Chapter 120: Pack of Wolves
A moment later, he and Qin Wu jumped on the car roof while their teammates stood in a circle around the car.
"It’s a pack of zombie wolves." Mo Chenxuan stated and quickly continued.
"I count nine hundred and fourteen. Two hundred and one are level two, including seventeen at the peak."
Qin Wu frowned when she heard this.
Compared to the convoy, the wolf pack was nothing.
However, zombie animals were more powerful and agile than human zombies.
If something went wrong, it wasn’t impossible for the pack of nine hundred to annihilate half the convoy.
"Beware of the wolves’ leaping ability. Don’t let your guard down." Qin Wu warned and the teammates nodded in understanding.
The convoy had encountered many attacks since it left the base.
However, the attacks happened during the day and rarely involved more than one hundred zombies.
This time, the attack came at night and involved more than nine hundred zombie wolves.
’Let’s hope most of the zombie wolves are ordinary. It would be troublesome if the peak level two zombie wolves have supernatural abilities.’ Qin Wu thought and strained her eyes to look into the distance.
At this time, a loud wolf call suddenly broke the night’s silence.
"They are here." Mo Chenxuan said, his eyes narrowed into slits.
"Maintain a tight formation. Don’t wander around." Qin Wu reminded their teammates.
However, before the teammates could say anything, a fast shadow rushed towards them.
"I will take it." Xu Fei said, swinging the metal sword in his right hand.
The opponent was a peak level two zombie wolf.
At a glance, it had red eyes and a thin frame but when it collided with Xu Fei’s sword, a loud clang echoed in the surroundings.
"It’s also a metal ability superpower." Qin Wu stated.
Although she and Mo Chenxuan could easily defeat the zombie wolf, they didn’t move.
On one hand, their teammates were not weak and dealing with powerful opponents would not only exercise their superpowers but also strengthen their combat ability.
On the other, Xu Fei and the zombie wolf were both metal ability users.
If Xu Fei defeated this opponent, he would gain a peak level two, metal ability crystal core, which would be just right to help him advance to level three.
That said, Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu didn’t just ignore Xu Fei and their other teammates.
Although they couldn’t see it, Mo Chenxuan had already covered all of them with a thin layer of spiritual ability.
In this way, they would be able to escape with their life if a zombie tried to scratch or bite them.
"Their power is about the same but the wolf is more agile." Qin Wu observed, her eyes narrowed into slits.
"Xu Fei has noticed." Mo Chenxuan said with a satisfied smile.
At first, Xu Fei’s attacks were focused on the wolf’s neck.
However, after several failed attacks, he changed tactics and was now focusing on the wolf’s limbs.
"It’s the right call." Qin Wu nodded.
Although the wolf wouldn’t feel pain, a lost limb would affect its movement and reduce its speed. That way, Xu Fei would have a chance to land a few solid hits on the creature’s neck.
As Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu watched, more wolves arrived and the teammates began fighting.
Similarly, other teams and the army began fighting, wreaking mayhem on the previously peaceful night.
"How are they doing?" Qin Wu asked.
Although she had an auditory enhancement and could hear things from far away, it wasn’t the same as seeing.
At this time, she was naturally anxious to know how the convoy was doing.
"The peak level two zombie wolves are a problem." Mo Chenxuan said, his brows creased in a frown.
"Should we help?"
"Mmh." Mo Chenxuan nodded.
Compared to other teams, their team was doing well and was in no danger of collapsing.
However, some of the other teams had already collapsed under the claws of the peak level two zombie wolves.
"Xu Fei, you are in charge of this place. We will be back soon." Mo Chenxuan said and without waiting for Xu Fei’s reply, he and Qin Wu jumped down and rushed towards a level two zombie wolf.
This one was a vocally enhanced superpower.
As soon as it saw them, it screeched, causing the neighbouring people to collapse in pain.
Fortunately, Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu always had a spiritual ability barrier around them, and when the screech encountered the barrier, it immediately collapsed and didn’t affect them.
"We will take this one. Find another opponent." Qin Wu said to the surrounding survivors.
Hearing this, the survivors thanked the two and hurried away.
At the same time, Mo Chenxuan condensed a lightning bolt and attacked the wolf.
Unfortunately, the wolf was unusually fast and barely managed to dodge the attack.
Seeing this, Mo Chenxuan narrowed his eyes and attacked again.
Compared to the previous attack, this attack was more powerful.
However, considering the number of zombie wolves, Mo Chenxuan only used a small portion of his power and didn’t dare to exhaust himself.
That said, this attack was just enough to defeat the late level two zombie.
In the blink of an eye, the wolf’s head turned to ash and a yellow crystal core fell to the ground.
"Next." Mo Chenxuan said and after collecting the crystal core, the two rushed to the next target.
The fight lasted from evening to dawn.
At first light, the last zombie wolf was killed but the convoy was devastated.
From a casual glance, Qin Wu saw many headless bodies mixed in with the zombie wolf corpses.
"It’s really an inexplicable disaster." Qin Wu sighed as she looked around.
After all, the convoy’s rest place was nowhere near a forest.
Most importantly, what were the odds of encountering such a large pack of zombie wolves so early in the apocalypse?
Thinking of this, Qin Wu shook her head and squeezed Mo Chenxuan’s hand.
Fortunately, team Legends was intact.
Although everyone was exhausted, no one was injured or dead.
"Chenxuan, isn’t it too suspicious that no one in our team is injured or dead?" Qin Wu asked with a worried expression.
After all, the spiritual ability was one of the rarest superpowers.
Considering this, Qin Wu shuddered when she thought of what would happen if someone discovered Mo Chenxuan’s abnormality.
However, when he heard her worry, Mo Chenxuan smiled and rubbed Qin Wu’s hair with an unconcerned expression.
