At the same time, I also wanted to see how King Kong fared in terms of combat power when facing mutated beasts of the same level.
Huang Zhao's mental perception is focused on the battlefield, and he will use mental attacks to intervene if Jin Gang encounters danger.
The battle between the two level-four mutated beasts kicked up dust and was far more intense than when King Kong fought the Serpent Eagle.
The wolf king nimbly dodged King Kong's swinging iron rod, circling around King Kong, unable to get close enough to attack him for the time being.
The sharp claws that were swung out from time to time left obvious marks on the iron bar, but the wolf claws would also be shaken back and bleed profusely.
Humans are considered the most intelligent of all beings precisely because they can use tools, even though the wolf king's talent may be greater than King Kong's.
However, with weapons that allowed them to both attack and defend, they quickly forced the wolf king into a retreat.
If King Kong didn't have his weapon, he might not be a match for the Wolf King.
"You dared to steal my food! You dared to be so fierce!"
King Kong swung his clubs, driving the wolf king to flee in all directions.
The outcome of the battle was almost a foregone conclusion. Huang Zhao seized the opportunity and launched a mental shock into the Wolf King's mind.
The wolf king's fleeing figure froze instantly, and King Kong seized the opportunity to smash the iron rod into the wolf king's back.
"Awoo!!"
Canines are known for their tough exteriors and resilient builds, and this attack severely injured the wolf king.
A silvery-white aura surged from the wolf king's body, and it charged forward violently.
As he escaped King Kong's subsequent attacks, his injuries began to heal rapidly.
Clearly, its awakened bloodline possesses a strong self-healing ability.
"Awoo!!"
The wolf king let out a long howl, and the wolf pack that had been surrounding King Kong immediately stopped and began to retreat behind the wolf king.
Huang Zhao also stopped King Kong from pressing his advantage in time, and his mental connection once again probed the Wolf King's mind:
"Wolf King, do you still want to fight?"
"Awooo! Humans, I admit you are strong! You can leave now!"
"It's not a question of whether you want to fight or not now; I just want to save time and avoid trouble."
You think you can just pretend nothing happened after losing? There's no such thing as a free lunch!
"So what do you want? Do you want me to listen to you like this big idiot?"
"My wolf clan will never be slaves!"
Huang Zhao felt that these words sounded somewhat familiar...
"Unless it includes room and board?"
"Human! Are you insulting me?!"
"Ahem, just kidding. I can't afford to support such a large tribe as yours."
During Huang Zhao's communication with the Wolf King, the tense atmosphere had dissipated considerably.
Huang Zhao did feel that the size of this wolf pack was really too exaggerated; he was afraid that they had already eaten all the other creatures in the nearby mountains.
The wolf king's voice faltered, and he said somewhat dejectedly:
“We have hunted down all the creatures within a hundred miles around us. The reason we came down from the mountains this time is because of the food problem.”
Upon hearing this, Huang Zhao's eyes lit up, and he immediately had some ideas.
"You can go into the city; there is plenty of food there!"
Those mindless, charging humanoid creatures just eat!
Huang Zhao wanted to lure the wolf pack into the city to deplete the number of zombies, although this would also increase the strength of the mutated beasts.
However, the conflict between mutant beasts and humans is not irreconcilable.
Just like how Huang Zhao was able to communicate with the Wolf King at this moment.
Given the right opportunity, mutated beasts may cooperate with humans.
However, between humans and zombies, it's a matter of life and death, with absolutely no possibility of communication.
Zombies feed on any living thing other than their own kind, and are mortal enemies of all life on Earth, with no possibility of compromise.
Upon hearing about the abundance of food, a gleam of light immediately appeared in the wolf king's eyes. He said excitedly:
"real?"
“It’s absolutely true. You can walk with us for a bit, and I’ll take you there.”
Seeing that the wolf king had taken the bait, Huang Zhao was overjoyed and prepared to lead the wolf pack away.
Suddenly, it dawned on me that there were not only zombies in the city, but also other human survivors.
He then added to the wolf king:
"By the way, if you encounter any creatures that can run away, please do not chase after them."
If you agree to this, I'll let bygones be bygones for your offense this time.
The wolf king, preoccupied with having plenty of food, didn't bother to refute Huang Zhao and readily agreed.
"Alright, I promise you, if you lead me to find enough food, I will let you go!"
"What a proud and arrogant wolf!"
"What is 'tsundere'? Are you insulting me?"
"No, come with me."
Huang Zhao directed King Kong toward Jin City, the largest city in the surrounding area with a pre-apocalyptic population of over seven million.
Nearly a thousand wolves followed behind in a grand procession.
"Zombies, I've brought you a big gift!"
Huang Zhao was in a very pleasant mood at this moment.
Use the wolves to devour the tigers, letting the wolf pack consume the number of zombies.
Given the wolf pack's appetite, they could devour at least tens of thousands of zombies a day.
After digesting the zombies, the wolf pack grows stronger and can further increase its hunting of zombies.
Give the wolf pack some time, and they might be able to wipe out the millions of zombies in the Golden City.
Of course, Huang Zhao was just thinking about it. Just as ants can kill an elephant, wolf packs also suffer losses when dealing with zombies.
As Huang Zhao led the horde of corpses toward Jin City, he had already manipulated Chen Run to chase after Qin Yi and the other two.
Huang Zhao was worried that if they waited too long, they would turn back and not be able to find him and Jin Gang, and it would be troublesome if they got separated.
......
As Huang Zhao led the wolf pack forward, he said to the wolf king walking beside King Kong:
"Wolf King, when we arrive at our destination, don't rush in yet."
All you have to do is yell a couple of times outside, and food will line up and be delivered to your door.
"Aww! Is there really such a stupid thing? Humans are all so cunning!"
Ten days have passed since the apocalypse began, and the wolf pack led by the wolf king has encountered zombies before.
There are only a few of them in the mountains, and they are mostly hunted and eaten by wolf packs.
If the image of human power hadn't been so deeply ingrained in the wolf king's mind, he would have already led the pack down the mountain.
Instead of waiting until the food on the mountain runs out before having no choice but to come down.
Huang Zhao remained silent for a moment, then replied somewhat listlessly:
"Those filthy things can no longer be considered human, so their minds aren't quite sharp."
"Just see if it suits your taste. If you can't digest it, it will be very difficult to find a food source to support such a large group."
"Awoo! My wolf cubs are tough, they'll eat anything, they won't complain!"
Huang Zhao was certainly aware of this; the mutations of the apocalypse had caused these mutated beasts to evolve in ways that defied common sense.
In Chen Run's ten years of memories of the apocalypse, Huang Zhao had never heard of any mutated beasts that did not eat zombies or died from being infected by the zombie virus.
It seems that something in the dark allows the mutated beasts to resist the zombie virus.
The mutant beasts are unaffected by the virus and even quite like the taste of zombies.
