Ruthless Seeker

"Brother Gu, we are finally here." Liu Wu came to Gu Zhuo's side with a smile.

"The third team is getting more and more aggressive, and they are openly provocative." Zhang Lang said angrily.

"But this training method has indeed allowed us to make a lot of progress." Gu Zhuo said.

"Alas!" Zhang Lang sighed helplessly...

In the blink of an eye, another two months have passed. "This is the final trial. Everyone acts separately. Everyone has to hunt a prey in the woods by himself. After success, you will be a qualified hunter."

Liu Er gave a lecture at the entrance of the village.

The third team still needs to train, so this time the entire second team except Liu Er will participate.

Everyone in the second team is full of passion, and they will soon become qualified hunters respected by everyone in the village.

"Now I announce the start of the trial!" Following Liu Er's order, everyone rushed into the woods.

The area planned for this competition is a shallow forest. Although there are few large prey, there is almost no danger.

Letting them go to the deep zone alone would be the same as committing suicide, so Liu Er and others were not too worried about this trial.

This trial is mainly to train the members' ability to deal with emergencies alone, and try to prevent them from being unable to protect themselves once they are dispersed.

"After today's test, they can stand alone. They are the future of our village!" The village chief suddenly appeared behind Liu Er and said happily.

"They will become the hope of the village, and our village will prosper!" Liu Er also sighed.

This trial was child's play for Gu Zhuo. He wandered aimlessly in the woods.

Soon he found a young elk, and it was just a matter of drawing a bow and shooting arrows, a set process.

The elk was shot straight through and died without even a chance to resist.

Then Gu Zhuo dragged the deer around here. He also saw some teammates on the road, but Gu Zhuo just looked at them from a distance and left.

Gu Zhuo found that most of the members were very cautious, or very timid.

They used to hunt together and they were all confident. Now alone, they feel they can do it, but when they get to the woods, they suddenly lose confidence.

Gu Zhuo saw with his own eyes that a team member had clearly discovered an old wolf who had left the team, but he did not dare to take action.

Watching the old wolf leave, the team member breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "I was scared to death."

All we can say is that the second hunting team is thriving!

While wandering in the woods, Gu Zhuo relied on his keen eyes to catch two more rabbits.

Suddenly a footprint on the ground attracted Gu Zhuo's attention.

The footprints were in the shape of a plum blossom, obviously the footprints of a wild boar, but the footprints were terrifyingly large, about half a meter in diameter and 5 centimeters deep.

Obviously this was the wild boar that Gu Zhuo attracted that day!

Gu Zhuo instantly became alert. It was still risky for him to deal with the wild boar now.

Through observation, he found that the direction of the wild boar was exactly the direction of the village.

"What a coincidence? The village is going to be destroyed, so let's go back later." Gu Zhuo said helplessly, and then found a secluded place to start practicing.

Gu Zhuo waited until it was almost dark before returning to the village.

Gu Zhuo smelled the smell of blood before he entered the village, and Gu Zhuo moved forward cautiously.

Liu Er had already disappeared at the entrance of the village.

The village was in a mess, the grass walls of the village were knocked down, and the ground was full of blood. It was obvious that there was a big battle in the village.

Gu Zhuo continued to touch forward and saw that the trap in the village had been triggered. There was a blood stain in the trap but no wild boar carcass.

It seems that the trap only scratches the surface of the injury, and it is obviously not a fatal injury.

Some of the sharp wooden sticks in the trap still had blood stains on them, showing the intensity of the battle.

Gu Zhuo speculated that the wild boar fell into the trap. Due to its exaggerated weight, it was injured by the sharp wooden sticks in the pit, but it still escaped.

Then Gu Zhuo walked forward for a while and heard crying.

Then what came into view was a row of corpses, old and young.

The returning members of the second team cried out in pain.

No one in the village was spared.

The incident happened suddenly and no one expected it. It was fine in the morning, some people were joking with their families, but at night it turned into a hell on earth.

"Who did this? What should we do?" Zhang Lang said in anger and confusion.

No one can answer this question. Even the always brave Liu Wu fell silent.

After all, they had never experienced a big storm, so they suddenly became overwhelmed when encountering a major event.

"The village is dead. We should go to the nearest town first. Then we will investigate the murderer and take revenge!" Gu Zhuo stepped forward and said decisively.

"Boss Gu!" Zhang Lang rushed towards Gu Zhuo and cried bitterly.

After listening to Gu Zhuo's words, the others seemed to have found a backbone and managed to cheer up.

"But we have never left the village, how do we know how to get to the nearest town?" one person said negatively.

This is what everyone is worried about. They have been living in the village and don’t know the way.

"I have studied with the village chief's grandfather. I know the nearby towns. The village chief has a map at home. As long as I am given time to study, I can find the way. We buried our family and set off when we are ready."

Gu Zhuo showed his leadership ability at this time.

No one disagreed.

In the next month, they dug a big pit to bury all the dead, erected monuments for all the dead, and then began to pack up useful things in the village.

The grain stored in the grain depot, the weapon depot and the weapons added by Zhang Blacksmith, as well as the gold and silver coins of each family.

There are too many things at the back, so you can only take the best weapons and throw away the others. The food that can be stored is more expensive, and the food that cannot be stored is eaten quickly.

Gu Zhuo did not participate, but just went to the village chief's house to take out the map, and then stayed at home in isolation on the grounds that he needed to design a familiar route...

"We will leave here tomorrow and go to bed early today." Gu Zhuo said slowly. His eyes were full of dark circles, and it looked like he hadn't had much rest in the past month.

"Boss Gu, you should also pay attention to rest," Zhang Lang reminded. Other members were also deeply moved.

"I'm fine. Only by being well prepared can you ensure safety." Gu Zhuo smiled slightly, added a few words and let them disperse.

It's late at night and everyone is asleep.

At Zhang Lang's house, Zhang Lang had already fallen asleep, but a man stood next to him, it was Gu Zhuo.

A look of worry flashed across his face, and the next moment Gu Zhuo held a dagger and slit Zhang Lang's throat. Zhang Lang suddenly woke up, but he was unable to save himself. He could only struggle and make a "drink" sound.

Blood spurted out from his neck, and he stopped moving after a while.

Before his death, he didn't even know who killed him.

Gu Zhuo continued to the next house...

It's dawn, and the sun gradually rises from the east. Like a slow old man, it slowly opens its eyes, and then slowly spreads the sunlight to the earth.

It was supposed to be a bustling time at sunrise, but the village was eerily quiet.

The village is full of ruins and a mess. Gu Zhuo stood in the village indifferently, and all the second team members were dead.

The bodies of the second team members were piled together.

All the supplies they had painstakingly collected were completely plundered by Gu Zhuo.

A suit of clothes made of fine leather, a dagger given by Blacksmith Zhang, a 200-pound bow and arrows, a sword named Yuan, and a pile of gold and silver. Gu Zhuo can be said to be fully armed.

That's what it means to get rich overnight.

"Okay, we have the test subjects, and we can start the experiment. Stand up!" Gu Zhuo suddenly shouted.

A strange black air rose from Gu Zhuo's body, and the temperature dropped instantly. The black air slowly floated out and slowly wrapped the bodies of the second team.

The dead bodies of the second team began to squirm strangely, and the wounds on their necks gradually healed.

Each corpse began to struggle violently as if coming back from the dead. As one corpse gradually stood up, the other corpses also stood up. The atmosphere is very eerie.

Their eyes were empty and lifeless, as if they had lost their souls, without any emotion or expression. They were like walking zombies whose life force had been drained out of them.

For a while, there was a bit of a cold atmosphere in the sunny morning.
