Just as Lin Jiao and the other two were looking on in confusion.

Lu Feng had already crept toward the small building and found a spot opposite it.

This spot was a concave-shaped piece of terrain, perfect for luring the zombies over and treating them to some gas canisters.

With a thought, Lu Feng exited the game, brought the rigged gas canisters he had prepared earlier into the game, and then opened all the valves.

Seeing this, Lin Jiao took out her steel spikes and began striking them against a nearby metal railing.

When Chen Tao and Chen Hao saw this, they followed her lead.

Soon, the sound of metal striking metal echoed all around. The zombies surrounding the small building were drawn by the noise, grew agitated, and swarmed toward them.

Among them was the mutant zombie that had been mixed in with the horde.

The zombies became even more frenzied upon seeing Lu Feng and his group, roaring as they lunged forward.

"Go!" Lu Feng immediately shouted to Lin Jiao and the other two.

The three of them didn’t hesitate, retreating into the building behind them.

At that moment, Lu Feng also pulled out a lighter. Watching the approaching zombies, he lit it and threw it.

The next moment, with another thought, he exited the game.

Almost instantly, the gas in the air ignited, forming a spreading cloud of fire. The rigged gas canisters were also lit in a flash, exploding violently.

A terrifying shockwave instantly swept over the charging zombies, tearing their bodies to pieces.

The moment Lu Feng appeared in his apartment, a series of notifications popped up in his mind:

[Congratulations, you have killed a zombie and received 5 EXP!]

[Congratulations, you have killed a zombie and received 5 EXP!]

...

[Congratulations, you have killed a zombie and received 150 EXP!]

[Congratulations, you have leveled up!]

...

[Congratulations, you have killed a zombie and received 5 EXP!]

The notifications in Lu Feng’s mind stopped. The game screen showed a scene of utter carnage, with zombie corpses strewn about everywhere. Including the mutant zombie, most of them had been dealt with in that single instant.

Moreover, the experience from this mutant zombie had actually reached 150 points. A pity it died such an unremarkable death.

Furthermore, this wave of zombies had provided enough experience for him to level up, with plenty to spare.

Feeling the warm current from leveling up course through his body, along with that wonderful sensation, Lu Feng looked at his character attributes:

Character: Lu Feng

Gender: Male

Level: 8

Strength: 11 (Average person: 5)

Agility: 11 (Average person: 5)

Stamina: 11 (Average person: 5)

Spiritual Power: 0

Combat Skills: Basic Combat Techniques

EXP: 1234/12800

This level-up had added another point to his Strength, Agility, and Stamina, putting them all at more than double the average person’s score of 5.

With another thought, Lu Feng entered the game world. Lin Jiao, Chen Tao, and Chen Hao had already re-emerged and were walking toward the zombies that hadn’t died, finishing them off one by one.

Lu Feng walked over to the corpse of the mutant zombie, took out his steel knife, and broke open its head, retrieving a crystal source.

[This is a crystal source from a mutant zombie. It is quite valuable and can be used as currency or an energy source. Energy Value: 15!]

Apparently, this was just an ordinary Energy Crystal Source. However, its energy value was higher than that of the Mutant Beast Slaying Dog, reaching 15 points.

After storing the crystal source, Lu Feng led Lin Jiao, Chen Hao, and Chen Tao into the small building, heading straight for the top floor.

According to the game’s plot, that Wang Cheng was hiding in the leftmost room on the top floor.

Upon arriving, they could see that the entire hallway was blocked by several tables.

"Boss, someone intentionally blocked this hallway," Lin Jiao said, already leading Chen Tao and Chen Hao to clear the tables away. Then, they cautiously crept toward the last room. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

The moment they opened the door to that room, someone launched a sneak attack, striking at Lin Jiao.

Lin Jiao retreated.

Almost simultaneously, Chen Tao and Chen Hao coordinated with her and rushed in. A flurry of fighting sounds followed.

A moment later, the fighting stopped.

When Lu Feng walked into the room, he saw that Lin Jiao and the other two had already knocked someone unconscious. A foul stench also wafted through the room.

"Boss, this person is indeed wearing a Salvation Army uniform, but he’s been starving for a long time and doesn’t have much strength," Lin Jiao said, pointing to the unconscious person on the floor. She then gestured toward three corpses nearby. "There are three dead ones here, too."

Lu Feng subconsciously looked at the three corpses. They were also wearing Salvation Army uniforms. This scene wasn’t in the game’s plot; this was clearly a difference between the real world and the game.

’Judging by the condition of the bodies, the three of them were probably injured, turned into zombies, and were then finished off by their companion.’

Chen Tao picked up three firearms from beside the three corpses. "Boss, there are two laser rifles and one old-fashioned rifle here. The laser rifles are out of energy, but the old-fashioned one still has a few bullets."

Just then, Lu Feng’s gaze landed with surprise on a card lying among the three corpses.

The card was enveloped in a faint glow, which Chen Tao and Chen Hao seemed completely unable to see.

He realized what it was. ’It’s a skill card.’

Lu Feng immediately went forward, picked up the skill card, and viewed its information through the game’s inspection function:

[This is a special Old-Fashioned Firearm Mastery Skill Card. Upon use, you will acquire the Old-Fashioned Firearm Mastery skill. Use it now?]

Lu Feng’s eyes lit up when he saw this skill card.

Men always have a special fondness for guns. He immediately chose to use it.

The next moment, just like before, relevant information began to flood his mind—details about the assembly and disassembly, structure, bullet trajectory, recoil, and so on for all sorts of old-fashioned firearms.

After absorbing all this information, Lu Feng felt like a veteran who had been handling guns for over a decade. As he looked at the old-fashioned rifle in Chen Tao’s hands, a wealth of information surfaced in his mind.

Lu Feng immediately took the old-fashioned rifle from Chen Tao, went out into the hallway, and raised the gun to aim at a wandering zombie in the distance.

BANG!~

The gunshot rang out.

The bullet shot out instantly, and the distant zombie’s head exploded in a direct headshot.

This precise marksmanship left Lin Jiao and the other two, who had followed him out, completely stunned.

Lu Feng himself was just as surprised. This was the first time he had ever used a gun.

The Old-Fashioned Firearm Mastery had instantly turned him into a sharpshooter.

’I never expected such a pleasant surprise on this outing.’

Then, he looked at Chen Tao and Chen Hao, who were holding the laser rifles, unable to put them down, and said, "Give me those two guns!"

The two brothers nodded and immediately handed him the two laser rifles.

Lu Feng took the laser rifles, pulled out a crystal source, and spent 4 energy points to fully recharge both weapons. He then tossed the rifles back to the two brothers.

The brothers caught the guns and, seeing the fully replenished energy cells, beamed with delight. "Thank you, Boss," they said in unison.

Having witnessed the power of Lin Jiao’s laser rifle earlier, they had long been envious.

"Take this Salvation Army guy back first," Lu Feng said, glancing at the unconscious person.

’That must be Wang Cheng.’

Then, he also stored the old-fashioned rifle in his backpack space and went downstairs.

Chen Tao and Chen Hao immediately followed, dragging the unconscious man with them.

On the way, the man woke up once, but he didn’t cooperate and tried to resist. The Chen Tao and Chen Hao brothers promptly took care of him, knocking him out again.

This time, they also found a rope and tied the man’s hands and feet.

After returning to the bank, Lu Feng instructed Chen Hao and Chen Tao, "When he wakes up, question him thoroughly. At the very least, find out his identity."

The two brothers nodded.

Lu Feng, on the other hand, went to the second floor. When he reached the data storage room, he saw Cheng Yaoyao busy at work.

Cheng Sisi obviously couldn’t help, so she could only stand to the side, fanning Cheng Yaoyao with a file to make herself look useful.

"Sir!"

Seeing Lu Feng, the two sisters immediately stood up respectfully.

Compared to when they first met, the two sisters seemed less restrained and nervous.

Lu Feng asked, "How’s the repair work on the electromagnetic rice cooker technology going?"

Cheng Yaoyao immediately replied, "I’ve repaired some of it, but it will still take some time to fix it completely."

"Mm, keep up the good work." After getting an update, Lu Feng, under the astonished gazes of the two sisters, exited the game with a thought and returned to his apartment.

Lu Feng left the apartment and had just gotten into his Panamera when he received a call from his cousin, Yang Ming.

He immediately answered, and Yang Ming’s voice came through: "Xiaofeng, Chen Bo and I are back. We’re at the teahouse. We found a middleman who can take that ton of gold off our hands in one go."
