Liu Zheng's associates, the former pet humans from Sunshine Pet Store, were stopped at a checkpoint by traffic control. Liu Zheng attempted to bluff his way through using his connections, but the guards contacted higher-ups. He then sought help from Ace and 4399 of the 'Refuse Pet Faction,' but their organization could only offer to take the associates and train them as warriors, or allow Liu Zheng to escape. Facing the possibility of his companions being turned into warriors, Liu Zheng decided to handle the situation himself and prepared a special weapon.

"Neigh~"

Before the bullets fell, Skinny Horse had already arrived in front of Liu Zheng.

It rudely nudged away two green vests, then blinked its big eyes at Liu Zheng as if asking what had happened.

"Brother Ma, I was leading the team to the cemetery for deodorization, but we were stopped by these ’Sunshine Pet Store’ folks."

Liu Zheng pointed at those green T-shirts.

His voice was not loud, and those green T-shirts didn’t recognize Skinny Horse, so they had no idea what was happening.

But instinctively, they felt that something was wrong and all retreated behind the formation of green vests.

These ’Sunshine Pet Store’ employees naturally knew how ruthless Liu Zheng could be. Liu Zheng might not have the courage to kill official City Hall employees, but he definitely had it to kill them.

Unfortunately, this caution was of no use.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A continuous stomping sound rang out.

In an instant, all the ’Sunshine Pet Store’ employees were trampled into minced meat by the Skinny Horse.

Not only did the Dead fail to resist, even the well-prepared green vests couldn’t react.

When everyone realized what had happened, a patchwork of flesh carpets had already grown on the ground.

Swish, swish, swish!!!

The green vests all turned red, and their outlines emerged in the red light.

Emotionless eyes all focused on Skinny Horse, electric batons fully charged, bullets loaded.

Even though he wasn’t their target, Liu Zheng felt immense pressure, the four-arm mode triggered instinctively.

However, Skinny Horse remained indifferent, clearing away barricades, cones, barriers, and ground spikes with skillful sweeps, opening up a twin lane.

"Neigh!"

Skinny Horse gestured at Liu Zheng with its mouth.

Liu Zheng understood and took out the document given by the Tomb Guardian, soaking it with blood and pasting it on the windshield.

He returned to the car and started the spirit car, slowly heading towards the roadblock.

The red light grew stronger, but Liu Zheng remained oblivious, until he passed through the roadblock, the red vests did not initiate any attack.

Skinny Horse didn’t leave either, following behind the spirit car all the way to the cemetery entrance.

"Thanks, Brother Ma."

Liu Zheng got out of the car and tossed over a bottle of Silver Label.

If not for Skinny Horse’s intervention this time, things would have been quite troublesome.

"Neigh~"

Skinny Horse proudly patted its chest, then held the bottle with its hooves and drank.

This time it was smart enough to finish the drink while outside.

"Brother Ma, if you’re not in a hurry, would you hang around outside for a while?"

Liu Zheng said to Skinny Horse.

Although they’ve caused quite a commotion, neither the green vests nor the green T-shirts should dare cause any more trouble, but it’s always better to prepare for the worst.

"Neigh~"

Drinking, Skinny Horse nodded.

Liu Zheng directed the Xi Family Army to bring down the black boxes and opened them.

The deodorization equipment inside was unlike what he imagined, somewhat like an upgraded version of Iron-blooded Warrior’s armor.

Liu Zheng casually indicated for two of the Xi Family Army to put on the deodorization equipment, and the former pet humans who once vaguely resembled humans now looked completely unlike them.

The two pressed the activation button, and foam-like substances sprayed out from the gaps in the metal plates, quickly solidifying into chunks to fill all gaps.

Then, rows of indicator lights on the back of the armor lit up, and hollow spiral filaments were filled with turbid blood drawn from the bodies of the Xi Family Army.

"Strictly adhere to the manual, prioritize your own safety. You who have survived aren’t many, don’t let the numbers drop further."

Liu Zheng patted their shoulders and said.

"Yes, Boss."

The two nodded, then resolutely walked into the cemetery.

After a quarter of an hour, they emerged, supporting each other.

"Ugh!"

As soon as they exited the cemetery, they couldn’t wait to remove their masks and vomit on the ground.

They vomited continuously for ten minutes, until nothing was left to vomit, merely retching mechanically.

Their faces were extremely pale, and the indicator lights had completely turned into a shade representing the stench, dark green.

"Drink."

Liu Zheng forced a cup of full-sugar milk tea into their mouths.

The two laboriously finished drinking the tea, and their complexions indeed improved somewhat.

Liu Zheng helped them remove the deodorization equipment, then one by one carried them onto the spirit car.

The blood draw holes on their backs were shocking, but thank goodness they were still alive.

The mutations of the sewer made them more detached from humanity, but also granted them inhuman Vitality.

Moreover, the sewer environment also conditioned them to withstand foul odors.

"Ugh!"

Just as he placed the two on the seats, they started again.

"Guess they’ll have to stay outside for a while longer."

Liu Zheng helplessly took them off the car again.

"You’ve seen it, this work is indeed tough. If any of you have thoughts, you can share them now."

He returned to the car and spoke to the remaining Xi He and Xi Zhi.

Xi He shook his head, and Xi Zhi followed suit.

"Then go ahead."

Liu Zheng nodded.

Xi He and Xi Zhi continued using those two deodorization devices, while Dead Boy sneaked towards the remaining black box.

"Dead Boy, what are you doing?"

Liu Zheng called out to him.

"I, I want to help with the work."

Dead Boy said shyly.

"What you should be doing is eating well, studying well, and growing up well."

Liu Zheng picked him up off the car and handed him a bunch of food and drink.

"If you really want to contribute, take good care of them; logistics is also an important part."
