Gray Wolf was clearly no fool. He was playing a waiting ga, letting his enemy tire themselves out.
This was also a form of psychological manipulation.
Even if his opponents fled overnight, the fact they could wipe out Scar’s squad ant they had a significant number of survivors. The psychological pressure, combined with a night of exhaustion, would only lead them to their doom.
Because no matter where they ran, they couldn’t escape.
As Gray Wolf thought this, he glanced toward a nearby post where two large hounds were tied.
These were his two prized possessions, and their specialty was tracking.
Outside, the sky was gradually darkening.
Lu Feng was heading back to the bank encampnt when he slapped his forehead, not having gone far. He realized he hadn’t thought things through properly.
’Damn it, why do I have to travel on foot?’
’The hover truck has a tracker, which I’m intentionally using to let the Gray Wolf rcenary Corps locate , so I can’t use it. But there are plenty of vehicles in the real world!’
He’d tested it before: he could only bring items into the ga world if he could physically lift them. He couldn’t lift a car yet, but with his current physique, he could definitely lift a motorcycle.
He was reminded of the heroine from an apocalyptic movie, riding a motorcycle wildly through desolate streets—cool, badass, a true biker.
Besides, the hover truck in the ga world wasn’t necessarily faster than a real-world motorcycle.
With this in mind, Lu Feng entered a building and, with a single thought, exited the ga world.
Back in the warehouse, the sky in the real world had already turned completely dark.
He drove back to his rented apartnt complex and called his cousin, Yang Ming.
The mont the call connected, he said, "Cousin, find soone with a motorcycle, have them fill it with gas, and bring it over to my apartnt. I need a fast one."
Although Yang Ming was puzzled by what his cousin was up to now, he didn’t ask any questions. He hung up and made the arrangents.
After hanging up, Lu Feng used the waiting ti to find a small diner. Upon entering, he called out to the owner, "Boss, one bowl of clear noodle soup, an order of pig head at, and two pieces of braised tofu!"
"Coming right up, sir! Please have a... seat..." The owner looked up at Lu Feng, and his voice inexplicably trailed off, becoming much quieter.
"???" Lu Feng gave the owner a puzzled look.
The owner just gave an awkward smile and hurried to prepare Lu Feng’s food.
He didn’t know Lu Feng, but for so reason, the sight of this custor had given him a strange, unsettling feeling.
He couldn’t explain it; it was just a very strange feeling.
Of course, neither the owner nor Lu Feng knew the reason: it was due to a killing aura. Anyone who has killed a lot will inevitably be tinged with it.
Many people might think the term "killing aura" is just a gimmick, but it’s a real phenonon.
For example, a ferocious, posturing dog or an arrogant, strutting goose will beco ek and listless upon seeing a butcher.
In fact, a killing aura even has a scientific explanation: pheromones. These are specific hormones that organisms secrete to convey certain information.
In any case, the explanation is complex. The bottom line was that Lu Feng had killed over twenty people. Whether indirectly with items or directly with his own hands, he had inevitably acquired a trace of a killing aura.
People like Lin Jiao, who were used to surviving in the apocalypse, might have grown accustod to this kind of aura.
But for an ordinary person living in the peaceful, modern world, it was no different than a dog or goose encountering a butcher.
Soon, the owner brought over the noodles and at.
As Lu Feng ate, his eyes were fixed on the ga interface, which was focused on Cangshan District, monitoring the Gray Wolf rcenary Corps’s movents.
Lu Feng finished his al and paid the bill. Just then, a motorcycle ca roaring up. It was a Honda Phantom 435, with a base price of 15,000.
Lu Feng recognized the young man on the bike; he was one of the guys his cousin Yang Ming had brought to Tianzhou City before.
Lu Feng walked right up to him and said, "Give the bike. And show your WeChat QR code."
"O-Okay." The young man nodded imdiately, got off the bike, and pulled up his WeChat QR code. He didn’t know why, but this Young Master Feng before him suddenly felt intimidating.
Unlike the deference he’d felt before, this was a deeper, almost instinctual fear.
Lu Feng added the young man on WeChat, transferred 20,000 to him, and then rode off on the motorcycle.
The young man watched Lu Feng disappear into the distance. He didn’t care what Young Master Feng wanted the bike for. A brand new one didn’t even cost 20,000, let alone his, which had been ridden for a while.
Lu Feng rode the Honda Phantom to the warehouse, locked the door from the inside, and glanced at the ga screen.
There was still no movent from Zhuangyuan District.
Seeing this, he hefted the Honda Phantom onto his shoulder and, with a single thought, vanished from the warehouse, taking the bike with him.
When he reappeared, he was inside the building in the ga world.
By now, night had also fallen in the ga world. The motorcycle’s roar was deafening in the silent darkness, piercing the night and stirring the nearby wandering zombies into a frenzy. The faint roars of Mutant Beasts could also be heard in the distance.
But the Honda Phantom had already shot forward, becoming a blur in the night.
With a re thought, Lu Feng even summoned his steel saber from his inventory.
His strength, more than double that of a normal person, allowed him to steadily control the motorcycle with one hand. When he encountered zombies wandering on the road, he could easily slice off their heads with a single slash.
[Congratulations! You have killed a zombie. You have gained 5 EXP!]
[Congratulations! You have killed a zombie. You have gained 5 EXP!]
...
[Congratulations! You have killed a zombie. You have gained 5 EXP!]
As the notifications rang out in his mind, Lu Feng couldn’t help but feel that he was just as cool as the heroine from that apocalyptic movie.
But the apocalyptic night was always fraught with danger. Being so conspicuous was like lighting a beacon for every Mutant Beast in the area.
Though the motorcycle was fast, and it was long gone by the ti most Mutant Beasts were drawn to the sound, leaving them behind in confusion.
But as the saying goes, walk the night roads enough and you’re bound to et a ghost. Sooner or later, a Mutant Beast would be close enough to give chase.
As he neared the bank encampnt, Lu Feng heard a beast roar behind him. Turning to look, he saw a Slaying Dog. It was howling as it closed in on the motorcycle, its speed incredible.
Lu Feng frowned. As he was trying to think of a strategy, another roar echoed, and a cheetah-like Mutant Beast burst onto the scene.
’Two Mutant Beasts will obviously be more trouble,’ he thought.
Just as Lu Feng was thinking this, he froze. The cheetah-like Mutant Beast had pounced on the Slaying Dog, and the two were viciously fighting each other.
"???" Lu Feng was dumbfounded.
’Mutant Beasts fight each other?’
’Or is it that different species of Mutant Beasts fight?’
’At least those four Slaying Dogs in the Departnt Store didn’t fight among themselves.’
Musing on this, Lu Feng stopped the motorcycle.
The two Mutant Beasts were locked in a fierce battle. He decided to sit back and enjoy the show.
Finally, he simply took the laser rifle from his inventory and took a potshot at the Slaying Dog’s head.
Taken by surprise, the Slaying Dog froze for a mont before collapsing to the ground. A bowl-sized hole had been bored straight through its head.
This Slaying Dog could take multiple hits from an old-fashioned pistol and survive, yet it was killed instantly by a single shot from the laser rifle.
That was the difference in power between old firearms and laser weapons.
It’s just that laser rifles were newly developed weapons and extrely rare.
Otherwise, these Mutant Beasts wouldn’t pose such a massive threat to survivors.
The cheetah-like Mutant Beast was clearly stunned when its opponent suddenly collapsed. It froze, its raised paw hovering uncertainly.
The next mont, another laser beam struck its head. Before it could react, it collapsed to the ground as well.
Lu Feng hadn’t expected to score such a nice bonus right before reaching his destination. Two laser shots had only consud two bars of energy, while just 2 energy points from a crystal core could completely refill the rifle’s ten-bar capacity.
And now, these two Mutant Beasts had just delivered two crystal cores right to his doorstep. A Slaying Dog crystal core alone held 13 energy points.
[This is the crystal core of a Mutant Beast Slaying Dog. It is extrely valuable and can be used as currency. Energy Value: 13.5!]
[This is the crystal core of a Mutant Beast Bloodthirsty Leopard. It is extrely valuable and can be used as currency. Energy Value: 14.5!]
Lu Feng dug out the two Mutant Beasts’ crystal cores and used his Prospecting skill to view their information.
Their energy values were nearly identical, which ant the two Mutant Beasts were evenly matched in strength. No wonder the fight had been so fierce, with neither able to gain the upper hand.
He didn’t bother investigating the two Mutant Beasts’ corpses, however.
Not all Mutant Beast at was edible like the Striped Bull’s, much less did it have special properties.
Back at the Departnt Store, he had learned from Lin Jiao that Slaying Dog at contained a paralytic toxin.
He couldn’t be bothered to investigate the Bloodthirsty Leopard’s at, either. With the two crystal cores secured, he got back on the motorcycle and headed for the bank encampnt.
The sound of the motorcycle naturally drew the attention of Lin Jiao and the others in the bank.
The group erged from the bank cautiously, breathing a sigh of relief when they saw it was Lu Feng. Then, one by one, their gazes were drawn to the motorcycle he was riding.
