The Fourth Satellite Town was the last to be established under the command of Chu City, the smallest in size, and the easiest to fall prey to attacks. However, due to its location on a major trade route and its mutual aid alliance with the Wolf Fang City to the southwest, it became a key trading post between the two cities. As a result, the Fourth Satellite Town ended up being the most prosperous of the four satellite towns.
After all, fortune favors the bold, and this "good place" with both merchants and prey became a goldmine for bounty hunters and other service workers.
Among these service workers, the largest group was made up of prostitutes, those who entertained with their charms.
It's almost ironic—the two oldest professions in the world, prostitution and assassination, had proven to have an extraordinary resilience. Even a catastrophic disaster that nearly brought down human civilization hadn't made a dent in these industries. On the contrary, it had made them even more "flourishing."
Of course, this is understandable. In a world with little to no entertainment, the only remaining ways for people to vent their desires were through killing and copulating.
However, understanding this didn't make it any easier for Chu Xun to witness the scene unfolding before him. The gates of the town were wide open, and countless scantily clad women and numerous bounty hunters surged into the town.
At that moment, Chu Xun couldn't help but clench his fists and become alert.
Whether it was Ghost Blade, Tang Qi, or the little girl whose name he never learned, all had shown him the cruelty of this world, teaching him through bloodshed. So, upon seeing the gates open and a crowd rushing towards him, his first instinct was to treat them as enemies.
But before Chu Xun could order the Xenomorph to prepare for battle, Chu Kuangren gently patted his shoulder and said, "Relax, these are just some poor souls..."
As soon as Chu Kuangren finished speaking, a heavy scent of perfume assaulted their senses, and Chu Xun was soon surrounded by a horde of women, each dressed provocatively.
Instantly, his adrenaline surged. He looked around, his eyes filled with flashes of bare thighs and exposed chests. These women seemed unaware of the cold, dressed as if it were summer, many of them wearing nothing more than revealing lingerie that left their figures completely exposed.
What's more, these women were highly professional, and they seemed to have seen it all. Despite Chu Xun's charred and blackened appearance, they showed no signs of disgust. Instead, they greeted him with enthusiasm, as if they were old lovers meeting again. Some of the bolder ones even started tending to his wounds, gently brushing over his body.
Faced with such a provocative assault, Chu Xun—who, despite everything, had remained a virgin both before and after the apocalypse—felt deeply embarrassed. Especially when those women began to touch his scorched body with their soft, smooth skin. The strange sensation sent a chill down his spine.
This damned post-apocalyptic world—so love-hate!
The bounty hunters, however, were nothing like the women. They passed right by Chu Xun and Chu Kuangren, heading straight for the corpses of the mutated gray wolves.
What happened next surprised Chu Xun. As soon as the bounty hunters reached the bodies of the wolves, they immediately crouched down and began to skillfully dissect them. They were like professional anatomists, expertly slicing open the mutated gray wolves' carcasses and quickly sorting the parts.
Bones, meat, fur, fangs, and even blood were all neatly categorized and stored, with meticulous notes jotted down in small books. Afterward, the bounty hunters would rush to the next corpse, continuing their dissection.
Behind them, other people were carrying large containers and bags, collecting the pieces of the dismembered wolves and transporting them back to the Fourth Satellite Town like ants to a hill.
"What is this?" Seeing this scene, Chu Xun, still surrounded by the women, was momentarily stunned. He then looked over at Chu Kuangren, only to see that he seemed indifferent to the bounty hunters "stealing" his spoils.
"You're clearly a newbie, not recognizing the Comfort Squad and the Corpse Collecting Team!" Chu Kuangren shook his head, then pulled a voluptuous woman with large breasts close, giving her a kiss before explaining, "The Comfort Squad is actually Chu Town's medical team. Don't underestimate these women. They've undergone professional training, and their skills are top-notch. Whether it's medical care or... other services, they're very skilled!"
Chu Kuangren seemed to remember something and gave a sly chuckle. Then, he pointed at the bounty hunters still busy with their work. "As for the Corpse Collecting Team, that's even simpler. Their job is exactly what you're seeing now—dissecting and processing the spoils. They're the most professional in the field. A mutated gray wolf corpse in their hands can be worth 30% more, and with a 10% handling fee, these little ants are making a nice profit."
"I see…" Hearing Chu Kuangren's explanation, Chu Xun nodded thoughtfully.
There were so many corpses, and if Chu Xun and Chu Kuangren had to handle them, it would probably take them ten or fifteen days, not to mention they didn't have the time or energy to deal with it all.
Even if they had enough patience and energy, by the time they processed the bodies, they would no longer be fresh, and their value would drop significantly. At that point, even a 10% handling fee would likely result in a loss.
Thinking about this, Chu Xun's gaze shifted back to the women. It seemed that, like the bounty hunters, they were also offering paid services.
"Haha, don't worry about the money. With the mutated wolf king, you'll make a fortune!" Chu Kuangren patted Chu Xun on the back, laughing. "As a man, you should aim to wield the strongest power and enjoy the best life. Today, I'm treating you. Pick whichever woman you want, and I guarantee you'll have a great time!"
"Better not…" After hearing Chu Kuangren's words, Chu Xun hesitated for a moment before shaking his head, turning down the offer.
As a virgin, he couldn't help but feel attracted to the women. They were not only revealing but also incredibly beautiful—any one of them would have been considered an eight-out-of-ten in his old life. However, Chu Xun was naturally more conservative. As a virgin, he didn't want to lose his first time to a woman who had likely shared the bed with thousands of others.
If he did, he might end up feeling like he was the one being "purchased" rather than being with someone special.
"Well, suit yourself!" Chu Kuangren shrugged, not pushing the matter further. "I believe today's battle has given you some insights. Practicing combat techniques requires not just fighting, but thinking. I'll give you a day to reflect on your experience. Tomorrow, we'll resume training!"
"Yes, Master!" Chu Xun nodded slightly. Chu Kuangren was right. After the intense battle, he had gained some understanding of combat techniques, especially the leg technique that allowed him to adjust his center of gravity for continuous attacks. This had greatly improved his fighting ability.
Moreover, he had a vague sense that this technique wasn't limited to leg strikes. If he could fully integrate it into his fighting style, it would likely take his combat power to the next level.
"By the way, your performance today was impressive, especially your grasp of the Gale technique. It exceeded my expectations." Chu Kuangren seemed to remember something and said, "As a reward, the mutated wolf king is yours. Afterward, someone will negotiate the price with you. If you mention my name, they won't dare to offer a bad price."
After finishing his words, Chu Kuangren waved his hand, then embraced a few of the scantily clad women, heading toward the Fourth Satellite Town.
"Gale technique?" Upon hearing Chu Kuangren's words, Chu Xun's eyes lit up.
In his mind, he recalled records of the "Seven Kills" combat techniques. Seven Kills were the seven basic combat skills summarized by humanity after the great disaster, and they formed the foundation for all advanced combat techniques. Each technique focused on an essential combat skill.
The Gale technique that Chu Xun had grasped was centered on maintaining balance in battle.
Although he only knew the basic names of these techniques, Chu Xun had no idea about the specifics. He never expected to have learned one of the Seven Kills techniques by chance today.
Just mastering a basic combat technique had increased his strength dramatically, so he could only imagine how powerful the other basic techniques were.
Excited by this thought, Chu Xun was ready to improve further.
At that moment, something even more exciting happened—he spotted a giant insect, one he had longed to see for so long!
Seeing the insect, which was as large as a small mountain, Chu Xun couldn't hold back his excitement. He quickly walked toward the insect and the old man standing next to it!
