Shan Changxu stood there stunned for a moment, watching Wang Zheng's performance with great interest.
A short while later, Wang Zheng heard a noise behind him, turned around and saw that Dang Liantao had already arranged the other personnel and had returned.
He nimbly scurried along the alley wall a few times before leaping onto the roof and standing next to Shan Changxu.
Upon seeing the scene before him, Dang Liantao frowned.
"What's going on now? Why haven't you made a move yet?"
Dan Changxu smiled and pointed at Wang Zheng.
"This kid's playing the one-man show here. He said if I throw my superpower down, it will electrocute him and he'll hurt me in return. I was just thinking about how to deal with it when you showed up."
Dang Liantao originally wanted Wang Zheng to retreat, but then he thought that since these rats couldn't cause him any real harm, he might as well let him go.
As for Wang Zheng's statement that he had not made any meritorious contributions after joining the military region and felt unworthy of his military rank, Dang Liantao was quite pleased with it.
On the bright side, at least he's truly starting to see himself as a member of the military region.
"Yes, if Old Master Gu knew what Wang Zheng said, he would definitely be very happy."
Wang Zheng felt somewhat embarrassed for not returning to replace Shan Changxu in time. Although it didn't cause any serious consequences, it was still a case of disobeying orders.
Seeing that Dang Liantao didn't blame him, Wang Zheng smiled sheepishly and continued to block the alley entrance.
He's the only one left in this area now; the other two guys are standing on the roof, so the rats can't bite him.
Therefore, he doesn't need to unleash the Fierce Battle Roar too many times. Anyway, the rats will charge at him mindlessly. He only needs to let out one roar when they are injured and want to escape.
Countless rats have died, but their numbers seem endless, showing no sign of decreasing.
Looking at the scene before him, Dang Liantao pondered for a moment before speaking directly to Shan Changxu:
“I’ll go left, you go right, let’s go around and observe carefully to find the source of these rats. If we really can’t find them, let’s try to find a more distant location and start eliminating these rats. We don’t have time to waste like this.”
Shan Changxu naturally nodded in agreement. Then, the two of them greeted Wang Zheng and told him to stay there and guard the area to prevent the rat swarm from reaching the streets. After that, they went their separate ways in different directions.
Wang Zheng watched the two figures leave, his eyes filled with loneliness.
It seems my happy life of grinding for spiritual energy is about to come to an end.
Wang Zheng glanced at his data panel, where the spiritual energy value was still jumping up and down. He sighed inwardly, hoping that these two big shots would leave him some scraps.
He knew in his heart that the right thing to do was to quickly eliminate the rats, but he was also a little heartbroken about wasting the spiritual energy points that were essentially given away for free.
Looking at the swarm of rats that was beginning to thin out, Wang Zheng suddenly produced two large hammers in his hands and then slammed them into the ground. With just a gentle roll, countless pieces of flesh and blood flew everywhere, instantly driving the rats into an even more frenzied frenzy.
Wang Zheng laughed heartily as he watched the endless swarm of rats advancing wave after wave, then cursed angrily:
"Have you all skipped lunch? Give it a good whack!"
——————
While Wang Zheng was happily gathering spiritual energy, just a few kilometers away in a high-end office building, the delivery guy from before was standing in front of a man's desk.
The man looked to be in his thirties or forties, with an ordinary appearance, a slicked-back hairstyle, and a very robust build.
He was leaning back in his executive chair, burying his body deep into the soft backrest.
Looking at the delivery guy in front of her, she asked casually, "What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you not to meet up so casually?"
The delivery guy now looked gloomy, completely lacking his previous enthusiasm and cheerfulness.
"Hiss—hiss—hiss—hiss—"
He kept emitting eerie hisses that sounded terrifying and jarring.
The middle-aged man reclining in the executive chair looked rather uninterested. He picked at his ear and then said:
"Didn't I tell you to speak Chinese here? If you haven't learned it, then get lost. I don't have time to listen to your nonsense!"
The delivery guy gave a sheepish grin and said directly.
"The body you possessed last time has been discovered by the people of this country, and now someone is watching it. When I sensed your presence and went to check on the situation, I found a very strange person. I can sense something from him..."
The middle-aged man seemed very tired and waved his hand to interrupt him.
"So what if it's discovered? Anyway, it was just a piece of junk, a defective product from an experiment."
Then his figure suddenly disappeared and reappeared eerily in front of the deliveryman, grabbing his throat tightly, his eyes revealing countless fierce glints, his eyes instantly turning blood red.
"Didn't I tell you not to bother me? Why are you interfering in my affairs?!"
The deliveryman's neck was twisted and deformed by his strong grip, and it slumped down limply, clearly indicating that his cervical spine was broken.
However, the deliveryman showed no sign of pain on his face, and even his previous obsequiousness was gone.
When the middle-aged man mentioned the word "experiment," a strange glint even flashed in his eyes.
Then he said to the middle-aged man with a grin, "I just came to remind you, but since you don't care, then forget it."
Immediately afterwards, countless black mists emanated from his body, instantly passing through the building's walls and disappearing without a trace.
The empty office was now empty except for the middle-aged boss. He was frowning, seemingly unhappy about being disturbed, and perhaps pondering the other person's intentions.
As soon as he let go, the delivery guy slid to the ground, clearly dead.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Mr. Zhang, there is a document that needs your signature."
Upon hearing the sound, Zhang Zong's face instantly split open from the middle, and countless tentacles grew out, completely enveloping the deliverymen on the ground before swallowing them whole.
After a series of wriggling movements, his face returned to its original appearance.
Then he rubbed his face, tried to smile, and said to the door, "Come in."
The secretary who entered didn't notice anything unusual; she was just curious why the delivery guy, whom the boss had personally greeted before, had left sometime earlier.
He then set aside this unimportant matter and began to explain his work.
If Professor Gu and his team had the testing equipment they developed in this room at that moment, it would probably be sounding alarms like crazy.
