Returning to Building World!
Located at the border, the natural environment of Zhenyuan City was relatively good. 80% of the area under its jurisdiction was filled with primitive mountain forests.
The trees here were mostly coniferous forests and white birches. From afar, they looked connected and spectacular.
It was said that there was a huge fire in the forest one year. The people who lived in the deep mountains were surrounded. There was no place to hide from the fire, because there were burning tall trees everywhere.
In the end, only by crawling into the culvert by the roadside could they escape.
Traffic was inconvenient in most places in the mountains. The deeper the mountains, the fewer people there were. Some places needed satellite phones to maintain communication with the outside world.
Especially in winter, if they didn’t use shovels and bulldozers to clear the snow, the roads buried under the snow often couldn’t be opened until April or May in spring.
The road that the two of them walked on was relatively flat. Often, heavy cars that carried logs and rocks would pass by.
As the saying went, one relied on the mountains for food and the rivers for water. In the early years of Zhenyuan City, the fishing and forestry industries were developed, producing carp and high-quality wood. They had once contributed a lot to the construction of the country.
In the later stages, when resources were exhausted and the fishing industry withered and the logging of trees was controlled, the locals had to adapt. They showed their abilities and used the surrounding mountains and rivers to farm, travel, and process wild vegetables. Because of this, many people became rich tycoons.
The local rich people all owned a few houses in the local area as well as the southern coastal province. Every year, they flew around like migratory birds.
Although the scenery on both sides of the road was not bad, looking at it for a long time still made one feel tired. Tang Zhen and Xu Feng chatted casually to kill time. Finally, they arrived at their destination after a bumpy journey.
This was a place with lush vegetation, revealing a primitive appearance.
After jumping out of the car, Tang Zhen took a deep breath at the waterfall on the cliff in front of him. He turned around and praised Xu Feng, “You’re really something. You actually found such a paradise. If it weren’t for the fact that I couldn’t bear to leave the colorful world outside, I would really want to come here to live in seclusion and retire.”
Xu Feng looked like he had seen a ghost. “Living in seclusion doesn’t seem to be a life that a commoner like you can tolerate, right? I’m afraid that in less than a month, you’ll cry and shout that you want to leave, right?”
Tang Zhen smiled in embarrassment and didn’t refute. He knew his own character very well. He definitely wouldn’t abandon the world and live in seclusion.
Xu Feng was very familiar with the environment here. According to him, he had come here to fight bears before. One of the bears was even bigger than a big water buffalo. It didn’t stop breathing after being shot more than ten times. In the end, it was still stabbed to death with a wild boar spear.
The two of them walked along the gravel path covered in weeds. They kept taking turns the entire way and finally stopped in front of a wooden house built with logs.
It was said that the wooden house in front of Tang Zhen didn’t have a single nail, but it looked rather sturdy. After looking at it for a while, Tang Zhen couldn’t help but click his tongue in wonder.
At this moment, the door of the wooden house was pushed open, and a young man with very high cheekbones walked out.
This person smiled when he saw Xu Feng. Then, he waved and let the two of them enter the room to talk.
“Hello, Young Master Feng. Long time no see!”
The young man spoke rather stiffly, clearly not used to communicating in Mandarin.
The decorations in the room were very simple. Most of the furniture was made of wood. A brick bed was placed by the window. On the brick bed were a few small items made of birch bark. It had a very primitive and natural charm.
At this moment, there was no one else in the room other than the three of them. Xu Feng went straight to the point.
“Alright, stop dawdling. Hurry up and take out the things. We’re rushing back before dark!”
The young man didn’t hesitate when he heard that. He turned around and took out a long cloth bag from a cattail mat. After unfolding it, the things inside fell out.
Tang Zhen focused and saw that it was a semi-automatic rifle and a shotgun.
Tang Zhen went forward to take a look happily. He was surprised to discover that the five or six rifles were well maintained. There were no obvious injuries on the surface, and the gun oil had not dried up. Even the rifling was very clear.
There was a silver-gray bayonet that was flipped upside down at the muzzle. It was the famous weapon of the Chinese Army—the three-edged bayonet.
This bayonet had already been sharpened by the blade. The three blood grooves and the tip flickered with a dangerous light, making it obvious that one would definitely die after being stabbed by it.
For such an old gun that had been out of the factory for 50 years, it was very rare for it to be so well maintained.
It seemed that the owner of this gun was also a person who loved and understood guns. Tang Zhen was very satisfied with this.
The shotgun should be Russian. Tang Zhen couldn’t recognize the model.
In the paper box beside the gun were 7.62-caliber rifle bullets and some loose bullets. There were roughly more than 300 rounds. Coupled with the pistol he already had, he should be able to use it for a while.
Tang Zhen was naturally very satisfied with this rifle, so he simply nodded and said, “These guns are not bad. I want them. Where’s the explosives?”
The young man glanced at Xu Feng when he heard that, and his expression seemed to be a little hesitant. Seeing this, Tang Zhen directly opened his backpack and took out some money.
When the young man saw the money, he turned around and took out a plastic bag from a nearby hole. After opening it, various detonator fuses were revealed, as well as a tube of TNT wrapped in a yellow oil paper tube.
Tang Zhen roughly counted. There were more than 40 tubes.
“I got these detonators and TNT from the gold company in the past. The gun and explosives are a total of 50,000 yuan.”
The young man pushed the plastic bag over. Tang Zhen didn’t hesitate and directly took out five stacks of money and handed it over. The transaction was completed after the young man checked that there were no mistakes.
Since their goal had been achieved, Tang Zhen and Xu Feng didn’t stay any longer. They directly drove away.
As they had brought contraband with them when they returned, the two of them simply didn’t stay in Zhenyuan City anymore and directly drove all the way home.
After entering the city, Tang Zhen and Xu Feng separated halfway. Xu Feng continued to complete his hunt, while Tang Zhen hurriedly returned home and put everything he needed into the storage space.
With these things, Tang Zhen had a plan for how to escape the room in the wild building.
After returning home, Tang Zhen packed up a little and combined the TNT he had bought.
The young man from before had already given Tang Zhen guidance, so it didn’t take long for him to make a simple bomb.
After thinking about it, Tang Zhen felt a little worried, so he made a few more and placed them in the storage space.
After putting on the leather cloak and opening the Quantum Invisibility Screen, Tang Zhen took a few deep breaths and resolutely activated the teleportation!
Before his vision recovered, Tang Zhen felt a strange smell floating in the air. When he carefully distinguished it, it was a thick bloody aura that just would not dissipate.
The last time he escaped, there was no such smell, so Tang Zhen’s vigilance increased again.
“Roar!”
Before Tang Zhen could adapt to the dark light here, he heard the roar of a zombie monster. At the same time, he felt as if a monster was pouncing at him.
Magnesium Explosion!
Tang Zhen’s reaction was extremely fast. He instantly activated the app he recently downloaded.
In an instant, extremely dazzling light erupted from where Tang Zhen was, illuminating the area of the room.
At this moment, Tang Zhen’s other application, the All Purpose Data Battle Interface, came into play. The strong light in front of him was quickly filtered out, allowing him to see the scene in front of him clearly.
It was precisely because he saw the scene in front of him clearly that Tang Zhen couldn’t help but curse.
“Damn, am I using cannons to kill mosquitoes?”
At this moment, at the exit of the room, ten huge zombie monsters were densely packed. Every one of them had strength above level four!
[Zombie Centurion, level-four monster. It has extraordinary strength and is violent and bloodthirsty. It can use simple martial arts. Its weakness is the back of its head.]
Although they were a little panicked by the explosive light, unfortunately, these Zombie Centurions didn’t completely rely on their vision to locate their prey, but on their perception of aura.
Ordinary zombie monsters couldn’t sense Tang Zhen’s aura, but these Zombie Centurions could.
This was also why as soon as Tang Zhen appeared, these monsters quickly locked onto him and were about to swarm over.
What Tang Zhen didn’t know was this was partly because he had stolen that box. Moreover, many things had happened in the past few days, causing the Zombie Lord to strengthen the safety defense measures of the wild building.
The ten Zombie Centurions could resist hundreds of ordinary wanderers without being at a disadvantage. In addition to the heavy defense outside, the Zombie Lord was confident that no one could break in.
Out of caution, it also set up a warning measure in the room where Tang Zhen had disappeared.
The Corpse Demon Lord specially instructed its subordinates to immediately kill anyone who triggered the alarm he had set in this room!
The Zombie Centurion who rushed into the room with various weapons in hand seemed to be ready to turn him into meat paste in the next second. Seeing this, how could Tang Zhen dare to stay?
Without hesitation, he waved at the monsters and threw the bomb in his hand. Then, he teleported away again.
