Chapter 17:
The mechanical sight’s maximum range of vision is 600 meters, but with the aid of the zero gold right eye, the distance is infinitely close.
As a result, he easily made it to a direwolf a kilometer away. The crosshairs appeared on the beast’s forehead.
Zero calculates and corrects the trajectory error.
Then, he gently pulled the trigger, and in an instant, the Zombie Wolf inside the aiming device’s body violently shook. Its head was blown off by more than half of the impact of the sniper bullet, and its entire body weakly fell on the ground.
The canyon was completely silent. The sound of the sniper equipment had long been silenced by the silencer.
Zero moved away from the boulder that was the cover, shouldering his sniper rifle and moving like a ghost in the direction of the wolf corpse.
His movements were light and quick. Like a sleeping behemoth, the canyon did not know of Zero’s arrival.
Zero did not try to conceal himself. This was the third sentry he had killed.
There would be no new sentries until the wolves found anything out of the ordinary.
He increased his speed to its limit. With his enhanced Agility, he was able to move forward at a constant speed of 60 kilometers per hour. The distance of a kilometer was covered in a blink of an eye.
A minute later, he was standing next to the wolf.
Squatting down, he used his Fine Steel Dagger to pick out one of the fangs from the upper jaw of the Zombie Wolf and put it into the backpack behind him.
Inside the backpack were two other Wolf Teeth lying quietly. Each tooth represented the life of a Corpse Wolf. This was the proof of a zero reward for a Quest.
Today, however, there will be more such evidence.
Moving noiselessly, he slid down the rock trench, clambered over the boulders, jumped over the cracks, and finally came to a rock.
The side of the rock that was basking in the sun was emitting high heat. Even though it was hiding in the backlight, it could still feel the heat emitted by the stone.
He was wearing a greyish-brown protective suit. The color of his clothes was similar to the color of the rocks on the mountain, serving as a cover.
The intense ultraviolet rays from the sun could cook an egg, but it was only slightly hotter than zero. There was not even a single drop of sweat on his face.
It was like a physique that could automatically adjust the temperature. It was an accessory that could be classified as a special ability.
The wind blew from behind the rock, bringing with it the scent of a corpse wolf.
He waited, waiting for the energetic males below to rest.
Zero will create a small landslide in order to kill the beasts to the greatest extent.
As for the lone ones, they had zero confidence that they wouldn’t be able to escape from the range of the sniper rifle.
To this end, zero begins to move.
With a silent movement, he buried the detonators one by one in the rocks.
The weight of the detonator and the angle of the explosion had been calculated with zero accuracy, and his mind had already simulated what would happen after the explosion.
A large amount of falling stones would land on the wolves’ heads before they could react. This sudden attack would cause them to lose at least eighty percent of their manpower, so they naturally had zero sniper rifles left.
When he buried the last detonator, Zero smelled something strange.
It was the smell of blood. It was very fresh, and it also exuded some other smell.
The smell was neither stinky nor fragrant, so he could not tell what it felt like.
Clearly, Zero did not have any memories regarding this smell.
On the contrary, the smell of blood formed a picture of a corpse wolf in Zero’s mind.
However, it was only a disemboweled direwolf.
It was located in the upper air vent, so the smell was not detected by the wolves below the canyon.
And if it wasn’t so close, he wouldn’t be able to detect it.
At close range, a sniper rifle was far less useful than a dagger.
He was like a cheetah. His long and flexible body was filled with explosive power, allowing him to deal with any sudden danger.
Under the guidance of the smell, Zero walked around a rock and saw a cave.
The smell of blood drifted out of the cave.
On the sand outside the cave, Zero found traces of towing.
On the nearby rocks, there were some sharp, disordered marks.
Zero was lying on the ground, and the smell of the Corpse Wolf entered his nose.
He frowned and walked carefully towards the cave.
Not long after they left, a grey fur appeared in Zero’s eyes.
He could already imagine what it was like.
A corpse wolf was forcibly dragged into the cave by an unknown creature to be slaughtered.
Judging by the depth of the marks on the sand, as well as the claw marks left on the rock, it must have been a male wolf.
Only an adult male wolf would have enough weight to match the marks on the ground, as well as huge strength and sharp claws that could leave clear claw marks on the rock.
Zero could not imagine what could capture a mature Corpse Wolf alive. With his knowledge of the new era, only the butcher he had met in Silver Tree City was qualified to do so.
However, there were no marks on the sand other than the marks left by the Corpse Wolves.
This meant that the thing that caught the Corpse Wolves was not very big and was light in weight. Otherwise, it would definitely leave something behind.
The dagger in his hand tightened.
As he walked into the cave, he felt a prickly numbness on the skin beneath the protective suit.
That was the sign of danger. In the zero golden right eye, the silver stripes immediately converged, clearly reflecting the scene in the cave into the zero eye.
The cave wasn’t big, but the walls were covered in blood.
An adult male wolf’s stomach had been torn open, and its intestines and internal organs were all over the ground. Some of them were even trampled into meat paste, mixing with the sand.
Beneath the corpse of the wolf, blood was forming a pool of blood.
Judging by the viscosity of the blood, this male wolf could not have died more than 0 minutes ago.
In this period of time, Zero had been laying a detonator nearby, but he did not realize that Killer was by his side.
He got goose bumps.
Zero’s sensitivity to danger had always been high, and this was the first time the killing had happened to him, completely unknown to him.
His brow creased even more as he used his dagger to pry open the wolf’s wounds.
The muscles of the wound were broken without any pattern. It was obvious that the wound was not caused by the sharp weapon, but was instead lacerated by an enormous force.
After saying that, Zero carefully stood up and turned around to leave.
He decided to give up this hunt. When there was an unknown and great danger nearby, he didn’t think that he would be in the mood to kill a pack of wolves.
As he turned to leave, he stepped on something.
The touch of a foreign object stopped him, and he lowered his head to a piece of iron that had fallen into the bloody mud at his feet.
He picked it up. It was carved in English on a piece of metal the size of a thumb.
Only the English language has been badly worn, only zero to “ha” two letters.
He didn’t know what this meant, but without a doubt, it wouldn’t be a Corpse Wolf or some other wild beast with an English-language emblem engraved on it.
It could be a man, a man who could tear an adult male wolf apart with his bare hands!
He threw the tag into his backpack and left the cave.
Just as he stepped on the sand outside the cave, he heard the screams of the Corpse Wolves coming from below.
Zero’s heart tightened as he rushed forward like lightning.
He hid behind the rock and looked down.
Blood flowed like a river!
Corpse wolves were lying on the ground one after another, their corpses were all kinds of strange things.
Some had their stomachs ripped open, some had their heads twisted to the side, and some were strangled to death by the large intestine that had been pulled out of their bodies, while some had strange distortions on their limbs.
This was simply an uneven slaughter. Judging from the bloody method, the killer should have belonged to the same person who killed the direwolf in the cave.
From afar, the howls of the Corpse Wolves could be heard. At the end of the valley, over a dozen adult male wolves were surrounding and attacking a figure.
By the time he caught sight of the figure, the battle was already over.
There was no doubt that it was a person.
However, he held a wolf corpse in his hand to cover his face, so he didn’t know what he looked like.
He grabbed the wolf’s head and neck with both hands, and then, with great force, split the wolf’s head in half.
He casually tossed the wolf corpse in the direction of Zero, occupying Zero’s view.
When the wolf corpse landed, the man had already disappeared.
After 0 minutes, zero appeared on the scene.
He didn’t dare to rush over. Even with his enhanced body, he couldn’t withstand the huge force that could easily tear apart a Corpse Wolf.
Thus, after determining that there was no danger, Zero cautiously approached.
He quickly checked the scene. Other than the ground full of broken meat, he couldn’t find anything else of value.
He ignored the wolves and left the valley at zero, sprinting as fast as he could in the direction of the base.
He had to report everything that had happened to Old Jack. He knew that such a dangerous humanoid organism had appeared near the base. This was obviously not an ordinary situation.

At the edge of the road, a corpse wolf lay in a pool of blood, its limbs still twitching.
The sense of danger in his heart became stronger.
That thing was approaching the base!
