Chapter 8

"Alright, team member Qi Ming will stay in the mountain to continue reconnaissance and search and rescue the missing college students, and other team members will go down the mountain to deal with the monster."

Seeing that the situation was about to escalate, Moroboshi Dan in the command room gave the order.

As the nominal commander of the GUTS team, his words gave Qi Ming a legitimate reason for his actions.

"It seems there's no chance to disobey the captain's order." Qi Ming looked regretful and walked into the thick fog ahead.

Now there was no need to stop and wait for the other three to follow; he increased his speed and ran toward the direction where the strange roar came from just now.

Soldier Shan Zhong and Kishida were very annoyed, and the way down the mountain was full of complaints.

"It's really unbearable, this stubborn guy, he takes himself too seriously!"

"I think he's just holding on because he can't save face; after all, he made big claims before. I want to see how long he can waste time there. Can he waste time until the monster comes out?"

"It's just why the captain always stands on his side; is it just because he has some strength?"

Saijo Nagi appeared relatively steady: "Perhaps the captain considered that a new team member who hasn't received training is very likely to have side effects in battle, and said that to take care of his emotions."

Kishida: "Makes sense, but the GUTS team is not a welfare home; everyone can't always accommodate such a reckless guy."

Saijo Nagi: "After this incident ends, I will formally submit an application to Captain Moroboshi Dan and Staff Officer Quan Teng to transfer team member Qi Ming to other departments."

…………………………

After moving forward for several hundred meters to the west, Qi Ming heard bursts of muffled sounds.

"Three short, three long, three short... it's SOS, someone is calling for help!" Qi Ming's spirit was lifted.

He moved away a boulder blocking the cave entrance; inside was a male college student knocking on the wall with a stone.

He looked gray-faced and confused, and it seemed he had suffered a lot.

After seeing Qi Ming standing in the faint light, the turbid eyes of this college student had luster: "Are you... are you an angel sent by God to pick me up?"

Qi Ming poked the "GUTS" mark on his team uniform: "The person who sent me didn't have a hole in his palm; he just had a broken leg."

He wouldn't reprimand this student for "getting into trouble and adding trouble to others," because he himself was also a restless person before coming to this world, often "challenging limits."

The male college student realized that this was not a phantom he saw before starving to death: "You are from the GUTS team!"

"Do you have a companion?" Qi Ming took out emergency food and water from his backpack and handed it to him.

"Yes, but we got separated because we got lost." The male student took it excitedly and started wolfing it down.

Qi Ming asked: "Can you find him?"

"I know the direction he escaped in, but you can't walk around randomly here." The male student's face flashed with panic: "Regarding what I'm about to say, you must not be afraid."

Qi Ming: "Encountered a monster?"

"That's right!" The male student nodded desperately.

The monster that appeared from the fog chased him relentlessly; he hid in this cave, and the falling boulder buried the cave entrance.

If Qi Ming had come a moment later, he would have been trapped to death inside.

Qi Ming asked: "What does the monster look like?"

"It looks... like that!" The male student's eyes were full of huge terror, and his trembling right index finger pointed behind Qi Ming.

Qi Ming also noticed the murderous intent behind him for the first time, turned his head sharply, and saw the huge head poking out from the fog.

A sharp and protruding head, pincer-like hands, a brown body covered with ring-like structures...

It was the rock monster 【Sadola】, no mistake.

"Run... run quickly!" Seeing the monster discover him, the male college student hurriedly grabbed Qi Ming, but his legs were soft, and he couldn't move at all.

"You go, after finding your companion, tap the button three times, and a rescue team will locate your position and come over." Qi Ming handed the locator with the emergency call function to the male college student.

He himself took out the GUTS Hyper Gun and moved toward Sadola.

"Hmm?" Sadola let out a puzzled roar, not understanding why this tiny human didn't run away in panic after seeing it, but dared to walk toward it.

It threw a boulder from its side and smashed it toward Qi Ming.

Relying on extremely fast reactions and a strong body, Qi Ming jumped three meters high and easily avoided this blow.

Very good, he had reached the effective shooting range of the GUTS Hyper Gun!

Qi Ming found a good angle and pulled the trigger; a red laser shot from the muzzle and hit Sadola's right eye.

He perfectly inherited his father's shooting talent and surpassed him; before coming to this world, he could hit a target from a hundred paces away.

"Roar!" The vital point was hit, Sadola was furious and went crazy, roared, and pounced toward Qi Ming.

"Anxious?" After Qi Ming finished speaking, he looked at the college student who was stunned behind him: "Don't be afraid, with me here, do what you should do!"

After saying this, he shot while using the movement technique that looked like flying over eaves and walls in the eyes of the college student to move the battlefield to a distance.

He wanted to make a bigger commotion and attract Teton out as well.

This would not only ensure the safety of others but also facilitate his transformation after gathering the monsters, giving them a wave to take them away, and gathering ten points of Star-Gifted Heavy early.

…………………………

Although the village was at the foot of Mount Kirifuki, to reach it, one still had to pilot a plane to the other side of the mountain range.

The thick fog gradually dissipated, replaced by the snowflakes hitting their faces. The two GUTS Feiyan jets were swallowed by the silver-white world; everywhere they looked, it was vast and boundless.

"A mountain range, half thick fog and half heavy snow, it's really a spectacle." Soldier Shan Zhong sighed.

Kishida said: "Probably because of the steep terrain or special airflow. I heard that this area is still covered by white snow in summer, and the authorities of the Meteorological Agency cannot explain it."

However, the GUTS team uniforms they wore had excellent heat resistance, cold resistance, and impact resistance, so this low temperature didn't matter at all.

Because Qi Ming withdrew, Moroboshi Dan let Emi substitute.

She had already arrived at this snow village where a monster had just appeared and was waiting for several seniors here.

"The monster has disappeared; this is a photo taken by an eyewitness." In collecting information, Emi was first-class.

Kishida and the others gathered around, only to see a massive giant with fluffy white long hair standing in the snow, its face looking very terrifying.

Saijo Nagi: "What is the disaster situation?"

"This is the strangest part." Emi said: "No houses were destroyed, and no one was killed. The monster appeared out of thin air and suddenly disappeared. The local villagers call it 'Wu'."

Saijo Nagi: "Wu?"

"Help, help!" Just at this moment, a girl's urgent cry for help came from the front, accompanied by the roar of a motorcycle.

The four of them looked up and saw a girl who looked about sixteen years old, wearing a tattered red cotton-padded jacket, fleeing desperately.

Behind her, five men who looked like thugs were riding motorcycles and laughing: "Haha, did you think a mere monster could scare us away!"

After saying this, they started the engines and actually wanted to use the motorcycles to crash straight into her!
