Chapter 359 Hunting Team

Gu Feng was communicating with No. [-] when he heard that the neighborhood outside the door suddenly became lively.

Everyone in the streets and alleys seemed to have gone out, including Lao Zhu, his daughter-in-law who was cooking in the kitchen, the two children who ate candy, and the neighbors next door. Among them was a gray-haired old woman with a cane. conspicuous.

"The hunting party is back."

"The hunting party is back."

"Let's go, go and have a look."

Gu Feng opened the door curiously, and saw Lao Zhu hurried out with his family.

"Boss, what's the big deal? Let's go and see too?"

Number Zero had already taken a step, and ran out following the two little kids, not forgetting to turn around and urge Gu Feng.

Obviously, one person and one dog were still discussing how to save themselves and the great plan to save the human beings here. The atmosphere was heavy. Unexpectedly, No. 3 changed his thoughts in an instant. As expected of a mechanical life, the depression lasted less than [-] seconds.

Gu Feng had no choice but to follow to the street to watch the excitement.

People in the block stood in two rows in an orderly manner, leaving a place for walking in the middle.

The members of the hunting team walked slowly from the middle of the road, their faces were serious, without a trace of smile, and many of them even showed sadness and exhaustion in their eyes.

The people in the hunting team are basically tall and big, about 2 meters tall, with dark skin, unlike the residents who have lived in the underground city for a long time, their faces are stained with an unhealthy paleness, which is because they have not seen the sun for a long time Performance.

The members of the hunting team probably often go on missions in the wilderness, which is why they are so tanned.

They are all muscular, wearing leather clothes, some wrapped in animal skins, and carrying all kinds of weird mechanical tools on their backs, some like mechanical knives, some like single-barreled cannons, and The clothes on them seemed a bit out of place, but there was a weird harmony.

There are also people in the team riding two heavy motorcycles, which look like modified motorcycles, and they should be responsible for exploring the road.

At the front, there are three men on horseback. Their horses are not ordinary horses, but horses with mechanically modified limbs, which looks like a classical machine.

The man in the middle is not as tall as the other members of the hunting team. He is about the same height as Gu Feng. His height of 1 meters seems a bit short in front of the big man of more than 8 meters. He has a badge on his chest, which can be seen at a glance. Come out, this is the captain, he is dressed differently from the others.

His face was stern, his facial features were clear, his eyes were indifferent, and his face showed no expression at all. His demeanor was very gloomy, as if he had returned from hell, filled with an aura that no one should enter.

The vehicle at the rear is escorted by six people. Below are 8 huge wheels. Above is a platform made of iron plates and wood. On the platform lies a fallen mammoth and several wastelands. The corpses of the wolves were all fixed on the platform with ropes.

The hunt was very successful. Mammoths and Steppenwolves are large animals that are difficult to hunt, especially mammoths. This mammoth can provide 8 tons of meat and bones, and the ivory can also be made into weapons.

Unfortunately, the hunting was not without loss. In exchange for the fruits of victory, the hunting team obviously paid a high price.

At the end of the vehicle, 8 corpses were covered with a white cloth.

The people in the city cheered for the great harvest and warmly welcomed the hunting team.

While looking for their relatives, they looked around.

Old Zhu's eyes were almost red, and he was not relieved until he saw his injured son in the team of 22 people.

The daughter-in-law supported him and comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay, Ah Wu just got hurt."

Ah Wu is Lao Zhu's son. His arm was scratched by a wild animal and he had a simple bandage. He lowered his head and walked behind the team, feeling depressed.

"You guys did a great job and brought back so many supplies."

The citizens of the street praised that none of their families could be selected as a hunting team, so they only hoped that every hunting team would have a good harvest and bring meat and supplies to the city.

"Boss, what do these people do? They are quite popular."

Zero asked in a low voice.

The people around thought it was Gu Feng who was asking the question, so they enthusiastically introduced,
"This is a hunting team. You are a foreigner at first glance. The hunting team doesn't even know it. The hunting team is the most honorable team here. It is more popular than the city defense army and security guards. Their occupation is also the most dangerous. Every time there is a hunt, there will be people sacrificed, but there is no way to do it. If the city needs supplies, they have to go out. If they don’t store more supplies, it is estimated that a quarter of the people in the city will die this winter.”

"That's right, the hunting team is our hero." The childish child clenched his fists and said seriously,

"I want to be a member of the hunting team when I grow up!"

"Silly boy, what are you talking about?"

A woman immediately covered the child's mouth, not wanting him to speak nonsense.

"Old Zhu, your son is also in the hunting team?"

Gu Feng asked.

Lao Zhu nodded immediately, and pointed to the injured member of the hunting team behind the team. He was about 1 meters tall, shorter than other members of the hunting team, but tall enough, with bronze skin, wearing a Chinese character face.

Judging by his age, he must be in his thirties.

"Awu, that's my son, Awu."

There was a trace of pride in Lao Zhu's tone, but only a trace, everything else was worry.

He took a puff of his cigarette and sighed, "I'm really a selfish person. Xingqing is not my son lying on it. It's too dangerous for Ah Wu to engage in this industry. I wish he would inherit my career as a tour guide."

His daughter-in-law also bowed her head, as if she was ashamed of having such an idea.

There were only two innocent children who kept waving at A Wu.

"Daddy, Daddy, we're here!"

Ah Wu turned his head and saw the children, his gloomy mood dissipated a little, and he showed a helpless smile. He didn't immediately step forward to hug the children, because the team was still moving forward, and the supplies needed to be sent to the warehouse in the city first, and then to go home.

As for the distribution of loot, that is a matter of days.

Suddenly, the white-haired old woman squeezed into the crowd and rushed to the leader of the hunting team.

"Amin, where is my Amin?"

The old woman's muddy eyes were already filled with tears. She just waited and watched many times in the crowd, and counted back and forth many times, but she didn't see her son.

The hunting captain with a stern face lowered his head slightly and said nothing.

The team members who were also riding horses beside him also lowered their heads, and at the same time looked at the vehicle at the rear.

Immediately the old woman staggered to the rear, and the line came to a halt.

More people who did not find their relatives rushed forward and came to the rear of the vehicle.

The old woman lifted the white cloth and saw the unrecognizable corpse on the car.

She slumped on the ground in disbelief, "No, this is not Amin, this is not Amin."

"Amin suffered a severe blow to the head and there was no way we could recover him."

A member of the hunting team responsible for escorting the vehicle explained in a low voice, while tilting his head, not daring to look at the old woman.

Suddenly, there was a burst of crying in the lively street.

For those families who lost their loved ones, the cries covered the cheers around them, making the atmosphere instantly depressing.

The old woman got up from the ground, lying on Amin's bloody body and crying loudly.

Among the weeping crowd, a five-year-old child rushed to the hunting captain, picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at him,
"You give back my father, you give me back my father!"

"team leader."

Someone immediately stepped forward to stop it.

The hunting captain waved his hand, indicating that it was all right.

This kind of stone will not hurt him.

But there was a bloodstain on his forehead.

There was still no expression on his face, and he didn't even look at the child who threw the stone.

"Keep going."

The deputy captain spoke immediately.

All members of the hunting team continued to move forward, and the original warm welcome changed.

The crowd on the street gradually dispersed.

Lao Zhu sighed again, and said to Gu Feng, "Every time you hunt, people will die. This happens every time. There is no way. This is our living situation. We hide in the dungeon and dare not go anywhere."

"Is the main task of the hunting team to bring back food?"

Gu Feng asked.

"Not all of them. Every time I go out, the tasks are different. Some are simply hunting wild animals, preparing food for winter, and some are exploring the wilderness to find a more suitable place to live in."

Old Zhu explained,
"Although our underground city has a history of more than 200 years, it will inevitably be discovered by the dragon clan one day. At that time, we will have no way to escape. The dragon clan is the most terrifying natural enemy for us. They have advanced weapons. We also have the Dragon Guard, just send a few dragons over, and our dungeon will be finished."

"There don't seem to be many people in the hunting team."

Gu Feng compared the population of the block with the team of 30 people.

Old Zhu shook his head, "Their selection is very harsh. Physical strength is only the basic requirement. They also need to go through strict training competitions. 10000 people will be selected, and only 1000 people will be left in the end. These 1000 people are not They will all join the hunting team, as well as the city defense army and security team. The security team is responsible for guarding the security and safety of the city, while some of the city defense army will guard outside the city, and some will guard the city lord's mansion, and the hunting team will be responsible for outside work."

"Every time a mission is carried out, there will be casualties. 30 people go on a field mission at a time, and 8 people died this time, which is worse than the last time. Only 2 people died last time."

Lao Zhu's daughter-in-law added.

The attention of the two children has shifted to the mechanical dog Zero, probably because the father did not take the initiative to hug them. It is normal for their curiosity to be attracted by the talking mechanical dog.

"Mom, this dog is amazing."

"Mom, can I ride my dog?"

"No, this is a guest's pet."

The daughter-in-law immediately grabbed the two children.

"It's only going to get worse because winter is coming."

Lao Zhu took another puff of his cigarette and found that there was no more tobacco left, leaving only endless sadness in his heart.

He only hopes that he can save enough money as soon as possible so that his son can retire and stop being a hunter.

His son has no special talent in his eyes. Every time he comes back from a mission, he is wounded, either here or there. If he hadn't married early and gave birth to two children, Lao Zhu would have He would not want him to participate in any hunting team selection.

He doesn't like the old lady who sends a white-haired man to a black-haired man.

Old Zhu tied the pipe to the belt wrapped around his waist, and waved to the two children.

"Go and comfort your neighbor, Grandma Bai."

The two children were considered sensible, so they nodded and went to find Grandma Bai with candy.

Grandma Bai is now sitting slumped on the ground, deeply saddened by the death of her child A Ming.

The two children rushed over, and the elder brother took out the candy and handed it to the grandmother.

"Grandma Bai, don't cry, brother Ming won't come back, we can take care of you in the future."

"Grandma Bai, eat candy, this candy is really sweet."

The younger sister also took out the candies that she was unwilling to eat.

Grandma Bai stretched out her arms to hug the two children, crying even more sadly.

Old Zhu sighed again, and said to Gu Feng, "Grandma Bai's child, Bai Ming, also died in this mission. That child is an orphan, picked up by Grandma Bai, who is righteous and often helps our neighbors. Grandma also has a hard life, she has been lonely and widowed all her life, and she finally got such an adopted son, and now she is taken away by God, ah, this is the way of the world."

Gu Feng frowned slightly. Were all these tragedies caused indirectly by himself?

His heart was stained with a cloud, full of self-blame.

This is still living in a stable underground city. People have to face such a situation. What about the wilderness?What about the ranch?What about Paradise?
Lao Zhu's daughter-in-law also stepped forward to comfort the grandmother.

Lao Zhu greeted Gu Feng, "Let's go, guest, you must be hungry, we can go back to eat, life is going to go on, isn't it?"

The old tour guide was very open-minded and began to comfort Gu Feng.

He was good at observing words and expressions, and noticed Gu Feng's sad expression, and reaffirmed that he must not be a person from the wilderness.

Wilderness has long since grown numb to such things.

"It's just that there is no meat in the meals. If you are willing to stay for a few more days, it will be 3 days. After 3 days, Ah Wu will definitely bring the allocated spoils. There must be mammoth bones in it. At that time, I can make bone soup for you. Then But delicious."

"You must want to know why there is no mammoth meat, right? Those are all supplies to be reserved for winter, and cannot be distributed casually, even for a contributor like Ah Wu."

"Don't worry, we will use the best ingredients to entertain our guests, and we will definitely not let you suffer."

Old Zhu started chattering again to divert his attention.

Gu Feng listened to his nagging, and returned to Lao Zhu's home with Number Zero.

Old Zhu went into the kitchen on his own, and brought out the meal made by his daughter-in-law.

When the daughter-in-law came back with 2 children, the family just had dinner.

"Aren't you waiting for Ah Wu?"

Zero asked, it already knew that the mainstay of the family, the male hunter, was named A Wu.

"Awu eats in the hunting team, he eats better than us."

Old Zhu said with a smile, seeing the delicious food, the old man has regained his good mood.

This is probably the reason why he can live for so long without illness or pain, and he is good at transforming emotions.

Gu Feng buried his head and started to eat. The food here is not delicious, not even comparable to the quick-frozen food on the spaceship, but the whole family ate very happily, and they didn't think the food was unpalatable at all.
