Infinite Survival: I Can Plunder Passive Skills - Chapter 195 - Failure, Assassination

A day later.

Zhou Chen and Li Guofu went to the Redwood park that the young man mentioned and found the secret signal. Then, they went to the location in the secret signal and contacted the people there.

When they arrived at the location, they realized that it was an abandoned sewers with a few poor people in ragged clothes. Not long after giving the secret signal, they saw the young man.

The young man welcomed Zhou Chen and Li Guofu. He revealed that they were going to do a large scale operation in a day. Once this operation was successful, everything would go on the right track.

“What operation is it?”

When Zhou Chen asked this key question, the young man smiled and did not speak. He only told the two of them to come on time and help. After the matter was done, they could have a share of the loot. Then, his figure flashed and left.

“There’s action as soon as we come? I feel like it’s a trap.”

After leaving the meeting place, Li Guofu said to Zhou Chen, indicating his distrust of this secretive organization.

“It’s okay. I’ll go over tomorrow. You guard the back and support me.”

Zhou Chen also felt that this so-called operation was suspicious. It might have been deliberately arranged by this young man.

“Alright, I’ll get Ella to help you check on your surroundings tomorrow.”

Li Guofu also felt that this plan was okay.

Ella was the name of the bespectacled girl with super strong perception. After a few days, they were already familiar with each other and knew her ability well. They knew how to coordinate with each other.

Another day passed quickly.

Zhou Chen left the inn in the morning and went to the place he had agreed upon yesterday.

When he arrived, he realized that it was a remote abandoned building. There was no one else in the building, and he was clearly the first to arrive.

After a while, the young man with the lightning power suddenly appeared.

“Why are you alone? Didn’t you say that you and your friend were coming?”

The young man asked when he saw that only Zhou Chen was here.

“My friend has something to do. I’m the only one joining this mission.”

Zhou Chen replied calmly.

“Is that so… But with your strength, it should be okay. Come this way.”

The young man led Zhou Chen and left the abandoned building.

Zhou Chen looked around, looking forward to seeing the force behind this young man.

However, he was quickly disappointed. He realized that the young man was not taking him to their secret base. He directly brought him to the rather lively city center.

“Where are the others?”

Zhou Chen asked.

“They are waiting ahead.”

The young man replied without looking back.

After a while, Zhou Chen followed this young man to a hotel in the city center. They entered a room where he saw two fifteen to sixteen-year-old youths.

Through his Bloodthirst, he realized that these two youths were mutants.

Zhou Chen was instantly speechless. He had thought that this young man controlled a powerful mutant organization, but in the end, other than him, there were only two youths who looked to be minors. Could this plan even succeed?

If not for his confidence in his own strength, Zhou Chen would have wanted to run.

“This is the external help I brought.”

The moment he entered the room, the young man introduced Zhou Chen to the two youths.

“Is he reliable, Todd? What if he is a spy for Nete Tech?”

One of the youths was not too sure about Zhou Chen and expressed his doubt.

“You have to believe in my judgment.”

Todd smiled at the two youths and said,

“According to the information, the target will soon reach the theater. We have to prepare to move.”

Zhou Chen finally knew the young man’s real name was Todd. This was indeed the name he had heard Teresa say more than a month ago.

“Who is the target?”

Although these people were wary of him, Zhou Chen still asked them.

“Don’t worry. What I can tell you is that it’s a big shot from Nete Tech.”

Todd replied with a smile.

Ten minutes slowly passed in the rather silent atmosphere. Then, at a certain moment, one of the two youths looked at the movie theater opposite the hotel and said that the target had appeared.

Todd looked at the other young man.

“I’ll go with him first, you follow behind.”

He then looked at Zhou Chen.

“Friend, it’s time to take revenge on Nete Tech. Let’s go!”

Zhou Chen felt a little helpless, but he still followed him out of the room and out of the hotel.

During this process, he realized that there was a completely transparent and nearly invisible person following behind him. Through his Bloodthirst, he determined that it was the young man that Todd had told to follow.

“So this young man’s superpower is invisibility. Who is he ambushing?”

Zhou Chen thought.

As they slowly approached the cinema, a female voice suddenly sounded in Zhou Chen’s ears.

“The leader of Nete Tech, Robertson, is in the movie theater ahead. There are two mutants, two robots, and a large number of gunmen guarding him.”

Zhou Chen was not surprised by the female voice. It was Ella sending him information through her superpower.

Ella and Li Guofu was not far from here. They found the location through the tracker on the communicator on Zhou Chen’s body and were observing the surroundings to provide real-time information.

Ella’s communication ability was very magical. Only the targets she designated could hear the words she sent over, similar to Thousand Miles Sound Transmission. This was how the crazy mutant, Rod, communicated with her.

“The big shot inside is actually Robertson? Isn’t this too much of a coincidence? I feel like something is wrong.”

Zhou Chen was puzzled.

Li Guofu and he had originally wanted to deal with this Robertson, but after considering that the man was difficult to approach, he prepared to change his target. Unexpectedly, this person suddenly ran out of his nest and came to this movie theater to give up his life. This was quite suspicious.

However, Ella confirmed that the person inside was really Robertson through her perception, making Zhou Chen wonder if this was really just a coincidence.

Ella’s perception was different from others. She could very precisely confirm the target’s appearance, physical characteristics, and many other details.

“Could Ella be colluding with Nete Tech to fool me? No, Todd is also very sure that Robertson will appear inside…”

While Zhou Chen was thinking, he and Todd were not far from the entrance of the movie theater.

“Friend, our target is inside. I’ll go in first, support me.”

After saying that to Zhou Chen, Todd’s figure flashed and disappeared.

However, through his perception, Zhou Chen knew that he had already entered the movie theater door not far away as a bolt of lightning.

“His superpower is really convenient. His mobility is top-tier.”

Zhou Chen thought inwardly.

The next second, he heard faint gunshots and cries of surprise from the theater. Soon, some audience members began to flee from the door.

Zhou Chen stood not far away and observed these fleeing people. He confirmed that the target was not among them. He had seen the photo of Robertson displayed by Li Guofu and knew this old man’s appearance.

“That invisible young man didn’t go in either. He is just standing outside.”

Zhou Chen sensed that the invisible young man following behind did not go in to help. He did not know what he was waiting for.

After two seconds, a huge hole suddenly appeared in the wall of the movie theater in front of Zhou Chen. A muscular man in a black uniform broke through the wall and charged toward him.

“The plan has failed! Retreat!”

Toby arrived beside Zhou Chen as lightning. He turned into human form and said something to him before turning into lightning and leaving.

“???”

Zhou Chen was instantly speechless. He had not done anything after following them, but this person said that the plan had failed. Moreover, if it failed, he should just run. Why did he even come to his side and say this? Was he afraid that others would not know that he was their accomplice?

“The assassin just now was unable to cause any damage to Robertson, who was protected by the two mutants, so he retreated. One of the mutants seems to have defensive superpower, while the other seems to have physical strengthening power.”

While Zhou Chen was speechless, Ella’s voice sounded in his ear again, telling him about the situation just now.

“I see… So that kid’s attack power can’t defeat his opponent…”

Zhou Chen immediately understood. Then, he raised his hand and punched the muscular man in black who had already charged to his side.

The muscular man was originally chasing after Todd, but Todd had turned into lightning and fled too quickly. He had also deliberately exposed Zhou Chen as his accomplice, causing the muscular man to change targets and charge towards Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen was not afraid of this guy whose body seemed to be very strong. He was also of the same type. Since that Robertson was still in this movie theater, it was up to him to complete the assassination. In any case, he had already been exposed.

Zhou Chen’s fist ruthlessly hit the burly man, and the latter’s body was forcibly moved several meters back. However, other than that, there was no other reaction. It seemed like he was not injured by Zhou Chen.

“This person is quite tanky, but I don’t have the time to play with you.”

Zhou Chen immediately realized that it would take some time to finish this person.

“Freeze! Activate!”

Zhou Chen activated his Freeze passive skill and charged at the burly man who was attacking again. After exchanging a few blows with him, he turned him into an ice sculpture.

Seeing that the Freeze effect had been triggered, Zhou Chen did not continue to attack this burly man. Instead, his figure flashed and charged into the theater’s broken wall.

He had to hurry. His Freeze could not restrict the burly man for long. He estimated that it would only take half a second for the latter to escape.

“Robertson is sixty meters to your left. He’s about to enter a car through the back door of the theater.”

Just as Zhou Chen entered the movie theater, he heard Ella’s voice.

At the same time, a series of gunshots sounded. Several gunmen appeared opposite Zhou Chen.

“Get lost!”

Zhou Chen was not afraid of these bullets. He charged forward and circulated the Eight Desolates True Energy to protect his body, repelling the bullets that were aimed at him. Then, he punched a gunman who was shooting at him from a window, making him explode into flesh and blood.

After this attack, Zhou Chen ignored the other gunmen. He continued to charge into the theater while blocking the bullets.

He encountered a lot of resistance in the theater. Two robots extended their palms and fired lasers, making two hot rays of light burn his body.

However, Zhou Chen had already activated his Shield passive skill. Before the two lasers could finish exhausting his shield, he punched the two robots into two piles of metal parts.

After killing the two robots, Zhou Chen used his Eight Desolates True Energy to destroy a few gunmen who were firing bullets at him. He suddenly turned around and punched, sending that muscular man in black flying.

“I feel like there’s a lot of additional strength in my body. Has the Berserk passive skill been triggered?”

Originally, Zhou Chen could not suppress that burly man with a punch, but now, he felt that his strength was much greater than before. To be able to easily do this made him know that the Berserk passive skill was triggered and already stacked several times.

“Looks like that old guy won’t be able to escape.”

Sensing the huge buff from Berserk, Zhou Chen’s figure swayed and crossed dozens of meters, knocking away a few guards blocking the way and rushing out of the back door of the movie theater.

Then, he saw an old man in casual clothes bending down and entering a long black car under the protection of a middle-aged man in a suit.

“The old man in front of you is Robertson.”

Ella’s voice sounded in Zhou Chen’s ears again.

“Alright, die!”

Zhou Chen punched the old man from afar. The ferocious Eight Desolates True Energy instantly surged and crushed the limousine behind the old man.

However, the old man did not even budge. His body was perfectly fine.

Zhou Chen focused and realized that there seemed to be an unknown substance protecting the old man and the middle-aged man beside him, blocking all the attacks.

“It’s the defensive superpower that Ella mentioned. Its protection ability is indeed very strong.”

Zhou Chen had already been informed of the relevant information. This punch of his was only an attempt. Since it was unable to break the shield, he would attack from up close.

His close-range attacks were much more powerful than using the Eight Desolates True Energy to attack from afar because not only would he gain the support of the Eight Desolates True Energy, but he would also be able to trigger various passive skills.

After Zhou Chen destroyed his limousine, the old man began to quickly retreat to the side under the protection of the middle-aged mutant, hoping to drag time until reinforcements came.

However, Zhou Chen would not give them the chance. He was still in the boosted state of several layers of berserking. His strength and speed were enhanced greatly. With a flash, he arrived in front of the old man and punched ruthlessly.

This punch produced ring-shaped ripples in the air that were visible to the naked eye. It was extremely powerful and broke through the shield protecting the old man, making his body explode and turn into a pile of red dregs.

After killing the old man, Zhou Chen turned around and hit the mutant beside him, blasting his body apart with two heavy punches.

At the same time that he heard the system announcement, Zhou Chen charged towards the black-clothed muscular man who was standing not far away and was looking at him with a slightly dazed expression..
