The limit field of view of the mechanical sight is 600 meters, but with the cooperation of Zero Gold's right eye, the distance is infinitely close. So Ling easily saw a corpse wolf a thousand meters away, and the crosshair of the sight appeared on the forehead of this beast.
Zero calculates and corrects for ballistic errors. Then lightly pulled the trigger, and in an instant, the corpse wolf in the scope was shaken violently, most of its head was knocked off by the impact of the sniper bullet, and the whole wolf body fell to the ground weakly.
The canyon is quiet and silent, and the sound of sniper equipment has long been silenced by the muffler.
Zero left the huge boulder as a cover, picked up the sniper rifle, and moved towards the wolf corpse like a ghost. His movements were gentle and quick, the canyon was like a sleeping monster, unaware of the arrival of Zero, the unexpected guest.
Zero didn't deliberately hide his figure, this was the third sentinel he killed. No new sentries will appear until the wolves find out the abnormality. Zero pushed his speed to the limit, and his first-order agility enhancement allowed him to move forward at a constant speed of 60 kilometers per hour, and the kilometer distance was reached in an instant.
One minute later, he was already standing beside the wolf corpse. Zero squatted down, picked out a fang from the upper jaw of the corpse wolf with a fine steel dagger, and put it into the rucksack behind him. There were two other fangs lying quietly in the rucksack, and each fang represented the life of a corpse wolf, which was a proof of zero exchange for mission rewards. Today, there will be more such credentials.
Zero moved silently, he slid down a stone ditch, climbed over boulders, jumped over cracks in the ground, and finally came behind a rock. The side of the rock exposed to the sun is exuding high heat. Even if he hides in the backlight, Zero can still feel the heat emitted by the stone. He was wearing a gray-brown protective suit, and the color of the suit looked like the mountain of rocks from a distance, serving as a cover.
The strong ultraviolet rays in the sun can cook an egg, but Zero just feels a little hotter, but there is not a single sweat bead on his face. This kind of physique that seems to be able to automatically adjust the temperature, Zero attributed it to the accessory of the supernatural ability.
The wind blows from behind the stone, bringing the smell of corpse wolf. Zero was not in a hurry to act, he was waiting, waiting for the energetic male wolves below to rest. Zero will create a small landslide in an attempt to kill the pack of beasts as much as possible. As for the single ones, there is zero confidence that they will not be able to escape the shooting range of the sniper rifle.
For this, Zero started the movement.
With a silent movement, he buried the guns one by one into the rock pile. The weight of the gun and the angle of the explosion have been accurately calculated, and he has already simulated what will happen after the explosion in his mind. A large number of falling rocks will fall on the wolves before they can react. This sudden attack can at least cause the wolves to lose nearly 80% of their numbers, and the rest will naturally have zero sniper rifles to greet them.
When the last tree was buried, Zero smelled something strange.
It smelled of blood, very fresh, and exuded some other smells. The smell is neither smelly nor fragrant, and I can't tell what it feels like. Obviously, Zero has no memory of this smell in his head. On the contrary, it was the smell of blood that formed the image of a corpse wolf in Zero's mind.
However, it was a corpse wolf that had been disembowelled.
This place is upwind, so the smell is not detected by the wolves below the canyon. And if it wasn't zero, he wouldn't even notice it.
Zero withdrawal of the dagger, at close range, the sniper rifle is far less useful than the dagger. He is like a cheetah, his slender and flexible body is full of explosive power, making Zero enough to deal with any sudden danger.
Under the guidance of the smell, Zero bypassed a rock, but there was a cave in front of him.
The smell of blood came from the cave.
On the sand outside the cave, Zero found traces of dragging. And on some of the nearby rocks, there are some sharp and disorderly nicks. Ling lay on the ground, and the smell of the corpse wolf immediately entered his nose. He frowned, and walked cautiously towards the cave. Not long after walking, a pile of gray-white hair on the sand came into Zero's eyes.
He could already imagine what kind of scene it was.
A corpse wolf was forcibly dragged into a cave by an unknown creature and slaughtered. Judging from the depth of the marks on the sand and the claw marks left on the rock, it should be a male wolf. Only adult male wolves have enough weight to conform to the marks on the ground, and have huge strength and sharp claws that can leave clear claw marks on rocks.
And Ling couldn't imagine what could capture an adult corpse wolf alive. With Ling's understanding of the new era, in the memory bank of his mind, only the butchers he met in Silverwood City had this qualification.
However, there were no other traces on the sand except for the traces of the corpse wolf. This shows that the thing that catches the wolf corpse will not be very big and light in weight, otherwise something will be left behind.
The dagger in his hand tightened.
When Zero walked into the cave, the skin under the protective suit felt like a pinprick tingling. That was a dangerous signal. In Zero's golden right eye, the silver stripes immediately concentrated, clearly reflecting the scene in the cave in Zero's eyes.
The cave is not big, but the walls are covered with blood. The belly of an adult male wolf was ripped open, intestines and viscera were all over the floor, and some of them were trampled into meat paste, mixed with sand and gravel. Under the wolf corpse, blood pooled into a puddle. Judging from the consistency of the blood, the death time of the male wolf definitely did not exceed 10 minutes.
And during this time, Zero has been laying guns nearby, but he didn't realize that the killing was by his side at all.
He got goosebumps.
Zero's sensitivity to danger has always been very high, and this time the killing was happening around him, but he was completely unknown, but it was the first time.
He opened the wolf corpse's wound with a dagger, and frowned even more. The muscles on the surface of the wound showed irregular fractures, which were obviously not injured by a sharp instrument, but were torn apart by a huge force. Seeing this, Zero carefully stood up, turned around and was about to leave. He decided to give up this hunt. When there was an unknown and huge danger nearby, Zero didn't think he still had the heart to kill a group of corpse wolves.
When I turned to leave, I stepped on something under my feet. The touch of the foreign object made Zero stop, he lowered his head and saw an iron plate falling into the bloody mud at his feet.
Zero picked it up, and a line of English was engraved on the thumb-sized iron piece. It's just that the English language has been severely worn out, and Zero only saw the two letters "HA". I don't know what this means, but there is no doubt that there will be something engraved with an English brand, and it will definitely not be a corpse wolf or any other beast. That could be a person, a person who can tear a full-grown male wolf apart with his bare hands!
Throwing the sign into his rucksack, Zero left the cave. As soon as his front feet stepped on the sand outside the cave, Zero heard the screams of corpse wolves coming from below. Zero's heart tightened, and lightning rushed forward. He hid behind a rock and looked down.
Blood flowed like a river!
A bunch of corpse wolves were lying on the ground in disorder, and their corpses were full of strange things. Some had their stomachs torn open, some had their entire heads twisted off and turned sideways, some were strangled to death by the large intestine pulled out of their own bodies, and some had weird twists in their limbs. This was simply an unequal massacre. Judging from the bloody method, the murderer should belong to the same person who killed the corpse wolf in the cave.
The roar of corpse wolves was heard in the distance, and Lingyao saw a figure at the end of the canyon where a dozen adult male wolves were besieging. Zero changed his sight range, and when he caught that figure, the battle was over.
There is no doubt that it is a person. It's just that he held a wolf carcass in his hand to cover his face, so Ling couldn't see his appearance clearly. All I saw was that he grabbed the wolf's head and neck with both hands, and then separated the body with force.
The wolf corpse was thrown away by him, but it was thrown in the direction of Zero, occupying Zero's field of vision. When the wolf carcass fell to the ground, the man had disappeared.
Ten minutes later, Zero appeared on the scene.
He didn't dare to come over rashly, and his body with a first-order defense enhancement couldn't withstand the huge force of the opponent who could tear apart the corpse wolf at will. So after judging that there was no danger, Zero approached cautiously. He quickly checked the scene, except for the pieces of meat all over the floor, Ling couldn't find anything of value.
He ignored the corpse wolf, Zero left the canyon, and ran towards the base at the fastest speed. He had to report everything he saw to Old Jack to know that such a dangerous humanoid creature appeared near the base, obviously this was not an ordinary situation.
When there was still about one kilometer away from the base, Zero suddenly stopped.
Just on the side of the road, a corpse wolf fell in a pool of blood, its limbs were still swollen, obviously it had just died not long ago, and its nerves had not completely stopped moving.
Zero felt more dangerous in his heart.
That thing is approaching the base!
