Doomsday: I Can Get a Hint-Chapter 373 - 250: Return (Part 2)

Are they simply at odds with the Maoshan sect, wanting to wipe it out entirely?

"Two tasks. First is to track Ghost Warrior’s group, but you don’t need to take action yourself. Just determine where they settle, then gather some basic intelligence.

Secondly, investigate who exactly carried out the massacre on Maoshan."

Wang Hao assigned the Black Mist Man two tasks.

After all, he is the new Sect Leader of Maoshan’s Shangqing faction.

His sect was nearly exterminated; he has to look into it.

If their strength isn’t too overwhelming, it wouldn’t be impossible to avenge his sect members.

"Alright! I’ll handle it right away."

The Black Mist Man did not hesitate and agreed promptly.

"I’ll give you a code name. From now on, you’ll be called... Scorpion."

"Scorpion? Alright! I like this code name."

"This is my address. Once you’ve found something, come here to find me."

Wang Hao tossed out a slip of paper, thought for a moment, and added:

"If you need anything, you can talk to... um..."

Wang Hao paused.

Ask Chen Yuennan?

That doesn’t seem suitable. After the Sun Yaoyao incident, he no longer trusts Chen Yuennan much.

After all, she’s part of the Chen Family.

For ordinary matters, it’s fine, but with someone as powerful as the Black Mist Man, who knows what could happen.

Besides!

The Black Mist Man’s identity is sensitive right now.

If it’s leaked, some people might use it against him, which would be quite troublesome.

Public opinion is terrifying!

As for Tang Xueyi...

That’s even less of an option.

Though they had a few passionate nights, it’s not ancient times anymore; sleeping with someone doesn’t mean they’re yours, right?

People get married, have kids, and still divorce nowadays.

In our past civilized society, to many women, a one-night stand was no different than having a cup of milk tea.

Especially in this apocalypse.

Tang Xueyi, an ambitious woman, naturally doesn’t take such matters seriously.

She might even have a harem of male suitors, who knows.

Leaving such an important contact to her is less safe than letting Chen Yuennan handle it.

At this moment, Wang Hao suddenly realized there seemed to be no one truly trustworthy at his side.

"Haha, if you need anything, I’ll be in touch with you."

The Black Mist Man chuckled, clearly understanding Wang Hao’s predicament.

This is the difference between a nouveau riche and an established family.

Whether it’s Chen Tianlei, Ji Aimin, or Tang Xueyi,

they were important figures with a retinue of die-hard followers cultivated over years.

These followers more or less have fatal secrets in their leader’s hands.

The best Wang Hao can manage currently is the Charming Man.

"I will have to find a way to establish a specialized secret organization."

On his way home, Wang Hao thought to himself.

Although he has no ambitions, the era is forcing him to move.

He needs a dedicated intelligence organization, some people to assist him, and provide support.

He needs a professional organization.

With this in place, things will be much more convenient in the future.

.....

The next day

A massive convoy departed from the First Settlement Camp.

Wang Hao left the Settlement Camp.

Many people came to see him off, their eyes full of reluctance.

After the battle against the corpse tide, Wang Hao had become their greatest pillar.

With Wang Hao around, they felt assured.

Although Chen Tianlei, Tang Xueyi, and even Wang Hao himself said,

if the camp faced any danger, he would rush back immediately.

But it certainly wouldn’t be as reassuring as having Wang Hao there personally!

If any issue arose, he could act immediately.

If possible, they wished Wang Hao could stay.

Unfortunately, whether Wang Hao stayed or left wasn’t their decision to make.

Even Chen Tianlei and Tang Xueyi couldn’t make him stay.

No need to mention the future; as of now, Wang Hao’s combat strength is akin to a cheat code.

If he wants to leave, no one can stop him.

Sun Yaoyao sat in the car, glancing back at the Settlement Camp, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

"What’s the matter, Yaoyao? Reluctant to leave?"

Wang Hao asked with a smile.

"I’m worried about my cousin."

Sun Yaoyao sighed deeply.

Chen Yuennan, in the end, did not leave with them, choosing to stay at the First Settlement Camp.

"That’s her own choice. Besides, staying at the First Settlement Camp is the final destination for her."

Wang Hao said lightly.

To him, Chen Yuennan was no longer so important. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

The villa area no longer lacked someone of her combat prowess.

Having her stay at the camp as a liaison with Chen Tianlei was quite good.

After all, there would still be many areas of cooperation with the camp later.

"Hmm, I hope my cousin stays safe."

Sun Yaoyao nodded.

She was still a bit worried about Chen Yuennan.

After all, she’s a combatant, and even with Chen Tianlei’s protection, she’ll have tasks to carry out in the future.

As a Superpower User, to enhance her power, she needs to fight against monsters.

There are too many uncertainties there.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t bring Chen Yuennan back with her.

After previous events, a slight rift had formed in their relationship.

Although she didn’t mind, it seemed Chen Yuennan herself felt troubled.

Wang Hao also harbored some distrust.

No choice; this is how it is.

All things must end.

...

The convoy drove slowly.

In the convoy were special forces soldiers who had previously been posted to the Settlement Camp with Chen Yuennan, as well as their families.

Wang Hao took out many Crystal Stone weapons this time.

Bai Muran disappeared, and the armored vehicle was also driven over by him.

They were well-armed with ample firepower.

They didn’t encounter any large groups of zombies along the way.

Perhaps it was due to the mysterious assistance of the Emperor Dao’s fortune.

They didn’t come across Level 2 or Level 3 monsters either.

Wang Hao had no chance to make any moves.

He was inside the RV, immersed in studying the Thunder Technique.

After the battle with Ji Aimin, he deeply understood the terror of the Thunder Technique.

As the head of all Taoist spells, its power is indeed immense.

It’s worth studying and researching carefully.

He is only beginning to scratch the surface of the Thunder Technique.

More powerful techniques lie ahead.

Moreover, the Sealing Technique is extremely useful too.

However, he had to set that aside for now and focus on the Thunder Technique.

Such profound spells are usually not accessible to just anyone.

Even if you have a Spirit Root and you’re a Cultivator, it’s not enough.

Only those who are chosen as Sect Leader candidates through rigorous selection can cultivate it.

To master the Thunder Technique, one needs exceptionally high talent.

Wang Hao was an ordinary person, not even a top scholar like Sun Yaoyao or Chen Tingting.

Even if the Thunder Technique was placed before him for cultivation, it would be years before he could start.

Yet now, he has quickly managed to use it.

Even the Sealing Technique is like this; it’s all thanks to the Blade of Plunder.

The Blade of Plunder not only enhances Spiritual Power but also refines it constantly.

His mind, qualification, and overall attributes are continuously improving.

"What a wonderful thing!"

Wang Hao couldn’t help but feel a silent admiration.

Even now, the Blade of Plunder continuously absorbs Spiritual Qi, infusing it into his body, gradually boosting his power.

It’s like a lazy man’s Divine Artifact.

It’s like receiving endless money without working.

During the battle outside the city gate, he revealed some of the Blade of Plunder’s powers.

The Golden Threaded Blade, in particular, was visually striking.

Not only did it instantly kill so many monsters, but even Fatty Bai was cut into pieces.

This surely attracted the envy of many.

They just didn’t dare act given his current power.

Wang Hao thought maybe he could use the Blade of Plunder to set up a scheme later.

Root out some spies and eliminate some foes.

After all, others do not know that the Blade of Plunder has recognized him as its master, and only he can use it for now.
