But Big Dog was too shy. He hemmed and hawed, and in the end, the hug never happened, because a pack of mutated hyenas appeared outside and chased after their vehicle.
They even tried to bite the tires.
Bai Shu opened the sunroof and popped up to snipe a few of them, but they kept chasing relentlessly.
Chen Xiaofei jumped. "What are hyenas doing here?!"
The mutation had made them bigger, with vicious faces. Their bodies, high in front and low in back, looked downright sleazy.
Qin Luo immediately vaulted into the middle row and began helping kill the mutated hyenas.

Wang Weihu replied immediately, "Pull over first and report your position. Have the squads behind you help clear out the hyenas, then change the tire once things are under control."
The Flame Squad hurriedly reported their position. As it happened, they were the vehicle ahead of Team 3A.
Chen Xiaofei checked and said, "All right, sit tight. We're two kilometers behind you. Team 3A should be there in about ten minutes."
The Flame Squad heaved a sigh of relief. Team 3A was currently everyone's source of reassurance. "Flame Squad copies. We've pulled over."
Wang Weihu acknowledged them and accelerated, the bitter wind howling around them.

Taking turns attacking, Bai Shu and Qin Luo successfully wiped out the mutated hyenas. Fiery red bloomed across the snow, quickly attracting the mutated birds circling overhead.
The two hurried back down through the sunroof and closed it
