The silver lines converged into a dot in the golden pupil, and then suddenly expanded. So in his sight, the scene five hundred meters away suddenly zoomed in, and Ling clearly saw an adult corpse wolf sticking out its tongue, resting on the back of the rock.
That's Sentinel.
Zero knew that in front of this corpse wolf, there were dozens of packs of corpse wolves wandering in the wilderness.
Carrion wolves are mutated wild wolves infected by eating carrion and corpses. The wild wolves who couldn't survive the virus invasion died one after another, and those who survived turned into the current vicious beast with the smell of corpses, gray hair and blood red eyes. Although corpse wolves feed on corpses, Zero knows that they prefer fresh flesh and blood.
Zero, who has been hunting corpse wolves for three days, has a deep understanding of this.
For the breath of fresh flesh and blood, the corpse wolf's sense of smell is extremely developed. After repeated experiments by Zero, it was determined that the olfactory limit of a corpse wolf was around 400 meters, which also allowed Zero to define his best shooting distance.
Naturally, the M500 in Zero's hand doesn't have that much range. Besides, this almost extinct large-caliber firearm has not been reproduced, so there is no matching noise reduction equipment. If Ling went hunting with a pistol, he might attract the attention of all the corpse wolves within a few kilometers with just one shot.
For this reason, Zero specially purchased a sniper rifle in the arsenal.
This is an old SVD sniper rifle, a sniper rifle designed and improved by the former Soviet Union Dragunov. It uses 7N1 bullets, the maximum power range is within 600 meters, but with the cooperation of Zero Golden Eye, it can exert the power of effective killing within a thousand meters. It's just that this type of sniper rifle has been eliminated in the new era. Today, the "Falcon" series of sniper rifles started by the large arms company Manteos are commonly used, such as the Falcon N-1 used by Allen. The first gun of this series.
However, even the first-generation guns, with the use of high-precision semi-automatic sights and the latest sniper equipment, can reach an effective range of 1,500 meters.
In normal terms, the power and range of the new sniper rifle are about 2.5 times that of Zero's SVD.
But on the other hand, because it is a type of gun that is facing elimination, the sniper rifle of Zero is relatively cheap. Mason, the administrator of the armory, only sold it for 50 yuan, and also gave a base amount of ammunition as a gift. Anyway, this type of gun will be sent back to the Parkland headquarters for recycling and destruction at the end of the year. Mason sold one of them to Zero on the principle of earning nothing.
And this sniper rifle has also undergone some special modifications of Zero's own, such as a specially extended barrel, which makes this SVD sniper rifle nondescript. Through modification, with the cooperation of Zero's golden right eye, the firearms that cost only 50 yuan can exert the power and range equivalent to the original falcon gun that costs 300 yuan.
During the three days of hunting, Zero kept getting familiar with the operation of the sniper rifle in his hand, and the corpse wolves all over the mountains and plains were his best practice targets.
Today, zero hunting is no longer a group of lone corpse wolves. He found a pack of no fewer than fifty adult males and twenty females and pups of varying sizes. It was discovered by accident while hunting a few male wolves yesterday, and Ling decided to take the wolf den today.
After the corpse wolves form a group, their danger is far different from that of single-digit corpse wolves. Carcasses that travel in groups are more dangerous, and because of the presence of female wolves, their reproduction will be beyond imagination. By this time next year, Zero believes that the number of corpse wolves will double.
In sight, the sentinel who was resting on his stomach started to move, which meant that the wolves had moved again.
With a sniper rifle on his back, Zero disappeared silently behind the cover like a ghost, hanging the group of corpse wolves far away at a constant speed of ten kilometers per hour.
Even after running like this for a day, Zero will not feel tired. The first-order strength enhancement that somehow appeared two years ago allowed Zero to have enough physical strength, and the evolution point that was not triggered by targeted potions also naturally transformed into the first-order agility enhancement ability. Speed is far more important than strength and defense for a gunner. So Zero is quite satisfied with this ability.
The first level of agility enhancement allowed Zero's speed limit to reach a speed of sixty kilometers per hour. And it also comes with other related small abilities, including a sharper response, which are the basic conditions for Zero to be able to wander alone in the wilderness.
Zero and the pack of wolves maintained a distance of about a kilometer.
He is looking for a suitable battlefield.
In front of him was the wilderness one kilometer away from the base. The plain landform here was not suitable for fighting wolves. The wide terrain will greatly increase the space for the wolves to move, and Zero's sniper rifle is a single-shot firearm, which means that he cannot form a powerful firepower network with sufficient battery life.
Once the wolves were brought within a range of zero or three hundred meters, that would be his time of death.
The first level of defense enhancement is not enough to resist the fangs of the corpse wolf that can bite the steel plate with its mouth. In this era, humans are evolving, but beasts are evolving faster.
So Zero is waiting for the opportunity, he is very patient and has time. In order to hunt this group of corpse wolves, he prepared three days of rations, which was enough for Zero to travel back and forth in the wilderness within a thousand kilometers from the base.
In fact, zero doesn't need to go that far. In his mind, the map within a radius of 500 kilometers of the base was clear. Zero knew that there was a natural canyon ten kilometers away from the base. Two years ago, he passed through that long and narrow canyon when he went to Silvertree City to carry out his mission. Except for the road that is still barely passable, the rest of the place is full of strange rocks and countless shelters. For zero, there is the most suitable battlefield.
The route of the wolves is heading towards the canyon.
Zero had never doubted his own judgment, and when it was nearly noon, the canyon was in sight, which confirmed Zero's thoughts.
Judging from the movement of the wolves, this group of corpse wolves is preparing to migrate long distances. The nearby wilderness has no more food to provide them with what they need to survive. If they want to survive, they must leave here and find a more ideal place.
But the wolves didn't know, and Zero didn't intend to let them go. If one of these beasts can be reduced, the people who wander helplessly in the wilderness will be less dangerous. This is an era of competition. In addition to competing with the same kind, people also compete with wild beasts and monsters for living space.
Either you die, or I die!
