Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Snow Wolf Armor (Third update, please subscribe)

After a bloody battle, Xia Luo and the others killed eight mutant giant wolves, causing five deaths and injuring over forty people.

Everyone quickly dragged the bodies of the giant wolves back to the place bathed in orange light, and all personnel returned to the academic building.

Looking at the bodies of the eight giant wolves, each weighing at least 300 pounds, everyone cheered.

For them, there was finally food, even though it came at the cost of casualties, but it was all worth it.

...

Meanwhile, Yang Xiao and the others didn’t sleep all night, preparing for the battle with the mutant giant wolves. Fortunately, the giant wolves did not attack again in the latter half of the night.

Finally, dawn broke, and looking out from the hole in the iron door, Yang Xiao and the others saw that the heavy snow outside had stopped and the pack of wolves on the playground had disappeared.

Near the iron door, there were three giant wolves’ bodies, and a bit further away, there were four giant wolves’ bodies with two arrows stuck in each of their eyes, shot dead by Yang Xiao.

Everyone looked out from the hole in the iron door.

Yang Xiao climbed onto the iron rings on the wall, which allowed for a clearer view. All he saw was a boundless expanse of white.

The sky seemed to show signs of clearing, but it was not very obvious, only that the visibility was clearer than before.

This was all thanks to Huang Wen leading a hundred-member Flying Bird squadron, who had been flying around the area for over a month, dispersing the dense fog for several kilometers around.

”Boss, it looks like there are no wolves outside anymore, can we open the door and go out?”

Yang Xiao nodded,

”Of course, but just to be cautious, everyone should exit the cave in battle formation.”

Yang Xiao, Xiao Zhe, Huang Wen, Zhao Gang, and Chen Fei each led their teams out of the cave.

”Hey, it’s not snowing anymore.”

Someone exclaimed.

”Is winter going to end?”

”This snow has lasted almost three months, who knows when this thick snow will melt.”

”Yeah, really hoping for some sunshine.”

...

”Alright, stop dawdling. First, let’s retrieve the bodies of the giant wolves, and also, all equipment and Genetic Fragments the giant wolves dropped after death should be turned over to Huang Wen.”

Xiao Zhe said loudly.

Yang Xiao remained vigilant as he walked out of the cave, checking around to ensure there were no wolf tracks nearby before he relaxed.

The bodies of the seven giant wolves were all dragged back, accompanied by five pieces of Snow Wolf Armor that dropped. In addition to providing +4 Defense, the armor had a special effect: reducing ice damage by 20%.

Yang Xiao handed the armor to Yang Xiao,

”Boss, this Snow Wolf Armor increases the defense by 1 point and also reduces ice damage by 20%. What does this reduction in ice damage mean?”

”Simple, it probably means it can keep us warm. All five of our Genetic Evolutions have already advanced to the Primordial Gene Primary Stage, so let’s give these armors to Long Yongjun and others to wear, so they too can freely move outside wearing the armor.”

Last time when genetic evolution was upgraded, Long Yongjun, Dai Yun, Feifei, Chen Lu, and Li Zhan didn’t have the resources to upgrade, so it’s right to give them the Snow Wolf Armor first.

Huang Wen nodded her head and handed the five armors to Long Yongjun and the others. Upon hearing this, they jumped up in joy. Long Yongjun previously had a piece of Wolf Skin Gold Armor, but it was not thermally insulating. This Snow Wolf Armor could reduce ice damage by 20%, meaning it could enhance frost resistance by 20%.

The five quickly took off their old armors and put on the new Snow Wolf Armors, and immediately felt much warmer, their excitement was palpable.

Yang Xiao said:

”This Snow Wolf is a gift from heaven to keep us warm. We can eat its meat and use its fur for warmth. From now on, whoever kills a Snow Wolf can keep its Hard Armor. Those who already have Snow Wolf Armor should give it to others.”

To conserve resources, Yang Xiao also ruled that those who upgraded to High-Level equipment should give their old equipment to those in need.

Long Yongjun looked at his Wolf Skin Gold Armor, finding it hard to part with, but ultimately gritted his teeth and gave it to a good brother of his.

Equipment and weapons in this new world are constantly being updated, even different types are adapted to different combat environments. In the current situation with limited resources, everyone can only exchange them for mutual use.

The seven wolves also dropped more than twenty complete Primordial Gene Discs.

Xu Nanqiang, with the logistics team, began skinning the wolves and lighting a fire to prepare stewed wolf meat. The cave was bustling like during the New Year celebration, stewing three wolves at once—about a thousand pounds of meat—along with potatoes.

Xu Nanqiang even took out the chili powder that he usually sparingly used. The wolf meat sprinkled with chili powder tasted even better; it removed the gamey taste and added a spicy kick, especially in this snowy and icy environment. Biting into the wolf meat, eating a potato, sipping some soup—that felt incredibly satisfying!

Huang Wen handed over the seven wolf skins to Qin Yu, Deng Xiao, and others to process and then make into coats.

”This coat made from Snow Wolf skin is more luxurious than any Chanel, Dior, or Versace.”

Yang Xiao joked.

Qin Yu smiled slightly.

Yang Xiao continued.

”Wolves usually hide during the day and come out at night. Although they left during the day, they will definitely come back tonight. Everyone think about how to deal with these wolves, think carefully. Wolf meat, warm wolf skins, Snow Wolf Armor, and Gene Discs.”

Xiao Zhe and others laughed, and then everyone started to strategize.

”Let’s dig a trap in front of the cave entrance. Once a wolf runs over, it will fall in.”

”That’s useless. I saw last night, the giant wolf can leap about ten meters. How deep do you plan to dig? It’s icy and snowy right now; even an excavator can’t get through, and the excavators are buried in snow.”

”Let’s reinforce our iron gate. Many iron bars were broken last night, and if they come again tonight, it probably won’t hold.”

Initially, the generator and welding machine were placed under Xu Nanqiang’s bed along with some leftover angle iron and steel materials.

The logistic team sent out dozens of people to start reinforcing the gate with welding.

Because it was too cold, the diesel in the generator had frozen. Everyone moved the generator to the kitchen and after defrosting it there, they managed to start it.

”I think we can weld some spikes on the gate. If the wolf pack hits the gate, they will automatically be impaled by the spikes.”

Ma Junhui said.

Ma Junhui already regarded himself as a member of Kongming Academy, deciding never to return to Xianan University. Living here felt warmer than at Xianan University, like a big family, giving him a sense of home.

Yang Xiao and others nodded; this idea would work.

Thus, the logistic team cut thumb-thick steel bars into twenty to thirty centimeters in length and welded them upright on the gate, adding hundreds of such spikes.

From a distance, the whole gate looked like a cactus, covered with many sharp spikes.

Yang Xiao wanted to walk around to check for track marks of the giant wolf. Xiao Zhe, Zhao Gang, Huang Wen, Chen Fei, and Long Yongjun immediately followed.

Huang Wen spread her wings and flew in the mid-air, confirming that there were no giant wolves around.

Yang Xiao saw the giant wolf tracks in the snow leading to the surrounding mountains, guessing that these giant wolves had moved into the mountains.

After everyone was busy for a while, the smell of Xu Nanqiang’s wolf meat permeated the entire cave, and everyone couldn’t wait, salivating at the aroma.
