Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 178: Chapter 178: This is infuriating!

The cave was dim, and when everyone woke up, it was already bright outside.

Everyone casually ate some of the dried meat they carried as breakfast and rested for a while before preparing to descend the mountain.

At this moment, Li Mei just arrived at the plateau of the peak. There were many footprints in the snow on the mountain top plateau, likely those of Yang Xiao and others, so she followed the footprints forward.

The Giant Eagle mother suddenly let out a low call, vigilantly raising her head to listen to the sounds outside the cave.

Being a Giant Eagle, its Evolution Level was currently far beyond that of Yang Xiao and the others, and its hearing was even more acute.

The Giant Eagle cried out a few times, and Yang Xiao and the others also felt that something was amiss.

At this moment, a call came from outside the cave:

”Yang Xiao, Yang Xiao, are you there?”

Li Mei stood outside the cave shouting loudly, clearly afraid to enter the dark cavern and feeling a sense of psychological fear.

Hearing the cries of the Giant Eagle inside the cave, she instinctively took a few steps back, spreading her wings, ready to fly away at any time.

”There’s actually someone outside calling for me?”

”Boss, this voice is unfamiliar, who would come up to the mountain top to call for you?”

”Let’s go out and take a look.”

Yang Xiao immediately led everyone out of the cave, and Huang Wen also slowly exited the cave with the two Giant Eagles.

Perhaps because Huang Wen had treated the young Giant Eagle, both mother and child Giant Eagles were exceptionally affectionate towards her, which made the others somewhat envious.

Yang Xiao and the others came within ten meters of the cave entrance and called out loudly:

”Who’s outside? What do you want with me?”

”I’m Li Mei from Xianan University, there’s an urgent matter to discuss with you, Xia Luo sent me.”

Hearing this, Yang Xiao felt there probably wasn’t any problem and said:

”Step back ten meters, and we’ll come out.”

Necessary caution is still required.

Li Mei retreated ten meters, and Yang Xiao led everyone to sprint out of the cave quickly.

Li Mei immediately said:

”Yang Xiao, it’s bad. Today, people from the city came saying they want to rule over Xianan University, but Xia Luo disagreed, and both sides almost came to blows.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao and the others were greatly shocked.

”What exactly is happening? Tell me in detail.”

So Li Mei briefly recounted the events of the morning.

”Xia Luo sent me to find you, hoping you could hurry back so everyone could discuss a plan together to resist the attack from the other side.”

Yang Xiao furrowed his brow, lost in thought for a moment, then said:

”Huang Wen, you and Li Zhan fly back quickly, tell Xiao Zhe and Zhao Gang that Xiao Zhe is to stay in Kongming Academy, and Zhao Gang, with 200 elites, is to immediately use the Transmission Array to Xianan University. The rest should prepare for battle,

if the opposition launches a major attack on Xianan University, then let Xiao Zhe lead the remaining 600 people through the Transmission Array to Xianan University, and join the battle with all your might, we must deliver a deadly blow in one battle and absolutely not show mercy.”

Huang Wen stroked the Giant Eagle’s neck with her hand, looking somewhat reluctant, said:

”Li Zhan, you go back first, I’ll take the Giant Eagles to the Ice River to find something to eat, then I’ll head directly to Xianan University to meet up with you.”

Yang Xiao nodded,

”Okay, Li Mei, hurry back and tell Xia Luo my thoughts, let him make full preparations for battle, absolutely no mercy. We’re likely only to get down by evening since we can’t walk that fast.”

Li Zhan and Li Mei both nodded, took to the air, and flew away.

Yang Xiao immediately led Long Yongjun, Chen Fei, and the others towards the mountain path.

”Yang Xiao,”

Huang Wen called out.

Yang Xiao stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at Huang Wen.

”Be, be careful.”

Huang Wen said, staring at Yang Xiao with lips slightly bitten.

Yang Xiao chuckled and patted Huang Wen’s shoulder, saying:

”Don’t worry, I won’t die.”

He then turned and left.

Huang Wen watched as Yang Xiao and the others descended the mountaintop platform, gently patted the Giant Eagle’s thigh, and said:

”Yingying, let’s go, I’ll take you to the glacier to find some fish to eat.”

The Giant Eagle made an ”eh” sound, spread its wings to soar up high, and followed Huang Wen down the mountain.

...

Du Tian sprinted all the way from Xianan University, despite his relatively high Evolution Level, the temperature outside was over thirty degrees below zero, and without the Snow Wolf Armor to keep warm, it was truly difficult.

Everyone was originally wearing very little, as Nanmu City’s winters used to only dip down to around minus 5 degrees at most, so there wasn’t the kind of clothing designed to prevent dozens of degrees below zero as in Tis City.

Originally, as everyone walked from the Genetic Store in the urban area to Xianan University, they spent quite a long time in the severe cold, shivering uncontrollably; now without the Snow Wolf Armor, those with lower Genetic Plan levels immediately ran into trouble.

When crossing the Kongming Bridge, people began to fall, and once someone fell into the snow, it was pretty much a lost cause.

Others dared not to help either, as everyone was racing for their lives; reaching the Genetic Store in the urban area a minute earlier meant a slightly higher chance of survival.

Du Tian and about a dozen individuals in the Primordial Gene Primary Stage ran at the forefront, everyone running while shivering.

”Fuck, when I get back, I’m going to return with my gang and slaughter them all; I want Xia Luo flayed and minced into pieces.”

Du Tian swore.

”Brother Tian, a lot of our brothers have fallen behind, what should we do?”

Someone behind him spoke.

Du Tian didn’t dare stop for a moment and said:

”There’s no way around it, blame it on bad luck. Right now, we can barely save ourselves, let alone care about those who have fallen. Hurry up, everybody.”

By the time Du Tian arrived at the Genetic Store stronghold in the Century Commercial Building, out of over a hundred people, only about twenty managed to make it back alive.

Du Tian dashed into Xie Jun’s office, and directly collapsed beside the room’s fireplace.

”Cold, freezing to death, achoo!”

Du Tian rubbed his hands, his body continuously jerking, his hair and entire body covered in ice.

Xie Jun and others looked at Du Tian bemusedly.

”Du Tian, what’s going on? Weren’t you leading people to recapture Xianan University in Hexi? Why the sudden run back?”

After finally warming himself up by the fire, Du Tian urgently said to Xie Jun:

”Brother Jun, do we have any extra Snow Wolf Armor? Give me a set quickly, I’m nearly frozen to death and barely made it back, achoo!”

Du Tian sneezed.

Xie Jun’s expression turned frosty, and he took out a piece of Snow Wolf Armor from the cabinet behind him and threw it to Du Tian.

Du Tian quickly put on the Snow Wolf Armor and finally felt a bit of relief.

”Brother, Brother Jun, I must lead people to flatten Xianan University, kill all of them, I’m so angry, I’m so fucking angry!”

Xie Jun said indifferently:

”So, you ran into trouble at Xianan University?”

”Ai, Brother Jun, let’s not talk about it, this is truly capsizing in the gutter, it’s my unlucky streak. Those milk-smelling brats didn’t submit at all, not only did they reject our rule, but they also took advantage of their numbers, snatched our firearms and weapons, and even forced us to take off our Snow Wolf Armor. We came back bare, Brother Jun, we must avenge this!”
