“There’s a severe pollution area 110 kilometers to the north,” Lucy replied.
“What about the mild pollution area? Which direction is the closest to it?” After some thought, Zhou Chen felt that it was better to go to the mild pollution area. The density of the monsters there was low, and it was suitable to survive through this Survival mission.
“The south is the closest. There is a mild pollution area 70 kilometers away, but I don’t know if it has been contaminated. There is a mild pollution area 100 kilometers to the west, and another one 160 kilometers to the north.” After Zhou Chen’s reminder, Lucy considered the influence of the Calamity Grade monster.
“Then let’s go to the south. We’ll see how things go.” Zhou Chen felt that the mild pollution area to the north was somewhat far.
The two of them then headed south, crossing the city ruins.
After jumping off the building and reaching the street, they encountered the welcoming of the residents of this moderate pollution area. A few humanoid monsters wandering on the street charged at them.
Zhou Chen casually punched out a few times and broke them into two with his Eight Desolates True Energy. They lost the ability to run and could only crawl toward him.
However, Zhou Chen clearly would not wait for them to crawl over. He attacked them this way to reduce their speed so that they could not catch up to him.
After passing through this street and entering another narrow city path, the two of them shook off the crippled monsters and continued south.
After walking for a while, Zhou Chen suddenly sensed that there was something attacking them from behind, so he pulled Lucy to the side.
Then, he turned around and realized that a black, smelly mucus monster had appeared behind them at some point in time. It was retracting its long liquid tentacles, preparing to launch another attack.
“A monster mutated from sewage?” Zhou Chen guessed from its disgusting appearance.
Then, he breathed flames at this monster.
It was easy to infer that physical attacks would definitely have little or no effect on this monster that was completely liquid. He had to use elemental attribute attacks.
His action was effective. After the black mucus monster was swept by the flames, it instantly retreated into a nearby sewer lid that was filled with cracks.
Zhou Chen tried to chase after it, but the monster was very fast. The sewer cover was very narrow, and the sewers split into every direction, making him give up on chasing it.
“Looks like there are many strange monsters here. I can stay for a while to hunt them.” Strange monsters meant that there might be a new passive skill to gain from them. Zhou Chen decided to slow down and see if he could gain anything here.
“Lucy, do you have any information on the monsters here?” Since there was a native beside him, Zhou Chen would definitely make use of her.
“Yes,” Lucy nodded. “There are 32 types of monsters recorded in this pollution area. If we count those that are not recorded, there might be a hundred.”
“So many? I have to take a good look.” Thinking that he had only seen a few types of monster, Zhou Chen felt even more interested.
“Tell me what types they are. There’s no need to mention the ones we encountered earlier.” He was prepared to sweep the area.
“Alright, Captain. According to the information, there are two types of monsters mutated from street lamps…” Lucy began to introduce the monsters here to Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen listened carefully and asked some relevant questions from time to time to confirm which monsters were more valuable to hunt.
‘An invisible monster mutated from glass?’ Suddenly, Zhou Chen heard of a monster that interested him. This monster was mutated from glass in the polluted area and had the characteristics of invisibility. According to Lucy, this monster had once caused some damage to the exploration team, and Teresa had to come personally to kill it.
‘Invisibility is a great ability. I need to see if I can obtain it.’ Zhou Chen felt that this monster had more potential. It might have an invisibility passive skill.
As Lucy continued to introduce the monsters found here, Zhou Chen took note of a few more interesting monsters.
“Where do these monsters appear? Take me near there,” He said to Lucy.
“The nearest is 11 kilometers to the east, inside a large building,” Lucy replied.
“Alright, let’s go.” Zhou Chen’s speed and stamina were very high. It would not take long for him to cover the ten kilometers, so he decided to try his luck.
Lucy naturally would not refuse. She followed Zhou Chen to the east. When they encountered ordinary monsters on the way, they would run if they could. If not, Zhou Chen would deal with them.
After a while, they arrived before an abandoned large building.
“According to the information, that monster appeared in this building. It is very fast, Captain, you have to be careful.”
The monster in this building was an agility-type monster that Zhou Chen was interested in. He felt that killing this monster might upgrade his Agility Enhancement passive skill.
“Oh? There’s someone in this building?” However, before he could see the monster, Zhou Chen suddenly realized that there was a human inside the building through the Bloodthirst passive skill.
“Let’s go in and take a look.” Zhou Chen’s interest was piqued. A human being was in this moderate pollution area, which meant that the person was likely a mutant.
They entered the building and headed for their destination.
Zhou Chen knocked on a closed door and asked, “Is anyone here?”
No one answered.
“Is anyone here?” Zhou Chen repeated.
Still no answer.
Bang!
Zhou Chen kicked open the door and looked inside.
Inside the building, a white-haired old man was pointing a rifle at Zhou Chen and Lucy with a cold gaze and asked in an unfriendly tone, “Who are you?! How did you know I was here?!”
“We are just passing by,” Zhou Chen replied calmly.
“I realized that there was someone living here, so I came to visit. Can you put the gun down first?” Zhou Chen spoke the truth, although he felt that the old man would not believe it.
“Do you think I’m a child?” As expected, a cold smile appeared on the old man’s face. “Tell me the truth! Otherwise, I’ll shoot!”
“What I said was the truth,” Zhou Chen’s expression was calm. ƒ𝑟𝐞𝗲𝘄𝙚𝚋𝑛o𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝘰𝓂
Bang!
Suddenly, the white-haired old man was about to pull the trigger of the gun when he realized that his gun had flown out and hit the wall beside him.
Zhou Chen had predicted that he would attack and immediately used the Eight Desolates True Energy to knock the gun away.
The old man wanted to pounce over and grab the gun, but before he could move, a pair of strong arms grabbed him from behind..
