Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 155: Chapter 155 Star City Hunt

Yang Xiao returned to Kongming Academy, and Huang Wen and the others had still not returned from hunting Snow Wolves on the mountain.

”Boss, do you really believe what Bro from Star City said? I think they have plenty of food, and the place they stay is very warm too. They just don’t want to share with us.”

Long Yongjun said.

”Heh, if I actually believed him, I’d be an idiot. If they were truly short on food, would they have easily given us all those snacks from the coffee table? I bet that underground mall of his has enough food stored to last them at least a year, maybe even more. Otherwise, how could they live so comfortably in there without a hint of urgency?”

Yang Dong said with a smile, glancing at Qin Yu and Deng Xiao.

Qin Yu glared at him fiercely and said threateningly,

”If you say anything about me staying to keep him company again, I... I’ll be mad at you and ignore you.”

Pfft!

Yang Xiao chuckled,

”I was just teasing Bro from Star City. When he saw you, drool nearly dripped out. I bet he’ll be dreaming about you for the next few days.”

”Ugh, I don’t want to be part of his nightmares.”

Qin Yu said with a laugh.

”But you can still eat his stuff, right?”

Yang Xiao jokingly took out a bag of Dove chocolate beans and shook it in front of Qin Yu,

”Do you want some?”

Qin Yu snatched it away and said with a smile,

”Why not? It’d be a waste not to eat!”

Saying this, she tore open the bag and shared it with Deng Xiao and Chen Fei.

Yang Xiao handed the bag of snacks to Qin Yu and said,

”We don’t have much, and it’s not enough for everyone, so I’m giving it to you girls. It’s better than running off with someone for a cookie in the future.”

Before Qin Yu and the others could respond, Long Yongjun immediately protested:

”Boss, that’s not fair. Why can’t I have any? Those cashews tasted good, give me another handful to try.”

”Men should be raised in hardship, and women in comfort, don’t you know that?”

Deng Xiao laughed.

Long Yongjun was taken aback and retorted,

”You’re not the boss’s wives, why should he provide for you?”

Hearing this, Qin Yu and the others blushed and immediately started beating up Long Yongjun, pulling his hair, twisting his ears, pinching his arms, until Long Yongjun had to run behind Yang Xiao for help.

”Boss, save me.”

”Alright, stop it. Instead of messing around, we might as well go up the mountain to help Huang Wen and the others hunt Snow Wolves.”

Seeing there was still time, Yang Xiao led Chen Fei and the others to the nearby mountains.

Qin Yue and Deng Xiao were flying in the sky, while Yang Xiao and his group walked on the mountain path, following the tracks of Huang Wen and the others up the mountain.

There was a thick layer of snow on the mountain, but it had hardened into clumps, which prevented them from sinking deep into the snow.

After a little over an hour, Qin Yu and the other person in the sky saw a group of people in a valley in the distance. Huang Wen and the others were engaged in fierce battle with a group of Snow Wolves and immediately informed Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao and his group ran wildly and arrived just in time.

Xiao Zhe, Zhao Gang, Huang Wen, and Dai Yun, leading around a hundred Elite Soldiers, were tangled in battle with dozens of Snow Wolves. The golden Wolf King was also there, ferociously fierce. Xiao Zhe, Zhao Gang, and Dai Yun needed to work together to hold it off, while Huang Wen and the rest were fighting against twenty or thirty Snow Wolves.

When Yang Xiao joined the battle with Chen Xiao and Long Yongjun, the situation immediately turned into a one-sided crush.

Yang Xiao’s One Finger Splitting Earth sent a dozen Snow Wolves flying into the sky.

Chen Fei’s Ice Cones hit the Wolf King, making it tremble. Xiao Zhe and Zhao Gang seized the opportunity to strike simultaneously. The Wolf Claw Critical Strike and the Bear Fist hit the Wolf King, who let out a miserable howl and tumbled backward.

Dai Yun transformed into a giant Werewolf, wielding the Snow Wolf Ice Sword. He viciously hacked at the Wolf King’s forehead, bursting one of its eyes.

Amidst its mournful howls, the Wolf King desperately counterattacked, but to no avail—the genetic evolution level of the four individuals completely overpowered the Wolf King.

Long Yongjun joined Yang Xiao in the battle group encircling and attacking the Snow Wolves.

Ten minutes later, the battle ended smoothly. Apart from the three Snow Wolves that escaped, the remaining ones, including the Wolf King, were all slain.

The Wolf King dropped a piece of Snow Wolf Golden Armor, which went to Xiao Zhe, and a Snow Wolf Ice Sword, which went to Zhao Gang, while ten Enhanced Gene Discs were claimed by Dai Yun.

Additionally, the thirty Snow Wolves killed dropped thirteen pieces of Snow Wolf Armor.

Yang Xiao’s side suffered two deaths, and more than twenty people were injured.

Regarding casualties, everyone had grown accustomed. Whoever died was simply considered unlucky, and the injured quickly consumed Small Blood Pills to heal.

”Boss, we’re lucky you guys arrived just in time, or the battle could have been tough.”

Zhao Gang wiped the blood off his face.

”What about the few Snow Wolves that ran away?”

”Those three Snow Wolves are no serious threat. We’ll hunt them down some other day.”

Everyone returned in high spirits, carrying the bodies of over thirty Snow Wolves.

Yang Xiao summoned Xiao Zhe, Zhao Gang, Huang Wen, and others for a meeting to discuss hunting in Star City.

Huang Wen suddenly asked:

”Why don’t people from Star City go hunt Snow Wolves?”

Yang Xiao laughed and said:

”There’s a saying, ’Born in trouble, die in comfort.’ This couldn’t be more fitting for the people of Star City. They now have geothermal central heating for warmth, sufficient food, and they are also protected by the orange glow of the Genetic Store. Currently facing no dangers, why would they bother chasing Snow Wolves through the snow?”

”Isn’t that a good thing? Boss, why do you say they die in comfort?”

Zhao Gang asked.

”Do you think Xia Luo is stronger or weaker now than before?”

Everyone was stunned.

Xia Luo had dwindled from more than two thousand people to just seven or eight hundred. Though their number had reduced, these eight hundred were all elites, and having been tested by the harsh environment, they had naturally become much stronger.

However, the people of Star City were different. They hid in the underground marketplace, enjoying the warmth, probably not even having the courage to step out of the building now, let alone fight Snow Wolves in the cold.

Looking at Yang Xiao and his group, their growth had been rapid after this period of battling Snow Wolves in the snowy winds, with significant improvements in both overall and individual strength.

Yang Xiao even noticed that prolonged outdoor activities and genetic evolution had gradually adapted their bodies to the cold climate. This was why he insisted that those in the cave dwellings come out daily, even if not to hunt Snow Wolves. Everyone was required to walk around the training ground for half an hour to acclimate to the severe coldness.

After Yang Xiao analyzed these reasons, everyone nodded in agreement.

”When we go to Star City to hunt Snow Wolves this time, let’s avoid drawing their attention. We must use the Transmission Array at dawn and not bring back the hunted Snow Wolf bodies right away. We’ll carry back at most one or two Snow Wolves at a time and pretend to have suffered heavy casualties. We just need to get the Snow Wolf Armor first.”

Next, everyone discussed the details of the action plan.

The next morning, as soon as dawn broke, Yang Xiao led a hundred Elite Soldiers and set out.

When everyone used the Transmission Array to arrive in Star City, the whole place was dead silent, except for the lights of the Genetic Store shining in the distance, with two Iron Tower Guards at the door.

Jun Brother’s crew was nowhere to be seen, likely too cold and huddled in the underground marketplace, not on sentry duty so early.

The owner of the Genetic Store glanced up at Yang Xiao and his party coming from the Transmission Array, then continued tinkering with the genetic reagents in his hands.

Following the directions given by Wang Le the day before, Yang Xiao left the Wanxing Marketplace, and the group walked along the main street.
