The Second Awakener Chapter 19: Viper Squad
Wilderness area.
The body of a unicorn cat fell in a pool of blood, losing all life.
Chu Zhou and the other three smiled at each other.
This time, they cooperated very well.
Chu Zhou and Ling Zhan were responsible for damage output, Shi Meng was the tank, and Li Qingshi was harassing and pulling the unicorn cat...
After a lot of cooperation, they basically did not get hurt and solved the problem of the unicorn cat.
This is the power of teamwork.
If Chu Zhou himself wanted to kill the unicorn cat, even if he succeeded, he would probably be injured.
Moreover, if the unicorn cat wanted to escape, it would be difficult for him to stop it alone.
“BBQ, eat meat!”
Chu Zhou smiled and immediately took out the dragon tooth sword. He first took off the horn of the leopard cat and put it into his backpack. Then he cut off a large piece of meat and started to make a barbecue dinner.
"The life field can reach 25 points."
"Five points left before I can advance to the advanced awakener level."
While eating meat, Chu Zhou took the opportunity to look at his life field energy.
After reaching A-level in basic breathing techniques, his efficiency in absorbing cosmic energy is now almost six times that of other awakened ones.
Moreover, not long ago, when his basic breathing method broke through the A-level, that is, it was promoted to the 17th level, in addition to greatly increasing his life field energy in a short period of time, his life field energy was still rapidly increasing during this period of time.
In addition, he had just completed the first level of the 'Titanium Golden Body', and the transformation of his body had also greatly promoted the increase of his life field energy.
All in all, his life field energy has now reached 25.
"Give me ten more days!"
"No, maybe it won't take ten days, just four or five days, and my life field energy will probably reach 30."
"It's a pity that we have run out of hawk meat these days, otherwise it would be faster."
Chu Zhou was addicted to this feeling of becoming increasingly stronger.
The barbecue was quickly finished.
Chu Zhou cut off a large piece of meat from the unicorn cat, put it in a plastic bag, put it in the backpack, and then he and Ling Zhan and the other two continued their journey.
Half a day later.
A huge ruined city came into the eyes of Chu Zhou and his three companions.
The urban buildings here are severely damaged, and the vegetation that can be seen everywhere has covered the walls of some buildings. Many giant plants that did not exist in the old times have grown taller than some buildings.
The badly damaged old buildings combined with countless gigantic plants form a unique and beautiful scene.
"Is this the ruined city from the old days? It's really spectacular. What I saw online is far less shocking than what I saw in person."
Li Qingshi jumped onto the wreckage of a bus, looked at the city , and muttered to himself.
"This is the civilization we humans once built! Unfortunately, it has now become a ruin and a shelter for countless monsters..."
Shi Meng sighed deeply.
"Be careful, we have entered the area of County 0504. The monsters living in the ruined city are much more numerous than those living in the wild, and they are much more powerful."
Chu Zhou reminded.
The war between humans and monsters has a long history.
At first, monsters mainly lived in the wilderness area.
But as the war between humans and monsters continues, many monsters gradually discover...
When they are in the wilderness, due to the lack of obstacles, they are easily wiped out in large numbers when faced with human gunfire.
Especially low-level monsters, they don't have much resistance to gunfire.
But if you live in a human ruined city, there are a lot of buildings and many giant plants as obstacles...
Then, it would not be so easy for humans to kill them with guns.
Once the human army enters the ruined city, they will basically have to engage in street fighting with monsters and it is easy for them to be surrounded by countless monsters.
Later, humans used missiles to clean up the land and nuclear explosions to level the ruined cities.
This method really works.
The initial effect is obvious.
But monsters are not wild beasts, monsters are also intelligent.
Especially high-level monsters, their intelligence is no less than that of humans.
Humans can use extreme methods to flatten ruined cities, and monsters will also launch terrifying beast tides against human cities and break into them.
The initial war between the two tribes was extremely brutal.
Later, both sides could not bear such losses, so the human God of War negotiated with the King of Monsters and finally reached an agreement.
Humans cannot easily launch missiles and mushroom bombs on the ruined cities where monsters live.
Monsters cannot easily launch a tide of beasts against human cities.
Of course, the agreement is an agreement, but neither party will fully abide by it.
Once humans discover that the monsters gathered in a ruined city pose too great a threat, they will still launch extreme attacks.
Likewise, monsters will occasionally launch beast waves.
There are high-level officials on both sides, and they are just trying to maintain a rough balance to prevent the situation from getting completely out of control.
As for "small conflicts", we can't care so much about them.
It was also after the emergence of the agreement that humans mainly relied on individually powerful warriors to eliminate monsters in the ruined cities.
"According to the information we collected from the Warrior Forum, someone discovered a group of scorpion-tailed dogs in the west of the city."
Li Qingshi jumped down from the wreckage of the bus and said to Chu Zhou and the other two.
"Then, let's head to the west of the city now."
Chu Zhou waved his hand and led Ling Zhan and the other two toward the west of the city along a street that was mostly covered with weeds.
However, they had not advanced 500 meters when they heard the sound of a fierce fight coming from the front.
Soon, Chu Zhou and his three companions saw another team of warriors.
That team of warriors consisted of five people.
They had just finished hunting down a herd of iron-horned bulls.
Seven or eight corpses of iron-horned mad bulls lay on the grass, with blood all over the ground.
"who!"
Suddenly, there was a cold shout, and a gloomy man with a black eye patch on his left eye and a mechanical arm on his right hand looked towards Chu Zhou and the other three.
"Are you going to steal the prey?"
There was another person who smiled coldly, half-crouched down, and pointed a sniper rifle at Chu Zhou and the other three.
The other three people also looked at Chu Zhou and the other three with murderous intent, as if they would attack at any time.
"Not good! They just killed the Iron-horned Wild Bull and we showed up... I'm afraid they mistakenly thought we were trying to steal their prey."
As Li Qingshi spoke, Chu Zhou and the others' expressions changed slightly.
However, this was their first time hunting in the wilderness area.
But I also learned from the warrior forums about some of the unspoken rules that warriors follow when hunting monsters in the wilderness .
That is, when someone has just killed a monster, you'd better not appear near it.
Otherwise, it is easy to be mistaken for a prey hunter and be attacked ruthlessly.
The reason why such unspoken rules are formed...
In fact, it is because the incidents of snatching prey happen too often.
Humans are complex animals. When living in human cities, they are bound by laws and rules and dare not act recklessly.
But in the wilderness area... this is a lawless place and anything can happen.
Especially when the stakes are great enough, humans may be more dangerous than monsters.
Therefore, many different unspoken rules have been formed in wilderness areas.
If you don't pay attention to these unspoken rules, once they are violated, it can easily lead to misunderstandings or even death.
"let's go!"
Chu Zhou took Ling Zhan and the other two and slowly retreated dozens of meters, then left in another direction.
When the five people saw Chu Zhou and the others leaving, they knew it was a misunderstanding and did not choose to attack them.
Of course, they all looked at Chu Zhou and others vigilantly, and Chu Zhou and others disappeared from their sight.
“Those four guys just now looked so young, as if they were high school students who had just graduated not long ago… Hehe, four rookies dared to form a warrior team and come to the ruined city to kill monsters… They are really asking for too much!”
Sniper Sun Long laughed coldly.
"I don't think they'll survive the night!"
Lu Jun also spoke with contempt.
"No... I seem to have seen that man with the sword on his back somewhere before."
Captain Lu Wu pinched his chin with his right hand and said with a frown.
"Captain, when 'Butcher' Jin Jingwu contacted you yesterday, he sent you a photo. The person in the photo seems to be the young man who just left."
A team member suddenly reminded.
"Chu Zhou, yes! The man just now was Chu Zhou!"
A gleam of light suddenly flashed in Lu Wu's one eye.
“Hehehe, I didn’t expect to be so lucky this time. I actually met Chu Zhou here.”
"Everyone, we may be about to have a big deal."
Lu Wu suddenly smiled sinisterly.
"Big business? Those rookies just now?"
Sniper Sun Long, Lu Jun and others all looked at Lu Wu with surprise on their faces.
Their Viper Squad has always had "extensive operations".
In addition to normal monster hunting, he occasionally works part-time as a killer. When he sees other warrior teams hunting monsters of astonishing value, he is not averse to being a robber...
In short, as long as the benefits are great, the Viper Squad can do anything.
However, for their Viper Squad, a "business" of 10 or 20 million is only considered ordinary.
To call it a “big business”, it must be worth over 100 million.
Lu Wu pressed the communication watch and contacted Jin Jingwu.
"...'Butcher', you contacted me three days ago and told me that if I met the person in the photo, I would inform you immediately. Is that correct?"
Lu Wu said to Jin Jingwu.
"...'Cobra', have you seen Chu Zhou? Tell me where he is immediately? I will reward you 10 million."
Jin Jingwu spoke rapidly.
"Hahaha, 'Butcher', you really underestimated my appetite. Do I need your ten million? Ten million is not enough to fill my teeth, who should I send?"
Lu Wu smiled sinisterly.
Jin Jingwu paused for a moment, then said, "So what do you want?"
"Give me 300 million! I'll help you get rid of him! How about it?" Lu Wu opened his mouth and asked for a sky-high price.
"Three hundred million? You, Cobra, are you so ashamed to charge me three hundred million for killing a primary awakener? Are you crazy?" Jin Jingwu roared, "One hundred million, at most one hundred million. If you agree, then do it. If not, I will find him sooner or later!"
"One hundred million is one hundred million. I'll do this deal!"
When Lu Wu heard that Jin Jingwu was getting angry and seemed to be cutting off contact, he quickly agreed to Jin Jingwu's offer.
One hundred million is not a small amount!
Especially, the target to be killed is just a primary awakener.
In this ruined city, hunting down a primary awakener is too easy for their Viper Squad.
"...'Butcher', wait for my good news and get ready to transfer the money."
Lu Wu cut off the connection and said to the four team members:
"Brothers, business is here. If we kill those four rookies, the Butcher will give us 100 million."
"Hahaha, Captain, you can get 100 million just by killing those four rookies? This deal is so easy!"
"Yeah, it's so easy. We haven't received such an easy business in a long time."
The members of the Viper Team spoke very casually, not taking Chu Zhou and the others seriously at all.
"Alright, let's act now! Those four rookies haven't left yet... Let's get rid of them sooner and get the money sooner."
As Lu Wu spoke, he took four team members and rushed in the direction where Chu Zhou and his four companions left.
…
On a small path.
Chu Zhou and his three companions carefully walked through the ruins.
"Chu Zhou, I remember the origin of the warrior team just now. The leader of that warrior team wore an eye patch and a mechanical arm. He should be the infamous 'Cobra' Lu Wu..."
"The team just now was the Viper Team."
Li Qingshi suddenly said.
"...'Cobra' Lu Wu? This person doesn't seem to have a very good reputation."
Shi Meng frowned and thought of this person.
"…Not just bad, it's simply stinking! 'Cobra' Lu Wu and his Viper Squad have been known to frequently snatch prey from other warrior squads, and have even secretly attacked warriors from the wilderness area many times…"
"The reputation of the Viper Squad is just as bad as that of the Blood Shadow Squad!"
"Fortunately, we didn't have a conflict with them just now, otherwise we would be in big trouble now."
A hint of fear appeared on Li Qingshi's face.
Chu Zhou didn't take the Viper Squad too seriously.
They are just passers-by, and there is no conflict of interest between the two parties.
The other party doesn't need to take action.
Moreover, their teams can work together to hunt down high-level beast soldiers, so they are not without the ability to resist.
"Let's go, we're at the west of the city. We'd better find a high point, and then use the telescope to find the whereabouts of the scorpion-tailed dog."
Chu Zhou said this, and took Ling Zhan and the other two to a tall building covered with giant vines.
