As Lu Ming put more strength into his swing, he carefully hammered the box for the second time.

“Dong—!”

A louder sound echoed through the rocky beach and reverberated across the entire wasteland. Many birds that were originally resting on the trees were frightened and flew into the clouds.

Oh no, this is not good. Why was this sound even louder than the last time? Could he have woken up the wild boar?

Lu Ming turned around and cautiously observed the wild boar nearby.

Although Lu Ming was frightened by the sound, the wild boar in the distance did not even bother to move its ears. It turned over and continued sleeping.

This is strange. Lu Ming looked at the wild boar in confusion. There must be something wrong with this situation.

Almost all the surrounding birds were scared away by the sound just now, but this wild boar could still sleep at the side indifferently. There must be something wrong.

Could it be…That wild boar didn’t seem to be very interested in his matters.

Lu Ming held the bronze hammer tightly. He did not dare to make a complete conclusion. Although the wild boar’s movements did not seem to be very big, but wild boars had always been a cunning animal.

They were very smart. There was a high chance that his every move at this moment was being closely observed by the wild boar.

It was probably acting!

At the thought of this, Lu Ming felt even more uneasy.

Looking at the box that was emitting a golden glow from the gap in front of him, Lu Ming was determined not to give up!

Lu Ming decided to take the risk since he knew that his actions would be heard regardless of how much strength he used. He gripped the hammer tightly and prepared to smash the box open.

If the wild boar approached, Lu Ming planned to hide inside the car. He was confident that the car would be able to withstand the boar’s strength for some time.

Lu Ming decided to focus on opening the box first before dealing with any other issues.

Lu Ming’s gaze was firm. He waved the heavy hammer in his hand and smashed it at the few cracks in the box.

“Dong dong, dong dong!” A loud sound echoed across the entire wasteland.

For a moment, Lu Ming felt that his ears were about to go deaf. However, for some reason, the wild boar still maintained its strong willpower and did not move.

As he continued to hit the box, Lu Ming kept an eye on the wild boar’s movements.

Fortunately, although he made a big move, but the wild boar did not notice him yet. Moreover, the box in his hand was about to be opened!

Lu Ming looked at the box in his hand and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips. He raised the hammer in his hand and aimed at the gap in the box. As long as he hit the box one last time, he would succeed open the box!

Boom!

The massive sound waves shook the weeds on the rocky beach, causing them to sway continuously.

However, the wild boar lying on the ground seemed to be deaf and indifferent to the scene in front of it.

However, it had already quietly turned back towards Lu Ming’s direction.

Lu Ming immediately understood the wild boar’s intentions. As expected, it was just trying to deceive him with its behavior.

Moreover, Lu Ming frowned silently as he looked at the severed hand in the grass far away, which was still stained with blood.

It was likely that before he came, someone had already fallen into this wild boar’s trap!

It had been lying in an ambush near the box for a long time, waiting for a survivor like him to fall into its snare!

If the sun hadn’t risen slowly, he might not have been able to see the remains.

However, even if the wild boar wanted to catch him now, it wouldn’t be able to!

Lu Ming waved the hammer in his hand and struck the broken box heavily.

A golden light burst out from the tattered box.

“It’s open!”

Lu Ming quickly hid to the side.

The incident with the rat in the box had left him with a lingering fear of opening this kind of box. Even now, he still remembered what happened that day.

The golden light dissipated. Unexpectedly, there were only two items in the huge box. There was a white first aid kit with a red cross on it. There was also a metal sheet the size of a backpack, which was neatly stacked with dozens of camouflage-patterned pieces.

Although there weren’t many supplies in the box, this first aid kit seemed to be quite useful. Lu Ming opened the zipper and took a look inside. Inside the first aid kit, there were bandages, hemostatic medicine, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and other items. There was even a practical guide. With this, he should not have to worry about injuries.

However, Lu Ming picked up the camouflage metal piece at the side and stared at it for a long time, but he could not figure out what it was.

The first aid kit could be used when he was injured, but what were these iron sheets for?

Lu Ming scratched his head in confusion. However, it could not be a useless piece of junk from a box of such quality.

He would take them first. Anyway, at most, he would turn them into refined iron blocks, which should be quite useful.

As Lu Ming was transporting the supplies, the wild boar, which had been pretending to be asleep behind him, quietly opened its eyes.

Its green eyes were fixed on Lu Ming’s back. It stood up quietly from the grass and raised its fangs, which were like a spiked club, and approached Lu Ming step by step.

However, it ignored the sound it made while walking in the grass.

Lu Ming’s ears twitched when he heard the rustling sound, and he became subconsciously alert.

The wild boar had already started to move.

Lu Ming frowned and pretended that he wasn’t around. He quickly grabbed the two items on the ground and walked towards the car.

Fortunately, the wild boar hadn’t realized his intentions yet. Otherwise, he would be in big trouble if it rushed over.

Now, he had to act faster!

Lu Ming looked at the car that was only a few steps away in front of him and quickly quickened his pace. He could not care less and ran forward quickly!

As long as he quickly returned to the car, that wild boar would be unable to do anything to him!

However, the moment Lu Ming started running, the wild boar behind him immediately sensed that something was wrong!

He suddenly halted and dug his hooves into the ground, charging straight at Lu Ming!

“F*ck!”

Lu Ming’s heart skipped a beat and he immediately became nervous. He focused his mind, shifted his steps, and quickly changed direction, running towards a massive boulder nearby.

“Hmph!”

The wild boar followed Lu Ming’s new direction and continued to charge toward him. Just as it was about to collide with Lu Ming, Lu Ming changed his footing and deftly skirted around the boulder.

“Boom!”

The wild boar was caught off guard and its enormous tusks slammed into the boulder.
