Chapter 37 Chapter 37 When bad luck strikes, you’ll meet people you hate…

Night fell and the forest was completely dark.

Lu Zhiluan sprinkled several packets of medicine powder into the stream. The fine powder mixed into the water, precipitated, melted, and flowed far away.

The two mercenaries behind him were like door gods, each holding a light, giving me a full sense of security.

Today's beast tide came in a strange way. The system detected the remnants of supernatural powers in those mad animals.

He and the system couldn't find any clues after analyzing it, and the purpose of the person behind it became confusing.

Apart from the leader wolf, the second beast tide they encountered was completely irregular. Large animals, small animals, birds and beasts were all killed, and even the fish in the water were biting each other.

Rather than deliberately creating chaos, Lu Zhiluan was more inclined to believe that it was a situation caused by some accident.

But no matter what the reason is, the practice is despicable.

Lu Zhiluan stood up and walked back to the two mercenaries. "Leave here first and find a safe place to rest. It's dangerous to walk in the forest at night."

In order to avoid the beast tide, they hid deep in the forest. There was no signal and they couldn't contact anyone else.

They could only survive tonight, or wait for the people outside to find them.

The two mercenaries had rich experience in surviving in the wild, and they quickly took him to find a place with a wide view to serve as a place to stay.

Lu Zhiluan leaned against a tree trunk and closed his eyes to rest. He had used too many treatment techniques today and was already mentally exhausted.

The two mercenaries tacitly agreed not to disturb them and quietly searched for signals nearby with their communication equipment.

On the other side of the forest, a group of guards were searching for the missing persons with strong flashlights, but only Lu Zhiluan and two mercenaries were left.

Two researchers fell and injured their legs while trying to escape the frenzied beasts, but the others were not seriously injured.

There was no news from the vanguard, and Zhuo Browser in the rear felt the pressure doubled, as if he was being stared at by a cat.

He had promised solemnly before that he could find the person.

Four hours had passed since we arrived at Haikou, and not even a bird, let alone a person, had been found.

The little black cat in his arms just looked at him silently, its eyes becoming sharper and gloomier in the darkness.

Zhuo Lan rubbed his nose guiltily.

"There's someone ahead!" the rescue guards shouted.

Zhuo Lan's face lit up with joy and he hurried over.

The two mercenaries fell to the ground, unconscious, and Lu Zhiluan, who was supposed to be with them, was nowhere to be found.

Feeling the pulses of the two men, Zhuo Lan said coldly, "They've been drugged. Bring me the antidote."

After taking an injection of antidote, the mercenary slowly woke up.

Zhuo Lan: "What happened to you? Where is Dr. Lu?"

The mercenary frowned, feeling very upset about his own negligence. He had never expected to be ambushed by a group of unknown people. He whispered, "It was a group of mercenaries who did dirty work. They took Doctor Lu away. Before I passed out, I vaguely heard that one of them was injured and needed a doctor."

Zhuo Lan: "Did you see which direction they went?"

The mercenary looked towards the dark forest on the right. "That way."

Zhuo Lan's eyes were cold, and he immediately gave the order, "Team Two, follow me, and the rest of you continue searching." Then he turned and walked to the right.

*

In the dim woods, a few beams of white light flashed by, and the sound of chaotic footsteps was heard.

Lu Zhiluan was surrounded by several ferocious mercenaries and was pushed forward.

The light at night was too obvious, so in order not to attract attention, the group walked in the dark. Except for some uncertain terrain where they turned on the lights to illuminate, they spent most of the journey in darkness.

The mercenaries were used to walking at night, but Lu Zhiluan was not. As he was walking, his foot was tripped by a protruding branch, and his body lost its center of gravity and fell forward. The mercenary beside him pulled him back by the collar. The man fiercely scolded the frail doctor, "Behave yourself!"

Lu Zhiluan was strangled and kept coughing. He looked at the man in the dark and asked cautiously, "Brother, where are you taking me? I'm just an ordinary veterinarian and I don't have much money. Did you kidnap the wrong person?"

A sneer came from behind, "Why are you talking so much? If you weren't a doctor, do you think you could still stand here?"

"Shut your mouth, or I wouldn't mind helping you."

Sensing the threatening tone, Lu Zhiluan immediately fell silent, thinking to himself that this group of people were very dangerous and he couldn't go against them.

When the lights were turned on next time, Lu Zhiluan could clearly see the faces of several people around him. They looked unfamiliar.

Moreover, they deliberately walked through areas with dense grass and many trees, as if they were hiding from something. Lu Zhiluan thought of a possibility that there was another party in the forest that made these mercenaries jealous. After thinking it over, he concluded that it could only be the Alliance's guards.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhiluan forced himself to cheer up and prepared to deal with this group of people until the guards arrived.

Soon he was taken to the outside of a cave, from which he heard several painful roars, muffled and like those coming from some beast with its mouth covered.

There were two people guarding outside the cave. The cold and dazzling white light suddenly hit his face, and Lu Zhiluan squinted his eyes uncomfortably.

Then he heard a disgusting voice, "It turns out to be you..."

"Young Master?" The man chuckled with a few ambiguous sounds.

Lu Zhiluan opened his eyes and met Lei Jiu's sinister and cunning face. His left eye was covered by an eyepatch, and the dark look in his right eye was frighteningly bright.

The mercenary who captured Lu Zhiluan looked back and forth between the two men and asked Lei Jiu, "Why, do you know each other?"

The person he had been trying so hard to find finally fell into his hands. Lei Jiu was in a good mood at the moment and laughed softly, "More than just acquaintance, didn't you say you were looking for a researcher? How come you caught a young master?"

The mercenary said, "Master? Isn't he a veterinarian?" He told him about what he saw Lu Zhilan saving a wolf that day, "I think he is much more useful than those researchers."

A flash of surprise flashed across Lei Jiu's eyes, and then he looked at Lu Zhiluan, "That's quite a lot of identities."

The wailing in the cave became more and more intense. Lei Jiu originally planned to throw the captured researchers in there. If they could be cured, they would be cured. If not, they would be left to fend for themselves.

Now it was Lu Zhiluan's turn. He suddenly changed his mind and pointed at the mercenary behind Lu Zhiluan, "You come in with me." At the same time, he slightly stepped aside to make way for Lu Zhiluan, raised his eyebrows and said, "Please come in, little doctor."

Lu Zhiluan had no choice.

There was a man tied up in the cave. When they came in, he was struggling with his head against the ground, rolling around in pain, with wounds of varying sizes all over his body, all of which he had inflicted himself.

Noticing someone intruding, the man's eyes widened slightly, and he let out a low growl and was about to rush over. His aggressiveness was very obvious, like a wild beast whose territory was intruded upon, with no rationality at all.

Lei Jiu went up and kicked him down, and his body hit the wall of the mountain, making a heart-wrenching sound of broken bones.

The man seemed to feel no pain and struggled to get up again.

Lei Jiu stepped on the man's chest, exerting force with his feet, smiled arrogantly at Lu Zhiluan, and said, "Heal him quickly, doctor."

Lu Zhiluan ignored him and looked at the person on the ground.

The system in my head was saying, "This person also has that supernatural aura, and it's even stronger than that of animals."

Lu Zhiluan stood still, his expression unchanged, and asked calmly, "What happened to him?"

Lei Jiu narrowed his eyes and said unhappily: "If I knew what happened to him, why would I need you as a doctor?"

Lu Zhiluan crossed his arms indifferently: "If a person has done nothing, it is impossible for him to become like this for no reason. There must be a reason. Since you are not going to tell me, I am sorry that I can't do anything."

"You!" Lei Jiu was very annoyed. He really didn't know why this man had become like this.

After the failure of the last fox-catching mission, the team he was in broke up due to conflicts. In addition, after losing his left eye, his temper became more and more unstable, and no one was willing to team up with him.

Not long ago, this group of people suddenly found him and offered him a high price to lead the way into the forest to find the Green Wild Wolf. Coincidentally, Lei Jiu knew exactly where the wolves were active.

This job was easy, and Lei Jiu was smug that he could make a fortune. He never expected that this group of people gave the wolf an injection as soon as they arrived, which made the wolf go crazy on the spot and bite two people in the team to death.

During the escape, another person in the team went crazy. His madness was no different from that of the wolf. He bit anyone he saw.

Just when Lei Jiu was cursing and swearing, the beast tide broke out again.

Now, a large number of guards were attracted, and it was difficult for them to get out. They could only hide in the forest.

Thinking of this, Lei Jiu's face darkened, and he pointed at the people behind Lu Zhiluan and said, "Go ask them, I don't know anything!"

"There are not so many problems. Just treat him the same way you treated the wolf. No matter what method you use, just make him stop howling like crazy." The mercenary behind him glanced coldly at the person on the ground, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Looking at his attitude, Lu Zhiluan knew that he couldn't get any more information.

The man's symptoms looked much more serious than the wolf's. His eyes were bloodshot and red, and his blood vessels were bulging and knotted like crazy, as if they were about to burst.

Lu Zhiluan put his hand on his head.

The system's detection light group traveled through the man's body and absorbed the energy, saying bluntly: "This man is hopeless. His body functions have long been damaged by the rejection reaction of the superpowers. He will die suddenly in three days at most."

As his energy was sucked away, the man's wailing gradually subsided and he fell into a coma.

Lei Jiu's impatient look gradually turned into surprise, as if he had not expected Lu Zhilan to be so capable. Even the mercenary was a little surprised.

Lu Zhiluan: "The people have been rescued. When can I leave?"

The mercenary remained silent, as if he was considering whether to stay or go.

Lei Jiu grabbed Lu Zhiluan's arm, raised his chin and said to the man: "I want to take this person away. The mission you gave me has been completed. Now you can take your people away. We will go our separate ways."

The mercenary glanced at Lu Zhiluan indifferently, said "It's up to you," and turned to leave.

Someone came in and took the unconscious man away, and the group quickly left the cave.

Now there are only Lu Zhiluan and Lei Jiu left.

Lei Jiu took out a rope and tied up Lu Zhiluan's hands. With a wicked smile on his face, he pulled the other end of the rope and said sinisterly, "If you don't want to suffer, you'd better be obedient. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude. Please come in, young master."

Lu Zhiluan pursed his lips and said nothing, following silently behind.

Lei Jiu was very satisfied with his cooperation. Looking at the light getting closer and closer in front of him, his eyes darkened and he pulled Lu Zhiluan in the opposite direction.

As soon as the two of them left, Zhuo Lan and his guards found the empty cave.

Looking at the messy traces on the ground on the right and the bloodstained cave, Zhuo Lan's face was as gloomy as water. He turned around and was about to chase to the right.

At this moment, Jing Miao suddenly smelled a faint scent of medicine. Lu Zhiluan had nothing to do these days, so he was grinding medicine powder in the store. He was very familiar with this.

He jumped down from Zhuolan's arms and ran into the cave.

Soon, traces of scattered powder were found on the ground, extending all the way to the bushes on the left side outside the cave.

Jing Miao walked to the bushes that had collapsed inconspicuously and turned back to signal.

Zhuo Lan understood immediately and directed the others: "A few of you go to the right, and the rest of you follow me here!"

The footsteps of the pursuers were getting closer and closer. Lei Jiu, who was hiding in the dark and observing, cursed inwardly and picked up the knocked-out Lu Zhilan and ran away.

"There's someone over there!"

"Chase!"

"stop!"

Several strong beams of light pierced through the darkness and hit Lei Jiu, making it impossible for people in the dark to hide. At the same time, Jing Miao also saw Lu Zhiluan on his shoulder, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

"Ah!" Zhuo Lan's arms suddenly felt empty; the little black cat had disappeared into the darkness.

Lei Jiu knew that it would be a matter of time before he was caught up with such a burden, but he was unwilling to give up this young doctor!

They were about to reach the place where the Star Shuttle was parked. He reluctantly threw the person down and prepared to leave. Before turning around, he caught a glimpse of that defenseless and cold face. The vicious destructive desire in his heart suddenly rose up. If he couldn't get it, he would destroy it!

With cold eyes, he pointed the gun at Lu Zhiluan's head and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"
