A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 783 - 769: Scouts

Although Baiyu felt that the failure rate of this mission was far greater than the success rate, since he had already joined Wildfire, he couldn't say much.

Wildfire above wanted to act this way.

Baiyu had even less right to interfere.

At most, when they reached the mission's location, if things went awry, he would immediately make a run for it.

Besides.

He was extremely interested in Wildfire's Level Three Genetic Elixir, the Gun King. It seemed that the simplest way to obtain this Genetic Elixir was to complete this mission.

As for taking it by force.

Baiyu had considered it, but this idea flashed through his mind and quickly disappeared.

Wildfire's strength on the surface wasn't weak, not to mention the hidden power they had. An Hongye dared to bring Baiyu to Wildfire without fear of inviting trouble, which definitely meant that Wildfire had enough means to deal with a Level Three Mutant.

Besides, Baiyu couldn't bring himself to do such a thing.

He wasn't a good person, but he couldn't commit such an evil act either.

Rumble rumble.

The roar of the trucks began to echo in the canyon.

Three trucks loaded with heavy weaponry began to drive towards their destination.

Along the way.

The scene was desolate.

However, besides the wastelands, there were also forests and rivers in some places.

The ecosystem had a strong self-recovery ability; after years of evolution, this world gradually restored itself from the wasteland it once was.

Humans are also highly adaptable creatures.

Under such conditions, people living in the wasteland gradually adapted to this harsh environment.

Resources.

Almost every day.

People fought to seize resources.

Not only with other humans but also with other mutant creatures.

"Stop, we'll rest here."

The vehicles drove until noon, and the leading convoy stopped. The main person in charge of this operation, who was also the Wildfire leader who had previously received Baiyu, Luo Cheng, stood on the hood and shouted at everyone.

Everyone got off the vehicles one after another and began to take out their portable food.

Baiyu also took out something that looked like a piece of black bread and used it to fill his stomach.

In this world, there was no Spiritual Qi.

After three days of repeated attempts, Baiyu confirmed this.

So he couldn't generate Blood Qi by absorbing Spiritual Qi to resist hunger.

The Blood Qi in his body would decrease with each use. Baiyu dared not waste it casually. He was painfully aware that his main enemies were still the students participating in the competition this time.

Among them.

There were those who could pose a deadly threat to him.

The people of the Yellow Sand Realm, relying only on firearms, found it difficult to effectively harm him.

After Luo Cheng instructed everyone to stop.

Most people began to eat since there was still a long way to go after the break, and everyone had to stay vigilant, leaving no time to eat.

An Hongye was just about to come over to chat with Baiyu.

But then.

A Wildfire member riding a motorcycle hurried back, with a blood-soaked person sitting on the back seat.

"Quick, medical personnel over here, give him first aid."

This Wildfire member shouted.

In an instant, most of the Wildfire members gathered around.

Luo Cheng, An Hongye, and the remaining team leaders all looked at this blood-soaked person with wounds everywhere.

The person was a scout left by Wildfire at the resource site.

But he had been tortured to such an extent.

"No hope."

After two medical personnel rushed to give aid for a while, they finally shook their heads and gave up further treatment.

The injuries were too severe.

Continuing treatment would only waste medicine.

Luo Cheng and a few team leaders all sighed inwardly. If they could save him, they would surely get a lot of useful information.

A member searched his body for a moment and pulled out a piece of paper.

"This seems to be left by him before he died, recording the map of the resource site and also..."

This member didn't continue speaking.

Luo Cheng fixed his gaze on him: "And what else?"

"He told us to run quickly. The company dispatched a squad of Rangers, and there was a particularly strange mutant among them!"

The member hesitated and finally said.

Upon hearing this, everyone was momentarily silent.

This undoubtedly dampened morale.

Rangers were the company's nickname for a unit, highly mobile and elusive, often raiding various resistance group bases.

That's why they were called Rangers.

This was also the company's main external combat force.

A squad of Rangers usually consisted of about twenty to thirty people, a number they could still cope with.

But.

The focus was on that last sentence.

A particularly strange mutant...

If it was a strong mutant, he would directly say to have a very strong mutant, or specify the mutant's level.

However.

The scout didn't.

He used strange to describe this mutant, making it really puzzling.

"What should we do now?"

An Hongye frowned and asked.

Luo Cheng said: "Rest for a while, and continue moving forward. We can't stop this action just because of this small thing.

A squad of Rangers, we can handle it.

As for the mutant, Baiyu, do you have confidence?"

Baiyu was originally silent on one side, but Luo Cheng suddenly asked, catching him a bit off guard.

"Uh, without seeing the specific person, I still can't judge. But if I can't defeat them, I should be able to escape."

Baiyu said tactfully.

Luo Cheng quickly understood his meaning.

Baiyu was saying that if he couldn't win, he would be the first to run.

Of course.

This was also very normal.

On the first day of joining Wildfire, expecting others to risk their lives for you was impossible.

Baiyu helping was already good enough.

By saying this first, he, in contrast, had a certain bottom line in his mind, ensuring they wouldn't fall into a predicament during a confrontation.

"Let's do it this way. No matter what, we have to take a look. We can't waste this trip."

Luo Cheng made a decision.

Soon, the three heavy trucks restarted, and the group became even more vigilant than before.

"Let me tell you, apart from field personnel, those inside the base rarely come out here.

Their natural constitution doesn't suit fieldwork.

Even many who got vaccinated against pollution and radiation can't stay long in the Outer World.

There are actually not many truly suitable for field missions."

An Hongye, sitting in the car, explained the base and other forces in this area to Baiyu.

"Outside here.

Besides the company's Rangers, you also need to watch out for Scavengers and Treasure Hunters. Any Scavenger might be lurking in the dark to take your life.

As for Hunters.

They live by killing and treasure hunting.

In the strongholds of various forces, they'd behave, but out in the world, they are deadly hunters.

Luckily.

A unit like ours won't have Hunters provoking us."

An Hongye just finished speaking when suddenly, a series of loud roars erupted in front of the convoy.
