Mapping is one of the most common tasks. Naturally, this kind of depiction, which requires high precision, cannot be done manually. In fact, Zero has an extra piece of equipment on his left wrist. It was a multifunctional tactical watch rented in the hall of the Remte trade union, in addition to the functions related to the watch time, compass, temperature test and date. It also has another feature, and that is a holographic scanner.

As long as this function is turned on, the place where Zero has walked will be displayed on the base's mapper by connecting to the base computer. Because each base has its own security identification system set up on its computer, a tactical watch like this one is not universal. Usually after accepting a mapping mission, a mercenary must rent a designated watch from the guild.

Remut's own tactical watch was relatively simple, and in his spare time he had made up for the knowledge of the new age. As far as he knew, tactical watches developed by major companies like Parkland even had holographic dialogue capabilities, and could also be used as holographic computers when paired with electronic gloves.

And now, with Zero out of the library. At the site in Remut, the western campus of the university town of Lampez has been prepared with a map and a three-dimensional plan.

Zero found a place in the shadow of the ruins and sat down, he hadn't closed his eyes or eaten for two days. The physical exertion was more than he had imagined, and now he had zero need for energy. After drinking 200 ml of secondary purified water and a tube of nutrients, Zero relaxes the body to cause food to be broken down more quickly and converted into energy for action. The body is resting, but Zero's head is still working.

In the past two days, he has not encountered the other three mercenaries, which is more than the size of the university town. But as the unknown area gradually decreases, it is only a matter of time before the two sides encounter. There were three people on the other side, and except for the expressionless Chinese woman, the other two men were hostile. Especially the Elemental Domain powerhouse, when he left, Zero clearly felt the murderous aura released by the other party against him.

The abilities of the Elemental Domain are mysterious and powerful, but Zero is not afraid. No matter how powerful the ability is, it must be able to be displayed only by seeing the opponent. Zero didn't intend to clash head-on, and a high-level Elemental Domain capable couldn't withstand the bullets. As long as Zero is given a chance, he will be able to take out the man named Raff before his opponent's ability is activated.

If it weren't for the temporary payment for Teddy, that amount of money would have been enough to buy an old sniper rifle. In a labyrinthine area like a college town, it's not difficult to snipe at a person who isn't very physically strong.

And now, the money left is only enough to buy two fragmentation grenades of the old era.

The only thing to worry about is the Chinese woman, because she can't see the depth, so it's dangerous.

Half an hour later, Zero left the cover. This break had allowed him to store enough energy for two days of activity, and he took advantage of the terrain to dive to the south of the campus.

The area in this area is mainly a living area, with rows of dormitory buildings surrounded by artificial gardens. There is even an artificial lake in the center of the living area, and it is conceivable that in the old days, it must have been a vibrant lake. Now, the dormitory building has collapsed, the garden has been in disrepair for many years, and the grass and trees have long since died due to long-term exposure to the sun. The artificial lake had already bottomed out, and the dry bottom of the lake was covered with the feces and bodily fluids of unknown animals, which was very disgusting.

Zero drilled into one of the dormitory buildings, the building with more than five floors had been damaged and collapsed, and the building below five floors was still intact, but there were cracks everywhere, as if it was about to collapse at any time. In the corridor on the ground floor of the dormitory building, a puddle of transparent goo in the dim environment attracts Zero's attention. Zero squatted down, lightly glued it with his fingers, and took it to his nose and sniffed it gently.

There was a faint fishy smell coming from me, a bit like the smell of dead fish. A slight tingling sensation came from his fingertips, telling Zero that there was a small amount of toxin in this thing. Zero is no stranger to this kind of thing, and he has seen a lot of it in two days. That's the silk slime of rock spiders, which they wrap around their prey and drag it away. And in the process of dragging the cobweb, it will leave such slime on the ground.

The slime in this corridor has not yet condensed, indicating that a rock spider has just dragged its prey past. The trail of slime stretched from the hallway to the multipurpose room, and Zero stood up and pulled out a pair of revolvers and walked towards the multipurpose hall.

The door to the multipurpose hall is mostly rotten, and only a small piece of wood is left to act as a cover. Zero looked through the gap in the door panel, and the multipurpose hall was cleared of an open space. The morning sun shone in through the window, and in the light, clumps of human chrysalis wrapped in spider silk were hanging in the air.

A rock spider dragged its silk-wrapped prey up the wall, and then used the silk's incredibly thick slime to secure it to the ceiling of the hall, and a new human chrysalis joined. Zero didn't expect these monsters to use the multi-purpose hall as a food storage room, and these people would become a feast for rock spiders when they breeded. They will be sucked up by the hungry rock spiders in their cobwebs, and all Zuihou is left with a skinny corpse.

After securing the food to the ceiling, the rock spider burrowed into a crack in the corner of the hall and disappeared. Zero then burrowed into the hall and came under the freshly captured prey. These people wrapped in spider silk include old and young, men and women. Some of them had lost their breath, while others still had a faint breath like the new prey.

The man who had just been captured, Zero recognized him. The wine trough nose that can be used as a sign is the old drunkard that Zero bumped into at the door of the union hall. Zero took out the dagger, cut the spider silk, and gently held the old drunkard's body and lowered him to the ground.

The neurotoxin on the spider silk has already invaded the old drunkard's body, and now Zero only hopes that this person will not be captured by the rock bead for a long time, and the poison will not be deep, then the toxin can be excreted by bleeding him. Zero rolled up the drunkard's sleeve and took the dagger to wipe it at his wrist. Unexpectedly, the dagger was suddenly held by a hand. The old drunkard, who should have been paralyzed, opened his eyes wide and asked Zero, "What are you going to do?"

"You're not poisoned?" said Zero.

The drunkard sneered, "Which monster hunter have you ever seen get put down by a monster you are familiar with?" I deliberately let it catch, you idiot!"

Zero surprise, the hunter he knew, but he didn't know that there was such a classification as monster hunter. I didn't expect that the old man in front of me, who had already stepped into the coffin with one foot, would still be a hunter.
