Chapter 836: Bear, Save or Not Save?

Xin Yu pointed above her head, indicating that apart from the sound of flowing water, she could only hear the roar of the helicopter.

Xia Qing shook her head. The helicopter had flown in from the south, but the alpha wolf was looking north. Most likely, the giant bear on Mountain 61 had heard the fighting here stop, and was howling to confirm whether the members of the bear group were safe. If it got no response from this "little bear" lying on the ground, the giant bear would very likely head south.

Sensing Xia Qing's emotional fluctuation, Xin Yu pulled out her phone. Seeing that the alpha wolf had only glanced at her and had not released any hostile magnetic field, Xin Yu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly typed out a message to Xia Qing reporting the current situation.

Xia Qing quickly scanned the message and whispered to Xin Yu, "If the Queen shows strong hostility, tap me with your finger."

Xin Yu nodded slightly.

Xia Qing began gesturing, communicating with the alpha wolf: "Your Majesty, my companions are in the helicopter up there. They can save this bear. Do you want to save this bear and the monkey? You can have Broken-Waist ask the bears for supplies in exchange, save the bear…"

If the wolf pack had no reinforcements, Xia Qing would definitely have the helicopter land quickly to save the bear.

Whether to save it or not now depends on the alpha wolf. If it wants to kill the bear, Xia Qing will absolutely not stop it. But just now the alpha wolf did not kill this bear, so Xia Qing wants to try. If the wolf pack and the bear pack stop fighting and jointly guard the northern Evolution Forest of Hui-3, preventing fierce beasts from the north of Mountains 60 and 61 from invading, it would absolutely be a great thing for the humans of Hui-3 Base.

After understanding Xia Qing's meaning, an expression of thought rarely appeared on the alpha wolf's face. But it lasted only two seconds. The king of this northern wolf pack quickly made up its mind and threw back its head in a long howl.

Xin Yu could not understand the meaning of the wolf howl, but she could see that the six wolves surrounding the area were all retreating.

This is… agreement?

"I understand, Your Majesty. We'll save this bear, let Broken-Waist ask the bear group for supplies in exchange, and demand all the good stuff from the bears. Your Majesty is truly clever. Your Majesty is truly an evolved wolf standing at the top of the Blue Star pyramid. Your Majesty has personally turned a new page in the history of the northern Evolution Forest." After expressing her boundless admiration to the alpha wolf, Xia Qing whispered to Xin Yu, "Have the helicopter land and come save the bear."

The bear, which had been injected with an overdose of anesthetic, had to be treated as soon as possible, or it would be too late.

"Received, landing immediately." After receiving Xin Yu's notification, Huo Zhun piloted the helicopter and slowly set it down on open ground a little over a hundred meters from Xia Qing and the evolved bear.

Evolved wolf pack?

Lao Er, who had already withdrawn into the Evolution Forest to hide, had also just arrived among them.

Before the aircraft had even landed steadily, the cabin door opened. Yan Long, carrying a medicine box in one hand and slung Zhang Song over her shoulder, jumped down from the helicopter, ran over, and set Zhang Song down beside the bear.

Zhang Song, wearing a Level-4 field protective suit, shook his head, got up, put on sterile gloves, opened the medical kit, took out the medication, and immediately injected the evolved bear, then used instruments to check the evolved bear's condition.

Xia Qing noticed the evolved bear's claws and eyelids trembling, and immediately pushed Xin Yu behind Yan Long. She herself stepped forward and stood beside Zhang Song, prepared in case the bear suddenly lashed out and hurt Zhang Song.

Yan Long typed a line on her phone and showed it to Xia Qing: That helicopter only has a damaged main rotor hub. If there are spare parts, it can be repaired quickly. There is one person inside the helicopter, and an evolved wolf left outside the helicopter. What do we do?

Xia Qing had already thought it through. "Sister Yan, you and Xin Yu go back up to the helicopter, monitor the other helicopter from high altitude, don't disturb the wolf pack. After Song Ge saves the evolved bear, we'll head over to that helicopter. We'll fix it up and fly it back to Mountain 49."

These people broke into the Hui-3 Evolution Forest zone to hunt large fierce beasts. Xia Qing and Xin Yu discovered and stopped them. All their supplies and equipment are Xia Qing and Xin Yu's spoils of war.

The reason for bringing them back to Territory One instead of Three or Eight is that the Territory Alliance is not yet powerful enough, so the credit for this successful capture of poachers still has to be recorded under the Qinglong Squad.

So this batch of supplies nominally belongs to the Qinglong Squad.

Let Yang Jin take this spotlight, let Yang Jin deal with the squad behind the poachers, and let Yang Jin collect the rewards issued by the base. None of this needed to be said out loud. When Xia Qing called Yang Jin and he agreed to immediately dispatch support personnel, the two had already reached this tacit deal.

This is a good opportunity to expand the Qinglong Squad's influence, so of course Yang Jin would not refuse. As for what benefits he wants, that will have to be negotiated at the bargaining table.

Xia Qing was not at all intimidated by the prospect of crossing swords at the negotiating table with Hui-3's famously tight-fisted Iron Rooster; on the contrary, she was looking forward to it.

This helicopter, Xia Qing is determined to keep it within the Northern Zone One territory.

The straight-line distance from Northern Zone One territory to Mountain 53 is only about twenty li. The fact that Territory Seven's helicopter arrived even slower than Territory One's ground support shows that the big shot who is the lord of Territory Seven has no authority to directly order helicopters within the territory to go out on support missions.

Right now, her idol must be throwing a fit back in the territory. She won't catch any green-light wild ducks today. Xia Qing is going to bring this helicopter back to cool her idol's temper and whet her appetite.

Yan Long took Xin Yu up to the helicopter, took the pilot's seat, and told Huo Zhun to go down and protect Xia Qing and Zhang Song.

Why send Huo Zhun?

Because last winter, Huo Zhun had carried Xia Qing on his back and gone on a mission with the wolf pack, so the wolves' wariness and hostility toward him should be a little less.

Huo Zhun ran to Xia Qing's side and asked Zhang Song, "Song Ge, can this monkey still be saved?"

Zhang Song, who was treating the monk-faced monkey, answered without looking up, "Not a big problem."

"That's good." Huo Zhun stared at the big white face of the black-furred monk-faced monkey, speechless. "Good thing it's daytime. If you saw this kind of monkey in the middle of the night, your soul would fly out of your body. This thing is definitely not a native monkey of ours. It must have escaped from some zoo during the catastrophe."

"This is a species from the Ruins Continent." Zhang Song tossed in a line, telling Huo Zhun to get medicine for Xia Qing. Xia Qing had been injured by the shockwave, but these two careless guys didn't even ask a single question—one was concerned about the helicopter, the other about the monkey. Truly worthy teammates from the same squad.

"Huo Ge, open the second layer of the medicine box, take a vial from the compartment in the top-left corner and have Xia Qing take it. It's a special medicine for tinnitus, dizziness, and nausea." After hearing the cannon fire in the Evolution Forest, Zhang San, who was negotiating with the Hui-1 military, slammed down the phone, handed Zhang Song a vial of special medicine, and ordered Yan Long and Huo Zhun to set out immediately.

If the Hui-1 military hadn't dawdled and refused to send a helicopter out to rescue the fierce beasts, Xia Qing wouldn't have been injured this badly.

"Thanks." Taking the vial Huo Zhun had fetched, Xia Qing removed her protective mask, pulled down the black cloth covering her face, and drank it down in one gulp.

With no outsiders here, Xia Qing had no need to keep her face covered. She unzipped the side pocket of her protective suit, took out a tissue to wipe the sweat from her face and neck, then put her protective mask back on.

Seeing that Xia Qing's ear wasn't bleeding, Huo Zhun was relieved. He looked down at the big white-faced monk-faced monkey that had already opened its eyes and wore a blank, dazed expression, then looked up at Xia Qing's expressionless face, and then looked down at the monkey again.

Hmm…

He had made a discovery, but he didn't dare say it. He was afraid of getting punched…
