C17 Wolf pack
The silver line formed a dot in the golden pupil before expanding abruptly. Thus, the scenery five hundred metres away suddenly drew closer, allowing Zero to clearly see an adult Corpse wolf with its tongue stretched out, resting on the light surface of the rock.
It was the sentry.
Zero knew that in front of this Corpse wolf, there were over ten groups of Corpse wolf wandering around in the wilderness.
Corpse wolf is a mutated wild wolf. They are infected by eating carrion and corpses. The wolves that couldn't survive the invasion died one after the other, and the ones that survived became ferocious beasts with bloodshot eyes and body odors, whose fur had turned gray. Although Corpse wolf s eat corpses as food, but Zero knows that they prefer fresh flesh.
He had already hunted Corpse wolf for three days and had a deep experience of this.
With regards to the smell of fresh meat, the Corpse wolf's sense of smell was exceptionally developed. After repeated tests, it was determined that the sense of smell of a Corpse wolf was limited to a radius of 400 meters. This allowed Zero to define the best shooting distance.
Naturally, the zero-handed M500 was not that far away. Besides, this large caliber firearm was almost extinct, so there was no silencer to match with it. If Zero took the revolver to hunt, it was possible that he would attract the attention of all the Corpse wolf within several kilometers by firing a shot.
For this purpose, Zero bought a sniper rifle from the weapons warehouse.
It was an old SVD sniper rifle, designed and modified by the former Soviet Union's Dragunov. It used a 7N1 bullet, with a maximum range of 600 meters. However, with the combination of the Golden Eyes of Zero, it could effectively injure a person within 1000 meters. However, this type of sniper rifle had already been eliminated in the new era, and the "Falcon" series of sniper rifles started by the big gunner Manteos was commonly used. For example, the falcon N-1 that Allen used was one of the first generation of this series of guns.
Even though it was a beginner's gun model, coupled with the high accuracy semi-automatic sight gear and the latest sniper equipment, it could reach an effective range of 1500 meters.
In normal circumstances, the new sniper rifle's power and range was around 2.5 times that of the zero SVD.
On the other hand, as the sniper rifle was facing elimination, the 'Zero' sniper rifle was relatively cheaper. The manager of the weapon warehouse, Mason, only sold them at the price of 1050 yuan, who even gave him a basic amount of ammunition. After all, this type of spear would have to be returned to the Parkland Headquarters for recycling and destruction by the end of the year.
And this sniper rifle also went through some special modifications, such as the extra long barrel, which made this SVD sniper rifle out of shape. Through modification, with the cooperation of a zero golden right eye, the 50 pieces of firearms could display the power and range of a 300 pieces beginner falcon spear.
During the three days of hunting, Zero was constantly familiarizing himself with the operation of the sniper rifle in his hands. The Corpse wolf that filled the mountains were his best practice target.
Today, it was no longer the three or five groups of lone Corpse wolf that were hunting. He found a wolfpack. This wolfpack had at least fifty adult male wolves, as well as twenty different female wolves and young cubs. That was something he had inadvertently discovered while hunting a few male wolves yesterday, so he decided to finish off this wolf den today.
There was a world of difference between the danger level of Corpse wolf in a group and that of single-digit number of Corpse wolf. The herds were more dangerous, and because of the she-wolves, their reproduction would be unimaginable. By this time next year, Zero believes that the number of these Corpse wolf will double.
In his line of sight, the sentry who was resting on his stomach began to move, representing the movement of wolfpack.
With the sniper rifle on his back, Zero disappeared behind the cover soundlessly like a ghost and carried the group of Corpse wolf far away at a speed of ten kilometers per hour.
Even if he ran all day, Zero would not feel tired. The strengthening of first rank from two years ago had allowed Zero to have enough stamina, and the point of evolution that was not triggered by the directional potion naturally evolved into the ability of strengthening first rank with agility. Speed was a skill that was far more important to a Gunner than strength and defense. Therefore, Zero was quite satisfied with this ability.
With the strengthening of first rank, the limit of the speed of zero would reach sixty kilometers per hour. Moreover, it also came with other related minor abilities, including a more acute reaction, which were the basic conditions for Zero to be able to wander alone in the wilderness.
Zero maintained a distance of about a kilometer from wolfpack.
He was looking for a suitable battlefield.
This is the wilderness, a kilometer away from the base. The plains here are not suitable for fighting with wolves." The wide terrain would greatly increase the space within the wolf pack's movements. Zero's sniper rifle was a single-shot firearm, which meant that he wouldn't be able to form a powerful firepower net with sufficient endurance.
Once wolfpack neared a range of 0.0300 meters, then that would be the time of his death.
first rank's defense was not strong enough to resist Corpse wolf fangs that could bite open steel plates with their mouth. In this era, humans were evolving, but wild beasts evolved even faster.
So he was patient and had time. In order to hunt these group of Corpse wolf, he had prepared three days of rations, which were enough for him to travel back and forth in the wilderness within a thousand kilometers from the base.
And in fact, zero doesn't have to go that far. In his mind, he could clearly see the map within 500km of the base. He knew that there was a natural canyon that was 10 kilometers away from the base. Two years ago, when he went on a mission to Silver Tree City, he passed by that long and narrow canyon. Except for the road, which was barely passable, the rest of the area was craggy and rocky, with countless shelters. To Zero, that was the most suitable battlefield.
The wolfpack's route was heading towards the canyon.
Zero had never doubted his judgement. At noon, the canyon was in sight, confirming Zero's guess.
From the movements in the wolfpack, it seemed that the group of Corpse wolf were preparing to migrate. There was no more food for them to survive in the wilderness nearby. If they wanted to survive, they had to leave this place to find a better place.
But wolfpack did not know, Zero did not plan to let them leave. If they could make one of these wild beasts be missing, then the people wandering in the wilderness would be less dangerous. This was a competitive era. In addition to competing against their kind, humans also competed against beasts and monsters for the space to survive.
Either you die, or I die!
