Chapter 40: The Hunt No. 1
There aren't too many people in the wasteland, and even fewer of them are evolutionaries.
Therefore, when a mysterious powerhouse who killed the iron-winged bird in one blow appeared, it immediately aroused the common attention of the three forces.
No one dared to ignore an evolutionary who could enter the top 10 of the hunting list, and "Floating Doomsday" did not, as did the other two companies.
……
South of the western mountains, in a snow-capped mountain, this is the front line of the Burning Company.
At this moment, a battle has just ended, and the smell of gunpowder still lingers in the air.
A group of mutant beasts had just been swept away by the company's army, and soldiers in dark cyan cotton clothes were cleaning the battlefield.
In front of the battlefield, the top management of the Burning Fire Company gathered here, led by a man with a pale face and a feminine expression, looking at the distant mountains with a telescope inherited from the old era.
In the shot, shattered mountain peaks loom in the background.
"Give the order to go down, rest in place for fifteen minutes, and then continue to move forward," the man said in a hoarse voice, putting down the barrel, "Our progress is already slower than that of Ash Mountain, and we must catch up." ”
"Yes!"
The head of the corps below left in response, and in an instant, everyone saw a herald rushing towards him:
"The latest news, an unknown A-class evolutionary has arrived in the Great Western Continent!"
"What?" Several directors of the Burning Fire Company are all stunned, the Evolutionary Danger Level, which is a set of criteria set by the Floating Doomsday.
Presumably, according to the evolutionary's combat record, the "danger level" is marked by different grades.
Reaching out and snatching the freshly baked information in his hand, he looked down carefully, and the face of the CEO of the Burning Fire Company kept changing.
There are few details on the intelligence.
It is only mentioned that the three hunters witnessed the mysterious powerhouse kill an ironwing bird in one hit, and appear to have some kind of ranged attack ability.
"Stay tuned! Find a way to figure out what he's doing! The man said decisively.
An A-level powerhouse, although not a threat to the company, is also worth paying attention to, at least, non-essential situations, to avoid conflicts as much as possible.
If you have the opportunity, you can also try to woo in.
……
"Grade A?"
In the northern part of the mountain range, in an old ruin, the evolutionaries of the Grey Mountain Group are busy moving the unbroken weapons that have been sealed in the ruins.
Brand new large-caliber mortars were brought out and placed on converted snow transporters.
The chairman of the board of directors of the Gray Mountain Group was a tall middle-aged man with gray hair, and at this moment he slowly looked away from the intelligence and said to a director on the side:
"What do you think?"
"The intelligence should be real, and it should be carefully observed, an A-level will not affect the situation, but it must also prevent it from being co-opted by the fire company.
Well, the floating doomsday side must have sent someone to keep an eye on it, they can't turn a blind eye, let's just wait for the news for the time being. ”
"So be it."
The middle-aged man nodded, then looked at the increasingly gloomy sky, and commanded loudly:
"The weather has changed, camp in place!"
Soon after the words fell, a cold snap swept over the hills, and a blizzard suddenly came!
……
……
"Woo ......"
This blizzard came very suddenly, Rao is Lin Tuo had noticed it early through the "full map vision", and transferred it, but he was still scratched by the tail of the wind and snow.
In a leeward col, Lin Tuo and Huaxi sat together, silently finished their warm lunch, and threw the lunch box on the ground.
"The wind and snow are light, let's continue." Lin Tuo pulled on the windproof mask and got up and said.
"Oh." Huaxi also hurriedly picked up the rifle.
At this moment, they had penetrated deep into the mountains and began to sweep according to the red areas marked on the "intelligence", that is, some of the more dangerous areas of predators.
Because of this, I never met too many people around, and occasionally saw the rest of the hunters from a distance, and they didn't communicate with each other.
"I always feel like someone is watching us."
When the two of them walked out of the leeward place and walked on the slope of the mountain where the wind and snow were fading again, Huaxi suddenly frowned, looked around, and said.
Lin Tuo didn't look back, just said lightly:
"You're right, someone is following us, but it's far away."
After a pause, he added, "It's the one who floats to the end." ”
By switching his consciousness back to the main body, he could easily overlook the entire Western Continent, which was equivalent to opening up the "full map vision", so he had already discovered it earlier.
"Is that them?" Huaxi didn't doubt Lin Tuo's statement, and pondered, "Then what should we do?" Do you want to warn them? ”
"There's no need."
Lin Tuo's answer was as usual, he looked ahead, stared at a strange python hiding in the snow, his body trembled, and he entered a fighting state, "You just help me keep an eye on it." ”
……
"They seem to have spotted us."
In the distance, on the edge of a jungle, several hunters sent by the Floating Doomsday Headquarters are hiding.
Everyone is equipped with a telescope.
At this moment, one person turned around and looked at the "short figure" here when he looked at the camera, and said.
As soon as the words fell, the rest of the people gasped:
"The big snow python was killed...... So fast? ”
Several people looked at each other, and one of them smiled wryly and pointed to the notebook in his hand.
Above is the "battle record" of Lin Tuo that they observed and recorded, indicating the species that were killed and the corresponding points.
"How long has it been? I'm going to fill this page, and the ones he hunts are all dangerous beasts, ordinary mutant beasts don't even look at them, and they don't pick them up when they kill them, what do they want to do? ”
"I don't care what he thinks, I'm just thinking about what the bosses of the headquarters will look like when this record is sent back......
Another person looked strange: "I'm afraid, his rating will also be adjusted." ”
After a brief conversation, one of them got up and sent the battle back to the headquarters, while the rest continued to follow.
……
……
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, the sun was setting in the west, and the sky was getting darker and darker.
During the night, the danger in the wild increases exponentially, and many hunters return before dark.
The "Hunter's House" bar is crowded and very lively.
It's just that tonight, the atmosphere here has become very weird.
Beside the fire, the returning evolutionaries bought the latest "information", and after reading it, everyone's expressions changed significantly:
"Shhh...... Where did this fierce man come from? S-rated rating? How many years has it been since there has been a strong man with such a rating? ”
"Is it them? I happened to meet them during the day, one big and one small, two people, the tall one dressed in a weird way, and the little one had a rifle on his back...... "Someone said.
“…… I also encountered it, and I almost attacked them at the time...... "There are still people who are afraid.
S-class evolutionaries!
You know, if you can find a lot of A-level in the wasteland, then there are very few S-rank, even if you put it in the three major forces, it is enough to easily be a high-level with only combat power.
“…… I've heard that it's more than that, but the highest of the floating apocalypse is only S-class...... So ......"
"Didn't you notice? Look at the hunt list! This mystery man has climbed to second place, 851 points! Catch up with the lone wolf in no time! It only took him half a day! ”
After being reminded, many people set their sights on the "hunting list".
This list is updated with each issue of intelligence.
At this moment, although the "lone wolf" is still in the first place with the accumulation of time, it is already crumbling.
The second place is occupied by a scarlet "question mark".
"At this rate, I'm afraid that tomorrow at noon, the lone wolf will be squeezed into second place." Someone said with a complicated expression.
At the same time, out of the corner of his eye, he looked at a hunter in leather armor who was drinking alone.
In the strange atmosphere, the figure put down the wine glass, picked up the weapon, and silently pushed open the wooden door without saying a word.
In the expressions of some people who wanted to speak and stopped, they resolutely stepped into the dark snowy night.
"Smack."
A piece of wind and snow blew into the room and fell into the fire, making a slight crunch.
The air in the room was getting murky.
……
That night, the hunters stayed here, and the next morning, when the sky and the earth were bright, and the wind and snow had subsided.
They got up from the ground and corners, moved their bodies, took up their weapons, and prepared to enter the mountains.
It was at this time that the door of the "Hunter's House" was suddenly pushed open.
An evolutionary who was in charge of delivering information looked indifferent, glanced at everyone, and then said to the "receptionist":
"What's new, the lone wolf is dead."
……
The wilderness hunters were misjudged after all.
In fact, before noon, the strongest hunter died and disappeared from the list because he fought a beast in a dangerous area.
Some people say that the lone wolf was on his way to find the mysterious man when he was attacked and killed by a fierce beast.
Some people also say that it was he who hunted high-level mutant beasts overnight and died of exhaustion.
No one can say clearly.
The name was also quickly forgotten.
In short, in the early morning, before Lin Tuo's second "battle record" arrived here, he became the name at the top of the hunting list.
Lin Tuo didn't know anything about this, and if he knew, he probably wouldn't care.
The only thing he knew about it was......
"Why are all three people gathering here for me?"
Deep in the mountains, somewhere.
With the help of his leisure time, Lin Tuo switched his consciousness back to the main body, and unexpectedly discovered:
The "Burning Company" in the south, the "Gray Mountain Group" in the north, and the scattered few wilderness hunters in the central part all sent their teams with great tacit understanding, changed the direction of travel, and hurried towards his position.
The momentum is menacing, faint, and it takes on the appearance of an encirclement.
Lin Tuo naturally didn't know that it was his own strength that had caused great fear among the three forces, and had successfully broken the balanced power pattern here.
The originally agreed three families divided the land and competed with each other.
As a result, a powerful and unfamiliar predator suddenly broke in, which naturally triggered the "common hatred" of the three major forces.
Without much communication, the three forces tacitly attacked at the same time and tried to besiege Lin Tuo.
The intention is to erase this unexpected variable.
No one wants to have more individuals competing for the secret seal.
"Notice me? Because you're worried that I'll grab something from them, you're temporarily teaming up to strangle me? ”
Although he didn't know the specific situation, Lin Tuo could probably guess the other party's thoughts.
"What are they going to do? You can't beat that many people, they have too many guns. ”
Huaxi's little face was pale and bloodless, at this moment, she had already seen the enemy from the left and right and behind her, and there was a fierce beast in front of her.
It's a perfect encirclement.
No matter how strong Lin Tuo is, he is still a human being after all, and it is impossible to get out under thousands of guns, and she is afraid that she will die here.
"What are you afraid of, if you can't beat it, you can hide." Lin Tuo said in a flat tone.
"Hide? How to hide? Huaxi's eyes widened.
"Well...... In this way, come here, hold me, and don't let go, or I won't have time to catch you when I fall. Lin Tuo thought about it and suddenly said.
Huaxi looked dazed, didn't understand at all, but was pulled over by Lin Tuo in a daze, buried his head in his chest, and wrapped his hands around Lin Tuo's waist.
"Hold on, I'll fly you."
Ensuring that it was firm, Lin Tuo looked at the mountains on both sides with a smile in his eyes, and the dense army that poured out, whispered softly.
At the same time, his eyes dimmed, and he withdrew his consciousness and returned to his original body.
"Switch!"
……
Leaving the mountain martial arts hall, in the study.
Lin Tuo leaned over and stood beside the sand table, squinted his eyes, put his hand into the sand table, landed in the mountains, and controlled the clone to jump into the palm of his hand with Huaxi.
"Under normal circumstances, I can't escape, but I can fly." Muttering in his heart, Lin Tuo blew towards the mountains and quickly raised his hand.
……
Daxizhou, the top of the mountains.
When the people of the "Ignition Company", "Gray Mountain Group" and "Floating Doomsday" finally locked on the two figures in the encirclement, one large and one small, their faces did not show joy, and they saw a shocking scene.
I saw that a blizzard suddenly descended for no reason, obscuring their vision.
In the wind and snow, someone vaguely noticed that two black dots flashed by.
After a few breaths, the wind and snow stopped.
On the white earth, where else is Lin Tuo's figure?
The mountains are quiet.
After a few breaths, someone finally came to his senses:
"Target...... Target...... Gone!! ”
