41. The Wilderness

There was a military camp a few hundred

miles away from the northern part of

Jiang-Nan city.

[RUMBLE~~] The train slowly came to a

halt at the military sector's station.

Fully armed fighters got off the train one

by one, for a total of twenty. These twenty

people naturally formed four squads.

"Han Sen, usually when we fighters go out

to hunt monsters, we enter the military

sectors to resupply" Chen Gu pointed

ahead of him, where a tall, steel tower that

was around 50 or 60 meters high was, "See

this tower? Across China, and even the

world, the military cuts out a special

sector of the wilderness to serve as a base

for fighters to rest and resupply. These

resupplying locations are marked with

these lighthouses. In other words, it shows

us fighters the way home".

Han Sen nodded.

In the resupplying base in the military sector, there was a solemn, small building,

which had a good environment.

"Fire hammer squad, you guys will stay at

#E6 to rest" an officer of the base gave the

captain of the fire hammer squad, 'Gao

Feng', a key as he laughed and patted his

shoulder, "Old Gao, how long do you plan

on hunting for this time? If you ever get

anything good, you're welcome to sell it to

my underground alliance. I'll be sure to

give you a great price"

Even though most of the staff here were

wearing military uniforms....

In fact, most of the service staff came from

the Dojo of Limits, the Thunder Dojo, the

government's army, and the underground

alliance. Even though they were there to

serve, they also purchase precious

ingredients obtained from monsters from

the fighters.

"Haha, sure" laughed Gao Feng, "hurry and

arrange for people to make us lunch".

The resupplying base wasn't that big."E6, over there" The fire hammer squad

quickly found the small three story

building representing 'E6'. The key was in a

form of a chip. After sliding the key across

the door, it opened. Before the fire

hammer squad leaves the resupplying

base, the ownership of the building

belongs to them.

"Gonna lay for a bit and sleep, didn't sleep

well last night" Chen Gu put down his two

metal boxes and jumped on the sofa. He

stretched his body across the sofa and got

comfortable.

"If you want to rest then rest now, we'll

officially depart tonight. At that time, you'll

need to focus" commanded captain Gao

Feng.

"Understood"

'Spear' Zhang Ke and the Twin Moon

Scimitar brothers laughed in response,

since they knew about the rules ages ago.

"Departing tonight?" Han Sen was

surprised."Han Sen, aren't you even paying

attention to the weather? It's the end of

September, which is the hottest time of

the year. Running with a couple hundred

kilograms worth of things in the middle of

the day? No matter how much water you

bring, it won't be enough, so you can only

drink from the river" Chen Gu laughed as

he looked at Han Sen, "Isn't it better to

run during the night? And it saves

water"

Han Sen laughed awkwardly.

Even though he read many posts, he never

realized this point.

"Hm?" Han Sen's gaze passed through the

window and saw someone in the

resupplying base, "Brother Chen, look, isn't

that Zhang Ze Hu?". At that time, Zhang Ze

Hu's body was covered in bandages and

there were marks of blood on the

sandbags, clearly showing that he was

injured and was recovering in the

resupplying base.

Chen Gu turned his head to look: "Yea, that is Zhang Ze Hu"

"Heh!" Chen Gu walked to the door and

delightly yelled, "Mountain Tiger, what's

wrong? Weren't you just fine last time,

how come you got so injured in just a blink

of an eye?"

Zhang Ze Hu, who was outside walking and

chatting with his comrades, turned his

head and saw Chen Gu and Han Sen at

the door. He got so mad his teeth started

to itch, and as his anger raged, he gave a

loud, mocking retort: "Fire Cannon Chen,

your fire hammer squad is an elite squad,

so how come you brought a rookie? Haha,

I bet your entire team will get dragged

down by that burden!"

Elite squads usually aren't willing to bring

rookies.

Because even if the rookie's body fitness is

good, without any experience, he could

mess up during crucial moments, which

could mess up the veteran members.

����Zhang Ze Hu and Chen Gu exchanged

some insults, but because captain 'Twin

Hammer' Gao Feng's yell, Zhang Ze Hu

went silent. Even though he was brave

enough to argue with Chen Gu at times, he

didn't dare to argue with Gao Feng!

Because, Gao Feng uses cold weapons

while Chen Gu uses heated weapons.

With heated weapons, even if you reach

the top, you can only reach the 'beginner

warlord rank', because heated weapons

like guns usually can only harm 'low level

commander level' monsters.

Zhang Ze Hu was very close to the

'warlord' rank.

"Fuck, can't believe Han Sen drifted into

the fire hammer squad". Zhang Ze Hu

walked with his comrades on the road, his

mouth still cursing, "I thought he would

get into a regular squad. That way, I can

cruelly teach him a lesson to let him know

the consequences of messing with me.

However, he got in the fire hammer

squad!"Zhang Ze Hu's teeth seethed in rage.

"Tiger, that young man next to Chen Gu

just now, is the Han Sen who made you

spend 100 million?" said the one-eyed

middle aged man next to him.

"Yea, that's him"

Zhang Ze Hu's eyes shone fiercely, "This

rabbit, I didn't think he'd be so cocky. After

that discussion, right after I turned my

head, the security agency ran straight to

my nephew's home! This kid actually

reported it to the security agency. I quickly

gave the country a hundred million to let

my nephew attain the 'one star civilian'

rank. However, even after that, my nephew

is still going to get locked up for a few

months".

When he thinks about how nervous his

older brother was, and Zhang Hao Bai's

shock and horror as he was taken by the

security agency, Zhang Ze Hu got even

more mad.

Although later he spent 100 million to keep his nephew. However, Zhang Hao Bai

wasn't able to escape a few months of pain

in jail.

"It's ok, don't think too much. Letting your

nephew go through some hardship is good

for him" The one-eyed middle aged man

laughed softly, "You should use this time to

rest. Your wounds should heal in about

three days, and then we'll depart and can

keep dealing with that old guy. After killing

that old guy, our team will become rich".

"Okay" Zhang Ze Hu nodded heavily, and

he stole a glance at the E6 building in the

distance and sneered, "I'm willing to bet

that Han Sen will either die or receive a

heavy wound in his first entry into the

wilderness!"

"Haha, you sure hold a grudge against him.

However, it is indeed hard to avoid injury

in the first entry into the wilderness"

laughed the one-eyed middle aged man.

����

Midnight, the fully equipped six members of the fire hammer squad departed the

resupply base and entered the

wilderness.

"Chen Gu, give me one of your metal

boxes" commanded captain Gao Feng.

"Haha, thanks captain. I can handle

carrying these boxes for a short period of

time, but not for long periods" said Chen

Gu as he handed one of his big metal boxes

over to captain Gao Feng. Gao Feng easily

took it with one hand and carried it on his

back. This amount of weight is nothing to

the strongest member of the fire hammer

squad, Gao Feng.

[KA!]

Chen Gu opened the other box, which had

a gray machine gun in it. The gun's muzzle

had a metallic luster. Other than the

machine gun, there were tons of bullets all

packed together, which filled up the entire

box. Obviously, there were an immense

amount of bullets.

"Brother Chen, what kind of gun is this?" asked Han Sen curiously.

"Type m81, 12.7mm caliber. It can fire 50 to

300 rounds in a minute, adjustable"

laughed Chen Gu contented, "The whole

gun is made out of 3rd grade Ke-Luo alloy,

so even if it continuously fires bullets, the

heat of the gun won't affect the accuracy

of the bullets".

Han Sen asked curiously: "Brother Chen,

how come you don't use the fire-god

cannon? Don't the machine guns of the

fire-god series have the greatest power?"

"You rookie!"

Chen Gu glared.

Spear 'Zhang Ke' laughed on the side and

said: "Han Sen, the machine guns of the

fire-god series do indeed have great

power. However, the fire-god series uses

up crazy amounts of bullets. It fires 7,000

shots in a minute, and some can shoot

even faster. Do you know what that

means? 7,000 shots in one minute. And

bullets that can harm a low level commander level monster is at lightest 50

grams! Ten thousand bullets will weigh

500 kg!"

"Running hundreds of miles with 500 kg of

bullets on your back. And finally, when you

kill the monster, after a minute or so your

fire-god cannon has used up all its bullets".

Zhang Ke laughed and looked at Han Sen,

"So what do you say? Is the fire-god

cannon good?"

Han Sen was startled.

He really did not understand this. Yes, the

weight of the bullets is a big problem.

7,000 bullets in a minute, how many

bullets do you have to bring with you for

the entire trip?

"Hauling a huge amount of bullets along

with a fire-god cannon is only done by the

army or when dealing with a specific type

of monster. Usually, people like us will

never use those types of guns, since there

aren't that many bullets for it". Chen Gu

laughed at himself, "I brought 10,000

bullets this time and even asked the captain to help me carry some".

Chen Gu had bullet chains wrapped all

over his body and held a machine gun.

With Han Sen, these two were in the

middle of the team, protected by the

others.

The twin moon scimitar brothers were in

front of the team.

Captain Gao Feng and Zhang Ke were in

the back.

"We'll head along this highway. After about

three days, we should reach our

destination--#0201 country level city",

said captain Gao Feng, but Han Sen

couldn't help but to keep looking at the

highway in front of him. For the people

living in the cities, highways only exist in

legends.

The highway under their feet was already

ruined; tons of cracks have already opened

up on it.

Looking ahead, there were tons of broken

or split cars, vans, and trucks all over the highway as it stretched down. There were

even some broken tires lying around.

Sometimes, you can see marks of dried up

blood on the floor too.

"Let's go!"

The red light of the sunset shone on this

quiet, rundown highway that has been

broken for dozens of years. The six

members of the fire hammer squad

continued to head forward.

[GROWL~~]

[WAIL~~]

Waves and waves of howling from the

monsters carried from the two fields and

ruined villages on the sides of the highway.

Even Han Sen could see quite a few

monsters. The other five members of the

fire hammer squad were relaxed, but Han Sen was completely tense..... because he

could feel the monsters everywhere.

"Hm, Han Sen, there's a horned boar

ahead. I'll leave it to you" captain Gao Feng's voice rang, "This will be your first

battle in the wilderness!"
