Chapter 24: Chapter 24 Rapid ImprovementOn the wasteland, as another sniper shot sounded. In the distance, a Grey-Scaled Lizard, lying in wait for an ambush, fell to the ground. This kind of lizard mutated by radiation is more difficult to deal with than ordinary Radiation Wolves. Although they don't move in groups, they are venomous, and once hit by their venom, even a one-star Extraordinary of Physical Body will suffer severe injuries. Moreover, due to their grey scales providing camouflage, the ambushes by Grey-Scaled Lizards in the hilly areas near the Sanctuary are often more successful than those by Radiation Wolves. However, in front of Su Yu, who possesses Perception of Killing Intent, these creatures are not too difficult to deal with. Their ambush is indeed exquisite. Unfortunately, once they get within a five hundred meter radius of Su Yu, their presence becomes as obvious as a firefly in the night. "Great marksmanship!" Watching the Grey-Scaled Lizard hidden in a patch of yellow sand fall to the ground. The members of the Ninth Squad couldn't help but cheer aloud. Even Yang Lie couldn't help but exclaim, looking at Su Yu with admiration in his eyes! "Su Yu, I'm truly impressed with your skills! With your talent, you should have come to hunt in the wilderness sooner! You would have become a Transcendent by now!" A team member couldn't help but exclaim. This was their seventh day in the wilderness. Over the past seven days, Su Yu had shown amazing marksmanship and reconnaissance techniques, and as each day passed, both his marksmanship and reconnaissance techniques improved. Progressing at an astonishing rate. By today, Su Yu's shooting skills gave the Ninth Squad the impression that he was far better than Zhang Wu! "Hey, what are you saying? With Su Yu's talent, staying in the Sanctuary as a Mechanic is truly utilizing his potential. Residing in hunting teams like us, with no tomorrow, would be a waste of his talent!" Another team member immediately interrupted him, worried Su Yu might misunderstand. Just as he said. In the Sanctuary or other settlements. Aside from top hunting teams like Night Slayer and Wolf Pack, many members of other hunting teams simply wish to be ordinary sanctuary residents, but are unable to, so they have to choose this path. Claiming someone is fit to be part of a hunting team is not exactly a compliment! The team member, reminded by his companion, also realized his gaffe and quickly nodded in agreement with his companion: "Right, right, Su Yu, I was just talking off the cuff. Don't take it to heart!" "You all are too kind. I'm part of the Ninth Squad now, we're all on the same side, there's nothing we can't say." Su Yu waved his hand with a gentle smile, looking towards the far ends of the wasteland, a trace of fervor flashing in his eyes. "Moreover, I also feel that this wasteland is really a blessed land for me!" Su Yu spoke, glancing at the Profession Panel in his vision. Seven days of hunting had directly upgraded his Gunsmith profession level from lv5 to lv7. As for Basic Sniper Skills and Basic Gun Mastery, one had advanced to lv5, while the other had directly increased to lv7. Even the relatively hard-to-improve Reconnaissance Technique had increased to lv5. Not to mention, over these days, their harvest was quite substantial. Although not enough to cover next month's Sanctuary dues in one go, after helping Wang Shan and Wu Yue pay their bail contributions, the remaining harvest was enough for the Ninth Squad to rest well before embarking on another round of hunting! "Let's go, it's been a week out here, we should head back to rest, and save Wang Shan and Wu Yue!" "Then, with the two of them joining, we can gather enough supplies at once and stay out for half a month to collect next month's quota!" Yang Lie called out loudly. The other members of the Ninth Squad, including Su Yu, all smiled and immediately followed Yang Lie, taking their respective hunting spoils back towards the Sanctuary. By the evening of the second day, they could see the outline of the Sanctuary appearing on the opposite horizon. "Looks like Night Slayer Team really thought we wouldn't make it back from the wilderness this time!" Seeing the Sanctuary right in front, Su Yu couldn't help but let out a cold laugh, with a chilling intent in his eyes. This time, the Ninth Squad, fearing another repeat of past incidents, deliberately chose to hunt within ten kilometers of the Sanctuary. This was to guard against Night Slayer Team's usual tricks, attracting too strong Radiation Beasts to attack them on their way back, using a borrowed weapon for murder. Though the distance was close, it still required more than half a day's journey. Yet surprisingly, this return journey was smooth sailing. Obviously, Night Slayer Team had ceased paying attention to them. Hearing Su Yu's words. Yang Lie and the others in the Ninth Squad also smiled knowingly, looking towards the Sanctuary with excitement in their eyes. "If Night Slayer Team knew about our harvest this time, their expressions would be priceless!" Thinking this, their steps unconsciously quickened towards the Sanctuary. At the entrance of the Sanctuary, as usual, many hunting team members gathered here. Some were preparing to leave the Sanctuary to train and explore in the wilderness, while others had just returned with their teams, chatting and sharing their gains. Among them were members of the Night Slayer Team. They had just finished a short hunting trip, with bountiful harvest enough to not venture out for the next month to gather their Sanctuary quota. In their excitement and relaxation, they couldn't help thinking about Yang Lie's group, who had left the Sanctuary days ago and provoked their Night Slayer Team. "Guess when Yang Lie and his group will return?" A member of the Night Slayer Team couldn't help but chuckle. "There are only five of them, how long can they last in the wilderness? It's been a week now, I bet we'll see them return in a sorry state by morning at the latest!"

As they were mocking. A cold voice from Lei Wu sounded from afar. Ever since being threatened by Su Yu last time, Lei Wu's hatred for the Ninth Squad, especially Su Yu, had intensified. These days, after estimating the Ninth Squad's arms and supplies were near their limit, he stationed himself here, preparing to taunt Yang Lie's group, destined to return in humiliation. Hoping to provoke them into attacking him first. In doing so, he would have the opportunity to settle old scores!
