Zero opened his eyes, bounced off the ground, and then swept out a quick kick, picking up the sand and stones on the ground to extinguish the bonfire. The sound of gunfire and roars grew to the point that the battle was approaching in the distance, which was undoubtedly a nuisance. When it comes to trouble, Zero has only two ways to do it. One is to avoid it, and the other is to end it as soon as possible.

Given that Zero could hear the odds in the midst of the fighting, it seemed that the situation was not in favor of the human side, and he intended to do them a favor. In the wilderness, unless it's a clear hostile relationship, supporting one's own kind is a rule that doesn't need to be explicitly stated.

After waking Monie up and telling her and Lara to stay in their tents, Zero swoops off the battlefield like a ghost. The battlefield was not far from his camp, and less than a kilometer later, he saw in the distance a group of men and horses fighting and fleeing on the road under the darkness of the night. There were two buggies in the group, and several wagons towed by mutated two-headed horses. The wagons were covered with thick tarpaulins, as if they were carrying some kind of goods.

It looks like it's a caravan.

At the back of the caravan, more than a dozen guards were constantly fighting off the incoming corpse wolves with automatic rifles. These scavenging beasts like to haunt at night, and it seems that the caravans are out of luck. From Zero's point of view, there were two or three hundred strong male wolves attacking the caravan behind the road.

Although the caravan's firepower temporarily suppressed the wolves' attacks, when the ammunition was exhausted, the daggers and machetes carried by the guards did not appear to be a sharp weapon against the wolves.

After observing it for a while, Zero felt that something was wrong. The attacks of wolves appear to be too regular, and wolves are known to be social animals. And when hunting, they will show a higher degree of organization than other beasts. But now the wolves attacking the caravan can no longer be described as organized, and their fierce and short offensive is almost like a well-trained army. This is not the fighting wisdom that wolves should have.

Zero was shocked, the performance of the wolves reminded him of the herd of living corpses he had seen in Silvertree City two years ago. At that time, these living corpses had already shown the wisdom they should not have, and even formed the rudiments of society. And now, this group of corpse wolves has made Zero see the way of fighting like marching and fighting, and he can't help but think of the word evolution.

The evolution of life is not only manifested at the level of liliang. Occasionally, it also manifests itself in the aspect of wisdom. And the latter is far more valuable than the former, and Zero can't imagine what kind of pattern Shijie will become when a living corpse, a corpse wolf, or other monsters have wisdom. What is certain is that the living space of human beings is bound to shrink further, and Shijie will be more cruel at that time than now.

Restraining the mind, Zero is not a philosopher, let alone a politician. It was not his turn to worry about these big issues, and it was more important to help the caravan solve this crisis now. Zero circled and silently headed towards the back of the wolves.

Campbell put the cross to his forehead, and while sitting in the buggy, he sincerely prayed for God to appear to help him overcome this disaster.

Campbell was nearly fifty years old, but he was still in the prime of life by the standards of the wilderness. Although his hair was already gray and his muscles were beginning to loosen, he still had the energy of a young man. That's why Campbell is one of the best adventure merchants on this coastline.

The risk-taking merchant was a trade that only came into existence after the cataclysm, and after the land became dangerous, there were still those who were rich enough to take the risk of running a business that sold goods from the south to the north. These merchants, who walk the land all year round, wandering between bases and companies, are known as adventure merchants.

In turbulent times, other companies did not have the ability to transport supplies independently, except for large corporations like the Parkland chaebol. That's where the adventure merchant came in. They would sometimes bring goods from distant places that were not available locally, or trade long distances between companies and companies, and even merchants would buy exotic creatures from the southwest and bring them to the coastline to sell. And this kind of businessman will also have another name, people call them monster brokers.

Campbell is one such monster agent.

People have a wonderful desire to control, especially those in positions of authority. And in this turbulent era, with a large number of human subordinates and subjects, it is no longer possible to meet the needs of the big people, and the saki ** always makes them willing to buy some hideous and dangerous monsters from Campbell as pets. Even though some unlucky people are killed by their pets every year, Campbell's business has never stopped because of this.

This time, he bought some good goods from the Southwest, including a monster that could be called a treasure. Campbell believed it would sell for a good price, but of course, it wasn't something anyone could afford. So this time Campbell plans to be greedy, he will go to the city of eternal night where the Dark Council is located, and the bigwigs of the Council must be interested in studying this rare species from the depths of the southwestern lands.

It is said that in order to capture this monster, the adventuring party that sold it to Campbell paid the price of almost total destruction. And such a monster is indeed unheard of. But before arriving in Eternal Night City, Kan also plans to give this monster a tour, on the one hand, to give the wind to Eternal Night City, and on the other hand, to make more money. As the saying goes, kill two birds with one stone, why not do it.

On Camber's itinerary, Titan City, which is not far from here, is one of the bases that must be stopped. And from the southwest land back to the coastline, Campbell has not been able to eat and sleep well, what he wants most is to enter a safe base and sleep well. At this moment when he was in sight in Titan City, he would let the team rush overnight.

Since he is an adventurous businessman, Campbell naturally does not have any defense. In fact, a mercenary army called the "Arctic Fox" serves him all year round. This mercenary team is full of veterans who have been fighting for many years, and among them, the captain and lieutenant of the mercenaries are also abilities at the fourth and third levels. Although their abilities are not very powerful, such as thermal weapon specialization and reconnaissance abilities in the perception domain, there are very few mistakes during the period of guarding Campbell, so Campbell has no intention of changing people.

But tonight, the ever-seasoned Arctic fox was beaten up by a pack of hungry wolves. In Campbell's business history, monsters like corpse wolves were not even worth selling. A monster like this can still be killed in a few strafing shots.

But now, the Arctic Fox seems to have been fighting for too long, which has shrouded Campber's not brave heart in a panicked shadow.

The adventure merchants dare to walk the dangerous land because of their greed for wealth, not their courage to face any danger!
