Chapter 5: Introspection Under the Clouds

Death is a normal phenomenon for a world, for the creatures living in this world, after all, everything has an end.

If you want to live a wonderful life in such a limited time, you have to work twice as hard as others, which is one of the reasons to live.

It's just that it's not just time that makes people usher in the end, but also the misfortunes and ...... that exist everywhere Monster.

On a humid night when the moon was dark and the wind was high, the corpse in front of Gu Wu's eyes was destroyed in a very exaggerated way, most likely he was caught while fleeing.

His limbs were completely devoid of their original shape, and his viscera were wrapped together like a salad, and from the debris around him, there was no combat equipment to be seen, and it was certain that he had escaped after surrendering and robbing him of his equipment.

The question is, why are the monsters who are chasing him so brutal? What kind of existence does it have? What is the reason for the action?

Gu Wu currently doesn't know what the survival rate of the soldiers is, but if those monsters are like the rumors, they can kill people and eat people, and most of the soldiers who are caught are more likely to be more than lucky.

Thanks to this, Gu Wu did not have time to mourn the victim in front of him, he cheered up and walked along the side of the road where countless damp particles were floating, reducing the chance of being found as much as possible.

"It's almost ten o'clock in the evening...... The room that was originally lit up in the video is also dark, so let's split up. ”

Halfway through, Gu Wu put forward his own ideas.

"It's said that it is a separate operation, but in fact it is just a simple division of labor and cooperation, but this can increase the chances of rescuing those captured soldiers."

"Wouldn't it be better to let the soldiers who came with you join us from the beginning? In this way, the scope of the search can also be expanded. ”

"How threatening do Miss Altai think those monsters are?"

"Beyond the strength and speed of humans, all you need to do is let the soldiers be in charge of searching."

"I understand this, but if the enemy has a strong strength, the soldiers will only increase our workload, after all, I can't do this kind of behavior if they don't save them......"

This is the case, Gu Wu does not intend to be a hero to anyone, but he thinks that he has a responsibility that cannot be abandoned, and this is the reason for his actions.

One person has the power to save others by the way, and I believe that many people will not turn a blind eye.

"I'm going to have them on standby around the village now, at least to increase the chances of preventing those monsters from escaping, but it's all based on the fact that the monsters haven't left here."

Gu Wu didn't know how long ago the corpse just now appeared.

An hour? Two hours? Or is it some other time?

Know that those monsters have non-human powers, and after enough nutrients, they may also leave here and head to the next village or city.

Demons don't stay in one place, just as a spreading war destroys a nation.

"Right in front of you is the house that appeared in the video, although there was no one at the time of the initial inspection, but now it is not necessarily; So Tina and I were in charge of searching the house, and Altaïr and Loise were in charge of the house in the rear, all for our own safety. ”

"I don't want to, I want to be in a group with the master!"

Louise emphasized, but Gu Wu blocked most of her voice with her hand in the middle of speaking.

"Listen up Louise, this is no joke, and now you have a task to complete."

After Gu Wu finished speaking, Altai also made a certain degree of addition

"Completing tasks and showing your strength, isn't that what you're looking forward to the most? Training is far less valuable than fighting real-life enemies, right? ”

"You're right...... Then the master must remember that if you have any questions, you must call me! ”

Luise's concern for Gu Wu is not false, although this little girl from another world may have done bad things before, at least now she has abandoned a lot of the anger that has accumulated.

At this time, Tina, who pulled out a pistol equipped with a silencer, grabbed the hem of Gu Wu's clothes with her other hand.

"I will protect Gu Wu."

"You're really popular, especially for children."

Tina's speech made Altaïr ridicule, but Gu Wu didn't care, because he didn't have the idea of only inviting Lori and young girls to his home, such as Kasumigaoka and Yingli Li, they were the most royal types.

Of course, Altaïr is not bad in this regard, but her personality is different from that of ordinary heroines.

Without wasting time on inconsequential matters, Gu Wu and the others started the second phase of the operation after making a decision.

Gu Wu and Tina went to the house on the right, while Altaïr and Luise continued to search the villa on the left side of the road.

"Do you want to kill people when you see them?"

Before entering the house, Tina, armed with a firearm, asks questions.

"It's better not to kill those people, just shoot them in the legs and arms, but only if they are not threatened, and ignore the restraints if they are dangerous."

"At this distance, I can hit every shot, even in the dark."

"I'm not going to release water here."

Altaïr's 'Senluo Vientiane' was very powerful, and Gu Wu didn't think those monsters could pose much of a threat.

This is a little different from inflation, after all, Gu Wu is just expounding the facts.

Since the door was in a state of wide open, Gu Wu walked in first, and Tina, who was in charge of covering, followed slowly in the rear.

Originally, the damp air outside the house mixed with the smell of earth, but once inside, another smell invaded the whole space.

A smell of blood wafted from the right side, Gu Wu and Tina glanced at each other, and walked straight over.

Passing through the small front foyer, the space on the right looks like a dedicated kitchen area, with a central table littered with cutlery and half-finished flour.

Gu Wu, who was observing this space, did not let his guard down, and as he continued to move forward, he saw the source of the taste.

The corpse of another soldier was a little more complete than the previous one, but the large open chest could see the marks of being brutally torn.

"Hmm......"

"Gu Wu, go to the second floor."

Dragging Gu Wu, who looked a little disgusted, Tina walked towards the second floor without changing her face.

Gu Wu was a little resistant when he saw those corpse fragments before, after all, he was originally just an ordinary person, even if he improved his courage a lot under the training of the system, he couldn't immediately accept these terrifying things.

Living humans were killed, corpses were destroyed, and not only torn, but gnawed, with wounds on the chest, neck, and face.

Monsters are monsters, like hungry beasts.

"There's nothing up there...... Is Gu Wu okay? ”

"Don't worry."

Gu Wu took a long breath, and he regained his calm expression before.

"Let's continue the investigation."

————

Gu Wu, who left the house, felt the fresh air outside the house, and the whole person relaxed a lot.

Truth be told, this village in the middle of the mountains has only recently started to build roads, and the houses built here and there have been abstained from equipment, and it looks like a good place to live, but no one expected such an incident to happen.

[Master, the survivor has been discovered! 】

Louise's voice came from inside the headphones, and the moment she and Altaïr were acting together had a major gain.

"Where?"

[At the back of the villa where you asked us to investigate, we found an entrance to the basement, and finally found an uncle. 】

"Get over right away."

Tina's side also heard Luise's information, so the two of them ran and rushed towards the location of the villa.

There are still traces of the aftermath of the battle near the villa, and there is bright red blood in some of the puddles, which has not been diluted by the previous rain.

However, strangely enough, there were no corpses nearby, and Gu Wu, who was puzzled, quickly arrived at his destination, which was the basement in the backyard of the villa.

The basement has lighting lights, but you can't see them until you get underneath.

A dim light illuminates the space, and a pungent smell wafts in.

"Master! You're coming! ”

"Where are the survivors?"

"It's over there."

Gu Wu walked deeper and found the surviving soldiers in what was like a compartment.

Altair was standing beside him, presumably having treated him just now.

It's just that the surviving soldier had severe wounds on his arms and legs, and his recovery was very slow, and in addition to that, his left eye was pierced, and the blood stains almost stained half of his cheeks red, and he suffered a lot.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine now."

"I ...... Those...... Monster ......"

"Let the others come over now."

Gu Wu comforted the surviving soldiers who had difficulty speaking in front of him, and he did not give him all kinds of information.

After that, Gu Wu explored the depths of the basement again, and at this time, Altaïr looked at the room in front of him that was isolated by a broken glass door, and reminded Gu Wu

"I just went inside and all the people there have been killed."

"That's right...... Are there any people among them who should be villagers? ”

"Regarding this issue, I got the relevant information after I rescued the soldier just now, most of the villagers fled, and the rest were devoured by the monsters as bait."

"Cannibalistic monsters...... Do you know the quantity? ”

Regarding Gu Wu's question, Altaïr shook her head in denial, and the information she received was limited.

"In that case, it's impossible for the monsters to stay in this village."

Gu Wu, who analyzed it in this way, thought that the monsters would definitely move towards other areas when they were discovered to be hiding.

This also means that the monsters will arrive in the nearest city.

A few minutes later, the rescue soldiers on standby arrived at the scene, and the captain in charge of the team had most of the team members on guard, and he himself entered the basement with three medics.

"Speed up and do emergency treatment!"

"I've already done the emergency treatment, so let's take it to the car first."

"Done it? Okay, okay...... Then Mr. Gu Wu, the others ......"

Gu Wu glanced at the room behind him, and the captain, who understood something, entered the room, and then walked out with a serious face.

"You have to destroy those monsters."

The captain with his fist clenched looked extremely angry, and he could not reverse what happened to his companions, and he only made a promise to the future.

————

Gu Wu and the others, who did not immediately rush to the neighboring city, returned to their original place of residence with the troops, waiting for the only survivor to give relevant information after that.

On the way, the captain of the soldiers told Gu Wu that it usually takes five hours to advance to the nearest city, and it will be much faster if it is not by car but by plane, so it can be speculated that the next incident may occur after five hours.

By the time Gu Wu arrived at the room, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, close to twelve o'clock, and he was slightly tired when he recalled his previous actions, feeling that he hadn't received much information.

"Master! Tina and I went to the shower! Want to be together? ”

"No kidding, speed up and go to bed after taking a shower."

"Okay!"

Loise ran away, and Tina also nodded to Gu Wu and followed behind the former.

"I'll talk about it tomorrow, I'll go and see the moment."

"Yes."

Altair, who also did not stay put, had something to do.

Tomorrow...... Tomorrow I'm going to go to a neighboring city, but the question is how to catch those monsters?

If the monsters are to be deliberately hidden, it will be difficult to find them.

"Mr. Gu Wu, do you need coffee?"

"Richardson? Why are you still here? Didn't go back to spend time with your granddaughter? ”

"Because I thought that Mr. Gu Wu would come back very late, I waited for a while; Regarding this incident, do you need to notify the person in charge of the neighboring city in advance? ”

"Well, I'll leave it to you, the coffee will be free, and I'm going to take a break."

"Okay."

After finishing speaking, Gu Wu finished washing up as quickly as possible, and he woke up after resting until six o'clock the next morning.

"Trouble won't be solved by itself......"

There were a lot of things to solve, and Gu Wu didn't plan to let those monsters do whatever they wanted.

Gu Wu, who neatly completed the preparations and changed into clothes that were convenient for activities, was accosted by the system at this time.

[Responding to the host, such a host is just like the original appearance of the previous host, full of confidence and enthusiasm.] 】

"Is that so? I'm not going to be the 'last host' as you call it, whether it's faith or blood, there is only the difference between what is important and what is not important to me. ”

[In response to the host, sometimes human beings are made up of other people, and I believe that all of them have a subtle effect on the host, no matter what the factors are, this kind of effect is a good thing in the eyes of this system.] 】

"Who knows."

Gu Wu reflected on what he had done, but he didn't feel how great what he had done.

"I want to live easily more than to be thanked, so I have to work hard for that moment."

The so-called diligence is the predecessor of laziness for Gu Wu.
