Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Killing Wolves, Eating Meat (Seeking Subscriptions)

The first assault by the pack of wolves resulted in the death of seven or eight wolves, with the forelegs of five or six other wolves chopped off. These injured wolves barely managed to drag their bodies away, but it’s estimated they won’t live much longer.

At this moment, inside the Genetic Store, Gu Bo and his assistant were playing chess. The roars from the battle between the wolf pack and Yang Xiao and others outside were clearly audible to them.

”Master, with the sudden attack of the mutant giant wolves, do you think Yang Xiao and the others can hold out?”

Gu Bo smiled faintly and said:

”If Yang Xiao and the others had not evolved to the Primordial Gene Primary Stage a month ago and acquired Soul Beast Skills, they would have been eaten by this pack of wolves within three days. As for now, they should have no problem protecting themselves. As to whether the wolf pack or Yang Xiao and his team will ultimately win, that will depend on the strategy and tactics of both sides.”

”What if the wolf pack wins?”

”Hehe, whether Yang Xiao wins or the wolf pack wins, it is all the same to us. We only need those creatures that possess excellent Evolutionary Genes. Humans and wolves are fundamentally animals. With Genetic Evolution, the intelligence of wolves is also continuously increasing. Perhaps one day they’ll surpass humankind.”

”Master, does that mean we’re just going to sit here and watch the show?”

”Hmm, remember the rule: we do not intervene in any struggles between Earth’s Mutated Creatures. The entire Earth is now a hunting ground for Genetic Evolution, a race for survival of the fittest, where humans and animals return to the starting line of a primal competition.”

...

Meanwhile, at Xianan University, in Star City, within Nanmu City, large packs of mutant giant wolves appeared.

Xia Luo was fortunate to discover that the building they were residing in was under the protection of the orange glow from the Genetic Store, which could temporarily stop the wolves’ attack on them.

However, the tragic reality was that these mutant giant wolves had surrounded the entire teaching building. If they could not fight their way out, they would ultimately face a dead end.

”Xia Luo, I think the arrival of the wolves is a good thing. If we kill the wolves, we’ll have food, and we can use the wolf pelts to make clothes,” Zhou Qiang said excitedly. They hadn’t had a full meal in a long time. Out of the more than two thousand people at Xianan University, only just over a thousand remained, with several hundred dead from freezing or starvation.

Xia Luo nodded, clenched his teeth, and said fiercely:

”Damn it, this winter needs to come to an end, as do our days of suffering. Zhou Qiang, immediately arrange to distribute some food. Give half a kilo of meat to each of the five hundred elite guards. After we’ve eaten our fill, we’ll charge out, kill a few wolves, and eat to our heart’s content.”

Zhou Qiang immediately ran out of Xia Luo’s office, excited, and called together the people of the elite guard to go to the warehouse to get food.

They no longer had spare wood to start fires for cooking, so they ate the dried meat raw. Fortunately, they had previously stored plenty of seasoning sauces, so dipping the dried meat in soy sauce or hot sauce still tasted quite good.

Half a kilo of dried meat per person was already the best provision they had had in the past month, as typically they only had half that amount of dried meat per day.

After eating, everyone in the guard was in high spirits, excitedly thinking about gorging on wolf meat after the kill.

After all, a wolf could weigh up to three to five hundred kilos!

Those who weren’t part of the elite guard hadn’t received any food at this point but were equally excited. Everyone began organizing, ready to rush in to help at the critical moment.

This mattered to the survival hopes of everyone involved.

Xia Luo, holding a Golden Longsword, stood at the front of the classroom corridor, where five hundred elite guards were densely packed. This was the team that Xia Luo had painstakingly prioritized and protected; they were the pillars of Xianan University.

Xia Luo would rather let seven or eight hundred people starve to death to ensure the food supply for this group. These people were utterly loyal to Xia Luo, fully recognizing his position as their leader.

Xia Luo raised his Golden Longsword and shouted loudly:

”Brothers, do you still want to starve?”

”No!”

Over a thousand people shouted in unison.

”Do you still want to freeze?”

”No!”

”Good. Centuries ago, a great man once said that it’s endless fun to fight against the heavens and the earth. This damn heaven wants us to starve and freeze to death. Do we agree to that?”

”We do not agree!”

The shouting was thunderous!

”Okay, brothers, your lives have been bought with the sacrifices of over eight hundred of us. For those more than eight hundred brothers and sisters who have died, I, Xia Luo, feel deeply ashamed.

However, their deaths were not in vain. Their sacrifice allowed us to make it to today. Now, food is just outside the doors, and fur for keeping warm is also outside the doors. If we kill these mutated giant wolves, we can have a feast today, big meaty chunks to eat, and hearty soup to drink. What do you say, guys? Does that sound good?”

”Good!”

Everyone drew their weapons, roaring with soaring spirits, their morale as high as the clouds.

Perhaps it was after having survived these most difficult days, Xia Luo looked at everything before him, his heart surging with emotion and his eyes moistening.

”All right, brothers, confidence is good, but those mutated giant wolves outside are ferociously vicious. Moreover, wolves are highly intelligent animals, especially adept at pack hunting. Our goal is simple: first, kill a few wolves, even if it’s just one wolf, drag it back to eat our fill, and then continue killing.

Remember our purpose: avoid prolonged battles, rapidly kill off the wolf pack, and once we’ve eaten and regained our strength, we’ll gradually eliminate all these mutated giant wolves.

Golden Light Shield to the front for defense, close combat warriors, Elemental Mages, long-range archers, and the airborne Flying People Team, all must cooperate in battle. Does everyone understand?”

”Understood!”

Xia Luo was very confident in the tactical coordination of his five hundred elite guards.

”Alright, let’s move out, hunt wolves, and eat meat!”

Having said that, Xia Luo, leading the five hundred elite guards, walked out of the teaching building. The temperature outside was much colder than inside; as soon as people stepped out, they felt their bodies shivering uncontrollably, the cold was unbearable, and this condition determined that they could not fight for an extended period.

Xia Luo led his team to set up their formation near the orange glow.

The wolf pack was also on alert, with over a hundred mutated giant wolves similarly drawing up their formation.

Twenty people holding Golden Light Shields stood in the first row, Zhou Qiang leading the close combat warriors in the second row, archers and Elemental Mages in the third, with dozens of huge birds in the sky.

Xia Luo bellowed:

”Attack, kill!”

The archers fired their shots, and so did the airborne teams, raining Feathered Arrows.

Among the wolf pack, there was a three-meter-tall giant silver Wolf King who let out a roar, and the wolf pack howled as they charged forward, kicking up a flurry of snowflakes.

Pfft, pfft...

Feathered Arrows fell like rain, but the airborne team’s Feathered Arrow attacks did little damage; they barely scratched the giant wolves’ skin before falling off.

The arrows fired by the archers had a bit more killing power, but they still seemed unable to inflict significant damage on the giant wolves. Many arrows only pierced through the wolves’ outer skin, and only occasionally, when an arrow hit a giant wolf in the eye, would the wolf howl in pain and tumble to the ground.

”Aim for the eyes, the eyes!”

Xia Luo shouted.

But hitting the eyes of the charging giant wolves was easier said than done.

The wolf pack reached them in an instant.

”Elemental Magic Attack!”

Xia Luo yelled once again.

Immediately, a myriad of Fireballs, Lightning, Ice Balls, and Wind Blades were hurled against the wolf pack, covering the sky and earth.

The most lethal among these were the Fireballs and Lightning. The Ice Balls and Wind Blades had marginal effects; it seemed that these wolves were immune to Ice Balls, which could not inflict any damage.

After being struck by lightning, about a dozen giant wolves slowed down their movement instantly, with some hit by Fireballs causing patches of their fur to burn off and agonizing them into howling.

That colossal Wolf King stood in the distance with dozens of giant wolves behind it; they had not joined the combat, seemingly observing something.

Seeing the wolf pack surging forward, Xia Luo let out a thunderous roar:

”Brothers, kill them!”

His figure flashed as he rushed forward, followed instantly by over two hundred Close Combat Beast Souls, and a bloody battle commenced on the snowy ground.
