62: Returning Traveler

“Gang Zi? You're back!”

After a brief moment of surprise, Wang Haoming immediately walked over to him.

The hunched man also revealed a smile, then hugged Wang Haoming.

“Let me introduce you, these are my parents.

Dad, Mom, this is Brother Wang I told you about.”

Gang Zi revealed the two people behind him, while making a simple introduction to both parties.

He and Wang Haoming were colleagues at the same company. On the day the game started, he was buying clothes at this mall.

In the following days, Wang Haoming, relying on his sales-honed eloquence and his own powerful strength, gradually gathered some powerful Professionals.

After settling down, Gang Zi voluntarily offered to leave, wanting to go home and find his family.

At the time, Wang Haoming strongly disapproved, but Gang Zi insisted on leaving and stated that he would not take anyone with him.

Wang Haoming tried to persuade him a few times but couldn't, so he could only let him go.

Originally, he thought that Gang Zi must have died outside, but he never expected him to return safe and sound.

He not only brought back his parents but also a Mutated Dog that clearly obeyed him!

Wang Haoming greeted Gang Zi's parents and quickly turned his gaze to the Mutated Dog behind him:

“Gang Zi, what's the situation with this Mutated Dog? Does it listen to you now?”

“Yeah, I got an item before that lets me form a contract with monsters. Later, it was chasing me, so I subdued it.”

Gang Zi stroked the Mutated Dog's head, appearing very affectionate.

A flicker of jealousy passed through Wang Haoming's eyes; he knew how formidable Mutated Creatures were.

Before, there was a nest of Mutated Rats here that killed two Professionals and still weren't caught.

They finally caught one, but it managed to slip away again when they weren't paying attention.

The most crucial thing was that these Mutated Creatures were exceptionally powerful in combat, as if they were born for battle.

Such a mighty Mutated Dog should only belong to someone like him!

However, he quickly reined in his emotions and asked, seemingly casually:

“That's really good. What level is your Mutated Dog? What's its combat power?”

He had just tried to look, but perhaps because this Mutated Dog had already signed a contract with a player, he couldn't obtain its information.

Gang Zi scratched his head and chuckled:

“Level seven, with 350 combat power.”

Wang Haoming's jealousy surged again; his own combat power, including equipment, was less than 400. Why did this guy deserve it!

However, he said calmly on the surface:

“That's great, great. I always thought you'd achieve great things when we were at the company, and now it's really coming true.”

He exchanged a few more polite pleasantries, finally revealing his true intentions:

“Gang Zi, your Mutated Dog is quite strong. How about going with Brother Wang to kill a couple of people?”

Gang Zi was suddenly stunned. Although he had experienced many hardships along the way, he had never killed anyone.

But, coming from Brother Wang's mouth, why did killing sound so... natural?

“Brother Wang, my parents just arrived. I want to settle them in.”

“No problem! There are so many empty rooms for Uncle and Auntie to stay in! You go arrange it first, we'll wait for you here!”

Wang Haoming didn't give Gang Zi a chance to refuse. He directly had the people behind him clear a path.

Gang Zi was a bit troubled, but he didn't know how to refuse at all.

His family was almost out of food, so he could only bring his parents back to rely on the other party.

They also obtained Professions, but they were the most common basic Professions.

If he refused the other party, what would happen to his parents?

Moreover, they were old, and Gang Zi didn't want them to suffer.

After clarifying the simple logic, Gang Zi could only force a smile and walk upstairs.

He found a clean room, settled his parents, and then wanted to go downstairs.

Suddenly, his father grabbed him, looked left and right, and said:

“Son, this Brother Wang of yours doesn't seem like a good person, does he?”

His mother also nodded, then said in a hushed voice:

“That's right, what good person goes around killing and chopping people at the drop of a hat?”

Gang Zi gave a bitter smile, then comforted them:

“Mom and Dad, the world outside has changed now. Brother Wang wasn't like this before; he often helped me at the company.

Maybe it's because those people provoked him, so he had to kill them.”

Although he said that, Gang Zi also felt that Wang Haoming had changed a lot.

He tried to persuade his parents for a long time, and only then did he walk outside.

His parents had endured too much hardship to raise him.

Before the apocalypse, he didn't have the ability to give his parents a good life, but now he did.

“Mom and Dad, for your safety, even if it means killing, I am willing to do it...”

...“Where did this Little Black Cat come from? Why hasn't it mutated?”

At this time, not far from the Walmart Supermarket, Gu Qinghan was still cooperating with Hao Zhi to kill the insects.

However, in Chen Yuting's arms at the moment, there was a Little Black Cat with eyes like emeralds.

“It was attracted by my personal charm. Don't worry about it too much, just hold it and that's it.”

Gu Qinghan rolled his eyes and casually made up an obviously fake reason.

If she knew that this was the Mutated Cat that had been chasing them before, she would definitely scream in fright again.

He glanced at the Little Black Cat, which was currently licking its paws. When it saw Gu Qinghan looking over, it stopped its actions.

This guy, after being controlled by his skill, still retained some instincts.

The most crucial thing was that this guy could actually change the size of its body!

After he told it that Chen Yuting was one of them, it actually approached Chen Yuting on its own initiative and was even willing to let her hold it.

“Forget it, let's just leave it at that. At least I don't have to worry about Chen Yuting's safety anymore.”

A powerful being with 1000 combat power, yet looking so harmless, it would be a great weapon at a critical moment.

Hao Zhi returned to Gu Qinghan's front again. At this point, he no longer dared to call Gu Qinghan 'little brother'.

In his heart, Gu Qinghan was the captain of a mysterious unit, out to perform some special missions.

“Report! All insects in the supermarket appear to have been eliminated. Do we need to enter the supermarket!”

He saluted Gu Qinghan and then waited solemnly for his instructions.

Gu Qinghan was a bit speechless; he hadn't even released all the Skeletons yet.

Last night, he had summoned the Skeletons to their maximum number of 26, and also had Chen Yuting craft another batch of equipment.

Currently, Gu Qinghan still had ten Skeletons outside, precisely because Hao Zhi had been acting strangely since yesterday.

Within the necromantic space, the remaining 16 fully armed Berserker Skeletons were on standby.

With just a thought from Gu Qinghan, they would descend by his side.

However, even with just ten Skeletons, it didn't slow down their progress in clearing the insects.

Hao Zhi could safely lure a maximum of 8 insects at a time, and without exception, they were all instantly killed by the Skeletons.

The Skeletons now were almost overwhelmingly powerful against these insects.

“Let's go, let's go inside and see.”

Gu Qinghan looked at this large-scale supermarket as if he had found a treasure.

Inside, there were not only massive amounts of supplies but also, presumably, a gate of calamity.
