What's wrong? Boss, is there something going on?
I've never seen you so nervous!
Amelia changed into a form-fitting, sexy long dress, holding a glass of red wine, and asked curiously.
Hmm... I just have a bad guess...
Isaac slowly walked to the balcony.
Bruni reported that enemies were heading towards headquarters.
And Zhang Chen just happened to say he was going to raid a camp...
Isn't that too coincidental!
Could it be... Zhang Chen is the man riding the giant wolf?
And the camp he said he was going to raid is this one?
We can't be this unlucky, to run into this jinx wherever we go?
Isaac rested his hands on the balcony railing, his gaze wandering aimlessly outside.
The hotel's location was excellent, offering a clear view of the city entrance.
Inadvertently, he noticed that the previously deserted street had suddenly gained many survivors.
These people clearly didn't belong to the same organization; their formation was scattered and sparse.
Some were in small groups of three to five, others in groups of seven or eight, and some survivors were moving alone.
Survivors from different camps appearing on this road simultaneously could only mean trouble!
Isaac followed the crowd with his gaze and saw a giant wolf of immense size walking slowly on the road.
A man and a little girl were riding on it.
Because of the distance, their faces were unclear.
However, the basic situation was similar to what Bruni had reported.
The man on the wolf's back appeared somewhat dazed, as if he were posting a message on the chat channel.
Ding dong! Your friend Zhang Chen has sent you a new message!
Zhang Chen: I don't know if energy beasts can be captured alive and have their allegiance re-established. You're a businessman and likely more knowledgeable than I am. Do you know if this thing can be sold?
Thump... thump... thump...
Isaac could hear his own heartbeat, so tense was he.
Could it be... the man riding the wolf is Zhang Chen?
Otherwise, why would his expression have just returned to normal when Isaac's message arrived?
And he specifically mentioned energy beasts...
Bruni's gang is called the Gorilla Legion because they were extremely lucky at the beginning of the apocalypse to tame a group of gorilla energy beasts.
Could the energy beasts Zhang Chen mentioned be...
Isaac, clinging to a sliver of hope, replied to Zhang Chen again:
Isaac: Energy beasts? I've heard of them. If they can be tamed, they are indeed marketable. However, energy beasts vary in strength. I wonder what kind of energy beasts Mr. Zhang is referring to?
After sending the message, Isaac quickly refocused his gaze on the man on the wolf's back.
He had just been chatting and laughing with the little girl, when his expression suddenly froze.
He was indeed checking the chat panel!
It's Zhang Chen!
It's really Zhang Chen!
He actually fought his way here!
Isaac's face instantly turned grim.
Meanwhile, downstairs, Bruni had already gathered all the members of the Gorilla Legion.
Four had died, leaving eighteen.
They formed ranks at the hotel entrance.
Behind each of them stood a large gorilla energy beast.
Ding dong! Your friend Zhang Chen has sent you a new message!
Zhang Chen: It's gorillas, uh... and a gray gorilla. This one is a bit difficult to describe, but I'll let you see it when we catch it!
A gray gorilla?
Isaac glanced down.
Indeed, behind Bruni stood a gorilla with somewhat graying fur, which was also much more robust than the other gorillas.
No need to analyze further, the man on the wolf is Zhang Chen!
Bazel, hurry over here!
Isaac frantically began to private message Bazel.
A moment later, the large simpleton Bazel arrived by Isaac's side.
What's up? Big brother, who do we need to kill?
Bazel grinned widely and asked.
You... you quickly use your [Basic Insight Eye] to see what level that guy on the wolf is!
Isaac grabbed Bazel and said urgently.
Let me see... it's... High Awakener Stage 3!
Same strength as mine!
But...
Bazel seemed to see something strange.
When Zhang Chen killed Lin Qingsong, he acquired the [Rare Skill: Weakening], which made his level appear lower than it actually was. His true level would only be displayed after entering combat.
Therefore, Bazel naturally saw Zhang Chen's strength as High Awakener Stage Three, not a Transcender.
But what? Hurry up and tell me!
When Isaac heard "High Awakener Stage 3," his mood lightened slightly.
Because Bazel was also High Awakener Stage Three, coupled with his elite squad and the Gorilla Legion, they could completely defeat Zhang Chen!
But when he heard "but," he knew... Zhang Chen was definitely not that simple!
But... I see others are only at High Awakener Stage One and Two!
And in front of Zhang Chen's High Awakener, there's a word "God"... I don't know what it means...
Bazel stated truthfully.
God? This... has Zhang Chen encountered another fortunate opportunity?
Just that word looks extraordinary!
Isaac's brow furrowed into a tight knot.
He had thought he was about to reach the pinnacle of his life, never to be outdone by anyone again.
Yet, less than a minute after feeling excited, he was doused with a bucket of cold water by Zhang Chen.
So... Big brother, are we still fighting?
Bazel asked.
Fighting what? If we can't win, everything we've worked so hard to build will be lost!
The risk of this venture is too great. Let's negotiate with Zhang Chen!
As soon as Isaac finished speaking.
He heard a commotion downstairs.
Several gang members, seeking revenge for their fallen comrades, ignored Bruni's orders and charged out from the shops on both sides towards Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen, mounted on the wolf, merely flexed his arms slightly.
In an instant, the more than a dozen skilled gang members on both sides turned into mist and vanished.
Simultaneously, Zhang Chen entered combat mode at that very moment.
The Weakening effect was removed!
At this point, Bazel, who continued to observe Zhang Chen with his [Basic Insight Eye], couldn't help but have his pupils contract, and he said in a trembling voice:
Big... Big brother... he's not High Awakener Stage 3, but rather... God·Low-level Transcender Stage 1!
I... I don't know... he... he... he used some method to lower his displayed level!
Upon hearing this, Isaac didn't hesitate any longer.
Grabbing Bazel and Amelia, he jumped directly from the top floor.
He positioned himself between Zhang Chen and the Gorilla Legion.
Big boss, let's talk!
Isaac knelt directly before Zhang Chen without hesitation.
