The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 151: Underworld (5K monthly ticket required)
After finishing her shower, Gu Yueming, feeling fragrant all over, walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a bathrobe.

She sat on the round stool sofa next to the bed and began to carry out daily activities such as cutting her nails and cleaning her ears in a relatively leisurely manner.

This feeling of comfort continued until she saw Gu Pan rushing in with a murderous look on his face.

Snapped!
A poster rolled up into a round shape like a scabbard was thrown in front of her.

"Panpan?" Gu Yueming subconsciously retracted his feet.

If I didn't know that all the sword masters of the Gu family had an expression as if everyone in the world owed me five million, I would have thought that they were here for a duel.

Gu Pan added expressionlessly, "Starting tomorrow, I will go hunting at the edge of the wasteland."

"Where are we going?" Gu Yueming asked subconsciously.

"You will know tomorrow. Together with people from several other associations." Gu Pan said.

The tone she used was naturally not that of an adopted daughter towards her adoptive mother, but rather an order from a sword master to a sword servant. It was guidance and command, so it could not be refused.

In fact, according to the rules of the Administration, extraordinary people usually stay in the safe zone to improve their levels. Only after reaching level 12 will they leave the safe zone to explore the new land freely.

However, the Gu family is very special. After passing through the initial "inheritance" stage at an extremely fast speed, they will enter the wasteland to look for opportunities to further cultivate their swordsmanship through the trials between life and death, in preparation for advancing to the second level in the future.

All of the Gu family's sword masters follow the second-level 'weapon master' path of martial artists, which requires them to nourish their qi by using the essence of the flesh and blood of alien creatures.

Therefore, every member of the Gu family would carry out hunting activities in advance when they reached the first level, in order to fill the vacancy in the Jianqi Chongxiao Hall.

If you want to have an endless supply of blood and flesh essence in the future, you must make sufficient contributions during the first stage. There must be both inflow and outflow, and no bad debts. This is their special rule.

"So, Auntie, get ready and come with me. The conditions in the wasteland are bad, so you'd better not... dress like that."

Gu Pan pointed to the black stockings, high heels, white shirt, etc. in the frame next to her.

After saying this, he raised his head and went back to his room with a proud look on his face.

Leaving behind Gu Yueming who was stunned.

After a while, she glanced at Gu Pan's chest, which was wrapped so tightly that the width could not be seen at all, and muttered to herself, "Hehehe, the little girl has been extraordinary for a few days, and she dares to show disdain to her aunt. She is not as obedient as before~ Sigh, is it another round of the Sword Master going out of the city for life and death training and challenging his own limits?"

The proud look of her adopted daughter reminded her of an old friend.

She reached out and picked up the poster, unfolded it and took a look. On it was some news from the military, which mentioned that recently a large number of alien species suddenly appeared in the wasteland along the northeastern border of the wasteland, occupied it for a day and then disappeared.

This matter has attracted great attention from the top leaders of the Governing Bureau, who suspect that some large-scale ruins may be about to appear in the northeast corner.

I think that the Gu family, one of the three heads of the Hunter Association, has also received a transfer order from the Administration Bureau to send some people to help find out what is going on.

The Hunter Association is not just about hunters. Occasionally, they also have to do some primitive hunting. This is the true duty of all extraordinary people in the post-apocalyptic era.

As soon as she thought of this, her gentle eyes narrowed immediately, and she stroked the poster and muttered to herself:
"Hunting..."

……

"hunting?"

Xu Shu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Matthew in front of him and the dozen or so middle-aged men who followed him.

Although these dozen men looked to be in their forties or even fifties, they all had sharp eyes, obvious muscle lines under their camouflage uniforms, and several of them had scars on their necks. It was obvious at a glance that they were veterans who had experienced countless battles on the battlefield.

Moreover, the other party's standing posture, led by Matthew, made Xu Shu suddenly think of some old friends in his mind.

"Were you from the patrol team before?" Xu Shu didn't rush to ask about the hunting target, but instead inquired about the other party's origins.

Matthew picked up the last piece of meat on the table imperceptibly, stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation, chewed it, and replied:

"Yes, I was one of the earliest patrol team members. I reached the age of retirement two years ago. I was still strong enough and thought it would be a pity to work in the city as a logistics officer, so I started a hunting team in this wasteland to make a living."

He didn't give a specific reason, but Xu Shu could guess with his toes that it must be because he was short of money.
Although every captain was once a superhuman, when they reach their fifties, they will either retire directly or retire from the front line and engage in logistics work.

Of course, the income is not as good as before.

Maybe there are other pressures, for example, not wanting to "grow old" like this, and thinking that although I am old, my arrows are still sharp.

After thinking for a while, Xu Shu tapped the table with his index finger and asked, "Werewolf?"

Asking this doesn't mean he doesn't understand what it is.

On the contrary, this thing is very famous in the end times, and everyone knows it.

Werewolf, one of the three evils of the wasteland.

It is the most hated monster among all, even more disgusting than the evil beast.

The reason for its notoriety lies in the word "people".

This monster has many similarities with humans in its physiological structure, but it is extremely lustful. Whenever a human settlement or shelter is attacked by werewolves, the men are fine, at most they are bitten to death and eaten, or they are contaminated and transformed into new werewolves, which is always a quick death.

But for females, their fate is much more miserable. They will be directly captured and taken to their nests, and exist as star rage forces.

Occasionally, wasteland patrols would gather to break into a discovered werewolf lair, and the hostages they rescued would be basically tortured beyond recognition.

Nicknamed the Doomsday Goblin, he is hated by gods and ghosts in the wasteland.

Therefore, when Xu Shu heard the other party mention hunting werewolves, he became a little interested: "You found a werewolf's lair?"

Matthew nodded first, but then shook his head and said, "To be precise, it's not a den, but a lone werewolf."

"One?"

Xu Shu seemed to be thinking about something.

No wonder they dared to try to deal with it with only one extraordinary person and a dozen ordinary retired veterans.

Although there won't be monsters higher than level one in the wasteland, monsters are still monsters after all, especially werewolves that like to live in groups. There may be seven or eight of them in a nest. This scale requires a team of at least considerable size to wipe out.

Now that it turns out that he was alone, it makes sense.

But if there is only one, it would be hard to chase, right? Werewolves are known for their agility...

Xu Shu asked thoughtfully: "Where is it, and what are you going to do?"

Matthew pointed behind Xu Shu and said, "It's right there."

"?"

At this moment, Xu Shu's pupils shrank and the hairs on his back stood up.

If he hadn't felt threatened, he would have activated Jingwei directly and rolled to the ground.

The next moment, Xu Shu looked back expressionlessly.

Outside the window, the moonlight was like water. There was a small hill of ruins. There were occasional upside-down concrete pillars, but they did not block the view much, so everything was in sight. I could even see the border line a hundred or two hundred meters away, and the dark shadows of the mountains farther away, standing there silently like the corpse of a giant.

It was empty, there was nothing, and of course there was no werewolf as Matthew had mentioned.

Xu Shu turned around, looked at Matthew, narrowed his eyes and said, "Explain what you mean by right there."

I can't explain it clearly. I can stay here today to make my achievements. Oh, I almost forgot that you guys don't even have an upgrade drive.

Damn, bad luck!
You almost scared me to death! I thought it was so powerful that it could kill my neck without making any sound! Xu Shu took a deep breath silently.

Matthew didn't know that he had just walked through the gates of hell. He probably thought he was quite humorous, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"See that collapsed warehouse? After twelve o'clock tonight, the werewolf will go to the ruins, find a spot, and start taking a moonlight bath."

The place he was pointing to was a ruined vacant lot slightly north of the Lighthouse Hotel.

As everyone knows, every night, there will be many dark monsters in the wasteland that will come out from the ground without causing any casualties, and sleep in the moonlight.

The number of monsters is the largest in the safe zone as the center, and decreases gradually from the inside to the outside.

But not all monsters come from underground.

Some monsters exist on the surface even during the day.

They may lurk in their nests during the day, but at night they will also come out and sit facing the moon in silence.

People generally call it "moonlight bathing".

But the key point Xu Shu noticed was - after twelve o'clock tonight.

"How do you know it will come here at night?" Xu Shu asked.

Can you also foresee the future?
Matthew said, "Of course it depends on intelligence. In fact, it comes here every night and has been doing this for three days. According to my judgment, it should have reached the maximum level and is trying to advance here. Once it completes the advancement, it will leave the wasteland."

"Intelligence comes every night..." Xu Shu was stunned.

He looked towards the hotel reception desk and immediately understood the source of the information - Bruce. They had just talked not long ago.

Really, why didn’t you tell me directly if you had this news?
Xu Shu muttered something, then asked him, "How do you know that there is only one werewolf, and not a scout from a den, preparing to explore the way and then attack this human gathering point?" "Your idea is correct, so I have already checked the surrounding area in advance this afternoon and confirmed that there is only one werewolf."

Matthew laughed and pointed to his nose: "Believe me, I am a senior gangster. Although I am a little older now, my sense of smell has not deteriorated."

Oh~ So he's a "gangster", no wonder he dared to make such a guarantee... Xu Shu suddenly remembered his former teammate, the busty, yellow-haired girl Hong Yan. He remembered that under her leadership, they were always able to accurately find lone monsters and kill them one by one.

Seeing Xu Shu's expression was somewhat interested, Matthew took the initiative to say: "How about it, are you interested in cooperating? If you are willing to participate, we can split the spoils 50-50. Haha, my sense of smell tells me that this werewolf is of excellent grade, so the harvest will not be small."

In addition to the corrosion crystals, the excellent-level monsters must also have some practical "materials" on their bodies, such as fur, claws, etc. All in all, the value of a monster is around 100,000 yuan, and it may be more than that if you are lucky.

He said it was a 50-50 split, but after all, there were still many brothers to lead, so in reality, Xu Shu would take the lion's share.

After all, he knew his own business. He was just a level 12 White Curse Seal, the lowest level of transcendent.

And for someone like Xu Shu, who was wandering alone in the wasteland at such a young age, it was obvious that he at least had an 'excellent' level curse mark.

When dealing with a first-level monster that is also of excellent level, it is obvious that the opponent is the main force.

Xu Shu looked at the open space outside.

Are we going to fight outside? This made him unwilling. He hated being exposed to the moonlight. Although he had been basking in the moonlight all the way back the other day and nothing seemed to have happened, he still felt uncomfortable. This was a psychological effect.

Xu Shu thought about it and did not agree directly. Instead, he said, "What were you going to do? We are so close to the border. If it escapes, it will be difficult to chase it."

It is risky to cross the border during the day, let alone at night.

"We can use the corpse to lure it closer, and then we can finish it off here." Matthew was prepared. "Also, I've injected anesthetic into it. If it eats it, it may reduce its fighting power."

As he spoke, he shook the sack beside him, which turned a little red.

Fight right here at the door?

That's something you can consider... huh?

Xu Shu smelled a faint smell of blood: "What is this?"

Matthew said, "It's a pig leg, but it's soaked in human blood. Haha, werewolves are very picky. They prefer to eat humans rather than animals."

"Where did all this blood come from?"

"I met a group of unlucky people. They must have been killed by robbers. I buried them. It's not too much to ask for some blood as a reward." Matthew looked honest. (Note 1)

"..."Xu Shu looked at him deeply.

This is the tragedy of the times.

There is not much respect for the lives and corpses of their own kind.

Even at Matthew's age, he should have lived in the civilized era before the disaster for most of his life, but he had already been assimilated.

Haha, in my previous life, I would sentence you to the crime of insulting a corpse...

But now, I can only say that you are really lucky. I hope you didn't kill a scavenger just to get some blood? It shouldn't be the case. If you just want some blood, a cut will be enough. There is no need to shout and kill...

"Well, with your participation, it's almost certain that it won't escape." Matthew struck while the iron was hot.

"Okay." Xu Shu agreed without further hesitation.

After all, if it was just a werewolf, he would not be too afraid to fight alone. The only difference was either he would kill the opponent or let the opponent escape.

Matthew smiled brightly: "Then I wish us a happy cooperation in advance. Let me introduce myself again. My name is Matthew Bright, a first-level gangster. These few people are patrolmen who followed me in the past. Haha, I am a native of Xia Country."

I can tell from what I hear. Xia Country is really vast and rich in resources. The Astronomy Society has changed the world's common language into the original Xia Country official language. Look at how fluent he is in Xia Country official language... Xu Shu nodded, shook hands with him briefly and said:
"Lee Toyota, Lux."

It is convenient to team up with this kind of extraordinary person who has no upgrade drive. You can use any name.

Of course, the price is that there is no specific binding force, and cooperation between each other depends entirely on whether they are righteous or not.

-

It was a little after eleven o'clock, the moon was high in the sky, and the wind was cold.

Everyone in the Lighthouse Hotel had gone to bed early, and the lights in the entire first-floor lobby had been turned off long ago. It was pitch dark, with the only lighting coming in was the moonlight.

Many hotel staff were squatting not far from the door, looking out cautiously - it was so late, and Xu Shu and the others were still unwilling to go upstairs, so they naturally couldn't hide it from Brooke and the others, but they didn't dare to disturb them and could only watch.

Xu Shu, Matthew and others squatted outside the gate, each occupying some hidden corners, waiting quietly.

"It's almost time to get the body out."

Two old patrolmen, called Lao Song and Lao He, worked together to lift the sack full of meat.

At Matthew's signal, they quickly spread the bloody pieces of meat inside the iron fence not far from the side door of the hotel, and the smell of blood quickly became strong.

The other few people worked together to open the iron fence, forming an eight-shaped corner posture, and pulled it to the side to make the place look less dangerous.

Originally, with the iron fence there, it would take a lot of effort for the werewolf to climb over.

It's much more convenient now.

"Brother Li Toyota, I'm going to ask you to restrain it first." Matthew greeted in a low voice.

"no problem."

As a wrestler, this is of course his job. Xu Shu made a gesture to indicate that there was no problem.

After doing all this, everyone quickly returned to the agreed ambush site. The patrolmen were holding relatively advanced firearms, while Matthew had a cold dagger on his waist, which was obviously an extraordinary weapon.

Xu Shu, on the other hand, came empty-handed today, without even any steel bars, but he placed a large pile of stones on the ground. With the help of "Mastery of Architecture", he built a small castle like building blocks.

The entire entrance of the hotel quickly became quiet.

The night in the wasteland is very quiet, especially near the border, where it is dead silent.

The only sounds left were the occasional strange howling of unknown monsters in the distance and the occasional suppressed sobbing sounds from a few rooms upstairs in the hotel.

Time passed minute by minute, and soon it was midnight.

Suddenly, bursts of wheezing sounds began to be heard.

Everyone pricked up their ears.

At this moment, a monster with strong limbs, as big as a bear or a wolf, and nearly three meters tall, broke in.

It was covered in black hair and had mucus coming out of the corners of its mouth. It no longer looked like a human being.

Werewolf, here we are.

However, it didn't come in on its own.

It entered the hotel in an extremely twisted posture, with its limbs completely broken and its abdomen and back torn all over.

"Bang~"

It fell heavily to the ground, in the middle of a pile of smelly flesh and blood, with its long tongue sticking out, and it was obvious that it was seriously injured.

In the air, the wind was fanning with a "whoosh!"

A few teeth-grinding screams.

A total of six humanoid monsters came flying one after another, standing in different places on the open space and surrounding the werewolf.

Their eyes glowed red, and the pair of bat wings behind them slowly folded up!
"Woo~Roar~" The werewolf on the ground roared in grief and anger.

Six humanoid monsters were circling around it, licking their mouths from time to time. Under the moonlight, their appearance was clearly visible.

They have fair skin and wear black suits that are obviously human, but are very tight and constricting, and their ears are very pointy like the elves in legends.

Since their clothes didn't fit them well, you could tell from their body shapes that there were three males and three females.

Especially the latter's gender characteristics are clearly visible: she has a slim figure but full breasts, like rich fruits hanging on thin branches, and her legs are solid without much gap.

Bloodlines!
There are six of them in total, and among the alien monsters, the most famous one is the "vampire"!
They seemed to have not noticed anything unusual around them, so they were all circling around the werewolf.

“……”Matthew.

“……”Brooke.

“……”The patrol soldiers and the onlookers in the house.

For a moment, everyone held their breath.

Xu Shu silently turned his gaze to Matthew opposite him.

Didn't you say you were going to make sure there was only one werewolf coming?
These six vampires aren’t considered monsters, right?
