Chapter 5 Conflict of Goals

Zhang Shuo looked at the "clay man" in front of him, if it weren't for the "standard three-piece suit" with a hunter on him, it would also be difficult to see that he was a hunter.

Zhang Shuo arrived at the K191 Waste City 2 hours ago, but it was only 6 o'clock at that time, and there were still a few hours before the sun went down, so he was not in a hurry to enter the city, but drove a pickup truck around the toll station at the entrance to the south of the K191 Waste City for a few laps, and determined the approximate number of LV1 mutant beasts and infected people here before driving into the toll station.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that after entering the city, I met a "living person" here, and he was also a hunter. It stands to reason that there are a lot of abandoned cities around here, and there are a few LV1 sharphorned sheep infested wasteland, if you are a hunter who goes out hunting, you would rather choose the wasteland than the wasteland infested by infected people.

Then there is only one possibility-

The man in front of him is also here for the reward.

Zhang Shuo frowned, the last days are full of deceit, pretending to be pitiful and stealing food, and grabbing guns and killing people the next moment just begging for mercy, this situation is not uncommon. Even if they are also hunters, there are many people who raise butcher knives against each other because of conflicts of interest.

Therefore, Zhang Shuo already felt very awkward when this person reminded him to "be careful" just now, and now he was even more unguarded against himself, Zhang Shuo suddenly wondered in his heart if this person had a companion hiding nearby. But as an expert in dealing with mutant beasts, Zhang Shuo can tell if there are humans hiding nearby by the location and actions of the mutant beasts around him, unless it is like the "mud man" hiding in the stinky ditch in front of him, otherwise he may deceive the surrounding headdogs if he does not fight.

After inspecting the area, Zhang Shuo felt that this "clay man" should have no companions to hide nearby, so he asked him: "You are also a hunter?" ”

"Yes, I'm Tang Yiming, a member of the 'Hope Base' Hunting Regiment, what do you call your seniors?" Tang Yiming looked at Zhang Shuo with a little excitement. If the "unfathomable" senior in front of him is really a silver-level hunter, then he must have a lot of hunting equipment, maybe he can exchange some hunting equipment from him, then he and the master will have hope to escape from this ghost place with the target person!

Zhang Shuo was a little strange by him, but he could confirm that Tang Yiming was indeed a hunter. He had also heard of the Hope Base, which was a small base hundreds of kilometers away from Shine City. In Huaxia District, in addition to the six major cities, there are also many small cities and bases, and these places also gather a lot of humans, the only difference with the city is that there is no "high wall" protection, and it is more vulnerable to the attack of mutant beasts.

Zhang Shuo took the opportunity to answer Tang Yiming's question: "My name is Zhang Shuo. ”

"Senior! Hello hello hello! Did you just use a level 4 odor mask? It's made from the blood of LV Scalymon, right? Tang Yiming looked at Zhang Shuo hopefully.

Zhang Shuo nodded: "Yes." ”

"Do you have any more Level 4 odor masking agents? If I can, I'm willing to take something......" Tang Yiming originally wanted to say exchange, but according to the price of a bottle of Level 4 odor mask, he really didn't have that many generic coins on him. But also, with his status as a wilderness-level hunter, if he could afford to buy a level 4 scent mask, then he bought it before the mission, so why wait until the mission to exchange with other hunters.

"What do you exchange for?"

"This ......" Tang Yiming thought for a while and said, "I definitely don't have anything that my predecessors can see, but my master still has a lot of general coins and various potions there, if the seniors don't mind, you go back to the stronghold with me, what do you think?" ”

The "respect" shown by Tang Yiming can hardly make people suspect that he has bad motives, but Zhang Shuo is used to being cautious, if it is usual, he would not stand here and talk so much to Tang Yiming, but what he wants to find out now is whether Tang Yiming and the master in his mouth are in conflict with his own goals, if so...... That's to snatch someone from two peers!

"I'm here to take on a level 3 bounty mission, and I need to capture a lv3 mutant beast groundfoot dragon, I'm afraid I don't have much time to delay." Zhang Shuo thought about it, and according to the K191 mutant beast infestation information he saw before, he casually said the name of a lv3 mutant beast.

"Footdrops?" Tang Yiming recalled for a while, when he entered the city before, he did see the infestation of the ground foot dragon in the city center, so he said excitedly: "Senior, I know where there is a ground foot dragon!" ”

"Oh?"

"I've seen the Foot Dragon in the center of K191, and our stronghold is also on this route, you can go with me."

Zhang Shuo pretended to hesitate, glanced at Tang Yiming, and then nodded: "That's good." ”

Tang Yiming walked to a sewer manhole cover, pried the manhole cover open, pointed to the bottom and said, "Senior, if you go this way, you can avoid those infected people in the block." ”

Zhang Shuo jumped down the sewer after Tang Yiming, and asked as he walked, "Are you also here to hunt?" ”

Tang Yiming took a flashlight and shone it on the gloomy sewer: "No, Master and I took a bounty mission, which is to go to K191 to save someone." ”

Save?

Is it really a conflict with your own goals?

That's a bit tricky.

Zhang Shuo has already begun to think in his heart, how to snatch people from the hands of two "peers".

…………

…………

The middle-aged man sat on the ground with some tiredness leaning against the shelf, looking at the map projected on the hunter's glove, it had been almost 17 hours since the apprentice went out to explore the route out of the city. Judging from the map, the K191 abandoned city is just a small town of less than 30 square kilometers, and it won't take so much time to reconnoiter a few exits of the city. Could it be—

No!

The apprentice's ability is well known to his master, although he has finally won the title of a bronze-level hunter after 13 assessments in the past few years, but in terms of ability, this apprentice's ability has completely surpassed his master, even if he can't deal with those mutant beasts in the city, but there is no problem with self-preservation.

The middle-aged man clenched his fists hatefully. The apprentice has followed him for five years, and he has completed more than a dozen tasks, large and small, and he has survived more dangerous situations than this, how can he fold here! I must have found a way out, and I'm on my way back now!

Luo Fei comforted himself like this in his heart.

Luo Fei reached into his plastered trouser pocket, and laboriously pulled out a crumpled pack of cigarettes and lit them. As far as a Bronze-level hunter is concerned, he is indeed a bit miserable, and this cigarette is already considered a luxury for him. The reward for completing the task in the last few years is almost more than 50,000 universal coins, plus he is used to saving money, if he finds a small city or base, it is enough to live the rest of his life.

But I still have to think about my apprentice, if I can complete this task and add 30,000 general coins, I'm afraid I can buy a level 2 strengthening potion for my apprentice...... At that time, he could be regarded as a real hunter. After all, a hunter who has not been strengthened will always be only a wilderness level, and it is impossible to break through again.

Luo Fei tilted his head and glanced at the woman opposite who was resting with her eyes closed against the shelf, and Luo Fei felt a sense of confusion in his heart. She is the "target person" this time, a woman worth 30,000 universal coins.

30,000 universal coins!

Judging from the current market price of 100-300 general-purpose coins for LV1 mutant beasts and 500-8000 for LV2 mutant beasts, it is possible to make up 30,000 general-purpose coins to capture hundreds of high-grade LV1 mutant beasts and dozens of LV2 mutant beasts!

Of course, if it is a super mutant beast that has evolved again in lv2, one is worth tens of thousands of universal coins, so that's another matter!

However, it is not easy to capture a lv2 transcendent mutant beast, at least for Luo Fei, a bronze-level hunter who has only injected 2 level 1 enhancement potions, there is definitely no hope. Of course, there is another way, which is to spend general coins to buy a large number of hunting tools, and rely on all kinds of hunting tools to hunt mutant beasts at different levels, but although the profits of this are very high, they are also facing great dangers!

Alas.

Why is it that he can't withstand the temptation of others, so he runs to take a B-level bounty task?

I originally thought that I wanted to save a target person from the K191 abandoned city outside the hope base, even if it was a B-level bounty mission, but it was not a capture task, and it would not take the initiative to provoke the mutant beasts, even if it couldn't be completed, it would be able to get out of the way, how do you know that you will encounter an accident and be trapped in the K191 abandoned city......

It's really hurting others and hurting yourself!

Luo Fei took a hard puff of the lit cigarette, letting the thick smoke linger in his lungs for a long time, until his face turned purple and red due to lack of oxygen, and he reluctantly slowly spewed out the smoke carrying nicotine, completely enveloping his whole person in it.

Fortunately, this woman is not quite the same as those women in the base who only know how to exchange their bodies for food, no matter how difficult the conditions are, she has never complained, obeyed Luo Fei's command, and also put forward quite constructive suggestions on dealing with and avoiding mutant beasts, otherwise she has been trapped in the abandoned city of K191 for so long, relying on the supplies of him and his apprentices, and she may not be able to live for so long.

Luo Fei took the last puff of cigarette and pressed the cigarette butt the ground.

"Knock knock—"

"Knock-"

"Knock knock—"

Suddenly, there was a rhythmic knock on the side door of the factory.

"The apprentice is back!"

Luo Fei turned over and jumped up from the ground, hurriedly rushed to the iron gate, and looked at the person knocking on the door outside with the cat's eye dug out from the side: "It's Xiao Tang!" ”

Luo Fei was overjoyed, and hurriedly opened the door to let Tang Yiming in: "Come in!" ”

"Master!"

"Don Jr.! It's okay! It's okay! Quick, come in! Luo Fei saw that there was a person wearing a gas mask behind Tang Yiming and wearing a rather strange outfit, thinking that it should be the survivor Tang Yiming found, and let him in.

Zhang Shuo followed Tang Yiming into the factory, and at a glance he saw the woman resting on the shelf not far away, with the same face as the one on the wanted warrant......

I sighed in my heart, is it really a conflict of goals......
