Jiang Ye still wanted to type something.
But as soon as Cao County Citizen appeared, a flood of messages poured into the group.
They were all tagging Cao County Citizen and asking for discounts on purchases.
It was clear that her fame had grown considerably, and most people recognized her.
Jiang Ye didn't join in and went to bed.
The satellite forecast was accurate; a southerly wind picked up that night, starting with a howling gale.
Jiang Ye was startled awake. He got up and opened a crack in the window, letting in a rush of cold, damp wind.
Moo! Moo!
The wind carried the sound of cattle.
Jiang Ye suddenly remembered that the cowshed was outside the base and had no waterproofing measures!
But it was okay; the snow shouldn't melt for another two days. He would deal with it after dawn.
Jiang Ye lay down and went back to sleep.
When he pushed the door open the next morning, he could clearly feel that the temperature was not as cold, rising from minus thirty degrees Celsius to about minus twenty degrees Celsius.
He brushed aside the snow and saw that many Snow Oil Grasses had turned yellow.
These extreme cold creatures showed signs of death as soon as they felt the temperature rise.
It was estimated that hundreds of millions of Snow Oil Grasses on the entire planet would be completely wiped out within two days!
Jiang Ye went to the cowshed to milk the cows.
Just as he was halfway through milking, a clear wolf howl sounded in the distance!
The cows were immediately startled, mooing in alarm.
They might not have seen wolves before, but they could sense danger from the wolf howls.
Jiang Ye put down the milk bucket and jogged back to the base.
He climbed to the second floor of the base, picked up the Kai Xi assault rifle, and peered into the distance with the scope.
There was nothing, only thick white snow.
Jiang Ye waited patiently, rotating his rifle and scanning the surroundings.
Finally, a leaping shadow appeared!
Immediately after, leaping shadows poured out from the snow slopes, a large expanse of fiery red, all Blood Kangaroos!
Jiang Ye checked the magazine and continued to look through the scope.
The Blood Kangaroos were about a kilometer away, their numbers increasing, leaping wildly like a pile of red ping pong balls, charging towards the base!
Jiang Ye felt a surge of tension, silently estimating the number of Blood Kangaroos.
Fifty, a hundred, three hundred...
Five hundred! One thousand! Fifteen hundred!
The leading Blood Kangaroos were less than five hundred meters from the base's trench.
More and more Blood Kangaroos kept appearing, spewing out from the end of the snowfield like raindrops!
The sound of the snowfield vibrating grew louder and louder.
Jiang Ye stared blankly. He finally understood what a beast tide was. A great tide of crimson was rolling across the snow. In another two minutes, this tide would engulf the base!
But it wasn't over yet.
Behind the Blood Kangaroos, large packs of wolves emerged!
Jiang Ye had killed wolves before, but these were a completely different breed. Through the rifle scope, he could see their fur, pure white, almost invisible in the snow. But each wolf had blue spots that were striking in the sunlight.
The wolf pack was hunting, and these Blood Kangaroos were the prey.
Jiang Ye estimated the number of wolves to be over two hundred, and they were in hot pursuit. Such a large wolf pack was extremely rare, indicating a high level of intelligence and the ability to maintain extensive social relationships.
He absolutely could not let these beasts approach the base. Jiang Ye frowned, aimed at the leading Blood Kangaroo, and pulled the trigger!
The muzzle flash erupted like a flower, shell casings poured out, making a flowing sound on the floor. The noise of the assault rifle was deafening, like a continuous roar. Jiang Ye gritted his teeth and fired.
As the bullets swept across, a row of Blood Kangaroos immediately fell to the ground, struggling in the snow.
Reloading the magazine, he continued to spray!
He fired three magazines in a row, and the gun became hot. The barrel protruding from the window emitted white smoke.
Dozens of Blood Kangaroos lay on the snow, their blood splattering, struggling and crying out.
However, the Blood Kangaroos behind them continued to flee forward without regard!
Each Blood Kangaroo leaped desperately, even falling repeatedly. The pursuit by the wolf pack had shattered their reason, leaving only the instinct to survive.
Finally, the foremost Blood Kangaroos leaped into the trench.
With sharp screams, several Blood Kangaroos were instantly pierced by the steel pipes in the trench, struggling powerlessly.
Jiang Ye pulled the entire window open and hurled blood grenades outside the trench.
A violent explosion sent large numbers of Blood Kangaroos tumbling, the kangaroo herd becoming chaotic, trampling each other and crashing into their companions. But still, a continuous stream of Blood Kangaroos leaped desperately, trying to jump over the trench.
None of them made it over; they fell onto the sharp steel bars, their bodies pierced.
In just two minutes, dozens of Blood Kangaroos lay dead in the first trench, the wind filled with the smell of blood.
The pursuing wolf pack let out another round of howls.
Immediately after, wolf howls erupted from all directions!
Jiang Ye looked around in horror, seeing white wolves emerging from every direction, their numbers vast, eight to nine hundred!
It turned out not to be a pursuit, but an encirclement, with the perimeter perfectly enclosing the base!
Jiang Ye cursed inwardly. He was sitting at home, and wolves were coming from all directions.
The Blood Kangaroos were completely panicked. The surrounding wolves had terrified them. The red tide flowed back and forth, eventually gathering around the base, rushing to jump into the trench.
Piles upon piles of Blood Kangaroos were impaled and fell into the trench. Every corpse had its eyes wide open.
Jiang Ye continued to throw blood grenades outward, blasting down wave after wave of kangaroos.
Blood splattered everywhere, forming crimson rivers on the white snow, as if a blood rain had just fallen. Sharp screams pierced through the window, scratching at Jiang Ye's eardrums. He had the illusion of being surrounded by ghosts.
The wolf pack moved like an army, quickly compressing the kangaroo herd, not rushing to attack, but simply letting out howls and watching coldly as the kangaroos threw themselves to their deaths.
Ten minutes later, the kangaroos entered the final trench.
Jiang Ye, looking down from above, shot them one by one. The distance was too close, and the bullets' power was fully unleashed. The hit kangaroos were torn apart, flesh and blood flying, spurting out streams of blood.
The corpses piled higher and higher, approaching the wall!
The number of live kangaroos also dwindled.
After firing the tenth magazine, the last Blood Kangaroo was shot dead!
The area around the base was filled with dead bodies, nearly two thousand dead kangaroos, lying in all directions, piled into small hills. Hot blood steamed, and a powerful stench wafted up.
The wolf pack had circled several times and finally approached.
They became extremely quiet, making no sound at all.
All the wolves stared at Jiang Ye, hundreds of pairs of icy blue eyes.
Jiang Ye reloaded his magazine and aimed at them.
Such a large pack of wolves was truly intimidating. If he had a machine gun, he would have gone for it. But with only grenades and an assault rifle, it was risky!
The wolves cautiously approached.
They gathered around the base and began to gnaw on the dead kangaroo carcasses.
The sound of crunching bones echoed.
Jiang Ye gradually relaxed. These wolves seemed to have no intention of attacking the base.
Since that was the case, he wouldn't provoke them for now.
The wolf pack was initially wary, taking a few bites and then looking up at Jiang Ye.
Seeing that Jiang Ye was quiet and not firing, the wolves also gradually relaxed.
Their eating became more and more brazen!
Jiang Ye quickly reloaded his empty magazines, just in case.
