Don't Be a Traitor

In the Winter, at Qiongqi Mining, Chen Wang appeared in his Big Villa.

After spending some time in the Cultivation World, he missed the place in the Winter Winter, and there were some things he needed to take care of back there.

Chen Wang stretched and changed into a Winter outfit, looking quite casual.

He went to the garage and drove his modified Jeep toward the office building.

The office building was guarded by soldiers, and there were no ordinary people within a three-kilometer radius.

It is a key military location.

After Chen Wang arrived, he took out his commuter card and quickly went inside, where the sentry saluted him.

He belongs to the management team, and it's rare to see a leader like him who works sporadically.

After entering the building, Chen Wang swiped his ID card to go up to his office.

A spacious and bright office, with leather sofas and marble floors.

It exudes an aura of authority.

Especially the interior decoration of the entire office building, the demeanor of the people coming and going, the patrolling sentries and guards—all of them exuded official authority, a sense of power.

After Chen Wang arrived, he was quickly informed of some news. "My secretary is dead?"

Chen Wang looked bewildered.

That was the secretary that Old Wang had assigned to him. Although Chen Wang didn't usually use her, he was still quite surprised to hear the news.

The person who informed him of this news was an extremely capable middle-aged woman.

His surname is Song, and he is an administrative staff member.

She explained to Chen Wang that Zombies outbreak had occurred in an Apartment Building a couple of days ago, resulting in many deaths. The authorities sent people to suppress it, and his female secretary happened to live there and died in the riot.

Many of the residents of that apartment were government officials or members of chambers of commerce, considered elites in Winter, yet they all perished in that attack.

"How's the Zombies outbreak going while I was away from the Shelter?"

Chen Wang asked.

"It has already been suppressed. After investigation, it was found that it was done by the Church. They secretly brought in Zombies," said the middle-aged woman surnamed Song.

"It's someone from the Church again!" Chen Wang frowned.

After asking a few simple questions, he allowed the woman to leave.

Soon, a knocking sound came from the door.

"Come in."

Chen Wang said calmly.

A voluptuous woman with large breasts and a shapely bottom walked in and complained to Chen Wang, "Captain, why do you always disappear without a trace and can't be contacted?"

This woman had extremely alluring eyes; she was none other than the beautiful female instructor, Yan Zhi.

"Going to work is annoying enough, why do you come to me to complain as soon as you start work?" Chen Wang said.

Yan Zhi said helplessly, "Brigade Captain, you find it annoying that you only come here once in a while?"

"I've run myself ragged, but there are some things I still need you to make decisions about."

Chen Wang asked, "What is it?"

"The first thing is that I found another person to join the team. Because of the permissions you gave me, the review was approved quickly. However, you still need to come and meet him in person to decide if he is suitable."

"Another thing is that Zombies outbreak has occurred in a town, and it's quite a big problem. There are level three Zombies. The authorities want us to handle it. I'd like to ask for your opinion."

Yan Zhi was quite diligent in her work.

In contrast, Chen Wang seemed more like a hands-off manager; he leaned back in his office chair.

"The person you've chosen is fine, but feel free to bring them over if you want. It'll be a good opportunity for you to get to know them."

"As for your second matter, do you have detailed information?"

"The information provided by the authorities is not very accurate. The hospital I went to last time caused quite a bit of trouble."

Yan Zhi nodded and handed a document to Chen Wang: "This is the information about that town. Captain, take a look first, and I'll call the person over for you."

Although Chen Wang granted her a lot of authority, she was, after all, just a vice-captain, and originally belonged to Apocalypse.

Compared to Chen Wang's freelance work, her status as someone who defected is actually more sensitive.

There are some things she cannot overstep her authority on, so she wanted to consult Chen Wang about the mission.

For them, there is an urgent need to do some tasks to prove their worth, and also to earn some merit.

After all, not everyone is as well-off as Chen Wang.

Chen Wang looked down at the document.

This town is called Jinming Town. Before it became ruins, it had two or three thousand people.

What makes this town special is that there is a chemical plant located there.

Before the Winter, many chemical plants seemed to have conducted some research in secret, so if the Zombies outbreak occurred in a chemical plant or biochemical plant, such a place would be extremely dangerous.

Chen Wang glanced at the information and found that the owner of the chemical plant was surnamed Sun, and was the CEO of a group company.

I don't know why they invested in a chemical plant in the small town.

"Perhaps it's a case of false advertising."

"It's interesting that Third Order Zombie outbreak occurred in such a place."

Chen Wang took a closer look. He had already sent people to suppress the unrest after it broke out, but the effect was not good. This was because a Third Order Zombie had appeared inside. Third Order Zombie are very powerful, and without Gene Warrior of the same level and heavy firepower, it was not very effective to deal with it.

"Zombies are lurking around the chemical plant. What's there?"

The team Chen Wang assembled was no ordinary team; the captain had extremely high authority, and only Old Wang could directly command him.

Because it's linked to headquarters, this also involves some special talent development programs and operational plans. Of course, if Old Wang wants to use this team, he can; he has the authority to do so.

However, Chen Wang was one of his own, and he was unwilling to forcibly requisition Chen Wang's team when Chen Wang was not around, as it would give him a sense of distrust.

While Chen Wang was reviewing the documents, Yan Zhi walked in with a thin man.

This person had a rat-like face and a very sleazy appearance. He also had a mouthful of yellow teeth and was missing one of his front teeth.

Even Chen Wang was momentarily stunned upon seeing such Gene Warrior.

"His name is Yang Jun, a third-tier Earth Dragon. He originally served in Apocalypse and later joined Shengda, where he worked as a freelancer for a period of time."

Yan Zhi said.

Chen Wang couldn't help but glance at him a couple more times.

The long-haired, weasel-faced man chuckled, "Well, that's how it is, but now I realize that the reason I've been so lost is because I haven't found anyone worth following!"

He stared intently at Chen Wang, then pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and offered one to Chen Wang. "Captain Chen, no, Brother Chen, from now on I will follow your lead and be devoted to you!"

Chen Wang took it, but didn't pull it out. He held it in his hand, turned to look at Yan Zhi, and said, "I just said I trusted your judgment, but now I'm a little hesitant?"

Yang Jun, the weasel-faced man, was immediately stunned.

Yan Zhi smiled but didn't say anything.

Yang Jun paused, then took out a lighter to light Chen Wang's cigarette, looking like a sycophant.

"A Tier 3 Gene Warrior is a treasure no matter where you go, you're being too polite."

Chen Wang did not refuse his kindness, and asked him to light the cigarette. He took a deep drag and blew out a smoke ring.

"Captain Chen, you don't know, these days, it's not easy for someone with my resume to get by."

"To put it bluntly, it's not as good as being a freelancer, as it's easy to arouse suspicion that you're an undercover agent."

Chen Wang smiled and said, "Yan Zhi wasn't suspected by anyone, was she?"

Yang Jun sighed, "I'm at a disadvantage because of my looks, Brother Chen. Even someone as wise as you thinks I'm not very reliable."

"Think about those ordinary people. If they see me at a glance, do they think I'm a reliable person?"

He was somewhat sad.

Chen Wang couldn't help but chuckle, "I was just kidding earlier. If Yan Zhi says you can do it, then you definitely can. Keep up the good work!"

The weasel-faced man paused for a moment, then nodded.

He was initially unsure.

Chen Wang has a great reputation. The most outrageous version circulating now says that he killed hundreds of Tier 3 Soldier by himself, and he has been completely deified.

However, those in their circle knew some information and could understand Chen Wang's strength; he was incredibly formidable! He was a truly awesome and powerful figure!

This was Yang Jun's impression of Chen Wang.

But now that I've met him, I'm surprised he's so easy to talk to.

Yan Zhi smiled slightly upon hearing Chen Wang's words.

Chen Wang said to Yan Zhi, "Take on that mission in the small town you mentioned. The team has just been formed and needs some achievements and to make a name for ourselves. Let's do a good job."

Yan Zhi nodded. "Okay!"

After a brief chat, Yan Zhi and Yang Jun left.

On the way out, Yang Jun said in a low voice, "Thanks to you for introducing me. I never thought I would finally be accepted by the authorities!"

"Captain Chen trusts you a lot."

Each time he left the organization, there were some unavoidable reasons.

He also knew that to climb the ranks, he had to curry favor with the authorities.

However, after switching between Shengda and Apocalypse, it was impossible to join such an elite team at Qiongqi Mining. But unexpectedly, it was achieved so quickly and easily.

Yan Zhi said, "Work hard, don't be a traitor."

The man, his face filled with grief and indignation, exclaimed, "I will never be a traitor! I am a loyal and righteous man!"

But with his weasel-like appearance, it was impossible to believe him when he said those words.

Yan Zhi smiled and said, "If we had a different captain, things might not be like this. Those of us who surrendered do need to show results."

Yang Jun nodded.

He was somewhat amazed that Yan Zhi, carrying such a huge case, was so easily accepted by Qiongqi Mining; it seemed she wielded considerable power.

I never expected that it was through this Captain Chen's connections.

Chen Wang did not handle the matter of the chemical plant in that small town himself.

After we've taken in these monsters and demons, we should also assess their strength.

Otherwise, what's the point of being a boss? Just hack and slash by yourself while your underlings cheer you on? Chen Wang dealt with some matters briefly, and then Old Wang found him. The two chatted for a while and drank some tea.

Old Wang asked, "Should I assign you a secretary?"

Chen Wang shook his head. "No need, it might be unlucky. If we pair up another one and another one dies, it'll be a waste."

Old Wang nodded, not paying any attention.

"Come to the old man's place for tea and a chat when you have free time."

Chen Wang smiled and said, "Okay."

Old Wang didn't talk to him about any business matters; they just chatted about everyday things.

He gave Chen Wang the greatest authority and the highest degree of freedom, and Chen Wang couldn't help but sigh, "He must have extraordinary abilities to be able to sit in this position."

Old Wang did not interfere with his team, and they did not discuss any business when they met.

There was absolutely no intention to make him fight; it was entirely up to his own choice.

"Are my birth charts compatible with someone surnamed Wang?"

"No, I should say, are people with the surname Wang generally more laid-back and easygoing?"

Chen Wang's master, Wang Yue, was also a hands-off manager. He gave himself half a month off and told him to find a female cultivator for an in-depth exchange.

Chen Wang shook his head, clearing his mind of distractions, and then drove away.

As soon as he returned to the Winter, he contacted Guo Xiaobai and Xiao Lang.

Guo Xiaobai's growing influence is undoubtedly related to the protection he receives from Qiongqi Mining.

This man is patient and resourceful; he's someone who has connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles in the Winter.

Xiao Lang, on the other hand, is an intelligence genius.

Chen Wang had previously asked them to keep an eye out for some antique items.

Xiao Lang personally drove over, and Chen Wang met Xiao Lang about two hours later.

The extremely capable young man unloaded a box of things from the car.

"Brother Chen, these are the things you asked me to keep an eye out for. See if there's anything you want."

He took a box down.

After Chen Wang opened it, he found several pieces of ancient Ancient Jade, a jade Guanyin statue carved entirely of white jade, extremely smooth and lustrous, an antique vase, a Bronze Sword, and an ancient longsword with a scabbard.

"Not bad, it looks good. Let me learn more about it," Chen Wang said.

He paid the fee and gave Xiao Lang some money.

Xiao Lang declined, but Chen Wang insisted that he accept it.

He was extremely generous, which moved Xiao Lang somewhat.

"Brother Chen, haven't you considered letting me help you here?"

Xiao Lang asked.

"Okay," Chen Wang said succinctly.

Although Xiao Lang is Guo Xiaobai's man, it's only an employment relationship. Moreover, Guo Xiaobai himself wants to join Chen Wang's faction and become a lackey.

"I'll talk to Little White about this and have you come over to me," Chen Wang said.

"Brother Xiaobai will definitely be jealous of me when he finds out. He's been wanting to come and be your lackey for a long time."

Xiao Lang laughed loudly.

To be fair, it's not just about money that makes people like Xiao Lang and Guo Xiaobai so convinced; Chen Wang does possess a unique charm.

Chen Wang smiled upon hearing this.

Xiao Lang said, "Also, Brother Chen, regarding the Tier 4 Potion you mentioned, the conditions offered by Shengda are quite favorable, but they become somewhat vague when it comes to potions. I don't think they're being very honest; they might just be trying to lure you in first."

Although Shengda wanted to poach Chen Wang, the matter of Tier 4 Potion couldn't be decided by one person alone. There were several issues involved, and with so many people involved, their opinions would naturally differ. Moreover, those people were worldly-wise and could easily come up with some tricks.

Chen Wang nodded. "You're right, we won't act until we see the results. If those people are vague, there must be something wrong with them."

Xiao Lang nodded. "Brother Chen, I will continue to contact them and continue the talks."

Chen Wang nodded. "That's right, let's talk. These are all old hands, they love to make empty promises."

Xiao Lang nodded.

After chatting for a while, Xiao Lang returned to another Shelter, as there were some things he needed to explain.

After Xiao Lang left, Chen Wang lowered his head and began to examine the contents of the box. He picked up the jade Guanyin statue, which was Gao Ming crafted and of excellent quality, but unfortunately, it did not resonate with him.

Chen Wang casually picked up a jade pendant, which felt cool to the touch.

"Um?"

Chen Wang's eyes lit up immediately.
