‘What is this old man’s ability? Is he really a healer?’

Zhou Chen was stunned when he saw that the old man had healed Li Guofu greatly in just two seconds.

“Alright, I’ll help you with your revenge.” Zhou Chen nodded at the old man. “But I need more information about that Thompson.”

“No problem, I’ll tell you everything I know.”

The old man understood Zhou Chen’s question. He immediately began to tell him more about Thompson, such as his age, appearance, where he usually appeared, who he hung out with, and so on.

In addition, the old man narrated some of his past.

According to him, he used to be a young vagabond and lived a difficult life. A few years ago, he was brought into Nete Tech to work, but he realized that it was a scam. He was treated as a test subject and did many dangerous experiments.

In this period of time, he got to know a girl who was also a test subject and fell in love with her. However, this blissful period did not last. The girl died in a group experiment. Only he survived and became a mutant.

However, he was not happy at all about his survival. He endured the exploitation and tortures, and escaped when he was sent to a field experiment. Then, he encountered Zhou Chen.

“Old man, your experience is quite complicated. Don’t worry, we will think of a way to avenge you. Be patient.” Although the old man said that he was actually a young man, Zhou Chen still called him that. His hatred would eventually be avenged.

“I have the time to be patient.” The old man nodded before saying, “But your friend here might not be able to wait long. A situation like his has also appeared in the experiments of the Nete Tech. He will completely become a monster in a month at most.”

The old man looked at Li Guofu, who had already put the long coat back on.

“A month is enough.” Confidence flashed in Li Guofu’s eyes when he heard the old man’s words.

“I’m not a mutant, but it’s not hard to hunt an evildoer. I’ll bring that Thompson’s corpse to you in a week.” Li Guofu’s voice carried strong confidence, as if doing this was easy for him.

“It’s not easy to deal with people from Nete Tech, especially that bastard Thompson who has a high status.” The old man did not agree with his confidence. “But as long as any of you can kill him, I will heal you.”

The old man gritted his teeth when he spoke of Thompson. It was obvious that he hated him very much.

“Alright, this can’t be rushed. Let’s return to the camp first.” Zhou Chen felt that it was not good for them to continue to chat in the wasteland, so he wanted to bring Li Guofu back.

“No need. In my current state, I might bring some pollution to your camp.” Li Guofu shook his head and handed a walkie-talkie to Zhou Chen. “This is a high-tech communicator I recently obtained. It can allow us to communicate across a thousand kilometers. Let’s talk later.”

“Fine.” Zhou Chen knew that Li Guofu was unwilling to trouble him, so he accepted the communicator and watched as the latter entered his jeep and disappeared into the wasteland.

“Captain, are you really going to go against Nete Tech?” After Li Guofu left, Lucy, who had been watching them talk, asked Zhou Chen with concern.

“Of course.” Zhou Chen nodded.

“I killed their people and am already their enemy. It’s reasonable to deal with them.”

“However…” He changed the topic. “Maybe Li Guofu will be enough to deal with them?”

Zhou Chen smiled, showing his confidence in Li Guofu.

His confidence was not groundless. Although Li Guofu had not shown much and seemed to be mediocre, he was a high bronze ranked Survivor. The number of dungeons he had completed were definitely more than Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen believed that he had enough brains and trump cards to deal with a native.

The three of them returned to the camp. The old man continued to slack. Lucy entered the warehouse to sort out the supplies she had collected today. Zhou Chen used the communicator to communicate with Li Guofu.

“Thank you for letting me see hope in living.”

As soon as the call connected, Li Guofu thanked Zhou Chen for introducing him to the old man.

“When I kill that Thompson and return to normal, I’ll give you a high-level item as a gift.” He promised Zhou Chen.

“No need to treat me like a stranger,” Zhou Chen did not care much about this. “If there’s any trouble, let me know. I will support you as much as I can, since I also have a conflict with Nete Tech.”

“Thank you. If I need anything, I will definitely look for you.”

Li Guofu’s calm voice came from the communicator, accompanied by the roar of the jeep’s engine as he stepped on the accelerator.

The two of them chatted about their experiences in the past month and learned about their respective encounters.

Zhou Chen learned that Li Guofu had not had a smooth escape during the calamity in Paradise City a month ago. He was almost torn apart by a few violent tornadoes. At the critical moment, he used a random teleportation talisman to escape.

However, the random teleportation talisman teleported him to a polluted ruined city. He quickly began to mutate and had to rely on the many potions and tools on him to survive and kill his way out of the polluted area.

After that, he began to search for a solution to the monstrous mutation, but he ran into a brick wall; he was treated like a monster by the natives and attacked.

Later on, he avoided the people in despair, preparing to quietly spend the remaining time in a ruined city.

However, fate did not want him to die yet. He happened to encounter the robot, Lucy, in the ruins. Li Guofu felt that Lucy was very familiar, so he approached her to strike up a conversation. As a result, today’s events occurred.

“Your luck is really good. You happened to encounter Lucy, and I also happened to have an old man with healing abilities.”

Zhou Chen felt that Li Guofu’s matter was filled with coincidences. If he did not meet Lucy or if there was no old man with healing ability, he would truly be hopeless.

Of course, Li Guofu was not out of the danger of becoming a monster. He only had hope of recovery. However, this hope was incomparably precious.

“By the way, it’s not that difficult to heal you. Don’t you have that Bewitching Perfume? Just enchant the old man and let him treat you.” Zhou Chen finally mentioned this.

“I know.” Li Guofu smiled on the other side of the communicator. “But I don’t like forcing others to do things. It’s better to have a fair deal. If I find out that Thompson is not guilty of death or that it’s too difficult to hunt him, I will do this..”
