Zhang Chen understood Guan Xin's intention.
She wanted to prove her worth by killing Lin Qingsong.
"Intermediate Awakened, Stage 1? Do you know Lin Qingsong is Intermediate Awakened, Stage 2?"
"According to the current world rules, a difference of one level is an insurmountable gap in strength..."
Zhang Chen said.
"I know his strength. I also know your organization would never want a mediocre person!"
"If I asked you to raise me to Intermediate Awakened, Stage 2, or even higher..."
"Killing Lin Qingsong would be meaningless!"
"As you just said, a difference of one level between survivors can be described as heaven and earth!"
"If you were to crush him with sheer power... would you still need me? Whether you do it yourself or find someone else..."
"Now that you have a Teleportation Card, killing him would be as easy as pie!"
Guan Xin said seriously.
Zhang Chen paused, remaining silent.
Helping Guan Xin reach Intermediate Awakened, Stage 1 wasn't difficult.
It would only cost a little over ten thousand core crystals.
That wasn't even enough for him to have a good time flying for a bit.
Besides, even if Guan Xin failed to kill Lin Qingsong, he could still go and do it himself later.
Killing Lin Qingsong would be as simple as crushing a large grub.
What surprised Zhang Chen slightly was Guan Xin's determination to join his organization.
After a moment, he nodded slightly and said,
"Then it's as you say. Three days!"
"If you succeed, you'll be a member of my organization. If you fail..."
"I won't fail!" Guan Xin interrupted Zhang Chen resolutely.
"Good!"
Zhang Chen smiled faintly.
He clicked on the trade interface and confirmed the number of core crystals needed for her upgrade with Guan Xin.
He then transferred 11,500 core crystals to her.
As Guan Xin received the core crystals, flashes of golden light darted across her eyes.
She had leveled up twice consecutively.
She was now at the Intermediate Awakened, Stage 1 strength.
"Thank you for your trust. I will not disappoint your expectations!"
Guan Xin nodded gratefully at Zhang Chen.
Then, she used the [Beginner Survivor Tracker]!
With a whoosh.
Guan Xin instantly vanished from Zhang Chen's sight.
At this moment, Li Bingyu, with a beaming smile, walked over with Zhang Wenwen.
"Huh? Where did that girl go just now?"
Li Bingyu asked in surprise.
"Oh, she had something to attend to, so I let her leave first!"
Zhang Chen replied.
"This is my good friend, Zhang Wenwen. It's a pity that the people in this camp are not worth nurturing..."
"Wasting your trip here..."
Li Bingyu said with a look of guilt.
"It wasn't a wasted trip. There was some gain!"
Zhang Chen smiled mysteriously.
Seeing Zhang Chen instantly kill a group of survivors, coupled with Li Bingyu's embellishments and explanations,
Zhang Wenwen became even more convinced that Zhang Chen was a true god.
The three chatted for a while before returning to the Revival Camp.
Li Bingyu quickly took Zhang Wenwen into the church, and the initiation ceremony was soon held.
By this time, the zombies outside the camp had already been cleared by the [Automatic Warning Sentry Tower].
Er Pang had returned to its Tibetan Mastiff size and was sleeping soundly in front of the villa.
Xu Ruina stood by the door of the second-floor gym, secretly watching Xiaobai dancing gracefully through the gap in the door. A look of admiration and envy appeared on her face.
"By the way, there are some things I need you to help me take a look at!"
Zhang Chen walked over to Xu Ruina and said.
Xu Ruina nodded and gently closed the door.
Her sharp claws left a shallow white mark on the door.
Zhang Chen took Xu Ruina to the private cinema.
He played the [Strange Video] that he had obtained from Yin Junxi.
When Yin Junxi died, he had mentioned that he knew secrets about the natives.
He also knew what would happen after the thirtieth day of the apocalypse.
The items he had on him, besides the video, were some documents.
He assumed the information he knew would be within them.
Xu Ruina sat beside Zhang Chen, crossing one long leg over the other.
She tucked her hands into her embrace.
This was her more relaxed posture.
Soon, the video began to play.
Inside, a woman resembling a reporter was explaining into the camera lens.
Behind her, there was a massive wall that soared into the clouds.
Due to the immense height of the wall, the woman had to film from several kilometers away.
Only then could she manage to capture the entire wall on film.
"As you can see, Tengxiang Country (a native country, do not associate it with any real-world country) is currently humanity's last hope!"
The giant city wall, soaring into the clouds, protected the city. Its exterior had undergone special treatment, making it so smooth that even multi-legged monsters would find it difficult to climb!
The wall's solid thickness was a full 30-45 meters, capable of withstanding any impact from giant creatures!
At the top of the wall were installed the most advanced bio-energy weapons, capable of eliminating any aerial threats!"
Just as the reporter finished speaking.
In the distance, a monstrous bird with enormous wings suddenly appeared at the top of the high wall.
Its appearance was unclear due to the distance.
However, using the military trucks parked below the city wall as a reference...
The size of this monstrous bird was two to three times larger than a military truck.
As soon as it reached the top of the city wall, it was instantly pierced by a beam of light.
Subsequently, the monstrous bird, emitting smoke, fell from the heights.
Only after it hit the ground did the large trucks at the city gate begin to move.
They were likely vehicles responsible for clearing mutants around the wall.
The reporter, unable to see the scene behind her, continued to introduce, "Currently, Tengxiang Country not only has this city protected, but including the capital, there are a total of six cities!
Below ground, there is also a developed transportation network, allowing the military to quickly reach any city that requires support!
Survivors and supplies can also flow between these six cities!
The newly invented energy convergence network can block the attacks of burrowing insects...
If you are on the road, please navigate to coordinates 120, 33. This city is an interface city responsible for the security checks and reception of survivors!
The apocalypse is imminent. Only by setting aside our differences and uniting as one can we humans have a chance to survive here!
Anyone who sees this video, please be sure to come here. Every additional survivor means one more hope for humanity's survival!"
As the reporter spoke.
Suddenly, the surrounding grass seemed to come alive, shifting.
Subsequently, it began to grow wildly.
What was initially a lawn of a few centimeters instantly grew into grass that was taller than the knees.
And it was still growing rapidly at a visible rate!
"Retreat, retreat, retreat!"
"Hurry and go!"
Then, the camera flickered, and the screen went black.
