Encampment

"Can you cook snake?"

The two chef sisters looked at each other in bewilderment and shook their heads.

"If you haven't cooked it before, have you at least seen it? Or heard of it?"

"If not, you can just treat it like regular meat, how about that?"

It seemed that the "three delicacies of snake" was out of the question, but the two sisters could still stew a soup or cook the meat.

"Jiang Yue, are there no chefs among the newly recruited people this time? If not, is there anyone who's good at cooking?"

With a snake, who knows what other animals they might encounter, and the two sisters might become overwhelmed.

"Oh, I almost forgot, there are two women in their thirties who used to be housewives, and they said they enjoy cooking at home. If that's true, their cooking skills should be decent."

Jiang Yue recalled that she initially didn't plan to recruit them since she already had two chef sisters.

But after some calculations, they were just two short of a thousand people.

Jiang Yue also had a slight case of obsessive-compulsive disorder, so she ended up recruiting them.

"Alright, form a dedicated chef team of about ten people. Preferably those who were chefs before the apocalypse, but if not, choose the ladies who enjoyed cooking before."

Four people were still not enough, so Xiao Jun decided that when they returned, he would form a separate logistics team to serve the combat team of a thousand.

The logistics team wouldn't participate in battles but would provide services to the combat team.

However, this plan couldn't be implemented now and would have to wait until they returned to Future City.

After killing the giant snake, Xiao Jun's team set off again.

But this time, Xiao Jun was more cautious and warned everyone to report any signs of animals in the vicinity immediately.

If they could catch another large animal today, like a wild boar or buffalo,

The wild boars after the apocalypse could weigh over a thousand pounds each, so catching one would provide meat for the whole team.

Upon hearing Xiao Jun's words, all the sisters became excited.

It had been so long since they had fresh meat.

Many sisters rubbed their hands in anticipation, ready to pounce on any large animals they discovered.

"Remember, don't act on your own, you must call me," Xiao Jun repeatedly reminded them.

These wild animals could be aggressive and formidable, and underestimating them could lead to casualties.

But after that, they didn't come across any large animals, only supply drops.

It wasn't until Xiao Jun's team of a thousand had traveled more than ten miles from Future City that he finally chose a place to set up camp.

It was probably a stretch of barren fields in the past, wide open with no buildings around.

When Xiao Jun decided on the camping spot, Jiang Yue immediately sent people to scout the surroundings and clear the area.

An hour later, the barren field was cleaned up, and eleven tents were neatly set up, with all the furnishings arranged inside.

The central tent belonged to Xiao Jun and the sisters from the second floor.

The interior layout was identical to the second floor of the villa in the Territory, and even the furniture seemed to be the same.

"Did you just move the entire second floor here?" Xiao Jun was surprised, unaware that the girls were so fond of the place that they had moved everything from the second floor.

The other tents, of course, did not receive such luxurious treatment.

Each tent housed a hundred sisters, with no separate rooms and bunk beds instead of regular beds to save space.

Still, it was a decent living condition, as each tent had high-tech lighting, toilets, and bathing facilities to meet the sisters' basic needs.

Xiao Jun placed numerous high-tech light fixtures around the camp to detect any approaching creatures at night.

However, there were few lights inside the camp, so that once night fell, it would blend into the darkness, avoiding unwanted attention.

"Brother Jun, Sister Yue, the scouts who went for reconnaissance have returned. They said they spotted a huge wild boar."

Wild boar?

Everyone was thrilled, not expecting to actually encounter such a thing.

Xiao Jun immediately called for the sister to lead the way, while Jiang Yue and the others eagerly followed to witness the excitement.

"Brother Jun, it's over there. The sister who discovered it said it was too big, so they didn't dare approach and provoke it."

After walking for another ten meters or so, Xiao Jun finally saw the wild boar.

This thing could no longer be called a wild boar; it was more like an elephant, weighing an estimated three to four tons.

Its long, sharp tusks indicated that it was not to be trifled with.

A wild boar of this size, enraged, could probably scatter Xiao Jun's entire team in an instant.

"Brother Jun, shall I go?" Wan Qianya had no psychological barriers against pigs like she did with snakes.

"No, its hide is too thick for your daggers to inflict fatal wounds, and you might provoke it."

This wild boar was massive, its strength comparable to a Level 5 zombie.

And due to its enormous size, it would be difficult to deliver a killing blow since even their blades weren't as long as its neck.

"Then what should we do?"

Everyone looked to Xiao Jun.

Before this, only he knew of the existence of such a creature; the others had neither seen nor heard of it.

"Have you scouted the other areas? Are there no other creatures within the vicinity?"

Xiao Jun suddenly asked this question.

Although she didn't know his intentions, Jiang Yue still answered immediately.

"No, within a radius of five miles, this is the only wild boar. There's not even a fly anywhere else."

Upon receiving this affirmative response, Xiao Jun's eyes lit up.

"You'll take care of it later. The others would struggle to even pierce its hide."

Jiang Yue nodded.

Her skill could ignore defenses, so no matter how thick the boar's hide, Jiang Yue could treat it like paper once she activated her ability.

"Wan Qianya, you'll lure it later."

This task couldn't be assigned to Li Jingyin, who might not be able to withstand the boar's charge even with her ability activated. The agile Wan Qianya would be better suited for it.

The group relocated to a different position, leaving only Wan Qianya and Jiang Yue.

"Good luck!" Xiao Jun mouthed the words from a distance.

The two women smiled wryly.

Brother Jun had really taken a liking to delegating tasks, not even handling this himself.

According to the plan, Wan Qianya would go out and provoke the boar, while Jiang Yue would lie in ambush for a sneak attack.

Soon, Wan Qianya completed the first step, drawing the boar's aggression.

She picked up a stone, jumped out, and threw it at the boar's head.

The enraged boar, snorting heavily, charged after Wan Qianya as if it were a bull.

Jiang Yue quietly hid nearby, holding two steel knives.

As the boar chased after Wan Qianya, Jiang Yue extended one of her blades.

A leg-severing strike.

Moving with incredible speed, she sliced off the boar's front and hind legs on the left side.

Jiang Yue pushed her speed to the limit, circling to the boar's right side and delivering two more slashes, severing the remaining two legs.

The once elephant-sized wild boar was now reduced to nothing more than helpless prey.

"Kill it outright and bring it back," Jiang Yue ordered as she struck one blow after another, practically dismembering the boar.

If the wild boar could speak, it would surely beg her for a quick death.
