C4 – He Entered the Residential Building!

Tan Chong didn’t linger long. He slipped away from the residential building quietly.

​”Mr. Dong, Tan Chong has come out,” the fat-faced man reported, his gaze never straying from the building. Upon spotting Tan Chong, he promptly informed Chen Dong.

A flicker of disappointment crossed Chen Dong’s face as he watched Tan Chong emerge unscathed from the building, but it quickly morphed into a menacing look. “Tan Chong, did you actually go in to check? Or were you just hiding in a corner trying to bluff your way through?”

​As Tan Chong approached, the fat man stepped forward to confront him directly. “We all heard the zombies’ roars just now. Tan Chong, be honest with me, were you too scared to go in and investigate?” interjected a sleazy-looking man.

Among their group of five, Tan Chong was the least capable. He might struggle to defeat even a single zombie on his own. And with the roars that had echoed from the building, indicating the presence of several zombies, how could Tan Chong possibly have made it out alive?

​Chen Dong’s expression grew stormy. He glared at Tan Chong and threatened, “If you dare to slack off on the task I gave you, don’t expect me to be lenient.”

A glint of resolve flashed in Tan Chong’s eyes. He inhaled deeply and reported, “I’ve thoroughly scouted the inside. The second floor has two rooms full of zombies, but they’re all trapped and can’t escape.”

“Besides the two zombies on the third floor, I also discovered a substantial amount of food in one of the rooms there.”

“You found what? A large stash of food?” Chen Dong’s composure wavered.

​The other three men’s eyes bulged with anticipation. In their world, the significance of food was undeniable. If Tan Chong’s claims held true, securing this food supply would be a monumental achievement, catapulting their standing within the Celestial South Gathering Land.

“Tan Chong, are you telling the truth?” Chen Dong asked, seeking confirmation of Tan Chong’s account.

Tan Chong nodded emphatically, assuring him, “Every word I’ve said is the truth.”

“Tan Chong, you’ve done exceptionally well this time. Upon our return to the Gathering Land, I’ll make sure to inform the leader of your deeds,” Chen Dong exclaimed, his voice brimming with elation as he commended Tan Chong.

Of course, he was merely paying lip service. Deep down, he loathed Tan Chong with a passion.

Considering Tan Chong’s commendable performance this time, he decided to spare his life for a few more days. There would be another opportunity to eliminate Tan Chong on a future mission.

“Thank you very much.” Tan Chong managed a strained smile.

He was acutely aware of the kind of man Chen Dong was. Tan Chong paid no mind to Chen Dong’s remarks.

“Tan Chong, you take the lead,” urged Chen Dong, growing impatient.

Without further ado, Tan Chong turned and jogged toward the apartment building.

Chen Dong and the other three trailed closely behind him.

Upon entering the building, Tan Chong gestured for silence and motioned for the four to follow him.

Reaching the third floor, Tan Chong pointed to a door and whispered, “It’s this one.”

“Tan Chong, are you sure there are only two zombies in there?” Chen Dong asked, his anxiety evident.

With just two zombies, the five of them could easily dispatch them.

But if there were more, they could be in trouble.

“I’m certain. There are only two zombies inside, and I’ve even shut the door,” Tan Chong clarified.

Chen Dong nodded and commanded, “Everyone, be ready. Tan Chong, go open the door quickly.”

Tan Chong approached the door, grasping the doorknob.

Using his psychic force, Tan Chong detected that the door was locked, making it impossible to open it effortlessly.

But as a Level 1 Evolver, Tan Chong possessed immense strength. With a forceful twist, he opened the door.

The two zombies inside, alerted by the noise, snarled and charged toward the door.

Tan Chong swung the door wide open and swiftly stepped aside.
