Snowfield Shadow
For the people in the research institute, the white wolf's separation from the population is a bad thing, but for some people who have been dormant here for a long time, this is great news.
They waited for half a year and finally found the opportunity.
Ever since the White Wolf appeared, there has been a bounty on it in the dark, and as its popularity has grown, the number has continued to increase, and now it is large enough for a group of people to take legal and moral risks to give it a try.
They originally planned to strike when White Wolf was not well-known.
But not long after, the white wolf was accidentally injured while chasing prey and was sent to a shelter for three months.
At the end of March, they heard that the people in the research institute wanted to integrate the white wolf into the wolf pack. They took advantage of the situation to mobilize public opinion on the Internet to express opposition, and at the same time stepped up their arrangements, intending to catch the white wolf while it was still alone.
Then, the white wolf started to carry the camera in its mouth and throw it around in the wilderness, asking the research institute to clear up the strange smell.
Their smell seemed to be particularly disgusting to the white wolf. Even if they took away the equipment in time, the white wolf would still drop cameras in the woods where they stayed. Even if they found nothing, it would repeat this several times, forcing them to give up.
Okay, okay, what a smart little animal.
Perhaps it sensed the white fur of its species hanging on the walls of their homes? Or knew that the traps used to catch it had been filled with the blood of other white wolves?
It doesn’t matter, it will soon be reunited with its long-awaited relatives.
A family of wolves, neat and tidy.
They found that White Wolf would not be suspicious of the institute, and when the institute expanded, they found an opportunity to blend in. They installed additional signal processors in the surveillance area they were responsible for. As long as White Wolf walked in, no one would know what happened.
Even so, the white wolf seemed to be aware of their presence... but fortunately, it remained cautious and did not show any strange attitude towards the objects with the aura of a research institute.
Another winter came. They waited for half a year and finally got a chance to take action.
If they wait any longer, until the four little wolves grow into adult wolves, the combined power of five giant wolves will be enough to scare them even if they have guns.
Now is the best time.
"Bang——"
Aim for the bullseye, pull the trigger, and hit the target.
Although his employer required him to take the victim alive, he preferred to kill him with a single shot.
Unfortunately, I can only use anesthesia this time.
Survival of the fittest.
He was playing with the gun in his hand, his eyes filled with strange excitement and a hint of blood.
If he were to ask, since those people say they want to respect nature, why do they still want to protect the white wolf? Even if it is exterminated by humans, isn't it because it is inferior to humans and deserves to die? Isn't it also part of nature that humans are at the top of the food chain and can decide the life and death of other species?
Therefore, he felt no guilt about his plan to kill the world's last North American white wolf.
He firmly believed that all this was the law of nature.
Click.
Click.
It was snowing outside, and the White Wolf lay in his cave, motionless, with a gloomy look on his face.
[What's wrong, Wolf? Even if you're angry, you still have to eat. Aren't you going hunting tonight? ]
[The smarter the animal, the more prone it is to depression. Alas, the situation I was most worried about has finally happened.]
[I still think that we shouldn’t have accepted the other gray wolves in the first place. The four naive people didn’t feel anything, but for the white wolf, it was like his living space was being squeezed out…]
[Can you please turn the camera to the four little ones? I want to know what they are doing now. ]
[White Wolf has been raising them for a year, he won't just leave... Why hasn't he come back yet? ? ]
The camera split the screen very sensibly. Next to the crouching white wolf, four little wolves were huddled together in the woods, sniffing with their noses, as if they were looking for something.
Looking for prey?
As the audience was thinking about it, they saw a little wolf howling happily the next second, calling its companions to come over, and then picked up what it had found in one bite.
——But it was not the hare that the audience expected, but a stone.
[Huh?]
【What is this doing? 】
[No, I wasn't so useless before. I would just find a stone after smelling it for a long time? ]
However, instead of showing disdain for the little wolf as the audience might have expected, the other three little wolves just as excitedly jumped and rubbed its noses to show encouragement.
So, at night, instead of hunting, they were looking for rocks? ?
Sharp-eyed viewers pointed out that this was not a stone, but a camera disguised as a stone.
The audience was even more confused.
[What do you mean? So it is imitating the white wolf holding the camera to ask for help from humans? ]
[I feel like it’s possible…hiss, are these four little ones so smart? Or did White Wolf teach them well?]
[Will the research institute come to take care of the little wolves? But I think the four of them can survive if they stay together.]
The narrator interrupts at this point:
"Although they were misunderstood and expelled, everyone did not lose heart. They recalled his daily behavior and prepared gifts to apologize even if they were hungry."
I thought I had guessed the truth, but the narration's words made the audience confused again.
[What? ? ]
[Oh, I remember that after the four little ones came, the white wolf would occasionally patrol with a camera in its mouth.]
[So the four kids thought that the white wolf liked the camera, so they wanted to use this to please it? ? ]
[…Fuck, it shocked me for the whole year. ]
The white wolf has always been smart, and the audience has long been accustomed to its delicate mind.
But what the audience could not have imagined was that the four little ones who always looked silly actually had such rich little thoughts.
They thought that the best outcome was that the four little ones were unwilling to leave after being expelled and tried to return.
As a result, even if the four little ones had to endure hunger and not go hunting, they were still thinking about finding something the white wolf liked to comfort it.
This is actually not in line with the instincts of ordinary wolves.
They are already one year old, strong and healthy, and there are four brothers. Logically, after being expelled, they should form their own wolf pack and live happily on their own.
Instead of being like now, like a home-loving whiny guy, trying hard to pick out a gift for Wang Shunmao.
In the face of the most urgent need of survival, they chose a higher level of spiritual needs - maintaining the family.
[Ah, this is a two-way rush! White Wolf, come and take a look, these four kids are really working hard. 】
[Your mind is not that of an ordinary wolf... After this reunion, I believe nothing will change. ]
[Go ahead, Straight Ball Wolf Cub! Show me a happy ending, woooooo.]
"roar!"
“Ouch——!”
The white wolf, who had been lying quietly in the cave with no intention of hunting, suddenly looked up.
The two cries that entered its ears, one came from the wolf cub, and the other came from an animal it did not know.
Something seems to have happened to a little wolf.
The white wolf stood up subconsciously, then tried to lie down again.
After a few seconds, it paced around the cave a little restlessly, and finally followed its inner thoughts, jumped out of the cave, and ran towards the source of the sound.
Ouch?
At the same time, in the other half of the screen in the live broadcast room, the little wolf who was holding the camera tilted his head in confusion and nudged another little wolf next to him with his head.
—Dude, there’s a wolf whose voice sounds like yours.
The little wolves looked at each other, and when they were puzzled, they moved their ears and suddenly heard the call of the white wolf in the distance: "Woo——"
Little wolves: ? ?
They naturally heard the soothing meaning of the wolf king's cry to the little wolf, and they couldn't help but get angry -
Damn it, which bastard wolf cub imitated their calls to deceive the king!
As expected, none of the gray wolves are good! !
First they tricked them into joining the wolf pack to make the king angry, and now they are taking advantage of the situation and trying to replace them! !
Awww!
They no longer hesitated and rushed towards the king with the camera in their mouths.
Audience:?
【Oh, not wait a minute? 】
[Who is calling White Wolf? These four have something in their mouths but they are not calling.]
[Oh my god, a ghost story! Could it be a bad guy? ]
[Ahhh no no no no, this is the last white wolf. If anything happens I will really explode!!]
[How dare you? Aren't there cameras in every area of the institute? And hasn't the White Wolf Protection Act been passed? ]
[Maybe they are planning to lure the white wolf into a blind spot? But don’t worry, the four little wolves are each taking a camera...]
[Hahahahaha, this is an unexpected solution! Go ahead, wolf cubs! ]
[By the way, isn't it enough for the wolf cubs to just shout and expose the fakery? ]
[! To be honest, I didn’t think of it until you mentioned it, so maybe I wouldn’t think of it when the four little ones are holding something in their mouths…? ]
Da da da——
The white wolf was very fast and soon arrived at the source of the sound.
Looking at the dense forest that it once disliked, it hesitated briefly, but thinking of the little wolf crying in pain, the white wolf still walked in.
The journey was smooth all the way until it reached an open space in the center of the woods, where it stopped.
Apart from the initial sound, there was no fresh remaining smell of the little wolf here, as if everything was just an illusion.
The deeper they went into the forest, the more ominous the feeling became. The white wolf breathed in through its mouth, couldn't stop sniffing, and made short whimpering sounds, all of which expressed its inexplicable anxiety and uneasiness at the moment.
It turned around and wanted to leave immediately.
Bang!
A sound like thunder suddenly exploded in front of it. The white wolf was frightened and subconsciously changed direction and ran inside.
After regaining its senses, it quickly realized that it had probably been ambushed and should not go any deeper, and immediately wanted to change direction.
Bang!
But a well-placed shot landed on its path, forcing it to move inside.
After being teased like this for a few times, the white wolf suddenly stopped where he was, breathing rapidly and fluctuating, as if he was thinking hard.
If it were an ordinary small animal, it would definitely be scared out of its wits by the gunshot and run straight towards the final trap.
But the white wolf was smart, and after several close calls with bullets that were only used to intimidate it, it suddenly realized that perhaps the mastermind behind the incident would not really shoot it.
So when he tried to turn around again and was warned by gunfire, the White Wolf was not scared. Instead, he tensed his muscles and continued to run towards the exit desperately.
"...Wow, you're really smart."
The man hiding in the tree was a little surprised, then he laughed: "But I like to see such smart animals despair."
Da Da——
The white wolf ran very fast. Although it had just consumed a lot of energy, its will to survive did not allow it to relax at all.
Close to the exit.
Closer.
The chance to survive is right before your eyes.
“Boom!”
Just a few steps away, a huge net suddenly fell from the sky with iron balls tied to each corner, pinning the white wolf to the ground, making it unable to move.
“Ouch…”
The white wolf tried to struggle and tear open the net that trapped it, but it was completely useless and could only lower its head.
The footsteps of several humans behind him were slowly approaching, and despair gradually filled the white wolf's eyes.
【Fuck! 】
【Ahhhhhhhh you have such a dark heart I hate you so much go die!!】
[Damn it, there are surveillance cameras in this place, how dare he do that?! ]
[Help, help, someone come quickly, does anyone know the situation here...]
【Four little wolves have arrived!!】
“Ahhhhh!!”
Just as the syringe was about to hit the white wolf, four gray shells suddenly shot out and hit several people fiercely.
After knocking several people to stagger, they did not want to fight anymore, but hurried back to the wolf king who was lying on the ground. While baring their teeth at the humans fiercely, they did not forget to turn back and whimper to comfort the king.
The white wolf had its eyes closed originally, but when it heard the movements of the little wolves, it opened its eyes again.
Its breathing was rapid and it growled a few times.
But it was not a thank you or a request for help, but a drive away.
"Ouch?"
The four little ones shrank their necks. Although they felt a little aggrieved, they still stubbornly stayed beside the white wolf and confronted the humans opposite.
“Woo——”
The white wolf closed his eyes tiredly.
Of course, it was not still worried about the separation of species at this time, but wanted the four little wolves to escape quickly.
The people on the opposite side are not taking action now because they are afraid of the wolves, but once the last hunter with a gun arrives, they will no longer be afraid.
The situation was at a stalemate.
The wolf pack looked ferocious, but they were just bluffing. The big white wolf, which was good at fighting, was trapped in the net, and the four little wolves were only one year old and had no coordination skills at all.
The humans knew this very well, but they didn't want to take any risks, so they waited for the last person to return to the team.
Anyway, the ending is already decided, so there is nothing to worry about.
Is it really so?
"Teacher! Four cameras went black for unknown reasons!!"
Late at night, a staff member discovered something unusual.
First, a few little wolves picked out the cameras, attracting the attention of a group of netizens who were surfing late at night.
For this reason alone, netizens can only sigh that Bai Lang taught well by example.
But soon, the camera began to change rapidly, and the four little wolves started running at the same time from a certain moment. The overhead camera showed that they were chasing the white wolf.
Weird, a little weird.
But if you insist on making it round, it's understandable.
The white wolf had been hungry for most of the night and suddenly wanted to hunt. He called out in the middle of the hunt, letting the four little wolves know his location, and then the four little wolves hurried back to the team.
The staff stared at the white wolf's trajectory and the cameras along the way, fearing that something might happen to it.
Everything was normal along the way, and the footage of the area that the white wolf entered shortly afterwards also showed normal images. It hunted as usual and wandered in the woods, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.
It was not until the four little wolves approached with the cameras in their mouths and the four lenses went black at the same time that people realized something was wrong.
There must be something wrong with that area!!
Without even applying for permission from above, the institute immediately organized a team, borrowed military power, and rushed to the area in a panic.
What are you trying to do? Use fake video to disguise the real-time footage?
Just thinking about the possible reasons, the experts who have been observing the White Wolf for a whole year are suffocated.
Along the way, everyone was cursing:
"Damn, there are those damn human supremacists."
"Short-sighted! You are a jerk who only has money in his eyes!!"
"After tonight, I need to recheck the backgrounds of all researchers!"
As soon as they got out of the car and grabbed their equipment, they heard a gunshot in the woods.
The wolves had no reinforcements, and their stubborn wait for the wolf king seemed to be in vain.
Because the enemy reinforcements have arrived.
"Why are they here?"
The gunman frowned. "They are also under the attention of the research institute. They won't attract anyone, right? What are you waiting for? Why are you waiting for me to come without doing anything?"
“Woo woo…”
Smelling the familiar scent, the white wolf, which had originally closed its eyes, began to call out again. Having been trapped motionless for a long time, this time its voice was very low and light, almost gently advising the other little wolves to leave quickly.
The four little wolves tried hard to respond to it. They used their bodies to shield the king from the wind and snow and gently licked his slightly cold cheeks. They still had no intention of leaving.
"Tsk, that's really affectionate."
The gunman feels a bit awkward.
If they had shot the four little wolves directly, leaving behind corpses and blood, then they would have been poached. With the current global attention to white wolves, even if they hid their tails well, they would still be at risk of being caught.
But if the white wolf disappeared quietly, coupled with the dispute that broke out among the wolf pack a day ago, they could easily manipulate public opinion to lead the fact that "the white wolf became disappointed and left on his own", and there would be no risk of being investigated.
Anyway, no one has ever found a white wolves before the age of two, which proves that white wolves can indeed escape to a place where humans cannot find them.
It was all planned well...
The gunman squinted his eyes and looked at the four little wolves that were closely following the white wolf in front of him. He couldn't think of any good strategy for a moment, so he decided to scare them first.
Bang!
To animals, the sound of gunfire was like thunder landing near the paws of the four little wolves. They pricked up their ears in fright and became agitated for a while, but in the end they did not run away.
Oh, there's hope. Just scare them a little more.
The gunman aimed closer, put his finger on the trigger, and pulled.
“Bang!”
The gunshot rang out, but it exploded on his own shoulder.
He was hit by the huge force and staggered to the ground. His hand loosened and the gun fell to the ground.
The four little wolves turned their heads vigilantly and looked at another force that appeared in the forest.
Another group of people who appeared in full gear first looked at the five people huddled together for warmth in the snow with sadness and regret, then shouted at the poachers in the forest with MAX anger:
"Damn it, you're going to be arrested soon!!"
In fact, I have been laying the groundwork for the villain very early, including the repeated misjudgments of Wolf, the aura that made it dislike, and some weird opinions on the Internet about the research institute... Sorry, it's even later today, because I was locked in a small dark room and couldn't get out qwq
