When Shen Feng explained what he had observed, Lu Xian also quickly observed, and with his own abilities, he indeed discovered the abnormality in the wolf pack's behavior. The wolf pack would often look up, and what they could see was naturally the eagles in the sky. When an eagle moved to a certain place, the wolf pack would immediately follow. This meant that the eagles in the sky were the commanders, directing the wolf pack's actions.
Lu Xian also reacted and said, "So, we were exposed last night, and it was this feathered creature that gave us away?"
Eagles generally operate during the day, and even from high in the sky, they can clearly see the animals on the ground. Yesterday, Lu Xian also saw eagles flying in the sky. At that time, Lu Xian thought the scene was quite beautiful, with eagles circling in the sky under the setting sun, occasionally letting out sharp cries. This was the true spirit of an eagle soaring through the sky.
However, now, Lu Xian was filled with hatred for the eagles in the sky because these eagles were actually guiding the wolves to attack them. Furthermore, a human city of such a scale was destroyed by eagles. It was impossible not to resent them.
Qi Lingshan also drove up to catch up with Shen Feng, driving alongside him, and asked loudly, "City Lord, wolf packs are also surrounding us from both sides. We need to think of a solution!"
Shen Feng calmly said, "There are sniper rifles in your car. Go and shoot down the eagles in the sky. If we don't shoot them down, we will never have peace."
Qi Lingshan strongly agreed with Shen Feng's statement. Seeing wild wolves constantly falling from the sky, although they wouldn't harm them, there's a saying that a toad on the instep, though it doesn't bite, it's still frightening. If they ignored these eagles, he would always feel uneasy, constantly guarding against potential danger.
"Xu Xing, the task of shooting birds is yours. Find the sniper rifle and prepare to fire!" Qi Lingshan quickly said.
Upon hearing this, Xu Xing showed a look of difficulty and said, "Shoot? I don't know how to shoot!"
"No way, you're already an ability user, and you still don't know how to shoot? Are you kidding me?" Qi Lingshan couldn't believe what he heard. Xu Xing was an ability user and had gone out to fight before, yet he still didn't know how to shoot. How was this possible?
In the apocalypse, combat power was essential for navigating the world. In modern society, the most powerful weapons were undoubtedly firearms. Therefore, for those who needed to go to the battlefield, learning to shoot was a must. Having more skills never hurt. However, Xu Xing had always stayed in the city and rarely participated in battles. The only time he went to the battlefield was to kill bandits, where his samurai sword flashed with cold light. Even if the enemy had guns, they were no match for him.
Now, they needed to attack the mutated birds in the sky. Qi Lingshan had to drive, so the task of shooting could only be handed over to Xu Xing. Xu Xing wanted to fight, but his titanium alloy long saber couldn't attack the birds in the sky. His ability was vibration, and the transmission of vibration in the air would attenuate, so long-range attacks were also impossible.
Qi Lingshan said helplessly to Xu Xing, "Then I'll stop the car, and you can drive. Is that okay?"
Xu Xing gave a wry smile and said, "I don't know how to drive either!"
At this point, Qi Lingshan was finally speechless and couldn't help but ask, "You don't know how to drive or shoot, aren't you too useless?"
As soon as he heard this, Xu Xing became displeased and directly said to Qi Lingshan, "Not knowing how to drive or shoot makes me useless? Then you don't know how to give birth, so aren't you also useless?"
Qi Lingshan couldn't be bothered to argue further and continued driving. His ability was of no use at this moment, so he could only drive and ponder the next course of action.
Fortunately, there were also firearms behind Shen Feng's car. Lu Xian climbed onto the roof of the car with a sniper rifle and sat down, aiming at the eagles in the sky. The altitude difference between the eagles and the ground was about two hundred meters, which was within shooting range.
"Bang," Lu Xian directly fired, hitting an eagle circling in the sky. The eagle immediately fell from the sky. Then, Lu Xian continued to shoot, hitting every shot, and the number of eagles in the sky began to decrease.
However, after driving for a short distance, Shen Feng saw a dense wolf pack ahead. These wolf packs were all on high alert. Due to the cold weather, the wild wolves exhaled white mist as they panted, and their gazes were fierce, as if they were ready to pounce at any moment.
Upon seeing this scene, Shen Feng had to stop the car and think of a plan.
The wolf pack saw the enemy appear at this moment but did not rush to attack. Instead, they waited in place, as if waiting for an attack order.
Lu Xian pointed to the equipment behind the car and said, "City Lord, at this point, we can only use the paraglider. Hurry up and assemble the paraglider to take us away."
Shen Feng did not reply. He simply drove the car to a small hill and stopped, observing the surroundings and thinking silently. The others were also waiting for the City Lord's decision.
At this moment, Shen Feng suddenly asked, "If we have no supplies, can we still survive in the wild?"
Lu Xian nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course, we can. If nothing else, which one of us can't hunt?"
"What about clothing? Don't forget, we are in the north now, and the latitude is similar to Manzhouli. Without clothes, can we endure it?" Shen Feng continued to ask.
Lu Xian fell silent at this moment because he knew he couldn't withstand the cold. The bodies of ability users were much stronger than ordinary people, that was true, but in low-temperature environments, they were only slightly more resistant to the cold than a group of people. There was no complete immunity to the cold. If the temperature was extremely low, they would also freeze to death.
At this time, Shen Feng continued, "If it were summer, it would be no problem to fly with you. But don't forget, it's winter now. Abandoning our equipment and vehicles is like drinking poison to quench thirst. We will be temporarily safe, but without replenishment of supplies, we will definitely die. Believe my judgment."
Xu Xing was eager to try and said, "City Lord, let's fight our way out. I don't believe these gray wolves number in the hundreds of thousands."
Shen Feng nodded and said, "Since we cannot abandon our supplies, then this is the only path left. Prepare for battle, and let's fight our way out directly!"
Lu Xian could only show a wry smile. Among the four people present, his ability was not combat-oriented. Although he could detect the enemy's position in advance and predict their actions, in the boundless wolf pack, his combat ability was negligible.
Qi Lingshan took a deep breath and said, "This is my first formal battle. You guys just watch my performance."
At this moment, Qi Lingshan was ready to fight to the death.
The wolf pack to the north was numerous. As far as the eye could see, the hillside was filled with furry figures. In the apocalypse, the reproduction of wolf packs had not stopped, and thus, the number of wolf packs had been continuously increasing. Mutated wild wolves had strong reproductive capabilities, so in a few years, the wolf pack's numbers had grown to an astonishing level.
Moreover, with the arrival of winter, there was no food to be found on the grasslands. Even if they wanted to eat grass, the wild grass had already withered. Therefore, the only remaining food source was humans. In the eyes of wild wolves, not only could humans be eaten, but humans also stored food. As long as they ate humans, they could also obtain food.
Currently, the grasslands were filled with wolf packs. The livestock raised by humans had been eaten, and the crops planted had also been eaten. When these things were all gone, the wolf packs turned their attention to humans.
Shen Feng sat on the roof of the car. The off-road vehicle also had low railings, which were used to tie down supplies on the roof when necessary. Shen Feng tied his legs to the railings with a rope, while Lu Xian drove. Qi Lingshan also continued to drive, and Xu Xing stood on the roof holding a shiny knife, clearly prepared for battle.
Qi Lingshan shouted loudly, "City Lord, remember to use your ability to clear the path. Don't let the wolf pack block our way."
Shen Feng nodded and said, "I know. You all close your car windows, and absolutely do not lose any supplies inside the car. If the breakthrough fails, then prepare to assemble the glider."
Shen Feng regarded the glider as a trump card, to be used only when necessary. The reason was simple: if the glider was used, many essential supplies would inevitably have to be abandoned to reduce weight. Without supplies, it would be extremely difficult for everyone to survive in the cold north.
Just then, a huge figure appeared in the wolf pack. With the appearance of this figure, the ground also trembled slightly. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a white wolf, with snow-white fur all over its body, but its physique was enormous. From a distance, one might mistake it for an African elephant.
"This is the wolf king, the leader of the wolf pack!" Xu Xing exclaimed at this moment. He had heard that there was a wolf king among the wolf packs, and the wolf king could command the entire wolf pack. He had never had the chance to see it before, but now, Xu Xing finally saw it.
The wolf king's body was covered in pure white fur, completely white without any杂色. If it were made into fur, the price would be very expensive. However, the only flaw was that this wolf king was a one-eyed creature. The wolf king's left eye was closed, seemingly unable to open at all, clearly indicating it had been injured.
Upon seeing the wolf king's appearance, Shen Feng also recalled what the five surviving soldiers had said yesterday. Zhang Jue had injured the lead wolf with a grenade before his death, thus buying enough time for them to retreat. Judging by its size, this wolf king was likely the one that attacked the mine.
Shen Feng took a deep breath and said, "Zhang Jue, watch from the heavens. I will avenge you now. In your next life, I hope you don't encounter the wolf king!"
When Shen Feng learned of Zhang Jue's death, he felt very uneasy. They were comrades who had fought side by side and shared hardships. Now he was dead. Although he had done something meaningful before his death, it was still too regrettable.
The wolf king's remaining eye seemed to have seen Shen Feng. It immediately let out a long howl, a roar, "Awoo…"
The other wild wolves also howled together, "Awoo…"
The piercing howls carried far into the distance. For a time, the vast grasslands were filled with wolf howls. If one didn't know better, they might think the wolf packs were holding a meeting on the grasslands, but in reality, this was the wolf pack gathering for a meal.
Wolf howls could be heard from all directions in the distance, from the east, west, south, and north. At this moment, the two cars were surrounded by tens of thousands of wolves.
The wolf pack in front began to move, approaching the hillside in small groups. This was the wolf pack's probing attack, trying to gauge the combat strength of the people in the cars.
Lu Xian directly stepped on the accelerator and rushed forward. At this moment, Shen Feng also unleashed his ability: "Eye of the Hurricane!"
With that, a small tornado appeared on the grassland, stirring up sand, stones, and dry grass roots with its howling winds. The wolf packs were all blinded and had to close their eyes, lowering their heads to wait for the wind to pass.
Tornadoes generally appear in North America because North America has many plains, and during the summer, the monsoon activity is relatively active, leading to frequent occurrences of tornadoes. In Asia, although there are many plains, due to the presence of continental high pressure, tornadoes are not very common, and many people never get to see a tornado in their lifetime.
