Greg's eyes flashed. The "Mission from Beach City" was the reward he issued to capture Wu Qi alive. This incident is one of the few events that can distract Greg from the artificial pioneer plan.
"Show it to me."
Xiang Keping trotted over and handed over the report. Greg glanced at it for a few times and snorted coldly.
"A mere fifth-level mercenary group was so trusting that they sent two second-level pioneers to arrest people, but none of them came back alive. What a waste of time!"
Greg was so angry that he stuffed the paper back into Xiang Keping's hand. Xiang Keping lowered his head and looked at it. It was a mission failure report written by the leader of the Gray Eagle Mercenary Group.
The Gray Eagle Mercenary Group suffered huge losses in this mission. The leader and other members of the mercenary group were engaged in another important mission, and the time limit exceeded, so they simply gave up on this mission.
No wonder the Doctor is angry. Xiang Keping thought. He stamped the word "waste" on the Gray Eagle Mercenary Group in his heart.
This result shows that when observing Wu Qi's strength, we must no longer use the word "pure human". He must be treated as a second-level pioneer with extremely strong comprehensive qualities.
"Greg, what happened?" Renee said suddenly. Her voice was gentle and pleasant, and her tone was pure concern. There was a warm and soft feeling in Greg's ears.
Greg immediately put on a warm smile. Before he spoke, a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, and he subconsciously put the two things together.
Rather than making special arrangements, it's better to go with the flow. Greg looked at Renee and said with expectation: "Renee, the preparation is over. Now you need an actual battle that combines survival in the wild to help you fully experience the full range of your body's capabilities."
Whatever Greg said, Renee would have a natural sense of recognition. She simply asked: "What actual combat?"
Greg did not shy away from the members of Greg's team. He said directly: "Help me capture a person alive. That is a very important biological individual, no less important than McDonald."
Greg did not say "must" or "certainly" and other emphatic words. As soon as the word "McDonald" came out, all the members of Greg's team, including Renee, were shocked and their expressions became solemn.
Renee clearly felt Greg's intense desire that overflowed. The moment she agreed, there was no tension or burden, only a strong sense of mission and the obsession to complete the mission.
The first half of Renee's life was blank. She only knew that Greg was her reborn parent. Everyone in Greg's group valued her and devoted all their energy to helping her become better. Because of this, all Greg needs is a chance for her to give back.
"Renee will definitely do it." Renee's beautiful blue eyes burst out with a fascinating light.
"Okay. Dorothy, you are responsible for helping Renee choose equipment. Xiang Keping, your task is to accompany Renee and keep actual combat records."
Xiang Keping was suddenly clicked and pointed his index finger at himself. He was stunned for half a second and then felt extremely happy.
"Yes, I will definitely live up to the doctor's trust!"
... ...
Whether it is east, west, north or south, the eternal themes of the wilderness are desolation and death.
After Wu Qi, Guo Baibo, Gao Yuan and Qi Qi walked out of the mountains, they walked in the vast wilderness for three days. They didn't have a map and didn't know which direction to go before they would encounter a "safe zone" or other human gathering place, so they kept heading north.
It should be said that their luck was very bad. The three of them walked for three days in a row without encountering a human gathering place similar to a safe zone, not even a single refugee. The environment in the wilderness is a hundred times worse than that in the deep mountains and old forests. Not only was it difficult to find a less polluted river, but the scorching sun also dominated the sky, exploiting their physical energy with heat and dryness.
After walking for a few days, Wu Qi and others only saw the sky full of yellow sand and a few old trees that had been dead for who knows how long. The food and water in the backpacks of the three of them have been exhausted. If this continues, one of them may fall down first.
At this time, Wu Qi saw an endless horizon in front of him. The other side of the horizon was as clean as ever, with no signs of any buildings.
The wind blew, and a human skull was exposed in the wasteland covered by yellow sand. Several people saw it.
"Wait a minute." Wu Qi shouted.
He walked up to the human skull, bent down and dug through the sand and dust that buried the skull, and then discovered a complete human skeleton.
The "clothes" of the skeleton were just a few patchwork pieces of rough rags. When Wu Qi opened the rags covering the skeleton, he saw an extremely disgusting scene.
There was no flesh and blood on the head, back, arms, and legs of the corpse. The abdomen that was supposed to hold the internal organs was empty, but there was a layer of rotten skin and pitted flesh underneath, buried in the yellow sand.
When the other two people saw the extremely impactful scene, Guo Baibo instinctively covered his mouth for fear of vomiting.
Wu Qi looked through the corpse's clothes pockets expressionlessly, but unfortunately they were empty.
"Boss, these are the skeletons of refugees. Nothing can be found, and they are all mutated corpse bacteria." Gao Yuan reminded. There is a way to die in this wilderness. A thirsty and hungry person who cannot survive goes to dig through the clothes of a dead body. As a result, he is scratched by the bones of the dead body, and then becomes infected with mutated corpse bacteria and dies.
"Don't worry." Wu Qi said. He inspected the skeleton and found from the characteristics of the skeleton that the person was a woman between 35 and 37 years old. She was clearly lying face down when she died, but her arms were folded in front of her chest.
Wu Qi saw some clues, then pulled out his long knife and inserted it into the thick sand. Using the long knife as a shovel, he shoveled away the sand under the woman's skeleton.
Sure enough, there was a little boy in the arms of the woman's skeleton. The little boy was wearing the same rag clothes. His skin was dry, his body was stiff and blue, and his mouth and nose were filled with a lot of sand. He was obviously dead.
The little boy was still a corpse.
Wu Qi remembered that there was a sandstorm in the wilderness the day before. Fortunately, they were outside the movement path of the sandstorm, so they were lucky not to be buried by the yellow sand.
"I think our situation will improve soon." Wu Qi said suddenly.
"Why?" Guo Baibo asked.
Even though their situation has become increasingly difficult these days, Wu Qi has never said such a thing. Wu Qi is not someone who knows how to quench his thirst by looking at plum blossoms. He always believes in his word.
"This woman was bitten to death by a group of hyenas. Before she died, she protected her child tightly and prevented the hyenas from eating her child. Because they could not outrun the hyenas, the only chance of her child's survival was for the hyenas to eat enough and leave. "Unfortunately, the hyena killed the woman and was feasting on her flesh when a sandstorm came, and the yellow sand buried all the women and children." Wu Qi explained his reasoning.
"Hyena!" Gao Yuan seemed to understand what Wu Qi meant, and his eyes lit up.
"Yeah. Hyenas are very territorial, social animals. This woman and child invaded the hyena's territory and became the hyena's food. And now we have also invaded the territory of that group of hyenas. We will soon If there is meat to eat, there must be water sources with low pollution nearby." Wu Qi said with certainty.
