Our neighborhood has been transported again.

Chapter 34 Hunter
Upon hearing Wang Jun's account, a thought came to Qin Ziwen's mind: "Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing may be a misfortune in disguise."

He remembered that in addition to hunting powerful creatures in the current area, another way to obtain cards was by exploring resource points in the wild.

The community emphasized that supply points in the wild are often located in high-risk areas.

Qin Ziwen praised, "Congratulations, Brother Wang! When luck comes, nothing can stop it."

Although he had heard this kind of talk many times today, Wang Jun couldn't help but smile, because it was Qin Laodi who said it, and he had always thought that Qin Laodi was a very thoughtful person.

Qin Ziwen asked curiously, "Brother Wang, didn't you encounter any guardian beasts or anything? When I used to play games, there were usually guards in places like this, right?"

Wang Jun recalled: "No, it's possible that we were lucky and didn't encounter it. That cave is downstream of this river, and it should be during the dry season. Although it was relatively humid, there wasn't much water inside, only a few puddles in a few places."

Qin Ziwen pondered and had a rough idea in his mind.

The community only stated that the supply points in the wild were located in high-risk areas, but did not say that the danger was right next to the supply points.

Qin Ziwen didn't intend to ask Wang Jun what card he had obtained, as he considered it a private matter.

Wang Jun beckoned to the corner, "Hey bro, do you know what card I got? A recruitment card! It can recruit a living, breathing real person!"

Qin Ziwen was taken aback. "Brother, you're telling me this already?"

The long-haired man who had been sitting in the corner got up and walked over.

As Qin Ziwen got closer, he noticed an indescribable quality about the man—calm and quiet! Yes, quiet.

He was sitting in the corner, but apart from the first time I saw him, his presence wasn't very noticeable afterward.

Sitting in the corner, he was like a harmless plant.

When he walked over, his footsteps were very light, and his posture was different from that of ordinary people.

Wang Jun stood up and put his arm around the long-haired man's arm: "I got a recruitment card, a hunter. He's an expert in traps, bow and arrow making, and animal tracking. You should know what that means, bro."

Qin Ziwen nodded. In this environment, being able to release a Hunter recruitment card is undoubtedly equivalent to releasing an SSR.

Wang Jun looked intently at Qin Ziwen: "So, why don't you join us?"

Qin Ziwen looked around; everyone in the living room was looking at him, waiting for his reply.

He stood up and took a few steps, then said thoughtfully, "Brother Wang, I'm very grateful that you think so highly of me, but I'm not alone. I have a younger brother, and I've also reached an agreement with several neighbors upstairs. There are eight of us here now, so it might not be convenient for you to just join us. Thank you for your kindness, Brother Wang, but if you want to eat fish, you're welcome to come and exchange some."

Wang Jun hesitated for a moment, then looked at the others.

The three teammates sitting on the sofa were all hesitant.

With a sigh, Wang Jun knew the answer.

He believed his teammates would welcome Qin Ziwen and his brother if they were the only ones to join.

The last encounter with the wolf pack resulted in the loss of three men, but with the Qin brothers and the newly recruited hunters, there are now three more able-bodied young men.

However, Qin Ziwen's side has eight people. If they were to integrate into the team, their own "team" would be diluted, and their voice would be greatly diminished.

Just like Paris, which recruited a large number of Black immigrants, the voice of white people declined significantly.

With this thought in mind, Wang Jun gave up the idea of ​​recruiting Qin Ziwen, but he still said to Qin Ziwen, "When you think it through, you can come to me."

Qin Ziwen suddenly asked, "Brother Wang, do you know about those giant birds that have been appearing in our neighborhood these past few days?"

Mentioning this, Wang Jun frowned and nodded: "I know."

"I don't know if it's an eagle or a falcon. How good is the night vision of birds like these? Can it compare to an owl?"

When asked about his area of ​​expertise, Wang Jun spoke eloquently: "Most eagles and hawks are diurnal birds of prey with relatively weak night vision. A few species are twilight birds of prey with slightly stronger night vision, but they still cannot compare to owls."

The giant bird that came twice a few days ago should be a diurnal raptor. It's just unclear whether it's a mutated, elongated Earth species or a native bird. Judging from its hunting performance, its grip strength is probably weak for its size.

At this point, Wang Jun became interested. "Have you seen a documentary called 'The Jaguar in the Sky'? In it, a harpy eagle pierced a tapir's skull with a single blow. The tapir's skull is about the same thickness as a human's, so this means that, to some extent, a harpy eagle, if it were to swoop down, could potentially pierce a human skull. If we zoom in proportionally, imagine a harpy eagle with a wingspan exceeding seven meters that can fly at high speed. If it wanted to hunt us humans, it wouldn't even need to throw us off the ground. This shows that, for birds of similar size, that giant bird's grip strength is inferior to that of a harpy eagle."

If I can make a few suitable bows by then, I'd like to try hunting that giant bird. Maybe I can even get some cards like the male crocodile leader. Don't be fooled by its huge wingspan; birds don't actually weigh much.

Qin Ziwen seemed to be thinking, "Brother Wang, birds don't necessarily fly faster just because they are bigger, right?"

Wang Jun laughed: "Haha, of course not, unless it evolves into a supernatural being."

After exchanging pleasantries, Qin Ziwen came out of a building.

In the neighborhood, many children gathered together in twos and threes.

Many children had mud all over their faces, necks, and hands.

It's clear that these children are happy now that they don't have to go to school.

For the first two days, the adults still had the energy to keep a close eye on them, but after nearly a week of struggling to survive, they gradually relaxed their discipline.

"Big brother, these are the crabs I caught. Do you want to buy them?" A little boy who looked about eight or nine years old ran over, holding a plastic box containing two large crabs.

How much did you sell it for?

The little boy looked up, his eyes bright. "Do you have sanitary napkins?"

Qin Ziwen's smile froze. "I'm the older brother, you'll have to ask the older sisters for it."

"Oh, sorry." The little boy chuckled and ran off with the box in his arms.

After meeting up with his younger brother, the two went out through the east gate.

Reaching a clearing on a high ground by the river, Qin Ziwen waved to the sky.

A dark shadow descended swiftly.

“Wheeeeee-ah!”

The harpy eagle nuzzled Qin Ziwen affectionately with its head.

"How about it? Are there many birds around? Have you seen any of those really big birds?" Qin Ziwen spread his arms wide.

The harpy eagle tilted its head, and judging from its expression, it seemed to be genuinely pondering Qin Ziwen's words.

Qin Ziwu whispered, "Brother, can it understand human speech? This square head looks a bit silly."

"Ow~"

The harpy eagle suddenly pecked Qin Ziwu's arm with its beak.

Even through his clothes, the pain made him gasp for breath.

"Holy crap, this thing can understand human speech."

Qin Ziwen recalled the card's description: a domesticated adult harpy eagle.

Since the term "domesticated" was specifically added, it's not hard to understand why it can understand some languages.

The harpy eagle howled twice, but Qin Ziwen couldn't understand animal language.

"If you have it, extend your left claw; if you don't, extend your right claw."

The harpy eagle extended its right claw and placed it on Qin Ziwen's palm.

Qin Ziwu was so excited when he saw this that he almost jumped up. "Holy crap, Fang Naoke, you're too smart!"
