Luo Hua's Call

In group battles, Chen Gu's skill with a Machine Gun alone rivaled that of ten Warriors.

However, Machine Guns were only effective against monsters below the General-level Beast rank.

Against General-level Beasts and above, specially made bullets were needed to break through their defenses.

"Alright, let's go!"

By then, Captain Gao Feng had finally finished collecting materials from the Bloodthirsty Tank. He shouted for everyone to retreat.

Luo Xia and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

More and more monsters were heading their way...

Whoosh, whoosh—

Luo Xia and the others picked a direction that was easier to break through and charged together.

Rumble...

Hundreds of enraged monsters gave chase. The entire street seemed to be in the midst of an earthquake, and the ruined residences and houses trembled slightly, echoing with rumbles.

"This is way too terrifying."

Luo Feng glanced back. Seeing the frenzied monsters charging after them like a flood made his scalp tingle.

"This way."

When being pursued by a beast horde, running down the main road was suicide.

So after running for some distance, Luo Xia and the others immediately turned into an alley.

The alley was narrow. The monsters could not even move through two abreast and could only enter one at a time.

Taking advantage of this opportunity,

the Fire Hammer Squad hurriedly widened the distance between themselves and the monsters. They kept weaving through narrow alleys, and before long, they had completely shaken off the beast horde.

Half an hour later.

Luo Xia and the others quietly arrived at the Heavenly Terrace of the eighteen-story Hai Hao Hotel.

Once Luo Xia and Luo Feng had firmly shut the door to the Heavenly Terrace, everyone finally relaxed.

Captain Gao Feng laughed heartily.

"Haha, everyone did well this time! Chen Gu's shot was brilliant, and Luo Xia did well too. He saved Zhang Ke. That Bloodthirsty Tank was a Low-level General-level Beast, and among Low-level General-level Beast monsters, it was one of the harder ones to hunt."

"This time, we made a small profit. I didn't expect such gains on the first day. This is a great start. After a month, our harvest should be substantial."

Luo Xia and the others laughed at that.

Just then, Luo Feng, standing nearby, suddenly said, "Huh? A call?"

Luo Xia asked, "Is it from home?"

Luo Feng nodded. "Second Brother called."

"Why would Second Brother call at a time like this?" Luo Xia hesitated. "Could something have happened at home?"

"Probably not. Our family lives in Bright Moon District now. What could possibly happen? He's probably worried about the two of us, so he called."

Luo Feng said.

When someone called this combat Communication Watch, it made no sound and would not disturb a Warrior.

Only when the Warrior checked the watch personally would he notice whether someone had called him.

Luo Xia said, "Eldest brother, call Second Brother back and ask him."

Luo Feng nodded and had the watch return the call.

Beep, beep, beep...

Before long, Luo Hua's voice came from the watch. "Hello, Eldest Brother."

Luo Feng smiled and asked, "We were busy earlier and didn't see your call. Xiao Hua, did something happen at home?"

Luo Hua laughed over the phone. "Nothing happened. I was just worried about you and Third Brother. Parents kept asking me, but they didn't dare call you two, so they had me ask."

Luo Feng looked at Luo Xia, then replied to Luo Hua with a smile.

"What could happen to us? You and Parents can rest easy!"

"Mm, I understand. I'll tell them in a little while," Luo Hua said.

At that moment, Luo Xia leaned closer and asked, "Second Brother, aren't Parents home?"

Luo Hua gave an embarrassed laugh over the phone. "Parents went out to buy groceries. They're hosting my girlfriend tonight..."

Luo Xia could not help exchanging a glance with Luo Feng, then laughed. "Second Brother, when did you get a girlfriend?"

"Almost a month ago. Xiao Nan hadn't agreed before, so I didn't tell you guys," Luo Hua said.

"Not bad, Second Brother! Looks like I'm getting another sister-in-law."

"Another sister-in-law? You mean Eldest Brother?"

"That's right. You have no idea, when we went to the HR Alliance before, we ran into..."

"Enough, enough." Luo Feng blushed slightly as he interrupted his younger brother. "We'll talk about this when we get back. Later."

Luo Xia grinned at Luo Feng, then said to Luo Hua over the phone, "Second Brother, Eldest Brother is embarrassed. I'll tell you when I get back!"

"Alright! Then I'll wait for you to come back."

Luo Hua was also laughing warmly over the phone. "Eldest Brother, Third Brother, be careful out there. You must come back safely!"

"Mm, we will. Bye."

Luo Feng said before hanging up.

Seeing that Luo Feng and Luo Xia had finished their call, Gao Feng clapped his hands and said to everyone, "Alright, gather around. Let's hold a quick meeting... Haha, just a little joke. We did exceptionally well this time! Same old rules: the spoils will be distributed according to everyone's contributions in battle!"

"Once we finish this hunt and return to the Supply Base, we'll settle the overall distribution."

At this point, Gao Feng's expression turned serious—

"But I need to remind you all: everyone must remain cautious and vigilant! This is a densely built-up area, the location of the monsters' Nest!"

"There are many General-level Beast monsters throughout County Town. Don't let your guard down, or you'll be in trouble if you fall into danger. A great many Warriors die every year."

"Yes, Captain!"

Luo Xia and the others all answered.

"Everyone fought fiercely just now and expended quite a bit of stamina. We were also traveling last night, so rest now. We'll resume operations at four this afternoon!"

Gao Feng made the arrangements for what came next.

"Yes."

"Roar, time to rest!"

Luo Xia and the others were rather happy. On the Heavenly Terrace, some leaned against one another while others lay down and began to rest.

The previous battle had consumed quite a bit of Luo Xia's stamina.

He practically leaned against his eldest brother Luo Feng and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

Elsewhere.

The Tiger Fang Squad, which had come to hunt the Silver Moon Direwolf, had already entered County Town No. 0201.

They were carefully making their way through a ruined alley where even some walls had collapsed.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, the Captain of the Tiger Fang Squad raised a hand, signaling his members to halt.

In a low voice, he said, "Listen carefully, everyone. This time, we have only one target—the injured Silver Moon Direwolf!"

He swept his gaze across the members, then continued, "So in this County Town, we must not provoke any other monsters! Avoid them if we can, flee if we can. It's best not to fight them at all. If we get injured, we'll be in trouble!"

The other five members all nodded solemnly.

An Advanced Beast General Silver Moon Direwolf was worth more than hunting dozens of Low-level General-level Beast monsters.

Still not fully reassured, the Captain continued.

"And... once we catch up to the Silver Moon Direwolf, remember this! It is already seriously injured. Two or three attacks from us will be enough to kill it!"

"I'll remind you one more time: do not, under any circumstances, fight it head-on! If the Silver Moon Direwolf is truly forced to risk its life, at least one or two of the six of us will die!"

"We only need to keep wounding it, keep it bleeding, and wear it down until it dies!"

The other members nodded solemnly again.

At that moment, Zhang Zehu said, "I'm just worried that another Warrior squad might come and steal it."

Hearing this, the Captain of the Tiger Fang Squad smiled confidently.

"Don't worry. An area at this County Town level can hardly attract War God-level Warrior squads. There are probably only a few squads in a County Town, and our squad should be the strongest here. We don't need to fear anyone trying to steal it!"

Generally, stronger Warrior-General-level squads operated in Urban District-level areas.

Those places were more challenging, and there were more General-level Beasts that operated alone!

The Fire Hammer Squad usually operated in Urban District-level areas. They had only come to County Town No. 0201 this time because they were bringing along the two Newcomers, Luo Xia and Luo Feng!
