Snowfield Shadow

The white wolf was very upset.

Cubs are very lethal wherever they are, even wolves are no exception.

The originally melancholy and cold white wolf couldn't hold it anymore. Faced with the gray wolf cubs howling in the room, the whole wolf seemed speechless and confused.

It wanted to say something but stopped, and finally it could only hide in the cave and pretend to sleep.

The audience was dying of laughter.

[Hahahahaha, this is the first time I've seen speechless on a wolf's face.]

[The original "Wolf Howling Under the Moon" was so cool, but it turned out like this, hahaha. 】

[By the way, the wolf cubs haven’t been picked up yet. Are they going to be played with by the white wolf? ]

【White Wolf: Thank you, no need. 】

White Wolf's mechanical and dull recuperation life in the shelter was completely disrupted.

As cubs, the gray wolf cubs were subconsciously in a low-class state. They would become anxious and restless when there was no leader to lead them. Even if they had no worries about food and water in the past few days, they would always huddle together like puppies, guarding against the group of strange two-legged beasts.

And now, they have finally bumped into a white wolf king who looks super powerful. They have become bolder all of a sudden. Not only do they fight with their fellow rookies for future status, they also come to the railings from time to time to show their courtesy to the king in the distance.

From time to time, a wolf's head would pop out from the narrow gap in the railing:

"Ouch~" I bit off a corner of my brother's tail~

"Aoao!" Wang, look, I can jump onto this platform!

"Woo——" Wang, I want to eat woo woo——

White Wolf: ...

So what the hell does this have to do with it?!

The white wolf doubted his life and was at a loss.

It had always behaved lazily and indifferently in the shelter, but now it was overwhelmed and could only press back the heads of every whimpering little wolf in a fierce manner, then hide behind the rockery and pretend to be deaf, with its tail drooping in exhaustion.

“Hahahahahaha.”

The surveillance camera in the room faithfully recorded this scene, which also made the people outside laugh, and dissipated a lot of the melancholy clouds of the past few days.

Everyone briefly discussed:

"Although the White Wolf did not accept it immediately, at least it did not show any intention to attack. This plan can continue."

"These gray wolf cubs are also going to be released into that area. It would be a good thing if they could get familiar with the white wolf in advance."

"Well, wait until March, then they can leave the shelter together."

This is the last North American white wolf in the world, and humans should keep it under strict supervision and protection.

However, the details of White Wolf's injury and the speculations of the research institute staff spread, triggering massive discussion among netizens around the world.

Many people do not actually have a real sense of the impending extinction of species. They only feel sad and regretful after confirming the extinction of a species.

The North American white wolf was originally one of the species and was praised as the white moonlight. It has appeared repeatedly on lists of beautiful and rare animals. Its reappearance is a miracle in itself.

In addition, the Institute recorded howling under the moon, hunting in the snow, and encountering danger in the forest...

The white wolf is smart and tenacious, but his fate is so rough.

People's sympathy for the white wolf as an individual far outweighs their desire to continue its race.

In itself, a single male cannot maintain the continuation of the race. Although the white wolf itself is still alive, the North American white wolf species is still facing the fate of extinction again.

It would be better not to torture the white wolf and let it live happily.

As long as we can leave an image of this race, it will be enough.

With such an exceptionally united spirit, the people at the research institute also treated the white wolf with the utmost tolerance. Apart from drawing a few tubes of blood from it during the initial treatment, they never tried to disturb it again, nor did they expect it to accept humans.

Even if they found that the white wolf was in poor spirits, they would just release other small animals to help it and try not to interfere with human intervention.

It seems to be working well now.

“Haha…” Vanessa laughed as she watched the awkward White Wolf in the camera. “He is indeed still an inexperienced young wolf. He doesn’t even know how to accept the little brother who came to his door.”

"It hasn't dared to bark at night these past few days, haha. Let's post this video of the white wolf's mute voice. It will definitely make those girls who were originally distressed laugh out loud."

"Well, the wound on its foot seems to have healed a lot. Can we feed it live in a few days?"

"It just so happens that we can let those cubs learn from the wolf king and start hunting training in advance."

So today, several prey were driven into the room.

Each of the prey was filled with the scent of human, and was raised to be plump and round, with hair all over its body that was shiny and oily, as if the fat would flow out with a single bite.

They didn't even have the slightest sense of crisis, and when they saw the giant beast in the room, they weren't panicked at all. Instead, they slowly walked to the railing, moving their noses and mouths around, as if they were looking for something to eat.

The white wolf narrowed his eyes.

Like this, it can only survive for about a minute in the wild.

But it did not act rashly.

Instead, he lay on the ground, staring at the group of unconscious prey with a pair of cold animal eyes. After confirming that they were indeed vulnerable even if they were contaminated with human scent, he took decisive action.

“Ahhh!”

When the white wolf was habitually biting the throat of its prey for its own amusement, it suddenly heard a noise coming from next door. Turning around, it saw several wolf cubs sticking their heads out, excitedly watching it hunting.

The white wolf paused, silently observing the different reactions of the wolf cubs. Suddenly, as if he had developed some interest, he put down the prey in his mouth, picked up another half-dead prey, walked to the railing, and put it down.

“Ouch~!”

While the other three were still confused, one of them pounced on it excitedly, using its milk teeth that had not yet grown hard to rub the gaps in its prey's body that the white wolf had just bitten, and its claws were still stomping on its prey's face.

While biting, he stole glances at the white wolf with his blue eyes. When he was discovered, he quickly lowered his eyes and pretended to be serious.

White Wolf: ...

A bit stupid, but admirable spirit.

The white wolf moved closer, leaned down, and gently touched the little wolf with its nose, which was an act of slight intimacy.

Lucky Wolf Cub:!

It was stunned for a moment, and its little tail started wagging like a puppy.

The other three:!

They also pounced on it quickly, holding the prey in their mouths and grinding their teeth in an attempt to gain the approval of the wolf king.

But it was still a step too late. When it saw the four wolf cubs approaching together, the white wolf immediately retracted its head with dignity and walked back with the prey in its mouth.

[Langlang, have you discovered the fun of raising a trumpet? Hahaha. 】

[That one is the strongest! How come the second one came up and bit first! ]

[I was raised by humans for a while before, and at that time, the competition was not based on ability but on who had a bigger appetite, haha. 】

[It's so funny. I can already see the turmoil between the four little ones. ]

“Woo——”

At night, there was a groaning sound from the next room. The white wolf looked out of the den and saw four little wolves fighting each other with all their limbs.

The little wolf, who was praised by its brother for actively biting its prey during the day, was fighting one against three people. He lay on his belly and spun around on the ground like a top, but he could not defend himself from his younger brother's claws no matter how hard he tried. A piece of the hair on his belly was pulled out.

Filled with grief and anger, it began to attack indiscriminately, attempting to bite off the air around it and suffocate its brothers.

The white wolf tilted its head, but did not go back. Instead, it lay quietly at the entrance, looked up and blinked, staring at a few noobs pecking at each other.

The big furry tail swayed gently in the moonlight for the first time.

The audience discovered that the seemingly cool White Wolf actually has a bit of a bad taste in his mouth.

After a few days, if any little wolf became arrogant in the team, the white wolf would deliberately get close to it and let it be beaten by the other three at night.

Each cub had lost a lot of hair, but they were still full of energy. During the day, they wagged their tails at the white wolf with proud expressions, and they all felt that they were the wolf king's most recognized little wolves.

Even the two skinny ones at the beginning were the same.

The audience couldn't help laughing.

[Ah~ Bad wolf, look how you fooled the child. ]

[However, it is hard to say whether Langlang did it on purpose. After all, it is normal for a wolf king to like powerful descendants (chin-lifting)]

[I can tell you weren't watching carefully. Every time I see the arrogant wolf cub being beaten up at night, the white wolf's tail will wag with joy! This guy must be doing it on purpose!!]

[I am dying of laughter. Is this the personality of Langlang? It suddenly feels much more vivid hahaha.]

[Yeah, he was just a lone wolf before, and I thought that Langlang was the cool type. ]

[But this is really cute hahaha, there is a contrast between a cool guy and a cute guy. ]

This scene was also recorded by the research institute and posted online with the title "The Test from the Wolf King."

[Hahaha, so the test is to defeat all the brothers? What a cruel test.]

[This is the first time I’ve seen a white wolf so lively. It even wagged its tail. Oh my god, the decision of the research institute is indeed correct. I hope the gray wolf cubs can successfully win the recognition of the wolf king.]

[What a sweet and terrifying test, but if the white wolf is willing to rub against me, I am also willing to beat up the other gray wolf cubs!]

[Upstairs, you just want to play with big and small ones together! Stop pretending! Let me do it! ]

For some reason, when the institute announced its plan to merge the gray wolf cubs into the white wolf team, there was a wave of opposition on the Internet.

Opponents said that they were violating the laws of nature, disrespecting the wishes of the White Wolf, and creating a hybrid monster... They were accused of this one after another and everyone in the institute was a little confused. For a moment, they didn't know whether they should continue.

Before, Vanessa’s statement that she wanted white wolves to not be afraid of humans was also criticized by them, saying that this would increase the risk of white wolves attacking humans.

Well...it's like worrying about your child spraining his ankle while running even though he can't even walk yet.

But fortunately, the gentle and calm attitude that White Wolf had always shown gave them courage and told them to continue with their plan. After all, they only needed to care about White Wolf.

What natural law? The lonely appearance of the white wolf itself is the result of human intervention! Otherwise, it would have its own population and be alive and well!

It is obviously very dangerous to let the white wolf survive alone. The white wolf seems to need a companion. I really don’t know why that group of people don’t want the white wolf to have a companion. Could they want to attack it when the white wolf is alone?

...You must be kidding. The regulations are so strict now, and the attention on White Wolf is so close, even the most profit-oriented businessman would not take the risk, right?

No matter what the outside world thinks, everything in the shelter remains calm.

Two months later, the wound on White Wolf's foot had almost healed.

During this time, it frequently looked into the distance and kept walking and jumping on the shelf, as if its tolerance for such a small space had reached its limit.

Originally, a few wolf cubs could still keep its heart, but when the wolf cubs began to be able to bite small prey, it no longer had any attachment to them.

The species itself is a giant wolf. The young wolves of two or three months old are almost as big as adult dogs. After the extremely short period of childhood, who would still have sympathy for them? This is the largest wolf in the world!

"Ooooooooo?"

A few wolf cubs were still attached to their king and gathered around the railing, calling out to the wolf king on the rockery.

Seeing that the wolf king had returned to his initial indifference, they looked at each other in bewilderment:

What's going on?

Did you make the king unhappy? !

Why is the king ignoring us again? Woohoo...

Behind the monitor, people were also discussing:

"The plan is for March, but it's getting warmer now..."

"Then should we take the white wolf's feelings into consideration and let it go in advance?"

"What should we do with the four wolf cubs? Although they have some hunting ability, they are still too small."

"Let's keep them for another month or two, at least so that the four of them can survive when they huddle together."

They just have to make that decision.

After all, compared to the attachment of the four cubs, the white wolf's yearning for freedom is what they should focus on.

That night, the white wolf watched the wolf cubs tearing each other apart as usual before going to bed, then closed his eyes and prepared to fall asleep.

Ten minutes later, its ears moved and caught a strange sound.

The sound came from the corner.

The white wolf tensed his muscles alertly, opened his eyes, and slowly moved away, only to see a mist rapidly dissipating from that place.

“Woo!”

“Ah…”

The white wolf turned his head suddenly and saw that the four cubs next to him suddenly staggered and fell to the ground.

It subconsciously planned to pick them up, but its body gradually became weak, its consciousness became dizzy, and it fell into endless darkness.

Before its consciousness completely disappeared, it saw the door that had been tightly closed was opened and several fully armed humans walked in.

It heard words it didn't understand:

"Oh my god, why are its eyes still open?!"

"His eyes aren't moving, so he must be dizzy. Is this big guy naturally resistant to drugs?"

"It seems that there is still a big difference between gray wolves and white wolves. I guess similar data will have to be increased in dosage. It would be great if we could study it..."

"Hiss, its claws suddenly moved! Don't talk nonsense!"

"It can't still hear us, can it? Ah, we are going to send you home, please don't hate us."

go home……

The white wolf's eyelids moved, and finally closed, causing the humans to exclaim again.

My consciousness struggled in the endless darkness, and it took an unknown amount of time before it surfaced.

When he opened his eyes again, White Wolf woke up in a cage with the door open.

Without a second thought, it jumped out of the cage, stepped on the still-melted spring snow, and ran towards the familiar wasteland without looking back.

The three-month tour of human society is over, and the next step is the story in the wasteland

Damn internship, six major failures, I'll have to save up some manuscripts this month... But after that it will be fine, after all, as long as you have enough time in college, there won't be any problems ()
