Chapter 0015 A sense of purpose

The next morning, Su Hao once again journeyed to the berserk red jackal territory. As usual, he hid his presence.

In the morning, there were a quite a few wandering berserk red jackals. But he could not find a group of seven berserk red jackals. After waiting for the whole afternoon, Su Hao who was getting more and more restless began to calm down. Like a veteran hunter, Su Hao quietly hid himself within bushes; waiting for the right moment.

After lying in wait while starving himself throughout the afternoon, he finally noticed a team of seven berserk red jackals. Without a single shred of hesitation, Su Hao began his decisive move!

Building the model and sprinkling some pheromones as the final touch, once again, the scene from two days ago was reenacted.

“Xiu!”

“Xiu!”

Numerous arrow sounds could be heard as they swiftly cut through the air. A few moments later, these seven berserk red jackals dropped dead on the ground.

Su Hao skillfully pulled out the fangs. However, he suddenly had a very bad feeling. When he looked up, pairs of fierce red eye were staring at him.

It seems that some distance away, another group of berserk red jackals was passing by. It was just unlucky that they happened to notice Su Hao.

“Damn!”

In Su Hao’s heart, he blamed his luck. Forget about the number of berserk red jackals in the group, the current materials in his hands were only sufficient to kill only one!

“Run!”

Su Hao did not hesitate at all. The scene of him being tirelessly chased was replayed.

Su Hao bolted for his life. The berserk red jackals chasing him had truly gone berserk as their name would suggest and were leaving behind a dust storm which rose quite high in the air and let the jackals blend in. Were an observer watching this scene, it would seem like a young boy was desperately running from dust and dirt and elicit a laugh. Of course, Su Hao would want to punch such a person.

In the past, these berserk red jackals would only chase for a while before giving up. This time chased him tightly, not wanting to let him go. Seeing a group of their own kind rushing together, more and more berserk red jackals joined in. Currently, the numbers had reached more than 100!

Even if Su Hao ran into another berserk beast’s territory he would still be chased. It seemed they remembered him as a serial killer of their kind.

Su Hao knew he only had one choice; forward!

He no longer tried to shake off the berserk red jackals army by taking detours. Instead, he adjusted his direction, heading directly to the city gate blindly. All these days painstakingly training which enhanced his physical fitness from 100 points to 150 points began to show its benefit.

Su Hao’s physical fitness was better than most ordinary people. Under the situation that his life was being threatened, he dashed a bit faster than the berserk red jackals behind him.

At the Jianghe’s city gate, several guards leisurely sat in front of the gate to enjoy the scenery.

Since each city had been equipped with an origin ability defense mechanism, the berserk beasts had learnt their lesson and no longer randomly attack the city. Thus, the soldiers guarding the city gates had become the most leisurely but also most important job.

As for today, the leader of the guard on duty today was Zhou Tiancai.

“Ah—-so sleepy. Captain Zhou, it is about time to change shift.” A guard said with a grumpy tone.

Zhou Tianchai stared at him ferociously. “Brat, you only know when to get off work! Wait for the next guy on shift come first. The city gate must be guarded 24 hours continuously; any mistakes are not tolerated!”

“Ceh! Who attacks us these days?” The young soldier disdainfully continued, “Last time was such a long time ago. Since the installation of the origin ability defensive mechanism, who still dares to charge at us? Once they reach the defense mechanism, they would be instantly killed by the lasers! Plus, Captain Zhou, you have been a guard here for 5 years. Have you ever encountered any berserk beast attacking this city?” (T/N: Today, you will)

Zhou Tiancai was speechless. He indeed had not encountered one so far. As this young soldier mentioned, berserk beasts attacking the city was many years ago. It was the older generation gate guard’s story. At that time, this profession of being a gate guard was worthy of respect!

Ever since the city had the scanner technology, scanning the entire perimeter of the city, there was basically nothing for them to do.

The gate guard had now became the most leisurely and easy going job; the most unpromising career. The only thing they could be proud of was their distant past—guarding the city gates from berserk beasts, protecting their homes.

It was just that now, these were all legends from the past.

Sigh, Zhou Tiancai no longer spoke further. Looking at a distant place, his heart began to doubt for a bit. Berserk beasts, do they dare attack the city? If mankind’s technology was obviously more powerful and dominant than the berserk beasts, then why not sweep the whole berserk beast population? Don’t tell him that berserk beasts also had some monstrous secret weapon?

As he was puzzled, Zhou Tiancai noticed at the distant horizon, there was some abnormal movements which were then followed by dust flying in the air. It seemed that numerous berserk red jackals were madly rushing at something.

“Has my eyesight gone bad?”

Zhou Tiancai rubbed his eyes and looked once again, yes! It was actually true!

“Berserk beasts attack! Alert!” As Zhou Tiancai shouted, some excitement could be noticed in his voice.

Several young soldiers next to him yawned. “Please, Captain Zhou. This is the start of the year, how can any….f*ck my life, this is really happening!”

These young soldiers were shocked on the spot, watching the distant boiling red army; as if it were a gigantic mouth wanting to devour them whole.

Zhou Tiancai cursed at them, “These brats, why are you daydreaming! Activate the defense mechanism!”

“Yes! Yes!”
