Nine hours later.

"It's a pity that I'm still 30% off progress, it looks like I'll have to wait for tomorrow before I can successfully advance to level 4 evolutionary!"

As time passed, the sun slowly set, the sky became darker and darker, and the temperature of the environment also decreased by a range that the body could perceive.

During the day's hunting, in addition to the level 4 two-headed demonic dog, Zhang Ran continued to kill five level 4 mutant creatures and more than a dozen level 3 mutant creatures, as for those level 2 mutant creatures who dared to provoke Zhang Ran, they were naturally killed by him one by one.

With Zhang Ran's strength and ability to plunder blood, he would hardly lose much physical strength after killing a level 3 mutant creature or a level 4 mutant creature, so he could keep hunting for up to several hours, unlike ordinary evolutionaries who needed to stop for a long time to rest their stamina.

In fact, what limits Zhang Ran's hunting speed is still the number of mutated creatures in the wilderness, for those high-level mutant creatures, except for a few social existences, other mutated creatures will basically occupy a territory, and different mutated creatures rarely invade each other's territory.

Because of this, there is often a large distance between the two high-level mutant creatures, and this wilderness has been swept by a large number of other evolutionaries, so Zhang Ran's hunting speed cannot be too fast.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Ran no longer stayed in the wilderness, but instead of returning to Black Eagle City as before, he decided to stay overnight at the nearest forward base, so that he wouldn't need to spend too much time returning to the wilderness when the next day came.

After making up his mind, Zhang Ran also had a thought, opened the analog map of the chip, and gave a wayfinding instruction to the chip in his heart.

There are a total of ten forward bases around Black Eagle City, and the closest to Zhang Ran is the No. 6 forward base, under the guidance of the chip, Zhang Ran also took a step and walked in the direction of the No. 6 forward base.

After a quick journey, an hour later, Zhang Ran had already arrived in front of the No. 6 advance base.

Unlike the No. 1 Forward Base, which was built on the foundation of an old sanctuary, this No. 6 Forward Base was built by the Black Hawk Company himself, located in a small valley, surrounded by mountains on three sides, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Several guards checked Zhang Ran's employee identification badges, and Zhang Ran also paid a fee of ten Black Eagle Coins, and then he was able to cross the wall made of cement and steel plates, and enter the No. 6 Forward Base.

The valley where Base Six is located is not large, about 300 meters long and 30 meters wide, and is flanked by rock walls up to 10 meters high, guarded by guards armed with machine guns to prevent mutant beasts from climbing over the rock walls and invading the forward base.

In the valley, there are some tents in the outermost area, the tent area is surrounded by stone houses, and the inner area is surrounded by dozens of flat small bungalows, and the innermost is a three-story building covering an area of thousands of square meters.

For those outermost tents, they are all places for those who come to practice, and the price is the cheapest, only ten Black Eagle Coins a night.

As for the stone houses in the inner walls, they were for the poorer evolutionaries to live in, and cost fifty Black Hawk coins a night, but they had beds and simple furniture, freeing them from the dilemma of bunks in tents.

The price of the bungalow is even higher, and it costs 300 Black Eagle Coins for a night's stay, but the facilities inside are better than the stone house, and there is a bathroom, but due to the high price, the average evolutionary is generally reluctant to buy it.

As for the innermost building, it is the main base of the forward base, which has the task hall, material area, office area, trading area, restaurant, bar and other infrastructure, and is also the residence of the base leader, management personnel and some senior guards.

For Zhang Ranyan, after hunting, the Black Eagle Coins on his body have reached 900,000, plus those level 4 mutant biological materials that are inconvenient to sell, it can be said that he is a millionaire, so he came to the office hall without hesitation and rented a bungalow.

In the Black Hawk Company, the price of renting an apartment is only 2,000 Black Eagle Coins, but the price of renting a bungalow here is 300 Black Eagle Coins, which is extremely expensive.

However, considering the cost of building such a base in the wilderness, and the financial resources that are already required to defend the forces here, such a charge is quite reasonable, and there is no suspicion of a shopkeeper bullying.

Not only that, but this No. 6 base has great preferential treatment for those who have experienced quasi-evolutionaries.

Like the No. 1 forward base where Zhang Ran was training, there was no special residence for non-evolutionary practitioners, and if they couldn't afford to pay the accommodation fee, they had to obediently use tents to live outside the base, and they were in danger, while the practitioners of No. 6 base also had to live in tents, but they could be protected by the guards, and they were much safer.

After getting the key to the bungalow, Zhang Ran came to the restaurant in the No. 6 base again, although the high-energy food was enough to satisfy his stomach, but if there was enough time and conditions, Zhang Ran was more willing to have a good meal.

"Ten kilograms of barbecued unicorn wild boar, five kilograms of rice, and five kilograms of charcoal-grilled savage beef steak, a total of six hundred Black Eagle coins, this lord!"

As a result, Zhang Ran handed over the menu, and the waitress's eyes also showed a bit of ambiguity, being able to spend six hundred Black Eagle Coins on a dinner, such a person is definitely a very powerful evolutionary.

"Oh, here you go. ”

Listening to the waitress's words, Zhang Ran also nodded slightly, took out six golden black eagle coins with a face value of one hundred from his pocket, and handed them to the waitress.

"By the way, my lord, are you interested in accepting my services tonight? For only fifty Black Hawk Coins, I can bring you the best memories!"

After receiving the Black Eagle Coin handed by Zhang Ran, the waitress also asked unabashedly.

Being able to become a service member in the base, this waitress is already good among ordinary women in the wilderness, although there are some radiation spots on her body, but the basic color is very light, and her skin is not too rough.

For such a woman, there are many low-level evolutionaries who are willing to pay to spend a night with them, even for a lowest-level Level 1 evolutionary, fifty Black Eagle Coins is not a large amount.

However, for the waitress, fifty Black Eagle Coins is her salary for five days of hard work, which can allow her to eat several meals or buy some practical items, so she is also very willing to sell her body, after all, in the wasteland, most humans even have a luxury to survive, how can they have the time to consider those ethical and moral issues?
