"After the completion of this task, you don't have to be a hunter anymore, okay?" Jenny looked up at Dean, full of expectation. Now a year had passed. She knew that Dean was no longer a scavenger, but a hunter.
Although she was not interested in the consortium's business, but more or less she knew that the hunter's duty was to clear the dangers outside the giant wall. In the past, she would unconditionally support Dean to do what he wanted to do. But now the feelings were deep. She did not want to see Dean leave the giant wall again when she thought that Dean would encounter danger.
Looking at her hopeful eyes, Dean's heart softened. He nodded: "Okay."
Jenny couldn't help but be overjoyed. She hugged him tightly and buried her head in his arms: "In the future, we will be magistrates. We will be together every day. How happy it will be!"
Dean's heart was full of yearning when he heard her words. The more he fell in love with this girl, the more he did not want to face the life outside the giant wall. He even did not want to practice archery. When he was shooting, his mind was full of her figure. It was difficult to concentrate his thoughts. He just wanted to accompany her every day and look at her forever.
Since the two fell in love six months ago, Dean would go to the magistrate to accompany Jenny back to her home every day after completing his training. Whenever Jenny had a holiday, he would take a leave to accompany her to play around.
In such a life, he found himself tired of the boring archery practice. Even the alchemy factory that was ready was abandoned. He did not go back to visit for a long time.
Dean felt tired every time he thought of his ideals and ambitions. He just wanted to accompany the girl every day. He did not want to go outside the giant wall and train hard.
"My father will give you a task in a few days. You go back and prepare for it. I won't bother you." Jenny raised her head from Dean's chest and looked at him.
Dean smiled and said: "You are quite sensible."
"Of course." Jenny proudly said.
Dean also felt that he needed to prepare well. Since the other party had given him this opportunity, he had to grasp it. If the task was beyond his ability, he would decisively refuse. But if it was just a little difficult, he was willing to fight to prove to Jenny's father that he was worthy of his daughter's life!

Two days later.
Dean received a notice that he was assigned to the third team to carry out a mission outside the giant wall.
The content of the mission was to head to Zone 2 and slay the named monster of Zone 2 — Corpse Eater!
"Corpse Eater!" Dean frowned as he read the content of the mission: "The captain of the third team is an intermediate hunter and a knight. The ghoul's hunting level is 18. With the captain's strength, he should be able to resist one or two of them. With the cooperation of the others and me, the chance of killing it should be about 60%."
During this year of training, he had taken the time to read the atlas of the monsters outside the giant wall. It was said that this atlas was passed down from the inner wall. It recorded the basic information of the various monsters outside the giant wall. Moreover, according to this information, he was able to evaluate the hunting level of the monsters.
In the long history of development, there would be some deviation between the hunting level and the actual combat power of the monsters in the early days, but now the deviation was very small. It was basically in line with the estimated hunting level, and the deviation would not be more than one level.
After thinking for a moment, Dean immediately decided to execute it.
Although it was difficult, but it was not without hope.
Dudian packed his luggage. He put the detonator that he had secretly prepared six months ago into his bag. It might be useful in a critical moment. After all, the fortress in area no 7 should have been scavenged by now. Basically, there wouldn't be anything left.
When Dean came to the hunter's hall, he immediately saw the third team. There were a total of four people, including him. This was the standard size of a team. Moreover, the position allocation was also very particular. Each team must have a knight or a defensive warrior, and the same was true for hunters. The remaining three vacancies could be filled at will, either two thieves or three knights.
"Are you Dean?" Among the four people, a tall youth took the initiative to ask when he saw Dean.
Dean said apologetically: "Sorry, I'm late."
Another female hunter in her early twenties was carrying a crossbow on her back. She looked at the newcomer and could not help but say: "What is going on? The people above have drunk too much. This is assessed as an 'intermediate' task. How could they let a rookie join the mission? Do they think our lives are worth shit? "
"That's right, Captain. Could the higher-ups have made a mistake?" Another warrior carrying a giant sword said. From the shape of the sword, it was clear that most of them were defensive swordsmen, not offensive swordsmen like Linda.
"This is the decision of the top. Don't talk about it. Get ready to go." The tall youth slightly waved his hand to stop the two from continuing to talk. He said to Dean: "I heard that your magic marks are 'Fear'. The task of tracking the ghouls will be handed over to you."
Dean nodded: "No problem!"
The female hunter and the young swordsman were stunned for a moment when they heard the captain's words. They looked at each other but didn't continue to say anything. They just coldly snorted. There was still a bit of dissatisfaction in their eyes.
Soon, everyone got on the horse. The tall youth captain took the lead and went out of the giant wall.
After a few hours of travel, they passed through the radiation zone and arrived in front of the giant wall.
In front of the passage, there were people from the Mellon consortium waiting for them. When they saw Dean and others, they immediately greeted and helped to open the passage.
As they passed through the dark passage, Dean followed the others. As usual, he stopped in front of the goddess of the hunt engraved on the wall and prayed. Then he left the passage and came to the outside of the giant wall.
This passage was different from the passage that Dean had used to go to area no. 1. Outside was not a giant forest, but a desolate plain. The ground was full of rubble. Under the rubble, the outline of the foundation of the building was faintly visible.
"Let's go." It was obviously not the first time for the tall youth to come here. After a quick glance, he confirmed that there was no danger around. He took out a map from his backpack and looked at it. He took the lead to lead the way.
Dean, the female hunter, the swordsman, and the other thief followed closely behind.
"Rookie, if you smell any dangerous smell, remember to remind us." The swordsman said to Dean.
Dean frowned but didn't say anything.
"The ghoul's favorite area of activity is the carrion swamp on the north side." The tall youth said to the crowd: "Hurry up. There are traces of other monsters wandering nearby. It's a big guy."
