Chapter 1507: A Cross-Species General Practitioner Leaves Human Territory

Although Zhang Shi had already known what she would face before stepping out of the box, when she stood up from the box and saw the expanse of green wolf eyes before her, her heart still pounded uncontrollably, her magnetic field fluctuating even more violently than Ye Yiyi's!

Ye Yiyi's source of mental stimulation was humans, so she did not have much of a reaction to the pack of wolves before her.

Zhang Shi gripped Ye Yiyi's hand, moved as close to Xia Qing as possible, took a deep breath to steady her emotions, and opened her mouth to greet them. "Lord Cui Yan, hello. I am the human Zhang Shi, the attending doctor for Fourth Brother and Missing-Ear. This is my niece Ye Yiyi. We will be in your way for the next period of time."

Lord Cui Yan fixed a pair of emerald-green eyes on Zhang Shi and Ye Yiyi for several seconds, then let out a low, furious growl toward Xia Qing. The powerful aggressive magnetic field it released made Zhang Shi's brow ache, her scalp tingle, and her heart clench.

Little Yiyi, meanwhile, opened a pair of calm eyes and stared at the smallest, scarred-face wolf pup in the pack.

Without Xia Qing needing to speak, Old Four, wearing a mask, walked over, nuzzled the Cui Yan Wolf King with his body, and let out a few low aows.

After the two wolf kings communicated, although the Cui Yan Wolf King was still not very pleased, she at least stopped baring her teeth at Xia Qing.

Only then did Xia Qing place her hand on Ye Yiyi's shoulder and begin to issue threats. "Cui Yan, Zhang Shi is my important companion. She is going to your territory to treat Old Four and Missing-Ear. If you dare to kill her and the cub Yiyi from my territory, I will come over and kill you!"

"Woo!!!" The fur on Lord Cui Yan's neck bristled once more, and she bared her fangs at Xia Qing with a low growl.

Broken-Waist Wolf stood beside Xia Qing with two giant wolves and Wolf Lao Er, baring their fangs and growling back at the southern wolf pack.

The northern wolf pack began to provoke, and the southern wolf pack was unyielding — six members, including Missing-Ear Wolf, also bared their fangs and growled back.

However, everyone still had their reason, knowing this place was very close to human territory, so they did not make too much noise to alert the humans.

Wave after wave of powerful, sharp aggressive magnetic fields assailed Zhang Shi. Although her evolved recovery ability could weaken the brow pain caused by magnetic field attacks, being exposed to so many aggressive magnetic fields at close range still exceeded her capacity to bear. She had to lean on the box to keep her body upright, trying not to appear too weak.

Why not get closer to Xia Qing? Because the aggressive magnetic field released by Xia Qing, who was currently cursing up a storm, was no weaker than the wolf king's.

It was the first time Zhang Shi had felt Xia Qing erupt with such a fierce aggressive magnetic field. Although her head was splitting with pain, her heart felt very steady.

The two packs of wolves howled at each other for a full ten minutes before finally sheathing their fangs. Old Four turned to look at Xia Qing. Xia Qing nodded, bent down to pick up Ye Yiyi, and supported Zhang Shi. "Sister Shi, come out. It's time to depart."

Setting out tonight was a plan decided beforehand. After Liehuo orchestrated the bombing attack in the safe zone, the variables in the Northern Zone One territory increased again. The sooner Old Wolf, Zhang Shi, and Ye Yiyi left, the better.

Yesterday afternoon, Yang Jin went to team up with Broken-Waist Wolf to clear the Evolution Forest once. After Xia Qing held a meeting for the wolf packs last night, the western, northern, and southern wolf packs strengthened their territory patrols, so now was the best time for Zhang Shi and Ye Yiyi to leave.

Having calmed down, Zhang Shi stepped out of the box and thanked the northern wolf pack. "Brother Duan, Brother Big, Sister Two, sorry for the trouble."

Broken-Waist Wolf nodded solemnly.

Xia Qing quickly strapped seat covers onto the two giant wolves, then lifted Zhang Shi and placed her on the wolf's back, set Ye Yiyi in front of Zhang Shi, wrapped the quiet little one in a thermal blanket, and instructed Zhang Shi, "The giant wolves run very fast. Sister Shi, hold Yiyi and try to lie flat against the wolf's back, gripping these two handles. Don't grip the giant wolf's neck tightly, don't lift your head, or you might get scratched by branches. If you can't take the exhaustion or the cold, call out to Broken-Waist and Old Four, and we'll stop to rest for a while. Absolutely don't push through it; frostbite would be a real problem."

"Okay, you be careful too." It was Zhang Shi's first time riding a wolf roughly the size of a horse — and one that was releasing a hostile magnetic field at that — so her heart was very nervous.

Exhaustion was possible, but cold probably wouldn't be.

Both she and Ye Yiyi were wearing thermal clothing newly developed by Lan Yi that they had just traded with Xia Qing for, and their whole bodies were warm and cozy. Zhang Shi's thermal clothing was a ready-made garment; Yiyi's was sewn by Zhang Shi in two rushed hours after she got the fabric.

Zhang Shi was very handy. She also used the leftover scraps to make three pairs of gloves and a mask.

She and Yiyi each wore a pair of gloves; the third pair went on Xia Qing's hand, and the mask went on her Number One patient's mouth — the former wolf king Old Four.

Old Four discovered that wearing this mask was more suitable than wearing the human protective face shield, and specifically found Xia Qing to return the secondhand protective face shield she had just bought, asking Xia Qing to transfer the points back to her card……

After confirming the two were seated securely, Xia Qing said goodbye to Yiyi in a low voice, reached out to pat Big Guy's neck, then tied Zhang Shi's backpack onto Second Guy's back. "Big Guy, Second Guy, thanks for your hard work. Come on, have some X nutrient solution and egg liquid."

Before Xia Qing could even take out the food, Zhang Shi strangely felt that the magnetic fields of all the wolves had become less sharp; once Xia Qing took out the food, not only the northern wolf pack, but even Lord Cui Yan and the scarred-face wolf pup of the southern wolf pack had magnetic fields that turned joyful……

After feeding the northern wolf pack the nutrient solution, Xia Qing poured out another basin of warm water, mixed in four tubes of X nutrient solution and five raw eggs, stirred it well, and brought it to the southern wolf pack. "Lord Cui Yan, Scarface, you all have some too to warm up your bodies."

Lord Cui Yan let out a few fierce, low growls at Xia Qing, then reluctantly drank most of the basin of water before letting the water basin go to her other companions.

Xia Qing……

Damn it, you're not a giant wolf that needs to haul cargo, so why are you drinking so much?

After Xia Qing added water one more time and all the wolves had drunk their fill, she instructed Broken-Waist Wolf, who had been staring at Old Four's mask the whole time. "Broken-Waist, protect Sister Shi and Yiyi well. If Sister Shi is safe, the little wolf sister and little wolf brother will be able to grow teeth just like yours — the most beautiful and sharpest on all of Blue Star."

Broken-Waist Wolf immediately bared a full set of teeth to show she understood.

Xia Qing nodded. "Good, let's set off. Leave early, return early. Absolutely don't let the humans discover you. Old Four, Lord Cui Yan, Scarface, there's a final exam in one month. You must study hard and come on time to take the exam."

Upon hearing about the exam, the Cui Yan Wolf King couldn't help baring her fangs again.

Old Four nodded solemnly, led the team charging westward, from Zone Three of Mountain Forty-Nine toward Zone Five. Before Zhang Shi could even wave goodbye to Xia Qing, she was carried off by the wolves.

Zhang Shi and Yiyi combined didn't weigh as much as Xia Qing, and the two of them weren't carrying a backpack and weapons weighing over a hundred jin. The giant wolf Big Guy, who had drunk the nutrient solution, carried them on his back and ran with easy, light steps.

The red squirrel Strong Cub in its tree nest in its own territory, hearing the wolf pack approach, was so scared its fur stood on end all over its body and it curled into a ball. Only after the ten evolved wolves had rushed past the big tree it lived in did its bristled fur slowly settle back down, and it continued sleeping.

Xia Qing, standing in Zone Three, used her phone to check the cameras in Zone Five. Watching Old Four lead the team out of Zone Five and head north, her heart was put at ease.

The wolf pack taking Zhang Shi and Yiyi away from human territory to return to the southern wolf pack's territory absolutely could not be caught by cameras in other zones of Mountain Forty-Nine, or Zhang Shi would be exposed.

So Xia Qing discussed this safest route with Old Four and Broken-Waist Wolf. The wolf pack needed to take a detour tonight to return to the southern wolf pack's territory.

After confirming the route, Xia Qing was still not at ease. She had originally wanted to personally escort the wolf pack into Mountain Forty-Eight before returning, but was directly refused by the two wolves. The reason was that she ran too slowly and would seriously drag down the team's marching speed!
