Second Attempt: Hunter Start

To some extent, the Campus Belle still had the upper hand over Xia Wen. Under the rather vicious punishment proposed by the other party, Xia Wen finally gave up temporarily... and tried to make a comeback.

It must be said that the information provided by the Campus Belle was of great help.

They are all like a group of people taking a multiple- Multiple Choice Question with unknown options, and before them, someone has already eliminated many wrong answers for them.

[Ling Xiaoyi]: Running away is useless, and hiding means starting all over again, so in the end we focused our attention on that huge Black Shadow.

[Black&White]: What was the result?

[Ling Xiaoyi]: We each died three times.

[Ling Xiaoyi]: The other party is quite difficult to approach. The only way is to dig a tunnel underground in advance and then make contact from underground by calculating the time and distance of the other party's arrival. But strangely, the other party appears in a different location every time.

[Black&White]: The locations are different? What does that mean?

[Ling Xiaoyi]: Sometimes it comes from the east, and sometimes it comes from the west. The direction and location of its appearance are completely different each time... But logically speaking, the location of its appearance should be the same each time.

[Black&White]: It's simple, the Butterfly Effect. Your actions in the town unintentionally changed something, which indirectly affected the other person... You mentioned before that among everyone, Hitomi was the most affected, right?

[Ling Xiaoyi]: You mean...?

[Shrimp Meat]: Since you asked so sincerely!!

[Black&White]: Then I'll mercifully answer you!!

[Ling Xiaoyi]:???

[Shrimp Meat]: To prevent the world from being destroyed!!

[Black&White]: To protect the peace of the universe!!

[Shrimp Meat]: Evil that transcends love and truth!!

[Black&White]: A cute and charming villainous character!!

[Ling Xiaoyi]:??????

[Shrimp Meat]: Musashi!!

[Black&White]: Kojiro!!

[Shrimp Meat / Black&White]: We are Team Rocket, speeding through the Galaxy! White Hole, a white tomorrow awaits us!!

[Night Owl]: That's it, meow!

[Ling Xiaoyi]:...

[Night Owl]:... It's not my fault, my hand just started moving on its own, I really couldn't resist.

[Shrimp Meat]: That's right, it's like someone shouting "Steamed buns!! Four for One Yuan Coin." You'd definitely respond.

[Black&White]: Hehe!!

[Night Owl]:...

[Ling Xiaoyi]:...

[Black&White]: Getting back to the point, the reason why the opponent appears in different locations each time is because it is attracted by the pupil.

[Black&White]: I have a question. When Tong is around you, is the other person always closer to you or farther away?

[Night Owl]: This time, after digging a pit together with Hitomi on the other side's inevitable path, the other side appeared on the other side... far away, I suppose.

[Night Owl]: By the way, thanks for lending me the Equipment and items... Aren't you from the S-rank Station? How did you get here?

[Black&White]: I'm very worried because you haven't gone back yet.

[Black&White]: I've been waiting for you guys to come back all this time.

[Black&White]: Without you and the Campus Belle cooking, we've been eating takeout every day, it's so miserable.

[Shrimp Meat]: That's right, I can vouch for it. None of us can cook, it was truly miserable Σ(▼□▼メ)

[Black&White]: I have a general idea now. Good luck to you guys. I'm going in first.

[Night Owl]:...

[Ling Xiaoyi]:...

[Ling Xiaoyi]: You're out of pocket money for the next few months.

Faintly, a bitter wind brushed against my face.

Slightly narrowing his eyes, Bai Zhi sat up from the ground.

The fire had died down, and the sky was beginning to lighten. Before my eyes lay a desolate wasteland overgrown with weeds. A morning breeze carried a strange, bitter smell.

This time, the choice was made to be Scavenger, and the time was three days before the city's destruction.

"Have people in this world also developed unique ways of survival...?"

After briefly sorting through the unfamiliar memories in his mind, Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly, walked to the side, picked up a pale yellow clump from the ground, and examined it.

Hunters are able to survive in the wilderness not only because of their Equipment and skilled wilderness survival techniques.

These pale yellow clumps scattered around are one of the research results of the people in this world. These clumps can effectively Expulsion Monster wandering nearby.

The composition of these pale yellow lumps is unknown, but hunters can exchange them at the city hall for a very low price, making them an essential supply for hunters when they travel.

Because he was born a hunter, memories about why so many hunters were dying automatically appeared in his mind.

A thick fog suddenly appeared, enveloping the wilderness and gradually approaching the town.

Initially, the hunters didn't take much precaution against these morning fogs, resulting in heavy losses.

Right now, a group of hunters are exploring the area encircled by the thick fog, trying to find a safe escape route. He is one of them.

However, it's worth mentioning that the leader of the Wolf Gang and the Players in the Town Center had already ventured deep into the dense fog yesterday, and they are probably in grave danger now.

"I was originally planning to secretly pull off a heist against them..."

With a slight pout of regret, Bai Zhi walked back to his campsite and hopped on his motorcycle.

The safest place in the wilderness surrounding the town is naturally near the few Trade Route that have been opened up. However, there are still a considerable number of Monster and more than a dozen confirmed areas of Anomaly in the wilderness.

As long as hunters carefully avoid areas teeming with Monster Cluster, their safety can be ensured thanks to the mobility of their motorcycles.

After a moment's thought, Bai Zhi looked up at the still early sky and decided to head towards the Mist.

Risk and opportunity always go hand in hand. Now that I've chosen the role of Scavenger, perhaps a trip to the outskirts might lead to some unexpected discoveries...

To be honest, Bai Zhi was quite interested in the Giant Black Shadow being dragged along by thousands of Chains.

However, what intrigued him even more was why the other party would target Tong.

Judging from what the Night Owl and the Campus Belle beauty had said, the huge Black Shadow clearly intended to kill Hitomi, and didn't even want to get close...

--This is very problematic.

Bai Zhi now had several vague guesses in his mind, and what he needed to do now was to verify these guesses one by one.

After all the wrong answers have been eliminated, the remaining answer, no matter how absurd it may seem, is absolutely correct.
