Chapter 39: Chapter 38: Mission Handover, Escaping a Calamity
Chen Shanshan was stunned, obviously not expecting that under such a crisis, the first thing Lin Feng would care about was this trivial matter.
So she nodded with pain:
"Killed, killed him. The last arrow hit its mark, the Wolf Fang Arrow pierced through his heart, along with a shot to the shoulder, he bled all the way, there’s absolutely no chance of survival..."
Lin Feng nodded:
"Killed... as long as he’s dead!"
Chen Shanshan coughed:
"But because of this, we’ve thoroughly offended Nongzhuang Village."
"They might already be searching in the Fifth Village. Taking me back will only bring harm to you all..."
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Chen Shanshan muttered to herself:
"Never thought that the first time I killed someone, it would bring such a big crisis. In the future... in the future, I’ll leave it to you..."
Lin Feng inspected the wound, and behind him, Liu Mingfei rode his bike over.
Ding Yi and Liu Qian came forward to check on Chen Shanshan’s condition, took out the prepared hemostatic medicine and disinfectant bandages for this mission, and performed a simple bandaging.
Seeing that Lin Feng was ignoring her words, Chen Shanshan informed the rest of the team of the trouble she’d caused, hoping they would leave as soon as possible and stay away from her.
Ding Yi frowned slightly, stood behind the captain, slowly supporting her up, and looked at Lin Feng, expressing his stance.
Beside them, Liu Qian squinted slightly and began to analyze:
"We’ve already completed the task, the three Level 9 Desolate Wolves are enough to get the extra reward, an Evolution Agent."
"As long as the captain takes the Evolution Agent, becoming an Evolver, his status will undergo a tremendous change, enough to deal with this crisis!"
As soon as she finished, everyone’s eyes turned to Lin Feng, who was standing at the back.
After the wolf hunting operation, Lin Feng, with his overwhelming strength, had already become the true backbone of the team.
During Qi Mountain’s attack, it was Lin Feng who first reacted, decisively countered, and deployed personnel to pursue both the Desolate Wolf and the escaping attacker.
Now, everyone within considers Lin Feng the true leader. Of the required three Level 9 Desolate Wolves in this wolf hunting operation, Lin Feng killed two of them.
Including the most powerful Wolf Pack Leader.
So the Evolution Agent in the task reward was already considered Lin Feng’s by default.
Only by Lin Feng becoming stronger can he lead everyone to form an even stronger Desert Hunting Team.
At this moment, Lin Feng, who was being watched by everyone, dug out the heart of a Level 9 Desolate Wolf from the pile of wolf corpses in the tricycle compartment and handed it to Chen Shanshan:
"Eat it. Replenish your nutrition to recover quickly."
Then he said to the other three:
"Chen Shanshan is the captain and once saved my life. This Evolution Agent should be hers no matter what."
"The guy she was chasing was just a logistics manager of a Desert Hunting Team, even if he’s from one of the Four Major Villages, he’s just an outcast. No need to worry."
With some comfort, Lin Feng continued:
"Let’s go, the most important thing now is to settle the task and get the Evolution Agent before considering other things."
Everyone nodded, and Ding Yi and Liu Qian worked together to lift the captain, but unfortunately, there was no place to squeeze into the tricycle.
In the end, Lin Feng had no choice but to carry her princess-style, while Ding Yi and Liu Qian each rode a bicycle towards Oasis Town.
On the way, Chen Shanshan curled up in Lin Feng’s arms, pulling the hood over her head tightly, trying to cover her face as much as possible.
Lin Feng only felt the girl’s breathing become heavier in his arms, and her body temperature was gradually rising.
This was a good thing, indicating that after eating the wolf heart, her injuries were rapidly healing.
The fortunate thing was, after hunting the Desolate Wolf Pack, everyone had advanced six to seven kilometers, now they just need to head directly north from the Valley of the Decisive Battle, straight into the highway, and then...
They could see Oasis Town not far ahead.
By slightly quickening their pace, they could catch up.
The group returned to the passing last of the Fifth Village.
Put the extra survival equipment on the vehicle, such as water buckets and jerky, as well as the Long-blade Shotgun, bicycle, and other spoils of war, back in the bus hotel.
Then arrange for Ding Yi and Liu Mingfei to guard the compartment and take care of the wolf cub.
Lin Feng and Liu Qian took the injured Chen Shanshan to the Guild.
They hadn’t registered the Deserted Village Squad, so only Chen Shanshan, who had the identity of a Hunter, could come for the handover.
Li Hu’s squad, now led by Ah Lian, also brought three team members and a Desolate Wolf corpse over.
A half-hour later, they met outside the Hunting Wilderness Guild, where they went inside to deliver the task.
Ah Lian successfully obtained Li Hu’s Hunter license and signed the contract as a member of the Deserted Village Squad.
The counter staff immediately took out the Bounty Order and handed over the token left by the issuer, an emblem of the Holy Spring Sect, to everyone:
"Take this to the foremost Holy Spring Village, where someone will lead you inside to handle the reward based on the task’s completion degree."
Lin Feng looked at the silver-golden wellhead-sized emblem in Chen Shanshan’s hands, somewhat confused:
"Shouldn’t we do the exchange at the Guild? What if there’s a dispute?"
The staff froze for a moment, then blandly replied:
"This is the Holy Spring Sect."
After speaking, he gestured for the next Hunter to approach.
Lin Feng wanted to say more, but Chen Shanshan grabbed him:
"Let’s go, the Church doesn’t care about this little amount of points."
And inside the Hunting Wilderness Guild, several gazes watched them leave, including the shopkeeper from the Nongzhuang Inn.
Coming outside the Guild, Ah Lian instructed her three team members to attend to their wounds first and then followed Lin Feng’s group on a bicycle.
Walking on the flat highway, they quickly passed Mechanical Village and Dawn Village, arriving at the stern of the Oasis Battleship, seeing beneath the photovoltaic panels on the Oasis’ wings, Nongzhuang Village and Holy Spring Village closely following on the left and right.
On the left side, Nongzhuang Village was mostly in direct sunlight, and just now, Chen Shanshan chased all the way over here, getting shot at by the village entrance guards.
However, at this moment, a batch of personnel on small electric bikes suddenly rushed out from Nongzhuang Village.
Speeding towards the group.
Realizing something was wrong, Lin Feng immediately pedaled the tricycle harder, speeding up to directly charge towards the right-sided Holy Spring Village.
Fortunately, Lin Feng’s group was not far from Holy Spring Village, less than five hundred meters.
After accelerating, they passed the intercepting electric bike fleet, and just before being caught, they arrived safely at the Holy Spring Village gate.
On two armored vehicles painted with the Church’s emblem, stood four armed personnel in gray robes, who leveled their guns at the group from behind.
Lin Feng slammed the brakes, took the emblem token from Chen Shanshan’s hand, and reached out from the vehicle’s sunroof:
"I’m here for a task handover! I have the token!"
The armed personnel of the Church saw the silver-golden emblem and immediately raised their guns, signaling Lin Feng and the others to enter the village.
Then they pointed their guns at the electric bike team that was already catching up behind, stopping them from aiming their guns, and sternly ordered:
"This is Holy Spring Village, put down your guns!"
The leader of the bike team, seeing they had no opportunity to negotiate, had no choice but to order his men to put away their guns and retreat a hundred meters to avoid conflict between the two villages.
As they entered Holy Spring Village, the group, especially Ah Lian following behind, was so scared she was pale and sweating.
Just moments ago, the people on three electric bikes behind her tricycle had drawn rifles, aiming at the armored tricycle ahead with Chen Shanshan’s group.
If not for the fear imposed by the Church’s armed personnel, it would have turned into a sieve in seconds.
Once inside Holy Spring Village, the group collectively breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down.
Lin Feng and his group turned to see that the electric bike team from Nongzhuang Village was still tailing them.
It was clear their target was the one who had killed one of their clansmen—Chen Shanshan.
At this moment, two cultivators from the Holy Spring Sect approached:
"Follow me, the Church Father has already been informed and will meet you all at the cathedral."
