In the Donghuang Federation, in a certain forest in the north of the ninth district, a hunting team of five people is cautiously advancing in the middle of it.

It's May, and the ninth district is geographically the southernmost part of the Donghuang Federation, and the temperature has long been the norm here to exceed 20 degrees Celsius.

But even so, in order to ensure safety, the members of the five-person team still wrapped themselves tightly around their bodies, and even in order to hide their bodies in the forest full of strange beasts, they also deliberately put on a layer of camouflage clothing made of leaves over their heavy clothes.

Although the actual effect of this camouflage suit is better than nothing, for these people living in settlements outside the city, survival is the most important thing, and as for comfort and the like, it has little to do with them who just want to survive.

The so-called settlements are actually a kind of settlements that mainly exist within the Donghuang Federation, or in areas that have been developed to a certain extent, and some cities have released some population pressures that can no longer bear after the population explosion in the last thirty or forty years, and then left them to fend for themselves.

Among them, the main ones are some ordinary people who do not have the ability to awaken.

Today's Blue Star, everyone knows the difficulties of the living environment in the wild, so those who are lucky enough to survive naturally form one small settlement after another.

These settlements are not large, and generally only a few dozen to a hundred or so human beings.

For example, this time the five-person team was composed of a small number of young adults in the settlement, and then half of them went out to hunt and find supplies, and the other half stayed in the camp to guard their homes.

It's not that there hasn't been a settlement with a larger number of people, after all, everyone understands the concept of greater strength in numbers.

But the problem is that no matter how large these settlements are, they can easily become permanent "cafeterias" for the beasts without the protection of permanent defenses such as city walls.

In the end, after several lessons of blood and tears, I finally tried this more appropriate number.

After all, the Donghuang Federation is still a gradually recovering civilized society, so even if there is no way to completely prevent this kind of thing from happening, it still helps these people win the right to trade with nearby cities, and hand over the relevant matters to the consuls stationed in the cities.

After all, the place with the most supplies on the Blue Star is still in the wild, so these settlements can still occasionally get something that the hunters missed.

Of course, it may be that they don't like those things, but at least it's okay to change some food.

It's just that the rule is that the dead are alive, not to mention that not every city's consul can get preferential treatment from the local head like Fang Qinghong.

Therefore, in the specific implementation process, the people of those settlements will not be deliberately squeezed at most, and can be exchanged from the city for enough food to maintain the minimum subsistence guarantee.

As for more survival materials, it can only depend on the degree of blackness of the city on which you depend.

……

The five-person squad marched cautiously in the forest according to the formation of the usual training, two in front and one in the back, for fear of making some noise and provoking the existence that should not be provoked.

Fortunately, with the "support" of the city now, this team will not use self-made cold weapons to fight against alien beasts, but also carry a firearm or alloy weapon or armor from modern civilization.

With these things, even if they encounter a second-order alien beast, as long as the opponent is not the type with strong defense, this team will have a certain degree of certainty to kill it.

"Brother Sun, look, there seems to be movement there."

At this moment, one of the people at the front of the team suddenly stopped and whispered to the team leader behind him, while pointing his finger to the east of the team.

"Xiao Zhu, telescope."

The man known as Brother Sun didn't talk nonsense, and directly ordered a member of the team next to him to start working, and the latter, after receiving the order, hurriedly raised the binoculars on his waist and followed the instructions of the first person.

"Brother Sun, it's three gray rabbits, and they're not small." Xiao Zhu's tone seemed a little excited, but his years of hunting experience still made him instinctively suppress the loudness of his voice.

"How big?" Sun Qiang asked in a deep voice, not looking too excited like Xiao Zhu.

The reason why Sun Qiang was able to become the leader of this team, in addition to the fact that he himself was a first-order awakener, his calm personality was also a very important reason.

"The largest one should have seventeen or eighteen pounds, and it is estimated that even if it is not a second-order, it is not too much." Xiao Zhu only had some hindsight at this time.

The meat of the gray mango rabbit is delicious, the leather is also a good material for clothing, and even the most useless blood on the body of ordinary alien beasts is an important auxiliary material for making some kind of low-level medicine.

Basically, it is already the most valuable part of all first-order alien beasts.

Although the gray mango rabbit can now be initially bred in captivity, the gap between domestic and wild rabbits is still not small because the technology is not mature enough.

The Gray Mango Rabbit is the same as the Demon Tooth Mouse, and under normal circumstances, it only has the strength of the first order, and only some individuals will grow to the second order.

It's just that their ability to escape is too strong, and their sense of aura is particularly keen, so for most hunters, unless they awaken the special ability to hide their aura, or have related types of treasures, even if they catch one, it will be a bit more than worth the loss, so these settlements are given the opportunity to pick up the debris.

Most of the settlement residents do not have the ability to awaken, and if they carry ordinary weapons, their own spiritual power fluctuations are almost equal to none, so compared to those low-level hunters, they can more easily capture the lowest level of alien beasts such as the gray mango rabbit and the magic tooth rat.

Here, after listening to Xiao Zhu's description, Sun Qiang instantly began to calculate in his brain whether his team could wipe out the three gray rabbits.

This process did not take too long, after all, Sun Qiang also knew that the three gray rabbits were almost impossible for them to meet, if they didn't make up their minds for too long, if they were discovered by other settlements, it would be easy for conflicts to break out.

"Xiao Zhu and I are in charge of guarding." Sun Qiang calmly ordered, "Then Da Zhuang and Erga surrounded him from both sides, remember to pay attention to the wind direction." ”

In the end, Sun Qiang put his eyes on the person who spoke out at the beginning: "Daqing, you are still the same, go find a tree as a commanding height, and when Da Zhuang and Erga are in place, you can shoot." ”

"Okay!" Daqing smiled and said a word, then looked left and right, and soon found the big tree he liked, and climbed up with a rifle on his back three times and two times.
