"But... but they just stood by and watched someone die without offering any help."
Another person quickly said, "What's the rush? The mutated wolves will attack in the middle of the night; none of us will escape. If they don't let us have an easy time, they won't have one either."
The man wanted to say something, but when he met Captain Wang Qiang's gaze, he obediently shut his mouth and quickly went to his night shift.
Inside the carriage, Sang Luoluo opened her eyes, then slowly closed them again. Honestly, she didn't even try to hide her badmouthing of others.
Tsk tsk.
Sang Luoluo had absolutely no intention of helping someone like that.
Several more mutated animals arrived one after another, and the frequency gradually increased. For He Fei, taking them down one by one with a single shot was no problem at all. As long as they got within range of their armored vehicle, he could easily take them out. As for Wang Qiang and his group next to them, he couldn't care less about them.
These mutated animals don't seem threatening, but they're incredibly annoying. Based on his experience, the small mutated animals that had been frequently coming over earlier were probably deliberately driven over by mutated wolves from deep in the forest, just to wear down the human team's energy. They would keep bothering them from the first half of the night until the second half, and then launch a group attack once the humans' energy was depleted, which would be much easier.
He Fei has extensive experience in the wild, and this isn't the first time he's encountered such trouble. Moreover, they are now well-equipped with weapons, armored vehicles, and powerful teammates, so they are confident they can handle all the mutated wolves.
Unable to resist yawning, Chuanchuan half-stood up again and let out a whimpering warning in two directions, alerting those directions that mutated animals were approaching. This time, however, the sound was louder and the warning was more intense.
He Fei stroked Chuanchuan's head, but it didn't lie down as before. Instead, its whimpering grew louder and louder, and when the mutated animals got closer, it started barking wildly.
Sang Luoluo was startled awake by the sound, as were the others.
They all got up.
Qi Feng warned everyone to be on alert, as something was wrong outside; these weren't ordinary mutated animals.
He Fei also warned, "It looks like mutated wolves are coming."
At this moment, the mutated wolf was still 300 meters away.
However, the mutated wolves 300 meters away had already heard the Chuanchuan of howls inside the carriage. The sounds were provocative, and the mutated wolves in the distance were howling at the sky, not willing to be outdone.
They even accelerated and rushed towards this side.
Sang Luoluo spread her senses and noticed that the mutated wolves had moved from all sides into a 300-meter radius.
He then reminded everyone, "Three hundred meters."
Everyone has already picked up their Crystal Core and has no intention of going out.
Wang Qiang and his group, who were not far from their car, first heard the barking of dogs, then the howling of wolves, and immediately felt a chill run down their spines, with an ominous premonition.
Wang Qiang instinctively sensed danger and quickly told his brothers to prepare for battle. It was pitch black all around, and apart from the light from the campfire in front of them, they could not see anything else.
"Let's go to the armored vehicles."
"Go knock on the door. If we can get on the bus, we'll be able to avoid this situation. If they don't let us on, then we won't be polite."
When they were about 7 meters away from the armored vehicle, Sang Luoluo used her Mental Power to aim 10 Crystal Core at them and fired a shot right in front of their feet.
Qi Feng used the car's built-in loudspeaker to say, "Don't come any closer. If you go any further, we'll open fire."
Wang Qiang was seething with hatred and roared, "You can't just stand by and watch someone die!"
Qi Feng continued, "We didn't abandon you to your deaths. We're all up and preparing to deal with the mutated animals. I'm warning you, don't come any closer, or we won't be responsible if you get accidentally hit by the armored vehicle's guns."
"You... you guys are all teammates from the same base, all here to clear out the mutated animals for the base. Even if you're on the opposing side, you can't just stand by and watch us die."
As they were speaking, the mutated wolves behind them charged forward, rushing towards Wang Qiang and his companions.
Sang Luoluo suddenly turned the ten Crystal Core she had set up in the air around and aimed them at the mutated wolves behind her. She fired dozens of shots in quick succession, taking down more than a dozen mutated wolves. Sang Luoluo only fired when the wolves were within fifty meters of her, so that she wouldn't have to run so far to collect the Crystal Core and corpses.
If she could, she would prefer to keep the mutated wolf closer.
"So what? We're helping you. Captain Wang, don't be so narrow-minded. Those mutated wolves were coming for you, weren't they? Now that we've taken care of them for you, you don't even thank us? Do you really think we can't see that we deliberately lured them here?" Qi Feng's last words were anything but polite.
Sang Luoluo silently turned the Crystal Core around again. When the mutated wolves got closer, she fired continuously within a 50-meter range, ensuring that none of the mutated wolves that entered this range could escape.
There were many mutated wolves, some of which were still guarding the perimeter, preparing to launch a follow-up attack. After the first wave of mutated wolves was killed, the remaining mutated wolves began to lie in wait, looking for an opportunity to attack.
Having dealt with the first wave of mutated wolves, no one was in the mood for sleep anymore, so they simply sat up and waited for the mutated wolves to attack.
Wang Qiang and his group outside had lost their initial arrogance, though they still harbored some resentment. They had underestimated the strength of the Sang Family's team. The fact that they had dealt with the mutated wolves' attack so easily at night was not entirely due to the armored vehicles. The mental-type evolvers in their team could even manipulate Crystal Core out of thin air, which was simply too incredible.
Thankfully, they didn't try to kill them in secret, otherwise they would have been the first to die.
With his life saved, Wang Qiang remembered their earlier conversation and wanted to apologize to improve their impression of him, but he didn't know how to say it.
I just sat down to rest for a while.
The dog in the carriage started barking again.
Chuanchuan immediately noticed the movements of the mutated wolves outside. As they moved forward, Chuanchuan barked to alert them.
The mutated wolves guarding outside, preparing to attack, weren't fools. Having learned their lesson once, they knew to some extent that there was a dog among the crowd on the other side, its provocation palpable.
However, the mutated wolves were very vengeful. As dawn approached in the latter half of the night, they launched another attack from all directions. This time, there were more of them than before, as they wanted to gain an advantage in numbers.
After being reminded by Chuanchuan.
Sang Luoluo shared the progress with everyone.
Three hundred meters.
One hundred meters.
Gunfire erupted from the Crystal Core.
Wang Qiang and his men were on guard the moment the dogs barked, and of course they didn't dare get too close to the car. Sang Luoluo really could shoot, and this time, the unease intensified as they heard the howling of wolves outside.
When Sang Luoluo within fifty meters of the mutated wolf, ten Crystal Core opened fire simultaneously, firing continuously with ample firepower. The others in the carriage each guarded several directions.
Sang Luoluo's side was dealt with very easily. He Fei in one direction, Qi Feng went in another, and Qi Xue and Lei Qi went in the third. The mutated wolves within a fifty-meter radius fell down one after another. The closest ones died less than ten meters away from the car.
Wang Qiang and his team were no pushovers either. With the firepower support of Sang Luoluo's group, they were able to barely defend themselves and take out the mutated wolves before they could pounce on them.
However, the mutated wolves have learned their lesson this time; this is just the appetizer, and there are many more mutated wolves to come.
Upon hearing the commotion, Wang Qiang immediately gave the order, "Get up the tree!"
They had ropes prepared beforehand around their waists, and with a strong pull, they rose several meters higher and climbed up the tree trunk beside them.
As soon as they left the ground, nearly twenty mutated wolves gathered where they had been standing. The mutated wolves had already seen the people in the tree, but they were just a little short of being able to bite them.
Moreover, at this moment, Sang Luoluo and the others did not want to let these mutated wolves go. The Crystal Core fired a barrage of shots, and the mutated wolves gathered under the tree could not even run away before they were all killed by the Crystal Core.
Some of the mutated wolves, taking advantage of their companions holding off the fire, rushed toward the armored vehicle at top speed. They were extremely intelligent and realized that the humans inside the armored vehicle posed the greatest threat to their companions, so they had to deal with the people inside first.
But the next moment, before they could pounce on the car, all the mutated wolves within twenty meters suddenly disappeared from their original spot. Sang Luoluo continued to use her Crystal Core to kill the mutated wolves that pounced from other directions. Anyone that entered the range of her Mental Power was pulled into her space and killed.
Throughout the entire process, Qi Feng and his team only fired shots; they had no opportunity to demonstrate their abilities and were essentially unnecessary to them.
A few minutes later, no more mutated wolves came by. With dawn approaching, no one felt like sleeping anymore. Sang Luoluo took out a bunch of canned food and said, "Let's eat breakfast first. After that, we'll go down and collect the corpses. We can't let them get away with this."
Moreover, they planned to leave after eating, shaking off the group behind them. They felt it would be inconvenient to even fight back if they were followed.
Sang Luoluo ate the canned food heartily, thinking that the homemade canned food tasted pretty good. After finishing, she ate a big apple before finally going to put on her anti-radiation suit, feeling satisfied.
It's a bit of a pity. "If they hadn't come with us, we could have planted mushrooms tonight."
Qi Xue said, "It's not bad now. If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have encountered so many mutated wolves. They must have a lot of Crystal Core inside them."
Sang Luoluo thought it made sense; after all, she had gained something from the night.
