Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

Gradually, more and more people appeared in the streets and alleys. Everyone was staring at the passing armored vehicles as if they were watching a commotion. Some even came out in the middle of the night with their children in their arms to join in the fun, as if missing this occasion would mean missing out on hundreds of millions. Suddenly, the atmosphere on the street became lively.

The old man in slippers and a white vest was smoking a cigarette and holding a camera in his hand to record the whole process.

In addition, many people were taking pictures with their mobile phones, and in the passing vehicles, the Self-Defense Force members who were on high alert had solemn expressions and were not excited at all. After all, they themselves knew that this mission would involve casualties, especially before departure, everyone had to sign a life and death contract and hand over a written will to their superiors in advance.

In fact, when the first hunting conference was held last year, there was a situation where a high-level mutant beast from the danger zone ran into the safe zone, which eventually caused injuries to members of the Self-Defense Forces.

According to last year's statistics, there were 182 Self-Defense Force members and 23 Guard members dispatched last year, but in the end there were 41 injuries and three deaths, including one Guard member who died in the danger zone to protect everyone.

The scale of hunting this year will be larger than in previous years, mainly because one-third of the dangerous area will be open for hunting than usual, and some guard members will be sent into the restricted area to manage it.

According to the official information released on the base forum two days ago, 252 Self-Defense Force members will be dispatched this year, one-third of which will be from the Kyoto First District Base to support the Second District, and one-third of the 41 guard members will still be dispatched from Kyoto.

The remaining Hunter Association will dispatch 120 C-level hunters and 25 B-level hunters to assist in the security guard of the northern forest. The Wanderer Base also said it would dispatch nine mercenary teams with a total of 132 psychics to provide assistance.

At first glance it seems that there are a lot of people doing security management, but the truth is that the great forest to the north is so huge that, based on the number of guards, they can only ensure that there are two or so Self-Defense Forces or guards within a 200-meter range. Otherwise, once something happens, it will be difficult for the emergency team to arrive at the scene in the first place.

The number of people who sign up for the hunting tournament this time will reach an unprecedented 2,000 people. A progressive system will be adopted throughout the process, and whoever can reach the location specified by the organizer in a short period of time will pass the first stage of the competition.

In the first stage, the organizers will set up many traps and roadblocks. Don't underestimate these traps. Last year, at least one-third of the contestants failed in the first stage.

After one third of the people have been eliminated, the second stage will begin. In the second stage, the members need to find special artificial crystal cores set up by the organizer in various places in the forest. Those who find and successfully hunt a D-level mutant beast within the specified time will directly enter the final competition.

The competition is divided into time periods. Two-thirds of the contestants will enter the competition in the first week, and only those with C-level and above abilities will enter the competition directly in the second week.

This arrangement is also to allow those with special abilities to compete fairly with ordinary hunters or other registered contestants. Otherwise, letting those with special abilities compete with ordinary people from the beginning would be like hitting a rock with an egg.

It is said that there will be more than 2,000 people participating in the competition this time, and the popularity of the hunting conference will reach an unprecedented level.

A few days ago, the base had sent a group of Self-Defense Force members to the northern forest for advance inspection, and tonight a large force was officially dispatched to station in the forest.

At the same time, the Wanderer Organization, which was more than fifty kilometers away from the base, also sent out guards. They drove damaged cars and carried heavy weapons purchased from black market arms dealers. More than twenty cars were driving proudly on the road.

Inside the base, hunters from the Hunter Association officially gathered at the Hunter Association building at 3:10 in the morning. They were all hunters who did not participate in the hunting conference this time. This time they went to the forest together as an emergency team.

The crowd standing on the street watching the excitement also discovered that there were five or six private SUVs following the armored vehicles. These were the war reporters of the base TV station. This time, a total of more than 20 people were dispatched to use drones and install satellite transceiver equipment for live broadcasts.

This time, we followed different Self-Defense Force members into the forest a few hours in advance to debug the network. Nearly a thousand drones were also distributed over the forest.

These war correspondents are experienced, and most of them have participated in the previous hunting competition. But the difference from the previous time is that this is the first time to broadcast the event live. At that time, the hunting process of all participating members will be transmitted to the base network as soon as possible, and finally watched online through live broadcast.

In order to watch the live broadcast, the business of the supply and marketing cooperative has been unprecedentedly good during this period, especially the sales of mobile phones and televisions, which are several times higher than usual, almost causing a shortage of supply.

The hunting tournament will officially start at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning. After the Self-Defense Forces and the Hunter Association leave, we will see many private cars belonging to other hunter guilds speeding on the streets. Occasionally, there are people participating as individuals, and even some crazy fans who want to "chase stars" at the scene following behind.

Gu Tongwan glanced at his watch. It was three forty-five. He decided to sleep for two more hours before setting off again.
