Chapter 193: Nete No. 4 City, Face Changing Mask

For the next two days, the pickup drove through the wasteland and approached a city.
This gathering area looked a little similar to the Paradise City. It was surrounded by a high wall, and it was also not easy to obtain entry permit.
“The administrators of these cities are afraid that we have accumulated pollution outside. Therefore, if we want to enter, we have to go through an inspection which is only done for a limited time per day.”
Hilda explained the reason. Then, she changed the topic.
“However, some monsters have attacked this city recently. Some areas of the wall have been destroyed and have yet to be repaired. I can bring you guys in from there.”
Hilda thought of this because they had arrived at a bad time and there was no way they could go through inspection at this time.
“There’s no need to go through so much trouble. Just tell me the place, and I will carry you guys over the wall.”
Zhou Chen shook his head at Hilda’s suggestion. He did not want to waste time looking for a broken wall.
“That’s true. I forgot that you’re a powerful mutant.”
Hilda nodded after hearing Zhou Chen’s words. She had spent more than a month in the camp and naturally knew Zhou Chen’s strength. The high wall was completely useless in front of him.
Soon, the five of them arrived outside a high wall under Hilda’s lead.
“There is an abandoned factory beyond this. Let’s jump in from here.”
She suggested.
“Hmm, Glasses Girl, can you sense the situation inside? Is anyone there?”
Although Zhou Chen could sense the situation inside with the Bloodthirst, he first asked the bespectacled girl who was keeping silent.
“There are two people sleeping on the streets within a hundred meters. There are four other poor people within two hundred meters. They are talking about their works. Within three hundred meters…”
The bespectacled girl immediately reported the situation to Zhou Chen.
‘This is really detailed. It’s similar to what I sensed.’
Zhou Chen immediately compared the report to the situation he had sensed and determined that the bespectacled girl should not be lying. She was still trustworthy.
After confirming that there were not many people beyond the high wall, Zhou Chen got Hilda to hide the pickup truck amidst the heap of rocks in the distance and jumped over the high wall with the bespectacled woman on his back. As a robot with a powerful body, Lucy carried Heidi over, while Li Guofu jumped over by himself. Zhou Chen jumped back and carried Hilda in.
The few of them then headed to an inn under Hilda’s lead. She said that the price here was affordable, and the boss accepted supplies as payment. Food and drinks were fine.
As for who was handing these supplies, it was naturally Li Guofu. He was very rich as his name suggested1, and his inventory had countless treasures and food.
This inn was called the Long-tailed parakeet Inn. It was located on a civilian street in Nete No. 4 City. It was small, and the guest rooms were divided into single rooms the size of bathrooms. However, the inside looked neat and the prices were cheap. Li Guofu paid for everyone using a few slices of bread as payment.
“What should we do next? Should we directly attack the people of Nete Tech? Or should we investigate first?”
After entering the small inn, in a very narrow room, Li Guofu discussed with Zhou Chen in a low voice.
“Of course, we have to investigate first. I thought about it and feel that it would be better to assassinate their leader.”
Zhou Chen quickly replied to Li Guofu. He had thought about it on the way. He was not the kind of person who liked to cause trouble. Even if he wanted to take revenge, he did not have to vent his anger on civilians who had nothing to do with him. He just had to deal with the leader of Nete Tech.
Others might think that this plan was wishful thinking, but Zhou Chen was different. He had already understood that his current strength was considered to be very strong in this world. It was not difficult for him to kill a local leader by force. Whoever dared to stop him would be killed together. He did not believe that Nete Tech would bombard him with missiles in this place.
“Hmm, your plan is not bad. Although this is the dungeon world, we shouldn’t implicate too many ordinary people.”
Li Guofu nodded and said,
“I’m good at investigating. Leave it to me. You can stroll around this city for the next few days to familiarize yourself with the environment.”
Li Guofu took the initiative to take on the responsibility of the investigation. He knew his strengths. Although he could not block the missiles like Zhou Chen, he had training in all aspects and was good at all kinds of missions.
“By the way, it’s best if we change our appearance when we move outside. Although Nete Tech shouldn’t have obtained our photos, we can’t expose ourselves.”
Li Guofu added.
“Alright, but I don’t know how to disguise myself. Do you have such a prop?”
Zhou Chen had long since stopped wearing his mask and was simply showing his true appearance.
“This mask is for you. It can change into several appearances. Wear it when you move out.”
After hearing Zhou Chen’s request, a small leather mask immediately appeared in Li Guofu’s hand and he handed it to Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen looked at the mask and checked its details.
[Face Changing Mask
Type: Mid bronze item.
After wearing this mask, you can change your appearance. There are a total of six types of facial features: young, middle-aged, and old – man and woman of all three age groups.]
“This thing is not bad. What about you though?”
Zhou Chen knew that this thing was quite useful. Li Guofu was really generous to give it to him.
“I know a little disguise arts.”
Li Guofu replied immediately.
“Alright, I feel like you know everything.”
Zhou Chen shook his head and sighed. These elites of the Administration were really talented.
“Hehe, if you want to learn, you can join the Administration after this Survival mission. You will be given a professional course.”
Li Guofu enticed.
“Okay, I’ll go take a stroll outside.”
Zhou Chen did not want to discuss this topic. He immediately covered his face with the mask and activated its function. Then, he walked into the shared bathroom of the inn and looked in the mirror. He realized that his face had changed to that of an ordinary young man.
“This is really realistic. If the others see me now, they definitely won’t recognize me.”
Zhou Chen walked out of the bathroom.
However, before he could reach the entrance of the inn, he ran into Lucy who recognized him immediately.
“Captain, this mask you’re wearing is too ugly. Can you change to another one?”
Lucy looked at him and said bluntly.
“How did you recognize me at a glance? The effect of this mask should not be so bad.”
Zhou Chen was surprised.
“Captain, I’m most familiar with your body size and aura. Moreover, this mask of yours is clearly not made of biological tissues. I can easily detect it.”
Lucy answered immediately.
