A lot of Zach's actions are instinctive, as he's been fighting for months on end. He didn't hesitate to wrap him in a green shield, and when he took out the axe, the tree knife spread through his body.

However, before he even had time to look around, a huge gunshot was soon followed by an extremely strong impact that hit his shield. Fortunately, the shield was correct, because a large-caliber bullet turned into red-hot molten metal and fell to the ground in front of him. However, the sense of danger increased instead, and he summoned a second charge of his gear again, this time ready to use his movement skills to leave the crowd.

The rest of the group watched dumbfounded, only the ogre reacted quickly. Shadows gathered around him, and he safely disappeared from the line of fire.

Zach was about to step forward and disappear with [the homeless] when the second impact hit his new shield, leaving him defenseless. He had barely had time to remove his head when a third bullet grazed his forehead. Everything turned white for a second, and he found himself standing on the ground.

He felt a burning pain in his head, but a quick mental examination showed that he was mostly fine. Since he was promoted to E-class, he has more control over his body and can generally tell the state of all his body parts. He was very relieved that he had recently focused almost all of his stat points on dexterity in order to match with other terrible stats.

Without the dexterity of the fast movement that is allowed, it is impossible for him to dodge the last bullets, and after feeling the power of these bullets, he will not have any illusions, he can tank them like ordinary rifle bullets. Just as he was about to get out of bed, he saw a strange man almost teleporting to his side and immediately touched his chest.

Zach stared at the man and frowned, and the man looked back at him with horror on his face. He immediately sprang into action and fled, but an iron fist held him in place. Zach didn't know what kind of technique the man used to approach him, but he used the same method he used against Ogras, infusing his hand with cosmic energy.

The man struggled to break free, but a punch and the force of the truck in his gut caused him to curl up like a shrimp in the air. Zach stood up and looked around like an angry beast, looking for any conspirators in the man, while captive him like a shield. It was clearly some kind of assassination attempt, and this man was only responsible for taking his body.

"Are you alright?" asked a tired Julia from a distance, brandishing her soldiers in search of criminals.

"So much won't kill me," Zach said succinctly as he turned his gaze to the man he had caught.

"Who ordered you to attack me?"

"Please, mercy," the man muttered, still shaking from the punch in his stomach.

"Mercy?" we don't do," Ogras sneered, as he specifically returned to the group.

He had a sack in his hand and threw it on the ground, causing the six beheaded heads to roll out, each with a look of horror on his face. The demon had two huge sniper rifles on his back, and it looked powerful enough to blow holes in the tank, and he was covered in blood.

"What's wrong?" Julia screamed back as she saw something terrible.

"Answer him, or you'll join my collection," Ogras said with a devilish grin at the captive, who looked at the captive head horrified.

"Please, we weren't ordered. "We just want your cosmic sack," the man shouted.

"That's why you want to shoot me in the head with those rifles?" Zach retorted as he touched his forehead with his free hand.

The blood returned, and Zach was even angrier. Whether they were ordered or simply robbers, they had almost killed him, even though he had nothing to do with them. If it weren't for his dexterity and his defensive knife, his head would have exploded like a watermelon.

Zach slapped the man hard and threw him like a sack at Ogras.

"Can you question him properly in the future?" Zach said.

"I think. They gave me these new toys after all, so I should give me something back," he said, looking at his two rifles.

"I'm sorry for this incident, which was partly due to our negligence. I really know this guy, his name is Ricky. He is part of a small elite organization called the Red Mercenaries. Your friend... Handful... Most of the other members were kept in his bag. "Including Rhett himself," Julia said apologetically to Zach.

"Where did they come from?" Zach asked succinctly.

"They came through a private teleporter, and we don't actually know which town they're from. More importantly, please let the government take over from here. Someone has committed a crime, and these people have attacked you in the heart of New Washington. "Please hand over the criminals and their restricted gear," Julia said, glancing at the two rifles on the demon's back.

"What equipment?" Ogras said with a blank look on his face, and as he slowly lowered the rifles into the cosmic sack one by one, Julia glared.

"Come with us on this one. If you have any complaints, you must complain to Thomas Fisher. The details of our future cooperation have not been discussed. For now, we will maintain the status of diplomatic immunity, and we will deal with our problems ourselves," Zach said with a glance.

In a sense, this is a declaration of independence. He basically said that he and his team would do whatever they wanted, and they didn't agree to abide by any of the rules of the New World Government. This is both a show of strength and a way for Zach to test the government's patience. But more importantly, he was angry and in no mood to accommodate the government, which, as far as he knew, might even be responsible for the attack.

Julia frowned and looked down at the unconscious captive, but after a moment's hesitation, she didn't make her request again. She just walked up to a soldier, whispered a few words, and led Zack's men back into the limousine.

After the incident, the atmosphere in the car was rather oppressive, and all discussions quickly ended. Soon, they arrived at their destination, a large luxury high-rise hotel. Ogras walked in like a bloody demon and caused chaos, but Julia quickly calmed things down. Zach had already taken a healing pill in the car and wiped the blood off his head, so apart from frowning, he was basically back to normal.

Hotels currently appear to be managed by the government, which makes sense as there shouldn't be too many travelers who need a temporary place to rest right now. That could change in the future, though, when the new Washington becomes the center of their network in the future, and Zach can't help but be a little jealous.

He struggles desperately to avoid this fledgling town being ravaged by wild beasts, but the lives of these people are quite leisurely. It seems that the town has not really been tested from the beginning, and Zach wonders how exactly this environment can create a system-approved lord.

They have their own wings on the floor, but only a few of them actually go to check the room. Zach sat down at the bar and ordered a beer. It cost 1,000 relationship coins, which is much higher than the usual food price, but to Zach, it doesn't matter.

Everyone came down one by one, and soon only the demons were gone. It took only 20 minutes for Ogras to regain his spirits, wipe any traces of blood off and put on his new robe. When he returns, he doesn't take the people they caught with him either, which gives Zach a clear idea of Ricky's fate.

"So, what's the plan?" Ogras said, looking a little excited, with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"We have two things to do. Find someone to buy materials. I think we can separate," said Zach, who is still angry at the earlier attack. "I will accompany Sazhuang and he will focus on acquiring talent and playing the role of a bodyguard. I think Carllin will go to the bazaar and do some trading. ”

The gnome nodded, looking a little excited.

"If you can get a few branches to negotiate. I don't care if they're part of a new government network or an independent force. We have money in our pockets," Zach said.

"I agree. We have a great opportunity here, and it will be a while before competing consortia deign to come to the planet and give us a good start to seize control of the market. If they arrive a little later, we can squeeze them out. Not even a dragon can fight the local snakes," the dwarf said with a laugh.

Ogras said, "I'm going to go with that little blue bastard, it looks more fun." ”。

"Good. What about the prisoners?,Zach asked.

"He's in my bag," the demon replied with a smile, confirming that he was dead.

"Ibutaipu, who do you want to go with?"

"I'll join you. I'm curious what professions you humans have. "I feel that your society is more diverse than Zhilian, and learning more knowledge may strengthen our hive," Zhilian replied.

"Good. "As for the two of you," Zach said, turning to the two Ishii who had joined their party. "You can do anything. ”

"We're going to go to the bazaar to find something that will help Kirston," said female Isht Shey.

"Well, we'll leave tomorrow morning at 7 a.m., New Washington time. ”

With that, they left the hotel. Their strange group of people was constantly under constant scrutiny, but they were used to it now. However, just as they were about to leave, four men walked up to them.

"Mr. Munch and companions. We are from the New World Government and our mission is to accompany you on your tour. One gentleman politely said, "Please don't get me wrong, this is just to ease your ...... Any troubles that may come with a unique party component. ”。

"Well," Zach said lightly after some consideration.

He didn't care if government employees saw their activities. If they bring new people tomorrow through their conveyor belts, they can't hide.

Soon they were passing through the bazaar, which was a huge square and neighboring streets. The number of hawkers is staggering, ranging from mutated hides to old-world luxuries such as perfumes and jewelry. There are also quite a few stalls with street food. All in all, it creates a lively atmosphere that contrasts sharply with the deaths of 80% of the world's population over the past few months.

As soon as they entered the business district, Carllin and Ogras turned and left, followed by two government employees. As for Zach's group, they looked around before stopping.

"How are we going to recruit talent?" Zach asked, looking around and hesitantly.

"I have an idea," said the old fisherman, "but it requires us to know something about Atwood Harbour." ”。

"Oh?"

"Well, it's past lunch, and the auction takes up most of the day. We only had a short time to convince people to join us and move to an unknown area. They will be taking a huge risk compared to the relative safety of this town. We need to give them a good enough reason," said the Sap deal.

Zach asked hesitantly, but the fisherman shook his head.

"You. ”

"What do I mean?" Zach asked, confused.

"You're so strong, so you may not realize the reality that most people walk down this street. They look happy, but they're scared. Extremely panicked. Mr. Zhuang explained: "There are real-life monsters outside the gates, and any day these monsters can break through those walls and kill them. ”。

"But if they know that Port Atwood is protected by the strongest people alive, and that we only need to recruit non-combatants to be safe enough, a few might take that risk. ”

Zach pondered for a few seconds, but finally nodded. If the leaders of the government do not yet know whether he is a superhuman brother or a savior, then they will have to accept a spiritual challenge. Now that the milk has been spilled, they might as well use his status to their advantage.

"And what do you suggest?" Zach asked, the fisherman just grinning.

"Mainly for elemental mages. If you want to take some stones with you, of course you can, but they don't pay much. Protecting refugees on the way here is a way to make money. These jobs are provided by the Empire, not by us. Check with the Guardian or Explorer's Guild. Claire explains: "I think resistance training is probably the best option for you. ”。

"Good. Thank you for that. Elijah said to Claire. "It's good to have you here. I'm sorry to lose Kerion. ”

"You didn't lose him. Claire said, "You two are stupid enough to be teleported out. ”。 "You bring with you the possibility of finding him. ”

"We'll have to raze every dungeon in Tallinn to the ground to find that man. Elija said, shaking her head.

"Then you'd better start training. Claire said with a smile.

"Yes. Elija said, then turned to Christopher. "Your people are very nice. "Good luck, runem. She said, touching his shoulder.

"Thank you Elija for everything you do. The man said, making her laugh before she left the room. Her helmet appeared, and she blinked again and came to the square near the city center. The Suns are on the horizon, and there are already people doing their business.
