Chapter 46 Wolves
Time passed quickly. Li Kan asked Meng Xingchen to take a rest while he would keep watch. However, Meng Xingchen was not sleepy at all. He sat by the fire for a while, then got up and walked around, making noises on purpose, and even urinated in a dark corner of the woods.

As for Ye Zihong, after the sniper hid her position, she could not be seen at all. If Meng Xingchen had not called and asked twice, he would have thought that this person was lost.

Li Kan was very used to this. While eating and drinking, he occasionally weighed the thick rebar beside him and muttered, "It's too light."

"For the time being, we mainly rely on guns." Meng Xingchen came to sit next to Li Kan, "Li Kan, if you encounter some mutant wolfhounds, if conditions permit, try to hit their legs and bodies, cripple them, restrict their movements, and let me kill them in the end."

After a brief pause, he continued to Ye Zihong, "Sister Hong, it's the same on your side."

"Okay, Brother Meng." Li Kan didn't even ask why, he just nodded and agreed.

"Why?" Ye Zihong, who had been hiding in the sniper position, couldn't help but ask a question into the intercom.

Meng Xingchen smiled and said, "Kill with cold weapons to practice your evil spirit!"

"...Okay." Ye Zihong was silent for a moment, then agreed.

Meng Xingchen's statement was a bit strange, but she didn't want to ask more questions and focused on her main guard duty.

"Li Kan, if you are free tomorrow, I will make you a cold weapon." Meng Xingchen asked Li Kan, "What do you plan to use as your main weapon in the future?"

Li Kan thought about it, touched the thick rebar beside him, and then said, "Brother Meng, I think the stick is good, but we need to make a heavier one."

"A heavier and blunt weapon, how about a mace?" Meng Xingchen said with a smile.

The powerful bear Li Kan of later generations used a "giant mace" and served as the main attacker when hunting the "Lord-level Iron Armored Dragon" with his good friend "Shadow Knife Wang Tong".

"Mace?" Li Kan's eyes lit up.

But after a moment, he scratched his head again, "Brother Meng, that thing is too eye-catching! It's inconvenient to carry it with you when you go out."

"Don't worry about whether it's eye-catching or not." Meng Xingchen smiled as he leaned against the steel gun that was standing upright behind him and stuck into the ground. "As long as you think it's handy, it's fine. If not, I'll go see someone tomorrow and make one for me."

"It's 'tomorrow' already." Ye Zihong couldn't help but speak again, "You two should be alert! Don't just chat. There are too many places to hide in the forest. Don't just rely on me to be on guard."

"Okay." Meng Xingchen straightened up and looked down at his watch.

In the afternoon, he asked Ye Zihong to buy three watches so that he could keep track of time during the battle.

The "communication watch" of later generations is a must-have equipment for warriors to explore the wild, and it has powerful functions. However, now, these things have definitely not been developed yet.

Thinking of this, a name popped up in Meng Xingchen's mind, "Kro-Desenna."

The "magic weapon" that later generations of humans truly developed was invented by Kro.

Using the "blue gold metal" found on the moon, mixed with monster materials, "Kro alloy" was created.

The hardness of Kro alloy has grades from 1 to 10.

The hardness of Grade 2 Kro alloy is already the same as that of diamond.

There are very few records of Earth’s scientific and technological talents in the Devouring Star, and Kro-Desenna is undoubtedly the most important one.

But it’s too early to consider this now.

It is still unknown when humans on Earth will be able to discover blue gold metal on the moon.

Meng Xingchen currently does not have the ability to investigate the existence of a person around the world.

"Be alert!" At this moment, Ye Zihong's voice suddenly came from the communication headset, "Something's going on!"

"Huh!" Li Kan stood up suddenly.

"Behind you two, at the 11 o'clock direction, about a hundred meters away, there is an unidentified creature approaching." Ye Zihong said quickly.

"Li Kan, sit down." After listening to the report, Meng Xingchen held the submachine gun in his hand and whispered to Li Kan, "Gun alert, follow my orders."

"Yeah." Li Kan agreed with his body tense. He put down the rebar in his right hand, held the submachine gun, and slowly sat down again.

At the same time, Meng Xingchen also concentrated his mind and maximized the acuity of his five senses and six consciousnesses.

The distance was obviously too far, and apart from vaguely smelling a faint fishy odor in the air, he didn't notice anything else.

However, just a dozen seconds later, he heard a very slight sound of grass branches breaking in the distance behind him.

"About 60 meters! There's a shooting opportunity! Do you want to shoot?" Ye Zihong's voice also sounded quickly.

"Don't shoot." Meng Xingchen also whispered, "Keep an eye on it!"

"50 meters! Approaching the open area! Stop! It's hesitating..."

Ye Zihong reported the situation continuously.

"Li Kan, cover me." Meng Xingchen hung the submachine gun around his neck, stood up and picked up the flowerpot containing the mutant red fruit tree.

"Yeah." Li Kan responded in a low voice, and slightly turned sideways, ready to turn around and shoot at any time.

Ye Zihong's reports basically never stopped.

"It's about 1.4 meters tall and 2.3 meters long. It's moving... I've confirmed it's a mutant wolfhound! It's still hesitating. If we have a chance to shoot it, we can either kill it with one shot or cripple it with one shot..."

Meng Xingchen listened to the report in the headphones, and raised the flowerpot in his hand a little higher, as if reflecting the firelight, observing the mutated red fruits on it.

"Retreat... It's retreating. Should we shoot?" As Meng Xingchen raised the mutant red fruit tree, Ye Zihong's report showed that it was the mutant wolfhound that was retreating.

"Let it go." Meng Xingchen hesitated for a second, but finally gave the order.

"There is a small hill blocking the 60m...70m...120m position. This is the last chance to shoot." Ye Zihong was still reporting the situation in a low voice.

The mutant wolfhounds retreated quickly.

About half a minute later, Ye Zihong reported that the mutant wolfhound retreated to the back of the small hill, then turned around and accelerated, disappearing into the depths of the dense forest.

"Xingchen, do you want to catch big fish?" Ye Zihong asked again in a low voice after the mutant wolfhound completely disappeared.

"Yes." Meng Xingchen nodded and put down the mutant red fruit tree again. "It's useless to kill one by sniping... Sister Hong, continue to be highly alert."

"Yes." Ye Zihong agreed and then became quiet again.

Li Kan could also hear Ye Zihong talking, and at this moment he whispered to Meng Xingchen, "Brother Meng, you also go hide over there with Sister Hong, I'll just lure the enemy here!"

"No need." Meng Xingchen said, "Just stay natural and pretend we didn't find anything."

"Okay." Li Kan agreed and turned his head to check again. There was a whole box of full spare magazines for submachine guns, four spare submachine rifles, and four spare pistols on the ground.

This time they were extremely well prepared. It didn't matter whether the weapons provided by the special operations team were actually used or not.

The process that followed was a bit painful.

About half an hour later, Meng Xingchen looked at his watch and it was already two o'clock in the morning.

During this half hour or so, Ye Zihong seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth and did not utter a single word.

After another seven or eight minutes, Ye Zihong suddenly spoke, "Here they come! In the direction they evacuated before, five... eight... nineteen... they should all be out! They've spread out... and attacked from three sides! At 12 o'clock, 10 o'clock, and 2 o'clock... The sniper target is in disarray, locked at a height of two meters and three meters. 'It's suspected to be the Wolf King!'

The wolves stop! Eight at the back, six on the left, five on the right! Distance 50-80 meters! Lock on the wolf king, the shooting angle is good, we can cripple it! Shoot at any time..."

At the end, Ye Zihong's voice was clearly filled with a high degree of nervousness.

A pack of 19 mutant wolfhounds was only 50-80 meters away from Meng Xingchen and Li Kan. This was extremely stressful for a sniper like her.

However, Meng Xingchen, who was in the clearing in the forest, did not give the order to shoot.

Ye Zihong had no choice but to continue reporting.

"The wolves are stopping! They are observing you. The biggest wolf has moved... and retreated... The wolves on the left are making a commotion! They are retreating again..."

Ye Zihong felt a little uncomfortable as her teammates were surrounded but she never received the order to shoot. She could only keep reporting the latest situation.

One minute,

two minutes,
Three minutes passed, and the wolves and the two surrounded humans were strangely stuck in a stalemate.

Meng Xingchen reached out, picked a red fruit from the mutated red fruit tree, put it in his mouth, and started chewing it with a crunching sound.
