Chapter 172 Forced To Join, Long Range Activation
"I've already said it. It's because I have the ability to heal mild apocalyptic pollution," The old man insisted on his previous claim.
"Hehe, you're quite stubborn." Zhou Chen knew that this old man was definitely lying. He was pondering if he should kill him to see if any passive skills would drop.
However, a thought suddenly flashed across his mind. He recalled an important matter and felt that there was no need to be in such a hurry.
"Old man, you and I have offended that Nete Tech. We could be said to be in the same boat. I'll give you a choice. Join my team and become my healer. What do you think?" Zhou Chen smiled at the old man.
"As long as you join me, I will protect you from the people of Nete Tech. You just need to do some healing work."
"Young man, you might be really strong, but Nete Tech is not that easy to deal with," the old man shook his head slightly.
"Oh? Looks like you're unwilling. Then I'll have to send you to hell!" Zhou Chen's eyes immediately turned sharp. He raised his hand and was about to punch the old man to death.
However, the old man was clearly afraid of death. When he saw Zhou Chen like this, he immediately retreated and waved his hand frantically, "I'll join! I'll join your team!"
"That's good. Behave yourself in the future. Don't keep thinking of escaping." Zhou Chen's attack stance just now was only a threat. If he really wanted to attack, the old man would have already died many times.
"Old man, pack your supplies. Hurry up." After forcing the old man to join his team, Zhou Chen immediately got him to move.
The old man seemed to be a little unwilling, but he was afraid of Zhou Chen, so he quickly moved. He put some cans, mineral water, clothes, and other things into a backpack and carried them on his back.
"Alright, let's start searching this building."
After getting the old man to pack, Zhou Chen got Lucy to monitor the old man while he led them to search the building. His main goal in coming to this building was to find a monster that might have passive skills.
Soon, Zhou Chen led them to break into the rooms. Occasionally, they would rummage through the cabinets because Zhou Chen had lost the support of the organization and had become a wanderer. He had to consider things like food supplies.
At this moment, they arrived before a closed door. Zhou Chen walked in front and said to the two people behind him, "Stand back. There are too many monsters here."
Then, he kicked the door open and followed up with Eight Desolates True Energy attack, knocking back the few humanoid monsters that were about to charge out.
Crack!
Then, there was a crisp sound. Two of the humanoid monsters were covered in white frost. They fell to the ground and shattered like glass.
"The Eight Desolates True Energy can also trigger Freeze?"
Zhou Chen was surprised. He had silently activated the Freeze passive skill before kicking the door open. He had originally planned to test the effect of the Freeze after attacking the monsters in close combat, it was quite surprising to know that the Eight Desolates True Energy attack could also trigger the Freeze passive skill. Moreover, the freezing effect seemed to be quite good, freezing the two humanoid monsters in the air. They fell to the ground and shattered, as dead as a dodo.
"So this passive skill is this useful. My combat strength has increased greatly."
Zhou Chen knew very well what this long range attack along with the powerful crowd control skill meant. While he was thinking, he punched a few of the humanoid monsters that had not triggered the Freeze passive and were crawling up from the ground.
Zhou Chen strolled into the room and began to search for anything valuable. Specifically, it was bottled water, food, batteries, and firearms. This place was not a special organization, and there were no high-tech products. He could only look forward to these basic supplies.
He placed the looted items in a backpack and handed it to Lucy to carry. Lucy was now mainly in charge of two things: observing the old man and carrying things.
Because Zhou Chen could obtain energy by sunbathing, he did not collect much food, it was mainly water and batteries.
A few minutes later, they finished sweeping the room and moved to the next location.
Zhou Chen lost interest in the building and confirmed that there was nothing else he could gain here.
"Lucy, where is the next place?" At this moment, they walked out of the building and returned to the street.
"Three kilometers to the northeast, Captain," Lucy replied immediately.
"Okay, bring me there," Zhou Chen began to let Lucy indicate the directions while he paved the way.
"Old man, look at how fortunate you are. As soon as you joined my team, you obtained two great bodyguards. No one can threaten you," Zhou Chen teased the white-haired old man who was sandwiched in the middle of the group.
The old man was silent for a moment before answering, "I suggest that we leave this city quickly. The people from Nete Tech might be here soon."
"I have my plans. You don't have to worry." Zhou Chen thought nothing of it. He obviously knew that Nete Tech might send reinforcements, but this was not necessarily a bad thing. He would be able to kill a few more mutants and increase his strength.
While answering, Zhou Chen casually released Eight Desolates True Energy more than ten meters to the side, sending a strange flesh monster that was charging over flying. It turned into an ice sculpture in the air and shattered on the ground.
'There's no passive skill…' Zhou Chen had not seen this monster before. He was slightly looking forward to a new passive skill, but his luck was not good. This monster did not give him a passive skill.
While Zhou Chen was feeling a little regretful, the old man in the middle of the group could not help but glance at the monster's corpse that had turned into ice dregs.
He had already figured out Zhou Chen's ability. It was indeed quite strong, making him not dare to escape. He was afraid that he would end up like these monsters if he was not careful.
After Zhou Chen killed or turned all the monsters he encountered into ice dregs, Lucy led them into a park and stopped in front of an artificial lake.
"Captain, according to the information, the monster that can cause hallucinations is in this lake."
