“I see… Looks like I have to be careful even with this mask.”

Lucy's reaction greatly reduced Zhou Chen's excitement, letting him know that even if he was wearing a mask, it was not foolproof. He then instructed Lucy to pay attention to the bespectacled girl and bid farewell to her before leaving this inn.

He passed an alley and quickly arrived on a street.

This street looked like a street of a tier-2 city, but there were fewer pedestrians and vehicles. The pedestrians who appeared in Zhou Chen's eyes were all in a hurry, as if they were in a hurry to go to work.

“There are also many office workers in this world?”

He guessed as he looked at the familiar scene.

He walked along the street and soon passed a pillar that looked like a street lamp. There was a loudspeaker installed on the pillar. When Zhou Chen passed it, a broadcast rang from the speaker:

“Several mutant criminals escaped from the city's prison this morning and are a huge potential threat to the lives of the residents. Anyone who provides relevant information will be given 1,000 points.”

“Mutant criminals? Aren't all the mutants treasures?”

Zhou Chen felt that this was a little new. According to what he knew, mutants had a very high value and there were few of them. They were sought after everywhere. How could a mutant be stupid and end up in jail?

His thoughts wandered. Zhou Chen walked for a while before entering a bar.

The reason why he came to the bar was because he sensed a lot of people here. He could understand the basic situation through their conversation.

After entering the bar, he realized that the decor was quite good. The bar counter was clean, the central lights were dazzling, and there were many customers too. At this moment, a large group of people were gathered around a small platform that looked like a ring, shouting and cheering. It was quite lively.

“Hit him, John!”

“All the best, Robert!”

“John! I bet 500 points on you! You need to win!”

Zhou Chen approached the crowd and saw two men fighting on the small ring.

One of the men was in his thirties. He was muscular and had black hair on his face and chest. His fighting style was very ferocious.

The other was much younger. His physique was ordinary, but his movements were very agile. He could always dodge his opponent's attacks and even counterattack from time to time.

The two fighters were currently in a precarious situation. The muscular man's fighting style was violent and powerful, but he could not get one hit in. Although the ordinary-looking young man kept dodging the opponent's attacks and counterattacking, he gave people the feeling that he was dancing on a steel wire, as if he would be immediately eliminated if he got hit by even one punch.

“The young guy will win.”

Zhou Chen only glanced at the two people on the ring and calmly judged.

His assertion immediately attracted the attention of a middle-aged man standing beside him.

“Don't talk nonsense. John is a veteran boxer who has defeated many experts. This kid named Robert is just a little agile. When he loses his stamina later, he will definitely lose.”

This middle-aged man seemed to have bet on John's victory, who had a clear advantage in physique.

“Hehe, just wait and see.”

Zhou Chen did not explain and replied with a smile.

The reason why he made this judgment was that he had determined that the young man was a mutant through his Bloodthirst perception. His physique should have been enhanced quite a bit. His struggle against the muscular man was only an act. As the competition continued, he would only be closer to victory.

“Alright. I don't believe John can lose to this kid.”

The middle-aged man said disdainfully.

However, reality quickly hit him in the face. A minute later, John still did not see Robert showing any signs of fatigue. Instead, he was accidentally hit on the nose by a sudden heavy punch. This punch was not as light as before that he could ignore. His body swayed twice and he fell to the ground.

“God! My 300 points!”

As John fell to the ground, the middle-aged man beside Zhou Chen screamed and covered his head. Many others nearby also had a similar reaction.

Zhou Chen was also slightly surprised. He was not surprised that Robert had suddenly defeated John. Instead, he realized something interesting. He had seen Robert before.

“This kid looked familiar. I thought I was imagining it, so it's that young man I saw over a month ago, Teresa's admirer. I remember his name was something else.”

Zhou Chen realized that the young man on the ring was the young man with middle school syndrome who he had encountered on the mission with Teresa.

He remembered that the young man's superpower was lightning. After not seeing him for a month, he did not expect that he would actually see him fighting with an ordinary person. Of course, he might only be experiencing life.

At this moment, with the outcome of the battle clear, many people dispersed. Some people who looked like physicians went up to check on the fallen John, while others rushed to the winner, Robert, to give him a hug.

However, Robert ignored the crowd. He pushed through the crowd and swiped his card before leaving the bar.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen followed behind Robert while maintaining some distance. He was a little curious about why this mutant with extraordinary strength was fighting to earn money. Could it be that he had given up on his dream of ruling the world? Or was it due to those mutants who had escaped from prison?

It was difficult for Zhou Chen not to think of this since he had just heard the news broadcast.

Mutants were one of the sources of passive skills for Zhou Chen. Although he would not chase after every mutant, it was natural to pay more attention to them. After all, he did not have much to do at the moment. Since he was strolling anyway, it was better to chase after his interest.

For the rest of the time, Zhou Chen followed behind Robert with the Bloodthirst passive skill. He realized that the young man had first gone to a pharmacy to buy some medicine and then went to a grocery store to buy some food. Then, he walked to a remote location in the city.

“Has he discovered me?”

Zhou Chen, who was following him, immediately felt that Robert led him to this remote area because he was discovered.. However, Zhou Chen did not care. If he found out, so be it. If that was the case, something more interesting might happen.

As expected, after Zhou Chen followed the young man into an empty street, he suddenly realized that the target had disappeared from his Bloodthirst perception. Then, he suddenly turned around and punched. Accompanied by the sound of an electric spark, a figure covered in lightning suddenly flashed and retreated.

“Are you a mutant sent by Nete Tech?”

The young man was forced back by Zhou Chen's punch. He looked at Zhou Chen with a serious expression and asked.

“No.”

Zhou Chen looked at him and replied calmly.

“I was just passing by and became interested in what you were doing.”

“Hehe.”

The young man chuckled when he heard this. His figure flashed and arrived behind Zhou Chen, sending a bright bolt of lightning toward him.

Zhou Chen immediately reacted and used the Eight Desolates True Energy to blast open the surroundings. Unfortunately, his speed was not faster than lightning, so he took the attack head-on. But the Eight Desolates True Energy forced the young man to turn into lightning and escape.

After seeing that this person was a distance away from him, Zhou Chen wanted to release his Eight Desolates True Energy to try and kill him, but this young man shouted to stop the battle.

“My lightning is useless against you. Nete Tech doesn't have mutants like you. Are you really not sent by them?”

He stared at Zhou Chen from a distance.

Zhou Chen originally wanted to continue attacking him, but considering that the commotion caused by using all his strength was too great, and this person was as fast as lightning and was very cautious, it would probably be difficult for him to succeed. He stopped and said to him,

“I already said that I was just passing by.”

Zhou Chen's impression of this young man had changed. At the beginning, he had thought that this young man was suffering from middle school syndrome to speak such big words to Teresa. But now, he seemed to have matured, seeing that he was cautious and decisive in battle.

“Alright, friend, it was just a misunderstanding. I'm willing to pay 100 points to compensate for the damage to your clothes.”

He looked at Zhou Chen and smiled. Although his use of lightning did not affect Zhou Chen, it had burnt a small piece of his clothes.

“In the meantime, I have a big plan for us mutants. I wonder if you're interested.”

'Could he be talking about that dream of ruling the world again…'

Zhou Chen cursed inwardly.

However, when the young man saw that Zhou Chen was silent, he thought that Zhou Chen was waiting for him to explain, so he began to talk about his big plan.

“Friend, I think you should know that this city oppresses us mutants greatly. If the mutants who come here are not willing to submit to the owner of this place, Nete Tech, they will be arrested and sent to prison for their cruel experiments. Therefore, as a mutant, I have thought of a plan. I am going to attack Nete Tech and take revenge for our suffering compatriots, and even transform this place into a paradise for mutants!”

The young man explained his plan to Zhou Chen. His expression gradually became enthusiastic, allowing Zhou Chen to see the shadow of the youth from a month ago.

“You want to attack Nete Tech? Can you tell me how you are going to attack?”

Zhou Chen was also interested in the young man's plan because he was also planning to attack Nete Tech.

“Our counterattack is very simple. It is blood for blood. We will use the strength of us mutants to teach those arrogant ordinary people a lesson!”

The young man spoke vaguely, clearly still cautious.

“It sounds like you guys want to fight Nete Tech head-on? Not a good plan I must say.”

Zhou Chen shook his head. There were many people in Nete Tech, and they had a systematic combat troops. It was really wishful thinking for some mutants to want to fight them head-on.

“Of course we won't fight them head-on. We mutants are not stupid.”

The young man smiled calmly.

“We have a clear feasible plan. We will share the details with you only if you join us. We're still short of some people. If you join us and we succeed in our plan, everyone will have a good life in the future. We won't have to hide from the people of Nete Tech anymore.”

“Alright, I'll join.”

Zhou Chen replied.

“Friend, although you're a mutant, we can't trust you unless you show your stand with your actions.”

The young man was speechless at Zhou Chen trying to join so simply.

“What do you want me to do? Kill a Nete Tech's person?”

Zhou Chen asked.

“Yes, as long as you bring up the head of a Nete Tech manager-level people, we will reveal the entire plan to you.”

The young man replied to Zhou Chen.

“Hehe, you want me to kill such a person just like that? Am I crazy? Forget it, I don't need to listen to your plan.”

Zhou Chen naturally could not accept this request. He would not kill anyone for the sake of understanding an unknown plan. Such an action would easily expose him and cause him to lose the chance to kill higher-level figures.

Zhou Chen turned and left after saying this. His interest in this person had been exhausted. Since it was difficult for him to kill him now, he could not be bothered to waste any more time.

“Hold on.”

“You are quite strong. I can decide to skip your test. If you are interested in our plan, please pay attention to the tree in the middle of Redwood Park. We will leave a signal there in the near future.”

“Okay.”

Zhou Chen left without looking back.

After that, Zhou Chen strolled around the city for a while and returned to the Long-tailed parakeet Inn. Before long, he saw Li Guofu.

When Li Guofu saw Zhou Chen, he shared his findings with him.

“The highest leader of Nete Tech in this city is a person named Robertson. He rarely appears in public and usually lives in the mayor building which has layers of security. It's difficult to approach him, much less kill him. I suggest changing targets.”

“Change targets? It doesn't feel good to not kill a leader.”

Zhou Chen was a little displeased with this approach.

“Xing, don't forget that we're in a Survival mission. Even if you're strong and not afraid of missiles, you might encounter some difficult enemies and be in danger. We can't be too arrogant.”

Li Guofu began to persuade Zhou Chen.

“In that case, we might as well not counterattack Nete Tech. It's safer to pretend that nothing happened.”

Zhou Chen knew that Li Guofu's words were reasonable, but he could not swallow this anger. His camp had been bombed, and two of the members of the camp had been killed. He had to do something no matter what.

“Of course we have to fight back. Otherwise, I'll be ashamed to face the old man who saved me.”

Li Guofu immediately expressed that he was not afraid and only wanted to be more cautious.

“By the way, I met a mutant today. He said that he has organized a group of people to fight against Nete Tech and invited me to join them. Do you think we can cooperate with them?”

Zhou Chen shared this information with Li Guofu..
