…
There were still 2,000 words left to write.
At the same time, with the departure of the Wolf King and his men, an important document was transmitted from the capital to every human city through a special network, as long as it was still controlled by humans, it would be received.
…
“Ka…”
The elevator slowly came to a stop. The base personnel on the side opened the door for the four wolves.
“Sir, if you walk forward from here, you will be able to walk down the mountain. You will meet our patrol team on the way. However, you don’t have to worry. The person-in-charge has already informed them in advance.”
This young base personnel guided Su Ming in the direction and informed him of various matters.
“Roar!”
Su Ming let out a low growl to show that he understood.
Then, he led his three companions and walked into the forest in the distance.
…
The forest outside the base was exceptionally quiet. The animals that used to live here either migrated voluntarily or were driven away by humans.
In order to ensure the safety of the entire base, humans would absolutely not allow any signs of life to exist here.
Even the most common sparrows were nowhere to be seen. Only when a gentle breeze blew through the forest would it make a rustling sound.
Su Ming remained silent and continued to lead the team forward, wanting to pass through this silent forest.
Suddenly, a slight sound entered his ears.
“Kacha…”
It was like the sound of a tree branch gently rubbing against each other, or the sound of a gentle breeze blowing through the treetops. It appeared so calm and natural.
However, to Su Ming, who had sharp senses, it was clearly the sound of a creature nearby.
He gradually stopped and released his pressure. It spread out in all directions. As expected, he sensed five blurry figures.
They were hiding above the tree branches. With the advantage of the environment, they were able to avoid Su Ming’s first round of detection.
“Lord Wolf King, Please Show Mercy.”
A heavy young man’s voice came from the front left of Su Ming, followed by a large number of climbing sounds and footsteps.
As the sound got closer, a group of humans wearing special camouflage clothes slowly walked out of the forest.
The leader put down his gun and let it hang in front of his chest. He raised his hands, showing that he had no malicious intent.
“Your Excellency, we are the forest patrol team. We are ordered to guard this area and prevent any creatures from approaching. We are not specifically targeting you and your companions.”
Seeing the Wolf King’s vigilant expression, the young man took the initiative to explain.
Combined with the information that the base staff had given him, Su Ming had a general belief in their identities. He slowly withdrew the pressure that belonged to himself into his body.
When they felt the pressure that was suspended above their heads disappear, the five members, including the young man, heaved a sigh of relief.
They were afraid that this wolf king would suddenly rise up and kill the members that they thought were enemies.
Fortunately, just as manager Xu had said, the other party was still very reasonable.
“Thank you, sir.”
The young man thanked him.
Then, as if he had thought of something, he asked the wolf king, “Are you going to Chang Zhuang village? If you follow this route all the way down the mountain, that should be the first village you meet.”
Seeing the Wolf King nod, the young man was confident and continued to speak.
“That area belongs to the outer area of the capital city. However, with our base personnel and the patrol team from the army, it shouldn’t be a problem. The area in the future might not be safe. As you know, mutated creatures are now growing explosively. Basically, apart from the city area, there are traces of them everywhere.”
The young man explained the situation in China to Su Ming, giving him an idea of the situation outside the capital city.
Su Ming nodded thoughtfully, expressing his understanding.
It seemed that China was not peaceful. However, he had not been in the mutated area during this period of time. He had been staying in a safe area like the capital city, so he could not feel it.
After some exchanges, the patrol team didn’t bother the wolf pack anymore. They tactfully returned to the forest and began their original patrol mission.
Moreover, it was impossible for them to be exposed all the time. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to patrol at all.
With the young patrol team’s reminder, Su Ming also realized the first place to arrive.
He quickened his pace and pulled the team’s speed. He wanted to completely leave the area of the capital city and arrive at a brand new area within today.
The area of this forest was not considered large. Without much effort, Su Ming and the Wolves walked out from the inside and arrived at a grassland.
The terrain here was no longer as flat as before. Instead, it was gradually descending, showing a downward trend.
It was obvious that the Wolf Pack had already arrived at the lower middle part of the mountain range. They would be able to leave the mountain range after walking a few dozen steps forward.
Due to the steep terrain here, Su Ming slightly slowed down the speed of the team to prevent any accidents from happening.
The downhill part of the mountain was still very quiet. Other than the wolf pack, there were only the occasional wild rabbits.
This place was still a part of the capital. Any threatening creatures would naturally be eliminated.
The four wolves were unmoved when they saw the fat and tender body of the hares. Firstly, the terrain here was not suitable for hunting. Secondly, the wolf pack had just eaten in the morning, so they did not need any extra food to replenish their strength.
Ignoring the hares that continued to appear in their line of sight, Su Ming led his pack and steadily walked down.
After flipping through the scattered rocks and dried branches, the group of four wolves finally arrived at the bottom of the mountain range after ten minutes or so.
They saw a dense forest. When they stood on the high ground, they could vaguely see the end of the forest. It was the village that the young inspector had mentioned.
Without a doubt, that was the border of the capital city region. It could also be said that it was a sentry tower used for early warning.
Without hesitation, Su Ming looked at the three wolves beside him and entered the forest.
As the Wolf Pack went deeper, the number of animals in the surroundings gradually increased.
Rabbits, sparrows, pheasants, red deer, and all kinds of small and medium-sized herbivores gradually appeared in the sight of the wolf pack.
Even so, Su Ming still did not see any predators. Even the smallest Pallas’s cat had yet to be found.
It was clear that in this forest, any aggressive creatures that posed a threat had been chased away or taken care of by humans.
The huge body of the four wolves and the ferocious aura they gave off caused this forest to no longer be so calm.
All the herbivores followed the warning from the depths of their bloodlines and frantically left the vicinity of the wolf pack so that they would not be caught by the other party.
In front of the giant wolf that had the strength of a king, even if it had the strength of an elite, it would be useless.
Completely ignoring the figures of these creatures, the wolf pack, under Su Ming’s lead, ran forward.
…
Chang village.
“Bang! !”
Several sounds of running could be heard from the forest in the distance.
“Huh! ?”
This could not help but make the soldiers on duty feel a little strange. Why was the forest so lively today.
“Captain, what’s the situation?”
A somewhat vigilant recruit asked the veteran soldier in the lead.
“Who knows? Maybe those deer herds have moved their territory again. Kid, don’t be too paranoid.”
Despite the worry in his heart, the veteran soldier still opened his mouth to comfort the other party.
“I hope so. I always feel obedient. After all, we’ve been on duty for so long, this is the first time we’ve seen such a situation.”
However, before the old soldier could finish his sentence, an even louder noise came from the forest again.
After saying his final farewell to the Wolf King, Xu Lin sent the wolf pack from his office to the lift at the airport.
After watching the four wolves slowly climb up on the lift until they were completely out of sight, Xu Lin turned around and left, returning to his work.
