"In the old soldier barracks, someone discovered several recently deceased skeletons."

Guan Shan, his face full of worry, said in a deep voice, "According to the military doctor's judgment, these skeletons should all belong to the old soldiers who went out yesterday."

Deng Li and the others' faces immediately changed drastically.

"How is this possible?"

They instinctively wanted to refute Guan Shan's words.

But if even Guan Shan was alarmed, the military doctor's judgment was likely not wrong.

"Did the military doctor find out the cause?"

Facing Deng Li's question, Guan Shan first nodded, then immediately shook his head.

"The military doctor only said they died by human hands, but couldn't determine exactly who did it."

Deng Li and the other instructors exchanged glances, seeing a hint of unease in each other's eyes.

Although the barracks were within Mushan City, they were already extremely close to the border.

There would basically be no outsiders coming to this area.

This meant that these deceased old soldiers were most likely killed by their own people.

"Are there any conflicts that cannot be resolved within the barracks? Must it come to this?"

"Could it be those people, Gu Chen's group, who did this?"

An instructor, as if recalling something, said to Deng Li, "Didn't Old Deng punish them precisely because they gathered to cause trouble and bully new recruits?"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Deng Li and the others looked at him as if he were an idiot.

"Did you forget to bring your brain before leaving today? Even if those new recruits ambushed them, they couldn't possibly kill so many old soldiers!"

"Then it couldn't be that these old soldiers killed each other, right?"

"Perhaps someone held a long-standing grudge and found an opportunity for revenge in the wilderness, leading to the current situation."

Everyone chattered, each with their own guesses.

Deng Li sighed, his gaze full of self-blame as he looked at Guan Shan.

"Regardless, letting them go out hunting was my decision. I take full responsibility for this matter."

Guan Shan waved his hand.

"Old Deng, you don't need to be like this. Since they chose to stay and become formal soldiers, they must have been prepared to stay here forever."

"Your punishment of them did not violate any regulations; they were just unlucky."

"The military doctor is still examining the remaining bodies. All those confirmed dead will be treated as fallen in battle, and their families will receive death benefits."

Deng Li nodded with a somber expression.

"Understood. I will cover this death benefit."

Guan Shan sighed, stepped forward, and patted Deng Li's shoulder.

"It's been restless lately. The court might go to war with the Sword-toothed Country at any time. You must train the new recruits well, lest they can't even hold a weapon when they get to the battlefield."

Then, Guan Shan looked at the instructors.

"There's still a month until the Tenth Battalion Competition. All new recruits in Mushan City will participate."

"Our battalion has always ranked in the lower-middle among the various battalions in recent years. We must perform well this time."

Mentioning the Tenth Battalion Competition, the instructors all grinned.

"With Yu Qitian and Gu Chen here this time, our battalion is definitely going to achieve a good ranking."

After encouraging the instructors, Guan Shan, for once, personally observed the training of the warriors.

He even picked out a few promising individuals and personally offered them guidance.

Among them were Gu Chen and Yu Qitian.

The treatment of being personally guided by the Head Instructor made the other warriors envious.

After inspecting, Guan Shan also headed towards the cookhouse.

Cookhouse.

It was shortly after the soldiers from various battalions had finished their meal.

The warriors were training, while the logistics soldiers were tidying up the scattered camp.

Gu Han arrived at the registration desk, casually picked up two steamed buns, and greeted the old cook soldier, Li Qiang, with a smile.

"Why are you empty-handed today?"

These past few days, Gu Han had been bringing bags and packages every day for registration.

Even the old logistics soldiers didn't register as diligently as Gu Han.

As the elder at the registration desk, Li Qiang was naturally familiar with Gu Han.

"Yesterday's haul wasn't much; all the old warriors snatched it up," Gu Han said casually.

Li Qiang had already heard about the Warrior Camp.

Although those old warriors didn't think much of low-level demonic beasts, whenever they approached, the beasts would flee in terror. It was perfectly normal for Gu Han's hunting to be affected.

"Then why did you come to me today?"

Li Qiang looked curiously at Gu Han, who didn't treat him like an outsider at all.

Gu Han swallowed a wolf meat bun whole, mumbling indistinctly, "Old Li, among the items that can be exchanged at the Logistics Points, are there demonic beast cores?"

Logistics Points were the most important incentive for logistics soldiers.

Gu Han had only heard that Logistics Points could be used to exchange for basic martial arts materials, such as Blood Tempering Pills.

But thinking of the demonic beast cores Little Wolf needed to improve its bloodline, Gu Han decided to come and ask.

"Demonic beast cores?"

Li Qiang was stunned by Gu Han's question.

"Wait a moment, let me check."

Although he was in charge of managing the Logistics Camp's registration, most logistics soldiers came here to exchange for Blood Tempering Pills or some basic armor and weapons.

Demonic beast cores were something no one cared about.

Li Qiang flipped through the Logistics Department's exchange list and quickly found the page detailing demonic beast cores.

"They can be exchanged, but it requires five thousand Logistics Points to get one demonic beast core."

Five thousand Logistics Points?

Gu Han couldn't help but twitch his lips.

A wild rabbit was worth one Logistics Point.

To exchange for a demonic beast core, one would need five thousand rabbits...

He was afraid that even if he slaughtered all the rabbits in the surrounding mountains, he still wouldn't be able to gather enough Logistics Points for ten demonic beast cores!

"How many Logistics Points do I have right now?"

Gu Han came every day, submitted his prey, and left. He hadn't really paid attention to how many Logistics Points he had accumulated.

Li Qiang checked and was also taken aback.

"Eight thousand three hundred and fifty-four."

As he spoke the number, he couldn't help but gasp.

In just a few days, Gu Han had surpassed the accumulation of the old logistics soldiers over more than two years!

What a terrifying concept this was.

However, unlike Li Qiang's reaction, Gu Han merely sighed speechlessly.

"That's only one demonic beast core..."

Li Qiang's lips twitched, feeling that Gu Han might be a little crazy.

With over eight thousand Logistics Points, the other party was still not satisfied?

"Old Li, give me one demonic beast core. Try to pick a good one if possible."

Since he couldn't improve Little Wolf's bloodline for the time being, he might as well let it fill its stomach.

"What do you need a demonic beast core for?"

Li Qiang's relationship with Gu Han had been quite good these past few days. While asking, he walked to a nearby cubicle to search.

Demonic beast cores could generally only be used to refine pills or train battle pets.

For battle pets, the effect was even better than some rare heavenly treasures.

But Gu Han was neither an alchemist nor did he have a battle pet.

Was he exchanging for the demonic beast core to worship it?
