Lin Zhen looked at Su Na and Gao Feng: âThree billion, arenât you tempted? Have you ever thought about killing me and claiming the reward? Donât doubt the validity of the kill order, it is not issued casually. It is bound by the unspoken rules of the Martial Artists World. If you donât honor the reward, you canât survive in the martial worldâ.
The color of Gao Fengâs face changed a couple of times, followed by a bitter smile.
There was no change in Su Naâs countenance, she made a mouth: âI canât, actually both of us arenât real martial artists, itâs best not to get involved in such mattersâ.
Lin Zhen noticed their expressions and nodded secretly.
It was obvious that Su Na didnât care about this enormous sum of money. Gao Feng was also a man who knew his own limitations. Thatâs best, if they were tempted, Lin Zhen would not hesitate to leave them here forever.
However, Li Tianhaoâs move was ruthless. Su Na, Gao Feng were not tempted because they simply donât have the ability. Other martial artists might not think likewise.
The so-called Ice Cityâs number one warrior was just a warrior-class martial artist with some strength. How could he resist an group attack of a few war generals?
Nothing is more important than money, Lin Zhen knows the martial artists too well.
Li Tianhaoâs timing was very precise. Now that heavy snow had blocked the roads, Lin Zhen couldnât leave Zhao Dong. Therefore, any martial artist in the entire Zhao Dong region could potentially become Lin Zhenâs enemy.
âIt seems that I need to break through to the War General level as soon as possible. But it takes time to reach the War General level. Now, Zhao Dong is riddled with crisis. What would be the safest place to break through?â
After dinner, Gao Feng and Lin Zhen tried their best to block the indoor drafts. Then everyone huddled in the corners of the room.
Although there was no wind in the room, the temperature was extremely low, well below minus twenty degrees. Su Na and Gao Feng were freezing. âWhy donât you go back to the vehicle?â
âWe dare not. There are mutated birds outside. If the car hadnât bumped into abandoned vehicles and got stuck, and there was no place in the car to cook food, we wouldnât had leftâ.
Lin Zhen nodded his head. Although itâs safe to go inside the vehicle right now, the car would not be warm, and a vehicle that canât move is no better than junk.
âWait, itâs too late now. Weâll go out together tomorrow, and Iâll help you push the vehicle out. Once it starts, it should be able to moveâ.
âAre you going with us?â Su Na asked excitedly.
âIâm not going with you. Itâs best if you donât follow me, itâs dangerousâ.
Su Na didnât say anything more, but because of the cold, she couldnât help but snuggle towards Lin Zhen.
Having no choice, Lin Zhen lit some abandoned door panels in the room to make it a little warm.
In this snowy night, nobody would dare to come out. Itâs relatively safe for now.
The night passed without any chatter. The next morning, the blizzard was still raging. Lin Zhen left the small building with Su Na and Gao Feng.
When they came out, several mutated sparrows launched an attack. Lin Zhen effortlessly got rid of them one after another.
Arriving at the two cars crashed together with over a meter thick snow heaped on it, he brushed away the snow and, relying on his own strength, forcefully pushed the abandoned car blocking the track.
Su Na and Gao Feng climbed into their interview vehicle. This type of vehicle, a tank converted for safety of journalists in the field, had caterpillar tracks suitable for snowy grounds.
Of course, given the huge amount of the accumulated snow, it was very difficult to move. Su Na and Gao Feng managed to start the vehicle after fiddling with it for a while.
âLin Zhen, the vehicle has started. Hop in. Where are you going?â.
Su Na leaned out of it to call Lin Zhen. However, she found the surroundings empty. There was no trace of Lin Zhen.
Su Na wanted to get off and look for him, but seeing the mutated birds not far away, she was scared and hurried back.
Gao Feng asked, âWhat should we do now? Although we have a decent car, the blizzard is too strong. Itâs impractical to think about returning to Base City now. â
âHmph! Then we wonât leave. Weâll search for Lin Zhen here in Zhao Dong. I refuse to believe that we canât find him. There is a hit on him this time, and us martial artists have always been you die or I die. There must be a fight, we must get ahold of the data from this fight. Now, letâs prepare the material we previously recorded and release it.â
âRelease it now?â
âYes. I want everyone outside to see how Lin Zhen beats up those who want to sneak attack him until they were searching for their teeth.â Su Na said confidently.
Gao Feng let out a wry smile, âMiss, itâs not going to be that easy, although weâre weaker, I also understand how strong three billion can be. Probably now, apart from us, all the martial artists in Zhao Dong want to eliminate Lin Zhen. His situation seems bad.â
âShut up! Donât you dare curse my idol. I believe that Lin Zhen can win!â Su Na clenched her small fist at Gao Feng, a typical move of a diehard fan.
âOkay, okay, youâre the host, what you say goes. Iâm only responsible for the filming.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Just as Su Na was gearing up to defend Lin Zhen, he had already left the block.
Meeting with Su Na had only been a minor interlude, Lin Zhen could not possibly stay with them. He had more important matters to attend to.
Even if he didnât, Lin Zhen was not the type of person who would hang out with girls all the time. As someone who had been reborn, he knew what was most important.
In the midst of the snowstorm, Lin Zhen was progressing along the edge of the street.
Along the way, Lin Zhen would occasionally encounter mutated beasts. Under this kind of weather, although they wouldnât appear in large flocks, Zhao Dong, the graveyard of martial artists, still had a higher density of these mutated beasts than Yi Lan. They were also high-level ones. Hence, Lin Zhenâs progress was not fast.
With a thrust of his spear, a white giant pangolin fell under Lin Zhenâs hand.
âPhew! Thatâs the seventh one. In less than an hour, Iâve encountered seven
C-level Mutated Beasts, one B-level, and Iâve killed over twenty D-level ones. If only I wasnât so pressed for time, Zhao Dong would really be a treasure trove.â
With mental power, Lin Zhen was able to easily avoid danger. As long as he didnât encounter flying or agile A-level mutants, he wouldnât be in too much danger.
After he had skinned the pangolin and packed it up, Lin Zhen heard footsteps in the distance.
âSomeoneâs coming!â
With a leap, Lin Zhen was airborne. The liquid metal formed a small shield beneath his feet, carrying him to an abandoned building nearby.
He entered through a window and stealthily hid, his eyes watching the street outside.
The people arrived quickly. There were six of them in total.
The person leading the group was holding a long sword. It was Du Yanhu, the captain of the Dragon-slaying Academyâs Blood Hand Squad.
Zhang Huai and the four other members were around him, even Ouyang Yu was following them.
The group headed straight to where Lin Zhen had just killed the beast. It was clear that they had been alerted by Lin Zhenâs previous fight.
Zhang Huai quickly stepped forward, looked at the pangolin that had been killed and skinned, and told Du Yanhu, âCaptain, this pangolin was killed by a spear, it should be Lin Zhenâs doing.â
Du Yanhu looked down at the pangolin, âAre you sure?â
âI am more than certain. Iâve been stabbed by Lin Zhenâs spear before, I will never forget this kind of wound. Captain, this guy really came to Zhao Dong. We canât let others beat us to him. We must get that three billion.â
âThatâs good. The blood of this pangolin is still hot. This indicates that Lin Zhen is nearby. He probably saw us coming and hid. Start searching, we must find him!â
The members of the Blood Hand Squad were all extremely excited.. Lin Zhen really showed up, now was their chance to take revenge and make money!
