Chapter 34 Waiting for the enemy to fall into the trap! (Please read, add to your favorites, and vote!)
Watching the wolves feast, Su Mingjin tapped her long, slender knuckles lightly on the control panel, producing a dull sound.

"Once the wolf pack has eaten and drunk its fill, it will definitely return to its den. The Eagle drone will switch to silent tracking mode. Lock onto the den, and then try to capture it again tomorrow."

"The drones equipped with robotic arms, modified by the technical department, are taking off quickly. They are perfect for data collection in hazardous environments."

"understand!"

Visibility was too low and the danger too great under the snowstorm; the information they had gathered over the past two days was far too scarce.

Such a large wolf pack requires a huge food chain to sustain their survival, so there must be places nearby with abundant animal resources.

Finding a wolf den means finding a large amount of material for animal research.

Those wolves were so large that scientists considered them to be high-value targets.

Some foodies even came up with numerous benefits such as "fragrant meat hot pot", "nourishing yin and strengthening yang", and "wolf meat for strengthening the body".

Under human surveillance, the wolf pack did not continue feeding for long.

As the last glimmer of light on the horizon was swallowed by darkness, the alpha wolf, its fur mostly snow-white, stood atop the boulder, its eyes fixed on the drone in the sky.

After the drone had been hovering for more than five minutes without leaving, the alpha wolf suddenly looked up and let out a short, deep roar.

oooo~~~
The howl sounded like a military command from the wolf pack, and the giant wolf, which was tearing flesh apart, stopped abruptly.

Their scarlet tongues licked away the blood from their mouths, and the wildness and ferocity in their eyes quickly faded. Then, the giant wolves worked together to easily tear off large chunks of deer meat and carried them in their mouths.

The rest of the wolf pack quickly dispersed and left the area.

One team led the way, another protected their companions carrying food in the middle, and the last team cautiously brought up the rear.

They move silently, in perfect formation, and with excellent teamwork.

This is almost identical to the military moving supplies!

The alpha wolf looked at the strange bird making a buzzing sound in the sky, bared its teeth, and then ran into the dense forest.

As Su Mingjin watched the footage transmitted back by the drone, her pupils contracted.

She suddenly realized what she had overlooked.

There are so few living creatures here, probably because of the undead that roam the night.

This wolf pack is so intelligent and disciplined; they probably also know quite a bit about undead creatures...

Su Mingjin suddenly had the idea of ​​communicating with the wolf pack.

"What are you thinking? No matter how smart wolves are, they can't communicate smoothly with humans."

"It's probably the harsh environment and the survival wisdom of the group that make them look so intelligent."

The intelligence displayed by wolf packs on the icy plains far exceeds everyone's comprehension!
Many of the warriors who stayed here speculated whether other animals in the other world also possessed high intelligence.

Some soldiers even had extremely unconventional ideas, saying that it would be great to catch such a big wolf as a pet.

Fortunately, the topic was quickly steered back on track.

Following the wolf pack should help humans learn more about the other world.

On Earth, wolf packs have territorial ranges of over 100 kilometers, with hunting ranges of up to 30 kilometers.

Since this is the other party's activity area, and there are so few animal communities nearby, could it be related to the undead?
The longer you stay in this other world, the more intriguing clues you'll find.

As darkness fell, heavy snow and strong winds returned to the camp, further reducing human visibility and combat capabilities due to the blizzard carrying strong electromagnetic interference...

Before the snowstorm arrived, humans launched specimen-collecting drones brought from modern times to collect the small amount of carcasses, fur, and bloodstains left behind by the wolf pack during their hunt for the reindeer herd. These were then sent to Li Xiang and Deng Dakang for analysis and research.

Upon hearing that they were living specimens from another world, and that none of them had been dead for long, Li Xiang and the others immediately perked up.

I guess I'll be working overtime again tonight.

The drones deployed to track the wolf pack gradually lost signal as the wind and snow intensified.

The drone's laser communication link became completely ineffective due to the dense wind and snow. Humans could only rely on directional signal boosters to transmit information.

But this signal wasn't very reliable! Fortunately, the military drone was quite reliable and managed to monitor the general direction of more than a hundred wolves that were rapidly retreating, even in the extreme weather.

The wolf pack being tracked moved faster and faster, reaching a terrifying speed of 75 kilometers per hour when chasing prey in the snowfield, and even when retreating, the speed was more than 40 kilometers per hour.

If an unarmed person encounters these guys, there is absolutely no chance of survival.

"President Su, the drone signal is weakening to the point where it can't hold on any longer!"

Seeing the information transmitted back by the drone turn into images and the warning sounds continuing, Su Mingjin knew that she had no choice but to recall the drone.

"Withdraw the drones first, and mark this area. Let's shift our defensive focus to the camp."

"Ok!"

As darkness fell, the area of ​​human activity decreased significantly. Apart from the outposts ensuring the safety of the camp and the drones hovering in the sky, soldiers in other areas had already returned.

Because the advance team did not have a peaceful night on the first day, many of the soldiers who had not yet returned to the modern world were somewhat excited on the second night.

During the daytime battle debriefing, many warriors suggested capturing some large undead bosses for research.

Some soldiers even joked with their comrades about treating the undead, who were suspected of possessing perpetual energy, as sustainable biological resources, and manipulating them to pull millstones, use them as vehicles, and other outrageous operations.

Some people even came up with wild ideas, joking that it would be possible to fall in love with an undead boss, since an undead boss who controls wind and snow magic would definitely be a great ice-freezing air conditioner.

At 2:30 a.m., the sound of shift changes could be faintly heard on the individual soldier's communication channel.

Half an hour passed without me even realizing it...

Wang Hu, a newly dispatched soldier, blinked his tired eyes and patted his thigh to keep himself from dozing off.

The air circulation system inside the isolation suit emitted a faint hum, mixed with the monotonous sound of wind and snow hitting the guard post's armor plates, forming the only "white noise" on this snowfield.

But at this moment, the white noise made him feel a little irritated.

It's so quiet.

There was nothing but wind and snow.

"Didn't the company commander say that the undead army could charge at any moment? We've already warmed up the ammunition belts, but where are they?"

Wang Hu lowered his voice and shared his feelings with his partner who was on guard not far away.

He has been in the army for two and a half years and has always performed excellently; all he needs is real combat experience.

This is my first time participating in a real combat mission, and I'm still excited.

Today, when he came to be on duty, he even carefully calculated the firing arc of the machine gun, just waiting for those brainless skeletons to rush into his firing range so that he could happily rack up a wave of military merits.

After waiting for most of the night, they didn't see a single ghost, let alone an army of the undead.

"Wang Hu, shut up! You've said it six times already!" His partner's calm, hoarse voice came through the combat channel.

Wang Hu subconsciously licked his lips, only to feel the cold touch of the polymer material mask.

"Squad leader, I'm feeling a little sleepy."

"Tired? Want me to give you some extra practice later?"

"No, squad leader, can I apply to go and search for the wolf pack?"

"There are many combat troops. Our current task is to guard against enemy night attacks. Stay alert!"

"Okay." Wang Hu's voice was much lower.

"Wang Hu, you have to use your official title when you're on a mission!"

"Yes, sir!"

Wang Hu blinked. The night view outside was so white that it could easily cause snow blindness. He forced himself to stay alert...
