Shen Ping and Qin Shan stood silently, looking at the fire fox captain's corpse. Although they had avenged their teammate Yu Tai's legs, they didn't feel much joy. No matter what, Zheng Ji was a high-level war general warrior. He could have killed more monsters in the wilderness and protected the people of the base city, but he died here because of his brother.
Warriors possessed power beyond ordinary people, but if they couldn't control their emotions and preferences, they would ultimately suffer the consequences.
A short while later, Zhou Qiang came down from the rooftop in the distance. He examined Zheng Ji's body and instinctively looked at Shen Ping. This kind of injury was definitely not caused by the combat strength of a high-level war general.
"Qiangzi, Zheng Ji was killed by the three of us working together, understand?"
Zhou Qiang grinned, "Captain, I understand."
Qin Shan put his hands on Shen Ping and Zhou Qiang's shoulders. The three of them looked at each other and all laughed.
Back in the base city.
Mu Yang, who had been waiting for news, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the captain and the others were unharmed. "How did it go?"
Qin Shan said casually, "Dead."
Mu Yang clenched his fist and said, "Good." He didn't ask for details, but he figured it had cost the team a lot.
They rested at the hotel for a night.
The next day at noon, they gathered in a private room at the HR Alliance mall for a meal. It was a farewell dinner, actually, for Yu Tai, who was retiring.
"Why the long faces?"
Yu Tai's injuries had stopped bleeding. His pale face had regained some color as he smiled. "This is a good thing for me. I can be just like old Shen, either doing business or doing odd jobs at the Limit Martial Arts Hall. I just can't go back to the wilderness."
Speaking of this.
His smile gradually faded, and he sighed, "Captain, Mu Yang, and Qiangzi, it's just the three of you left to support each other. Don't be like me and Lao Shen. If you get tired of it, just quit. We've earned quite a bit over the years, enough for the rest of your lives."
Zhou Qiang said, "When it's time to quit, I definitely will. But Mu Yang and the Captain can keep going, especially Mu Yang. Maybe he can establish an elite squad."
Mu Yang quickly shook his head, "Qiang-ge, don't tease me. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have grown so fast."
The group drank as they talked.
After a few rounds of drinks.
Shen Ping asked, "Captain, what are your plans next? An elite warrior squad with only three people is difficult to manage in the wilderness."
Qin Shan drank a glass of wine by himself, and seeing Mu Yang and Zhou Qiang looking at him, he slowly said, "The Raging Wind Squad should take on new members. Let's wait until August. We'll see if there are any suitable prospects then."
"Come, let's drink."
The mortality rate for warrior squads in the wilderness is relatively high. Only after a long period of working together, with seamless cooperation between team members, will the chances of survival and hunting increase significantly. Squads like the Raging Wind Squad, being veteran elite teams, rarely experienced fatalities.
Now, with Shen Ping and Yu Tai successively withdrawing, they could only recruit new members.
They drank until after four in the afternoon.
Shen Ping and the others were all tipsy, and they called their families to pick them up.
When Li Yuewei picked up Shen Ping, she saw Yu Tai's legs. Her heart tightened, and she quickly checked her husband's body. Seeing that he had no injuries, she felt relieved. Back at the villa in the residential area, after making a hangover soup, she said earnestly, "Honey, let's not go to the wilderness area anymore, okay?"
Shen Ping shook his slightly heavy head, furrowing his brow, "Honey, don't worry about this. Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Li Yuewei opened her mouth, but didn't continue the topic. She knew she couldn't persuade Shen Ping, and moreover, the company's ability to develop was mainly due to the God of War he had met in the wilderness. If this connection was broken, then Pingwei Materials Company would be like duckweed on the water.
After Shen Ping went to lie down in the bedroom, Li Yuewei sighed softly, "I can't keep his restless heart tied down all by myself."
July.
Huazhong Base City entered the sweltering summer. In this weather, the monsters in the wilderness area became restless. Almost every three or four days, flying monster types would appear above the base city. Usually during this season, most warriors would go out hunting because the peak of the Beast Tide would be in a month or two.
"Honey, I'm going to the wilderness area. I'll be back in half a month at the shortest, or a month at the longest. You take care of things at the company."
Having changed into his combat suit,
Shen Ping left, fully armed.
His mother-in-law watched his back and couldn't help but say, "Daughter, why don't you try to persuade him? We lack for nothing at home. Why does he have to go to the wilderness area?"
Li Yuewei didn't say anything, but she was feeling helpless inside.
Inside the military supply base.
Officer Huang from the Thunderbolt Martial Arts Hall tossed the key to Shen Ping and asked with a smile, "Old Shen, are you planning to hunt an intermediate beast general this time, or a high-level one?"
Shen Ping joked, "If it's a high-level beast general, can you handle it?"
Officer Huang's eyes widened, and he said with a veiled meaning, "Don't talk about high-level, I can handle even a lord-level one."
"Haha, I don't have the ability to hunt a lord-level one."
Officer Huang didn't mind, "Old Shen, be careful when you go to the wilderness area, don't run into a rat tide."
Summer was indeed the peak season for rat tides.
Especially before and after the rainy season, a large number of rodent-type monsters would emerge from underground, appearing in overwhelming numbers. Even a God of War faced the risk of falling.
Shen Ping, as an invincible God of War, naturally wasn't afraid of rat tides. As night fell, the temperature dropped considerably. He sped along the abandoned highway, the wind whistling past his ears, mixed with the occasional roars of beasts from the roadside.
The night sky was dotted with stars.
The surroundings, however, were overgrown with weeds.
Without some skill, any warrior would be truly terrified in this environment.
This time, he was still heading to the Taihang Mountains, and even deeper into the mountains, as that area was where many mid-level, lord-class monsters appeared.
Three days later.
He saw a Violent Ape Dragon. This type of lord-class monster was very agile, and often gathered a large group of beast general-class monsters around it. Generally, high-level Gods of War wouldn't provoke them.
Shen Ping used the binoculars to observe the area and decided against attacking. There were simply too many Beast Generals around. If he charged in, he'd inevitably get bogged down and delayed, making it a very inefficient approach.
He continued searching for another two days.
Finally, he found another mid-level Lord-class monster. Seeing that it wasn't surrounded by many Beast Generals, he immediately sprang into action. Moving with incredible speed, he reached the monster's edge, using the other Beast Generals as stepping stones to close the distance.
It took him over two hours to finally kill it.
With the materials from this monster, I can make the handover to the Zheng family. Then, the hotel profits, the shares in the Zheng Group, and the villa in Lishui District will all be mine… If I can hunt a few more high-level Beast Generals, the company's annual profit this year should exceed ten billion!
Shen Ping's eyes were filled with anticipation. According to his previous estimations, a profit of ten billion would likely trigger a significant reward.
