Because of the high latitude, winter nights in the Northeast are extremely cold.Wang Liu tried his best to seal the door cracks tightly, but the earth houses in the village were not warm after all, so they served as a windshield.It is impossible for them to pay more attention to the quality of life when they are on missions. They take off their warm combat uniforms, stuff them into sleeping bags with their clothes, and spend the night as soon as possible.

Lin Chao finished checking the compound bow without saying a word, picked up a can of beef, and got into the sleeping bag.

"Lin Chao, what did you think about accepting this mission?" Wang Liu said, "My idea is very simple. When I was on the mission last time, I was bitten by a wolf dog and lay in the hospital for two months. I was discharged from the hospital." Then I figured it out, I can’t do this job for a long time, I might as well do it for a big ticket, earn money to support my wife and son, and quit.”

Lin Chao said: "En."

"Looking at your skill, you were not an ordinary person before, right? In the army? Or in private work?"

Wang Liuwen's "before" is naturally before the end of the world.In the environment of the apocalypse, the dangers faced by mercenaries are much greater than before the apocalypse. Even if they can improve their abilities by absorbing crystal nuclei, it is impossible to do so if they have no physical foundation before.

Lin Chao pondered for a moment, then replied, "It's the same as now."

"A mercenary too?!" Wang Liu was a little surprised.Although Lin Chao didn't have the rigidity that came out of the army, he never thought that the other party was really like himself, and before the end of the world, he was doing this kind of blood-licking business.

"Almost. The Middle East."

Wang Liu understood, "That's quite a mess."

"Ah."

"The reward for this mission is not low. What are you going to do after it's over?" Wang Liu went around and brought the topic back to the original one.He really wanted to know, as a mercenary at the top of the bounty list, why did Lin Chao take such a big risk to take on a mission that might ruin his career or life?Lin Chao is different from him.He is already in his 30s, and his physical fitness is declining. The sequelae of the last injury may break out at any time, and he is not suitable for continuing to do such a job.But Lin Chao seems to be in his early twenties, and he can go on the road of mercenary for a long time.

Lin Chao thought for a while and said, "Buy a house."

He said again, "Find someone."

Wang Liu laughed loudly and said: "I think so too. Buy a house, find a wife who warms the bed, give birth to a big fat boy, and live together in this life."

After laughing, he realized something was wrong, and asked, "You have also taken on a lot of jobs, and you have saved the money for a flat, right?"

Lin Chao saw that he would not give up unless he asked what happened, and said, "I need Zheng Taiheng to help me find someone."

After finishing speaking, regardless of whether Wang Liu's curiosity was satisfied or not, he lowered his head and pulled up the sleeping bag.

……

There is only a small hill with an altitude of no more than 200 meters on the east side of the village, while the west side is much more rugged.The mountains in the distance stretched all the way to the ground. Although the height was reduced, they still tightly shielded one side of the village.

Zheng Taiheng mentioned in the information given to them that the person who may be carrying a fifth-level crystal nucleus is a huge mutant wild boar.The last sighting of this wild boar was near this village.According to the habits of wild boars, they are more likely to appear in this mountainous forest to the west.

Lin Chao cheered up.

Before the wild boar was infected with the mutation, it already weighed four to five hundred catties, which definitely reached the level of the wild boar king.After the mutation, the power should not be underestimated.This kind of animal sounds like a domesticated or not domesticated animal that is suitable for braised/steamed/stir-fried/brine, but its combat effectiveness is completely incomparable.The canines of the male wild boar are exposed and flipped upwards, which can easily tear apart the opponent's body. The speed of running is so fast that even untrained hunters cannot escape its pursuit.With Lin Chao's not-so-thick body, once he was bumped into, he would end up with a shattered liver and gallbladder.

After getting the information, Lin Chao carefully studied how to kill the other party.If Wang Liu was also present, with the cooperation of the two, there shouldn't be much problem.But if he hit it alone—

There were twenty arrows in the quiver, and under the threat of the opponent's speed and strength, he probably had no chance to retrieve the arrows that had been shot and use them again.Then these twenty arrows were the only weapon he had to kill the opponent.If you don't want to fight hand-to-hand with an opponent whose weight is several times your own, then you have to use every arrow to its full potential.

the first arrow...

He inspected this dense forest yesterday, and there was no trace of wild boar activity.Even so, his bow-holding hands are still slightly bent, in a state that can exert force instantly.

Wind!

Lin Chao turned around, and saw a wild boar with a dark body and exposed fangs, looking at himself across an old tree surrounded by two people.Because of the mutation, the wild boar's hair looks as sharp as needles, and there is an occasional scar between the gray-black skin, and the eversioned bright red muscles are very conspicuous, giving people the illusion that it is about to rot.

Neither side moved.

Lin Chao felt the muscle fibers tremble slightly because of the tension, and the quiver behind his back was separated by a thick layer of protective clothing, so he couldn't feel the cold or heat, but the weight was still there.

He slowly aimed the compound bow at the old tree with an empty string.

He reached for the quiver with his back.

The wild boar moved.

There was an old tree in the middle, and the wild boar did not charge in a straight line.But even if there was an extra turn to avoid it, it didn't slow down much.

Lin Chao quickly drew a feathered arrow from the quiver, and instead of taking the bow immediately, he backed up a few steps and ran deep into the dense forest.

Although he was also a mercenary before the end of the world, the chances of bumping into such a big opponent were really rare.When a wild boar weighing several hundred kilograms runs, the visual impact is unbearable for ordinary people.Just like when watching the tide, you know clearly that the tide will be controlled in a safe area, but the moment you face it directly, you still feel that it is surging and overwhelming.

Now that Lin Chao is being chased away by the opponent, he doesn't have the pressure to confront him head-on.But the ground began to tremble, the wind was hoarse to the point of bursting, the heavy and smelly breath behind him... The messages from various senses were still extremely tense and intense.

Running like this is not an option.

His physical strength is definitely not as good as that big guy, and it would be bad if he waited until he was caught up and tried to make amends.

With one foot on the tree trunk, his figure turned sharply. Lin Chao took advantage of his bow and shot an arrow behind him.

The arrow grazed the boar's neck, missing the fatal artery.

Lin Chao didn't have any regrets, he retracted his bow, turned around and ran again.His arrow was aimed at the side of the opponent's neck.Judging from the strong physical strength and vitality of the mutated wild boar, even if an arrow hit the artery just now, it would not be enough to kill it instantly.

And his arrow happened to pass by the wild boar's neck, leaving a moderate wound, which would not irritate the boar, but also cause continuous bleeding and slow down the running speed of the boar.

With the cover of the tree trunks in the dense forest, Lin Chao released six or seven arrows one after another while running all the way.Each one left a hole in the opponent's body, but none of them was fatal.

The hair on the wild boar's legs was clotted with blood, making it look even more hideous.

No matter how small the wound is, if the number accumulates to a certain level, it will be terrifying.The wild boar's movement speed has obviously slowed down, and at the same time, the gradually heavier gasps indicate that its anger has also increased.

It's almost time.

Lin Chao has been calmly calculating the comparison of each other's physical strength.Running all the way, he effectively controlled the opponent's physical strength, and his own consumption was not small.

Shaking his head to shake off the sweat from the ends of his hair, he squinted his eyes and pointed the compound bow at the wild boar's right eye.

Whoosh.

The arrow pierced deeply into the eyeball, and most of it sank into the arrowhead.

Unwilling and tragic shouts resounded through the forest.

Almost at the same time as he let go of the bowstring, Lin Chao had already started his second run.Last time he paid attention to the ratio of speed and physical strength, but this time he didn't hold anything back.

There is no need to assume how angry the wild boar will be after being shot through one eye.But the wind never ends, and the rain never ends, as long as he survives the opponent's madness for a period of time, he will be victorious.

How to get rid of wild beasts with the help of trees, this skill he has already mastered in the task.Therefore, the moment he was knocked into the air, his first reaction was impossible.

impossible!

There was a huge tree between him and the wild boar. With the opponent's agility and speed, it was impossible for him to get around before he avoided it.

It doesn't go around at all!

The hundred-year-old giant tree was broken from the middle by a wild boar, and half of the trunk flew across, knocking away the forest chao who was avoiding behind the tree.

A burning pain in the chest.The one that is strong in the hand and can be held is the compound bow.When it landed, it was the quiver that slapped its back hard.He still had his weapon on him, though he couldn't move himself when he was down.

He moved his fingers, trying to pull the bowstring.

But the wild boar was close at hand.

The feathered arrow he shot was still inserted obliquely in the wild boar's eye socket, and the huge red and white pupils were looking down at him.The smell of blood filled the tip of his nose, and Lin Chao seemed to have felt the sharp pain when his fangs tore his body.

Hey.

The roar of heavy firearms starting could be heard faintly, which seemed to be slightly different from the one he was used to hearing.Under the direct threat of death, Lin Chao has no way of judging whether this is an illusion.
