Chapter 55

"Ridiculous! A second-rank housewife, a first-rank unemployed loafer, and a zero-rank teenager who just came of age—these are the hunters the base sent?"

In a bright room, a middle-aged man with a limp slammed his hand on the table and shouted at the three people in front of him.

He was the logistics officer of the Fire Wolf Team stationed at the supply base, Xu Ji. However, before Bu Fan arrived, he had already found out that this man had a nickname, "Wingless Chicken," because he had a limp, his name contained the character for "machine," and he was petty and mean, which earned him this nickname.

"Sir, may I ask if we can get the mission credentials from you if we bring enough mission rations?" Bu Fan ignored Xu Ji's rage and asked calmly.

"Complete the mission? Are you kidding me? Do you know where we are? This is a supply point that the Fire Wolf Team spent five months to capture. The surrounding area is filled with second-rank and higher mutated beasts and zombies. You three actually think you can complete the mission? Dream on!" Xu Ji turned around and sneered at Bu Fan.

"By the way, I see your mission team is supposed to be six people. Why are there only three of you? Where are the other three?" Xu Ji suddenly remembered the details on the mission card, looked at the three of them, and asked in confusion.

"They split up due to conflicts and are completing the mission separately!" Bu Fan answered briefly.

"Ha, you're definitely newbies!" A mocking smile appeared on Xu Ji's lips as he looked at the three of them.

As he looked, he was pleasantly surprised to see that the woman hiding behind them was quite attractive!

"Hmm, if you three want to complete the mission and get the mission credentials, it's not impossible, but I don't care how many teams you split into. To complete the mission, you must meet the required quota. That means you need to prepare one ton of mutated beast ingredients to get the mission credentials from me, understand?" Xu Ji suddenly sat down and said to them.

"Alright, I understand!" Bu Fan nodded.

Xu Ji gave Bu Fan a cold look and sneered, "Kid, don't agree so quickly. This mission isn't that easy to complete!"

"But!" Xu Ji's expression changed, becoming more mysterious. "If you pay the appropriate price, I can help you!" He then glanced at Feng Yuan behind them.

Seeing this, Bu Fan sighed. This was the end of the world!

People's desires were amplified infinitely, and any woman with some beauty would become an object of desire for the strong, even someone like this third-rate cripple!

"Thank you, Mr. Xu. If we need help, we will certainly seek your assistance!" Despite his disgust, Bu Fan did not lose his composure and responded with a smile.

Xu Ji clearly did not expect Bu Fan to refuse him. His face, which had been full of anticipation, turned cold when he heard Bu Fan's refusal.

"Fine, if that's the case, you can leave!" Xu Ji coldly waved his hand and said.

After Bu Fan and the others left the room, Xu Ji's cold face showed a hint of malice, "Hmph, dreaming of completing the mission, huh?"

After they left the room, Feng Yuan subconsciously asked Bu Fan, "Bu Fan, I feel like that officer had something in mind at the end!"

"Never mind him. Let's prepare for the mission and leave once it's done!" Bu Fan shook his head and said. He didn't have time to deal with a team logistics officer.

"Let's go, buy a map first, then head out for the mission!" Seeing that the Fire Wolf Team's store was not far from the logistics department, Bu Fan said in a serious tone.

After paying a substantial amount of money, Bu Fan obtained a map of the surrounding area from the Fire Wolf Team. He looked at his credit card with a pained expression.

He had instinctively kept 300 credit points for emergencies, but now a single map had cost him 200 credit points!

"Sigh, the Fire Wolf Team is really just robbing people. They charge for parking, accommodation, meals, and even a map is so expensive!" Bu Fan couldn't help but complain as they left the store.

"That's true. Otherwise, why do so many teams rush to expand supply points? But they will only profit for a few years. As human forces expand, this area will soon become a safe zone, and the profits from supply points will decrease significantly!" Feng Yuan explained to Bu Fan.

"Let's go, forget about it. We need to complete the mission and leave here as soon as possible!" Bu Fan shook his head and said seriously.

Then, the three of them headed out of the supply point again!

...

In the room of the Eagle Team, Iron Monkey was idly waiting for the leader to come out.

"Everyone, get up, we have work to do!" At that moment, a loud voice rang out, and the leader of the Eagle Team, Eagle, and another man walked in.

"Xiu, show the photo to everyone! Our next mission is to find the guy in the photo within the camp. Whoever finds him will get a big reward from me!" The leader of the Eagle Team, Eagle, shouted.

Then, Xiu took out a color-printed sheet of paper with Bu Fan's photo on it.

Iron Monkey had only glanced at it casually, as his mind was on Feng Yuan and he didn't have the time to look for anyone.

But that one glance made him unable to take his eyes off the paper!

"Boss, I think I've seen this person!" Iron Monkey pointed at Bu Fan's photo and said cautiously.

Before Eagle could speak, Xiu quickly rushed over and asked excitedly, "Kid, you've seen him? Are you sure it's him? Where is he?"

Iron Monkey was startled by Xiu's reaction and stood there for a moment before responding in a low voice, "I think it's him. I just saw him on the main street outside."

"Where are they now? Do you know where they went?" Xiu asked anxiously.

"Um, I... I asked a brother to... follow them!" Iron Monkey stammered.

"Good job, well done! Ha, kid, you have potential. I'll give you a reward when I get back!" Xiu said happily.

Just as he finished speaking, the door opened, and a thin figure ran in, shouting, "Brother Monkey, those three people..."

He stopped mid-sentence when he saw that even the leader was there, and he dared not shout anymore.

"Where did they go? Speak quickly!" Iron Monkey knew who he was referring to, as he had assigned this guy to follow Bu Fan and the others.

"Out... out of town. They seem to be heading towards Bear Wolf Mountain!" The man quickly said, not understanding why Iron Monkey was acting this way.

"Bear Wolf Mountain? Eagle, gather the team and set out immediately. I'll go back and call the others. We'll meet at Bear Wolf Mountain!" Xiu said seriously after listening, then quickly left.

"Everyone, get your gear ready, we're heading out!" Eagle shouted loudly.
