38: Chapter 38 The Real Situation of the Wild Boar Herd and the Growth of the Team Members.

Seeing this, Zhao Huaqiang knew there was something to be discussed privately, so he responded promptly.

"Captain, please feel free to give any orders you may have."

Captain Zhou Mingyu nodded in satisfaction.

"Old Zhao, send all your employees over to act alongside those who are carrying the Compound Bows. You must keep a close eye on them."

"You must give them specific instructions. If any of your employees find a meteorite, they must secure it immediately. Do not let Ye Xingchen's people get their hands on it."

Zhao Huaqiang didn't quite understand what he meant by this.

In the previous few times, wasn't it the case that whoever saw it would collect it and keep it for you, the Captain, to safeguard?

If you don't trust them, just don't let them do the collecting.

Captain Zhou Mingyu himself didn't know if he could collect a job-change stone this time.

Of course, he had to send everyone out to maximize the search range and efficiency.

However, he was also afraid that those people might hide the job-change stone for themselves, or use it to change jobs directly; if that happened, he would have nowhere to turn.

Although he had repeatedly emphasized that these meteorites were radioactive and must not be touched with bare skin, and that it was only safe if handed to him for safekeeping.

Now, he wanted to prevent such things from happening and ensure his subordinates were the first to bring any meteorites or job-change stones to him.

On the fourth day of entering the mountains, after the Changnan Interstellar Exploration Team and the Chen Martial Arts Hall Exploration Team agreed on an ambush location.

Incarnation and his team followed the coordinates provided by Captain Chen Sen and headed towards the boar pack's lair.

The Chen Martial Arts Hall Exploration Team climbed up the large trees at the ambush site, preparing to ambush the boar pack that Incarnation would lure over.

Meanwhile, in the distance, Captain Zhou Mingyu used a high-powered telescope he had specially acquired from abroad to observe the situation at the ambush point.

Incarnation led his team towards the target location, recalling the information Captain Chen Sen had just shared with him.

"Captain Wang, you must go and lure the boar pack, and be sure to lead them towards us. Let me tell you, there are boar packs active everywhere at the foot of these two mountains and in the valley between them."

"If you head in the wrong direction and end up elsewhere, once the boars discover you, they will continuously summon their companions to attack."

"It was only after learning this that we were forced to choose to drive them away or kill them. Otherwise, we would have gone over there long ago."

"So, you must run towards us at the fastest speed possible. Once we eliminate the main force, we can finish off the rest of the boar pack in a few more attempts."

Thinking about this, Incarnation didn't feel it was particularly tricky.

With his current three-dimensional attributes, it could be said without exaggeration that even if he ran around at full power, this pack of boars would absolutely not be able to keep up with him.

What he was truly worried about were the other three team members.

Because even if he lured the boars from a certain direction, there would always be some that slipped through the net.

At such times, letting them face one or two boars would also be very dangerous.

Although it was unlikely to be life-threatening—after all, if things became impossible, they could climb a tree to avoid the danger—there was still some risk involved in such a situation.

Along the way, Incarnation explained the potential emergencies of this mission to his team members.

"I have already clearly explained the handling methods and the risks. Whether or not you want to carry this out is up to you. If you feel it's dangerous, you can also wait for me in the back, and we can..."

Before Incarnation could finish, Mo Yuemei was the first to speak up.

"Captain, there's no need to say anything else. Even if there is danger, I still want to go. If there's no danger, what kind of training effect is there? Not to mention convincing my parents."

Chen Yanshan and Liu Tingquan were also firm in their resolve, showing not the slightest hint of fear.

"That's right, Captain, we need to be of some use. We can't rely on you for everything; you've already helped us solve the biggest difficulties."

"Captain, we have to face it sooner or later. Plus, I want to reach the company's standard for official team members early and get a higher salary."

Incarnation took in everyone's expressions; instead of fearing or shrinking back due to the danger, they all appeared eager to try.

He felt a bit of relief, knowing that everyone had grown.

Perhaps it was the effect of Incarnation leading by example.

In their previous few missions, whenever they encountered danger, Incarnation had always considered every aspect and taken on the most dangerous and difficult tasks.

Even when they were exhausted, it was he who turned the tide and saved everyone.

When Chen Yanshan and Liu Tingquan first joined the missions, they always appeared terrified when encountering danger.

Although Mo Yuemei had been very eager to participate in every mission before, at that time, it was just an impulsive interest, not like now, where she had started to consider the various implications of a decision.

Incarnation had already estimated that if they made a good plan, it would be completely fine for them to climb a tree immediately upon encountering boars and use the terrain advantage to kill them.

The most feared type was the kind who would get so scared upon encountering danger that their legs would turn to jelly and they wouldn't be able to move. That kind was the most troublesome, as they would not only implicate themselves but also their teammates.

Therefore, Incarnation only felt at ease letting them execute tasks alone after his teammates had experienced several life-and-death dangers and were no longer afraid or hesitant.

The lair of this boar pack was located in the depression at the entrance of this valley.

Along the way, Incarnation had already killed three or four boars.

Now, with the lethality and range of his 120lb Compound Bow, within a 50m range, basically, adult boars were killed in one shot.

Within an 80m range, it was just a matter of one or two extra arrows.

They had been in this area of boar activity for so long without being discovered by other boars, but with the increasingly dense boar activity, they could no longer remain hidden.

Seeing this, Incarnation realized that this boar pack was not simple. Its level of intelligence was no lower than that of the Boar King they had encountered before.

However, the boar pack here was much larger than the last one.

According to the preliminary exploration and density estimates by the Chen Martial Arts Hall, there were at least fifty or sixty boars in this entire area.

And in the core area near the lair, there were at least twenty or thirty boars active, or one could say, keeping watch.

"You guys, first find a concealed place and wait in the trees."

"Wait until I lure all the boars in this area out, then you can explore towards the north."

Everyone nodded. Immediately, they climbed into the trees in the grass where the boars didn't often go.

This time, Wang An hung his equipment on the tree, only holding his Compound Bow, which could be considered traveling light.

Actually, there was no need to lure anything; after Incarnation walked forward a certain distance and saw two or three boars active in this area, he knew he would definitely be exposed.
