After disposing of Linda's body, Dean found her one-handed sword from the pile of stones and left. He found a lake along the way. There were some huge shadows swimming in the lake. He raised the one-handed sword and threw it into the lake.
The body was destroyed and the sword sank.
Dean clapped his hands. Even if the consortium's investigation team found some clues, they wouldn't know that he was the one who did it. As for the others, they were killed by Brainpecker. The only one he shot was Gale. He had already smelled him through the smell. He knew that Gale had been incinerated by the dark girl and others.
"It's time to go back to the giant wall …" Dean turned and left. He had stayed outside the giant wall for too long. Moreover, when he attacked Gale, he was soaked in a pool full of rainwater. He didn't need to think to know that the radiation infection on his body was extremely serious.
However, if it did not reach a certain level, the mutation brought about by the nuclear radiation would not be visible on the surface. When the radiation content had accumulated to more than 10%, the body would slowly show radiation black spots like the ordinary people in the slums, or some parts of the skin would age, wrinkle, and even ulcerate.
Moreover, in serious cases, it would lead to sterilization.
However, before leaving, Dean once again went back to the fortress. He picked out a few slightly intact firearms from the arsenal. In addition, he picked out mines, grenades, artillery and other things. He threw them into the storage bag and sent them to the 9th region.
Along the way, he relied on his sense of smell to avoid danger. Basically, he didn't encounter any danger. After all, most of the monsters in the 7th region had been cleaned up. The ferocious monsters had long been killed by the first batch of hunting teams. The rest of the monsters had strong survival abilities.
After returning to the 9th region, Dean found the place where he previously hid the black bow. He found that no one was aware of it. He immediately took out the black bow and two hundred cold crystals.
What surprised him was that the cold crystals were still intact after being hidden for more than two months. There was no sign of melting.
Dean took the black bow and continued to hide the firearms, mines and other things inside. As for the cold crystals, he only kept one hundred. With his current strength, it wasn't difficult to hunt the undeads. Keeping one hundred cold crystals was convenient for future research when he built a secret stronghold outside the giant wall.
After covering the storage place, Dean carried the rest of the cold crystals and left the 9th region. He went to the giant wall passage.
Halfway there, it started to rain.
Dudian immediately went into a nearby broken building to take shelter from the rain. After the rain stopped, he found some large leafy plants and weaved them into a raincoat to prevent him from getting wet while waiting in front of the giant wall.
Dean quickly found the passage when he returned to the giant wall. However, the passage was locked from the inside. The layer of iron plate was extremely thick. Even if he used brute force it would be difficult to break it. He felt that even Glenn wouldn't be able to open it.
Dean sat next to the passage and waited.
This was the fate of hunters and scavengers who did not return on time. They could only wait until the next time the passage opened before they could enter together.
Dean only hoped that the giant wall would send scavengers as soon as possible.
Dean was not idle while waiting. He had thought of the spiral arrow when he was sneak attacking, but he knew that it was very difficult to learn how to shoot spiral arrow. Spiral arrow could improve the destructive power and penetrating power, but the shooting trajectory was different from ordinary arrows. It was affected by the airflow and was easy to deviate.
"Anyway, it's better to practice spiral arrow than continuous arrow." Dean said in his heart.
The destructive power of spiral arrow and ordinary arrow was like the difference between armor-piercing bullets and bullets. The destructive power of spiral arrow was at least doubled or even doubled or tripled. Of course, if time allowed, he could master spiral arrow and superimpose continuous arrow. The lethality would be even more terrible.
However, with such difficulty, it was estimated that it would be difficult to master without three to five years of practice.
Dean decided to practice spiral arrow first. Through this hunt, he increasingly felt that accuracy was too important for a hunter. If he missed when he sneak attacked Gale, then the ending would be another matter.
Even if he missed the dark-skinned girl, he wouldn't be able to let Brainpecker kill her.
If there was no accuracy, even if he learned seven or eight continuous arrows, it would be meaningless if he missed.
Dean took out his dagger and drew a spiral mark on the shaft. Although it was crooked and couldn't be compared to the craftsman's, but he was idle, so he practiced to familiarize himself with the feeling.
"After I go back, I have to improve the range. I didn't learn continuous arrow step by step. Otherwise I wouldn't have time to improve the accuracy and range. If my range was three hundred meters or even five hundred meters, then I wouldn't need to spend so much effort to kill Linda. Especially when I attracted those Brainpecker beasts. I almost lost my life."
Dean lifted the black bow and pulled it to perfection. The arrow spun and flew out rapidly, but when it reached about one hundred meters, it hit the grass in a diagonal line.
"If there is a target there, then the deviation is too big." Although Dean expected that spiral arrow would be difficult, but he didn't think that there would be such a big deviation. Was it because he carved the spiral too deep, which caused the airflow to be too big?
He looked down and thought that it was too big, so he could practice slowly.
Time passed little by little in the process of constantly shooting and picking up arrows.
In the blink of an eye, six days had passed.
The passage, which had been closed for a long time, was slowly opened when Dean ran out to pick up the arrows.
Dean was pleasantly surprised. His food had long been bottomed out. He had been starving for the past few days. If the passage didn't open, then he would have to find grass roots to fill his stomach.
Peter was the one who opened the passage. He was stunned when he saw Dudian.
"Dean?"
"Hey!"
"Why are you here?"
A few familiar voices sounded from behind Peter. It was Mason, Zach, and Sham.
Dean knew that Peter had sent them out to scavenge. Counting his own training days, it was indeed time for them to come out to perform a task.
"I came out to perform a task, but got separated from the team. That's why I waited here." Dean laughed: "Fortunately I waited for you, or else I would have starved to death here."
"Come on, you won't die so easily." Mason came over and laughed.
Sham looked up and down at Dean. He couldn't help but ask: "Did you hunt those monsters? Are you hurt?"
Dean nodded: "I'm fine."
Peter couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you training? Why did they send you out to perform a task?"
Dean looked at him: "It's an urgent task. The consortium is short of manpower, so they transferred me here."
"But you are a newcomer, how can the consortium … …" Peter's face was complex. He knew how dangerous hunting was. Even a junior hunter could die, let alone a young newcomer. However, he also understood the reason in his heart. He could only secretly sigh: "I don't have a light physique. Sure enough, the consortium doesn't pay attention to me. Sigh!"
Dean roughly guessed Peter's thoughts from his expression. He understood Peter's intentions. He was touched: "No matter what, the task has been completed. There should be a lot of rewards. I'll treat Mr. Peter. Well, the three of you too. Be careful when scavenging. I'll be waiting for you to come back for dinner."
"Then we'll go to the most luxurious place!" Mason smiled.
Zach's eyes lit up: "I'm going to the hotel where the nobles eat."
"Can't you save money for Dean?" Sham was angry and said to Dean: "Let's go to Ivy Tavern to eat."
"Damn!" Mason and Zach were shocked: "Is that saving money?!"
Dean was surprised. But from their reaction, he knew that most of them were going to the top taverns in the commercial district. He didn't expect that after a few months, they would know more about the commercial district than him.
"Alright, pay attention to your safety while scavenging." Dudian readily agreed.
Peter laughed: "This time they are going to the 13th district which has been scavenged many times. There is basically no danger. They won't encounter undeads like last time. At most, they will encounter a few rats. As long as they are careful and don't act alone, there is basically no danger."
"Well, there are no resources." Mason whispered.
Peter shook his head and smiled.
There were other scavengers who joined the Mellon consortium at the same time. They looked at Dean's exquisite armor and black bow. Their faces were complex. They didn't expect that in such a short period of time he would become a 'big shot'. But they were still in the same place. They were excited for the little resources they could get from scavenging.
Dean said goodbye to Mason and others and followed Peter into the passage.
"Wait here for a while. I'll send a message to the guardian office. They will send someone to pick you up." Peter laughed.
Dean nodded. Hunters were the same as scavengers. Every time they return to the giant wall, they need to undergo strict testing.
