"If you can do me a favor, I can give you food."
Google search for TWKAN.
"What is it?"
Xu Zhiqiang asked quickly.
Lin Yuerou also looked straight at Chen Hao, a glimmer of hope rising in her heart.
Chen Hao looked at the two of them, raised his hand and pointed at Lin Yuerou, saying, "I want her to help me cook and clean for me."
"She helps me with the work, and I'll give you food, how about that?"
Xu Zhiqiang said nothing, his expression instantly becoming a little grim.
As a man,
he didn't believe that Chen Hao just wanted Lin Yuerou to help him cook. He
was afraid that he had other intentions and
was thinking about his wife!
Lin Yuerou had also thought of this. She glanced at Xu Zhiqiang, then looked at Chen Hao seriously, and flatly refused, "
I can't cook.
But my husband cooks delicious meals. You can ask him to help you."
Chen Hao shook his head. "He's a big, strong man. I wouldn't trust him in my house."
"If I didn't have time to cook and needed someone to help with these chores, I wouldn't have thought of asking you to come.
Since you don't want to, I won't force you.
Goodbye."
With that, he closed the door.
Xu Zhiqiang and Lin Yuerou looked at each other, a hint of suspicion in their eyes.
Could it be that
Chen Hao really just wanted Lin Yuerou to help him cook, with no other intentions?
"Honey, we're..." Lin Yuerou looked at Xu Zhiqiang hesitantly.
She wanted to go back immediately.
But without food, they wouldn't last long.
"Come on, let's go back," Xu Zhiqiang muttered grimly.
Chen Hao watched the two leave through the peephole, shook his head, and walked back to the living room, not feeling particularly disappointed.
He asked Lin Yuerou to help him cook, not because he wanted to take advantage of her.
It was mainly because he had too much mutant beast meat at home. This fresh meat, unlike bacon, would not keep for long.
Rather than let it go bad, it
would be no harm to give some to the two of them.
Besides, cooking was indeed a waste of time, and he wanted to find someone to help him so that he could have more time to do other things.
However, since the two of them refused, he would not provide them with food without asking for anything in return.
Besides,
after the two of them starved for two days, they would come to him for help.
Not long after,
Chen Hao stewed a pot of mutant dog meat and continued to strengthen his clothes and pants.
When his physical strength was mostly depleted, he would eat the stewed meat in the pot to recover.
It must be said that
mutant beast meat is indeed rich in energy and contains several times more nutrients than beef.
The effect of restoring physical strength is much stronger than ordinary food.
The next day,
Chen Hao upgraded his clothes and pants to level 3, and their defense became extremely strong, and even a pistol could not penetrate them.
[Tough Coat Level 3: 0% (A relatively thin black coat, made of an extremely tough material, possessing extremely strong defensive power.)]
[Feature 1: Tough (This coat is extremely tough and difficult to damage, and can withstand blade and piercing damage.)]
However, while his clothes and pants were incredibly tough and bulletproof, their
defense against blunt force weapons, such as hammers, was low.
Bullets would still hurt and injure him, but they wouldn't be fatal and wouldn't penetrate his clothes.
Chen Hao felt the coat's defense wasn't enough, so he decided to upgrade it to Level 4 to see if he could gain more traits.
After all, his pistol had gained an extra trait after being upgraded to Level 4. He was very patient
when it came to defensive equipment that could save his life. However, not long after, he heard another knock at the door. He knew the person by the sound. The familiar, steady knock was clearly from Lin Yuerou. Chen Hao peered through the peephole and saw Lin Yuerou outside. He opened the door. Lin Yuerou was wrapped up tightly, wearing a gray sweatshirt jacket and a white round neck T-shirt. She was also wearing blue jeans, as if to protect herself from thieves. Chen Hao shook his head speechlessly. Seeing that Xu Zhiqiang didn't follow him, he didn't pay much attention to it. "Have you figured it out?" he asked, looking at Lin Yuerou. "It's just cooking. You won't do anything else to me, right?" Lin Yuerou looked at Chen Hao and bit her lip and said. "You act as if I'm forcing you." Her reaction made Chen Hao feel like a villain and was speechless. Although he had some thoughts about Lin Yuerou, he really didn't bother to use force. "Don't worry, it's just cooking and cleaning up." Chen Hao said lightly, "If I really wanted to do something to you, with you and Xu Zhiqiang, do you think you can resist?" He raised the gun in his hand to let her know that what he said was true. Since Lin Yuerou came to Chen Hao's door, she had naturally made up her mind. She no longer hesitated and whispered:
"Do you want me to help you cook now?"
"No hurry, help me with something else first."
Chen Hao pulled her into the house and closed the door.
He saw Lin Yuerou standing in the living room, somewhat bewildered.
Her face was pale.
He went into the kitchen and filled a large bowl with the remaining meat from the pot. Returning to the living room, he handed the meat to her. "You look a little weak. Eat some meat to replenish your energy."
Lin Yuerou looked at the meat in the bowl and swallowed. After a moment's hesitation, she took the meat from his hand and whispered,
"Thank you."
"Hurry up and eat. After you're done, help me carve up those two mutant carcasses."
Chen Hao pointed to the two mutant carcasses in the corner of the living room.
He had simply ripped open the stomachs of both mutants, thrown the intestines out the window, and then cut off some meat to eat.
He had to have Lin Yuerou sort the flesh and bones of the mutants into small pieces and cover the meat with his coat.
Otherwise, it would spoil quickly.
Lin Yuerou looked at the two massive mutant beasts, then at her own small arms and legs. The meat she had just put into her mouth seemed to have lost its flavor.
"Me?"
"Cut up a mutant beast that size?"
Lin Yuerou's eyes grew firm as she stared at the massive beast. "
Eat the meat first! "
Chen Hao, seeing Lin Yuerou nod, buried his head in the meat. He immediately ignored her and continued strengthening his clothes and pants.
After a while,
Lin Yuerou finished the last sip of the broth and licked her lips with a satisfied look.
"There's more in the pot, go get it yourself,"
Chen Hao said calmly from where he lay on the sofa.
Although Lin Yuerou was tempted, she shook her head. "I'm full. Do I have to wash this bowl now?"
"Put it in the kitchen first,"
Chen Hao ordered. "Deal with those two mutant beasts first."
Lin Yuerou nodded and walked into the kitchen, retrieving a bone-chopping knife.
"Use this knife,"
Chen Hao pointed to the sharp kitchen knife on the table in front of him.
"Be careful, it's very sharp. Don't hurt yourself."
Lin Yuerou walked over to the table, picked up the knife, and examined it. The blade gleamed coldly, looking indeed sharp.
But only when she easily sliced through the mutant cat's corpse did she realize just how sharp it truly was.
Seeing the knife's incredible razor sharpness, Lin Yuerou looked up at Chen Hao.
But Chen Hao was busy strengthening his coat and didn't even look at her.
Lin Yuerou lowered her head silently and began to carve up the mutant cat.
Although she had never done such a thing before, she had seen pigs run even before she had eaten pork.
With the sharp knife in hand,
she found the carving easy, quickly becoming proficient.
By the time Chen Hao had strengthened the coat to 35%, he felt his body hollow.
Lin Yuerou had completely dismembered the mutant cat, her hands drenched in blood, completely disregarding her image.
Outside the door.
Xu Zhiqiang leaned against the door, straining to listen for any sounds from within.
Seeing no sounds as he'd imagined, his expression brightened.
However, the faint sound of chopping meat brought a flicker of worry to his eyes.
Could it be…
Xu Zhiqiang shook his head, not wanting to think any further. He glanced at the faint blood mist in the hallway and hurried back home.
Several hours later,
Lin Yuerou had finally cut up both mutant beasts.
The bones and flesh were piled on cardboard, each in a large pile.
Chen Hao looked at the sweaty Lin Yuerou and was pleased with her performance.
After all, such a beautiful woman had probably never done anything like this before.
Her dedication, without a single complaint or slacking, showed she was more than just a pretty face.
Chen Hao glanced at the chopped pieces of mutant flesh and covered the pile with a coat.
The coat's special ability wasn't warmth or comfort,
but rather mild cooling.
[Slight Cooling Coat LV1: 0% (A white coat that maintains the internal temperature at zero degrees.)]
[Specialty 1: Mild Cooling (The coat emits chilling air, maintaining the internal temperature at zero degrees.)]
Like the coat and jeans with the toughness property,
this coat was quite useful.
While it didn't provide him with any defensive capabilities, it could be used as a refrigerator.
Even if the meat couldn't be frozen solid, it would still preserve its freshness, preventing it from spoiling quickly.
With his current appetite, a few days would be enough for him to finish the meat.
Lin Yuerou was a little puzzled by Chen Hao's use of a coat to cover the meat,
but she didn't say much. She
simply handed Chen Hao the exceptionally sharp kitchen knife. "Now that we've cut up the meat, is there anything else I can do?"
Chen Hao saw that she had been sweating profusely, her clothes soaking wet, her hands greasy, and dirty.
And a bit smelly.
"Go to the bathroom and wash your hands first. If you don't mind, you can take a shower. You can use the water in the bucket."
Lin Yuerou was tempted. She hadn't showered in days.
Their family didn't have much water, and they were almost out of it just for drinking, so how could they afford to shower?
But being alone, she didn't dare shower in Chen Hao's house.
"No, I'll just wash my hands," Lin Yuerou declined.
Chen Hao, understanding her concerns, didn't force her, but instead asked her to wash the kitchen knife.
A short while later,
Lin Yuerou had just finished washing and emerged from the bathroom when Chen Hao ordered her to cook.
Chen Hao continued strengthening his coat, watching the level of his power gradually increase.
Without the energy crystals that could quickly restore his physical and mental strength, he could only slowly gather his supernatural power.
Otherwise, expending too much energy and mental strength all at once would only harm his body and take longer to recover.
Chen Hao had done the same thing when strengthening his fruit knife before: strengthening it in a minute, then spending the whole day in bed.
Having learned his lesson,
he now took his time, strengthening it by one percent per minute.
This level of physical and mental exertion was like doing ten push-ups in a minute.
Resting every ten minutes eliminated the risk of overexertion. However
, as the item's level increased, strengthening it became more demanding, requiring more supernatural power, and upgrading it took quite a while.
Fortunately, Chen Hao could slay monsters and acquire energy crystals to increase his strength.
Once his physique was strong enough, upgrading his items would likely be much easier.
Two hours later,
Lin Yuerou had cooked five dishes and a soup, each one visually appealing and delicious.
Spicy spare ribs, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded cabbage, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, and seaweed egg soup.
Chen Hao took a bite of the scrambled eggs and found it even better than his own.
"You still dare to say you can't cook?"
Chen Hao gave Lin Yuerou a strange look. Without saying anything, he simply asked her to sit down and said,
"Eat."
Lin Yuerou didn't hesitate and sat down to eat.
She hadn't had a proper meal in days. Her family had no gas, so even porridge was a struggle.
Unlike Chen Hao's home, there were a plethora of ingredients, gas, and a wooden steamer for steaming rice.
Even without electricity,
it didn't prevent him from enjoying a hot meal.
Before long,
the five dishes and one soup were devoured by the two of them.
Finally full, Lin Yuerou felt incredibly satisfied, her stomach a little stuffed.
Without further ado,
Chen Hao quickly took the dishes back to the kitchen and cleaned up.
Seeing her so proactive, Chen Hao sat on the sofa with satisfaction and continued to tighten his coat.
Sure enough.
Having someone to help him with these chores made him feel a lot more relaxed.
After a while.
Lin Yuerou came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes, looked at Chen Hao and asked carefully: "There is still some rice left, can I give it to my husband to eat?"
"Take it."
Chen Hao looked at her and smiled: "But you have to come back later to cook a meal for me, and leave it there. I will eat it when I am hungry."
His demand for food is much higher than that of ordinary people, and a meal will not last long.
Lin Yuerou nodded happily, and a beautiful smile appeared on her face.
When Chen Hao saw her smile, he finally understood why there was a beacon fire in ancient times, just to win the smile of a beauty.
Lin Yuerou specially cooked some extra rice so that Xu Zhiqiang could have something to eat.
Although she underestimated the appetite of Chen Hao and herself, there was still more than half a bowl of rice left, plus the leftovers of the vegetables.
Even if it didn't fill her up, it could at least relieve her hunger.
"Thank you!"
Lin Yuerou packed the rice in a bag and thanked Chen Hao seriously.
"Go early and come back early."
Chen Hao waved his hand and told him to take the leftovers back quickly.
After all, cooking takes a lot of time, and he planned to let Lin Yuerou stew another pot of meat, which would take at least a few hours.
When it gets dark,
it will be inconvenient to do things.
Lin Yuerou nodded, turned around and left, returning to her home.
Xu Zhiqiang, who had been waiting for a long time, saw her come back and hurried forward to ask: "Are you okay? Did Chen Hao do anything to you?"
"No."
Lin Yuerou shook her head: "Chen Hao just asked me to cut up the meat of two mutant cats and dogs, and asked me to cook him a meal."
"Nothing else?"
Xu Zhiqiang looked at Lin Yuerou with some suspicion: "Did he touch you or take advantage of you?"
"No."
Lin Yuerou looked at Xu Zhiqiang's suspicious eyes, feeling a little angry at his distrust and a little wronged.
She went to Chen Hao's house to cook for Xu Zhiqiang, and it was he who asked her to go, but she came back after she was done.
Xu Zhiqiang actually doubted her!
Lin Yuerou angrily stuffed the bag of leftovers into Xu Zhiqiang's arms: "Chen Hao is not that kind of person. He is not as dirty as you think, and I am not as bad as you think!"
Xu Zhiqiang saw that she was angry, and hurriedly pulled her to apologize.
"I'm concerned about you. I'm afraid he might bully you. Please don't overthink it, okay..."
Lin Yuerou calmed herself down, pulled away from his hand, and said coldly, "Whether I overthink it or not, you know it yourself."
She was about to turn and leave,
but after a moment's thought, she softened her tone and said, "I still have to go make Chen Hao a meal. Eat something first."
The door closed.
Xu Zhiqiang clutched the bag of leftovers tightly, his face gloomy.
But the smell of food inside made him swallow, his stomach growling in response.
Eat first!
Without further thought, he grabbed a set of bowls and chopsticks and began to eat.
...
Lin Yuerou arrived at Chen Hao's house, her face calm and emotionless. She went straight into the kitchen to cook.
After several hours of preparation, she took a little more food home.
Tonight.
They wouldn't go hungry.
Chen Hao stared out the window at the darkening sky, listening to the faint roars. A faint white light continued to emanate from his hands.
It was his concentrated supernatural power, visible only to him.
Just like the information about enhanced items,
at least after today's testing, he was certain that Lin Yuerou couldn't see his supernatural powers or the information about the kitchen knife.
Late at night,
Chen Hao finally upgraded his jacket to level four, revealing its second trait.
[Resistance Jacket LV4: 0% (A black jacket with resistance, made of extremely tough material, offering exceptional defense and 20% resistance to damage).]
[Trait 1: Toughness (This jacket is incredibly tough and indestructible, resisting blade and piercing damage.)]
[Trait 2: Resistance (When receiving physical damage, the jacket offsets 20% of the damage and reflects the offset back at the enemy.)]
Resistance!
Resisting damage back at the enemy!
Chen Hao's face lit up with delight at the new trait on his jacket.
With this trait,
coupled with the jacket's exceptional toughness ,
if someone shot him, he'd probably be fine, but the enemy wouldn't be.
Chen Hao considered upgrading his jacket to the next level to see if the resistance would reflect even more damage.
However, remembering that his tough jeans hadn't been upgraded yet, he put it on hold for now, planning to rest a bit before upgrading his pants.
If nothing unexpected happens,
when the item reaches level four, a second trait will appear, as will the pistol and jacket.
If the pants also gain a damage-reflecting trait, he'll have a set of defensive gear with damage-reflecting abilities, significantly increasing his ability to survive.
In a blink of an eye,
two days passed.
Chen Hao finally enhanced his jeans to level four, revealing a second characteristic.
[Space Jeans LV4: 0% (Jeans with space properties, made of extremely tough material, offering exceptionally strong defense.)]
[Characteristic 1: Toughness (These jeans are extremely tough and difficult to damage, resistant to blade and piercing damage.)]
[Character 2: Spatial (The four front and back pockets of the jeans each have an internal space of one cubic meter.)]
Chen Hao examined the characteristics of his jeans and reached into their pockets.
In an instant,
he could sense an alien space within them, measuring one meter in length, width, and height.
Chen Hao tried to place his pistol inside, but from the outside, it seemed as if it wasn't there.
He reached in and could sense the pistol's presence.
With a thought,
the pistol appeared in his hand, and he pulled it out.
Chen Hao excitedly played with it for a while, only to discover that if the item he needed was too large to fit into his pockets, he couldn't.
Apparently,
his pockets were like four spatial bags, unable to hold anything too large.
Even so, he was quite satisfied with the properties of his pants.
After all, with four one-cubic-meter compartments, there was plenty of room for everything.
Chen Hao placed his red dot pistol, his stink bullet toy gun, two spare magazines, a sharp kitchen knife, a sure-hit fruit knife,
and over a hundred steel balls into the front pockets of his jeans
for easy access.
He also placed other miscellaneous items, such as BBs and cold medicine, in the back pockets.
Chen Hao changed into a black jacket and black jeans, with a white T-shirt underneath. His white sneakers also had comfort properties.
Enhancing his clothes and pants had taken quite a bit of time, but thankfully, it hadn't disappointed him; the properties were excellent.
Everything was ready.
It was time for him to continue his hunt.
Chen Hao pulled his pistol from his pocket, walked out the door, and headed downstairs.
He planned to clean up downstairs first and then check the situation outside.
The blood mist filled the air,
making it difficult for him to see outside.
Only by leaving the building could he determine the current situation.
Fifteenth floor.
Seeing no bloodstains in the hallway, Chen Hao knocked on each door, investigating.
Three of the houses were occupied, while the last remained completely silent, clearly devoid of mutants or beasts.
He didn't waste time breaking down the doors and looting the supplies.
Instead, he headed downstairs, searching for his prey.
However, even after descending two floors, he found no mutants or beasts.
Several houses had been broken into and their supplies looted.
Chen Hao descended the stairs to the twelfth floor and saw a mutilated corpse sprawled on the stairwell.
Most of the flesh had been lost.
Faint roars could be heard from the twelfth-floor hallway.
Chen Hao, delighted, carefully stepped past the corpse and reached the stairwell. He pulled out a small mirror and peered into the hallway.
The mirror's reflection revealed a sharp-clawed mutant approaching the blood-strewn hallway.
The mutant didn't seem to notice him, but it seemed to have picked up his scent.
Deciding to strike first, Chen Hao fired a single shot into the mutant's head as he emerged from the stairwell.
It was a direct hit.
A bloody hole the size of a quail egg appeared on the mutant's forehead, a direct blow to the head, sending it tumbling backwards to the ground.
A roar!
A massive mutant burst from the corridor around the corner from the elevator and violently lunged at Chen Hao.
Without hesitation, Chen Hao fired rapidly, each shot piercing the mutant.
However, the massive, over two-meter-tall mutant's black scales were as hard as iron. While his bullets could penetrate the mutant's defenses, they couldn't penetrate deeply enough to inflict fatal damage.
In his desperation,
Chen Hao couldn't even reach the mutant's eyes, which were less well-protected. Fortunately
, the bullets were powerful at close range, and after a few shots, the mutant's speed was slowed,
giving him time to retreat to the stairwell.
Without hesitation, Chen Hao ran upstairs, the mutant behind him sprinting into the stairwell, hot on his heels.
He ran, firing, trying to stop the mutant from getting any closer. It's
just that the mutant was faster than him. Even though he was affected by the bullets, he was still much faster than him.
Chen Hao just ran to the stairwell on the thirteenth floor when he was caught up by the mutant and slammed him against the wall with one claw.
If it weren't for the protection of his clothes, this claw would have torn him in half.
Under the counter-injury,
claw marks appeared on the mutant's back, and his body staggered under a force and fell forward on the stairs.
Chen Hao didn't care about the pain in his body and quickly seized the opportunity to get up and run.
The huge mutant had sharp claws, but it was difficult for him to get up after falling to the ground, which gave him enough time to get rid of it and run directly to his home on the sixteenth floor.
Only then
did his rapidly beating heart calm down a lot.
The adrenaline subsided, and the pain in his body followed.
The mutant's claw attack had been incredibly powerful. Although the coat had stopped it and partially neutralized the force, it still left him feeling awful.
It felt like being hit in the back with a hammer, causing some internal pain.
Fortunately, there was no damage, and it would heal after a while.
Chen Hao peered outside through the peephole. After waiting for a while, with no sign of the mutant pursuing him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Clearly,
the massive mutant had evolved.
Not only was his defense formidable, but his strength was also immense, even greater than that of the tentacle mutant.
Like King Kong.
Chen Hao knew the King Kong's strength wouldn't hold the door open, and he desperately wanted to upgrade his pistol.
His current pistol was still a bit underpowered.
It was adequate for ordinary mutants, but it wouldn't kill a King Kong with its powerful defenses.
Chen Hao had already emptied an entire magazine, and the King Kong was completely unharmed.
If it weren't for the anti-injury coat, he'd likely be in grave danger.
Chen Hao took off his clothes and examined the bruises on his back.
A murderous look crossed his eyes.
He thought for a moment, then pulled out a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao aerosol and began strengthening it.
This wound-healing medicine, if strengthened, would be much more effective, allowing him to recover faster.
[Yunnan Baiyao LV0: 1% (External-use aerosol, can treat wounds, has the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, reducing swelling and relieving pain.)]
After a while,
the Yunnan Baiyao in his hand was strengthened to level one, and a new characteristic appeared.
[Yunnan Baiyao LV1: 0% (External-use aerosol, can heal wounds, has the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, reducing swelling and relieving pain.)]
[Characteristic 1: Recovery (Spray on the wound to slightly accelerate wound recovery.)]
Chen Hao sprayed a little on the wound on his back, and soon the itching subsided, and the purple bruise faded considerably.
Not enough!
He then upgraded the Yunnan Baiyao to level two, and the recovery characteristic went from slightly accelerating wound recovery to significantly accelerating wound recovery. Sure enough, the healing effect was much better. He
estimated that within two hours, his injury would be healed.
Chen Hao estimated that the recovery effect would be much stronger after reaching level three, but he didn't want to waste any more time.
Upgrading the pistol.
That was the most important thing now!
Only by increasing the power of the pistol could he use it to kill the King Kong mutant.
Otherwise, if the King Kong mutant came to his house, his door might not be able to block it, and he would have nowhere to run.
Not long after.
Lin Yuerou came to cook for him, and she seemed to be worried.
Chen Hao told her about the existence of the King Kong mutant and reminded her to be careful when going in and out.
When Lin Yuerou learned that a monster that could not be killed by a pistol appeared downstairs, her eyes suddenly showed uneasiness.
According to what Chen Hao said.
That kind of monster probably could not be stopped even by the door, which meant that her home was no longer safe.
She walked to the kitchen to cook with a heavy heart, looking a little tired.
Too many things happened too fast in the past half month, and she was a little overwhelmed.
Three days later.
Chen Hao diligently upgraded his Red Dot Pistol to level six.
[Red Dot Pistol LV.6: 0% (Fully automatic pistol with red dot sight, can fire ten rounds per second, effective range 320 meters, maximum range 960 meters.)]
[Feature 1: Red Dot (A red dot appears where the muzzle is pointed within the effective range, and a white dot appears outside the effective range, with the color fading with distance.)]
[Feature 2: Burst (This pistol can automatically reload pellets. Continuously pulling the trigger fires single rounds, while holding the trigger fires ten rounds per second.)]
Chen Hao looked at the black pistol in his hand, which had been upgraded to level six, and noticed a new toggle switch between semi-automatic and full-automatic.
Semi-automatic fires only single rounds, while full-automatic fires bursts.
Chen Hao switched to full-automatic mode and held his finger on the trigger.
Bullets blazed out instantly, a continuous stream, emptying the magazine in less than two seconds.
An egg-sized hole appeared in the wall, enlarged by several bullets.
There were also bullet holes the size of peanuts around him, which were caused by his failure to control the recoil and the movement of the gun barrel.
Chen Hao looked at the bullet holes and cracks on the wall and was very satisfied with the power of the pistol.
A concrete wall could be shot with such a big hole, and a bullet shot into a person would make a hole the size of an egg.
With the firing rate of the red dot pistol, a person can be shot into a hornet's nest in one second.
However, after upgrading to level six, the recoil and gunshot of the red dot pistol are also louder, and it should be about the same as an ordinary pistol.
Fortunately, with Chen Hao's current strength, after being familiar with the full-automatic mode, he can completely control the muzzle from deviating. He can
hit the target steadily. The only problem
is that the magazine capacity is too small and it will be emptied in less than two seconds.
Chen Hao thought about it, took a spare magazine and started to strengthen it, to see if he could get a feature that increases the loading capacity.
With his current physique, it is very easy to upgrade the item to level one.
After a while.
[Expanded Magazine LV1: 0% (Special pistol magazine with spatial properties, slightly increased ammunition capacity.)]
[Feature 1: Expanded Capacity (This magazine's ammunition capacity is doubled, holding thirty 6mm marbles.)]
Chen Hao hadn't expected his first magazine to gain the desired trait.
Doubled ammunition capacity!
Crucially, it was only level one, and the capacity had already reached thirty.
In his experience,
if a trait appeared at level one, it would be enhanced at levels two and three.
If he reached level three, the expanded capacity trait would surely be even stronger, and the ammunition capacity would undoubtedly increase significantly as well.
Excited,
Chen Hao quickly enhanced another spare magazine to see what trait it would gain.
Soon, the magazine reached level one, and the expanded capacity trait also appeared.
Two expansions in a row.
Chen Hao figured that the expanded capacity trait, like the comfort trait of clothing, was a common trait.
While the comfort trait of clothing wasn't very useful, the expanded capacity trait was quite valuable.
Not long after,
Chen Hao removed the magazine from his red dot pistol and enhanced it to level one. Sure enough, it still had the expanded capacity trait.
Three extended magazines were enough for him.
Chen Hao was just about to try whether the steel balls could be strengthened and what characteristics they would have when he heard a noise outside.
Judging from the sound,
it seemed that someone was looking for trouble with Xu Zhiqiang.
"Xu Zhiqiang, open the door for me quickly, otherwise you will be in trouble when I go in." An arrogant shout was heard.
Chen Hao's face changed slightly, and he quickly put the steel balls into the extended magazines. Don't
these people
know the existence of the King Kong mutants? They dared to shout so loudly.
Besides, there are still many mutants and mutant beasts in the building. Who gave them the courage to make such a big noise.
Chen Hao loaded the bullets, opened the door with a gun and walked out.
He looked around, but did not see the King Kong mutants. There was only a sound coming from the corridor at the corner of the elevator.
"Huang Si, are the women in this room really as beautiful as you say?"
"Don't worry, Boss Vulcan. I've seen it with my own eyes, how can it be fake? I've even been to that Xu Zhiqiang's banquet.
His wife is as pretty as any superstar, with a curvaceous figure. I guarantee you'll be satisfied, Boss."
"Okay, then quickly open the door. I'm tired of playing around, so I'll have you guys line up."
"Boss Vulcan, leave it to me. I'll chop the door down in two strokes."
Then,
the sound of an axe splitting the door echoed,
along with Xu Zhiqiang's pleading for mercy.
Chen Hao hadn't expected that only two weeks after the apocalypse, someone would already be snatching women away.
He turned the corner and saw five men blocking Xu Zhiqiang's door.
A yellow-haired young man was chopping at the door with an axe, while the other four looked excited.
Judging from their positions and expressions, it was clear that the red-haired young man was leading the charge.
"It's quite lively,"
Chen Hao suddenly said, startling the excited men.
They looked towards Chen Hao and saw a pistol pointed at them. Their expressions changed instantly, and fear appeared in their eyes.
After all, although the people of Long Country had never handled a gun, they knew its power.
One shot
would kill them .
Red Hair quietly retreated behind his younger brother and said with disdain, "Brother, who are you trying to scare with a fake gun?"
With that,
the remaining few reacted.
Dragon Country banned guns, and not everyone had them.
"Don't be afraid, everyone. That guy lives in the building. I've seen him. The gun he has is definitely fake," said the yellow-haired man.
Bang!
Chen Hao fired without hesitation. A bloody hole instantly appeared in the yellow-haired man's arm, and he fell to the ground with a scream.
In an instant,
a fireball erupted from Red Hair's hand and hurtled towards Chen Hao.
Chen Hao had long been wary of Red Hair. After all, he had awakened superpowers, and he didn't rule out the possibility that others might have too. He had suspected something when the yellow-haired men had called him "Vulcan Boss."
If Red Hair hadn't been hiding behind his younger brother, he would have shot right at him.
Seeing the fireball coming.
Chen Hao dodged quickly as a blazing fireball whizzed past him, charring the corridor wall behind him.
After dodging the fireball, he continued firing at the men.
Screams rang out.
Red Hair erupted in flames, engulfing the corridor and instantly transforming it into a sea of blaze.
Simultaneously, two fireballs formed from his hands and hurled themselves at Chen Hao.
However, the moment he unleashed the flames, Chen Hao had already retreated to the elevator corridor.
His flames missed Chen Hao, but instead burned his injured subordinate, causing him to scream in agony before being silenced in a flash.
Watching the surging flames, Chen Hao quickly ran to the stairwell.
The heat wave followed,
forcing him to run straight to the seventeenth floor.
However, within seconds, the flames in the stairwell receded like a tide.
Chen Hao hurried downstairs, ignoring the lingering heat wave, and fired his pistol in full-automatic mode, charging towards the sixteenth floor.
He glanced around the deserted elevator corridor and cautiously approached the corner.
Red Hair didn't chase him out, so he's probably still outside Xu Zhiqiang's house.
Chen Hao rushed out of the corner, raised his gun and shot at the corridor. He
emptied the magazine.
However, there were only a few charred corpses in the corridor, and no sign of Red Hair.
Chen Hao took a glance and retreated to the corner, replacing the spare magazine.
The flames just retreated to the sixteenth floor, so Red Hair must still be here.
Since he's not in the corridor, he must have run to 1603 or 1604.
Inside 1603.
Red Hair covered his stomach, and blood kept flowing out of the bloody hole in his stomach.
Although he had just hidden behind his younger brother, who helped him block the gun.
But Chen Hao's gun was too powerful, and it shot through the younger brother's body, leaving a bloody hole in his stomach.
And the bullet remained in his body, making him feel extremely painful.
In the corridor,
several charred corpses emanated the aroma of flesh.
Chen Hao observed the corridor through a mirror, but the red-haired youth did not emerge.
The red-haired youth's flames were intense and powerful, so he hesitated to act rashly.
However, since he had already offended him, he naturally wanted to eliminate him completely!
After a moment's thought,
Chen Hao tentatively called out, "Brother, I don't want to be your enemy. If you promise not to bother me in the future, I'll leave immediately. After all, I don't want to fight someone like you with superpowers. How about it?"
A few seconds of silence followed.
"Okay, I definitely won't bother you in the future," the red-haired youth's voice echoed.
Chen Hao looked at 1603, the source of the voice, and pulled out his stink bullet toy gun, firing into the house.
The stink bullets struck the broken door and bounced back into the house, emitting a strong stench.
The red-haired youth, hiding in the doorway, prepared for a sneak attack, retched uncontrollably.
Chen Hao emptied the magazine, firing most of the bullets into 1603.
Flames erupted,
dispelling the foul odor.
Chen Hao hadn't expected the red-haired youth to have such a trick up his sleeve, using fire to dispel the stench.
He didn't stop firing stink bombs, though. He had plenty of them anyway, so he could always force the red-haired youth out.
Chen Hao angled his shots to ensure every stink bomb landed inside.
Meanwhile, he kept his pistol pointed at the door of Room 1603, ready to fire a barrage of bullets whenever the red-haired youth appeared.
He stayed close,
fearing a counterattack.
After all, he had a gun; only a fool would engage in close combat with a red-haired youth playing with fire. The
red-haired youth hadn't expected Chen Hao to be so unsportsmanlike, his words smooth but his actions merciless.
He was hit by a bullet, and after the full force of his supernatural powers, he could clearly feel the weakness, his head a little dizzy.
He knew Chen Hao wasn't going to let him go, and he steeled himself.
He was a powerful evolver; how could he die like this, shot to death by an ordinary person? It was too much of a humiliation
. Unwilling, angry,
the red-haired youth was engulfed in flames, ready to fight to the death.
In a moment, he was gone.
Chen Hao saw the red-haired youth, his body ablaze, burst out of the room, iron pot in hand.
He instantly threw a fireball at him, charging at him with a swift, blazing wave of heat.
Without hesitation, Chen Hao unleashed a barrage of bullets.
In an instant,
several steel balls shattered the iron pot and struck the youth's head, sending him screaming and falling to the ground. In an instant, he was still.
But the fireballs he had thrown also flew in front of Chen Hao.
He raised his arm,
blocking the fist-sized fireball.
The compressed, high-temperature fireball exploded, and the flames spread, forcing Chen Hao to step back.
The flames dissipated.
Chen Hao glanced at his arm. His sturdy coat had blocked the fireball, preventing it from burning through his clothes and injuring his arm.
Only the instantaneous heat from the exploding fireball had damaged the back of his hand, leaving a burn.
It burned fiercely,
but it was nothing serious and had no effect on him.
Chen Hao raised his hand and shot the red-haired youth in the head.
A single shot to the head.
He breathed a sigh of relief only after he was sure the red-haired youth was dead. If you
don't root out the problem, you'll suffer the consequences.
He understood this principle, and that's why he had to kill the red-haired youth.
After all, they already had a grudge, and the red-haired youth and his men weren't good people, so naturally, they couldn't be spared. It
was his first time killing
someone. Chen Hao didn't feel any discomfort, perhaps because he had killed mutants before.
He looked at the charred corridor and the several bodies in the corridor, then walked over to deal with the bodies.
He glanced at the closed door of room 1602, dragged a charred body, and threw it directly out of the corridor window.
After he threw the third body downstairs, the door of Xu Zhiqiang's house opened.
Lin Yuerou came out, glanced at the scene outside, and mustered up the courage to say, "Let me help you move the bodies."
As soon as she said that, she grabbed a body's arm and dragged it towards the window.
However, she overestimated her strength. She couldn't even drag a body weighing over 100 pounds.
Chen Hao looked at her with admiration again, smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, I can do it myself."
Lin Yuerou felt a little frustrated at her own uselessness and couldn't help but kick the corpse.
Chen Hao saw her action, stepped forward to take the body and said,
"Aren't you afraid?"
"What's there to be afraid of? Just don't treat them as human beings." Lin Yuerou shook her head, but she didn't dare to look directly at the corpse. She
was just pretending to be calm.
"I said, I killed someone, aren't you afraid of me?" Chen Hao looked at her seriously.
"No!"
Lin Yuerou said without hesitation, "If you hadn't helped me kill them, I'm afraid I would have had no choice but to jump out the window and commit suicide."
"You saved my life.
I'm so grateful to you, how could I be afraid of you?"
She didn't seem to be pretending.
Chen Hao smiled with satisfaction. "You're quite good, but unfortunately, your judgment is lacking."
He glanced at Xu Zhiqiang, who had just reached the doorway, his eyes filled with fear as he gazed at the corpse. A flicker of disdain flashed in his eyes.
To be honest,
he doubted Xu Zhiqiang had any leverage over Lin Yuerou, which was why he was able to marry such a wonderful woman.
Lin Yuerou understood his meaning, but she didn't say much.
Xu Zhiqiang, seeing Chen Hao's disdainful look, felt infuriated and wanted to retort, but looking at the gun in his hand, he dared not speak.
Chen Hao ignored him and dragged the corpse out the window.
In the end, only the red-haired young man, shot dozens of times and unrecognizable, lay in a pool of blood.
Chen Hao considered throwing the body downstairs, but on second thought, he dragged it to 1603, pulled a kitchen knife from his pocket, and chopped off its head. He
searched, but
found no energy crystals.
He then dug out the heart and examined it, but there was no energy crystal either.
Just then, Lin Yuerou ran in from outside and pulled him towards the bedroom, anxiously shouting,
"Run! There's a tiger! Let's hide first."
By the time Chen Hao reacted, Lin Yuerou had already dragged her into the bedroom.
The door was locked.
Chen Hao pointed his pistol at the door and asked, "Did you see a tiger just now?"
"I think so. I didn't see it clearly, just a quick glance," Lin Yuerou said, staring at the door, still terrified. "
Meow! "
A cat meowed from outside.
Chen Hao glanced at Lin Yuerou, and she quickly explained, "It's the size of a cow. It must be a mutant cat."
A quick glance revealed
that the enlarged cat did indeed resemble a tiger.
Chen Hao had killed mutant cats before, so he knew there were other mutated cats and dogs in the building.
But one the size of a cow wouldn't be so easy to deal with.
Chen Hao said nothing, simply pointing his pistol at the door, waiting for the mutant cat outside to break in.
But the mutant cat outside didn't seem to have any intention of breaking in. It meowed twice before falling silent.
The cat's steps were silent.
He didn't know if the mutant cat had left.
Chen Hao thought for a moment and used a kitchen knife to cut a hole in the door, allowing him to see part of the living room, but he didn't see the mutant cat.
He used a mirror to observe, but still found nothing.
Chen Hao looked at the nervous Lin Yuerou next to him and whispered, "You hide first, I'll go out and take a look."
"Don't go." Lin Yuerou hurriedly grabbed him, with worry and fear in her eyes.
"It's okay."
Chen Hao pushed her hand away: "The mutant cat seems to have left."
He had a gun in his hand.
He was not afraid of a mutant cat at all.
Even if it was a mutant cat as big as a cow, a volley of bullets would still kill it.
