Chapter 1780: Retreat!
The roars from the beasts on the northern plateau reached Mountain No. 87. The handsome giant wolf in the dense forest raised its head and let out a not-too-loud, majestic howl.
The howl traveled with the wind to the mountain peak in the south. Little Wolf Sister and the three giant wolves immediately ran south at full speed and retreated into the territory of the northern bear pack.
A giant snow leopard hidden in the stone crevices of the plateau watched the wolf pack retreat before raising its head to look at the sky.
The raptors in the air headed toward the territory of the lynx and the giant wolf, waiting to pick up scraps or snatch food after the beasts on the ground fought. Sunlight stretched the raptors' shadows across the mountains. Xia Qing, like the small animals on the ground, hid in the bunker and didn't move.
The tamed large magpie of the Hui-3 garrison and the tamed myna of the intruders both landed and hid. The brain-domain evolution raven Moli and the raven Bai Yan mixed into the bird flock and flew toward the northeast.
"Everyone stay hidden in place, do not have conflicts with evolutionary beasts." The order from Wei Wei Xianyi came through the intercoms of the Hui-3 garrison and Xia Qing.
"Received."
Xia Qing replied after Lu Bin, and then she heard the smart voice broadcast of her mobile phone in the Bluetooth headset she was wearing on her right ear.
Wei Wei Xianyi sent her a message, asking if the giant wolf that had just howled outside the ambush circle they had set up was a friend or foe.
Others guarding Mountain No. 87 didn't know about Xia Qing's dealings with the wolf pack, but Wei Wei Xianyi was somewhat aware of it, which was why he asked.
Xia Qing replied: This giant wolf and the four wolves on the edge of the southern bear pack territory and the snow leopard territory are all members of the wolf pack in the evolutionary forest north of the Northern District 1 territory. This giant wolf stayed here to protect me.
Wei Wei Xianyi had already guessed this point, because the silver-gray fur and size of this giant wolf were very similar to a giant wolf on Mountain No. 60.
Wei Wei Xianyi was very envious that Xia Qing could let the wolf pack escort her such a long distance and still stay here to protect her, so he continued to ask: Sister Qing, can you figure out why it howled just now?
Xia Qing's hiding spot was at a high place, so she could hear the distant wolf howls coming with the wind, and she understood that the pack of wolves was declaring territorial sovereignty, hoping to scare off the intruders.
But she didn't want to expose her auditory evolution ability, so she cautiously replied to Wei Wei Xianyi: I can only hear that it is contacting its companions in the south; there is no intention to attack in the howl.
Wei Wei Xianyi, who had led teams to execute missions in the evolutionary forest for many years, could also hear that there was no intention to attack in the roar of this silver-gray giant wolf. After contacting Xia Qing and confirming this point, Wei Wei Xianyi felt more at ease.
With this giant wolf here, the beasts and intruders here wouldn't be able to approach or ambush Xia Qing. With the safety of the top-tier sniper guaranteed, their sniper precision would improve, and their certainty of annihilating the intruders today increased a bit more.
At this moment, Xia Qing didn't feel at ease at all. Because the lord of this territory was lurking among the plateau rocks 1850 meters away, quietly staring at her.
The snow leopard is the only large feline panther-genus beast that cannot roar. Not being able to roar doesn't mean the snow leopard's combat power is low. The one ahead looked very strong; it was very likely the main master who made the waist-broken wolf give up competing for this plateau territory and join the northern wolf pack!
At ten in the morning, the beasts' roars ceased, the raptors dispersed, and the intruder squad hidden in Mountain No. 90 continued to advance.
At twelve noon, the intruder squad entered the dense forest at the junction of the Mountain No. 88 and Mountain No. 89 regions. Under the early warning of the myna in the air and Monkey Nine on the ground, they avoided the wolf pack lurking in the dense forest, cautiously advanced southward along the animal trails where the beast scent was weaker, and were on guard at all times against attacks from the evolutionary snow leopard that didn't know where it was hiding.
At 2:30 in the afternoon, the sun shone directly on the ground, the temperature rose, the prey on the ground hid in the shade to rest, the airflow in the air was chaotic, and the number of raptors circling in the air dropped to the lowest point of the day. A myna flying at low altitude carrying a miniature camera gradually approached the ambush circle of the Hui-3 garrison.
The tamer of the intruder squad discovered a bright spot on the monitoring screen and immediately reported in a low voice, "Team Leader Zuo, there is a large beast hunting in the dense forest ahead."
With a large beast, it proved that there was a high probability that no humans were lurking ahead. Zuo Peng's tense nerves relaxed slightly, "Continue forward, Monkey Nine, lead the way."
Monkey Nine, staring at the screen, retracted its gaze, climbed onto a snow pine to look ahead for a while, and continued to climb through the branches to move forward.
2000 meters, 1000 meters, 900 meters...
The myna carrying the camera, the evolutionary macaque, and the intruders bypassed the mountain and appeared in Xia Qing's field of vision one by one.
Xia Qing moved her fingers, pressed them on the trigger, waited for the intruders to all enter the ambush circle, and the slaughter was about to begin.
Three, four, five...
The macaque leading the way suddenly stopped, shrinking among the branches of the snow pine to observe all around. The miniature infrared camera carried by the myna in the air couldn't discover the humans hidden in the bunker, and the macaque couldn't discover anything amiss through smell and vision, but it still instinctively felt danger.
"Monkey Nine..."
The inquiry from the intruder squad's captain, Zuo Peng, hadn't been issued yet when he stopped in his tracks, "Captain."
"Where are you? Did you encounter an ambush?"
Zuo Peng replied, "Hui-3 Mountain No. 87, there are still four kilometers to the first target location, Monkey Nine suddenly stopped."
"Retreat immediately, I just received news that Hui-3's top-tier sniper Xia Qing hasn't shown her face from last night until now!"
Zuo Peng heard this and was startled.
They chose this timing to invade the Hui-3 evolutionary forest because it was a great time when Hui-3's defense power was declining and there was no elite combat power to dispatch:
First, the main forces of the combat teams and the military of Hui-3, Hui-1, and Hui-5 were all attracted to the Hui-8 evolutionary forest to search for the Fire Phoenix; second, Luo Pei of the Azure Dragon combat team led a squad out to execute a secret mission, and Yang Jin was injured and lost his combat power; third, Fu Tianfeng was attacked, and Hui-3 sent two special combat squads to stay in the Northern District 1 to protect him; the fourth was that Hui-3's top-tier sniper Xia Qing took on the task of reclaiming farmland and was trapped in the territory, working day and night.
Without reinforcements, just relying on Wei Wei Xianyi's squad stationed on Mountain No. 87, they were no match for them at all.
But with a top-tier sniper here, it was completely different. Zuo Peng feared the top-tier sniper's bullets, and even more feared the Hui-3 special combat squads that might have come with her!
"Everyone, retreat! Retreat quickly!" Zuo Peng executed the battalion commander's order without hesitation and led the squad to retreat.
Seeing the intruders retreat, Wei Wei Xianyi immediately realized they had sensed danger and ordered, "Close the net, attack!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Before Wei Wei Xianyi's words had even faded, Xia Qing had already pressed the trigger twice in succession.
The first bullet hit the macaque's right hind leg on the snow pine; the second bullet turned the myna fleeing in the air into a bloody mist.
The intruders were all wearing special protective suits, but these two animals didn't have any. Taking care of these two was equivalent to destroying the "eyes" of this intruder squad.
"Squeak—"
The macaque let out a cry of pain, using its arms to climb through the branches and run toward its intruder companions who were fleeing backward.
The last human intruder who bypassed the mountain rock pulled out his gun and accurately hit the evolutionary macaque's head! ===== CHAPTER 1781 =====
