Chapter 1821
According to the combat plan formulated by Xia Qing, if the two human intruders following the porcupine discovered Quack-quack, one would hide in the dark to direct the porcupine forward, and the other would actively expose themselves to lure away Quack-quack, then the wolf-human-bird team would also have to split up: the fourth one would be responsible for one human intruder, the Northern Wolf Pack would be responsible for the other human intruder, and Electric Ray and Eryong, riding the giant wolf, would be responsible for capturing the porcupine and recovering the explosive bomb.
Now, the Western Wolf King and the Broken-Waist Wolf, who had joined the mission team, had gone to pursue the human intruders. How should the remaining human intruder hiding in the dark and the porcupine be divided?
Electric Ray looked at Eryong, and Eryong looked at the Northern Wolf King. The Northern Wolf King looked at the fourth one, stood up, and flicked his tail.
Eryong understood; the hidden intruder would be exterminated by the fourth one, and the porcupine would be captured by the Northern Wolf Pack led by the Northern Wolf King. He immediately stood up, and Electric Ray on the wolf's back also gripped the straps tightly.
The Northern Wolf King, preparing to set off, turned his head, stared sternly at Eryong, and slowly bared his fangs. Eryong understood that he was being disliked and explained in a low voice, "Queen, after Electric Ray disarms the bomb later, I need to assist her in sealing the bomb."
"Woo—" The lead wolf bared four fangs, his roar low and majestic.
Retired special forces soldier Electric Ray understood the lead wolf's meaning and signaled Eryong to stay behind, "Captain, I can complete the bomb disposal and sealing mission alone. But I need Eryong to open the box on Black Two's back now and take out the encapsulation chamber and put it into my backpack."
The lead wolf looked at Eryong again.
During the mission, team members must obey the captain's orders. Eryong immediately stepped forward to take down the box on Black Two's back, opened the outer packaging, took out an encapsulation chamber that was thirty centimeters long, weighed more than sixty jin, and shaped like an oxygen tank, put it into the backpack, handed the backpack to Electric Ray, his gaze solemn.
If there was the slightest mistake in the bomb disposal and sealing process, the explosive bomb would be detonated immediately. The lead wolf, the two giant wolves, and Electric Ray would all sacrifice themselves on the spot.
If the Northern Wolf King were blown to death, Eryong dared not imagine what extreme actions the Broken-Waist Wolf would take to avenge him.
Moreover, this was the territory of the Western Wolf Pack, which was already at odds with humans. If the explosive bomb destroyed this forest, the Western Wolf Pack would not let it go either.
Electric Ray took the backpack, nodded to Eryong, and said calmly, "Captain, we can set off."
After the Northern Wolf King led the team away, the fourth one looked sternly at Eryong, who was squatting beside him, and then looked at the big tree next to him.
Eryong, who was disliked again, immediately climbed onto the tree to hide, and then watched helplessly as the former Southern Wolf King dived into the dense evolved forest and disappeared.
10:17 AM, secret room in the inner city of the Hui-5 Safe Zone.
Xu Bo, leader of the 8th Intelligence Group, reported the latest intelligence, "Department Head Yin, the Cold Cicada team is 10 kilometers from the target location, discovered the raven, and the two members split up according to your orders. The raven has been lured away by Cold Cicada No. 6."
Yin Zhen stood up, "Order Cold Cicada No. 5 to direct the porcupine to advance at full speed. The porcupine must reach the target location before the reconnaissance bird returns and detonate the bomb!"
"Received."
The high-level speed-evolved porcupine, which had been running for more than an hour, although already foaming at the mouth, still accelerated under the stimulation of the weak electric collar and rushed toward the target location.
Big Guy lunged aside, baring its fangs as if to bite Electric Ray's leg, and Black Two also assumed a combat stance.
Electric Ray and Er Yong, who had been struggling to control their heart rates and emotions, both lost their composure.
Electric Ray had assumed that teaming up with the wolf pack meant Er Yong would be carrying her. She never expected that she—she, she—would actually be riding a giant wolf on a mission!!!
Er Yong had also assumed that being recruited meant he would serve as Electric Ray's legs. For this, after receiving the notice, he had immediately downed a vial of X-nutrient solution and applied to his team leader, Hu Zi, for Yi-element stimulant and the No. 3 reagent.
Er Yong was well aware of the side effects of these two reagents. He had prepared to burn through all the Yi-element in his body and ruin his evolutionary abilities just to carry Electric Ray and keep up with the wolf pack's speed to intercept the Blue Blood's bomb.
Every core member of a combat team, who received high wages and benefits, was prepared to risk their life at critical moments, and Er Yong was no exception. He just hadn't expected that Sister Qing wasn't using him as a consumable. What, then, was his mission this time?
"Woo—"
The northern Wolf Queen let out a majestic roar. The Waist-Broken Wolf bared its fangs, while Big Guy and Black Two retracted theirs and lowered their heads, showing submission.
"Electric Ray, Er Yong, control your emotions."
Xia Qing reminded the two human team members, then let out a majestic roar at Big Guy before placing the stiff Electric Ray onto the wolf's back. She quickly used binding straps to secure her legs to both sides of Big Guy's back, then tied a shield in front of her legs to protect Electric Ray's still-recovering foot and ankle.
Once the gear was secured, Xia Qing began assigning tasks: "Electric Ray, Er Yong, the captain of this mission is the northern Wolf Queen. You must obey Her Majesty's orders throughout. If Electric Ray does not understand Her Majesty's instructions, Er Yong will relay them. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Electric Ray responded loudly.
"Understood!" Er Yong, having just learned he was to be a translator, responded even louder.
"Woo—"
The northern Wolf Queen let out a majestic roar, and the three members of the pack roared in unison. Big Guy shook its body, trying to throw the weak human off its back.
Electric Ray, carrying her sniper rifle, hurriedly grabbed the binding straps to steady herself.
Xia Qing reminded the two human members: "When operating with the wolf pack, do not speak loudly at any time."
"Woo—"
Xia Qing corrected herself: "Try not to speak at all throughout the mission; follow Her Majesty's orders. Waist-Broken, you are responsible for checking the position of the Fourth and linking up with it as soon as possible."
The Waist-Broken Wolf nodded solemnly.
Xia Qing looked up and called out to the last member of the task force: "Gua Gua."
The brain-domain evolved raven on the large tree flapped its wings and flew down, landing on Xia Qing's raised hand. It lifted its left wing to greet her: "Xia Qing!"
Xia Qing handed it a live mealworm: "Gua Gua has worked hard. Do you want to follow Er Yong or Electric Ray?"
Having eaten the mealworm, Gua Gua flapped its wings and landed on Electric Ray's shoulder.
The four retired soldiers and the vacationing Xiang Yanlong within Territory 11 had all spent plenty of time getting close to the neighbor's birds. Among these four, Gua Gua liked Huo Zhun the best, followed by Electric Ray, who had arrived the latest. Er Yong of the Green Dragon Combat Team was stationed at Mountain 49; Gua Gua knew him, but they weren't close.
Therefore, between Electric Ray and Er Yong, Gua Gua chose the former.
"Good, Gua Gua will follow Electric Ray." Xia Qing handed the bird-carrying satchel to Electric Ray and instructed: "You can let Gua Gua stay in the satchel while we're traveling later; be careful to avoid tree branches."
Electric Ray, keeping her mouth shut, nodded and took the satchel to wear.
"Your Majesty, you are the captain, you should..."
Before Xia Qing could finish, the alpha wolf bolted forward. The three evolved wolves and Er Yong immediately followed, disappearing into the evolved forest.
