaselessly on the ground, a chilling sight to behold.

Chen Wang did not let his guard down. He had no desire to be walking along someday only for this crippled body to come running out from somewhere and grab him.

He cautiously raised his gun.

Bang! Bang! Bang! He thoroughly blasted the Female Zombie's body to pieces. Only then did she finally fall completely still.

Under such indiscriminate firepower, nothing valuable remained on her body.

Chen Wang frowned. "This place really is dangerous."
