Eric was still engaged in underground fighting.It wasn't just out of boredom—the hefty rewards of gold per kilogram were extremely enticing. Winning each match brought in more gold, leaving no reason not to fight.Apart from a few ascetic monks who wanted to collaborate with Eric, other factions in Haevon had also taken notice of him. They too sought to form alliances, given Eric's terrifying combat prowess.After his first punch defeated a legend on the first day, none of his subsequent opponents stood a chance against him. Some even speculated that the combined strength of all the fighters in the underground arena wouldn't be enough to challenge Eric.Allying with Eric was not straightforward. A few ascetic monks had managed to track him to his residence, demonstrating some skill on their part. However, subsequent groups of pursuers were all taken care of by Stealthbane's men. In Haevon, acts of murder and robbery were common, and nobody paid attention to these incidents.For E

The people following Stealthbane were not to be trifled with—they rushed forward, slashing wildly.Although they carried guns, they didn't use them. First, firing at such close range might hit their own men. Second, the AMRs had failed to take down the enemy earlier, suggesting they were ineffective.The ascetic monks were equally fierce.Each one was highly skilled. Dealing with a few zombies was hardly a challenge.Seeing Stealthbane join the fray, the leader of the ascetic monks, Stavrophore Peter, shouted, "Chop off their heads! Chop off their heads! Remove their heads!"He had identified the crucial point.These creatures could still howl even with their limbs severed. The head was the key!Upon hearing this, Stealthbane didn't hesitate. He swung his large blade and attacked.His team consisted of experts. Despite facing seven or eight zombies, they quickly felled them.Exhaling heavily, Stealthbane asked Peter, "Is this what you call zombies? They don't seem like it!"A

Hearing that the bio-weapons might cause trouble, Stealthbane was almost scared to death.From tonight’s events, it was clear that even bio-weapons had different grades—some were very strong, while others were not as formidable.At the very least, the one that Eric had eliminated could withstand a legend-level attack. Of course, it might have been because Stealthbane's initial killing techniques were incorrect, but regardless, it was still a formidable presence.He ordered his men to reinforce the doors and windows overnight, welding shut any place they could to leave no gaps.After all this, he was still trembling. "These bastards! They really won't let people live in peace! Can they just calm down a bit?"Even when he was about to sleep, he worried that something might suddenly rush out and kill him.Meanwhile, Eric was not afraid. Before sleeping, he had a long phone call with Sylvia.Salt City was very peaceful, with nothing major happening.The Haevon virus could only reac

Stealthbane led everyone to a new location, yet another luxurious villa. Several ascetic monks marveled at Stealthbane's opulence. In Haevon, where every inch of land was worth a fortune, he owned nine properties!This, however, brought benefits to the group. By relocating, the people hunting them were temporarily unable to deploy bio-weapons.The two captured individuals were thrown to the ground, awaiting a brutal interrogation. Stealthbane was quite adept at such tasks. Drawing a sharp blade, he flashed a bloodthirsty grin and beckoned to his subordinates. "Come on! Beat them up!"His men immediately swarmed in, raining down punches and kicks.Everyone was somewhat baffled, especially the two captives. What was going on? Without asking a single question, they started with a beating? This wasn’t a typical interrogation method!Even Eric assumed this was Stealthbane's unique approach to interrogation and didn't question it further.After several minutes of beating, Stealthba

The searing heat hit them full in the face!The situation was far worse than Eric and Stealthbane had imagined. Flames were everywhere, accompanied by screams and cries for help.Sighing, Stealthbane said, "I hope this fire can burn away all the viruses."He was overly optimistic. The virus had already spread. How could it all be burned away?Eric replied, "After placing the explosives, you leave first. I can handle things here for now."Stealthbane nodded, and they parted ways.Eric's figure flashed as he entered the production base. Even inside, he could see the terrifying bio-weapons wreaking havoc.Ignoring the chaos, Eric found a sign and prepared to follow it to find some clues. Just then, an employee from the production base suddenly ran toward him, with a horrifying creature chasing him!"Help me!" the man shouted as he ran, terror etched on his face.Eric was unfamiliar with this place, so saving this person might yield directions. With this in mind, he launched himse
