C4 Hunting
White and Morgan finished their dinner and walked in the other direction of the town with a hot pot of bacon congee. The rain did not stop, and the late autumn of the night made people feel even colder. The entire town was wet.
The two of them arrived at a small courtyard one after the other. White pushed open the short wooden door and walked in. Then, a bulldog shaped like a calf began to roar fiercely at White and Morgan. If it wasn't for a chain pulling its neck, it would definitely pounce on them and tear them apart.
At this moment, a woman's voice came from the house: "Peter, stop barking! Who is coming?"
White said awkwardly, "It's me!"
The rusty door creaked open and Morgan saw a beautiful woman in her forties, who was White's ex-wife, Lisa.
Lisa looked at White unhappily, "What are you doing here so late at night?"
"I want to take a look at Alice and then I brought her delicious bacon porridge!"
"Alice is not feeling well. She definitely does not want to see you!"
"What? Is her condition worsening?"
"Yes!"
"Then I want to see her even more!"
"No, he's at home!" Lisa looked troubled.
White instantly lost his momentum, like a defeated warrior, decadently handed the jar of bacon porridge to Lisa. "Tell Alice that I love her! If there's nothing else... then I'll be leaving!"
After White finished speaking, he turned around silently. Morgan glanced at Lisa and then followed White out of Lisa's courtyard.
Lisa looked at the back of Old White and the child and returned to her home with a complicated expression.
"Is she your lover?"
"It's from the past!" White answered sadly.
"She's so beautiful!"
"Hehe, when she's young, she was even more beautiful. She's the most beautiful woman in this town!"
"But why did you two separate?"
"Sigh, who isn't young and who hasn't made mistakes! Let's not talk about this anymore!"
"Your daughter is called Alice?"
"Yes!"
"How old is she?"
"She's fourteen years old!"
"How much younger than me?"
"Moreover, she's a little shorter than you!"
"Oh, is she beautiful?"
"She's beautiful!"
"What's wrong with her? Didn't she go to the doctor?"
"The doctors in the town can't cure her illness. She needs to go to a big city, which costs a lot of money. Also, we don't have a car, so we can't go to a big city at all!" Wang Yao said.
The teenager clenched his fist and said solemnly: "We can definitely go!" At this moment, Morgan thought that this girl whom he had not yet met was already his family.
White covered Morgan's head with his big hand and rubbed Morgan's black hair. "En, we will definitely be able to go!"
"Uncle, do you want to see your own daughter now?" Morgan smiled brightly.
"Yes! Of course I do. How could I not want to?"
Morgan stopped and a wicked smile appeared on his handsome face. "Then, follow me!"
White inexplicably followed behind Morgan, walking towards Lisa's house.
Morgan cleverly came to the back of Lisa's house, "Which room does Alice live in?"
"The room upstairs by the window!" Old White seemed to know Morgan's intention, and at this moment, he felt a little excited.
Morgan sped up in front of White and suddenly jumped up.
White couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Morgan jump off such a high height. He saw Morgan grab the eaves of the first floor and push his body up a little. He then reached out his hand and reached the windowsill on the second floor. Morgan put both of his hands on the windowsill. With a little more strength, Morgan climbed onto the windowsill.
Morgan pulled the window to the left. The window was not locked. Then, Morgan opened the window and jumped into the room!
"Who is it?" A girl's voice sounded. She was lying on the bed, obviously ready to sleep.
Morgan said softly, "Uncle White is waiting for you downstairs. He wants to see you, but your mother won't let him see you, so I can only come up with this bad idea. Can you walk to the window now and let Uncle White see you?"
Alice lifted the blanket and anxiously got out of the bed. Then, she walked to the windowsill with practiced movements.
Morgan's eyes changed a little again. His pupils slowly doubled, and he saw Alice's appearance clearly. Alice looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old. Her long golden hair was as long as Old White's, and it was soft and curly. Alice looked very thin, even much thinner than Morgan, but her height was not much different from Morgan's. Her pure face was brimming with happiness and joy, and that smile instantly opened Morgan's tightly shut heart. Alice's smile was probably something that Morgan would never forget in his life!
Alice leaned against the window sill and looked down with a smile. Then she asked Morgan softly, "Where is my father?"
Morgan walked in front of Alice, picked up Alice's finger, and pointed in a direction, "Over there!"
Alice then waved her hand in that direction and shouted softly, "Dad!" Alice then said to Morgan, "Please don't let my mother hear you, or else she will scold me again!"
Old White saw Morgan bring Alice to the window sill, and tears began to slowly flow out of his eyes. He also softly shouted, "Alice, Daddy loves you!"
Alice said to Morgan in a soft voice, "Big brother, who are you? Have I "seen" you before?"
Morgan smiled: "No, my name is Morgan. I am your father's new disciple. In the future, we will be family. I will often bring Uncle White to see you!"
"Haha, then I thank you."
"En, it's getting late. Go back to bed and sleep. Don't catch a cold. You have a cold!"
"Yes, thank you, Morgan. "
After Morgan led Alice to the bedside, he flipped out the window, closed it properly, and jumped down.
Old White said to Morgan gratefully, "Morgan, thank you so much!"
"Hehe, don't be polite with me. Let's go back to sleep. I feel sleepy!"
Old White wiped the tears from his eyes and walked home with Morgan. Old White was very happy because he had not seen Alice in a long time. He did not expect that with Morgan's help today, he would actually be able to see Alice. He was really happy.
Even under this annoying rain, he was still very happy.
The next day, before the sky had even brightened, White had already packed his things and was ready to leave.
Morgan put on his clothes and followed White out to hunt.
White pondered for a moment before saying, "Morgan, you should stay at home. You are still a child!"
"No, I want to go with you. I want to help you hunt and earn money to help you treat Alice!"
"This is an adult's business!"
"I am already an adult!" Morgan said stubbornly.
White had no other choice. "We have to go a long way!"
"Uncle, I told you. I run as fast as the wind!"
White gave up on persuading Morgan to stay. He took off a dagger from his waist and handed it to Morgan, "I don't have any other guns. Take this knife!"
"Alright. "Morgan took White's dagger and held it in his hand. After holding it, he hung it on his own belt.
The two of them walked into the starlight in a flash. White, who carried a thick hunting rifle, planned to go to a farther place to take a look today, so he had to go out early. Otherwise, he would not be able to come back to the conservation area at night.
If they hurried their way in the wilderness at night, they would basically be sending themselves to death.
When they walked to the exit of the No. 64 conservation area, they saw a few soldiers dressed in camouflage uniforms standing guard in the fortification.
When they saw White, they couldn't help but yell at White, "Old White, why are you going out so early in the morning? The living dead and the demonic beasts in the wilderness are not sleeping!"
White greeted him, "There are very few prey in the wilderness. Today, I want to go to a further place to see if there is any prey left. Otherwise, I will starve!"
Morgan followed behind White and looked vigilantly at the soldiers who were on night watchs. There was a silver badge on their chest, and on the badge, there was a picture of four bracelets circling around the Earth. There was a horizontal bar below the Earth. This meant that this soldier was the lowest level Level One soldier in the Allied Army!
Once again, he explained the Star Alliance: After the purge, the government no longer existed. The Star Alliance formed by the four consortia with powerful resources ruled over this declining planet and began a new era on Earth.
These soldiers were the soldiers of the Alliance. They were responsible for guarding Protective Area No. 64. Without them, the Protective Area would have been trampled and swallowed by the magical beasts.
A few Union soldiers with rifles looked curiously at this young man.
"Old White, are you going to bring this child to his death?"
White smiled and said, "With me here, I will definitely not let him be injured!"
Morgan said very seriously, "Let's go out and hunt. Please don't curse us. Come back tonight. We will definitely bring back our prey!"
"Haha, you're still young, but you have quite the ambition. Alright, you should learn how to hunt well from Old White. When you grow up, you can join our Allied Army. Haha, haha!"
"Tsk, I don't care if I join your Allied Army. I want to be a Free Hunter like Uncle White!" After the young man finished speaking, he followed Old White out of the protective zone.
After these warriors heard Morgan's words, they were a little angry, but it was not good for them to show it in front of Old White. After a few sentences, they interrupted. The warrior on night duty pulled up the rope and opened the huge iron door of the protective area, letting White and Morgan out.
Morgan looked back at the iron door. The thick steel plate was actually covered with claw marks and bite marks, which was terrifying.
On the city wall leaning against the big iron door, there was a huge searchlight that slowly scanned the area within two kilometers of the door.
Walking out of the No.64 Protective Area, there was a vast wilderness with a radius of thirty kilometers. The reason why the Protective Area was built here was because this wilderness, with such a vast area, would make it so that there was nowhere for F-class and above magical beasts to hide.
The Alliance soldiers could also use laser telescopes to find the magical beasts on the wilderness long ago, and then use a heavy sniper rifle to snipe them. That was why the 64th protection zone was able to survive.
After White and Morgan walked out of the protected area, the two of them started running. Today, their goal was 40 kilometers away. At this distance, if the two of them kept running, it would take more than two hours!
White ran for a few thousand meters in one breath before he turned around and asked Morgan, "Do you want to rest for a while?"
Morgan smiled, "I'm not tired yet. Do you want to compete with me to see who can run faster?"
White laughed and said, "Compete!" After saying that, White sped up.
Morgan and White were side by side. The two of them were like two wild horses, galloping across the wasteland! This kind of running was nothing to White, who could throw out 1000 kilograms of strength with a single punch.
But White was surprised to find that the thin and weak Morgan had been running beside him all this time. Moreover, his breathing was even and he didn't seem tired at all. He couldn't help but be surprised in his heart. "What is the background of this brat? Could it be that he has also evolved a super power?"
White did not directly ask Morgan, but he was happy. In the future, if he had an assistant like Morgan, he would definitely be able to hunt a better prey.
