Chapter 104 Picking Up a Corpse



To the other hunters, their vice-captain, who seemed confident of victory, suddenly looked at Zhao Gang, who was shaking hands with him, with extreme fear.

Then the light in his eyes quickly dimmed, their clasped hands loosened, and he sat down on the ground with a thud, like a mindless puppet, standing there blankly.

Zhao Gang's eyes darkened as he learned from the 'deputy commander's memories' that the hunters had no intention of letting him leave alive once they caught up with him.

As for the so-called questioning, it was just a high-sounding excuse.

The reason they were searching for their three missing teammates was simply because the three had told them about the evolution of the persimmon fruit before they disappeared.

This group of people didn't want the persimmons to benefit others, so they actively searched for them.

They decided to give chase, not just to read his memories and search for the whereabouts of his three teammates.

They also wanted to take all the goods from his van, including his chubby-looking baby.

Because there are many people in the city who are willing to spend a lot of money to buy other people's cubs and raise them as their own.

Upon learning the aforementioned information, Zhao Gang remained completely unmoved.

He felt immense anger only when he read about these people's covetousness towards his own cubs!

While the female hunter and her companions were still puzzled by the vice-captain's strange behavior, Zhao Gang's blood tentacles had already reached them from behind.

A silent, one-sided massacre ended quickly.

Yin Lan, who was secretly peeking through the rearview mirror, only saw six plumes of blood mist rise up, and then all the people in front of Zhao Gang disappeared.

Only one blood-dripping tentacle remained, twirling in mid-air.

After shaking off all the dirty blood, the tentacles extended and flew towards the van, tapping lightly twice on the glass window next to Zhao Xiaoxiu.

Zhao Xiaoxiu was overjoyed, quickly took off her seatbelt, opened the car door, and jumped out.

Off to pick up the corpse!

As expected of a member of the Great Hunting Group, the guns and ammunition they used were all top-notch. Zhao Xiaoxiu picked them all up and gathered them together, then had the tentacles pack them into the truck.

Besides their weapons, their shoes were also high-quality military-grade insulated boots. Zhao Xiaoxiu didn't mind at all and strung them all together to take with her.

When Dad has time, he can turn them into cotton shoes, and we can ask the neighbors if they need any extras.

Zhao Xiaoxiu already had many cold weapons at home, so she no longer thought much of the knives in the hands of these hunters.

But as long as it's metal, it can be recycled. I can take it to the recycling station next time I go to the city to exchange it for some points, so I packed it up and put it in the car.

Because the decision to go out to chase the father and daughter was made suddenly and on short notice, the hunters did not carry any food or medicine, which Zhao Xiaoxiu found quite regrettable.

I thought I was going to find some delicious snacks.

After picking up everything, Zhao Xiaoxiu stood obediently to the side, waiting for her father to clean up all the traces.

All the oil was drained from the motorcycles, and all the good parts were removed. Soon, the three motorcycles were reduced to a pile of scrap metal.

Zhao Gang rubbed the body and threw it, along with the six scattered corpses, into the roadside bushes.

In less than an hour, the mutated animals that passed by were able to clean up the traces.

After everything was settled, when the father and daughter returned to the car, Zhao Xiaoxiu gave Yin Lan a handgun that she had specially selected.

Yin Lan's lips twitched: "...Thank you."

"You...you're actually a pretty nice person," she said awkwardly. She was so terrified by the scene of the rising blood mist that she was almost incoherent.

Zhao Xiaoxiu smiled sweetly, "You're welcome."

After fastening his seatbelt, he happily said to Zhao Gang in front of him, "Dad, let's go!"

The van restarted, but still moved at a snail's pace of no more than forty miles per hour.

Because of a delay on the road, the three of them arrived at Territory No. 13 at 5:30 pm.

It was getting dark, so the installation work could not begin until tomorrow morning.

Upon hearing the car, Sister Monkey immediately rushed out of the greenhouse behind the house to greet the father and daughter.

Yin Lan arrived at the planting area after a bumpy ride and was feeling unwell. She had just gotten out of the car to get some fresh air when she saw a large monkey with golden-brown fur baring its teeth and claws rushing towards her. Instinctively, she pulled out the pistol that Zhao Xiaoxiu had just given her and was about to fire.

"Aunt Yin Lan, please don't!" Zhao Xiaoxiu shouted urgently to stop her.

She quickly jumped out of the car, and just after explaining that Sister Monkey was an evolved macaque with human-like intelligence and her friend, she turned around and bumped into Sister Monkey's warm and strong embrace.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

The monkey sister cried out excitedly; she had missed her cub terribly all day!

Zhao Xiaoxiu was held tightly by two ape arms, looking utterly hopeless.

After Monkey Sister had hugged, kissed, and yelled at him enough, Zhao Xiaoxiu finally found an opportunity to pull out that suffocating embrace.

Monkey Sister happily bounced around the van, but Zhao Gang grabbed her and conscripted her. Together, the two of them unloaded everything from the van and carried it into the house.

The refrigerator was placed in the kitchen on the first floor, while the television was moved to the living room of the suite on the second floor at Zhao Xiaoxiu's insistence.

The electrical wires, other plugs, sockets, and light bulbs were all initially placed in the tool room.

As for the salvaged guns, ammunition, and diesel fuel, they were put into the storage room and kept as stockpiles.

After all the goods were moved, it was 6 p.m. and completely dark.

Solar-powered lights were set up inside, illuminating the living room brightly. With the door closed, the cold wind was completely kept out.

Yin Lan had already silently toured the area in front of and behind the house. Accustomed to living within high walls, she felt very insecure looking at the barren wasteland around her.

I also admire Zhao Gang and his group of lords from the bottom of my heart.

Anyway, if it were her, she would rather live in a cramped basement behind high walls than come to this wasteland to cultivate the land.

It's alright during the day, but at night it's pitch black, you can't see your hand in front of your face. There's no light around except for this house. Just imagining it gives you a strong sense of loneliness.

Zhao Gang went to the kitchen to boil water, water that he had brought back from the six hunters.

Boil the water and pour it into a pure white ceramic bowl. Bring it to the living room, place it on a small table, and nod to Yin Lan, who was stomping her feet and rubbing her hands because of the cold. "Drink hot water."

"Thank you." Yin Lan withdrew her gaze from the dark earth outside the window, picked up the hot water and warmed her hands and face before slowly drinking it while blowing on it.

After drinking a mouthful of hot water, her body slowly warmed up from the inside out, and she finally felt a little better.

There was no second bed in the house, so Zhao Xiaoxiu and Sister Hou brought down a clean old quilt and placed it on the sofa in the living room.

Yin Lan has had to make do on the sofa for the past two nights.

She brought her own sleeping bag, so she wasn't afraid of the cold. She just strongly requested that she sleep in a place with a door.

"Isn't this the door?" Zhao Gang pointed to the aluminum alloy door of his house and looked at Yin Lan, puzzled.

Yin Lan: "..." She was starting to doubt whether Zhao Gang could understand human speech!

She had to clarify her needs again: "I need a small, separate room with walls and a door."

Instead of this empty hall with only one door.

If a mutant were to break in one night, she could lie perfectly still on the bare sofa in the living room, making her incredibly easy to kill.
