"Forget about the top floor. After clearing zombies in the city, going to the rooftop is only to find more zombies. Now that I can finally enjoy some good food, I don't want to feel like I'm searching for zombies!"

Li Chenzhou stopped and smiled at Jin Yuan, then pointed to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the hotel lobby:

"Let's set up a table here. I think this place is great!"

"This..."

Hearing Li Chenzhou's words, Jin Yuan panicked a little and quickly looked at the man next to him.

"Sure, let's do it here!"

This man was Wang Zifeng, the one who hid with his child and was later rescued by Li Yunshan and used as a messenger. As for his hatred for Li Chenzhou, it came from what happened to his son.

Back then, after dropping off the letter, he left with his son. Because they were in the wilderness, they didn't encounter any zombies. Wang Zifeng was confused at the time. Li Yunshan saved him, so he should have trusted Li Yunshan.

But after seeing the armed men in casual clothes in the base, Wang Zifeng felt that these guys should not be contacted at all, because they were not real soldiers, but some survivors who somehow found weapons.

Having read post-apocalyptic novels, Wang Zifeng knew how terrible these guys could be. Basically, such people in novels were vicious, greedy, and extremely cruel. Wang Zifeng would even believe that they would cook his son and eat him.

So, Wang Zifeng chose to escape, but he didn't know where to go. He didn't dare to take the highway, so he had to travel with his son in the wilderness!

But who knew, by chance, Wang Zifeng and his son encountered a rat as big as a cat, which was naturally a mutated beast!

Seeing Wang Zifeng and his son, the rat suddenly jumped up and pounced on Wang Zifeng's face. Only then did Wang Zifeng realize that this mutated rat instinctively used his son to block his face.

As a result, the mutated rat's teeth bit his son's face, tearing off a piece of bloody skin—the skin from his left cheek!

Hearing his son's screams, Wang Zifeng suddenly reacted. Looking at the huge, hideous wound on his son's face, exposing white teeth, Wang Zifeng felt his hands and feet go cold. He knew that his son was doomed.

Whether in novels or in reality, Wang Zifeng had seen people who mutated after being bitten. Although it was a mutated beast that bit his son, he should also mutate.

Moreover, looking at his son's face, almost half of which had been torn off, Wang Zifeng was very clear that even if he was not infected with the zombie virus, his son would not survive.

Such wounds were quite troublesome even before the apocalypse, and now, there were no hospitals, and Wang Zifeng had no first-aid medicine, so he couldn't save his son at all.

The mutated rat naturally didn't know Wang Zifeng's psychological activities. After landing, it began to chew, quickly eating the torn half of the face. Then, it bared its teeth and looked at Wang Zifeng and his son—obviously, this guy wasn't full!

Seeing the mutated rat attack again, Wang Zifeng suddenly felt a surge of anger. It was this damn rat that killed his son.

So, Wang Zifeng raised his son, who was still crying, and slammed him at the mutated rat that was pouncing on him!

Even now, Wang Zifeng couldn't recall the details of what happened next. He only remembered that he was so angry that he lost his mind and swung his son to smash the mutated rat. After smashing it a few times, his son's leg broke. He actually grabbed the mutated rat's tail and slammed it hard on the ground, once, twice, three times...

Wang Zifeng didn't know how many times he had smashed it. In short, when he woke up, he found a mess around him. His son's bloody corpse was lying on the ground in front of him, and the broken leg was about five meters away from the corpse.

As for the mutated rat, Wang Zifeng was holding it by the tail in his hand, motionless, its head smashed to pieces—this unlucky rat was actually beaten to death by Wang Zifeng in a fit of rage with his bare hands.

When Wang Zifeng came to his senses, he hugged his son's corpse and burst into tears, but no matter what, his son was dead.

After crying for a long time, Wang Zifeng finally dug a pit and buried his son's body, even burying the leg that he had torn off. Just as he was about to leave, he found a shiny crystal on the ground—the mutated crystal core of the mutated rat!

Picking up the mutated crystal core, Wang Zifeng remembered what he had read in novels. According to the books, this thing could make people stronger?

Wang Zifeng hesitated for a long time. Finally, after seeing the grave he had just buried his son in, Wang Zifeng finally stuffed the mutated crystal core into his mouth—he wanted to become stronger, he wanted revenge!!!

Although the mutated rat was dead, in Wang Zifeng's heart, the culprit who killed his son was Li Chenzhou!!!

If it weren't for delivering a letter to this damn guy, how would he have come here? If he hadn't come here, how would he have encountered that mutated rat? Without the mutated rat, how could his son have died???

In short, it was all Li Chenzhou's fault. Because of him, he had to deliver the letter, and his son died!

Because he used his son to block the mutated rat's attack, Wang Zifeng refused to admit that he had personally killed his son, so he pushed everything onto Li Chenzhou, whom he had never met.

It was also under this kind of psychology that he had the courage to swallow the mutated crystal core...

Whether it was Wang Zifeng's luck or misfortune, in short, he actually succeeded, and he also became an Awakened!

Feeling the power in his body, as well as the skills and talents he had gained, Wang Zifeng was overjoyed.

He looked at his son's tombstone—which he had made out of wood strips, with his son's name and date of death written on it.

"Son, don't worry, Dad will definitely avenge you. I will find that Li Chenzhou, break his limbs, and then place him in front of your grave, to repent until he dies!!!"

After swearing to his son's grave, Wang Zifeng turned and left!

He originally planned to go to the war reserve base he had visited before, but because it was already evening, and Wang Zifeng had just become an Awakened, he was so excited that he actually went in the wrong direction and didn't even realize it.

So, after dark, Wang Zifeng accidentally stumbled upon the Chemical Plant Base.

Although it was dark and he couldn't see what the people in the base looked like, Wang Zifeng, who had just become an Awakened, was full of confidence and strode towards the gate of the base...
