Qin Jun's greatest trump card and reliance was not his SSS-level talent, nor was it the backing of the Qin family. It was the Doomsday Villain System. With villain points, he could exchange them in the system's mall for all kinds of heaven-defying treasures.
Especially the gene serum, which could directly break through realms.
However, villain points were extremely difficult to obtain, only achievable by hunting down the children of Fate. If he could gain them by slaughtering ordinary people, Qin Jun might have already killed tens or even hundreds of thousands.
This time, he came to Donghua City intending to target the Zombie King. But now, there was another child of Fate.
Just thinking of how this child of Fate had just provoked him, making audacious remarks in front of him, a trace of mocking coldness flashed in Qin Jun's eyes.
He quickly surmised Xu Chao's thoughts. It was nothing more than relying on the separation between his shadow and his body. No matter how arrogant he acted, others wouldn't know his true identity, so he acted recklessly, spraying nonsense.
It was rather reminiscent of the keyboard warriors of the old era...
However, what Xu Chao didn't realize was the consequences of his momentary satisfaction...
Qin Jun pondered for a moment and immediately summoned Wang Hai.
"Do you know an Evolver named Xu Chao?" Qin Jun asked.
Wang Hai was stunned and, after some deep thought, shook his head, "Never heard of him."
Qin Jun nodded. It seemed Xu Chao didn't belong to any shelter. Otherwise, with the limited number of Evolvers in Donghua City, Wang Hai would surely have remembered him.
That left only one possibility: Xu Chao was still hiding somewhere in the city. And the reason he claimed to be under Blood Bear's command was nothing more than an attempt to provoke conflict between Qin Jun and Blood Bear, so he could seize the opportunity to covet the Zombie King...
Qin Jun deduced Xu Chao's plan almost immediately, down to every detail.
But Xu Chao's attempt at sowing discord was nothing short of childish and ridiculous! A mere Blood Bear, thinking he was worthy of 'mutual destruction' with Qin Jun?
Qin Jun then instructed Xie Han, "Contact the Eastern Capital. Have them check how many people named Xu Chao live in Donghua City and where they reside."
As the nation's foremost metropolis, the Eastern Capital held significant political importance. The Governor's Office in the Eastern Capital also oversaw the household registration of various cities in the southeastern region, including Donghua City. Although household registration records had become obsolete after the apocalypse, they were still preserved and stored in the archives of the Eastern Capital's intranet.
Even with just a name, Qin Jun could easily uncover all the background information on anyone named Xu Chao. Although the results might not be entirely accurate, they could at least narrow down the general area.
And that was enough...
Qin Jun would gradually narrow down the scope until Xu Chao was found, teaching him the consequences of reckless taunting.
At this moment, Wang Hai cautiously voiced his opinion, "Master, this person claimed to be sent by Blood Bear, but I don't think that's likely. Blood Bear, despite his brutish appearance, is actually quite cunning. He wouldn't dare provoke us. And even if he wanted to send a warning, he wouldn't send just one lackey."
Qin Jun smiled slightly and nodded, "I know, but so what?"
The smile on his face was warm, but his eyes were icy cold, devoid of any emotion, like a god indifferent to mortal affairs.
Wang Hai froze for a moment, then a chill rose from the bottom of his heart. He understood Qin Jun's intentions...
Meanwhile, in the Jin Gangwan Community in Donghua City, Xu Chao let out a long breath, as if he had just been saved from drowning, his face pale and his breath labored. His consciousness had returned to his body.
Xu Chao's expression was gloomy. That Qin Jun was terrifying—just one glance from him, and Xu Chao's shadow had exploded without him even knowing what happened!
With a cold expression, Xu Chao concentrated, and the air in front of him began to distort, as a shadow reappeared. His shadow had resurrected.
Looking at his revived shadow, a smile gradually spread across Xu Chao's face. Remembering how he had taunted Qin Jun in front of so many Evolvers from the Qin family, Xu Chao felt even more elated, laughing heartily.
After all, the figure that appeared at that time was just his shadow, and no one knew his true identity. So he had taunted Qin Jun with reckless abandon.
In the old days, Xu Chao had often engaged in heated arguments online, dominating the internet as a top-tier keyboard warrior. Now, his shadow made things even more exhilarating!
He could use his shadow to go wherever he wanted, trash talk whoever he wanted, and cause trouble however he liked! It was almost as if Xu Chao was playing a game, where his shadow was his character. No matter what he did with his shadow, there was no danger to himself!
With this shadow, Xu Chao felt invincible, and he smirked, wondering if Qin Jun was now trembling with anger.
Xu Chao then left his room, spotting Zhou Lan dressed in a maid's uniform with black stockings, cleaning the house. This outfit was actually Xu Chao's personal preference. Although Zhou Lan didn't like this attire, feeling it stripped her of all dignity, she had no choice but to rely on Xu Chao to survive in the apocalypse and had to reluctantly comply with all his demands.
If it were before, seeing Zhou Lan dressed like this would have aroused Xu Chao, and he would have eagerly taken her for his enjoyment. But after seeing the stunning beauties, Xie Han and Wang Zhi, by Qin Jun's side, Zhou Lan suddenly seemed quite ordinary in comparison.
Xu Chao's interest in her dwindled...
He thought to himself that once he devoured the Zombie King, he could leave this place and then take over a shelter, hoping to find other beautiful women.
But then he reconsidered—those women in the shelters were likely already ruined. Despite being a loser, Xu Chao had a deep-seated obsession with virgins.
With a sigh, he wondered if there might still be other survivors...
As Xu Chao's thoughts wandered, he quickly dismissed the earlier incident of provoking Qin Jun, not considering it to be of much consequence.
How could Qin Jun know who he was? Xu Chao was hiding in the Jin Gangwan Community—did Qin Jun really think he could search all of Donghua City?
After all, the city was home to hundreds of thousands of zombies...
....
In Donghua City's First Affiliated Hospital.
"Sir, something terrible has happened!"
A lackey rushed into the room in a panic, shouting to Blood Bear.
Blood Bear frowned and said in a deep voice, "What's going on? Why are you so flustered?"
"There's an army heading toward our shelter! It seems to be from the Qin family of the Eastern Capital!"
"The Qin family of the Eastern Capital??"
