……

4.7 kilometers outside the advance team's camp.

As darkness fell, visibility on the ice field decreased rapidly.

The biting wind, whipping up snowflakes, howled like ghosts, easily drowning out the roar of the construction vehicles.

"Lula lula le... Lula lula le, bravely move forward, there are prizes for moving forward, I want to be number one, I want to fly a plane, I want a TV, I want a CD player, I want an MP3 player, I want ice cream, I want RMB... Smart, brave, strong, I really envy myself..."

While humming a battle song that was just right for his age, Ming Yufei pressed the control lever and pushed a shovel of snow to the designated area.

The construction machinery was very efficient, and the soldiers worked very quickly. Some important areas were only required to be cleaned for three kilometers, but here the standard was exceeded.

So what if it exceeds the standard? Nobody will complain; in fact, people might even want to produce more.

"I'll search high and low for ways to lose weight..."

"Fuck-"

A piercing electrical hum suddenly erupted from the communicator.

"Attention all units! Attention all units! Abandon current missions and return to camp immediately!"

The sound from the channel was a bit distorted, carrying an undisguised anxiety.

"Repeat! Return to camp immediately!"

Ming Yufei felt a chill run down his spine. He didn't have time to sing anymore. He immediately put the gun around his neck and then pushed the control lever hard.

The heavy vehicle made a protesting creak and clumsily but quickly turned around.

Almost at the same time.

"Ouch——!"

A long, drawn-out howl that seemed to tear eardrums pierced through the wind and snow!

Then came the second sound, the third sound...

The howls of wolves echoed from the direction of the lake not far from Mingyufei, rising and falling in waves, as if the icy forest behind them had come to life and turned into a ravenous beast ready to devour its prey.

"A pack of wolves?"

Ming Yufei's scalp tingled instantly!

He was on a high point on a hillside. Due to geological reasons, there were few trees around him. Looking down from his vantage point, he couldn't help but look out the porthole at the distant forest.

In the snowy forest, a large number of gray-white figures gradually gathered into a sea and surged towards this place!

"Did you take your medicine? You were so fast!"

Ming Yufei's pupils suddenly contracted, and without the slightest hesitation, he slammed the accelerator to the floor!
The engineering vehicle roared and sped toward the camp at an unprecedented speed.

Huff puff puff...

The engineers drove back to camp, and the soldiers in each unit began to remove the snow covers from their weapons, tighten the safety pins, and wait for the enemy to attack.

High in the sky, several crows flapped their wings and hid in the dense forest in the distance.

The Eagle UAVs urgently transferred from other places and the Pufferfish UAVs loaded with air-to-ground weapons also roared into the air.

More reconnaissance footage was immediately transmitted to the giant screen in the camp command center.

On the screen, the snow-white world of ice and snow was rendered in black and white by thermal imaging.

More than a hundred white, glowing objects radiating intense heat are moving at high speed toward us.

The camera zooms in, and the soldiers in the command post watch silently.

Those were a pack of wolves from another world, a terrifying group of creatures far larger than those on Earth!
The wolf pack numbered over a hundred, was extremely fast, and was about the size of a modern calf!
The shortest wolf pack members are 1.3 meters tall at the shoulder, while the tallest are 1.6 meters tall. They have strong and agile limbs and can run and jump extremely fast.

Infrared images show that only the head and mouth area of ​​the wolves show infrared activity, which fully demonstrates the warmth of their fur.

"Wow, they're so tall! Unbelievable, these guys are so fast, at least... 75 kilometers per hour!"

“Hey, they must be hunting. Point the camera at the creature they’re chasing.”

As the drone adjusted its angle, another group of even more panicked bioluminescent dots were gradually driven to the vicinity of the frozen lake.

That must be a herd of reindeer with grayish-white fur.

They are enormous, with the tallest reaching 1.8 meters. With their massive crests, they can grow to a staggering 2.5 meters.

However, being chased by so many wolves, they lost all their valor and were now in a panic, fleeing for their lives.

What's most surprising is that the intelligence of deer is incomparable to that of wolves.

Some of the deer tried to run towards the nearby area, but were quickly driven back by the wolves scattered around.

As the deer were driven to the lake, they had no way to retreat. The panicked cries of twenty deer echoed as they were driven by the giant wolf near the frozen lake, leaving behind a trail of chaotic hoofprints.

Some reindeer are very bold and will jump directly into the lake.

But after running a few steps, he fell into the lake and, after struggling for a moment, disappeared completely.

Despite the temperature being nearly -40 degrees Celsius, this lake showed no signs of being frozen for an extended period.

A stag, unwilling to die, cried out twice and then charged at the wolves that had surrounded them, preparing to attack them in two groups.

The wolves were cunning and coordinated perfectly. The buck that dared to charge back was bitten on the rump and neck by several wolves. Its sharp crest could not pierce the cunning wolves, and its tall body was soon swallowed up by the gray-white color.

As blood splattered, the buck died on the spot.

A primitive and bloody hunt was vividly presented to all human warriors through modern technology.

The wolves' teamwork was flawless.

Each of them performed its own task. After surrounding their prey, they did not rush in all at once, but instead split into several small teams to flank from both sides, like two sharp scissors precisely cutting through the deer herd's formation.

A lone stag, separated from its prey, brandished its massive antlers, which gleamed coldly in an attempt to frighten the greedy giant wolf.

A giant wolf retreated, but suddenly an unpleasant wolf howl rang out from behind it.

The five giant wolves immediately stopped retreating and applied maximum pressure, forcing the stag into a deadly situation.

The two giant wolves howled and launched a feint attack from the reindeer's frontal view, drawing the stag's full attention.

At the same moment, the other giant wolves pounced from the side and rear, their sharp fangs instantly tearing apart the stag's throat and hind legs!
Blood gushed out, turning the snow into a glaring crimson.

The stag fell with a mournful cry, struggled, and was then completely bitten to death on the spot.

This hunt was originally quite commonplace to humans, who would have considered it a real-life version of the animal kingdom.

But everyone stopped attacking after seeing the wolves tear the reindeer's head apart.

Then the wolf pack began to attack other targets.

Decisive, efficient, and effective.

The hunting intelligence displayed by these creatures made the atmosphere in the command center even more tense.

The panicked deer herd was driven away, and some reindeer rushed into the wide lake that seemed to be frozen, then struggled and fell into the water.

A giant wolf perched on a boulder, giving commands, howled, and the rest of the pack began to increase the frequency of their attacks.

The more than twenty giant deer that were being chased were surrounded and set on fire one after another.

When it seemed that the few fawns were about to be killed, the alpha wolf howled, and the fawns were driven away by the pack and released.

The other adult deer were either torn apart or fell into the lake.

"With perfect coordination, swift action, and highly efficient attacks, they could easily be mistaken for an army!"

"Why don't they attack the fleeing fawn? Do they feed it to the wolves? The wolf pack is very intelligent!"

Why do they always tear off the head of the deer after killing it?

Su Mingjin frowned and asked.

Canines have a clear hierarchy, with the alpha wolf usually being the first to eat the prey. Most wolf packs prefer to feed from the soft belly and rump of their prey.

Those highly intelligent and well-coordinated wolf packs tearing apart the heads of their prey shouldn't be wasting their efforts, right?
What drives them to twist off the heads of their prey, deer, before eating them?
"Undead! Yes, those guys can still move, but their attack power is greatly reduced if they lose their heads. Their undead bodies will wander around like headless flies. Do they know about the undead threat?"

An operations staff officer stared intently at the wolf pack feasting on the screen, his Adam's apple bobbing as he couldn't help but speak.

"Commander Su, I request permission to dispatch a small team now to try to capture one or two alive as specimens."

The value of these living organisms is immeasurable.

"turn down."

Su Mingjin shook her head, her gaze shifting back and forth between the pack of wolves on the screen and the scattered deer shadows fleeing into the darkness on another screen.

"Night is coming soon, and the undead from the other world will probably become active again. It's too dangerous to act now; daytime is when we should be active."

Su Mingjin turned to the aircraft operator: "I remember that in order to facilitate scientific research and reduce the risk of research teams reaching dangerous areas, the design team seems to have installed robotic arms on some drones, right?"

"Yes, Commander Su, we have these drones."

"Send drones to collect some specimens; those should be enough for scientists to study."

"it is good!"

The drone reconnaissance team accelerated the installation of low-power servo mechanical data acquisition on the drones.

Meanwhile, Su Mingjin and the soldiers kept an eye on the hunting grounds, gathering more information.
