Chapter 212: Attacking an outpost

Chapter 212 Attacking an outpost

Ever since the wolves arrived at this mountain, they had not clashed with humans. Without the threat of humans in the wilderness, the resources of the natural world were able to grow abundantly. As such, the wolves did not lack any food here.

So, for a time, Ren Xiaosu thought the wolves were nonviolent and peace-loving animals.

But at this moment, he remembered the reason he managed to acquire the first gun in his life some time ago was because the wolves had attacked the factory outside town, as well as Stronghold 113’s private troops.

Ren Xiaosu had already known there was a long-standing feud between the wolves and Stronghold 113’s private troops. But he never expected the wolves would actually seek to attack the Li Consortium’s combat troops as well.

It seemed like the soldiers in the truck driving slowly down the mountain did not realize danger was approaching. Even though Li Qingzheng and the others saw the wolves, none of them dared to act rashly. On one hand, they were worried the wolves would wipe out everyone at their outpost. But on the other hand, since the Lord of Wolves of Mount Kun had not said anything yet, they did not know what to do either.

Li Qingzheng said, “It’s none of our business and there’s nothing much we can do about it anyway, so let’s just pretend that we never saw anything.”

Seeing that the wolves did not seem to be interested in their outpost, Li Qingzheng decided to bury his head in the sand. The soldiers of the Li Consortium had never treated them nicely before anyway, so why care about their lives?

Li Qingzheng sent everyone back into their houses. “Stop watching. This pack of wolves might be just coming out for a stroll?”

Then Li Qingzheng went back to his house first and shivered in fear while holding his automatic rifle close to him. With so many wolves out there, it would be too easy for them to wipe out the outpost.

He suddenly felt that it couldn’t be more stimulating than to have been deployed to this outpost. They could eat meat with their meals every day, yet had to live in constant fear as well. Who knew when it would be before the wolves came to attack them and carry them away in their mouths?

Ren Xiaosu also pretended to be afraid as he walked back to his house. But taking a sweeping glance, he realized there were not as many wolves as he had thought. It looked like only a portion of them were roaming around now.

Back in the house, Ren Xiaosu said to Chen Wudi, “Wudi, watch over everyone for me. Don’t let anyone into the house before I get back. If anything unexpected happens, just say that I have diarrhea and needed to go to the toilet.”

As a result of their smaller group of ten, one-third of the entire platoon at the outpost were their people. Therefore, all of them had been grouped together when they were assigned their living quarters. This was also what Ren Xiaosu fought for at the beginning, because it would be more convenient for him to go out on his own with this arrangement, and it would only work if he was surrounded by people he could trust.

The students were already used to this since their class monitor was always able to take care of himself anyway. Although Li Qingzheng kept proclaiming himself the Lord of Wolves of Mount Kun, Ren Xiaosu was actually the true Lord of Wolves to them.

Ren Xiaosu jumped out the window and ran all the way to the foot of the mountain. He did not have a specific purpose and just wanted to see how things would turn out. Along the way, he would also try to get his hands on some nanomachines.

In a world like this, Ren Xiaosu was interested in anything that could enhance his strength further. Who cared if they were superstitions?

After acquiring some nanomachines, Ren Xiaosu could not help but summon them for testing while performing his sentry duty alone atop the mountain. In the process, Ren Xiaosu discovered that even if he did not let the nanomachines enter his body to strengthen his muscles and skeletal structure, they were still powerful enough to be used as an external suit of armor. Perhaps he could really achieve a state of invulnerability when this suit of armor covered his entire body.

What were the things that supernatural beings were most afraid of at the start? It was not the threat of other supernatural beings, but the individual firearms currently in the possession of human civilization! No matter how powerful supernatural beings were, they would still die after getting shot a few times.

The soldiers in the military transport truck were chatting happily as the truck made its way down the mountain. Since the officer was not sitting with them in the back, they started talking without restraint.

“I’ll be returning to the stronghold next week for my shift off of leave. I wonder if the mistress I keep misses me yet,” a soldier laughed as he leaned against the wall of the compartment. Although life as a private army soldier was very miserable, the Li Consortium’s combat troops had always been treated very well.

The Li Consortium’s combat troops lived in the stronghold while they were not on duty. When the members of the Public Order Division and private troops saw them, they would always detour around them.

However, discipline within the organization had always been upheld very strictly, and they were forbidden from disturbing others.

“Debauchery is forbidden in the military. You should be careful not to let anyone know about her,” one of the soldiers reminded him.

“What’s there to be afraid of?” The soldier said disdainfully, “Even the Li Consortium’s officers themselves don’t refrain from doing that, so as if they would care about such things.”

In any organization, the higher-ups would set the example for their subordinates to follow. If the higher-ups were religious, the subordinates would also have to be religious. Even if they did not believe in it, they would have to pretend like they did.

If the higher-ups behaved themselves, the subordinates would also conduct themselves with restraint.

With a large number of the Li Consortium’s residents conscripted into the army, an extravagant and impetuous air had spread through the ranks of the Li Consortium’s combat troops over the past two years.

Ultimately, the Li Consortium had expanded its strength too quickly as the foundation was not yet properly established.

As the group chatted, they did not notice the approaching danger.

However, the wolves did not choose to attack immediately as they just followed the truck quietly in the wilderness. Only Ren Xiaosu knew that wolves were one of the most patient species among the animals in the wilderness.

As the wolves followed the Li Consortium’s combat troops, Ren Xiaosu tracked the wolves. They kept moving slowly for dozens of kilometers until the Li Consortium’s platoon arrived at the next outpost.

At this moment, the wolves suddenly launched an attack as fast as lightning just as the military transport truck entered the outpost!

Ren Xiaosu silently observed from a distance as the Li Consortium’s combat troops responded rapidly. In a mere three seconds, they had already formed an effective defensive formation. The entire outpost was filled with loud gunshots while the private troops at the outpost were dumbfounded. They had no inkling of what was going on!

This time, Ren Xiaosu was watching the entire attack by the wolves as an onlooker. During the shootout, some of the wolves acted as the advance party to draw the opponent’s firepower onto them while making high-speed movements to avoid getting shot. Simultaneously, some of the other wolves had circled around and arrived at the rear of the Li Consortium’s combat troops while everyone was distracted.

During this time, the Wolf King discovered Ren Xiaosu’s presence on multiple occasions. But it did not seem bothered by him as it continued its hunt. Under normal circumstances, the wolves would give up hunting as a precaution upon encountering any external interference.

The Li Consortium’s combat troops were only here because they had to investigate the disappearance of the two officers and had not expected such a fierce battle to break out. Although they were very combat oriented, the wolves had an overwhelming advantage over them in terms of strength and numbers.

Furthermore, Ren Xiaosu was not surprised to see that the wolves were able to quickly recover after getting shot. Their physical fitness was simply too good
