Chapter 390 Wolves
Mengqi's scream was extremely hurried and sharp, as if she had discovered something terrifying.
Su Chen's heart tightened, and he said in a deep voice,
"Get ready for battle!"
Everyone immediately became alert, loading their weapons and releasing the safety catches.
They followed behind Su Chen and slowly approached Meng Qi.
Mengqi was seen circling around a muddy puddle.
Su Chen looked down and saw a large number of messy footprints on the damp soil.
Most of these footprints are clearly not human.
However, one can vaguely see that there are many human footprints and vehicle tracks mixed in.
"Brother Su, what do you think?"
Zheng Hui, Shi Jinyuan, Wang Xinyu, and others were in charge of guarding the area. Xu Wenyue squatted down and asked.
"This location is remote, and it's unlikely that any survivors are present."
“Those human footprints and tire tracks must be Hui Yiqin and the others.”
Su Chen answered with certainty.
"What are these footprints for?"
Xu Wenyue frowned.
Judging from the situation on the ground, those footprints belong to at least several dozen animals!
"What I can say for sure is that it is definitely not a zombie."
Su Chen shook his head.
"If I had to say, it's most likely a zombie beast."
He's not an animal expert; he can't identify what things are from footprints.
But one thing is certain: it was definitely not human, but an animal.
Su Chen couldn't help but recall the zombie military dogs he had encountered in the micro-base.
And Mengqi's mother, that giant orange zombie.
Based on his past experience, with the same strength, the combat power of the zombie beast is far superior to that of the zombie.
If there are really that many zombie beasts, then things could get a bit complicated!
"Wang Xinyu, notify Captain Shi and have them all gather here."
Su Chen gave the instructions.
"Yes!"
Wang Xinyu immediately took out a walkie-talkie and began calling Shi Menglei and the others.
Half an hour later, all the teams that had been sent out gathered around Su Chen.
"Follow the tire tracks and footprints, and we should be able to find Hui Yiqin and the others."
Su Chen waved and followed the direction of the tire tracks.
Shi Menglei and the others followed behind them.
After walking a kilometer, Su Chen clearly sensed that something was wrong.
Scattered bullet casings and blood mixed with mud could be seen on the ground.
Various miscellaneous items were scattered on the ground.
Finally, they spotted two jeeps ahead.
Su Chen quickly stepped forward.
But the jeep was completely empty!
The car doors were wide open, and all the windshields were shattered.
The car body was covered with all sorts of claw marks, the most outrageous of which was that it had been scratched through!
Several weapons, as well as various firearms and ammunition, were scattered around the jeep.
"Captain Shi, send some men to check the surrounding area and see if we can find Hui Yiqin and the others!"
Su Chen said with a serious expression.
"Yes!"
Shi Menglei responded and pointed to several people, saying,
“You, you, you, and you, each lead a team to search within a few hundred meters.”
"Send alerts immediately if anything happens!"
After the reconnaissance soldiers were dispatched, Shi Menglei frowned deeply as he looked at the condition of the jeep.
"Judging from the situation on the ground, the enemy's attack was too fierce!"
"If I'm not mistaken, it must have been Hui Yiqin and the others who were suddenly attacked."
"As a result, the car's communication equipment was destroyed as soon as it came up."
"This prevented them from contacting the base, forcing them to hastily send a distress signal."
His analysis was similar to Su Chen's.
What's puzzling is that even when zombie beasts appeared...
They ate Hui Yiqin and other scouts, so surely there were at least some remains?
That's fine.
Could it be that Hui Yiqin and the others couldn't even kill a single zombie beast?
That's not that bad.
After all, the reconnaissance soldiers were known for their sharpshooting skills and were also equipped with grenades and a machine gun.
Unless the attacking zombie beasts are all of medium to high level.
Otherwise, Hui Yiqin and the others could definitely have killed several of them!
However, based on the current clues alone, it is impossible to make any calculations.
Su Chen was also completely clueless.
A short while later, the scouts who had been sent out also returned.
They searched the neighborhood for a while.
Although many footprints and signs of battle were found, no trace of Hui Yiqin and the others was found.
"Judging from this, Hui Yiqin and the others are probably in grave danger."
Su Chen sighed.
Although Hui Yiqin surrendered from the All-Powerful Eye, Su Chen had no connection with him.
However, Hui Yiqin also made a great contribution to winning the All-Powerful Eye.
This time, he was on a mission for the base when he encountered danger.
Su Chen was still somewhat saddened.
Everyone was silent.
"Let's go back to the camp first, and then we'll discuss what to do next."
Shi Menglei suggested.
"Okay, let's go back first!"
Su Chen responded.
After a quick packing, everyone took all the useful items from the jeep.
Just as they were about to leave, a hurried voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie.
"Captain Shi, no... something bad has happened! The camp is in danger!"
Everyone's vehicles and supplies were all placed at the camp.
Just in case, Shi Menglei did not send out all his men, but left about twenty people to guard the camp.
In case of any situation, notify Shi Menglei immediately.
"What happened?"
Shi Menglei asked in a deep voice.
"Wolves...a pack of wolves!"
Upon hearing the reply from the walkie-talkie, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
It's important to understand that after being subjected to extreme heat, torrential rain, extreme cold, and blizzards, even humans suffered heavy casualties, let alone animals.
Su Chen had been wandering around for so long before, but he had never encountered any wild animals.
How did we end up encountering a pack of wolves at this critical juncture?
Moreover, even if there were wolf packs, the base had twenty elite warriors armed with heavy firepower. How could they possibly be no match for the wolves?
These wolves seem unusual; perhaps Hui Yiqin encountered them.
Thinking of this, Su Chen picked up the walkie-talkie.
"Hold on, we're coming back soon!"
"Captain Shi, let's hurry!"
Shi Menglei nodded and quickly ordered the soldiers to head towards the camp.
Su Chen, Zheng Hui, Wang Xinyu, and other evolved individuals possess formidable physical abilities.
They temporarily left the main force and ran towards the camp at an extremely fast pace.
When they were still several hundred meters away from the camp, Su Chen and the others could hear a series of gunshots.
"Da da da……"
Interspersed among these were the howls of wolves!
As they approached the camp, Su Chen and his group took a closer look and were immediately taken aback.
A large number of wolves were seen surrounding the camp, launching a frenzied attack!
They are not zombie beasts, but they are also completely different from ordinary wolves in appearance.
Ordinary wolves are only white, black, gray, and brown.
Moreover, generally speaking, there are only five to nine wolves in a wolf pack, and it is extremely rare for there to be more than ten!
