Seeing that the monster had fallen silent, a heavy weight finally lifted from Wang Chao's heart. In truth, he had been taking a gamble, betting on his ability to transform his fingers into bone spikes at the last moment. He wagered that the monster would prioritize defense, and as long as he attacked multiple parts of it simultaneously, it would instinctively use its mouth to block. He gambled that the creature could only manifest six mouths at most.
It turned out that Wang Chao's gamble was correct. When the monster's arm struck his neck, he felt a jolt of fear, but when he didn't feel the sharp teeth biting into him, he knew that he had emerged victorious in this battle against the creature. Earlier, he had seen the monster crawling on the ground, consuming aviation fuel, but he hadn't anticipated that it could actually breathe fire. If he hadn't grasped the use of his fingers at the last moment, he would have been incinerated by that flame.
As Wang Chao returned his hands to normal, the monster's body collapsed to the ground without support, its six mouths remaining in place. It truly was a troublesome Zombie. Wang Chao severed the Zombie's head, and a crystal appeared before him. He picked it up and examined it; it was a crystal radiating a silvery glow, seemingly larger than the one he had encountered before. However, at that moment, Wang Chao chose not to absorb the energy within this crystal but instead stored it in his Spatial Ring.
Moreover, he had managed to obtain two large barrels of aviation fuel. One barrel was placed into his Spatial Ring while he carried the other in hand. Although he wasn't sure how long this fuel would last, one large barrel should suffice for several weeks. As he pondered this, he hurried back to the location of the helicopter.
Upon arriving at the helicopter site, Shen Zhitao and Tang Feng were already waiting for him. When they saw Wang Chao approaching with a large barrel in hand, Shen Zhitao remarked, "You really are slow. But is that large barrel you’re carrying fuel for the helicopter?"
Wang Chao thought to himself that they had merely drawn away a horde of Zombies. Despite their numbers, they posed little danger compared to his solo fight with that Six-Petal Mouth monster; it had been as easy as drinking beer and eating fried chicken. However, his Spatial Ring now contained a silvery energy crystal. "That's right," Wang Chao replied as he lifted the large barrel of aviation fuel for Shen Zhiying inside the helicopter to see. Upon seeing it, Shen Zhiying nodded and said, "Good, this will be enough for several weeks."
Hearing this eased Wang Chao's mind; there was still another barrel in his Spatial Ring. However, with this new barrel of fuel, his Spatial Ring was completely filled up—he could only store smaller items from now on. Fortunately, he didn’t need much storage space at the moment. After loading the barrel onto the helicopter, everyone boarded.
"Now then, where is our destination?" Shen Zhiying asked once everyone was settled.
Wang Chao thought for a moment before responding, "Let's head north first and search nearby neighborhoods or villages from north to south. Da Qiang should definitely be in Jing City by now; it's been two months since we came here from the capital. Even Little Wolf has grown over two meters tall by now. Unless something unexpected happened, Da Qiang must have made it to Jing City by crawling."
Shen Zhiying nodded in agreement as the helicopter started up and flew northward. Since they had Wan'er as a living map during their arrival, they hadn’t explored this area yet. Looking down from above revealed many places still resembling shantytowns surrounded by abandoned mines; it seemed these mining operations had been halted for quite some time due to policies aimed at environmental protection and urban transformation.
"Down there! There are people!" Shen Zhitao pointed out several dark figures near one of the mines. Wang Chao squinted and realized those moving beings were humans—alive and capable of running and jumping—unlike Zombies. Following them were a pack of Zombie Dogs; clearly, those humans stood no chance against such creatures.
"Gunshots!" Shen Zhitao exclaimed. "Lower altitude; we need to check this out."
"Wang Chao also said, 'That's right, let's go down and take a look!'
Shen Zhiying heard their words and didn’t hesitate. She directly lowered the helicopter's altitude. Since this was a shantytown with no tall buildings, the helicopter could descend quite low. As the aircraft descended, everyone could see more clearly. Indeed, there was a group of over ten people, and among them, a few held weapons—military-grade firearms. This meant that these individuals were either soldiers or civilians armed with military weapons.
The helicopter was still about six or seven meters above the ground when Wang Chao, Tang Feng, Shen Zhitao, and Little Wolf opened the cabin door and jumped out of the transport helicopter. The group below had already heard the roar of the helicopter, but they were being closely pursued by Zombie Dogs and hardly had time to look up. At that moment, when the three men and one wolf jumped down, it startled them greatly.
Especially the wolf, which was pure white with flames for paws. Although it was only about two meters tall—shorter than those Zombie Dogs—it exuded an aura that those creatures could not compare to. As Wang Chao landed and was about to draw his hand like a knife, he suddenly remembered that these people were not his teammates.
If he recklessly used the Bone Knife, others would surely see him as a monster!
Fortunately, Tang Feng, Shen Zhitao, and Little Wolf were also formidable fighters. Tang Feng was the first to charge forward, wielding his Tang Dao to slash through the approaching Zombie Dogs. Shen Zhitao, who had just gained strength, quickly joined in to eliminate the Zombie Dogs as well. Little Wolf was even more ferocious; he darted in front of the Zombie Dogs and suppressed them solely with his imposing presence.
In contrast, Wang Chao felt somewhat helpless without a weapon. It seemed he needed to find a suitable weapon soon. What a pity about his long Black Gold Dagger that could slice through iron like mud! Seeing how fiercely these two men and one wolf fought made the others stop in their tracks. The leader of the group rushed forward with three armed companions to lend their support.
After a few minutes, the group of Zombie Dogs was completely wiped out. Wang Chao suddenly recalled his first encounter with Shen Zhitao when he had been trapped by a dozen Zombie Dogs in a cage. If only his strength then had matched what it was now, he wouldn’t have been so passive. By the way, what happened to Chen Feifei? He wondered how she was faring in the capital."
