No one could answer Shang Jianyao's question, because not many people who had seen the white giant wolf had returned alive, and no one had ever heard its roar up close.

After deciding on the night watch order, Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, and Genaeva each entered a car, either lying down, sitting, brewing sleepiness, or switching to power-saving mode.

Long Yuehong and Bai Chen stayed beside a car, patrolling back and forth, while keeping an eye on each other's backs.

Not far from them, a dilapidated, colorfully patterned small car was rocking and swaying, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, before finally calming down after a while.

One of the biggest advantages of this forward camp was that it had streetlights, searchlights, and a relatively sufficient power supply, after all, the "First City" regular army stationed here had to guard against attacks from the "Heartless" and mutated creatures. Therefore, they had prepared multiple fuel-powered generators.

This also meant that the camp's night was not completely dark. The areas with streetlights were relatively bright, while the edges were shrouded in shadows, which often caused Long Yuehong to see things he shouldn't.

He felt embarrassed about this, but he couldn't help but take a few curious glances.

Suddenly, the rear car door opened, and a young man with a bare upper body got out.

He wore loose gray trousers, and while fastening his belt, he smiled at Long Yuehong, who happened to be looking over:

"Didn't expect there to be kind people helping us keep watch."

Long Yuehong, realizing that the other party was joking, responded politely:

"We just got back."

He noticed that the man was relatively young, probably about his age, about 1.7 meters tall, with brown hair and green eyes, and a lot of freckles on his face.

As a result, Long Yuehong straightened his back even more.

While the two were talking, the door on the other side of the vehicle was pushed open, and a relatively tall woman emerged.

The woman held one hand across her chest, covering her exposed skin, and used the other to grab the trunk, making it easier for her to look at Long Yuehong.

Her skin was relatively rough, and her appearance was quite ordinary, but she had the advantage of being young and having a very special hair color - reddish.

At this time, she showed no sign of shyness, and said to the man in a generous manner:

"Good performance, I hope there's a next time, but don't let me provide the condoms again."

This topic is so explosive... Long Yuehong was speechless and could only watch.

The man chuckled:

"Actually, I was prepared, but since you were so proactive, there was no need to waste time."

The woman ignored him and glanced at Long Yuehong:

"Ashlander?

"Your skin looks even better than mine, hehe, I haven't experienced an Ashlander yet. I'm too tired today, how about a date around this time tomorrow?"

She was too direct, and Long Yuehong didn't know how to respond.

Fortunately, Bai Chen helped him out in time, saying coldly:

"He doesn't need it."

"Oh... your girlfriend? Not bad." The woman smiled indifferently, "But don't you want to experience more? Maybe we'll die tomorrow or the day after, if we don't enjoy it now, there won't be a chance. Different races, people from different regions, even two people who look almost the same, will give you completely different feelings..."

She didn't continue, because Bai Chen had already raised the "Orange" rifle and aimed it at them.

"Okay." The woman made a surrender gesture with one hand, retreated into the car, put on her clothes, took her weapon, and walked to another part of the camp.

When Bai Chen patrolled to the other side, the young man, still shirtless, sat on the edge of the vehicle, holding the open door with one hand and stroking his chin with the other, lowering his voice:

"Your girlfriend is very cool."

"So so..." Long Yuehong replied perfunctorily.

The young man smiled and said:

"Actually, Afra is right, we relic hunters can't expect tomorrow. While we're still alive, let's enjoy and experience as much as possible, so we don't have regrets when we die."

Seeing Bai Chen walking back this way, his expression became serious:

"What's your name?

"I'm Bob."

Long Yuehong maintained a polite attitude:

"Gu Zhiyong."

"Your Ashlander names are so complicated, can I just call you Gu?" Bob, with a face full of freckles, smiled, "You guys just arrived too, for that white giant wolf?"

"Yes." Long Yuehong answered concisely.

"Good luck to you, and good luck to us." Bob was very talkative, "We're here for that white giant wolf too, the reward it comes with is just too generous."

As he said that, he revealed a look of longing:

"As long as we can complete this mission, none of us will need to be relic hunters anymore. We can get some farmland in the First City, settle down, and not have to worry about hunger and cold anymore.

"At that time, my parents won't have to work so hard anymore, and my younger brother and sister can have a different life."

Hearing that Bob's parents were alive and he also had a younger brother and sister, Long Yuehong felt a sense of closeness and couldn't help but remind him:

"This mission is very dangerous."

"I know. We bought some information from the guild, and from many relic hunters here. After comparing and verifying, we have a mature plan. Hehe, I can't say the specifics. You must also know the core point, which is to keep your distance and win with guns, and my marksmanship is not bad." Bob said with a hint of pride.

Without waiting for Long Yuehong to respond, he said to himself again:

"Actually, when I complete this mission and have a lot of farmland, I will still be a relic hunter, but I won't go on missions. I'll just take time out every year to come to similar camps and use my body to comfort those distressed ladies..."

Long Yuehong was dumbfounded:

"You, you don't plan to get married?"

"Why get married? Isn't it better to experience more? So many ladies, different flavors..." Bob said frankly, "Besides, I don't want my child to be born in this era, it's too painful. If I do well in the future, maybe I'll consider it."

Long Yuehong held back for a long time, and finally blurted out:

"You can go to prostitutes, why do you have to continue being a relic hunter?"

Bob chuckled:

"That costs money.

"Well, that's not really the point, the point is that I like the other person to enjoy it too, understand? Here, every hug isn't for money. She's pleasing me, and I'm pleasing her. We can both get satisfaction, relaxation, and comfort from each other, which makes me feel needed."

With theory after theory, Long Yuehong couldn't argue at all.

Before long, Bob's companions returned from elsewhere, two men and one woman, all with satisfied expressions.

However, it was clear that one of the men and one of the women were a couple.

While they were taking turns resting, Bai Chen whispered to Long Yuehong during a patrol route crossing:

"This is the state of most relic hunters.

"Only a few aren't like this."

Long Yuehong subconsciously wanted to ask if you used to be like this, but he quickly remembered that Bai Chen used to be a semi-lone wolf, depending on a robot for survival, and only occasionally teaming up with people.

"This is the Ashlands." He responded to Bai Chen's words.

Both oppressive and indulgent.

Bai Chen glanced at Bob's vehicle and added:

"Although what he said is romantic, most female relic hunters want to get paid or receive supplies, unless you are willing to spend time, through common experiences and your own appearance and eloquence, to cultivate some feelings. So, in reality, many, many male relic hunters are distressed. When they have a little money and a little supplies, they are often located in settlements with hunter guilds, and it's easier to find prostitutes, like Wildgrass City.

"And female relic hunters, the premise of choosing indulgence is often having safe measures, but some don't care so much.

"Many of them actually prefer to develop a fixed relationship with a male in the same team, which can both get stable support, a reliable protector behind them, and not worry too much about safety issues."

"Ah?" Long Yuehong was stunned.

Bai Chen turned around and patrolled to the other side of the vehicle, leaving behind two sentences:

"Everything is for survival.

"Isn't it good to enjoy yourself while getting some money, getting some supplies, and getting a supporter?"

…………

After comparing multiple pieces of information, the "Old Task Force" roughly grasped the white giant wolf's activity pattern and chose an "ambush" point.

Speaking of "ambush," they were actually using themselves as bait to lure the cunning prey.

When the white giant wolf quietly approached them after taking a detour, it would find that not only were they not charmed, but they also had a robot with them.

At the same time, for convenience and safety, Jiang Baimian added a condition when choosing a location:

The vehicle could arrive.

Leaving the forward camp and turning onto a mountain road, the "Old Task Force" encountered Bob's fancy car.

Bob enthusiastically rolled down the window and waved to them:

"Good luck! Be sure to have good luck!"

"Good luck to you too!" Shang Jianyao, as if meeting an old friend, waved in response before Long Yuehong could.

The two sides drove one after the other for a while, and then parted ways at a certain intersection.

It was clear that the two sides' action plans and preset locations had significant differences.

"I hope we can deal with that white giant wolf as soon as possible, so that similar guys won't come to their deaths." Jiang Baimian looked ahead and said while driving.

Obviously, she was thinking of Weite, whose companions had all been wiped out.

"I will try my best to persuade it to let us catch it obediently." Shang Jianyao said seriously.

"You understand wolf language?" Jiang Baimian asked with amusement.

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly recalled Shang Jianyao's response with "Awoo" in the Blackmarsh Wilderness.

Fortunately, Shang Jianyao didn't do that this time, and said thoughtfully:

"I've developed a set of gestures, I don't know if it can understand them."

"..." Jiang Baimian exhaled slowly.

The mountain road was difficult to travel, and it took the "Old Task Force" almost three hours to finally enter the planned ambush point.

They hid the vehicle, took their places, hid themselves, and waited for the white giant wolf, which was said to pass by here at noon to drink water in a clean stream.
