Chapter 23 Wolf
0401 collapsed in the back seat like a deflated rubber ball, his eyes staring blankly at the blood moon in the sky through the sunroof glass. Sun Hang took out his mobile phone and opened the web browser.
It is a pity that the Internet did not appear more than 60 years ago, and even wireless communications were not yet popular. Otherwise, Sun Hang would like to try whether his mobile phone can capture the radio signals of that year.
He entered the word "blood moon" into the search bar of the browser, then thought about it, and added the footnote of "Class B No. 6 weird object" at the end.
Sun Hang pressed the "search" button, and after a short delay, 160,000 search results popped up.
He thought for a while and added a footnote of "September 15, 4654 in the lunar calendar" - in the blink of an eye, the search results changed from 160,000 to just over 30.
These thirty-odd records are basically the official records of the Xiazhou Federation - many of the people who experienced the blood moon sixty-five years ago are no longer alive, and at that time there was little information and no network. How could it be preserved and restored? There are very few clues that Sun Hang can find online.
However, among these thirty-odd records, there is not one related to Tianfu City.
Sun Hang sighed and could only change the search term to "Tianfu City, September 15, 4654 in the lunar calendar" and deleted everything related to the blood moon.
"Huh?"
Although the content found was still not comparable to the Blood Moon Eight Pole, there was one piece of news that caught Sun Hang's attention.
This is a scan of a local chronicle, which records that between September 15 and 20, 4654 in the lunar calendar, 150,000 refugees who were displaced by strange things entered Shuzhou from the Yuanmou area.
At that time, Tianfu City was not called Tianfu City, but the ancient name "Jinguan City" was used. The huge basin with Jinguan City as the center was Shuzhou.
At that time, the boundary line of human activity areas would extend another four to five hundred kilometers to the southwest. Including Yuanmou City, the entire Yunnan Plateau was the front line against the invasion of strange creatures.
Just when Sun Hang was about to continue searching along this clue to see if the appearance of these refugees had anything to do with the blood moon, Yang Qi's voice suddenly rang out.
"We're being watched by something... I can feel it."
"What?" 0401 was so frightened that he sat upright for a moment and grabbed the seat belt in front of him.
"It's just a beast." Wang Xiyi pulled the slide of the pistol and loaded the bullet in the magazine.
This was an undeveloped countryside sixty-five years ago. There were no human settlements and no roads. Off-road vehicles were driving on the rugged wasteland. Sun Hang looked out the window and saw only a few scarlet lights. It flashed past in the night and immediately disappeared from sight.
"It seems like a wild wolf." Sun Hang said.
"There haven't been wild wolves near Tianfu City for many years. If it weren't for the strange things, this news would probably be on the front page of Tianfu Daily tomorrow." Yang Qi complained casually.
"Can this wolf be killed? Will it violate the Wildlife Protection Law?" Sun Hang asked.
"When the blood moon appears, the wildlife protection law will not take effect by default." Yang Qi said.
"That's good." "But try not to shoot if you can. I'm worried that it will alert some other things." After Yang Qi finished speaking, she stepped on the accelerator again, "I'll drive faster and see if I can Get rid of these wolves."
"It's too late, we are surrounded." Wang Xiyi said lightly.
More than a dozen scarlet light spots appeared directly in front of the off-road vehicle... No, not just in front, but also on the left and right sides and behind. If two light spots were used to calculate one wolf, there would be at least nearly fifty wolves. surrounded them.
"So many?" Yang Qi frowned slightly.
Fifty wolves, this number exceeds the size of most wolf packs... Even in places that are very suitable for wild wolves to survive, with abundant food and few natural enemies, the largest wolf pack rarely exceeds thirty.
"Even sixty-five years ago, there wasn't such a large wolf pack in Shuzhou, right?" Yang Qi asked doubtfully.
"No, they are not one wolf pack, but many..." Wang Xiyi's nose twitched slightly, "I can smell that these beasts belong to several groups, but driven by the blood moon, they gathered together …”
"Are these all the wolves in this area? Why don't these wolves go to other groups?" 0401's face was a little pale.
"Because there are two monster hunters in this car, it is natural that they will receive special attention." Yang Qi held the steering wheel tightly with both hands and said in a deep voice, "Sit tight, I will speed up and rush out... If If they are blocking the car, don’t blame me for hitting them to death!”
The off-road vehicle's engine began to roar deafeningly, and the tachometer pointer on the instrument panel swung crazily to the right. At the same time, the bumps on the vehicle's body became more intense as the speed increased, giving people the feeling that it would fly out at any time. The same thing - 0401's head had already had two "intimate contacts" with the roof of the car without warning.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The distance gradually narrowed, and under the illumination of the car lights, Sun Hang finally saw clearly the appearance of the wild wolves blocking the front.
Their body shape is a whole circle larger than the adult wild wolves in Sun Hang's impression - the body length of these wild wolves is generally more than two meters. If they stand upright, they can easily grab an off-road vehicle. roof.
"Are you sure these wolves have just become more violent and irritable?" 0401's voice was trembling.
The eyes of these wolves all emit a captivating red light, just like the blood moon in the sky. The reason why the eyes of nocturnal animals can "glow" is because there is a special layer of reflection at the bottom of their retinas. The layer can gather the weak light in the environment and then reflect it concentratedly, forming light spots like phosphorus fire in the darkness.
This reflection effect is not obvious when there is sufficient light, but now, the red light in the eyes of these wild wolves illuminated by the car lights seems to be able to penetrate the light of the car lights, which is extremely dazzling and eye-catching.
Facing the off-road vehicle that was approaching, these wild wolves did not avoid it, but pounced directly on it! The body weighing hundreds of kilograms hit the front windshield heavily, directly denting the bulletproof glass that can block 7.62 mm bullets. Spider-like cracks extended from the impact point to the edge of the window.
Two wild wolves were knocked out, but one hooked its front paws on the luggage rack on the roof of the car, lay directly on the car window, and began to bang its head against the window that was on the verge of shattering. Glass.
"These beasts have been strengthened by the blood moon." Yang Qi frowned, "This kind of situation... rarely happens."
Sun Hang noticed that the body of the wild wolf was expanding crazily. The fur on the body was torn by the rapidly growing muscles, and the bloody subcutaneous tissue was squeezed out from the torn holes. Like a tumor that is difficult to cover.
"Enhancement? Is this a mutation?!" 0401 shouted with some inarticulate speech, "This... this wolf has turned into a monster, right?!"
