Chapter 593: New Year Gift Pack
Xia Qing spoke softly, her voice gentle as she tried to reason with it. "Handsome Wolf Bro, how about giving me a ride? Carry me back to Territory Three. I have to get back tonight—the boss and Sick Wolf are waiting for me in the territory. I run too slow. If you don't want to, just howl a few wolves over to escort me."
The handsome giant wolf stood in place, staring at Xia Qing with its ice-blue eyes, expressionless.
What?
Even if you are handsome, you can't just ignore a human who's discussing important business with you like that, can you?!
Time was pressing, so Xia Qing stopped arguing with the fellow and simply climbed onto the handsome giant wolf's back, wrapped her arms around its neck, and decided for herself. "Thanks, Handsome Wolf Bro, for the ride. Once you get me home, I'll give you a brand-new blanket—softer even than the one Broken-Waist Wolf has."
The handsome giant wolf shook its neck in discomfort, then shook its whole body hard, but couldn't shake Xia Qing off its back. After standing silently for over ten seconds, the handsome giant wolf finally took off westward with Xia Qing.
Once the wolf started running, Xia Qing realized it was stronger than the brown-gray giant wolf and the others, because it ran very steadily and very fast—it leapt over gullies several meters wide in a single bound!
Xia Qing decided she had to build a good relationship with this wolf from now on, because riding it was far more comfortable than riding any other wolf or being carried by a person!
But after the handsome giant wolf had run for five minutes, Xia Qing began to feel uneasy. "Big Wolf Bro, are we running the wrong way? We're heading back to Mountain Forty-Nine, back to my territory…"
The handsome giant wolf seemed not to hear Xia Qing's muttering and kept running forward without wavering.
Xia Qing was at a loss. Could this wolf really not understand what she meant? Was it trying to take her back to where the western wolf pack lived?
No way!
If she didn't return tonight, then once someone went to Territory Three at dawn, Chang Li wouldn't be able to cover for her. If people found out she had taken part in tonight's operation, the remnants of Sufeng who didn't dare seek revenge against the Azure Dragon would definitely come to her territory to make trouble.
She had already had her revenge and didn't want to get mixed up in Sufeng's affairs anymore—she just wanted to hole up in her territory and farm in peace.
What could she do? The only thing on her that could communicate with the outside was a single walkie-talkie—she didn't even have a photo she could show the handsome giant wolf to make it understand where to go.
If they kept running, they'd soon be out of the walkie-talkie's range.
Xia Qing patted the handsome giant wolf's neck, signaling it to put her down. If you won't give me a ride, then damn it, I'll just head back to West Area Forest Seven to contact Yang Jin and have him send someone to escort me home.
The handsome giant wolf ignored Xia Qing, ran forward a stretch before putting her down, then began using its paws to scrape away the snow and stones on the ground. Before long, it had dug a deep pit and unearthed a…
Human backpack?
Xia Qing was shocked. She led the handsome giant wolf back a few steps, hid behind a big tree, picked up some stones and threw them a few times to confirm that the things inside the backpack were hard but contained no dangerous items like bombs. Only then did she jump into the pit, pull the backpack out, open the bag inside the backpack, then open the bag inside that bag. After seeing what was inside, Xia Qing was shocked again.
Yi stones—a whole backpack of Yi stones!!!
Xia Qing immediately opened the satchel at her waist, took out a large packaging bag from inside, and packed the Yi stones in one by one, the corners of her mouth stretching almost to the back of her head.
Big and small, eighty Yi stones in total! No wonder Tang Zhengsu was running this way like his life depended on it—there's hard currency here!
Is this just Yi stones? No, no, no—this is her spoils of war, a New Year gift pack!
Xia Qing quickly stuffed the packaging bag into the backpack that held bullets and grenades.
The backpack on the ground? Who the hell knows if there's a tracker or locator on it! Burn it, then put the ashes in a bag and take them away.
Traces and footprints at the scene? Cover them up!
The scent at the scene? Take out her idol's scent-isolating spray and spray, spray, spray!
The pit? Have the wolf fill it in! Then spray, spray, spray!
After cleaning up the scene, Xia Qing climbed onto the handsome giant wolf's back with over ten jin of Yi stones on her, her voice sweeter than water. "Big Wolf Bro, you built Jin Zita, didn't you? You're amazing! Big Wolf Bro, are there more backpacks like this? Shall we keep digging?"
The handsome giant wolf shook its neck and began to run.
Xia Qing, carrying the Yi stones on her back, looked up and used the stars to get her bearings, discovering the handsome giant wolf was running north. She knew the New Year gift pack was a one-time thing, and the handsome giant wolf was now taking her home.
Half an hour later, she noticed the handsome giant wolf was getting a bit tired.
The protective suit Yang Jin had given her came with a water canteen, and there was water inside.
Xia Qing had the handsome giant wolf put her down, quickly fashioned a drinking container out of a small packaging bag, poured the water from the canteen into it, then added a vial of premium nutrient solution before bringing it to the handsome giant wolf's mouth. "Big Wolf Bro, have some water. There's premium nutrient solution in here that quickly restores stamina—you'll feel much better after drinking it."
The handsome giant wolf probably couldn't understand what Xia Qing was saying, but it was indeed thirsty. It lowered its head to sniff the water in the bag, drank it up quickly, then raised its head and looked at Xia Qing with its ice-blue eyes.
Not enough? Easy! Xia Qing poured all the remaining water from the canteen into the bag.
After the handsome giant wolf had drunk its fill, Xia Qing didn't pour out the leftover water either. Instead, she waited for it to freeze, then packed it into her backpack, trying to leave as few traces as possible along the way.
Carrying Yi stones worth tens of millions of points, Xia Qing naturally had to be cautious and careful.
Not long after drinking the stamina-restoring premium nutrient solution, the handsome giant wolf had recovered its energy and was looking at Xia Qing's hand with its ice-blue eyes.
Xia Qing, who dealt with wolves often, understood its meaning at once. She immediately took out the soft plastic bottle of premium nutrient solution to show it, and explained slowly with gestures. "This is called premium nutrient solution. Drink it and it quickly restores stamina, so you won't be tired for a whole day, and there are almost no side effects."
"You can't have any more today—one vial a day at most. Whenever Handsome Wolf Bro wants some, just come find me at Territory Three. No trade needed, I'll give it to you free."
Just based on the friendship of this pack of Yi stones the handsome giant wolf had led her to today, let alone it wanting to drink premium nutrient solution—even if it brought its wife and kids along to drink, Xia Qing wouldn't have a single complaint.
Once high-Yi-element spinach is promoted for planting in Hui Three, the price of premium nutrient solution will drop significantly.
For Xia Qing, a cheaper price just meant plucking a few spinach leaves from the field and dripping in one or two drops of the solution.
Although the handsome giant wolf had drunk the nutrient solution, Xia Qing still had it run for half an hour and rest for ten minutes. Past three in the morning, the human and the wolf finally reached the northern foot of Mountain Fifty-Two. The handsome giant wolf refused to go any further.
Xia Qing jumped down from the wolf's back, smoothed the fur on its back and neck, and offered her solemn thanks. "Thank you so much, Handsome Wolf Bro, for bringing me back. This trip was really hard on you. Do you want to take the blanket I'm giving you now?"
The handsome giant wolf didn't seem interested in the blanket and turned to run. Judging by the direction, it wasn't heading back to Mountain Sixty, but returning along the original route to the Western Evolution Forest. Could it be that this wolf, along with the twenty-plus wolves under its command, had joined the western wolf pack and wasn't going back to Mountain Sixty?
The Queen was about to give birth or had already given birth, so losing numbers in the wolf pack at this time was really dangerous.
After watching the handsome giant wolf disappear into the vast snowy sea, Xia Qing quickly crossed Mountain Forty-Nine with the Yi stones on her back, swiped open the north gate of Territory Three, and stepped into her own territory. She bent down and hugged Sick Wolf, who was waiting inside the gate. "Lao Er, I'm back!"
