Behind Lorne stood three men.

The tallest is the blonde young man who survived the tavern, his name is Morric. His father was a hunter who was killed in an operation. After the tsunami, Guler sacrificed himself to save him, making Morrick determined to inject the serum and become a hunter.

His basic ability is Swift, and his level 1 ability activates Shadow Step, making him an out-and-out mobile hunter. However, because of his thin body, it was difficult to handle heavy weapons, so Morrick carried a short-handled dagger for self-defense, and was usually responsible for reconnaissance and reporting.

Standing in the middle is a petite young girl named Fei'er. He has short flaxen hair and always hangs his head. She appeared to be no more than seventeen years old, often with a blank face, and rarely spoke.

Lorne even thought she was mute at first, until the day before yesterday, when Morrick wanted to get close to Phil, and she ruthlessly dumped her "go away", then he knew that she just didn't like to talk.

And the ability she activates can be described as stunning. After the first injection of serum, Phil was extremely powerful, and after the third injection, a layer of hardened keratin formed on the surface of her body. Brute force and steel skin turn this girl into a warrior who does not match her appearance at all.

Finally, there is a watermelon-headed boy, seventeen or eighteen, wearing retro round-rimmed glasses, looking like a knowledgeable genius, but in fact it is not. He doesn't know what his name is, but the people in the town call him Mumu because he really looks like a nerd.

But he was neither a genius nor a nerd. Wood has an inexplicable craze for firearms and even made his own long-range shotgun. After injecting the serum, he activated his basic brute force, and level 1 gained Hawkeye, for which he was so excited that he didn't sleep well for a few days.

So those round-framed glasses are actually used to hide dark circles under the eyes.

Jugshia looked at the four members of Lorne's team, unsure of what to do.

If the large army goes on the road first, it can indeed shorten the time to reach Qiyan City and save supplies, but if Lorne's team makes any mistakes, even if they see the signal flare calling for help, they will not be able to support in time.

But if you wait on the high ground, the time it takes for Haixin to sneak in is unknown, and when the march stops, it will consume resources, which is really embarrassing.

"Eughya, trust us. Lorne looked at the three companions behind him, "I'll keep them safe." ”

"Hey, Lorne, it's supposed to be mutual security. The blonde Morrick grinned and gave a thumbs up, "We're companions." ”

Lorne nodded. Although this young man is sometimes more stupid than Mu Mu, he is also the pistachio of the team.

"In that case, please. Yugshia finally decided, "But Lorne, I want him to join the operation as well." ”

Rod, who had been paying attention to the conversation under the canopy, was stunned for a moment when he saw Yugxia's gaze, and stepped forward.

"Your Highness......" Rhodes' expression was complicated, "will you let me go with him?"

Lorne didn't understand the princess's intentions, and Rhodes looked at each other with suppressed hostility. Yughya said, "One more person, one more security." Rhodes is an ice mage and will definitely be able to help in many places. ”

Both of them were reluctant, but since Yugshia said it, it was not good to refuse in person. Lorne secretly grinded his back molars and didn't speak. Rhodes was also arrogant, and his head was tilted to one side.

"If there is no opinion, then the five of you will set off together and rush back as soon as you get the supplies. Yugosia looked at the two of them.

After a moment of stalemate, Rhodes let out a sullen breath and turned his head. Although he was arrogant, he also had the generosity of a knight, and since it was the prince's decision, he had no choice but to obey.

"Don't bother me on the road. Rod said.

This sentence will be returned to you as it is. Lorne stared at him.

Seeing the smell of gunpowder between the two again, Morrick put his arm on Lorne's shoulder and smiled at Rod: "Knight Rod, please take care of it." ”

Mu Mu pushed his glasses on the side, pursed his lips, and seemed to be holding back a smile. The simmering situation was calmed by Morrick's small gesture, and Yugshia said, "Then without further ado, you can go now." Once you arrive in Haixin, it's best to wait until dawn to act. ”

"Understood. ”

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

By the canopy, Erin was as quiet as a kitten, curled up beside a dead tree. Lorne walked over, leaned down, and looked at her. Erin Nunu mouth, Lorne also Nunu mouth.

"Where are you going?" asked Erin in a whisper.

"Take a trip to Haixin Town and bring some supplies back. "Soon to be back." ”

"Are you going to go by yourself?"

"Go with the squad, and Rod. ”

Unbeknownst to Erin, Lorne and Rhodes were on the verge of killing each other that night in the square. But she also felt Rod's indifference these days, and whispered, "Did you quarrel with Rod?"

"No, don't worry. Lorne stroked her cheek, the cold, sunken touch that made his heart sink in his heart, "Is it cold?"

Erin shook her head and sniffed.

Lorne gently hugged her in his arms, ** her back. Erin rested her chin on his shoulder and whispered, "Are you really going?"

"We don't have a lot of supplies, they are depleting too quickly, and I have to go. Lorne said, "You and Yugothya go to Strange Rock City first, and we'll be back soon." ”

"But I want to go with you. ”

"It's too dangerous. ”

Erin was silent, and after a while said, "If only I were a hunter and could help, you'd take me there, wouldn't you?"

Lorne froze. He had hardly thought about such a thing, and he did not want that day to come. Although the monster serum can bring power, there is a risk after all, and over-injecting the serum or overusing the power can be bewitched by the past.

Those who are willing to be hunters are brave people. They take risks, use their power against monsters, and protect people. But that doesn't mean it's cowardly to be unwilling to be a hunter.

"What a stupid thing to say. Lorne whispered in her ear, "As long as I'm by your side, I will never let you become a hunter." You should be a doctor. ”

Morrick beckoned behind him, "Lorne, it's time to go." ”

Lorne hugged Erin, but reluctantly got up. Erin looked at him with a twinkle in her eyes: "Then you have to promise me that you must come back well." Can't be injured. ”

"Promise you. ”

"Go ahead. ”

The five of them were ready to set off in a large carriage and drove down the heights towards the town under the Rain Plain.

Yugxia's eyes widened suddenly, and a chill spread throughout her body. She wanted Lorne's team back, but it was too late.

Distant bells rang from the church, and the lights of the town went out.
