Dare to go hunting?
Chapter 87
The Mu family's car firmly supports Wei Huan, and naturally praises him a lot in his words.
But it was not the Mu family's car, but the leader's car arranged by the Northeast Army. There were also people who had different opinions from the Mu family and were more inclined to Commander Chai's leader's car.
These leader vehicles were carrying out the orders of the legion and treated Wei Huan in an impartial manner.
But after spending these two days together, I changed my mind.
You have to know that Wei Huan is only 20 years old. Even though he is very powerful, in the eyes of others, he is still a newcomer challenging the world.
It's not that he didn't look down on Wei Huan in his heart. He couldn't help but want to give him advice or comments on everything. He was a driver who relied on his seniority to bully others.
But after two days, they themselves didn't realize that their tone had changed.
"I thought there would be some trouble when we set out today.
Last night, a stray monster descended from the sky, spawning a spider boss the size of a football field and destroying over 100 vehicles. This wasn't a high loss, but it wasn't a low one either. With hundreds of people concentrating their efforts on negotiations, it was enough to put some strain on the leader's vehicle.
I thought Wei Huan's agreement to meet would lead to lengthy negotiations, but surprisingly, everything went smoothly. I've never seen such courage in someone his age. Even You Wuyi in the southwest probably doesn't have that kind of skill."
"You Wuyi can be a leader's car, but he can't be the main leader's car. He's too kind and has the naiveté of a young man. Why should we mention him?"
"I just feel sad about how big the gap is between Wei Huan and his peers."
"Wei Huanqiang, the two Mu family members in his car are not bad either. I heard that the Mu family's fourth-level car and third-level car are also among us."
"You mean, the Mu family has sidelined Wei Huan?"
"The Mu family won't do that. Sidelining Wei Huan would only offend the genius. Judging from his style of doing things, Wei Huan would rather die than surrender, and he has his own ideas. I don't dislike the Mu family, but they place too much emphasis on uniting the family bloodline. In my opinion, the family lacks some courage. The few people who came out of the Mu family are all elegant gentlemen. In this world, defending the city is enough, but if you want to expand the territory, it is far from enough."
"Wei Huan and the Mu family are like the tough, steely spear barrel, tempered by a thousand blows; the other is the indestructible spear tip. No one could have imagined they would be so compatible. The Mu family is about to prosper."
"You're right. With the Mu family, Wei Huan will definitely be at the forefront. We must contact Wei Huan more often and keep a good impression of him."
"This Wei Huan is not easy to get close to, but when he was in a low position, the people in his car must have been his confidants. We can also interact with his confidants."
"Good suggestion. If we can perfectly carry out his orders every time, once he gains power, this will be our token of loyalty."
"Yes, jealousy doesn't make a person unrecognizable. In this world, jealousy will only ruin one's future."
“Emotional investment in talent is also an investment.”
…
Wei Huan didn't feel any change in command.
But Mu Zhong and his cousin Mu could feel that the orders were being passed down much more smoothly.
There were always some obscure blockages in the original command of the 44,000-strong convoy, and it was not possible to achieve full coverage.
But now this feeling is gone.
When the order was given, the only response received was "yes" and it was promoted without any questioning.
The two cousins were also very aware of this change.
After Wei Huan refused to negotiate last night, he successfully gave everyone the impression that he was strong.
For a true soldier, this unshakable command ability is the most effective way to conquer people's hearts.
Being a leader is not being a political commissar, so why bother talking so much?
Besides, isn’t there Mu Zhong who can calm people’s hearts?
Although Wei Huan refused to negotiate yesterday, he was extremely meticulous in arranging the people who abandoned their cars to get back on board.
Mu Zhong and his cousin Mu met with these people in batches via video conference. They discussed the difficulties they might face after abandoning their vehicles, but also informed them of more benefits after completing the third-level highway assessment.
Moreover, humans have built many cities in the public areas of the third-level highways.
There are not only cars stationed in the city, but also many buildings and jobs that can accommodate third-level assessors who do not have cars, and the salary is much higher than that of second-level roads.
Yes, without a car, there is no future to move forward.
But in reality, how many people can really move forward?
These people don't even have the ability to face the third-level highway alone. All they want at the beginning is to find some jobs on the third-level highway.
Wei Huan and Mu Zhong, one delivered a hard punch, the other one comforted carefully.
After a series of combined efforts, today's progress was extremely smooth, even smoother than the previous two days.
At 5:30 p.m., the army stopped advancing and set up camp to rest in the familiar area as required in the previous two days.
Liu Chengzhi, who had prepared dinner, first traded the crew's dinner to them, then set the table and called Wei Huan and others to eat.
Cousin Mu and Xiaozhi stayed behind to be on duty.
Wei Huan pushed Mu Zhong's wheelchair, followed by Sun Yiling, who looked at Wei Huan with more and more awe.
The dinner was plentiful but we ate in peace.
During the march, everyone was nervous and eating was just for survival. Even though Liu Chengzhi put a lot of thought into it, everyone didn't eat much.
However, halfway through the meal, the smart butler notified me that a driver had sent a video message.
Wei Huan was sitting at the dining table and opened it casually.
In the video, it was Xu Qingqiang’s face.
Xu Qingqiang had just had a hearty meal last night and looked very healthy. He said, "I want to leave the team tonight."
Wei Huan waited silently for him to continue.
Xu Qingqiang said, "I'm very sensitive to food. You know what my food is like? I dare to eat anything except humans. Even your zombies, apart from the human part, make me feel disgusted. But as a twisted lunatic, I actually think they are delicious, just like a steamed bun with fermented bean curd."
Mu Zhong, who was listening at the side, put down the chopsticks from his mouth.
Sun Yiling thought of something and frowned.
Only Liu Chengzhi's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he seemed eager to try.
Xu Qingqiang successfully disgusted everyone, and a mischievous smile appeared on his face.
He continued, "Of course, for me, taste is not important. What matters is the energy it provides me. I have a special talent for judging the energy content of food."
When Wei Huan heard this, his expression changed.
Xu Qingqiang continued, "I always feel that there is a special food aroma that is tempting me, which is more fragrant than your undead soul, so I plan to go and take a look."
Mu Zhong also thought of it and frowned: "It's a dark beast, or it could be a very powerful wandering monster. Brother Qiang, can your ability search for strong people?"
Xu Qingqiang nodded: "Yes, the smell of a strong man can reach my nose even from thousands of kilometers away. I can sense it in advance and avoid him or eat him."
After saying this, Xu Qingqiang looked deeply at Wei Huan and said, "I didn't understand what you were trying to do at first. You should have just said that you wanted to lure the Dark Beast Squad into action, and once you'd killed all the threats, you'd be safe.
If you had told me earlier, I could have given you directions.
The most fragrant scent is at the end of the road, and I also smelled a less fragrant scent in several areas along the road.
Wei Huan, do you want to go hunting?"
It was an invitation hard to refuse.
Wei Huan is not a person who waits passively. This kind of "luring the enemy into a trap" conspiracy is actually a means of turning passivity into initiative.
If he could take the initiative, he would be willing to do so.
"Okay." Wei Huan nodded without hesitation.
Mu Zhong, however, gave a warning: "If we leave the team, it might have a negative impact. We are the main leader."
Wei Huan glanced at Xu Qingqiang and saw the provocation in his eyes, as if asking him, do you dare or not?
Wei Huan was not provoked because he had nodded from the beginning.
He said to Mu Zhong, "Let cousin Mu and the others take over. We will set out after dark and return at daybreak."
Mu Zhong frowned as he looked at Xu Qingqiang. This action was not consistent with the behavior of a qualified officer.
But he is a legion officer, Wei Huan's deputy driver, and his inseparable marriage partner. They must be absolutely united in their decision-making.
Mu Zhong quickly adjusted his mindset and nodded: "Okay, I'll contact them right away."
Xu Qingqiang raised his eyebrows after receiving the reply. Before closing the communication, he said, "Can you give me two of your Xiu Rome?"
Wei Huan looked at him silently.
Xu Qingqiang didn't hide his desire: "It smells good, especially the big ones, they're full of energy."
Through the signal, Wei Huan could not see the green light in Xu Qingqiang's eyes, nor could he feel the connection when he controlled the undead.
But raising a demon is indeed what Wei Huan wants to try.
So he nodded: "Okay."
After the communication ended, Mu Chong went to work on the replacement matters without even finishing his meal.
This time, the Mu family sent two leader vehicles, one was a standard fourth-level vehicle, the other was a third-level advanced vehicle, plus two sequence four challengers.
As long as there is no attack from the Dark Beast Squad, it is more than enough for him to temporarily replace the main leader of Group B team.
Even when the country conducts general mobilization every six months, the leader's cars arranged are only of this level.
Besides, Wei Huan's active hunting of dark beasts is also a way to reduce risks.
With him facing the dark beast, the leader car left behind only had to deal with the stray monsters, and it could be a one-time solution. Mu Chong thought about it and decided that except for not complying with the rules of military operations, this was the best solution in all aspects.
"Can this Xu Qingqiang be trusted?"
Finally, there is only one question left.
"When he was 15, Challenge World arrived. His parents were selected for the highway test and never came out. That year, the country built a large number of welfare homes to adopt children who had lost their parents.
Xu Qingqiang did not take the high school entrance examination. After dropping out of school for five years, he reached the Challenge World standard and entered the Challenge World Awakening Criminal Sequence.
His useless career forced him to pursue a career as a bounty hunter. His life didn't get better until he was taken in by Sister Lu.
Xu Qingqiang's experience is pitiful, but in this era, there are many people who have experienced the same thing as him. Not only does he have a dangerous job and a paranoid personality, he also has some self-destructive tendencies and likes to take risks.
Just like he said, the places he frequents are very dangerous, which may have something to do with his hunting talent."
Cousin Mu found Xu Qingqiang's information and read it to Wei Huan.
At present, this person's credibility is not high.
However, Cousin Mu changed the subject and said, "But Xu Qingqiang is a very loyal person. The people in his car are all his companions from the welfare home. Their abilities are completely incompatible with his, but they have followed him until now. If this return was not for the risk, he should have had two weaker crew members in his car.
We also learned that before entering the Challenge World, Xu Qingqiang once said that he wanted to join the Challenge Legion, and even spent money to go to the Challenge Hall to learn the real soldier combat skills of the Farmer Sequence.
Unfortunately, the Criminal Class is the only class that cannot enter the Challenge Legion."
When cousin Mu said this, his face looked a little sad.
It’s not because of Xu Qingqiang, but for the millions of poor people like Xu Qingqiang who have great ambitions but are always fooled by fate.
"Therefore, this operation has a certain risk assessment. My suggestion is to place his two brothers in our car. I hope you can approve it."
Wei Huan looked at his cousin Mu deeply. Just when his cousin Mu thought that he had touched Wei Huan's sore spot, making him think that his methods were insidious and might even cause Wei Huan to have a grudge against the entire Mu family.
Wei Huan nodded: "Okay, tell him directly. Trust requires a foundation, but I am willing to try."
Cousin Mu's eyes lit up when he heard this. He really liked Wei Huan's personality.
Be upright and reveal your methods.
And what Wei Huan said is right, trust needs a foundation. Xu Qingqiang has cheated people before, so why should others believe him just because of empty words?
It was really comfortable to work with such a superior who listened to advice. Cousin Mu turned around and left with light steps, almost imagining every day in the future.
It's getting dark.
After dinner, everyone entered the professional temple for training.
Some people feel too tired from traveling and go to bed directly after dark.
After a few days, everyone gradually understood a truth.
When disaster strikes, there is no way to avoid it.
Challenge the world and monsters will spawn directly on your head. Even if the leader car is next to you, you will still get beaten.
So instead of being nervous and waiting for the "other shoe" to drop at any time.
It’s better to believe in your luck. As long as it’s a little better than the car next to you, that’s enough.
This idea also reveals a kind of adaptation.
Since we cannot change the overall environment, we have to adjust ourselves.
There is nothing wrong with this, it is the choice of most people.
Inside each car is a small house, which becomes a safe home at night.
Close your eyes, lie on the bed, and relax completely. Your soul will already be wandering in the temple of career.
These people did not notice that two cars flying low in the dark night completed a handover in the air.
Then a car was placed in the center of the army.
The other car slowly accelerated until it turned into a shooting star in the night and disappeared in the distance of the convoy.
Xu Qingqiang took his people and his car and went straight back to Wei Huan's car.
Not only did he not mind Wei Huan calling them back and leaving his two brothers as "hostages", but he was actually very happy that someone was taking care of his brothers.
"You guys go back to your rooms and get some rest. We'll be busy tonight. Several places smell incredibly fragrant. Do you think you can hide it from my nose? I hope it's a dark beast. High-star dark beasts taste the best."
Xu Qingqiang drove Zhou Yong and Lin Xu upstairs, and went directly to his cousin Mu and followed him into the driver's cab.
Wei Huan saw Xu Qingqiang in the cab.
After Xu Qingqiang came in, he glanced at Wei Huan who was sitting in the driver's seat.
The two of them didn't say anything. Xu Qingqiang went to his parking space and sat down. Then he collapsed as if his bones had been pulled out and he lost all his strength.
"Where is your wife?" Xu Qingqiang asked.
Wei Huan glanced at him, then looked outside the car. After picking up Xu Qingqiang, they stopped where they were, waiting for directions.
Seeing that Wei Huan ignored him, Xu Qingqiang could only say, "I mean, Captain Mu. Isn't he here tonight? The things I can find are all big things. You know that demon ruins? I just went there by smell. Ordinary junk is not worth my while."
As he said this, Xu Qingqiang's eyes fell on the black stick that Wei Huan casually placed on the edge of the operating table, and his eyes became a little lively.
He knew what it was.
Lin Xu and the others had said that Wei Huan had visited the Demon Ruins and, after a fierce battle, closed the ruins. This meant that the final treasure inside was in Wei Huan's hands: the black stick.
What level is it? Is it a legendary item? Is it a pseudo-artifact or an artifact?
The highest level of a secondary highway should only be a legend, right?
Even though it was a large relic made up of 25 treasure maps, it was hard to imagine what terrible consequences would be caused by the appearance of a god-level figure on a secondary highway.
Xu Qingqiang was able to speak properly, and Wei Huan also spoke properly. "He will be down soon, we will leave first."
"Okay, this way." Xu Qingqiang raised his hand and pointed in a direction casually, too rashly.
Cousin Mu glanced at Wei Huan, then instructed the smart butler, "Set off at full speed."
"Yes, Director Mu."
Xu Qingqiang turned his head abruptly: "Do you have a position?"
Mu cousin said: "Yes, Internal Affairs Supervisor, now that you are here, I would like to talk to you about the DKP system on the train. 95% of the supplies in the train warehouse are open to you. Once you have enough points, you can replace them at any time."
Xu Qingqiang became interested and held out his hand: "Let me see the list of supplies."
No one was not interested in the supplies in Wei Huan's car. He alone took away almost the amount of gold treasure chests that an entire legion would obtain in a year.
But compared to the legion's tens of millions of people, there are only 12 people in Wei Huan's car. The gold-level equipment is worth hundreds of millions outside, but here it only costs contribution points.
Just because of this point, after Xu Qingqiang figured it out, the idea of leaving faded a lot.
Cousin Mu gave Xu Qingqiang permission, and he could log into his system in the car and directly see the inventory.
Wei Huan blocked all the supplies in the diamond treasure chests, and Xu Qingqiang saw that the best supplies were only in the platinum treasure chests.
The first one is [Platinum Magic Flute].
Seeing this, Xu Qingqiang was so angry that his nose was crooked. The little respect he had for Wei Huansheng just now disappeared.
Pointing at the picture of the magic flute, he seemed to be asking his cousin Mu, but his eyes were actually staring straight at Wei Huan.
"I got this thing originally. Now I'm on the bus, so I'm also a member of the bus. Just give it back to me."
Cousin Mu smiled without saying anything, and Wei Huan ignored him completely.
Xu Qingqiang endured it for a moment, then sighed in a compromising manner: "Okay, I'll just give it to you as a token of my appreciation. Can you give me a 10% discount? I won't let you keep it for nothing."
"Captain, I'm talking to you. You can't expect the horse to run without giving it grass to eat. I might quit at any moment."
Without even looking up, Wei Huan ordered, "Explain the DKP system to him clearly."
Cousin Mu smiled, but his smile was already slightly oppressive: "Brother Qiang, I'll talk to you slowly."
Xu Qingqiang muttered: "The night is long, who wants to chat with only you."
But in the end, the cab became quiet again.
At this time, Wei Huan tapped the screen to contact Mu Zhong.
A second later, Mu Zhong answered the video call.
Wei Huan was about to say something, but he immediately forgot it.
Mu Zhong had just taken a shower. When he appeared on the screen, his hair was wet and strands were hanging on his forehead.
The eyes are big and round, like a cat's. When moistened with water, they are as bright as a pool of water, enough to drown a person.
But what made Wei Huan's eyes restless was the water droplets hanging on the exposed shoulders. They were like inlaid diamonds, emitting a faint starlight. Even though the camera only reached the collarbone, it already gave people endless imagination.
"I haven't finished washing yet. Do you need help?" Wei Huan's mind was a little blank.
Mu Zhong chuckled, "How can you help?"
Wei Huan blinked before realizing what he had said.
Mu Zhong used his fingers to form a comb and combed the hair on his forehead, revealing his entire forehead and his eyes.
He obviously knew that Wei Huan liked his eyes, so his eyes were always bright, staring straight at Wei Huan and drilling into his heart.
"Are we already on our way?"
"Um."
"How long?"
"Not sure." Wei Huan paused and said, "Take your time, I'm not rushing you."
"Well, I know you can handle it, but I'm done washing too." After saying that, Mu Zhong leaned forward, as if he was going to stand up. Just when Wei Huan subconsciously avoided his gaze, he realized that Mu Zhong was just reaching out to take the towel.
He has no legs and he can't stand up.
He has no legs, he can't stand up!
He couldn't stand up...
What he had known for a long time turned into thunder that struck Wei Huan's head, causing him to feel burnt and painful all over, as if his bones were shattered.
When Wei Huan came to his senses, Mu Zhong had already turned off the video.
Wei Huan leaned closer to the back of the chair, the thunderous truth still echoing in his mind from time to time.
Most of the time, Wei Huan would ignore Mu Zhong's injuries, just like his own face, he never took it to heart.
Whether it was when Mu Zhong's own pilot sequence reached level five, becoming a mecha technician and transforming himself into a cyber robot, or when the [Angel of Life] of level six appeared and helped him regenerate his broken limbs.
In today's rapidly evolving world, disability and disfigurement have never been a problem.
However, he was too focused on his own results and ignored Mu Zhong's discomfort during the process.
It's not just about sitting in a wheelchair.
Being disabled means a complete change in your entire lifestyle.
Perhaps, a towel that you could easily pick up in the past, now you can't take it off from that nail even if you try your best.
The hand stretched to the extreme, raised high in the air for a long time, and then lowered dejectedly...
It was just a simple scene, but it deeply tore into Wei Huan's heart.
The door of the cab opened, and Mu Zhong, sitting in a wheelchair, walked over slowly.
As soon as he arrived, he ran towards Wei Huan.
Smile before speaking.
Wei Huan smelled the refreshing scent of shower gel coming from his body.
But her eyes fell on his legs.
But before Mu Zhong noticed, he hurriedly looked away, his mood gloomy.
"What's wrong?" Mu Zhong noticed his mood change and went up to him to ask.
Wei Huan shook his head, unable to express his feelings. He knew that Mu Zhong never wanted sympathy.
