Starting from the office buildings we kept passing through

Chapter 3 Forest Gray Wolf

"What are you doing downstairs? Do you want to go into that jungle?"

"good."

Chen Hao nodded.

"We don't have much food, and we don't have much water either."

"If we stay here, we'll eventually starve and die of thirst."

"So I'm planning to organize a group of people to explore the jungle together."

"Furthermore, as you know, there's a chance of obtaining cards by killing those creatures, and that's also my goal."

After Chen Hao finished speaking, many people showed expressions of interest.

But the thought of fighting wild beasts made him hesitate as soon as he was about to speak.

Therefore, in the end, only three people were willing to follow Chen Hao.

Two men and one woman.

"Have you thought this through? This isn't child's play; one wrong move and you could lose your life."

Chen Hao looked at the three of them and issued a final warning.

"I've thought it through," the tallest of the three nodded solemnly.

This man's name is Zhao Long. He is nearly 1.9 meters tall and is the tallest person in the entire office. He also works out regularly. Chen Hao has seen him at the gym several times, and the two have a pretty good relationship.

"Hmph, don't underestimate me," the only woman among the three snorted coldly.

Her name is Liu Yun. She's not particularly pretty, has short hair, and looks very capable. She's known as the tomboy in the office. She doesn't like wearing makeup and usually comes to work in sportswear, just like she is now, wearing a black tracksuit.

As for the last person, he nodded silently.

This is a middle-aged man with an honest face. He is a warehouse worker at Chen Hao's company. He was in the office to deliver a batch of samples, but he happened to be transported here by chance.

This person was also the one Chen Hao was least familiar with, and he didn't even know his name, because his usual work didn't involve dealing with the warehouse.

"Alright, in that case, you choose a weapon, and let's set off."

"By the way, brother, what's your name?"

Chen Hao asked the middle-aged man.

The other person, somewhat shy, replied in a accented Mandarin, "Boss, you can just call me Li Laoshi."

"Okay, Mr. Li."

"Also, you don't need to call me boss, just call me by my name Chen Hao."

Chen Hao corrected him.

Soon, the three of them each selected their own weapon from the office.

Zhao Long chose a baseball bat, Liu Yun took an iron pipe, and Li Laoshi took a 1.5-meter steel ruler.

And so, under the watchful eyes of the others, the four of them pushed open the glass door and left the office.

Outside is a corridor, with two companies on either side. On the right is Chen Hao's e-commerce company, and on the left is GG Company.

The actions of Chen Hao and his three companions immediately aroused the curiosity of the people from GG Company across the street.

"Friends, what's going on here?"

"That's what the person from the company across the street asked."

"Go downstairs."

Chen Hao replied with three words and then led his men toward the stairs.

A group of people were left behind who were quite surprised.

"How dare they?"

Someone said, puzzled.

"Brother Wang, shall we go down and take a look too?"

Then, people looked towards their office, at the only person who had ever killed the [Red-capped Forest Stork] and obtained its card.

Feeling a little flustered under everyone's gaze.

He only managed to kill the red-crowned stork by sheer luck; if he were to actually fight a wild beast face-to-face, he would be terrified.

So he quickly waved his hand: "No, don't go yet."

His mind raced, and soon his eyes lit up as he came up with a good reason: "Let's send them ahead to scout the way. If it's not dangerous, then we'll go."

"That's right, that makes sense."

"Brother Wang is right."

Upon hearing this, everyone voiced their support.

While they were talking, Chen Hao and his three companions were already walking down the corridor.

The building naturally has an elevator, but now that there is no power supply, the elevator is useless, and we can only take the stairs.

Chen Hao's company is on the eighteenth floor, and it takes quite a while just to get downstairs.

Seven or eight minutes later, the four of them successfully arrived at the lobby on the first floor.

As soon as he stepped out of the stairwell, Chen Hao's eyes narrowed and he stopped in his tracks.

"What's wrong?"

Liu Yun, who was walking behind Chen Hao, saw him stop and couldn't help but ask.

Something's up.

Chen Hao said in a deep voice.

"What's going on?"

Liu Yun's heart tightened, and she instinctively gripped the iron pipe in her hands.

Someone has been murdered.

Zhao Long answered for Chen Hao.

"What?!"

Liu Yun's face clearly showed panic, and Zhao Long was no exception, his panic was even more pronounced.

Because Liu Yun couldn't see the corpse, but he saw it directly, a bloody mess.

He glanced at it once, then turned his head away; looking at it again made him afraid he would throw up.

Li Laoshi glanced at it secretly, his face turned a little pale, and he quickly looked away.

Chen Hao didn't react much; he even moved closer to the corpse to examine it carefully.

Having personally slaughtered over a dozen pigs and witnessed hundreds of pig, cattle, and sheep slaughters, he has a strong capacity to accept such scenes.

It was a woman's corpse. Chen Hao recognized the face; she was a receptionist in the lobby, quite pretty, but sadly, she had died.

She had several deep claw marks on her body, one of which hit her neck, causing her to bleed to death.

Therefore, there was a pool of blood around the body.

She was clearly killed by a wild animal, but what puzzled Chen Hao was that there were no signs of being eaten on her body.

Chen Hao guessed that there was probably only one wild animal, and that there were other people present.

After killing one person, the wild beast went to chase another, so it didn't have time to eat.

"Ah!" Just then, a scream rang out, echoing through the empty hall, seemingly confirming Chen Hao's guess.

"What should we do?"

Zhao Long looked at Chen Hao.

"Let's go take a look."

Without hesitation, Chen Hao grabbed his long sword and ran toward the source of the sound.

With Chen Hao no longer blocking her way, Liu Yun saw the corpse, her face turned deathly pale, and her legs went weak.

"Don't look."

Zhao Long stood in front of her, pulling her along with one hand, and followed closely behind Chen Hao.

Soon, the four arrived at their destination, a small storage room.

The door to the storage room was tightly shut, and a woman's scream came from inside. Outside, there was a gray-furred wolf.

This wolf was at least a size larger than those on Earth.

At this moment, the wolf had already torn open the wooden door of the storage room with one of its front paws and reached inside.

Hearing footsteps behind him, the gray wolf turned around and saw four creatures approaching, causing its fur to stand on end.

It quickly tried to retract its claws and run away.

Wolves are social animals, but this one acted alone, which means it was clearly driven out of the pack.

This type of wolf is the most cautious.

However, when people are in a hurry, they are prone to making mistakes, just like wild animals.

Its claws were stuck in the door.

"A good opportunity."

Chen Hao's eyes lit up.

He quickly took two running steps, rapidly approaching the gray wolf, and simultaneously raised his long sword and slashed down fiercely.

"Die!"

Chen Hao gripped the knife handle tightly, clenching his teeth, using almost all his strength.

The long sword sliced ​​through the air and struck the gray wolf hard on the neck.

"Awooo!" With a mournful cry, half of the wolf's head was almost cut off by Chen Hao.

Wolf blood sprayed out, splattering onto Chen Hao's clothes.

Chen Hao felt nothing, pulled out his long sword, and slashed at the wound again.

This time, the wolf's head was chopped off.

Chen Hao was panting heavily, but a smile appeared on his face.

[Congratulations! You have successfully killed a one-star common creature—the Forest Gray Wolf—and obtained two one-star cards.]
