The Veteran's Demise

"Great fortune?"

Hearing Gu Lin say this, Gu Han also smiled slightly.

After activating the System upon transmigration, it could indeed be called great fortune.

By the time the two returned to the military camp, it was already dark.

Meanwhile, Gu Chen and his brothers, after their evening training, hadn't seen Gu Lin return. Worried that Gu Lin might have gotten into trouble, they immediately went to the Logistics Camp together.

To their surprise, neither Gu Lin nor Gu Han had returned to the camp.

After a brief discussion, the brothers decided they couldn't afford to worry about the danger and split up to search for Gu Han and Gu Lin in the wilderness.

Near the military camp, Gu Han and Gu Lin happened to encounter Gu Chen, who was anxiously searching for them.

Little Wolf, without being noticed, leaped into Gu Han's backpack.

"Gu Lin, what happened to you?"

Seeing the figures of the two, Gu Chen didn't even have time to breathe a sigh of relief.

He then saw the severe injuries on Gu Lin's body, his expression changed drastically, and he quickly stepped forward to support Gu Lin.

"When I went to find Gu Han, I heard he had gone out hunting, so I thought I'd go look for him," Gu Lin said, using the excuse he had already prepared, and added with a wry smile, "I didn't expect to run into a one-star, fifth-tier sword-toothed pig and almost ended up in its jaws."

The Running Wolf Nation and the Sword-toothed Country were neighbors.

The characteristic demonic beast of the Sword-toothed Country was the sword-toothed pig.

Gu Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"It's good that you're okay."

He took out a Blood Tempering Pill and had Gu Lin take it.

Blood Tempering Pills not only aided Martial Disciples in tempering their Vitality but could also be used to supplement Vitality for Martial Disciples to heal injuries.

Although the effect was not as good as actual healing elixirs, it was still much better than relying on the body's natural healing.

After confirming that Gu Lin's injuries were not serious, Gu Chen escorted the two back to the camp.

"Gu Han, for the next week, don't leave the camp for now."

After Gu Chen sent Gu Han and Gu Lin back to the camp, he prepared to go out again to find his other brothers.

He didn't want them to suffer misfortune like Gu Lin.

However, before leaving, he looked at Gu Han and instructed, "Go out after I've dealt with that matter."

Gu Chen didn't mention what that matter was, but the three present understood perfectly.

A flicker of surprise crossed Gu Han's mind.

He had the confidence to deal with Lei Chao, a ninth-tier Martial Disciple, in a week thanks to his talent for absorption.

Why did Gu Chen also seem unfazed by Lei Chao?

Or was this just something Gu Chen said to prevent them from worrying?

Gu Lin didn't think much of it and left with Gu Han.

On Gu Chen's way to the wilderness, the sword-shaped pendant around his neck suddenly made a sound.

"Your two younger brothers seem to be hiding something from you."

Gu Chen smiled calmly, a deep killing intent hidden in the depths of his eyes.

"They must have encountered those beasts in the wild and were lucky to escape."

Gu Lin claimed his injuries were from a sword-toothed pig, but many of his wounds clearly showed signs of human origin.

For instance, if the wounds on Gu Lin's neck were caused by a sword-toothed pig, Gu Lin would have no chance of surviving.

"Since these people chose to strike, don't blame me for retaliating."

"Decisiveness is a fundamental quality of a Sword Master."

The sword-shaped pendant suddenly said, "I hope you won't disgrace the name of Sword Master."

Just then, Gu Chen suddenly heard the sounds of fighting in the distance.

Gu Chen initially didn't want to meddle, but he suddenly heard someone say with great hostility, "You guys dare to come out instead of being turtles in the Warrior Camp? You must be tired of living."

Gu Chen frowned, his first thought being that his brothers might be in trouble.

Gu Chen immediately unleashed his fastest speed, rushing towards the direction of the sound.

Gu Han escorted Gu Lin to the Warrior Camp. By the time he returned to the Logistics Camp, it was already late at night.

He didn't bring back much prey this time, so he couldn't be bothered to go to the registration office.

After returning to his room, he directly tossed one of the snakeskin bags to Ma Tie.

"You guys can split the prey inside."

For Gu Han, the logistics points from these prey were not a concern.

But for Ma Tie and the others, this was extremely important!

Not only could it earn them logistics points, but it also allowed them to avoid the life-threatening dangers of the wilderness.

To avoid suspicion, the prey Gu Han gave them were carefully selected, weaker beasts.

But for Ma Tie and the others, they were still incredibly valuable.

Just setting aside a portion of the beasts to make roast meat would bring them significant benefits.

Ma Tie and the others were already accustomed to Gu Han's generosity.

In return, they could only do their best to provide Gu Han with a good environment.

For example, the tasks issued by the Logistics Camp to Gu Han, such as clearing the camp, were all taken care of by their roommates.

Seeing Gu Han return to his bed after washing up, Ma Tie and the others stopped their discussions, blew out the candle, and rested together.

Gu Han slept soundly that night.

When he woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.

"Awoo~"

Seeing Gu Han awake, Little Wolf, who had been hiding in Gu Han's blanket all night, came forward and licked Gu Han's cheek.

"Hungry?"

Gu Han scanned the room, confirming no one else was there, before taking out a piece of roast meat to feed Little Wolf.

Immediately after, Gu Han quickly washed up. Instead of heading into the wilderness, he went straight to the registration office of the mess hall.

Meanwhile, in the Warrior Camp, many instructors sat together, their brows furrowed.

"Old Deng, was it you who sent those veterans out hunting yesterday?"

All eyes were on Deng Li.

"Yes, it was me."

Deng Li understood the seriousness of the situation and didn't hide anything, nodding immediately.

"To punish these guys and prevent them from developing a habit of bullying the weak, I made them each hunt a hundred prey before they could complete the task. Otherwise, they wouldn't be allowed to eat for three days."

"But early this morning, the instructors from the veteran camp came to ask me why so many people didn't return to the camp yesterday."

The instructor said gravely, "A total of eighteen veterans did not return to the camp on time. This is no small matter!"

Deng Li's brow furrowed.

"We regularly clear the forests around the camp, so there shouldn't be any particularly powerful demonic beasts."

"Even if a logistics soldier goes out, they won't encounter danger as long as they are careful, let alone these veterans?"

"I suspect they are just trying to vent their dissatisfaction, deliberately lingering in the wild, or planning to return to the camp after completing their task."

Although the other instructors also believed that these veterans shouldn't have met with trouble so easily, those who were willing to stay after their conscription period ended were the true soldiers.

They would also form the main force after the war began.

If something were to happen to these people, it would likely cause considerable unrest in the barracks.

"I have some bad news for you."

Just then, a voice like a thunderous bell echoed from afar.

Deng Li and the other instructors jolted and quickly bowed slightly towards the approaching figure.

"Greetings, Head Instructor."

They never expected that this matter would even alarm Head Instructor Guan Shan!
