The next day, Chen Xing put up a sign in the rest area to recruit players.
As a result, a day passed and only two people came. One is a ghost fox, and the other is a middle-aged man in his forties named Wu Jinjian. This was something Chen Xing expected. Although he had already established his authority, he had not yet killed Young Master Jin and others. Everyone had a wait-and-see attitude.
No one wants to offend the members of the hunting group. They should respect and respect themselves, and protect themselves from others. Everyone still knows the difference very clearly. Chen Xingming knew that few people would come, so he still spent the whole day waiting.
The reason is simple. The people who come now are partners who are willing to share the joys and sorrows with him, while the people who come in the future are just outsiders who can adapt to the changing circumstances. This is the difference between core members and cannon fodder. The former can provide resources, while the latter can only use each other. After the core team is formed, it will be difficult for the latter to disobey the former's orders.
Whether it is a regular army or a mercenary group, as long as they go to the battlefield, escaping from the battlefield is a capital crime.
What Chen Xing has to do now is to find Young Master Jin and kill them all, and then ordinary team members will swarm over.
On the Black Death Continent, survival is extremely difficult. Exiles usually join groups and serve as cannon fodder. There are very few who work alone like Chen Xing. Those who work alone want to form their own team and do not want to be controlled by others.
Chen Xing was fed up with being the younger brother of two generations and wanted to be the boss himself. And he also has the corresponding strength and can pull the team by himself. However, it is difficult to recruit the core members of the team. Not only do they have to be compatible, but they also have to be tested. They are not easy to organize.
After all, Chen Xing is a time traveler. He has no family background and few friends who he grew up with. In the ancient times of the earth, Liu Bang's team included a group of relatives and friends from Peixian County and a group of cousins. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao's team was also blood relatives and generals. Even all the big forces and figures in later generations and the core team have the shadow of their hometown and family.
Chen didn't have an original team, so he could only recruit people one by one and accumulate them slowly.
In the evening, the newly joined Guihu and Wu Jinjian exchanged each other's attributes on the public computer in the training center.

Ghost Fox's attributes are very balanced, and he is a rare sniper with the ability to track sounds. Chen Xing was pleasantly surprised. The ghost fox could make up for his lack of ultra-long-range combat power and also provide investigation capabilities.
Seeing her ability, Chen Xing also understood why she presided over the gambling game. It turns out that his hearing is particularly developed and he can hear the points on the sieve.
"I was in a tight situation some time ago. I sold my sniper rifle, and you have to redeem it for me." Ghost Fox said.
"No problem." Chen Xing agreed immediately. He still has a good impression of this girl with an open personality. The three-shot combo last night made the opponent lose consciousness for a moment. It was really refreshing and exciting.
Heihu is in his early thirties, a bit dusty, and not very beautiful. Of course, this "beautiful" is based on Aaliya, Yeyang Bailiu, Suna and others as reference objects. There are very few women in the world who can not be reduced to green leaves as a foil under this level of reference objects. But Black Fox exudes a mature charm, has a hearty personality, is open and enthusiastic, and has the air of a heroic woman.

Wu Jinjian is from the Eastern Continent and calls himself a "swordsman". According to his own introduction, he is a "remnant of an aristocratic family." Literally, they are the descendants of a family that has perished. Wu Jinjian is thin in stature, has a dull personality, and doesn't like to talk. He is good at using the "three-foot sword" of the Eastern Continent, and can also use an assault rifle, but his marksmanship is average. He also used a billiard cue to demonstrate the ancient swordsmanship of the Eastern Continent, but Chen Xing felt that it was not very practical.
Wu Jinjian's talent is "acute perception", which has a similar name to Chen Xing's "danger perception", but is completely different in nature. The former is a keen neural response, and the latter is a time-space induction in the category of mysticism.
After getting to know each other, the four of them began to prepare for the pursuit of Young Master Jin.
Chen Xing first spent more than 700 gold coins to redeem Guihu's "big black eagle". The security office provides physical mortgage loans, and the interest is calculated according to the World Bank's loan exchange rate.
The Big Black Eagle is an ultra-long-range anti-equipment sniper rifle that uses 20mm sniper bullets. It is manufactured by Chongshan Industry in Qingguo. It uses armor-piercing bullets and combined with energy-charged shooting, it can penetrate the steel plates of standard combat armors within three thousand meters, directly Kill the driver inside.
After redeeming the firearms, Chen Xing was left with more than two thousand gold coins. Fortunately, Wu Jinjian has his own equipment, otherwise he would have to spend money. Wu Jinjian had a three-foot sword and an AK47. After replenishing some ammunition and medicine, the four set off.
As Big Cat's strength increased and its weight-bearing capacity increased, the 120L backpack was replaced with a 160L one, which was responsible for half of the team's supplies.
"It should be the east side..."
Chen Xing judged the direction of Young Master Jin and others from the messy footprints, and led the people in pursuit eastward. More than thirty hours have passed since the other party left. But it doesn't matter. Young Master Jin has been pampered since he was a child and has never suffered much. There are no vehicles here, so they can't go too far.
After tracking for two days, a strong wind suddenly blew, and black dust and rolling gravel covered the footprints.
"Where do you think they will go?" Chen Xing stopped to discuss.
"I think they will continue walking eastward to the safe house in District 26 and seek help from other hunting groups." Guihu, who is also good at tracking, judged.
"There is no hunting group in District 26. I just came over there ten days ago." Wu Jinjian said.
"I think they will go north, into the mountains, and hide for a while." Big Cat said, pointing to an area on the map.
"Why?" Chen Xing asked.
"When the hunting group parachutes, they usually bring dark network communication equipment so that they can ask the family for help..." Big Cat said.
The dark web is another name for the "World Money Transaction Network" and covers all human-controlled areas, but its bandwidth is low and only a small amount of data can be exchanged. As a privilege, nobles can use the darknet to communicate in emergencies.
However, in the Black Death Continent, darknet communication equipment is illegal and cannot be brought into safe houses. So the hunting group will hide it, but for the sake of easy access, it usually won't be hidden too far away. Judging from the map of District 27, the mountainous area in the north is the most suitable.
Chen Xing quickly made a decision and followed the big cat's suggestion to go north.
One day later, the four of them walked into the mountains and stayed in a cave for one night. At noon, after crossing a hilltop, the ghost fox suddenly stopped. His face was solemn and his eyes were half-closed, as if he was listening to something. Chen Xing and the other three also stopped, trying not to make any noise so as not to disturb her.
"I heard their voices!" Guihu said with clenched fists. After listening for a while, he pointed to the northwest, "That's over there, about five kilometers away." She just heard Young Master Jin's voice a few days ago. , the recognition is still very high.
"Good job!" Chen Xing praised.
A moment later, the four of them were lying on a stone mountain three thousand meters away from the target area, observing the mountainous area ahead. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, they did not rush to get closer.
The location chosen by the hunting group had some vegetation, and there was a stream halfway up the mountain. It seemed that they planned to make a long-term base.
After waiting for several hours, towards evening, a man fetching water appeared in the scope. Through this person's movement route, the approximate location of the stronghold was determined.
"Wait until night and go around." Chen Xing said.
Then drink water and rest until nightfall. The four of them made a big circle, climbed up another rocky mountain, and saw the front of the stronghold.
It was a stone cave on the mountain wall, with orange-red firelight coming from inside. There was a sentry sitting at the entrance of the cave, his head lowered, as if he was dozing off.
"What a bunch of rabble." Wu Jinjian couldn't help but comment when he saw the sentry being lazy.
"When a lion fights a rabbit, he must use all his strength." Chen Xing turned around and said, "Don't underestimate the enemy at any time."
Wu Jinjian looked solemn, pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "The boss is right, the golden sword is too big." Then he clasped his hands and said, "I have learned a lesson."
"We are all brothers, so you don't have to be so polite." Chen Xing broke open half a piece of compressed biscuit, handed it over and said, "Eat something, sleep for a while, and wait until tomorrow to see the situation clearly before taking action." Although the other party seemed to be a mob, here There was vegetation, and he was worried that the other party had a hidden sentry, so it was better to be careful.
Wu Jinjian took the compressed cookie and took a bite. Chen Xing thought for a while and asked again, "By the way, what did you do to come here?"
"Kill a dog officer and come here." Wu Jinjian said. He didn't seem to want to mention the past, so he just said a few words.
"My man is the second lieutenant of the Ice Blue City Guards. He was killed by his so-called brother. I avenged him and then came here." Ghost Fox's tone was very plain, neither happy nor sad, just like in Tell me something that happened to someone else.
"He's from Ice Blue City." Big Cat intervened and said, "That's the royal capital."
"Apart from the fact that the house price is more expensive, that's all." Guihu said disapprovingly.
"I haven't been there yet." The big cat said with some envy. He was born in Dragonstone Town in the northern wilderness. His family was poor and he had never been to a big city, let alone the royal capital.
"I'll go if I have the chance in the future." Chen Xing patted Da Mao on the shoulder and said.
"How many years have it been..." Big Cat suddenly sighed, with a little sadness in his voice. According to the survival manual, you must stay for ten years and have enough hunting certificates. That day seemed very far away from him.
"We'll talk about the future later." Chen Xing said calmly.
"Yeah, we'll talk about the future later..." Wu Jinjian repeated, seemingly filled with emotion.
