Chen Wang felt the cool sensation, which was very comfortable and somewhat different from the Jade Cicada he had encountered before.

He probed it with his spiritual power and suddenly felt a gentle force within it.

I felt very happy.

After a short while, Chen Wang felt that his spirit had become stronger.

"Good heavens, this jade pendant can enhance spiritual power!"

Chen Wang's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but gasp.

He carefully sensed it and guided the special power within the jade pendant.

"Nourish the soul!"

Chen Wang was taken aback for a moment.

About half an incense stick's time later, the mysterious power within the jade pendant disappeared.

Chen Wang's mental strength has grown much stronger than before.

In other words, his soul has grown stronger.

At this moment, the mysterious power within the jade pendant had vanished, turning it into an ordinary piece of Ancient Jade.

Chen Wang felt refreshed and invigorated. He hadn't expected that the Winter?"Chen Wang suddenly thought of this possibility.

He then picked up the antiques one after another to examine them.

However, none of these antiques possessed that power; they were all just ordinary antiques.

"I cannot directly absorb the power within the Jade Cicada, but I can absorb the power within this jade pendant. What is the difference between them?"

Chen Wang was very anxious and wanted to get to the bottom of this matter.

He didn't feel anything from the Bronze Sword, but when he picked up the ancient sword, his heart suddenly stirred, and his spiritual power vaguely sensed something at that moment!

"This sword is good!"

His eyes lit up, and he probed into it with his mental energy, then felt the same power.

Chen Wang was overjoyed and tried to guide the absorption of this power.

To his surprise, the power within the sword was incredibly sharp and piercing! A wave of pain suddenly surged through Chen Wang's mind, and even he couldn't help but let out a low growl, "Ah! Damn it!"

Chen Wang clutched his head with both hands, as if his head was about to split open.

The ancient sword contained immense power, and Chen Wang was suddenly thrown backward!

He's a third-tier Mind Master.

Unexpectedly, it couldn't withstand the power of the ancient sword in an instant!

Moreover, his mind was filled with murderous intent, and he inevitably had a desire to kill.

His head felt as if it had been split open with a sword. He clutched his head and rolled around, making hoarse noises like a wild beast.

He wanted to sever this connection and stop absorbing that power with his mental energy, but it was too late. That power kept pouring into his mind! When it was all over, Chen Wang found himself soaked in sweat, a feeling he hadn't experienced in a long time.

The feeling of his head being split open still lingered, and he felt dizzy and disoriented.

"Damn, that was too hasty."

Chen Wang said.

He tried to sense if his mental energy had increased, but the slightest exertion of it caused a severe headache and throbbing pain in his temples! His spirit had been damaged! Chen Wang's lips twitched; he hadn't expected that this ancient sword would hold such a secret in the Winter!

He immediately sat up and began to meditate, circulating his Profound Fire True Art.

Although cultivation Cultivation Method do not specifically train the soul, they do have the effect of nourishing the soul. The key is meditation and concentration, which has the effect of Jing Xin.

Chen Wang sat cross-legged in meditation, and his headache eased slightly, which relieved him.

"It's good that it can be restored."

This time, Chen Wang gained a new understanding of the antiques in the Winter.

After finishing my meal, I went to meditate, and an hour passed quickly, during which I completed many cycles of meditation.

After slowly opening my eyes, the headache lessened considerably, but it still didn't completely disappear.

Not only that, the murderous intent in his heart grew even stronger.

"I wasn't affected by the side effects of the Winter's Gene Serum, but rather by this sword!"

Chen Wang thought to himself.

He got up and poured himself a glass of water. The feeling of his head being split open was still there, making him feel very uncomfortable.

After a short rest, Chen Wang sat cross-legged again to cultivate the Profound Fire True Art.

It wasn't until noon the next day that Chen Wang's head injury was completely healed, and the pain in his temples subsided.

Chen Wang sensed his spiritual power and found it to be at least twice as strong as before, a very obvious difference.

Originally, his mental energy could only extend a dozen meters, but now it can extend more than thirty meters.

This change delighted Chen Wang, but the urge to kill in his heart gave him a headache.

What should we do about this side effect?

Chen Wang's killing intent was so intense that it was almost impossible to dispel, and he tried many methods without success, which greatly troubled him.

"We can't just find a few random people to kill, can we?" Chen Wang raised an eyebrow.

immediately,

His eyes lit up.

Qiongqi Mining Office Building

A shrewd and capable clerk, while taking notes, asked, "Chief Chen, are you sure you want to take this mission, alone?"

Chen Wang nodded. "That's right, I'll take on this task."

His task was to clean up a ruin that had been infested with Zombies, with at least dozens of Zombies detected there.

The Zombies that wreaked havoc in the Shelter last time are also suspected to be related to this place, and may very well have been brought in from there.

Chen Wang is now an official, and doing this kind of task not only earns him rewards but also merit points.

However, his insistence on going alone surprised the young clerk.

The formalities were completed quickly, Chen Wang the equipment depot to collect ammunition. Since he was doing official business, he naturally couldn't spend his own money.

Chen Wang received a batch of ammunition and supplies, and for guns, he chose a submachine gun and a Shotgun.

He has a particular fondness for Shotgun; they are incredibly powerful, require no aiming, and are a deadly weapon in close combat.

Although we use it less now, the equipment in the official ammunition depot is excellent. Take it if you can; getting it for free is a joy!

After Chen Wang received the ammunition, someone was assigned to drive him there.

Chen Wang sat in the passenger seat with his eyes closed, resting.

The driver was a man in his thirties who appeared very steady and well-trained.

Chen Wang rubbed his temples. After absorbing the power from the sword, his temples had been throbbing with pain. Although they were better now, he still habitually rubbed them.

The man next to him is named Song Da Shan, a very simple name, and he is well-trained.

However, he was just an ordinary soldier and had not been injected with Gene Serum.

He was a very good driver and quickly got Chen Wang into the ruins.

Yellow sand flew everywhere, and low growls could be heard from inside the steel building, which was quite eerie.

"Sir, shall I wait here for you, or what arrangements should I make?" Song Da Shan asked.

"No need, I'll contact you after I'm done. You'll inevitably be affected if you stay here." Chen Wang shook his head.

Song Da Shan and his colleagues belong to the logistics personnel category.

Drivers, secretaries, clerks, and assistants ensure the basic needs of these Gene Warrior are met.

The mortality rate among these people is also very high. Many of the Gene Warrior have personality flaws, such as being irritable and easily angered, gloomy, belligerent, or lecherous.

In order to maximize the capabilities of the Gene Warrior, the authorities sometimes assign special personnel to coordinate with them.

The mortality rate among logistics personnel is very high. They are all ordinary people with limited means of self-defense when facing Zombies.

When Song Da Shan heard how much Chen Wang cared about their lives, a strange look appeared in his eyes.

"This Chief Chen is said to be a murderous monster, but he seems like a decent person."

Soldiers are duty-bound to obey orders, and if Chen Wang asked him to wait here, he would wait here.

But if he encounters danger, he'll just die...

Many logistics personnel have died because of this situation, but there is no other way. The needs of the Gene Warrior must be prioritized, Winter has no shortage of ordinary people.

After he drove away, Chen Wang went inside with a Shotgun.

The gun in his hand was extremely powerful, with a magazine that could hold ten bullets, a shrapnel kill radius of twenty meters, and a very strong firepower. Its effective range was ten meters.

As he drew closer, the murderous intent in his heart intensified.

There were many Zombies in this place. He didn't even need to use his mental power to investigate. After wandering around for a while, he encountered a Zombies.

This was a man with a withered face, grayish-white eyes, and tattered clothes, lying on the ground like a wild beast.

Upon seeing Chen Wang, it suddenly looked up and lunged at him! Chen Wang immediately pulled the trigger.

With a loud bang, the man was blown to pieces, his flesh scattered all over the ground.

"That's right, this thing is very powerful."

Chen Wang was very satisfied with the explosive effect.

The commotion quickly attracted the attention of some Zombies.

A rustling sound arose around him, and footsteps quickly approached.

Chen Wang wasn't in a hurry; he had come here to alleviate the intense killing intent in his heart.

Chen Wang didn't feel much impact from firing that shot; he needed more Zombies!

If others knew about Chen Wang's thoughts, they would probably be very surprised.

Gene Warrior gain their abilities at the cost of sacrificing their lifespan and damaging their bodily functions.

Moreover, when facing Zombies, you don't know what kind of Zombies are in the horde. If a high-level Zombies runs out, or if there are too many Zombies, even a powerful warrior will perish.

But Chen Wang is different; he has an outstanding track record and the confidence to back it up.

He simply found an abandoned car, jumped onto it, sat down, and dangled his legs, looking rather nonchalant.

The Zombies around him were closing in, but he seemed unperturbed. Instead, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a deep drag. The tobacco burned his lungs and was quite pungent.

"The cigarettes Old Wang gave me are really strong!"

Chen Wang looked down and glanced at the packaging of the cigarette box in his hand. It was a special edition, meant for high-ranking officials.

Some high-ranking officials enjoy strong liquor and very pungent tobacco.

At first, Chen Wang wasn't used to it and even coughed a couple of times, but after a few puffs, he actually started to like the feeling. "It's kind of interesting."

Suddenly, a Zombies leaped out from the corner! It was a shirtless man with many dried bite wounds on his body, his muscles shriveled.

He pounced on Chen Wang at incredible speed!

These ordinary Zombies are about as fast as hounds, and their reflexes are extremely sharp; ordinary bullets can't penetrate them.

That's the real headache.

Chen Wang didn't even look at him. With a cigarette dangling from his mouth and a nonchalant attitude, he raised his hand and fired a shot. Bang! Sparks flew everywhere!

The Zombies was instantly pulverized! The specially modified gun in his hand was not only expensive, but the bullets were also incredibly expensive. To be honest, using it to fight a regular Zombies was a bit of a waste, a pure waste of money.

However, Chen Wang got the gun for free, so he wasn't bothered by it.

More Zombies pounced out, and Chen Wang pulled the trigger again, smashing the pot-bellied man to pieces!

"This gun is too powerful. Let's try a submachine gun instead," Chen Wang said, pursing his lips.

The gunshot made a loud noise, like a grenade being thrown, and quickly attracted a lot of Zombies.

Chen Wang took out the submachine gun, which was only slightly larger than a pistol, with an automatically retractable stock and was very lightweight.

It's even more powerful than his original MP7-style submachine gun.

Even specially made Level 1 body armor cannot stop it, but modified body armor can still withstand ordinary Armor-Piercing Bullet.

This gun has a high rate of fire and strong penetrating power. Chen Wang had a cigarette in one hand and a submachine gun in the other.

Rat-a-tat-tat-tat! One Zombies after another pounced on him, quickly falling to his gun!

However, several level-two Zombies quickly pounced on Chen Wang!

Their movements are more agile, and firearms alone are no longer sufficient to deal with them, or rather, would easily result in casualties.

Chen Wang possesses extremely strong mental power and rich combat experience.

With a light leap, he jumped off the abandoned car.

With a loud crash, the car was completely crushed!

A tall, disheveled Zombies stood there, exuding a powerful and chilling aura, and reeking of blood.

"Has anyone been here?"

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow.

This Zombies's aura is at least level three.

Chen Wang put away his submachine gun and took out a longsword.

This is an Eight-Sided Han Sword, with a very standard shape. It was the power contained in this sword that almost split Chen Wang's head open.

Although this sword has lost that power and become ordinary iron, it is still very sharp and can cut through iron like mud.

The Zombies leaped forward and pounced on Chen Wang.

With a flick of his wrist, Chen Wang slashed the Zombies's neck with his sword.

But the Zombies's neck was like cast iron, sparks flying everywhere!

It only left a tiny mark!

"..." Chen Wang's lips twitched.

"What happened to the promise of being able to cut iron like mud?"

The Third Order Zombie has a very strong physique. Although this sword is extraordinary, its greatest strength lies in the power within it, rather than the sword itself.

"The Zombies of Winter are really not friendly to melee weapons." Chen Wang shook his head.

He just tried it out, smashing the Zombies with a gun. It looked really cool, a real firepower crusher.

However, it did nothing to alleviate the murderous intent in his heart.

The Third Order Zombie leaped forward and pounced on Chen Wang again!

Chen Wang abruptly threw his cigarette on the ground and punched it! With a bang! The Zombies's head and half of its body were shattered!

The immense force created a powerful gust of air that sent him flying backward!

His body crashed into an abandoned car, which was instantly crushed.

Chen Wang's murderous intent finally subsided somewhat.

"Using my fists can alleviate this murderous intent!"

Chen Wang's eyes suddenly turned cold as he stared at the menacing Zombies, a smirk playing on his lips. "Come on!"
