Chapter 16: The Gnoll Tribe
In the hospital, Chu Wen was chatting with the clinical Wang Tao and having lunch, when the phone rang.
Chu Wen picked up his mobile phone, it was Lei Tiansheng!
Chu Wen had said to Lei Tiansheng long ago that if he needed his help, he should contact him at any time, on the one hand, to help Lei Tiansheng, and on the other hand, he might also be able to get tempering and some benefits from it, such as those spirit crystals.
What's going on again?
Chu Wen frowned and connected the phone.
"Hey, Chu Wen, can you do me a favor?" Lei Tiansheng's voice came, revealing some exhaustion.
"Well, you say. ”
"Alas, the frequency of subspace fusion has accelerated significantly recently, and I won't tell you, it is already difficult for the military to control the situation, and it happened again in the suburbs of D City in the early hours of this morning, and it was the brother of the second company who went to deal with it, but it was a little troublesome, and it has not been solved yet, it is not far from your city, I want you to take a look, you know more, see if you can help anything." ”
"Okay, I'll go right away, you can tell me the details on the way" Chu Wen agreed, hung up the phone, pulled out the infusion tube that was still inserted in his arm, got dressed and prepared to go.
Seeing this, Wang Tao hurriedly got up from the bed and shouted, "Wait for me, I'll go too!"
Chu Wen glanced at him, he also hoped that Wang Tao could practice more as soon as possible, but Wang Tao's injury was not completely healed, and his physique was not as good as Chu Wen after all.
"You can recuperate in peace, and then we'll talk about it when you're completely healed. ”
Wang Tao touched his chest, which was still painful, a little unwilling, "Okay, be careful yourself." ”
Ignoring the dissuasion of the doctors and nurses, Chu Wen went straight out of the hospital, took a taxi, and rushed to the train station, where the next train arrived quickly.
More than an hour later, Chu Wen was already sitting on the military car that came to pick him up at the station, and there were only two soldiers who came, and what surprised Chu Wen was that he actually felt some fluctuations in the aura of these two soldiers.
After some inquiry, Chu Wen probably learned some information: First of all, in the past month or so, more than half of the soldiers who had been stationed in the subspace fusion area for a long time to deal with monsters had slowly felt the existence of aura, although there was no exercise to absorb aura, but under the subtle effect of aura, their physique had been greatly strengthened, and according to the two soldiers, some of them even got some special abilities.
And this subspace fusion incident occurred in a small village on the outskirts of D City, a group of monsters that resembled werewolves occupied that village, killing many people, after the army arrived, those werewolves actually took the remaining dozens of people as hostages! Because of the existence of the hostages, the military acted tirelessly, and there was no progress for a long time.
Chu Wen rubbed his forehead, a little headache, those monsters that look like werewolves should be jackals, a kind of half-beast and half-human monsters, it is said that they have mastered some of the methods of the ancient witch clan, so they claim to be descendants of the witch clan, the overall strength of this monster is not strong, but the IQ is much higher than that of monsters of the same level, insidious and cunning, and usually the tribe lives in groups, so it is very difficult.
Half an hour later, the military vehicle stopped at a temporary sentry, and the soldiers on duty led Chu Wen to a nearby room and told him to wait.
A few minutes later, a tall and sturdy middle-aged man in his thirties walked in, looking at his epaulettes, it should be the company commander of the second company, he frowned and looked at Chu Wen: "You are Chu Wen, are you still a student?"
"Yes, I'm Chu Wen" The other party's tone made Chu Wen feel uncomfortable, so he didn't bother to say anything.
The middle-aged soldier's brows furrowed even tighter, but he still nodded and said, "My name is Zhao Jun, and the current situation is that there are more than sixty monsters occupying that village."
Zhao Jun raised his hand and pointed to the small village not far away, and said: "According to the information given above, those monsters are called jackals, they have a certain amount of wisdom, and they have strong teamwork skills, there are more than forty hostages, and they are trapped in three rooms, because the hostages and jackals are mixed together, they can't be hit with long-range artillery fire, and we have also tried sniping, but they can only hurt ordinary jackals, and they have little effect, but they will provoke them to hurt the hostages...... Lei Tiansheng admires you very much, so I want to hear your opinion?"
Zhao Jun looked at Chu Wen with a hint of doubt and provocation, he wanted to see what this young man who looked like a student could do.
Chu Wen felt a little inexplicable, I didn't come to grab credit from you, why are you provoking me?
"What else can I do?" it's very simple, lurk in and kill them all before those gnolls have time to hurt the hostages?" Chu Wen raised his eyebrows and said lightly.
Zhao Jun was stunned: "How is this possible? No one can do it!"
Seeing Zhao Jun's expression, Chu Wen felt inexplicably comfortable, and he continued: "No, I want to try. ”
"No! This is impossible, you are going to die!" Zhao Jun said that he would not agree to Chu Wen to take the risk.
This made Chu Wen's opinion of him change a little, although Zhao Jun's competitive spirit was a little stronger, at least his heart was still good.
Chu Wen thought about it again and explained seriously: "If your entire company storms it with guns and cannons, those gnolls know that they can't resist it, and they will definitely threaten hostages, but if there are few people who go in, those gnolls will think that they can easily solve it, then their weapons will be aimed at the intruders, not hostages, and it just so happens that those who infiltrate have the ability to deal with the gnolls, then the problem will not be easy to solve?"
Zhao Jun touched his chin and thought about it, and smiled: "It seems that there is a little truth, I'll go with you! I am from a special forces, and it is not a big problem to deal with two or three gnolls." ”
Chu Wen rolled his eyes, after half a month of cultivation, he had reached the middle stage of the first order, and his physique had been greatly improved, he really didn't pay much attention to special forces like Zhao Jun, even if his physique was also affected by the aura and improved a little, but looking at Zhao Jun's eyes, it seemed that he couldn't refuse.
Without further ado, Chu Wen and Zhao Jun prepared their weapons, surveyed around the village, and chose a corner guarded by only two gnolls, deciding to use this as a breakthrough.
After the subspace merged, the original topography of the village has completely changed, the land has expanded outward, the roads have broken everywhere, most of the houses have collapsed, and there is a not-so-dense jungle in the center of the sky, growing many plants that are not on the earth today.
Chu Wen and Zhao Jun hid behind a fern, staring at the two lean and sturdy gnolls in front of them, holding bone knives and animal skins around their waists.
Chu Wen held the long knife that Zhao Jun had just given him, and gestured to Zhao Jun, "I'll solve the right one, and you will be in charge of the left." ”
Zhao Jun nodded, indicating that he understood.
Like a cheetah that had been dormant for a long time, Chu Wen jumped up like lightning, and when he landed, a bright light flashed, and the entire wolf head of the jackal on the right rolled down.
After solving this gnoll, Chu Wen instantly turned his head and was about to attack the one on the left, but he saw that Zhao Jun was pulling the dagger out of the throat of the gnoll, and at the same time looked at Chu Wen's side.
Chu Wen was a little surprised, Zhao Jun's current physical fitness was not comparable to him at all, but he could easily solve a jackal, it seemed that he had real skills, but Zhao Jun was even more surprised than Chu Wen, that knife was so fast and powerful, he thought he couldn't do it.
The next moment, the two looked at each other and nodded, expressing their recognition of each other's strength.
