105: Chapter 105 is wrong! There's a problem!

On the wasteland.

A Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon roared past, its tires crushing the gravel and dirt road, kicking up a long plume of dust across the sky.

"Brother Ze, we'll be at the forest in another ten minutes or so!"

Fatty steadily gripped the steering wheel with one hand, while his other hand unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Chen Ze's side.

"Mn!"

Chen Ze leaned against the front passenger seat, giving a faint response as his gaze occasionally darted toward the rearview mirror, his brow slightly furrowed the entire time.

"What's wrong, Brother Ze? Are you still thinking about that family of three from just now?"

Fatty glanced at him and spoke on his own.

"If you ask me, Brother Ze, you're just thinking too much."

"Just think about it. With a peerless big shot like you right next door, their whole family gets an extra layer of protection for nothing. It's normal for them to worry about their safety and advise you not to go out."

Chen Ze took the mineral water, his fingertips pinching the bottle, but he didn't take a single sip.

"Something's not right! Stop the car!"

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Fatty slammed hard on the brakes. The four tires of the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon scraped fiercely against the gravel road, emitting a harsh screeching sound. The vehicle shook violently a couple of times before coming to a steady stop in the middle of the wilderness dirt road, the rear kicking up billowing yellow sand.

"What is it, Brother Ze? Did you spot some Mutated Beast?"

Fatty immediately opened the door and got out of the car, looking around. An E-rank long spear had already appeared in his hand.

But the surroundings were completely empty; let alone a Mutated Beast, there wasn't even a single fly.

"That couple has a problem!"

"Ah? Brother Ze, stop leaving me hanging like that. I thought a Mutated Beast had come!"

Fatty said with a grin.

"Ever since coming to this Otherworldly Realm, I have never lifted a finger to help them. Even if a Mutated Beast came, they shouldn't pin their hopes on me! That couple didn't want me to leave; there must be some other reason!"

As soon as Chen Ze finished speaking, a sudden ominous premonition arose in his heart.

Something is definitely going to happen today!

"Fatty! Turn around and go back!"

"Ah? We're almost at—"

Before Fatty could finish, he was immediately cut off by Chen Ze.

"I said go back!"

Seeing Chen Ze's solemn expression, Fatty didn't dare say another word and hurriedly scrambled back into the driver's seat.

He gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands and spun it a full circle. The heavy body of the G-Wagon carved out an arc and surged forward fiercely.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Chen Ze quickly opened the communication channel.

He wanted to see for himself whether, as that couple claimed, many people were being attacked by Mutated Beasts.

Chen Ze quickly scrolled through the chat history.

He found that most of the chatter in the channel was just idle banter, with only occasional transaction messages.

As for news of attacks by Mutated Beasts, he only saw three messages in total, and all of them occurred near the mutated ant nest.

At this moment, Chen Ze was completely certain that that couple had been lying from start to finish.

Figuring this out, Chen Ze immediately sent a private message to Wang Yalan.

Shanghai Li Yunlong: "There might be some changes over at the Blockhouse. The few of you don't go out, and all head to the top floor and stay there. The moment you spot anyone suspicious, attack them directly without hesitation!"

Wang Yalan and Li Mengmeng were helping Duan Linhai plant vegetables when they suddenly received a private message from Chen Ze and immediately opened it.

Upon seeing the content, their hearts instantly skipped a beat.

Why would Brother Ze say that? Could it be that he discovered some abnormality?

The doubt only flashed past hastily before Wang Yalan immediately replied.

Lanlan Is Not Lazy: "Got it, Brother Ze! We're heading to the top floor right away, and I'll report any movement to you at the first possible moment!"

"Mengmeng! Uncle! Brother Ze says there might be danger on our end! Grab your weapons and come with me to the top floor to keep watch!"

Seeing Wang Yalan's solemn expression, the two immediately understood the seriousness of the matter. They promptly put down what they were doing in their hands and rushed toward the sixth floor together with Wang Yalan.

After its last upgrade, the Blockhouse not only had increased height per floor, but the number of floors had also reached six.

This place was nearly thirty meters high from the ground, offering an extremely broad field of vision with zero blind spots. All the surrounding low Fortresses were trampled underfoot, leaving the movements across the entire wilderness completely unobstructed to the eye.

"Sister Yalan, what on earth is going on?"

Li Mengmeng clutched a crossbow in her hand, her tone carrying a hint of tension.

"I don't know either, but Brother Ze told us to be on careful watch—he must have his reasons!"

Just as Wang Yalan finished speaking, her gaze inadvertently swept toward the wilderness dirt road a few hundred meters away, and her pupils suddenly constricted.

Four pitch-black modified off-road vehicles with reinforced steel plates welded all over their bodies were deliberately dampening the roar of their engines. Utilizing the cover of the survival Fortresses along the way, they carefully wove their way forward. Their route was straight and precise, and their destination was unexpectedly none other than their Blockhouse!

"It's the enemy! They're coming for us!"

Wang Yalan harbored not a shred of wishful thinking and immediately sent the current situation to Chen Ze.

Lanlan Is Not Lazy: "Brother Ze! Four modified off-road vehicles are heading toward the Blockhouse. I see them driving very slowly, as if they're deliberately hiding!"

Seeing Wang Yalan's message, a trace of murderous intent instantly surged into the depths of Chen Ze's eyes.

As expected! It really was that couple playing tricks!

He didn't even need to think about it; that couple must have sold out his location, and those vehicles were most likely Liang Kun's men!

Shanghai Li Yunlong: "Got it. We'll be racing back in half an hour at most!"

Chen Ze traded all five arisaka type 38 rifles and the remaining bullets over.

Shanghai Li Yunlong: "You guys just guard the top floor. It's best if you can use ranged weapons to attack, but if you can't, don't take risks either. Just wait for us to get back!"

Chen Ze had thoroughly read the survival rules. As long as the Fortress remained in his hands, the moment outsiders entered it, he would know instantly, and he could even use his permissions to expel them.

In other words, as long as Wang Yalan and the others safely hid inside the Blockhouse, relying on his ultra-high durability value and emergency repair kits, he would definitely be able to stall until Chen Ze returned.

During the time the two were talking, the four modified off-road vehicles had already approached within a hundred-meter radius of the Blockhouse.

Inside the lead car, Shengling Tianxia looked up at the tall Blockhouse, a trace of banter flashing across his eyes.

"Shanghai Li Yunlong, right? You like screwing me over, right? Today I'm going to blow up your Fortress!"

He picked up the walkie-talkie and spoke.

"Full speed ahead, close in!"

At the order, the four off-road vehicles immediately shed all camouflage, and the muffled roaring of their engines erupted abruptly.

"Vrooom~"

Watching the motorcade suddenly charge forward, the last shred of wishful thinking among Wang Yalan and the others vanished completely.

Without the slightest hesitation, a cold glint flashed in the depths of Wang Yalan's eyes, and she shouted sternly.

"Fire!"

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The crisp and sharp sound of gunfire exploded almost simultaneously with her shout!

Bullets streaked downwards at high speed, heading straight for the windshields of the oncoming off-road vehicles!

But the next moment, the scene the three of them imagined—shattering glass and blood splashing everywhere—did not appear.

The bullet heads smashed fiercely against the surface of the car windows, leaving only a coin-sized shallow pit. Dense, spiderweb-like cracks spread outwards from the shallow pit.

Yet the entire pane of glass remained sturdy, showing no signs of shattering whatsoever.

"It's bulletproof glass!"

Duan Linhai was shocked. He had never imagined that these modified cars before them could possess such formidable defense.

What on earth is the background of these people?

"Don't just stand there, keep firing! If the glass doesn't work, aim for the roof; if the roof doesn't work, aim for the tires!"

At this time, Wang Yalan's heart was also shaken violently.

But with Chen Ze away, if she panicked, they would only be able to take a beating passively!
