113: Chapter 113 Loot

Saint Descending Upon the World died.

Numerous light spheres of various sizes floated around the corpse; these were all items from his system space.

Chen Ze reached his hand into them.

The system prompt immediately rang out.

[Congratulations on obtaining 9,888 survival coin!]

[Congratulations on obtaining one E-rank Zhanmadao!]

[Congratulations on obtaining 20 E-rank wood, 33 stone, and 16 steel!]

...

With a wave of his hand, he directly put away all these miscellaneous items.

"Not bad, quite wealthy!"

Chen Ze didn't expect that old fellow Saint Descending Upon the World to be this rich, dropping nearly ten thousand survival coin just from the survival coins alone.

He didn't yet know that a considerable portion of the resources in this lucrative haul was actually the deposit paid in advance by Liang Kun.

"Holy crap, no wonder this gun could shatter bulletproof glass! It turns out it's been enhanced!"

Fatty clumsily backed out of the carriage, still holding a golden pistol in his hand.

"Brother Ze, look!"

Chen Ze took it and looked.

[Item Name: Golden Desert Eagle]

[Item Rank: None!]

[Item Description: An enhanced Desert Eagle, damage increased by 300%, automatically generates one bullet every 5 minutes, with a maximum limit of 7 bullets!]

(This item cannot be upgraded again!)

"What the hell! What is this thing? Infinite ammo?"

Even Chen Ze couldn't help but exclaim out loud.

Shouldn't this thing be the protagonist's golden finger in apocalyptic novels? How did it drop from a loser like Saint Descending Upon the World?

He immediately dragged over Fatty, who had crowded close, casually pulled at the corner of the other's clothes, and carefully wiped away the bloodstains and dust staining the gun body.

The golden gun body shed its dirt, instantly revealing its full appearance. It shimmered with flowing light, boasting a luxurious texture; the cold metallic sharpness matched with the eye-catching golden coating gave off an intense sense of deterrence.

"Good treasure! It's identical to the Golden Desert Eagle in CF!"

Chen Ze played with it for a while longer before tucking it into the back of his waist.

"Brother Ze, you're going too far. You took the treasure, and you still used my sleeve to wipe it!"

"What's wrong? My body is wearing E-rank leather armor; if you get it dirty, are you going to wash it for me?"

"Fine~ Just you wait, I'll definitely get a D-rank one later, and then let's see what you have to say!"

Chen Ze was in a good mood and bantered with Fatty for a couple of sentences before remembering that the heart of the fortress hadn't been taken yet.

He used the longyin saber to flick Saint's neck, and immediately a crystal-clear pendant appeared.

[Item Name: heart of the fortress]

[Talent Name: Modern Armament]

[Talent Rank: S]

[Talent Description: You can enhance all thermal weapons and military equipment props of Blue Star. A single item can only be enhanced once, with a cooldown of three days. The current remaining cooldown is two days and 23 hours!]

Good grief! Did he get another S-rank talent?

"No wonder the damage of that bomb was so terrifying!"

Chen Ze finally reacted at this moment. The Golden Desert Eagle in his hand and the C4 used in the previous explosion should both have been enhanced by that old brat Saint using his talent.

"Holy crap! This talent is strong! Brother Ze, hurry up and devour it!"

Ever since the Brier talent was revealed last night, Fatty already knew that the Blockhouse could devour other people's talents.

"You think I don't want to? The Fortress is only level 2 right now, and can only have two talents!"

Chen Ze said exasperatedly.

"Then hurry up and upgrade it, it's not like we don't have money!"

"I'm telling you, can you use that thing on your neck?"

Chen Ze directly gave Fatty a flick on the forehead.

"Last night, the Blockhouse's rating only increased to B+, and the siege zombies were already fierce to that extent. If we upgrade again now and also devour an S-rank talent, do you not want to see tomorrow's sun?"

Hearing this, Fatty suddenly came to a realization.

The strength of the siege zombies followed the Fortress's rating. Once the strength was too high and they couldn't hold it off, that would truly be playing themselves to death.

"Then... what should we do? If we don't devour it today, once Saint's Fortress is breached by zombies, the heart of the fortress will also shatter along with it!"

Fatty had hit the nail on the head this time.

If it wasn't devoured, what about tonight's zombie siege?

Could it be hard-carried with repair packs?

Saint's Fortress was at level 2 after all, and had an S-rank talent. Now its rating had even reached B-rank.

Hard-carry for a whole night? Tens of thousands of survival coin probably wouldn't be enough to consume, and it would just be money down the drain!

"No, we must devour it today!"

Chen Ze pondered slightly and quickly made a decision.

Just at this moment, several hurried footsteps rapidly approached from afar, and Wang Yalan and the others also hurriedly rushed to the battlefield.

Looking at the corpses all over the ground, the overturned and scrapped escorted truck, and the dark red blood and sand everywhere, the expressions of several people all changed, and they secretly felt alarmed in their hearts at the tragic nature of this slaughter.

"Brother Ze, are you guys alright? Those people who launched the sneak attack... have they all been dealt with?"

Wang Yalan walked up quickly, her eyes full of worry, and hurriedly asked.

"Yeah, they've all been killed!"

Chen Ze's tone was calm.

Without waiting for the few of them to recover from the shock, Chen Ze spoke again.

"How are you guys? Are you injured?"

"Ah? W-We're fine."

Wang Yalan quickly snapped out of it and replied softly.

"Just now, when the shockwave of the bomb explosion swept over, Xiaolong and Uncle were shaken and bumped against the wall, suffering some minor skin injuries. Mengmeng has already simply treated their wounds for them."

Chen Ze's gaze swept over the few of them, his sight falling on each person one by one.

Sure enough, he saw that all of them had varying degrees of bumps and bruises, fortunately none of them were fatal injuries.

"It's good that everyone is fine! You guys collect everything these people left behind; Fatty and I have to make another trip to the forest later."

"It's already getting late today, why do you still have to go?"

Wang Yalan spoke subconsciously, her small hand directly grabbing Chen Ze's arm.

Chen Ze hadn't planned to explain much, but seeing the other's expression, he still spoke.

"The Blockhouse is going to upgrade today, and my strength must keep up; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Wang Yalan was the earliest to follow Chen Ze, and she understood his personality best.

Once he finalized a decision, no one could sway it.

She couldn't persuade him otherwise, and could only suppress the trepidation in her heart, whispering instructions: "Then you guys must be careful, avoid danger when you can! Never bite off more than you can chew! Come back early!"

"Yeah! Rest assured!"

Chen Ze raised his hand, gently clasping her slightly cool little hand back, his thumb gently rubbing her palm.

Right at this moment, Li Mengmeng seemed to suddenly remember something.

"By the way Brother Chen Ze, that girl named Xiao Yun's home seems to have been... destroyed by the shockwave of the explosion."

Hearing this, Chen Ze turned his head to look at the location of that single-story house in his impression.

But at this moment, it was bare over there, without even a trace of a house's outline left. Only a few lonely light spheres were floating unconsciously.

Chen Ze stood dazedly in place.

In a daze, he seemed to see that innocent little girl again. The girl was wearing a lace dress, holding a large handful of milk candies with both hands, skipping and hopping as she ran towards him.

After a long silence, Chen Ze sighed deeply.

"It's good that she's gone, saving her from suffering in this fucking world!"
