With Gu Zheng here now, and the wolf meat on the ground, everyone felt both relieved and overjoyed.
Nearly fifty forest wolves were quickly butchered through everyone's combined efforts, not a single scrap of meat wasted.
Even the massive Wolf King's corpse was carried out of the woods by several large men working together.
For a time, the official road was a hive of bustling activity.
Meanwhile, Gu Zheng asked Lu Guangbei about his situation—why he had appeared in Nanyun with so many people.
"Sigh..."
Lu Guangbei sighed. He made no attempt to hide his exhaustion, plopping down on a rock to catch his breath as he answered, "It's impossible to survive in the north anymore. Aside from those inside the cities, almost everyone in the outskirts is dead. I led my people and fled Kaiyuan Prefecture before the new year, but by the time we reached Four Directions Perfecture, I had less than ten of my old comrades left."
