34: Chapter 34 Mutant Wild Boar

"Junior Brother Su, are you married?"

In the car, Wang Hao started a conversation while driving.

Su Fan immediately realized that this guy wanted to steer the topic toward the two beauties in the back, just using him as a stepping stone.

He chuckled inwardly, but said indifferently, "I am."

Wang Hao didn't press the issue, instead feigning profundity: "Once a man is married, he loses his freedom. In this new era, we should remain single, because you never know whether happiness or an accident will arrive first..."

As he spoke,

sure enough, he glanced sideways at the two beauties in the back seat and asked Chen Qian first: "Junior Sister Chen Qian, are you married?"

"I..."

Chen Qian was about to answer when Qin Xiaoxiao, wearing sunglasses, slowly turned her face. Realizing something, she glared at Wang Hao:

"Drive your car properly! Why are you asking such nosy questions!?"

Wang Hao shut his mouth obediently.

...

While Su Fan was lost in thought, Qin Xiaoxiao in the back seat suddenly asked: "Su Fan, are you really married?"

Thinking of the file in his folder that listed him as single, Su Fan quickly explained: "I am single and unmarried, but I am married. My wife, she... is not from this world."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoxiao, Chen Qian, and Wang Hao were all stunned.

What did he mean by "not from this world"?

And what did he mean by "single and unmarried, but married"?

Su Fan's two sentences left the three of them completely confused.

Qin Xiaoxiao thought to herself, *This guy looks perfectly normal, why is he suddenly talking nonsense? Could it be that he had a painful relationship in the past?*

*Sigh, this guy looks honest; he must have been cheated on by his ex-girlfriend...*

Thinking of this,

Qin Xiaoxiao took off her sunglasses, and the gaze she directed toward Su Fan carried a hint of sympathy...

The car fell into a brief silence.

Su Fan subconsciously touched his backpack. Inside was a glasses case, and within that case lay a strand of spirit rhinoceros golden thread that he cherished as much as his own life.

"Yao..."

Closing his eyes gently, scenes of the time he spent with Ji Yao flashed through his mind like a movie, feeling as if they were right within reach, yet so untouchable...

"Section Chief Qin! There is a situation ahead!!"

The voice of the general foreman came over the walkie-talkie.

"Received!"

Qin Xiaoxiao replied immediately.

Then she shouted: "Stop the car, there is a situation ahead!"

Upon receiving the order, Wang Hao immediately slammed on the brakes, killed the engine, and then impatiently got out of the car.

"Section Chief Qin, I'll go, no need to trouble yourself!"

After saying that, he hurried to the front of the armored combat vehicle.

Qin Xiaoxiao said to Su Fan: "Su Fan, you should go take a look as well."

Su Fan naturally understood her little thoughts; she was leading the team this time and definitely wanted the 13th Security Section to earn more honor, not wanting the 9th Security Section to steal the spotlight in everything.

Upon hearing her words, Su Fan got out of the car without a word and arrived at the front of the convoy.

Gazing at the surrounding environment, he saw the scene outside the Safe Zone for the first time.

The weeds on both sides of the national highway were growing wildly, no longer a fresh green but a dull, dark green. Each plant was as tall as an adult reed, with sharp serrations on the edges of the leaves that would draw blood with the slightest touch...

Not far away, what used to be a lush forest had turned into a primitive jungle—mysterious and deep. In just three short years, every tree had grown more than tenfold, becoming towering giants.

The once clear, rippling streams had now turned into mysterious rivers flowing with dark green water. They were deeper than before, like the streams of the Amazon, with huge bubbles rising to the surface, as if some giant monster were hiding in the water...

At the slightest rustle in the woods, a large flock of birds the size of adult eagles would fly about. In reality, they were just Mutated Sparrows, the lowest combat-strength species among mutated beasts.

After scanning the surrounding environment, Su Fan stood with Wang Hao at the very front of the convoy.

At this moment, the white-hatted general foreman put down his binoculars, pointed ahead, and said: "Look... there is a pack of Mutated Wild Boars ahead!!"

"Mutated Wild Boars?"

Wang Hao looked ahead for a while but didn't seem to see anything because of the light fog, so he had to take the binoculars from the white-hatted general foreman to look.

As for Su Fan, he was in the Golden Core Realm. By circulating his spiritual power and merging his Divine Sense with his eyes, his field of vision was a hundred times broader than that of an ordinary person. Let alone a pack of wild boars a kilometer away, he could see even a needle clearly.

There was indeed a pack of Mutated Wild Boars ahead...

This was a pack of Mutated Wild Boars, each as large as an adult elephant, occupying the national highway and refusing to leave. Their tusks, as large as elephant tusks, protruded from the corners of their mouths, and their coarse black fur stood straight up like a hedgehog's, resembling steel needles.

Behind the adult Mutated Wild Boars followed some smaller ones, though they were still as big as elephant calves.

Their eyes were filled with bloodthirsty rage; their red eyes made one shudder at the sight.

"Mutated Wild Boars are a low-tier combat species among mutated beasts, equivalent to a Cultivator at Qi Refining Layer 1. Their main combat skills are ramming and tusk stabbing. When dealing with Mutated Wild Boars, remember not to engage head-on. Make use of nearby high ground, such as large trees, and then use a Sharp Weapon to pierce their weak spots..."

Wang Hao opened his training manual and read a paragraph.

Then, he looked at Su Fan: "Junior Brother Su, I am at Qi Refining Stage 3, I can handle three of them, and you can handle one. Let's use guns to lure four wild boars over first..."

Upon hearing Wang Hao's words, Su Fan said: "Better not fire. The skin of these Mutated Wild Boars is harder than steel plate; bullets can't penetrate them at all. If you fire, they will all come charging over!"

Wang Hao didn't listen at all, dismissing it: "Attach silencers, use 8x scopes to shoot them in the head, lure them four by four. We'll kill four first, then handle the rest..."

After saying that, ignoring Su Fan's objection, he called over the special forces soldiers and ordered four of them to fire at the wild boars...

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Following four muffled sounds...

...

"Ah?!"

"Why are all the Mutated Wild Boars coming over?!"

"Junior Brother Su!! There are so many... what do we do!?"

Wang Hao didn't expect the entire pack of Mutated Wild Boars to charge over, and he was trembling with fear.

The special forces soldiers looked toward the armored vehicle; after all, with the Physical Body of a Mortal, it was impossible to deal with those Mutated Wild Boars.

However, if this pack of Mutated Wild Boars really charged over, the armored vehicle would be overturned just the same...

They shifted their gaze to the two Cultivators beside them; after all, one at Qi Refining Stage 3 and one at Qi Refining Layer 1 were already experts in their eyes.

Whether they could withstand this pack of Mutated Wild Boars depended on these two experts...

Seeing the Mutated Wild Boars charging aggressively and knowing he couldn't handle so many, Wang Hao hurriedly said: "Junior Brother Su, you block them first, I'll go call Section Chief Qin!"

Qin Xiaoxiao was at Qi Refining Layer 7. Although they were both in the Qi Refining Realm, every layer up was like crossing a chasm, and their strengths could not be spoken of in the same breath...

Therefore, for someone at Qi Refining Layer 7, dealing with this pack of Mutated Wild Boars would naturally be a piece of cake.

Just as Wang Hao was about to go call Qin Xiaoxiao, he saw Su Fan walking toward the large pack of Mutated Wild Boars, facing them without a trace of fear...
