Chapter 74 - 74: Testing the Demonic Tree! An Angry Man! (1)
Wang Chen looked at Fu Zhe’s corpse and fell silent for a moment. He did not feel too bad.
After all, Fu Zhe hadn’t known him for long and didn’t have too deep of a relationship with him.
He was only thinking about himself. Perhaps one day, he would also die silently at the hands of monsters.
“This way!”
At this moment, Chen Feng’s voice came from afar.
Wang Chen looked over and saw him running over with Pei Qingju and the others.
“Brother Wang, how is Fatty?” Duan Lang asked anxiously.
Because both of them were chubby, his relationship with Fu Zhe was closer than others. The rest of the people fell silent as soon as he finished speaking.
“He’s already dead,” Wang Chen stood up and calmly announced to everyone.
“It’s been hard on you.” He patted Chen Feng’s shoulder.
Chen Feng panted heavily. His eyes widened as he muttered, “If 1 were a little faster…just a little faster, his aunt might be able to save him.”
“Life and death are fated. He is already luckier than most people,” Wang Chen said.
According to the survival rate, there were probably less than 100 million Earthlings who were still alive.
“Are you alright?” Han Ying asked in a low voice.
Wang Chen looked too calm, which made her a little worried.
“No worries.” Wang Chen waved his hand and continued, “If you’re done with your matters, go back!”
He did not plan to stay in Scenic Town. There were too many professionals here, and it was not safe at the moment.
The Katjans and the escaped mutant humans were a huge threat.
“I want to find a place to bury Fatty,” Duan Lang said.
“Up to you.” Wang Chen did not object.
Wang Chen and the others left in a hurry with the corpse.
In the end, they did not bury Fu Zhe but chose to cremate him. There were mutants everywhere, and it was impossible to find peace buried in the soil.
As for Scenic Town, even without Wang Chen’s help, Zhao Qianhe had already begun to carry out his plan.
After the battle, many small organizations fell apart. This allowed his team to recruit a large number of members, and their strength was much stronger than before the war.
Under Zhao Qianhe’s organization, the Descenders began to clean up the buildings near the roulette, planning to set up camp there.
After that, more surviving Descenders arrived, causing the number of Descenders in the town to continuously increase.
On the other side, the defeated Descenders of Katja also returned to their stronghold. They did not intend to stop. They were prepared to wait for an opportunity to attack the Blue Star Descenders.
The next morning in the underground Shelter, Wang Chen was woken up by the System Wizard’s voice.
[Daily Mission: Kill Mutants xio. Mission Reward: +1,000 EXP! Current mission progress: 0/10]
‘This way, even the strength of ordinary Descenders can be steadily increased,’ Wang Chen looked at the mission reward and thought to himself.
Most of the Blue Star Descenders could only deal with monsters above Level
20.
Killing a monster of this level would only give him a few dozen EXP, and the increase was extremely slow.
After breakfast, Wang Chen and his group set off for Scenic Town.
Last night, he thought about how to deal with the Demonic Tree and finally had a clue. Therefore, he planned to make a trip to the gathering place of the Blue Star Descenders first.
“There are a lot more people than yesterday.”
As soon as he entered the town, Wang Chen sensed many prying eyes.
However, when they saw the silver armor on his body, they immediately retracted their gazes. After all, Wang Chen was not someone to be trifled with.
Wang Chen met Zhao Qianhe near the Doomsday Roulette.
“What are you doing here?” Zhao Qianhe immediately greeted him. He didn’t find Wang Chen and the others here last night, so he guessed that they had another place to stay.
Wang Chen glanced at the Descenders guarding the Doomsday Roulette and knew that Zhao Qianhe had already begun to carry out his plan.
However, he did not say anything. As long as Zhao Qianhe was not stupid enough to collect fees from him, he could not be bothered with this matter.
“I have a small matter to deal with,” he said calmly.
“How can I help?”
Zhao Qianhe’s eyes lit up. He wanted to try his best to befriend an expert like Wang Chen, so he didn’t mind doing something for him.
“There’s no need to trouble you, sir. 1 can handle it myself.” Wang Chen shook his head.
As he spoke, he strode forward and walked straight to the Doomsday Roulette.
The Descender on guard hesitated for a moment, but he was still very timid and did not disturb Wang Chen.
Wang Chen took out a sign from his Spatial Ring and inserted it into the crack of a stone. He stood it up and nodded in satisfaction.
“Let’s go!”
After doing this, Wang Chen prepared to leave.
At this moment, Pei Qingju suddenly spoke, “Sorry, I plan to stay here for the time being.”
“Huh?” Wang Chen looked at Pei Qingju in confusion.
“There are many injured people here,” Pei Qingju explained with a smile. She wanted to stay and earn Spirit Points. She might not have such an opportunity in the future.
Wang Chen immediately reacted.
Speaking of which, among them, other than him, Pei Qingju was the wealthiest.
“Up to you!” He did not object. In any case, Pei Qingju’s battle strength was average, and he would have to be distracted to look after her.
The four of them left.
The Descenders nearby crowded around and looked at the sign curiously.
[Buying Rank 2 and above long-range attack skills. If you are interested, you can come in the evening. The price is negotiable. Wang Chenli.J
“A Rank 2 long-range skill?”
“Sigh! Unfortunately, I only got a Rank 1 skill yesterday!”
“If only 1 had one. 1 would be able to build a relationship with Wang Chen and 1 won’t have to be afraid of Zhao Qianhe and the others.”
The Descenders discussed animatedly.
The news quickly spread among the Descenders in the town..
