I’ve never heard this name before.
However, judging from how he encountered the Neon person… he must be a good person!
“Take this Neon person with us. Let him lead us to the laboratory.”
Zhang Chen said.
“Alright master, but he’s so cowardly. He probably won’t dare to track the natives, so it’s likely he’s telling the truth about not knowing the exact location.”
Shirley reminded him, fearing that bringing another mouth to feed would be a waste of resources.
“Hmm, he’s definitely more familiar with this area than we are. We’ll let him lead us as far as he can. If he really doesn’t know, we’ll just kill him!”
Zhang Chen said.
“Understood!”
Shirley nodded and directly grabbed the Neon person by the collar, dragging him along the ground.
According to the information on the electronic map, they were still a day’s journey away from the Far North Icefield.
The appearance of natives here at least confirmed that Zhang Chen was heading in the right direction!
He hoped that the natives they encountered this time would last a bit longer. Zhang Chen had too many mysteries to solve.
Even if the other party was cooperative, it’s unlikely they could explain everything in three days and three nights.
If the other party was uncooperative, they’d have to add a two-day torture phase.
Calculating this… he hoped the native could at least hold on for five days…
The two walked through two blocks, and beyond that, it was hard to tell if it was a city or a forest.
Everything was covered in dense vegetation. The towering trees were far taller than skyscrapers, and various flowers and leaves trembled eerily without any wind.
“This guy is useless now!”
Zhang Chen said, shaking his head.
“Mm!”
Shirley exerted a little force with her right hand, snapping the Neon person’s neck, and then collected the corpse.
“And… master, it feels like someone is following us…”
Shirley used the word “feels like” because she wasn’t certain.
This feeling came and went intermittently.
Her anti-reconnaissance ability was innate and had never failed her. This intermittent situation was a first.
“Don’t worry about it. We’ll just focus on our own search. If they show hostility, we’ll just kill them when they reveal themselves.”
Zhang Chen said calmly.
It wasn’t a big deal in the first place.
“Alright!”
Shirley nodded.
Zhang Chen then took Shirley and flew directly onto the branch of a nearby giant tree.
They were a hundred meters above the ground. The wide branches were three to four meters wide, stretching far into the distance.
Standing there, their vision opened up instantly, and the surrounding scenery was fully visible.
“Ah~ The view here is so expansive!”
Shirley took a deep breath, raised her hands high, and stretched.
She was wearing a white camisole underneath a long-sleeved denim jacket. It didn’t show much when she was walking, but with such a relaxed movement, it felt like the camisole was about to burst.
Zhang Chen glanced over… Shirley was first, Reina second, and Mo Ran was now third…
Well… he got distracted!
He composed himself and refocused his gaze on the dense forest canopy to the north.
He activated Absolute Vision!
The originally dense, tightly packed forest instantly became clearly layered. All plants, animals, and buildings were presented to Zhang Chen without any reservation.
These natives liked to build laboratories underground, so he focused on observing buildings with basements.
Soon, the surrounding environment was scanned. Zhang Chen then extended his gaze further north to scan a larger area.
Activating Absolute Vision at such a long distance consumed a lot of energy, but Zhang Chen’s energy core had merged with the meteorite core, so he could withstand any amount of consumption, and it would replenish quickly.
Finally, at a distance of ten kilometers from their current location, he discovered a building with a seven-story underground structure.
Ten kilometers was also the limit of Zhang Chen’s current visual control.
He could only see machinery and computers inside the underground building, but he couldn’t make out the specifics. However, there were no natives. It was possible that this was another abandoned laboratory.
He retracted his gaze, rubbed his eyes, and recovered slightly. Then, he directly scooped up Shirley, and with a bang that broke the sound barrier, he sped towards the target!
At this moment, a man hidden in the shadow of another branch slowly appeared.
He had a small burnt scar on his forehead, his features were regular and resolute, and his solid muscles were not concealed by his clothes.
“Damn it, they flew away… this guy really has a lot of abilities!”
The man muttered to himself, then leaped up. As his body extended, a thin energy film suddenly appeared, connecting his arms, legs, and body into one.
He then caught the wind and glided rapidly behind Zhang Chen.
This was Qing Feng.
The surname Qing is relatively uncommon. In Long Country, only about 140,000 people have this surname.
Qing Feng grew up in a martial arts family and began practicing martial arts at the age of three. He was very intelligent, grasping concepts instantly. He had excellent roots and was diligent and self-disciplined, earning him the title of the most talented martial artist, a prodigy!
Martial arts had forged his resolute character and an iron-like physique.
He was also the hope of his family and the traditional martial arts world.
When Qing Feng represented Long Country in a world free combat competition, he inexplicably transmigrated to this post-apocalyptic world.
Having practiced martial arts, Qing Feng was not as flustered as other survivors who had just transmigrated. He calmly found a foothold before the zombies became active and, relying on his superior physical condition, rescued several survivors.
Subsequently, with his exceptional strength and calm mind, he became the leader of the survivor group.
He led the team, killing zombies along the way, growing rapidly, and established a small sanctuary.
Qing Feng was aware of his weakness: he was a bit too focused on emotions, which was sufficient for managing a small team of a few people, but he struggled to manage larger groups.
Fortunately, the sanctuary was very sturdy and withstood multiple attacks from zombie hordes.
At the same time, his team members also grew significantly through combat, with each person being capable of handling their own responsibilities.
Qing Feng's progress was the greatest. As the energy within him increased, his understanding of energy also changed.
He discovered that the energy within his body shared many similarities with the internal energy and Qi cultivation he had learned before!
Initially, he thought that internal energy and similar concepts were just things from martial arts novels. Although there were rumors and incantations passed down from elders, Qing Feng had practiced them diligently, but they were useless.
Especially in actual combat, it was more about reaction, speed, and strength – physical aspects.
Therefore, he had temporarily set aside the contents of internal energy cultivation.
Now, picking it up again, Qing Feng felt his vision suddenly open up, as if a new world had been unveiled!
With the cooperation of internal energy, his external martial arts skills had improved by more than tenfold!
This made Qing Feng ecstatic!
