Chapter 56: Chapter 54: Lisa Squad—If You Like Someone, Confess!
The bicycles moved through the slowly progressing stream of vehicles.
Soon, Lin Feng and his companion arrived at the left side of the Fifth Village.
They passed by this area a couple of times during previous outings, so they were quite familiar with it. However, each time they were in a hurry and never stopped to look closely.
According to what Lisa said before leaving, Lin Feng and his companion relied on the bicycles’ agility to navigate around the Guild and quickly found a special vehicle.
It was special because, compared to the modified large vehicles nearby, it was only seven meters long and less than three meters wide.
The permanent residents of the Fifth Village all hoped their vehicles, which served as their homes, would have as much interior space as possible while maintaining speed.
This way, regardless of whether for living conditions or future modifications to make it into an inn or for other purposes, there would be more surplus space.
Just like Boss Huang’s bus inn, which originally was a small bus, at most eight meters long, but he modified it into a twelve-meter super stretch version with two rows of eight compartments, each two meters wide making it eight meters long.
Including the driver’s cabin and the rear cargo area, such vehicles are quite common in the Fifth Village.
Many large inns have been converted from trailers, starting at fifteen meters long.
Therefore, the seven-meter "small car" stood out among the large vehicles in the queue at the front of the Fifth Village.
Lin Feng took Liu Qian and rode towards it.
Soon, as they got closer, they saw a slightly familiar figure through the glass window with protective iron mesh.
Lisa, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, also noticed the approaching bicycles through the right side mirror.
She immediately recognized Lin Feng, who was riding.
She opened the car door, poked her head out, and waved her hand:
"Over here! Over here!"
She then got out and approached, guiding Lin Feng and his companion, attaching their bicycles to the side bumpers, and boarded the cargo trailer being towed by the vehicle.
They followed her onto the vehicle, which was presumably used for loading goods.
On the five-meter-long and three-meter-wide trailer, there was also a two-meter-high reinforced iron cage. The cage bars were as thick as a thumb, and the welding points were specially strengthened.
It was several times stronger than the rusty cages seen at the slave market, clearly not meant for holding people.
Their preparation for the Rock-Horned Horse capture operation was evidently thorough.
Standing next to the three-meter-long iron cage, Lisa proudly pulled out a black cloth strip and patted the cage:
"When the time comes, just lock the Rock-Horned Horse inside, it won’t be able to turn around in the cage, and if you cover its eyes, it can be transported back safely."
"So, have you decided to join us?"
"How many people in your team? We need to arrange the seating."
Lisa looked at Liu Qian behind Lin Feng. Although this woman was Level 8 Enhancement, her physique was slim and not a combat force in the team.
The handsome man in front should be the leader.
Lin Feng nodded, introducing himself:
"My name is Lin Feng, the captain of the squad."
"This is Liu Qian, in charge of logistics."
"Our squad has seven people in total."
Lisa frowned slightly at his words because seven was a bit too many.
Their minibus was not widened to reduce weight, offering only five meters of rear space in the seven-meter-long vehicle.
"Our squad has only six people, but all six are Level 9 Enhancement. This mission is long, difficult, and the vehicle space is limited. We only recruit elites among elites, and at most, we can add four to five people."
Lin Feng and Liu Qian exchanged glances and responded with a smile:
"No need, our team also has a small electric vehicle that’s even smaller than yours, but it accommodates seven people, and five of our members are Level 9 Enhancements."
"For this mission, if we cooperate with each other, there might be a chance to kill a Tier One Rock-Horned Horse!"
Lisa was first shocked, then thought it made sense. After all, Lin Feng had previously shown keen interest in the bounty order for capturing a Rock-Horned Horse on the second floor of the Guild.
Unlike other Hunters who had self-awareness and left hastily after a brief glance,
Lin Feng pondered the feasibility of the bounty order. His distinct, handsome features very much resembled a celebrity from old Earth...
That’s why Lisa proactively approached.
Five Level 9 Enhancements, plus her six people, made a total of eleven members. Together, their strength paralleled that of the Evolvers’ Desert Hunting Team.
Apart from lacking in high-end combat power, the strength of Level 9 Enhancements was even superior.
Therefore, Lin Feng’s claim of being capable of killing a Tier One Rock-Horned Horse might indeed be feasible.
By then, her squad could use the Tier One Rock-Horned Horse’s carcass to evolve into Evolvers and officially become a Desert Hunting Team.
Lisa was not worried about the other party’s strength surpassing theirs.
After all, her squad had long been famous. The captain, three years ago, already owned the electric car and became a permanent resident, whereas the unfamiliar Lin Feng was likely part of a newly formed Deserted Village Squad.
It just so happened that they recently came into wealth, using all the points to enhance their level and equip an electric vehicle, leaving them likely lacking in other combat gear.
Such teams had an obvious characteristic: they looked dazzling, with seemingly formidable strength...
But due to their rudimentary equipment or shortage of resources, their actual combat power was far inferior to other top Deserted Village Squads.
This was often the foolishness of newcomers in the wasteland.
Unbalanced development leading to hollow strength.
Commonly referred to as a ’softshell shrimp’ squad.
Outwardly fierce and gallant, but they crumbled when engaged in real combat.
This was the type of partner Lisa’s team needed to seize full initiative and control of the mission, maximizing their utility over Lin Feng’s squad.
