Lu Feng watched clearly as the hover vehicle drew near.
The hovertruck didn’t float very high, just a short distance off the ground. Perhaps the technology had only developed to this stage and wasn’t yet at the exaggerated, sky-filling level seen in sci-fi movies.
The hovertruck was carrying over twenty people, making it look crowded.
After the truck stopped, all the mbers of the Gray Wolf rcenary Corps jumped out.
Their leader was a man with a scar on his face. With a wave of his hand, the other mbers of the Gray Wolf rcenary Corps spread out. Monts later, they found the bodies of the two corps mbers who had been killed earlier.
Soone imdiately reported to the scar-faced man, "Captain, we’ve found their bodies. One was pierced through the chest with a sharp weapon, and the other has gunshot wounds. They must have discovered a Survivor Base here and were then found out."
The scar-faced man grew excited upon hearing this. "If they were able to take down our two n, it ans they’re not weak. This could be a fairly large Survivor Base."
At these words, the eyes of the other Gray Wolf rcenary Corps mbers lit up.
A larger Survivor Base usually ant a lot of survivors.
The more people it could support, the richer its resources.
Crucially, survivors themselves were sotis a resource. Many of the more desirable ones could be sold for a good price.
As the mbers of the Gray Wolf rcenary Corps were pondering this, they suddenly noticed movent outside a nearby building. Then, they saw a figure dash frantically into the building.
Seeing this, the scar-faced man snorted coldly. "That must be their lookout. They saw the Gray Wolf rcenary Corps coming and fled in a panic. Take them alive."
With that, the scar-faced man quickly charged toward the nearby building.
The others thought it made sense and imdiately followed.
Only four people stayed behind to guard the hovertruck.
Inside the building not far away, Lu Feng entered the lobby, opened the valves on several gas canisters placed there, and then stepped into a stairwell to the side.
’My acting of running into the building in a panic just now should have been convincing,’ he thought. ’It ought to fool those Gray Wolf rcenary Corps mbers.’
Sure enough, a flurry of footsteps echoed monts later.
The scar-faced man burst in with the rest of the Gray Wolf rcenary Corps.
"What’s that sll?"
"This sll isn’t right."
"..."
As soon as they entered, they slled the gas lingering in the air.
The scar-faced man frowned. "Never mind that. Find him, and rember, I want him alive... He’s behind the stairs?"
Before he could finish, he saw Lu Feng erge from behind the stairs. He let out a great shout, only to be greeted by the sight of a sparking lighter.
Before the scar-faced man could process what was happening, he was stunned to see Lu Feng’s figure vanish on the spot.
The other mbers of the Gray Wolf rcenary Corps saw it happen at the sa instant.
Their eyes widened in unison, a look of terror dawning within them.
Then, they saw a cloud of fire erupt before them as the gas in the air instantly ignited.
"Fall back—" The scar-faced man instantly knew sothing was wrong, but as he yelled, a massive explosion rang out.
The gas canister he had rigged exploded instantly.
Imdiately after, the other five gas canisters were caught in the blast, also exploding violently.
A series of thunderous booms rang out.
Flas instantly filled the entire lobby. A terrifying shockwave swept through, and the scar-faced man and his Gray Wolf rcenary Corps mbers felt an agonizing, tearing pain all over their bodies.
A mont later, they fell silent.
The massive explosions also instantly drew the attention of Lin Jiao and the others outside. They knew what it ant: the n from the Gray Wolf rcenary Corps were finished.
The four Gray Wolf rcenary Corps mbers guarding the hovertruck were also instantly drawn to the trendous noise.
They looked over and saw jets of fire and shockwaves erupting from the building their comrades had charged into.
The horrifying scene made them realize their comrades were probably dood.
But before the four could react, three laser beams shot out, instantly striking three of them.
Lin Jiao and the brothers, Chen Tao and Chen Hao, who were ard with laser rifles, had made their move.
The power of the lasers surpassed that of bullets. In an instant, grueso wounds were blasted into their bodies, and they fell down stiffly.
The last remaining man’s face turned utterly grim.
’Another one of those terrifying explosions, and now laser weapons... Did we stumble upon a large-scale Survivor Base?’
’And a powerful one at that.’
Then, another laser beam shot out, finishing off this last man.
「...」
「In the warehouse.」
Lu Feng’s figure appeared out of thin air. The next mont, he stared in surprise at the prompts in his mind:
[Congratulations! You have killed a depraved murderer. Reward: 50 EXP!]
[Congratulations! You have killed a depraved murderer. Reward: 20 EXP!]
...
[Congratulations! You have killed a depraved murderer. Reward: 1 EXP!]
[Congratulations! You have killed a depraved murderer. Reward: 20 EXP!]
Lu Feng stared blankly at the prompts appearing in his mind.
’I get experience for killing people in the ga world, too?’
But based on the prompts, it didn’t seem like just any killing would grant experience.
The description was "depraved murderer."
This was clearly referring to the mbers of the Gray Wolf rcenary Corps. In this post-apocalyptic world, they plundered other survivors, trafficked slaves, and killed the innocent wantonly. It was no exaggeration to call them depraved humans.
Although fighting and plundering were common in the apocalypse, most survivors still retained their humanity. Lin Jiao and her group, for example, wouldn’t kill just for the sake of killing.
Apparently, the experience from these people ranged from 1 to 50. This likely wasn’t due to a difference in strength or power. If it were based on power, the Mutant Beast Slaying Dog was worth 100 EXP.
’So, it’s probably determined by the extent of their evil deeds,’ he mused. ’Why else call them ’depraved murderers’?’
The deeper their depravity, the higher the experience; the less evil they were, the lower the experience.
This thod of evaluation was far more surprising than the strength-based experience system for monsters and zombies.
’All I can say is, the system is aweso.’
Lu Feng also checked his character stats: LV 8: 1434/12800.
This wave had clearly netted him over 300 experience points.
Looking at the ga world screen again, the lobby was now a scorched black ss, pockmarked by explosions and littered with the dismbered remains of the Gray Wolf rcenary Corps.
With a thought, he entered the ga world. The sll of blood and scorched flesh imdiately assaulted his nostrils.
Then, seeing the limbs scattered everywhere, he couldn’t help but feel a wave of nausea. Witnessing this firsthand was a completely different feeling from watching it through the god’s-eye view of the ga screen.
It was his first ti facing such a visceral scene, and the revulsion was uncontrollable.
The psychological impact was the worst part.
After all, he was the one who had personally dealt with them. This was his first ti killing people, and so many at once.
Lin Jiao and the others ran in from outside.
After surveying the scene inside and confirming there were no more threats, Lin Jiao reported, "Boss, the ones outside have been taken care of too. If these n don’t return, the Gray Wolf rcenary Corps will surely co for us with everything they’ve got next ti. If they don’t get rid of us, and word gets out, their fearso reputation will take a massive hit."
Lu Feng naturally understood this logic.
’That’s why the gas canisters in the bank are waiting to welco them.’
Once outside, Lu Feng walked over to the hovertruck with great interest.
Back in the real world, hover cars had always been one of the hottest topics in cutting-edge technology.
But the problems with hover technology weren’t so easily solved. That was why major car manufacturers were currently focusing their efforts on developing electric cars, and with great success.
With the real world’s current technology, it was unlikely that hover cars would be available to the public within the next thirty years.
’If I could bring the technology for this thing back to the real world, it would shock the entire planet.’
But as the saying goes, a thousand-mile journey begins with a single step. He didn’t understand the first thing about hover technology right now, and in the real world, he lacked the basic resources to produce it anyway.
’So, after we take over the Gray Wolf rcenary Corps’ base, we can develop that residential area. I’ll have Lin Jiao and the others recruit more pre-apocalypse tech experts.’
’I can build an apocalyptic version of a research facility there, slowly reverse-engineer the technology from this ga world, and then bring it back to reality.’
And in this ga world, the most precious resource was just food. He could easily purchase food in the real world and transport it here. For him, that was a tiny price to pay.
What was the one thing the real world didn’t lack? Food.
Grandpa Yuan’s technology had given everyone the capital to eat until they were stuffed, to the point of being bored out of their minds.
Xu Bin inspected the hovertruck and said, "Boss, this truck has a tracking system. Should I disable it? Otherwise, the Gray Wolf rcenary Corps will have an easier ti finding us next ti."
Lu Feng smiled. "I want them to have an easier ti finding us. Drive this truck back to the bank settlent. You guys know how to drive this, right?"
His words made Lin Jiao and the others inexplicably think of the gas canisters back at the bank.
The Gray Wolf rcenary Corps had a notorious reputation; they should have been wary of them.
But for so reason, they now found themselves sowhat looking forward to their arrival.
’Taking over the Gray Wolf rcenary Corps’ base with the boss... that would be pretty exciting, wouldn’t it?’
"I do!" Xu Bin said without hesitation, imdiately claiming the driver’s seat.
The brothers, Chen Tao and Chen Hao, clearly wanted to volunteer too, but they were a step too slow.
No matter the era, vehicles were clearly one of n’s greatest passions.
Even though this was just a truck—crude in appearance, not cool or flashy, and certainly not beautiful—this was the apocalypse. Any vehicle was a rare treasure.
Xu Bin quickly started the hovertruck and drove it directly toward the bank settlent.
It was Lu Feng’s first ti riding in a hover vehicle, and it was a truly strange and wonderful experience.
Moreover, the floating sensation of the hovertruck was incredibly comfortable, far beyond what any real-world car could compare to.
