Chapter 434: Return

An ordinary rabbit weighs over a hundred catties, so that enormous Mutated Rabbit Leader probably weighs over six hundred catties.

With such a large quantity, and no containers to hold the blood, the strong scent of blood could easily attract other predators.

Thus, under the tireless efforts of Qu Baoguo and the others, it took only a little over an hour to process all the rabbits.

They loaded the meat onto the trailers used for transporting supplies; they had no time to rest, nor could they afford to.

Daring not to linger for another moment, they immediately set off back to the base.

As they hurried back, Qu Baoguo calculated their gains from this outing; they had several thousand catties of meat, which would be enough to support their lives for a period of time.

Some time after they left, uninvited guests arrived at the site where the mutated rabbits had been processed; they were all attracted by the strong scent of blood.

At this point, there was still a large amount of undried rabbit blood on the ground, and when they arrived, they immediately threw themselves down and began licking it up.

However, Qu Baoguo and the others were still completely unaware of this.

Their group was rushing towards the Doomsday Fortress; although everyone was exhausted, seeing such a large harvest made everyone very happy.

After about two hours, they also arrived near the Doomsday Fortress, and coincidentally, they encountered two Survivors who had come to seek refuge from Liang Yu’s side.

At this point, the two had already gotten lost and couldn’t find the base Liang Yu had mentioned; they had stopped to rest for not long before encountering the returning Qu Baoguo and the others.

Upon their first encounter, the two were completely stunned to see such a large group, and they subconsciously touched the weapons on their bodies, as if it could bring them a sense of security.

Qu Baoguo and his group also noticed the two by the roadside, but the team did not stop for them and walked straight past them.

At this moment, Qu Baoguo, carrying a gun, separated from the team, telling them to continue returning while he approached the two.

This action immediately made the two inexplicably nervous, and they revealed their weapons, ready to fight to the death.

Qu Baoguo looked at the nervous two and couldn’t help but shake his head, but he still advised them.

“Ladies, the vicinity is not very safe. If you’ve rested well, find a place to hide quickly while it’s still early.”

As mere acquaintances, Qu Baoguo could only say so much and intended to leave.

It was then that, because of Qu Baoguo’s action, one of the Survivors called out to Qu Baoguo, and after a moment of thought, asked him about the location of the base Liang Yu had mentioned nearby.

This inquiry heightened Qu Baoguo’s vigilance, and his gun barrel involuntarily pointed at the two.

His action instantly made the atmosphere heavy.

The Survivor seemed to realize her mistake and quickly explained.

“Brother! Brother!”

“Don’t get excited, let’s talk, put the gun down!”

“We came from that RV. The owner of the RV said if we had nowhere to go, we could come and seek refuge here.”

“We don’t mean any harm.”

Hearing their explanation, Qu Baoguo lowered his gun barrel a bit, scrutinizing them up and down, seemingly pondering the truthfulness of their words.

Just then, another Survivor took out a box. Qu Baoguo looked at her warily, but the next moment, he smelled a fragrance!!

Looking at the roasted meat in the box and the aroma constantly stimulating his sense of smell, he confirmed what the two had said.

After all, at present, only Liang Yu could send these things, so when they took them out, Qu Baoguo’s guard against them had already significantly decreased.

Qu Baoguo looked at the two, pondered for a moment, and decided to take them back to the base with him.

Soon, the three caught up with the returning main group.

After reuniting with the team, the two looked at Qu Baoguo’s fully loaded trailers, their eyes filled with envy and pleasant surprise.

At the same time, this also proved the strength of this base; to be able to hunt so much meat showed its power.

At this point, one of them spoke.

“Thanks to meeting you, otherwise we wouldn’t have known where to go.”

The Survivor beside Qu Baoguo smiled, looking like a fawning dog, and naturally replied.

“Since you’re coming to join us, we’re all family, no need to be so polite.”

In contrast, Qu Baoguo said nothing, only telling them to speed up their return and rest once they reached the base.

They naturally had no objections to Qu Baoguo’s decision, not to mention whether they would encounter other predators resting in the wild with so much meat.

If they stayed too long, encountering other Survivors was inevitable, although under normal circumstances, they would pretend not to see each other.

But if you’re dragging several carts full of supplies, how could others not be envious?

They understood this principle all too well, having survived thus far.

Just then, a low roar suddenly came from behind in the distance, growing closer and closer, and the ground trembled slightly with it.

Everyone’s expressions changed, and Qu Baoguo also realized something was wrong and quickly shouted.

“Quick!”

“It’s not far ahead, quickly pull the supplies over.”

“Everyone else, prepare for cover, fight and retreat.”

At the same time, he looked at the two who had just joined; they didn’t have firearms, so he arranged for them to go ahead with the supply trailer.

At this moment, the other Survivors quickly prepared for battle, pushing the trailer from behind to ensure its smooth retreat.

Before long, some Pig-head men appeared in everyone’s sight, emanating a fierce aura, their eyes fixed on them.

Qu Baoguo and the Survivors were completely stunned when they saw them.

They could accept Underground Monsters, and they had seen Humanoid Bugs, feeling not much repulsion.

But when they saw the tusked Pig-head men before them, for some reason, they felt an inexplicable repulsion.

Looking at the Pig-head men rushing towards them, Qu Baoguo didn’t hesitate, immediately telling the Survivors to provide artillery cover, and they also prepared to retreat at the fastest speed.

Are you kidding? Qu Baoguo didn’t want to confront these Pig-head men. If it were other monsters or mutated animals, he might have some ideas.

He completely ruled out dealing with Pig-head men. Although he didn’t know their characteristics, he understood the animal pig.

Domestic pigs themselves are a not fully domesticated species, with thick skin and flesh, incredibly tough, and an unusually large amount of subcutaneous fat.

Similarly, the moment he saw the Pig-head man, he was pondering a question.

Could the firearms they currently held penetrate the opponent’s pig skin?

If they could penetrate the opponent’s pig skin, could they inflict fatal damage?
