Early the next morning, Ke Bei packed his things and took Li Qianqian to Mingye Community in Beicheng.
Although there weren't many things, it took the two of them most of the day to settle down. That night, Ke Bei was called by Gu Kun and had a big meal with all the members of the Ningxing Team at the Wanhua Building. They agreed to go to the Wilderness Area three days later.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed. Ke Bei put on a grayish-white ice silk battle suit, put on a tungsten iron armor over it, slung a broadsword diagonally on his back, and hid three throwing knives at his waist.
The throwing knives were for self-defense. Although the matter of Ke Bei killing the young man in white had come to an end, he didn't dare to be the slightest bit careless. He used throwing knives to kill the young man in white, and also to kill Gu Feng and Zheng Yuan.
If people found out that he was skilled in throwing knives, and if any clues were traced back, it would be difficult to deal with the consequences. It's better to be safe than sorry. He would never use his throwing knife skills easily unless it was a matter of life and death.
His strength wasn't strong enough yet, and currently, he couldn't contend with the Blood Sword Alliance behind the young man in white. It was better to be cautious. When Ke Bei had dinner with Gu Kun and the others that day, when everyone was about seven or eight parts drunk, Ke Bei accidentally heard about something that had caused a great stir in Lingfeng City some time ago. With a little association, he knew the identity of the young man in white he had killed, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
The young man in white was the only son of Pei Jian, the leader of the Blood Sword Alliance, one of the three major forces in Lingfeng City.
This identity was really terrifying. Although the Blood Sword Alliance hadn't shown any signs yet, it was still better to be careful.
"Ke Bei!"
The voice of Captain Gu Kun came from downstairs.
"Coming!" Ke Bei responded and immediately ran downstairs. Just as he was about to open the door, Li Qianqian walked out of the room and looked at Ke Bei silently.
"Be careful," Li Qianqian couldn't help but say.
"Don't worry," Ke Bei grinned, turned around, opened the door, and ran downstairs.
"You look quite energetic," Gu Kun said with a tease as he looked at Ke Bei in his grayish-white battle suit and his sturdy short hair.
"Hehe, Captain, where are the others?"
Ke Bei scratched his head shyly and looked around but didn't see the other figures.
"They are waiting for us at the city gate. Let's go quickly. Don't keep them waiting," Gu Kun said.
"Okay."
Ke Bei nodded and followed behind Gu Kun. The two of them quickly walked towards the city gate.
"Captain," Zhang Wu, who was holding a huge shield, smiled and nodded at Gu Kun.
"Ke Bei, you're here. Are you nervous about going to the Wilderness Area for the first time?"
Chen Hu, who was carrying a huge package and in charge of logistics, patted Ke Bei on the shoulder.
"It's okay. I've hunted zombies before," Ke Bei took a slight breath and smiled at Chen Hu.
"Going into the Wilderness Area is different from hunting zombies around the Foundation City. Hehe, this is Ke Bei's first time going out. Don't be scared," Wang Shan, who was over 2.2 meters tall and whose arms were as thick as Ke Bei's thighs, smiled honestly and touched Ke Bei's head.
"Captain, the location of this mission is here, Wushan City," Zhao Hai, who was about 1.7 meters tall and had a lean figure, walked up to Gu Kun with a map.
"En. The zombies in Wushan City had almost been cleared out, but for some reason, a large number of zombies suddenly emerged there a few days ago. The big shots in the Foundation suspect that there is the Divine Race behind it. Our mission this time is to find out the situation and confirm whether there is really the Divine Race there," Gu Kun glanced at everyone and briefly explained the mission.
"Let's go. Wushan City isn't too far from here. We can get there in about three days," Sun Ze, who had been leaning against the city wall with his eyes closed and meditating, suddenly opened his eyes and stabbed his long spear, which was about 2.5 meters long, hard on the ground.
"Okay, let's go!"
Gu Kun gave a low shout and took the lead in walking out.
Zhang Wu, Sun Ze, and Zhao Hai followed closely behind, while Wang Shan, Chen Hu, and Ke Bei walked at the back.
"Following this highway will be a shorter distance," Zhao Hai said as he looked at the map.
"Let's go."
The sun had just risen above the sea, casting a soft light on this dilapidated highway. The seven members of the Ningxing Team kept walking along this highway.
"Roar~~"
"Ow~"
From the withered grass on both sides of the highway came the roars of zombies. Among the seven members of the Ningxing Team, except for Ke Bei, the weakest one, Chen Hu, was a Second Level Peak Warrior. Zhang Wu was at the Third Level Early Stage, and both Sun Ze and Wang Shan were at the Third Level Middle Stage. Among them, the strongest one except the captain was the thin Zhao Hai, who was at the Third Level High Stage.
Since they hadn't entered the real Wilderness Area yet and the Ningxing Team was so powerful, everyone was very relaxed.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a zombie covered in green fur jumped out of the grass.
"Ke Bei, this green-furred zombie is yours. Since we haven't entered the Wilderness Area yet, take this opportunity to hone your skills well," Captain Gu Kun said casually as he looked at the ferocious green-furred zombie.
"Ke Bei, don't be careless. The physical quality of a green-furred zombie is no worse than that of a Second Level Warrior," Zhao Hai reminded seriously.
Ke Bei smiled. He knew that the brothers in the Ningxing Team really cared about him.
"Hehe, Brother Hai, I'm not a weakling. It's just a green-furred zombie. It's no challenge for me."
With a "shua" sound, Ke Bei pulled out his broadsword and quickly approached the green-furred zombie.
"Captain, Ke Bei is still a newbie. Even though his physical quality is good, isn't it a bit harsh to let him deal with a green-furred zombie?"
Wang Shan said worriedly.
"Yeah, Captain. If we want to hone his skills, we should do it step by step. A green-furred zombie is much stronger than a red-furred zombie. I'm afraid he won't be able to handle it when facing a green-furred zombie for the first time," Zhao Hai frowned and said.
"Who said this is his first time facing a green-furred zombie? Hehe, just watch. This kid will surprise you," Captain Gu Kun smiled and turned his gaze to Ke Bei.
"Can Ke Bei really do it?"
Except for Captain Gu Kun, all the six old members of the Ningxing Team looked at Ke Bei with doubtful and worried eyes. Wang Shan even held his iron rod in front of his chest, ready to take action at any moment.
Ke Bei gripped his broadsword tightly. Dealing with a green-furred zombie was really nothing for him. However, he must end this battle cleanly.
He wanted to prove to the members of the Ningxing Team that he wouldn't be a burden.
He squatted down halfway, his calf muscles tensed up instantly. He stomped his foot hard, and a huge force traveled along his spine to his arm.
"Thunder Slash!"
He let out a low growl from his throat, and his muscles all over his body vibrated like waves. All his explosive power concentrated at one point in an instant. He jumped high into the air, and the broadsword in his hand slashed hard at the green-furred zombie.
Ke Bei landed from the air, turned around gracefully, and smiled at Gu Kun and the others. When he took the first step, there was a loud bang behind him. The body of the green-furred zombie split into two halves and fell to the left and right.
The old members of the Ningxing Team all opened their eyes wide, looking incredibly surprised.
"Is this still a newbie? He's too fierce. Even though I'm a Second Level Peak Warrior, it's not difficult for me to kill a green-furred zombie, but it's impossible for me to split a green-furred zombie in half with one clean cut like Ke Bei did," Chen Hu swallowed hard.
"What a powerful force," Zhao Hai's face showed a look of shock.
Although Gu Kun knew that Ke Bei was strong, he was still shocked. Ke Bei's strength was almost reaching the Third Level, which greatly exceeded his expectations.
And what shocked Gu Kun was far more than that.
The power that suddenly burst out the moment Ke Bei slashed was really terrifying.
Even with his strength as a Third Level Peak Reinforcement, it wouldn't be an easy thing to split a green-furred zombie, whose skin was a bit harder than steel, in half with one slash.
But Ke Bei did it.
"What a terrifying explosive power. That slash just now should be a very advanced way of using force. There are a lot of secrets hidden in this kid, Ke Bei," Gu Kun stroked his chin and a smile appeared on his lips.
The stronger the members, the stronger the whole team. As the captain, Gu Kun was naturally happier.
