“Hehe, good choice.” When Li Guofu heard Zhou Chen’s choices, he immediately sent a transaction request to Zhou Chen.

After Zhou Chen accepted the transaction, there were additional storage bag and teleportation talisman in his inventory.
The other people could not tell anything during the entire process. They only thought that they were chatting.
The two of them carried the old man on the stretcher to his room and asked the old woman who had joined their camp to take care of him.
The old woman accepted this readily. She had been taken care of by Zhou Chen during this period of time, so she did not have to worry about food and drinks.
Zhou Chen and Li Guofu left the old man’s room and walked out.
“What do you plan to do with that girl?” Li Guofu asked.
“I haven’t thought of it yet, let’s get some information from her.” Zhou Chen felt that the girl still had some value and was not in a hurry to deal with her.
“Hmm, we’ve offended Nete Tech greatly. They will definitely not let this go.” Li Guofu nodded. The decadence in his eyes was gone, and his mental state seemed to have changed.
“That’s good. The fight earlier was boring. I hope they send some strong men.” Zhou Chen did not care about Nete Tech’s counterattack. He was very confident in his strength and believed that he would not lose to the servants of this native force.
Li Guofu looked at the camp and suggested to Zhou Chen, “This camp of yours looks good, but I suggest you move as soon as possible.”
“Let’s see how it goes. It isn’t easy to find a low polluted place like this.” Zhou Chen also knew that this place would be exposed soon, but he was a little reluctant. He did not want to waste time living as a vagabond, running around everywhere. He wanted to continue to focus on training. After all, his proficiency in Eight Desolates Coiling Dragon Supreme Art was still quite low.
“I’ll stay here for a few days. If the people from Nete Tech come, I can help you.” When Li Guofu saw that Zhou Chen wanted to hold the fort, he suggested that he help deal with the following dangers.
“Up to you. You can stay here for as long as you want.” Zhou Chen smiled. A senior Survivor like Li Guofu could not be underestimated. Having him stay would be very helpful.
While chatting, they entered a house and arrived at a relatively spacious living room.
Here, Lucy was guarding the bespectacled girl. The girl was sitting on a sofa, looking a little nervous.
“Why are you so nervous? As long as you cooperate with us, nothing will happen.” Zhou Chen frowned and said to the girl when he saw her restless appearance.
“O… okay, I’ll do my best to cooperate with you!” The girl was even more afraid when she saw Zhou Chen’s expression. She nodded frantically.
Zhou Chen was a little speechless, but he continued, “Tell me about the situation of your company, such as what weapons, troops, mutants they have and what they might do next.”
“There are many kinds of weapons. There are about 20,000 armed forces and more than ten mutant teams.” The girl immediately began to answer Zhou Chen and explained the strength of Nete Tech to him. However, she only gave a general idea of many things, as if she did not know any more precise information.
“You’re from the mutant team, right? Tell me in detail what mutants are there.” Zhou Chen was interested when he heard about the mutants. They were the source of passive skills, and it was worth understanding their details.
The girl immediately replied, “I don’t know all the details of the mutant teams, I only know a few of them. The number three team has a fire-elemental mutant and a metal-elemental mutant…”
The girl began to recall the situation of the teams and told Zhou Chen the information.
Zhou Chen and Li Guofu listened attentively, while Lucy listened with interest.
After that, Li Guofu asked the girl some more questions about the Nete Tech’s armed forces. He had a lot of knowledge in this field. Even if the girl did not know about those technological weapons, he could give her hints, guide, and indirectly infer the information he wanted.
“This Nete Tech is indeed a large organization. The ground and air forces are not weak.” After a while, Li Guofu frowned and sighed. He felt that this opponent was a troublesome enemy.
Zhou Chen also felt that things were not simple. The strength of this Nete Tech was enough to bully some small countries on Planet Blue. If they targeted his small camp, it would probably be destroyed.
“That’s all for today. Rest first. Tell Lucy if you want food.” Zhou Chen felt that the girl’s voice was about to go hoarse, and her thoughts had become a little confused. He let her rest for a while. He would discuss the future plans with Li Guofu.
However, just as Zhou Chen and Li Guofu were about to leave the room, the girl who had taken water from Lucy and was about to drink suddenly dropped the glass cup in her hand to the ground. She sprinted to the door of the room but was grabbed by Lucy.
“What are you doing?”
Zhou Chen, who had sensed the abnormality behind him, immediately turned and frowned at the girl controlled by Lucy. He felt that there was something wrong with this girl. Their two strongest people had yet to leave the room when she suddenly wanted to escape.
“Quick! Run! It’s too late!” However, the girl did not notice his ferocious expression. She only shouted in panic, her expression filled with fear.
“What do you mean by too late? Speak clearly!” Zhou Chen asked angrily.
“Missile! The missile is here!” The girl replied frantically, her voice almost turning into a sob.
“F*ck!”
Zhou Chen’s hair stood on end. Regardless of whether it was real or fake, he punched a hole in the ceiling and jumped out.
He jumped to the top of the building and activated the Shield passive skill. He looked at the sky and maximized his perception, searching for something.
In the next moment, he exerted strength on his feet and jumped nearly a hundred meters high. Then, he punched a certain spot in the sky and pierced through the air that was filled with clear sunlight with his Eight Desolates True Energy, emitting a deafening sound.
However, the might of his punch did not seem to be limited to this. In the sky, something seemed to have detonated. A dot of light instantly appeared and instantly transformed into a mushroom cloud. It carried a substantial spherical shock wave and a terrifying heat wave as it charged towards the small camp on the ground.
Zhou Chen, who was the first to bear the brunt, was instantly drowned. The shield on his body quickly shattered, and he was like a small mosquito that had been hit by a fly swatter.. He was ruthlessly crushed into the ground by the terrifying shock wave and buried in this small camp that had been completely destroyed in the blink of an eye.
