“The price you’re offering is not bad. I’ll help you kill a pig now, whether you can survive or not is up to you.”

Lin Zhen did not stand idly by, jumping down from the wall and flicking his Black Dragon Spear.

“Gale!”

The warrior only felt a howling gust of wind by his side as Lin Zhen’s figure flashed past, and the Black Dragon Spear in his hand pierced through the head of the largest mutant pig!

The mutant pig had weaker vitality after its injury, and after its head was pierced, it fell to the ground. It twitched a few times and then died.

After cutting off the mutant pig’s ear with a small knife, Lin Zhen quickly ran off.

“The pork is for you. No need to thank me.”

Lin Zhen’s plan was clear: he would only kill the largest pig, leaving this warrior still struggling to fight, with no energy to compete with him for the meteorite. This was the most advantageous to him.

The pigs were all bloodthirsty, surrounding the warrior. He had no chance to escape, which allowed Lin Zhen to calmly kill the big pig and then escape.

Lin Zhen quickly turned a few corners, heading straight for the collapsed house.

Lin Zhen knew a lot about meteorites. During this meteor shower, countless meteorites hit the Earth. The military and Base City could only collect so many, and most Mmeteorites were still in the wild.

But not all meteorites were useful; 90% of them were useless. Only about 10% contained treasures within.

Dark Energy Stone was the most valuable type and acted as the currency between the stars.

Dark Energy Stone could emit energy that attracted other creatures. The mutant pigs nesting here were probably attracted by the Dark Energy Stone. Lin Zhen concluded that if there was indeed a meteorite in the meteorite pit, it would most likely contain a Dark Energy Stone.

Although the house had collapsed, the mutant pigs had made it into a pigsty, creating a passage in and out of the house.

Lin Zhen didn’t waste much effort entering and found a large pit on the ground in the center of the ruins.

A large hole, about two meters in diameter, had been punched through the roof. The pit on the ground was also about two meters in diameter.

“With a diameter of two meters, according to the proportion of ten to one, this meteorite should be about twenty centimeters in diameter. I’ll dig it out and

see. ”

Lin Zhen’s Black Dragon Spear immediately turned into a digging tool. He quickly cleared the debris with his great strength, revealing a black stone at the bottom of the pit.

“It’s really here, haha! The military personnel from the town have already come and gone, and they didn’t find this meteorite. My luck isn’t bad.”

Lin Zhen removed the meteorite from the pit, and as he expected, it was the size of a basketball, its surface shiny and black, looking quite different from the stones on Earth.

He immediately took out an alloy chisel and hammer, and began working nimbly.

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

Flakes of stone flew off, and large chunks of rock peeled away. For Martial Artist like Lin Zhen, this was not a difficult task.

Five minutes later, a black stone about the size of a pigeon egg appeared in Lin

Zhen’s hand.

“As expected… pleasant surprises don’t come easy. Even though it’s a Dark Energy Stone, it’s a bit small. Absorbing this dark energy would increase my strength by about 20 kilograms, with a corresponding increase in agility and nerve response.”

“But it’s not bad. My main goal is to collect the largest Dark Energy Stone to use when I advance to War General. This would break the physiological limits of humans, allowing me to reach a strength of over 1000kg at the peak of my career as a Warrior. The smaller ones, like this, are just timely absorption.”

Lin Zhen sat down and took out fossil powder and solvents, smeared them on the meteorite’s surface, and then clamped it between his hands to absorb the energy on the spot.

Dark matter constitutes 80 to 90 percent of the universe, and it can be said that dark matter is everywhere, making up the core of the universe.

Dark Energy is the active state of dark matter, concentrated in Dark Energy Stones. The small one in Lin Zhen’s hand could increase his strength by 20 kg at once, which was something that many Martial Artists could only dream of.

Under the effect of the fossil powder and dissolving agent, the Dark Energy Stone gradually melted, and threads of black energy seeped into Lin Zhen’s palm, fusing into his blood and bones.

Threads of Dark Energy traveled through Lin Zhen’s body, disappearing bit by bit as they moved forward. At each point of disappearance, his physical strength was enhanced slightly.

The familiar feeling from his past life came back, and Lin Zhen felt like every one of his cells was cheering.

One minute later, with the Dark Energy Stone completely dissolved, Lin Zhen opened his eyes.

“Whew! As expected, it works. I can feel my own strength increasing. My previous strength was about 800 kilograms, but now I estimate it’s increased to around 830. I just need a few more, and I’ll become a Level Nine Warrior.”

“I heard that the Dark Energy Stone in Yi Lan County is as big as a soccer ball. Ruoruo, whose strength was only at the level of a normal male six-level to seventh-level Warrior, suddenly became a War General. I must get my hands on that stone no matter what.’

Having absorbed the Dark Energy Stone, Lin Zhen slowly stood up, but suddenly felt a sense of unease.

“A gunman! ”

With a glance from the corner of his eye, he saw the muzzle of a gun on a nearby rooftop beginning to flash red, which signified the moment the bullet was about to be released.

The moment Lin Zhen’s mind sensed the danger, his body had already reacted.

He swiftly leaned back, and the gunfire rang out.

“Clang, clang, clang, clang!”

A string of fire tongues sent rocks flying around Lin Zhen’s previous position, with smoke rising everywvhere.

Leaning against the wall, Lin Zhen leaped up again, with the fire tongue barely grazing his feet.

Pushing off the wall in mid-air, his body glided forward like a stealthy cat and followed the path of the metal storm, leaving a series of fire and debris in his wake.

However, it stopped when Lin Zhen fell into a corner of the room, hidden from the gunfire. The torrent of bullets finally ceased.

The room was filled with smoke and dust, making it hard to see anyone and causing eyes to sting. The gunman outside had also lost his target.

On the opposite rooftop, a man stared in disbelief at the abandoned house:

“How is this possible? I didn’t hit him! My six-barrel Metal Storm can pour out 120 bullets in two seconds, and yet I didn’t hit him!”

This burly man was draped in yellow-orange bullet chains and held a gigantic six-barrel revolving machine gun. The latest product of the Technology Department, the Metal Storm, was still slowly rotating, with black smoke billowing from the barrel. He stared dumbfoundedly at the spot where Lin Zhen had disappeared.

His phone was still on the ground, connected to a video call.

In the video, Ruoruo’s face was filled with coldness: “Wang Yuan, is there anything else you can do? You can’t even kill a Level Eight Fighter, and you dare to call yourself the Violent Gun King.”

“Ruoruo, give me one more chance, and I’ll definitely kill Lin Zhen.”

“I don’t dare trust you anymore. I’ll find someone else. But let me remind you, since you haven’t killed Lin Zhen and your position is exposed, be careful not to be killed by him in retaliation. Delete our call records immediately; I don’t want anything to do with you.”

Ruoruo hung up the video call, and the screen went black.

The stunned Wang Yuan recalled Lin Zhen’s insane reflexes and immediately realized that Lin Zhen was not as weak as everyone had said. He hurriedly gathered his belongings and left the building.

Not even thirty seconds after he left, Lin Zhen climbed up from the side of the building.

He picked up a still-hot shell from the ground and sneered: “He’s run away, but no matter where the monk goes, the temple can’t escape. In this small town, there won’t be more than three people using this kind of Metal Storm. Let’s see where you’ll run off to.”
