Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Zhao Yu backed away a few steps before quickly ran towards their house.

Not long after they left, the owners of those glowing green eyes from the forest rushed over to the pile of waste.

The creatures, similar to wolf, were larger in size compared to those on the Earth. Their teeth were sharper, their claws were making them one of the most threatening wild animals to humans.

Fortunately, Zhao Yu had killed a few of these creatures before, teaching them not to mess with him.

He escorted Xu Meng Lan back to the house and opened the hatch. Once he saw her go in, he closed it.

Lying on the iron ladder, Xu Meng Lan looked through the watchtower ar Zhao Yu until he vanished from her sight. Only then did she snap back to reality.

“He… feels different somehow…”

Today”s Zhao Yu was different unusually polite and even escorting her back and forth.

“It’s an act; he’s definitely pretending! “‘

Xu Meng Lan soon regained her composure, believing Zhao Yu was up to something again.

After all, a year of living together had given her a clear understanding of him.

Once outside, Zhao Yu put away his pistol and took out a dagger, sneaking towards the forest.

As he approached, dozens of eyes suddenly appeared where the waste had been dumped earlier.

Zhao Yu locked eyes with the creatures for a moment, then slowly moved in another direction.

His target wasn’t these pack wolves but another wild animal in the forest, a creature similar to a wild boar.

For more than ten minutes, Zhao Yu ventured deeper into the forest, pausing occasionally to examine animal tracks before proceeding.

The original owner knew how to hunt, but he feared injury and rarely engaged these larger animals.

The only time he did was a few months ago when he shot several wolves with his gun.

The result was attracting mutated beasts. Not only did he not get to eat the wolf meat, but he also narrowly escaped death, lying at home for a week before recovering.

Since then, the original owner had mainly targeted smaller animals.

Apart from hunting, another way to obtain food was to scour the city for supplies and then trade for food in human settlements.

However, the nearest town to the village is now occupied by several mutated beasts, leaving no room for trading.

Further away is another town, over fifty kilometers distant, making it an inconvenient trip.

In this era, even if there are cars on the road, no one dares to drive them; traveling is only possible on foot.

Fifty kilometers would take about a week to walk, and one would also need to be wary of nocturnal beasts.

When the settlements were still in existence, only significant powers could travel between two towns like this.

In the post-apocalyptic world, groups of a few, like Zhao Yu s, were the mainstream. Still, some chose to band together – small groups had around fifty people, while larger ones could have several hundred.

The original owner with three beautiful women by his side and a relatively safe shelter, never considered joining these groups.

After walking for several more minutes and spotting a footprint resembling a petal, Zhao Yu stopped.

He chose a robust tree and easily climbed up using his hands and feet.

Sitting on a sturdy branch, Zhao Yu rolled up his sleeve and gently made a cut on his arm with his dagger.

“Drip-!”

After three or four drops of blood fell, he took a bandage from rhe simple first aid kit on his waist and dressed the wound.

A few minutes later, noises began to stir in the surroundings.

Soon after, a wild boar, almost one and a half meters tall, appeared, heading towards the place where the blood had dropped, sniffing the ground as it moved.

Zhao Yu slowly stood up, dagger in hand, and when the wild boar was right beneath the tree, he jumped.

“Thud-!”

The dagger pierced directly into the vital point of the boar’s head.

“Grunt—1″

The boar screamed in pain and charging madly in all directions.

Zhao Yu quickly lay on top of the wild boar, gripping it tightly to secure himself.

‘”Crash-!”

“Bang-!”

“Thump-!”

The boar, entirely out of control, breaking several trees as thick as bowls.

After a few more minutes of chaos, it seemed to lose strength, its movements slowing, until it finally collapsed, motionless.

Zhao Yu then pulled out the dagger and stood up. He couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

At this moment, he too was battered and bruised, with cuts and bloodstains all over, hardly looking any better than rhe boar.

“I was careless…”

This was Zhao Yu s first time hunting such a large wild beast. With his robust physique, he had thought it would be easy.

But in comparison, it seemed the boar’s strength surpassed his own. At the very least, his punches couldn’t break a tree as thick as a bowl.

“Roar—!”

A distant beastly roar made Zhao Yu’s face change. He quickly bent down, attempting to drag the boar.

“UP you goes!”

His face turned red from the effort, managing to move the boar just a little.

“I didn’t think this through…”

Now, he couldn’t leave without taking this boar back; otherwise, all his injuries would be in vain.

Of course, this was also related to Zhao Yu’s desire to eat meat, without resorting to rat meat.

After a brief test, with his strength, dragging this wild boar back should be feasible..
