Chapter 5: The Forest

Although it is a Chinese restaurant, because of the difference in diet, the food in this Chinese restaurant is more inclined to Western tastes, which belongs to Western-style Chinese food.

Although Luo Ning was an international mercenary in his last life, before he became a mercenary, he was a native of China, so this Western-style Chinese food was not very suitable for him. He tasted like a hamburger.

This reminded Luo Ning of his missing father. Although he has been living in the United States for decades, he is very good at cooking Chinese food. He is proficient in all eight major cuisines. If he hadn't disappeared now, how would Luo Ning be? Wouldn't eat this takeaway either.

"Hope it's alright!"

Luo Ning sighed, solved the last bun, and concentrated on driving.

...

Matthew's logging farm is not far from the city, only a few hours' drive. The two set off late at night. When they arrived at the logging farm, the sky was still dark, and the forest was shrouded in darkness. The shadow is looming, like a ghostly shadow.

"Is this the forest?"

"No, that's right!"

What happened two years ago left a huge psychological shadow on Matthew, and now he recalls it like a nightmare. He said to Ronin in a panic, "Those monsters are hidden in this forest, and they attacked me yesterday. the lumber mill, and captured a night watchman."

"Um!"

Luo Ning rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then turned back and asked, "You didn't call the police?"

"Call the police?"

Hearing this, Matthew was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and said angrily: "Of course, but the sheriff of the town doesn't believe there are any monsters at all, he only thinks that grizzly bears and other beasts are planning to organize manpower. Enter the forest for search and rescue."

The police agencies of the US federal government are mainly divided into three levels: federal, state, city and county. Except for the federal police, state police, city police, and county police have no vertical relationship with the US federal government. They are directly led by local governments and have great autonomy. .

Therefore, when encountering such a situation, the local sheriff usually organizes people to solve it by themselves. If it cannot be solved, it will be reported, and then transferred to the special department that handles such incidents.

Although this speed is not fast, it is not slow. If Matthew hadn't directly approached him as a party, maybe the supernatural investigation agency of the Federation would send someone over in a few days.

Although he has a name in the Hunter Guild and has a completely legal identity, Luo Ning still doesn't like dealing with the official personnel of the Federation.

"Sir, then I...?"

"You can go to the bank in town to withdraw money first,

Looking at Matthew, who looked terrified, Luo Ning smiled and said, "I prefer cash transactions."

"This……"

Looking at the dark road, Matthew shrank. Without the escort of the "bodyguard" Ronin, he did not dare to drive away alone, so he could only say, "Let's wait until dawn."

...

In the late autumn, it was almost winter, and the night became extraordinarily long. Luo Ning sat in the car, and after finishing the last box of lunch, he lay down on the seat, ready to rest for a while to refresh his spirits.

This is very necessary. Monsters like Wendigo rarely act in groups, because they are all ghouls that have mutated from humans. At the beginning of the mutation, all food will be eaten up by them. , there is no opportunity to transform peers at all, and naturally it is impossible to form groups.

But there are always exceptions. If a Wendigo lives long enough, its power will become stronger and stronger, and its wisdom will also grow to a certain extent, so as to consciously cultivate companions and form a group of "clan" structure , just like the group that is now entrenched in the forest.

A group of monsters with extraordinary power is a threat that cannot be ignored for any hunter.

Ronin is no exception, so he must raise his spirits and deal with the next situation in the best state.

In Luo Ning's light sleep and Matthew's anxiety, time passed quietly, and soon, the sky was illuminated by the brilliance of the rising sun, and the dark and terrifying forest gradually disappeared, revealing its lush appearance.

"gentlemen!"

The flustered shouts interrupted Ronin's light sleep. He opened his eyes and turned his head to look. He happened to see Matthew approaching with an anxious face, and said repeatedly, "The sheriff of the town has led the team here."

"Oh."

Ronin responded, still sitting in the car, as if he didn't care about the situation at all.

This made Matthew even more anxious, and said repeatedly: "They are going to enter the forest for search and rescue!"

Ronin glanced at him and asked, "So...?"

"This……"

Ronin's attitude made Matthew a little nervous, but he still said bravely, "Are you trying to stop them, after all, those monsters are still in the forest."

Ronin shook his head and said in a low voice, "This is your business, I'm only responsible for the entrustment, and I don't care about the rest."

"All right."

Ronin said so, and Matthew couldn't hold on any longer. He could only face the team of police officers who came to search and rescue.

But after a while, he turned back again, accompanied by a middle-aged police officer with a big shoulder and a round waist.

"I'm Terry, Sheriff of Doron Township."

The middle-aged police officer came to the car window, introduced himself, looked at the environment inside the car, his eyes kept wandering around Luo Ning's waist and ribs, and finally said: "Listen to Matthew say you are The bounty hunter he brought in from Miami, I want to check your credentials."

Luo Ning glanced at him, and didn't say much after that. He took out a document from the glove box and handed it over.

"Um!"

Ronin's casual attitude caused the Sheriff Terry to frown and feel a little dissatisfied, but he still took the certificate and checked it.

"Hunter Guild?"

Looking at the sign on the certificate, Terry frowned even more, handed the certificate back to Ronin, and said coldly: "We have organized people to enter the forest for search and rescue, and we don't need outsiders to intervene, otherwise, there will be an accident. , we are not responsible!"

After all, he ignored Luo Ning's reaction and turned to leave.

Such a bad attitude was not only aimed at Ronin, but also at the Hunter Guild behind him.

In this world with extraordinary power, the strength of state organs is strong, but there is no way to achieve dominance. For some powerful organizations, state organs have no way to control them. They can only recognize their existence and give legal rights to them. sex.

The Hunter Guild is such an organization. Its influence spreads all over the world. There are branches and branches in various countries and regions. In addition to responding to various extraordinary events, it also undertakes various entrusted tasks, including but not limited to pursuit, security , investigations, etc.

Many bounty hunters, private investigators, and hired armed forces will be affiliated with the hunter guild to obtain legal status and execution rights, especially bounty hunters hired by the US federal government. Powers would even outshine the local police.

For this reason, the police in all parts of the United States are extremely repelling the existence of hunter guilds and bounty hunters. After all, no one wants to have a few job-seekers on their own territory, let alone these people sometimes You can press your head.

Therefore, it is reasonable for the sheriff to take such an attitude. Luo Ning didn't take it to heart at all, and he was even a little happy. Someone was standing in front of him to explore the way for free. This kind of good thing is rare.

What?

Stop them from entering the forest?

Forget it, Luo Ning doesn't have the habit of sticking his hot face to someone's cold butt. He might as well lie down in the car for a while if he has time to spare.

"gentlemen……"

Seeing that Luo Ning was lying down again, Matthew was helpless. Although he knew that preventing the search and rescue team from entering the forest at this time was a thankless task, there was no way. This matter started because of him. If it's not good, he will also be implicated, but helplessly, he can only bite the bullet and negotiate with him.

result……

"Damn!"

Matthew returned to the car and said angrily to Ronin: "These police officers don't believe me at all, Terry, that brainless guy, even suspects that I killed people, even if there are only corpses left, They'll bring it back from the forest too, a bunch of bloody bastards!"

Luo Ning opened his eyes, ignoring his complaints, got out of the car, opened the weapon box, took out a few grenades and a few tubes of holy water and equipped them within reach. I haven't come back yet, so leave here and make this call."

With that said, Ronin handed a business card to Matthew, and regardless of his reaction, he picked up the shotgun and weapon case and walked into the forest.

The vast land and sparse population has always been a characteristic of the American Federation. People yearn for prosperous big cities, and rarely settle in the countryside, and even many remote towns have been abandoned as a result.

Although the town where Matthew is located has not yet reached this point, it is not much better. The geographical location is too remote, and there are no resources worth developing, so it can only decline day by day.

The town is still like this, not to mention the forest. On weekdays, except for the workers in the logging field, no one will enter at all. Therefore, this forest has always retained its original style. The terrain and environment are extremely complex, and it is easy to get lost. There are many The poisonous snakes and beasts are entrenched, and it is very dangerous.

Fortunately, Terry is not only the sheriff of the town, but also an experienced hunter. Every year he enters the forest to hunt elk or grizzly bear, so he is very familiar with the terrain of this forest, plus a ranger's. An old friend and a few subordinates armed with guns are enough to cope with the conditions in the forest.

"Those damn bounty hunters are like dirty hyenas, they dare to do anything for money, and he will definitely enter the forest, everyone, pay attention, don't shoot if you don't see the target clearly, I don't want any of you Who was charged with manslaughter because of that guy!"

Terry reminded his subordinates and searched forward. He knew that grizzly bears had no habit of storing food. Most of the night watchmen who were kidnapped by it had already become rations, but as the sheriff of the town, how could he want to? Take the body back and give an explanation to the residents of the town.

"Help!"

Just as the search and rescue team was searching and advancing, a sharp cry for help suddenly sounded in the dense jungle.

"Someone, hurry up!"

Because they never expected to find the survivors, after hearing the cry for help, the search and rescue team felt a little surprised.
