Chapter 1662: Wolf Pack, Move Out!

Hearing that Xia Qing was forming a team for a mission, Zhu Li, who had taken on a melon-eating mission, looked up at the sky; Tang Huai stomped his foot; Shi Du and Lord Wen Nengjie remained all smiles; and Di Ming and Wang Man, who had been so excited just moments ago, both looked at Yan Long at the same time.

"Captain, I..."

"Captain..."

Yan Long, who had shouldered his shovel with the aura of a howitzer, asked slowly, "You two want to go on a mission with Xia Qing?"

Zhu Li and Tang Huai immediately scooted aside, afraid that when Yan Long made a move, the two innocent little fish fry that they were would be caught in the crossfire.

Di Ming, the brain-domain evolver, jumped in fright and immediately answered, "No, Captain, I was just wondering if that shovel is heavy? If it's heavy, shall I carry it for you?"

Wang Man, who was pushing the wheelchair, also tried to avoid a beating. "Captain, I was wondering if you're tired? If you are, you can sit in the wheelchair with the electric ray, and I'll push you both."

The electric ray in the wheelchair lowered his head, holding back laughter.

In front of Tang Huai and the others, Yan Long gave his team members a little face. "This road is pretty bumpy, sitting in the wheelchair isn't comfortable."

Wang Man breathed a sigh of relief; Di Ming sensed something was wrong.

Sure enough, the next second, Yan Long spoke again. "Since you two have so much energy, carry the wheelchair."

The electric ray, who had been holding back laughter, immediately sat up ramrod straight and replied with perfect seriousness, "Thank you, Captain. Dead Man Jie, Ming Ge, thanks for your trouble."

Wang Man...

Di Ming...

Lord Wen Nengjie, all smiles, came over and took the pickaxe Di Ming had been carrying. He turned to take the shovel from Yan Long, but after a few attempts, he simply didn't dare open his mouth.

Lord Wen Nengjie, who had scraped along the very bottom of society and carried corpses for ten years, could tell at a glance what kind of person was a true fiend. Someone of Yan Long's caliber made him not even dare try to curry favor.

In the fifteenth minute after Xia Qing announced the team formation, Broken-Waist Wolf, wearing a protective suit, led the five Northern Wolf Pack members who had teamed up with Xia Qing the night before, arriving at the helipad of Mountain No. 49.

In the nineteenth minute, Beard Feng piloted the helicopter into the Northern Zone One territory, landing outside the south gate of Territory No. 7.

Xia Qing jumped down from the helicopter, let Watching Huo Zhun, Wu Lianmin, and Zhang Hongda, who had been waiting outside the south gate, board. After she entered Territory No. 7 to deliver the blood samples of the five Northern Wolf Pack members, she came out carrying Zhang Song and holding the equipment case, boarded the helicopter, and flew toward Hui-3 Mountain Area No. 21.

Wu Lianmin on the helicopter, looking through the porthole, saw his two comrades on the path between territories carrying the wheelchair while goose-stepping, and the electric ray in the wheelchair waving at him. He grinned from ear to ear.

The old ancestors were absolutely right: when the old man at the frontier lost his horse, who could have known it was a blessing? Who could have known it was a blessing?

Inside the Territory No. 7 laboratory, Zhang He, wearing a protective suit, printed out the first test report, turned, and strode toward his mentor's office.

Inside the office, Zhang San switched the camera feed. Wang Rujiang, wearing prison garb on his phone screen, slowly opened his eyes wide in disbelief upon seeing the person sitting across from Zhang San, tears streaming down his face.

"Sister Qing, Brother Duan."

At the tail of the helicopter, the person and the wolf who had been huddled together whispering both turned their heads at the same time, looking at Zhang Song in the middle of the cabin.

Zhang Song held up his phone. "Third Brother sent the test results over. Should I go over, or should you two come over?"

Xia Qing didn't dare let the master of falling on flat ground walk around inside the swaying helicopter, so she brought Broken-Waist Wolf over.

Seeing the two people and one wolf huddled together whispering, everyone else on the helicopter pretended this was perfectly normal and continued executing the mission.

Half an hour later, the helicopter, bound with giant eagle claws, arrived over the second peak of Mountain No. 21 in Hui-3, and began to descend.

The former Wolf King of the Hui-3 Southern Wolf Pack, hidden in the evolution forest, let out a long howl, and the pack members followed with furious howls.

When the helicopter landed, the old wolf let out a howl of "anger" and "reluctance." The pack received the order, quickly moved away from the danger zone, and lay in wait in the evolution forest for the leader to give the attack command.

The old wolf had captured the Fierce Fire Squad 49 at the foot of the third peak of Hui-3 Mountain No. 21, but the location Zhang San sent to Xia Qing was the second peak of Mountain No. 21.

Zhang San, busy testing samples, had no time to explain to Xia Qing why he had her come here, and directly had Zhang Song bring over an interrogation record.

Xia Qing and Broken-Waist Wolf quickly skimmed through the record, and only then learned that beneath this location there was an underground cave—the hiding spot of Fierce Fire Squad 49, captured by the Southern Wolf Pack.

After the Fierce Fire incident, the last squad order received by the leaders of each Fierce Fire squad and group was a text notification from Fierce Fire Battalion Commander Fire Phoenix, stating that Qu Fangzhou had defected, ordering all squads to no longer obey Qu Fangzhou, and to evacuate Qu Fangzhou's known hidden points as soon as possible, awaiting further orders.

So Fierce Fire Squad 49, responsible for secretly guarding three hostages, quickly fled the guard post and hid in the cave beneath the second peak of Hui-3 Mountain No. 21 to await orders.

They never expected that this wait would last a full month. During this month they received no orders, and no supplies, food, or weapons were provided, which made them more and more panicked as they waited.

Yesterday during the day, the squad leader discovered on the darknet a hidden mission posted using Fierce Fire Squad's secret code, with a reward of fifty thousand points. The mission was very simple: go to the pool beneath the waterfall at the cliff of Hui-3 Mountain No. 22, collect samples of native plants, and deliver them to a designated location.

This mission might be a trap, but it was also their chance to re-establish contact with the squad's higher-ups.

So Squad 49, with the closest proximity, immediately snatched this mission, left the underground cave, and hurried toward Mountain Area No. 22 to investigate.

If this mission wasn't a trap to lure Fierce Fire members, they could escape from certain death; if it was a trap, they would quietly retreat, exchange the three people they were holding for points, then change their identities and enter another base to make a living.

They never expected that after crawling out of the cave where they had hidden for a month and carefully advancing for twenty minutes, they were ambushed before even entering Mountain Area No. 22.

The three people who had woken up on the helicopter were tearfully grateful to their "savior," Xie Yu, and answered everything they knew. Their true savior wolf was at this very moment lying in the evolution forest, waiting to rendezvous with its teammates and head to Mountain No. 31 to execute a mission.

The cabin door opened, and Xia Qing was the first to jump down from the helicopter, closely followed by Watching Huo Zhun, who was carrying Zhang Song.

Tang Zhou, the No. 4 combatant of the Green Dragon Squad responsible for ground reception, hurried forward to meet them. "Sister Qing, this is the underground chamber where Fierce Fire Squad 49 was hiding."

"This is Zhang Song, a senior researcher from Territory No. 7. Third Brother sent him to search the underground chamber. Song Ge, this is Tang Zhou, the No. 4 combatant of the Green Dragon Squad." After introducing both sides, Xia Qing began assigning tasks. "Tang Ge, you and Huo Ge protect Song Ge into the underground chamber for a full search. I'll lead the team guarding outside."

"Good!" Xia Qing was a top sniper, and she had a close relationship with the wolf pack. Having her guard outside was the safest bet.

After Tang Zhou's squad escorted Zhang Song into the underground chamber, Xia Qing, carrying her sniper rifle, quickly climbed to the mountaintop. After scanning the surroundings to confirm safety, she spoke. "Min Ge."

"Copy." Wu Lianmin, standing beside the helicopter, raised his left arm and waved his palm forward twice—this was the special forces hand signal directing a specific team member to advance in a designated direction.

Broken-Waist Wolf, long prepared inside the cabin, shot out like lightning for more than ten meters, vanishing into the dense underbrush.
