Chapter 635: The Furious Wolf Pack

The red Calamity Rain had been falling for forty minutes, and the chaos it triggered was still ongoing.

"In the wasteland village southeast of the territory, due north, a two-meter-tall aggressive Calamity-evolved wild paulownia has sprouted and needs to be cleared." From Territory Three's walkie-talkie came the voice of vision evolver Peng Jian, who was currently standing on the roof of a small hut by the farmland, observing the abnormal conditions throughout the territory and issuing warnings in time.

"I'm close by, heading over to clear the wild paulownia now." Guan Tong, another strength evolver in the territory, was guarding crops inside a yellow-light wheat greenhouse. Xia Qing swiftly tied off a bag full of scorpions and hurried to the wild paulownia's location.

With Xia Qing's current abilities, uprooting and clearing a two-plus-meter-tall aggressive wild paulownia took only two or three minutes. Then she broadcast an announcement on the lord channel: "Territory Three has just cleared a two-plus-meter-tall aggressive Calamity-evolved wild paulownia."

This was already the twenty-ninth aggressive Calamity-evolved wild paulownia to sprout within Territories 1–10. That number wasn't right.

Xia Qing deduced that there must be a very large Calamity-evolved wild paulownia in the nearby Evolution Forest, and its seeds had been carried here by wind or birds, which was why so many aggressive Calamity-evolved saplings were sprouting in the territory during the Calamity Rain.

After the Calamity Rain, she and Xin Yu could take the bird into the nearby Evolution Forest to search for it. That large tree had to be cleared to prevent future trouble.

Of course, they had to get through this Calamity Rain safely first.

Xia Qing rinsed the dirt off her shovel with rain, slung it over her shoulder, and continued patrolling the territory using her magnetic-sense evolution ability, clearing away dangers.

In the western isolation belt of the southern territory of Hui-Three Safe Zone, hundreds of large and small herbivore beast corpses lay strewn about.

The lords and hired workers within the human territory were hiding in rooms or basements, not daring to show themselves. Inside the territory, Calamity grass and other Calamity-evolved plants were growing wildly. The battle between the squad members defending the territory and the attacking wolf pack and leopards had already turned into a war of endurance.

"Captain Yang, the helicopter will arrive in five minutes. The pilot is asking where to drop the supplies."

Yang Jin, who was engaged with one wolf and one leopard, paused on the trunk of a large tree and pressed the walkie-talkie button. "Sniper Point Six, then send them over immediately."

If the helicopter got any closer, it might provoke the wolf pack, which was still holding back somewhat.

"Copy that."

"Whoosh—"

No sooner had Yang Jin finished speaking than he felt a vicious gust of wind behind him. He swiftly leapt away from the tree, and a massive golden leopard landed on the branch where he had just been standing, then used the momentum to pounce after the fleeing Yang Jin.

The instant Yang Jin hit the ground, a silver-gray giant wolf burst from the bushes, its bone-white fangs and sharp claws aiming straight for his throat and chest. At the same moment, the leopard on the tree also charged at him from behind.

The golden leopard's speed was in no way slower than Yang Jin's!

With nowhere to dodge this time, Yang Jin could only block with his twin swords still in their scabbards.

"Awoo—wooo—" The wolf howls sent out a warning before the roar of the aircraft.

Last time, humans had only managed to kill off more than half of the wolf pack invading the eastern territory and drive them away by deploying bombers. So the wolf pack was extremely wary at the sight of a helicopter.

The wolf and leopard fighting Yang Jin immediately retreated and snarled at the human before them. Yang Jin lifted his foot and broke free of the vines binding him, his eyes still locked on the wolf and leopard in front of him.

"Awoo—wooo—"

The silver-gray giant wolf retreated, raised its head, and let out a commanding long howl. The evolved wolves scattered and fighting humans immediately gathered over, and three wolves circled far around the nearest sniper.

From the look of it, this wolf pack meant to kill him before retreating. Yang Jin knew a good man shouldn't fight a losing battle; he immediately leapt up a tree, drew the twin pistols from his waist for the first time, and aimed at the two leopards trying to ambush him.

He was indeed a top-tier human speed evolver, but the evolved golden leopard's speed still surpassed his—this was a racial gap that even evolution couldn't bridge.

The golden leopard, having fought humans before, knew how deadly this weapon was. It stood on a nearby tree and no longer advanced, while the furious wolf pack on the ground had already begun using their claws to attack the tree Yang Jin was standing on.

One swipe of claws would tear off a huge chunk of the trunk, shaking the tree so hard that raindrops came pouring down, splashing onto Yang Jin.

"Captain Yang, the prisoner has been brought to Sniper Point Five."

Hearing the voice from the walkie-talkie, Yang Jin immediately ordered, "Everyone at Sniper Point Five, fall back."

"Yes, sir."

After waiting two minutes, Yang Jin holstered one pistol, led the wolf pack and leopards charging toward Sniper Point Five, grabbed Sun Jun, the bound Dongyang Squad member on the ground, ripped off the tape sealing his mouth, and gave his shoulder a hard squeeze.

"Ah—" Sun Jun immediately let out a scream of agony.

Hearing Sun Jun's voice, the leopards in the trees and the wolf pack on the ground howled furiously at the same time. The sound terrified the screaming Sun Jun so badly he trembled uncontrollably.

From the movements of the wolf pack and leopards, it was clear they had recognized Sun Jun as the one who had tortured and killed their cubs. That made things easy.

Yang Jin imitated Xia Qing's way of communicating with wolves, slowing his speech and adding gestures. He ripped the black cloth from Sun Jun's eyes so the wolf pack could see his face, then picked up Xue Jinchang's corpse beside him, slowed his speech, and said loudly to the furious evolved beasts:

"These two are the human traitors who killed your cubs. They've already been captured by humans and are now handed over to you for judgment." After speaking, Yang Jin first tossed Xue Jinchang's corpse over.

The silver-gray giant wolf pinned the corpse under its paw and sniffed it, its blue eyes glaring viciously at the still-living human in Yang Jin's hands.

"No! Captain Yang, no! Please just kill me directly, don't hand me over to these beasts. I'm a human, I'm a human!!!" Sun Jun screamed in terror.

And you still know you're a human?!

Yang Jin gripped Sun Jun's jaw, silencing his screams. "This one's for you too, but from now on you can't attack humans anymore. Otherwise, next time every last one of you will be killed."

After speaking, Yang Jin untied the ropes binding the screaming, begging Sun Jun's hands and feet and threw him toward the evolved giant wolf leader.

The moment Sun Jun hit the ground and tried to run, a furious she-wolf bit his arm and slammed him to the ground. He knew that with his abilities, escape was impossible; survival instinct made him keep begging Yang Jin for help. "I was just following orders, it wasn't my idea—beasts, ah—"

Several furious wolves and leopards didn't kill Sun Jun outright. They bit off and tore apart his limbs, and only at the end did they rip open his abdomen. Xue Jinchang's corpse was treated by the wolf pack in the same way.

Yang Jin watched this scene in silence, finally understanding how Sun Jun and Xue Jinchang had tortured and killed the wolf pack and leopards' cubs.

After that silver-gray evolved giant wolf bit through Sun Jun's neck, it led the wolf pack and leopards away, letting out one mournful wolf howl after another from deep within the distant Evolution Forest.

News of the wolf pack's retreat quickly reached the northern territory. The people who had been battling the Calamity Rain for twenty hours finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But unexpectedly, on the evening the day this Calamity Rain stopped, the western wolf pack suddenly charged into the western territory, tearing the rainproof covers off dozens of greenhouses, making it clear with their actions that they would not allow humans to remain in this territory.
