Anomaly: I Seek Survival in the Apocalypse

In the year 2048, following the fall of a meteorite to Earth, an unknown gas was emitted. Subsequently, species globally began to mutate, and humanity was no longer at the apex of the food chain. C...

Chapter Thirty: War Wolf

"Awooo—"

The sound was drawn out, carrying a hint of mournful sorrow, yet it also gave one a chilling feeling.

"It's...it's a wolf!"

Sun Muchen shuddered, his voice filled with fear.

Wang Lan was taken aback, and quickly said, "Wolf? Isn't it phosphorescence?"

Sun Muchen turned pale and slapped her thigh, "It's already howling like a wolf, what's with the phosphorescence? Ugh! I knew I was bad at biology, I can't analyze things!"

Fatty and Old Zhang, not understanding either, asked in unison, "What is a wolf?"

This is understandable, because the people present, regardless of age, have lived in this survivor safety zone since birth. Their knowledge of animals is mostly limited to those within the city. They may have heard of some common terms, such as "pervert," "as fierce as a wolf," or "the age of wolves and tigers," but they only use them in context and have never actually seen a wolf.

Sun Muchen, however, absorbed a lot of knowledge from the book because Wang Lan forced her to study every day. She explained, "Wolves are carnivores that look like dogs, but are much bigger than ordinary dogs. They are aggressive, their eyes glow at night, and they like to live in packs!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the group shivered.

In other words, they appear to be facing one wolf, but in reality, it's very likely that they are facing a pack of wolves.

Sun Muchen quickly tried to calm the group down, saying in a low voice, "Don't get excited. Be quiet and retreat little by little. Judging from the light in that wolf's eyes, it shouldn't be infected. In that case, as long as we don't make any big movements and don't attract its attention, it generally won't attack us on its own!"

Wang Lan: "..."

Old Zhang: "..."

Fatty: "..."

"Normally?" Old Zhang carefully crawled to Sun Muchen's side and asked, "What about in unusual circumstances?"

“Under unusual circumstances… then we’re doomed!” Sun Muchen said bluntly. “I read about a type of wolf in a book called the War Wolf. It’s practically invincible, and War Wolves never live in packs but act alone. It’s said that one War Wolf once wiped out an entire legion armed with firearms!”

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look towards the two points of green light. After confirming several times, they found that there were no other lights. Perhaps... what they were encountering at this moment was the War Wolf!

Old Zhang, furious, lay on the ground and exclaimed, "This is outrageous! How could something like a 'Wolf Warrior' appear in the safe zone?"

As soon as the words were spoken, an even more chilling idea surfaced in everyone's minds.

Since wolves shouldn't be in the safe zone, there's only one possibility...

"Damn it! The border wall is breached?!"

The fat man was the slowest to react, but he shouted out, immediately attracting the attention of the two green lights in the darkness.

Old Zhang cursed angrily, "Damn it, it's you again!"

Another wolf howl came from the darkness, but this time it sounded only of excitement and longing. Then, footsteps slowly began to sound, getting closer and closer.

Wang Lan drew his Vajra Umbrella and stood in front of Sun Muchen, cursing angrily, "Damn fatso, I should have killed you just now!"

He could tell that the footsteps were very singular, which meant that the one on the other side was not a pack of wolves, but a single wolf!

An invincible war wolf!

Wang Lan was well aware of what the legion represented; it was a powerful organization that existed before the anomaly occurred.

It possesses advanced firearms.

Excellent physical fitness.

An invincible fighting force!

The fact that the Wolf Warriors could wipe out an entire legion demonstrates a level of strength that I simply cannot match.

He even had a premonition of what was about to happen, so he didn't even need to use his "Bloodlust" skill. War Wolf would kill him with one blow!

In the darkness…

The figure of the Wolf Warrior slowly appeared before our eyes!

Standing on all fours, nearly half a person's height, covered in a layer of dark yellow fur, with sharp teeth exposed and a blood-red tongue sticking out of its mouth, it exuded immense pressure. The wolf's head turned slightly, staring intently at the crowd.

Old Zhang and Fatty were so frightened they didn't dare move.

Sun Muchen's hand holding the bow and arrow trembled violently.

Wang Lan's heart raced.

He felt an even stronger sense of oppression from this wolf than from the eagle!

The next moment, the Wolf Warrior moved.

He first raised his head, then pushed off the ground with all four legs and charged towards Wang Lan.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. By the time Wang Lan came to her senses, the War Wolf was already right in front of her. Its speed was terrifying, and Wang Lan could only subconsciously wave the Vajra Umbrella.

Unexpectedly, this umbrella, which exerted less than half the force of the umbrella, sent the Wolf Warrior flying.

After letting out a few "woofs," it stopped moving...

The people present were stunned.

After a while, he mustered up his courage and walked over with Wang Lan. The Vajra Umbrella poked the War Wolf and found that the War Wolf was motionless and completely dead.

"Uh..." He looked at Sun Muchen, his face full of suspicion, "Wolf Warrior???"

Sun Muchen was speechless.

Wang Lan withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhanlang again. To ensure that everything was in order, he poked it several more times, but Zhanlang remained lying there, motionless.

It seems he really is dead.

But Wang Lan, seemingly refusing to believe it, kept poking at it relentlessly.

Old Zhang couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to pull Wang Lan aside, saying, "That's enough, Wang Lan, calm down. You've already punctured its poop bag."

A pungent stench assaulted her nostrils, forcing Wang Lan to stop what she was doing. She looked at Sun Muchen with a strange expression, pointed at Zhan Lang, and said, "That's it?"

Sun Muchen looked embarrassed and said strangely, "That shouldn't be the case. I remember the books did say that the Wolf Warrior was very strong. Could those books be pirated?"

Wang Lan was speechless for a moment.

But this time, instead of blaming her, he looked at the dead wolf.

Old Zhang then walked over, squatted down, and carefully examined the dead wolf. He then looked at Wang Lan and said, "Wang Lan, do you have any thoughts on the appearance of this wolf?"

“I do have some thoughts on this,” Wang Lan said, but instead of looking at Lao Zhang, she looked at the fat man and said, “I think you must have some thoughts on this as well.”

The fat man's eyes lit up; in the darkness, the light was even brighter than that of a wolf's eyes. He nodded repeatedly.

“It seems we share the same view, the view of normal people,” Wang Lan looked at Sun Muchen and asked, “Is wolf meat edible?”

Old Zhang: "..."

His face immediately turned ashen, and he looked at Wang Lan with a strange expression.

Sun Muchen was also taken aback, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "It's edible. The book says that wolf meat and dog meat taste similar, but the meat is tougher and has a stronger fishy smell."

Wang Lan nodded repeatedly, her face beaming with joy, and said, "This wolf doesn't seem to be infected, which means we can eat its meat without worry. Look how strong it is, the meat must be very chewy!"

Old Zhang: "???"

"Comrade! You've gone astray!"
