Zero opened his eyes, bounced off the ground, and quickly swept his foot, stirring up the sand and rocks on the ground to knock out the campfire. The sound of gunshots and roars changed from subtle to intense, as if the battle in the distance was approaching, which was undoubtedly a kind of trouble. For trouble, Zero has only two approaches. One is to avoid it, and the other is to end it as soon as possible.
Given the sounds of battle, Zero heard that the situation seemed to be against the human side, and he planned to do them a favor. In the wilderness, unless it is a clear hostile relationship, there is no need to expressly state the rules for supporting the same kind.
After waking up Moni and letting her and Lala stay in the tent and not come out, Zero swept towards the battlefield like a ghost. The battlefield was not far from his camp. When he was less than one kilometer away, he saw a group of people fighting and fleeing on the road under the dark night. Among the team were two off-road vehicles and several carriages pulled by mutated two-headed horses. The carriages were covered with thick tarpaulins, as if they were transporting some kind of goods.
It looks like this is a caravan.
At the back of the caravan, more than a dozen guards were using automatic rifles to repel the invading corpse wolves. These scavenging beasts are nocturnal, and it looks like the caravans are out of luck. From the perspective of zero, there are two to three hundred strong male wolves behind the road, attacking the caravan one after another.
Although the firepower of the caravan temporarily suppressed the attack of the wolves, when the ammunition was exhausted, judging from the daggers and machetes carried by the guards, they were not sharp weapons against the wolves.
After observing for a while, Zero felt that something was wrong. The attacks of the wolves seemed too regular. As we all know, wolves live in packs. And when hunting, they will show a higher degree of organization than other wild animals. But the wolves attacking the caravan could no longer be described as organized. Their waves of violent but short-lived attacks were like a well-trained army. This is not the fighting wisdom that wolves should have.
Zero was taken aback, the behavior of the pack of wolves reminded him of the group of living corpses he saw in Silverwood City two years ago. At that time, these living corpses had already shown intelligence that they shouldn't have, and even formed the embryonic form of society. And now, this group of corpse wolves let Zero see the fighting style of marching and fighting, which made him think of the word evolution.
The evolution of life is not only manifested in the level of power. Occasionally, it also manifests itself intellectually. The latter is far more valuable than the former, and Zero can't imagine what the world will be like when living corpses, corpse wolves, or other monsters have wisdom. What is certain is that the living space of human beings will inevitably shrink further, and the world at that time will be more cruel than it is now.
Concentrate your mind, Zero is not a philosopher, let alone a politician. It's not his turn to worry about these big topics, and it seems more important to help the caravan resolve this crisis right now. Zero circled around and headed towards the rear of the wolves without making a sound.
Campbell rested the cross on his forehead, and sitting on the off-road vehicle, he sincerely prayed for the apparition of God to help him overcome this disaster.
Campbell was approaching fifty, but by wilderness standards he was in his prime. Although his hair has long since turned gray and his muscles have begun to slack, he still has the vigor of a young man. It is for this reason that Campbell is one of the best adventure merchants on this coast.
The adventurous merchant is a business that only appeared after the cataclysm. After the land became dangerous, there are still wealthy people who are willing to take risks in the business of selling goods from the south to the north. These businessmen who walk the land all year round and wander between various bases and companies are called adventurous businessmen.
In the turbulent era, except for large companies like the Parkland Conglomerate, which have the ability to transport materials independently, other companies do not have this ability. Therefore, adventure merchants came into being. They sometimes bring materials that are not available locally from distant places, or carry out long-distance trade between companies, and some merchants even buy strange creatures from the southwestern land and bring them to the coastline for sale. And this kind of businessman also has another name, people call them monster brokers.
Campbell is one such monster agent.
People always have a very wonderful desire to control, especially those with high positions and powers. In this turbulent era, having a large number of human subordinates and subjects can no longer satisfy the needs of the big men, and their rough desires always make them willing to buy some ferocious and dangerous monsters from Campbell as pets. Even though some unlucky ones are killed by their own pets every year, Campbell's business has never stagnated because of this.
This time he bought some good stuff from the southwest land, including a rare monster. That thing, Campbell, believed it could fetch a good price, but of course, not everyone could afford it. So this time Camber intends to be greedy. He will go to Eternal Night City, where the Dark Council is located. The leaders of the Council must be interested in studying this rare species from the depths of the Southwest.
It is said that in order to capture this monster, the adventure team who sold it to Campbell paid the price of almost extinction. And such a monster is indeed unprecedented. But before arriving at Eternal Night City, Kanjian also planned to give this monster a tour. On the one hand, it would spread the word about Eternal Night City, and on the other hand, it could make more money. As the saying goes, kill two birds with one stone, why not do it.
In Camber's itinerary, Titan City not far from here is one of the must-pass bases. And from the southwestern land back to the coastline, Campbell has been unable to eat or sleep well. What he wants most is to enter a safe base and have a good sleep. At this moment when Titan City is in sight, he will let the team drive overnight.
Since he is an adventurous businessman, Campbell will naturally not be defenseless at all. In fact, a mercenary called "Arctic Fox" served him all year round. This mercenary team is full of veterans who have been fighting for many years. Among them, the captain and adjutant of the mercenary are still abilities at the fourth and third levels. Although their abilities are not very powerful * specialization and reconnaissance abilities in the perception domain, they rarely made mistakes during the period of guarding Campbell, so Campbell has no intention of changing people.
But tonight, the ever-experienced arctic fox was beaten to the ground by a group of hungry corpse wolves. In Campbell's business history, monsters like corpse wolves were not even worth selling. A monster like this can be killed after a few shots.
But now, the arctic fox seems to have been fighting for too long, which makes Camber's not brave heart shrouded in a shadow of panic.
Adventurous merchants dare to walk dangerous lands, depending on their greed for wealth, rather than courage to face any danger!
