Chapter 196: Bait, Leave

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

This black-clothed muscular man’s physique was indeed ridiculously strong. Zhou Chen had to use more than ten punches to completely kill him.

[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have stolen the mutant’s passive skills “Physique Enhancement III, Monolith III”. Detected that they are superior to the passive skills you have now. They will automatically be replaced.]

After killing this black-clothed man, Zhou Chen realized that all the ordinary guards using firearms had fled through his Bloodthirst perception. He could not even sense a living person within a few hundred meters.

“These guys retreated so fast? They aren’t even coming to collect their boss’s corpse?”

Zhou Chen felt that there was something amiss with this situation. He immediately activated Windrun skill and prepared to leave this area.

But the next second, Ella’s voice sounded in his ear.

“The residents within a thousand meters of you have been cleared. Some tanks and nearly a thousand armed soldiers are gathered. There are also several fighter planes approaching from the sky. I suggest you use the teleportation talisman to escape the encirclement.”

“It’s that exaggerated?”

Zhou Chen immediately felt a headache. The other party’s fast reaction made him feel that they had long prepared for this.

While he was thinking, he suddenly sensed some danger. His figure flashed to the side, and then he heard a loud sound. He turned his head and saw a huge hole more than three meters in diameter appear on the wall of the building behind where he had been standing earlier.

Then, he heard the rumbling of the fighter plane above him. He looked up and saw a fighter jet charging over from a thousand meters in the sky. It fired a large amount of ammunition at the spot where he was standing, making the ground around him explode like a large landmine.

“F*ck!”

Zhou Chen, who was the target of the bombardment, felt immense pressure. He immediately activated the Shield passive skill that had been upgraded to the high bronze level. Then, he activated the Eight Desolates True Energy to further protect his body and exerted strength under his feet, running away from this dangerous area.

However, he quickly realized that no matter where he went, the tank cannons on the ground and the fighter aircraft’s machine guns in the sky followed him closely. There were even several times when these attacks were aimed at him at the same time, making it impossible for him to dodge.

“Looks like I can’t save on the teleportation talisman.”

After being suddenly hit by a tank cannon and sent flying dozens of meters away, crashing through several buildings, Zhou Chen realized that he was injured. Although the injury was not serious, this meant that it would be very dangerous for him to continue being beaten unilaterally. Therefore, he took Ella’s suggestion, or rather, Li Guofu’s suggestion.

He took out a white talisman from his inventory and crushed it with his finger. Then, he disappeared and appeared in a building a thousand meters away.

There were no residents in the building. The residents had been cleared out. There was only a soldier wearing earphones and a sniper rifle squatting by the window.

“Reporting! The target has suddenly disappeared!”

When Zhou Chen instantly appeared a few meters behind this person, this person was reporting to his superior.

Zhou Chen did not choose to kill this person, because this might expose him.

He used his Windrun skill and his crazy high speed to disappear from the spot in the blink of an eye and escaped from the other window of the building, without letting the reporting soldier know that the target had escaped from right under his nose.

After a few seconds, Zhou Chen carefully circled around the other soldiers with the help of the Bloodthirst passive skill and passed through the encirclement.

“I’m finally out. They surrounded me too quickly this time and even used long-range weapons to attack me. I could not even counterattack.”

He looked down at his body and realized that the spot where he had been injured by the tank shell had already healed. After all, his own recovery speed enhanced by the superimposed berserking was quite broken.

Since he was in a safe area, he began to ponder. He did not know why that important figure, Robertson, suddenly appeared, and why did the enemy force respond so fast after he was killed? The encirclement was quick and targeted. If not for the teleportation talisman, he might still be suffering from their long-range attacks.

“We’re six hundred meters to your right. Come fast.”

At this moment, Ella’s voice reached Zhou Chen’s ears again.

“Okay.”

Zhou Chen immediately moved. He had already broken through the encirclement. Those people would not be able to find him in a while, so he could reunite with his friends.

A few minutes later, Zhou Chen saw Li Guofu and Ella under a remote bridge.

Li Guofu handed him a casual outfit.

“Quickly change your clothes and change your appearance.”

Zhou Chen took the coat from him and quickly took off his clothes that had been ruined by the siege. He also changed his appearance to that of a middle-aged man.

“I suffered a loss this time. I had planned to keep the teleportation talisman as a trump card.”

Zhou Chen complained to Li Guofu as he put on the clothes.

“You should have used it decisively. That way, you wouldn’t have been hit by an armor-piercing bullet. But your body is really perverted. You’re still alive and kicking after being hit by the armor-piercing bullet of the tank.”

Li Guofu had learned of Zhou Chen’s situation through Ella’s ability. He was speechless at the tankiness of the latter’s body.

“I thought that I could escape with my speed. How would I know that those weapons could lock onto me.”

Zhou Chen was a little helpless. At that time, he had not directly used the teleportation talisman because he was confident in his speed. However, the reality was different from what he expected. Faced with the large number of attacks that locked onto him from all directions, it was very difficult for him to charge out.

“No matter what, we finally obtained an unexpected surprise this time. We killed the leader of Nete Tech, Robertson.”

Li Guofu smiled, indicating that this mission was a success.

“Was that old man really Robertson? I feel that this matter is too strange.”

Zhou Chen was a little puzzled. He felt that the series of events just now were obscure.

“It’s indeed strange that you encountered Robertson as soon as you went out with that organization. Moreover, according to the follow-up events, he looks very much like a decoy… but Ella has scanned him. That old man is indeed Robertson. He doesn’t have any disguise on him, so it’s unlikely that he’s a substitute.”

Li Guofu rubbed his chin and said.

“Ella, you’ve seen Robertson?”

Zhou Chen asked Ella curiously.

“I’ve never seen him before, but I saw him on the screen many times when I was in Nete Tech. I can’t be wrong.”

Ella replied immediately.

“Is that so? Is our luck really that good?”

Zhou Chen couldn’t help but mutter.

At this moment, he suddenly turned his head to look towards the end of the bridge and saw an electric current spreading out and transforming into the figure of a young man.

“You still dare to come over?!”

Zhou Chen saw the young man and punched him from afar, making him transform into lightning to dodge.

This young man was Todd. At that time, he had deliberately exposed Zhou Chen and made him have no choice but to fight those enemies.

“I’m sorry about what happened before! I swear I didn’t do it on purpose! I was only being impatient because the plan failed!”

After dodging Zhou Chen’s attack, Todd immediately explained. It was obvious that he could confirm Zhou Chen’s identity even after the face change.

“Hehe.”

Zhou Chen did not believe his explanation at all, but he still stopped attacking because this person’s escaping ability was too strong. If he continued to attack, there was a high chance that he would attract the attention of the enemies.

“Get lost. I will tell you a good news before you leave. I completed the mission alone.”

Zhou Chen said to Todd.

“No, no, no. We were deceived. The one you killed earlier should be a substitute.”

However, Todd shook his head.

“Look at this.”

He took out a phone-like thing and opened a program similar to the news, showing it to Zhou Chen and the others.

“Emergency news. Ten minutes ago, several mutants attacked a movie theater in the city. Mayor Robertson has expressed high interest in this. He has already sent a powerful armed force to surround the mutants.”

After the news anchor explained, the scene changed to an old man in a formal suit in the office. This old man began to criticize the attack righteously. Zhou Chen saw a live broadcast label at the top right corner of the news program.

“Did you see that? That old man is still alive and kicking.”

Todd continued.

“Maybe this old man is the substitute. He was pushed out to stabilize the situation.”

Zhou Chen stared at the old man in the video and found that he was identical to the one he had killed earlier. He could not tell the difference, but he felt that even if this was a live broadcast, it did not prove much. Perhaps the person who had been killed was the real Robertson, and the guy in the news broadcast was the fake.

“I thought so too.”

Todd looked at Zhou Chen and smiled.

“But my people have already sent back clear information that broke my fantasy. The old man in the movie theater earlier is most likely a clone! We were all fooled by Nete Tech. The whole thing was a bait!”

Todd looked helpless, like a failed stockholder who had been fooled by the stock market.

“Clone? There’s such a technology in Nete Tech?”

Zhou Chen looked at Ella in doubt.

“Yes.”

Ella replied immediately.

“Nete Tech has long mastered human cloning technology. It is said that there is also a cloning team.”

“Then your doubts from before make sense.”

Li Guofu muttered.

“I was wondering why it was such a coincidence. So it was a trap.”

“These people are too good at playing. They clone even themselves, how can we kill them? I suspect that the old man in this video is also a clone. I wonder where his real body is hiding.”

Zhou Chen immediately felt a headache. He was really at wit’s end. He had no way to tell who was real and who was a clone.

“Don’t be disheartened. The person I arranged to work in Nete Tech will provide me with more information. I’ll look for you to cooperate after I confirm the old man’s real body.”

Todd put away the phone and said to Zhou Chen with a smile.

“I won’t cooperate with you anymore. I don’t want to be tricked by you again.”

Zhou Chen said angrily.

“Hehe, friend, it’s inevitable for there to be flaws in our first cooperation. Didn’t you escape unscathed?”

Todd smiled shamelessly.

“In order to show my sincerity, I can tell you the advantage of my side. We have a mutant with a perfect impersonation ability. Once we can get close to a high-level figure of Nete Tech, we can let him replace that high-level figure and enter their ranks to begin the follow-up plan.”

Todd said to Zhou Chen.

“Perfect impersonation? Could it be that invisible youth? So this is your plan.”

Zhou Chen immediately understood what their plan was. It turned out that they wanted to create an opportunity to replace the real thing.

“There are many people moving in the nearby areas. They should be doing a large-scale search.”

At this moment, Ella reported to Zhou Chen and the others.

“Alright, let’s leave this city.”

Zhou Chen immediately left with Li Guofu and Ella. Todd also turned into lightning and left. Before leaving, he told Zhou Chen that he would look for him to cooperate in the future.

Zhou Chen’s group of three set off towards the outside of the city. They circled around many sealed areas and jumped over the high city wall.

Somewhere outside the city, Lucy and Hilda were already waiting in the pickup. They had left the city before the plan began and were in charge of receiving Zhou Chen and the others when they fled.

Although they did not encounter the worst situation of being chased and killed by Nete Tech, they might be caught if they stayed any longer. Therefore, the six of them decisively left the city in the pickup.

“Our revenge has failed this time. When I’m stronger, I will come and take revenge.”

Zhou Chen said unhappily as he looked at the city wall of Nete No. 4 City that could no longer be seen.

“Actually, our revenge plan was partially successful.”

Li Guofu comforted Zhou Chen.

“Look, our people are all intact, but Nete Tech has lost many people without gaining anything.”

“Save it. They have confirmed my existence and my ability. It will be difficult for me to attack in the future.”

Zhou Chen could only rely on the first battle to kill the leader of Nete Tech. That was the only time when the enemy did not know about him. Now that he had fought a huge battle with their troops and let them know that he was vulnerable to their technological weapons, it would be difficult for him to attack casually in the future. Otherwise, he would be easily trapped.

“If it’s not convenient for you to attack, there’s still us.”

Li Guofu smiled.

“Don’t always make things difficult for yourself. You have to know that the strength of a team is the most powerful. If we develop our team to be as strong as Nete Tech, it will be much easier to deal with them.”

“Hmm, your idea is good. There’s strength in numbers.”

Zhou Chen immediately felt inspired.

“Yeah, it is better to spend some effort to establish our own force. When our forces develop, it will not be so troublesome to deal with Nete Tech.”

Zhou Chen decided to put down the grudge of having his camp destroyed and continue to lie low for a while. In any case, there was still a long time until the end of the Survival mission. He still had room for improvement in his strength and group strength.. It would not be too late to take revenge when the time was ripe.
