Chapter 3 Welcome to Zaun
The group of people who broke in did not make things difficult for the bald man with a hooked nose who was closest to the door. Instead, they politely made way for him.

The hook-nosed man did not try to stop him and walked out of the operating room silently with his hands behind his back.

"Remember to pay for the door you kicked in."

"Haha, no problem, no problem, Doctor. We'll get the bounties for these people from Xierko and then compensate you."

The leading man nodded and made way, he seemed to be sure that he would get the reward.

Before leaving, the hook-nosed bald man glanced at Harley Quinn, then raised his eyes and looked at a corner of the ceiling.

Following his gaze, Lloyd Folger and Harley Quinn saw a humanoid creature entangled in dense feeding tubes and wires, its sharp claws revealing its danger.

"Hey, Dusk, do you think that thing is a birthday present he left for me? Oh, this old guy is really thoughtful, but the way he wrapped it is so ugly! And today is not my birthday!"

"Is that... a half-finished biochemical human? If it can cause chaos, perhaps it can help us solve the current crisis."

Lloyd Folger and Harley Quinn conversed quietly.

When the hook-nosed man left the operating room, the thugs raised their weapons and pointed them at the three people present.

"Don't move! The reward for being alive is higher, but if you're looking for death, I won't show mercy. Anyway, it says on the reward order that you can be killed or alive."

The leading man sneered and ordered his men to confiscate their weapons.

However, these villains were not very courageous, and no one was willing to approach them even after pushing and shoving.

The younger brother who was finally pushed out glanced at the three people against the wanted poster.

Soon, Lin Zizhi, who was wrapped in bandages and covered with scars, became their target.

"You! Bring it... bring it here!"

"what?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Hand over your weapons first!"

"I have no weapons!"

"Just hand it over when I tell you to! Don't... don't force me to do it!"

Lin Zizhi was a little annoyed. He still hadn't figured out the situation. He was covered in wounds and had a splitting headache that was unbearable.

Now being threatened by a group of people as a soft persimmon, Lin Zizhi clenched his fists, but finally let go.

"Hurry up! If you don't hand it over, I will do it!"

Lin Zizhi was just an ordinary psychiatrist. He did not seem to have any violent conflicts with others in his memory, let alone Lloyd Folger's "beating therapy".

He was just a civilized man who never used foul language during an argument. As usual, Lin Zizhi was just angry for a moment.

But this time, the blood rushing in his body brought a surge of adrenaline, and his heart beat faster, making him feel so uncomfortable as if his heart was about to jump out of his mouth.

The suppressed emotions were on the verge of getting out of control, and finally Lin Zizhi angrily picked up the operating table under him and smashed it at the other party.

"Okay! This is my weapon, take it!"

The terrifying force caused the operating table to not only hit the enemy, but also smash through the wall. At least three enemies were pinned to the wall by the operating table, and their lives or deaths were unknown.

Lin Zizhi stared at his hands in a daze. As his anger was vented, his overwhelmed heart finally relaxed.

"What's wrong with me? This rage that breaks through reason, and is this really my power?"

"Damn it! Kill him!"

At the command from the gang leader, everyone aimed at Lin Zizhi.

Lloyd Folger was quick to shoot the leader in the calf.

There was a burst of gunfire.

"Oh, damn!" The boss in mink was shot and fell to his knees. When he looked up, he saw a baseball bat coming towards him.

"Bye, have a sweet dream!" Harley Quinn grinned with her bright red lips and made a beautiful swing with a wicked smile.

"Boss!"

The group of little brothers suddenly lost their backbone.

Taking advantage of the enemy's confusion, Lloyd Folger fired a shot accurately hitting the iron chain fixed on the ceiling.

With the rustling sound of the iron chain sliding down, a huge humanoid monster fell to the ground, filling the room with dust.

"Ahem, what is that?" The gangsters looked blankly at the huge creature in the dust.

There was a deathly silence in the air. Lin Zhizhi did not move. He saw Lloyd Foger take the opportunity to come to the place where the hook-nosed bald man had stood before to look for the secret door.

Suddenly, a young man with a Mohawk hairstyle was grabbed by the leg by the strange thing and dragged into the dusty fog. After a scream, his life or death was unknown.

"Damn it! Who are you? Stop playing tricks! Come out now!"

The gangsters raised their hands and fired several shots into the fog, but there was no response from the fog. One of the gangsters carefully put the barrel of his gun into the fog.

Suddenly his gun was grabbed by something and he couldn't pull it out.

At the same time, a pair of scarlet blood eyes lit up in the smoke, and a strong and terrifying bloodthirsty aura spread.

It was too late for the gunman to let go, as he was also dragged into the fog by the monster.

"save……"

"Shoot! Shoot!" The thugs didn't care about his life or death and started firing bullets crazily.

The black shadow in the fog kept changing its position. It appeared and disappeared mysteriously, and every time it appeared, it was accompanied by people's screams.

"Good opportunity! Go this way!"

Lloyd Fogger really found the secret passage, and he and Harley Quinn took advantage of the chaos to take Lin Zizhi out of the laboratory.

The gangsters' bullets did not achieve any results other than smashing the bottles and jars in the laboratory, causing more explosions and colorful poisonous fog.

A strange green mist soon enveloped the laboratory.

"Stop! Stop! If you keep going on, these chemical reagents will poison us to death! Ha, ha ha ha ha..."

The gang finally calmed down and stopped shooting.

The dust and smoke gradually settled to the ground, and the poisonous fog gradually dissipated. The humanoid monster slowly walked out, and people finally saw its appearance and its blood-stained pneumatic steel claws.

Apart from the alchemical equipment on its body, it looks like Fenrir, the terrifying giant wolf from mythology.

It had almost no human features, and its eyes no longer flowed with tears but venom.

He coughed up clumps of burning, corrosive mucus from his chest, which immediately burned mottled holes on the laboratory floor.

With a wolf howl, the beast that regained its freedom began to kill recklessly.

"what!"

"Help!"

"Hurry up! Kill that monster! Haha..."

After leaving the secret passage, Lin Zizhi and his group ignored the screams behind them and quickly moved through the dim and dark jungle of steel structures.

The crowded buildings are cramped and filled with only some cheap green neon signs to provide light.

'I think I must be crazy!'

Lin Zizhi was running, his heart beating wildly due to the adrenaline.

In such a dangerous environment, he suddenly felt very happy.

Behind me is the roar of wild beasts, and in front of me is a strange and fantastic freedom.

It was like I had once dreamed of bringing a little freshness to my boring life. Now that I opened my eyes, I was no longer in the hospital I had visited thousands of times, facing an endless stream of mentally ill patients.

As he ran, the wind with a pungent stench blew over his body, blowing away a corner of Lin Zizhi's memory.

'Why does the hospital...feel so much like a prison?'

Lin Zizhi was a little distracted.

"Hey, be careful!"

Harley Quinn grabbed Lin Zizhi, and a broken pipe in front of her suddenly spewed out hot steam.

"Thank you."

The roar of the pipe brought Lin Zizhi back to reality.

This seemed to be an early industrialized city, with poorly planned cables and pipes everywhere, and thick exhaust smoke always being discharged into the air at will from the cracks in various pipes.

In this environment filled with steam and poisonous fog, the green neon lights cast hazy and eerie green shadows on people.

The howling of wolves behind them gradually faded away, and Lin Zizhi and his group were finally able to slow down and catch their breath.

"Where the hell am I?"

To put it nicely, Lin Zizhi is a person with strong adaptability, but to put it bluntly, he is a guy who habitually gives up.

Since he is here, he might as well make the best of it. At most it is just a dream, but he is still somewhat curious about the current environment.

Harley Quinn was standing on a leaky pipe. She turned around and smiled with her arms open, not caring at all that she would fall into the abyss if she stepped on empty air.

Behind her is a towering steampunk-style industrial city. In the distance, on the criss-crossing spider-web-like streets, everyone seems as small as an ant but is trying hard to survive.

"Welcome to Zaun!"
