This meal of wolf meat rice made everyone feel bulging and comfortable.
Yang Xiao filled a large basin with wolf meat, walked out of the cave, and came to the gene store.
Gu Bo was pouring several bottles of genetic potions behind the counter when he suddenly smelled the scent of wolf meat and his nose shrank:
"It looks like wolf meat!"
Looking up, Yang Xiao had already walked to the counter and placed the basin of wolf meat in front of him.
"Old man, please eat your food while it's hot."
Gu Bo was not polite. He moved his mouth and a large piece of wolf meat flew into his mouth. He chewed it and said:
"Well, it tastes good, the wolf meat is delicious,"
As he spoke, he opened his mouth and took a sip, and a stream of soup flew into his mouth.
"Ah! Delicious!"
Gu Bo narrowed his eyes and shouted, then turned to the drooling assistant beside him and said:
"You should try it too, it's good."
The assistant happily said thank you, opened his mouth, a piece of wolf meat flew into his mouth, chewed it, and looked happy.
The assistant only ate three pieces. He wanted to eat but was too embarrassed to eat any more, so he stopped. Gu Bo was not polite and did not persuade him to eat meat again.
After a while, Gu Bo emptied a large iron basin of wolf meat and soup, and smacked his lips after eating.
"Old man, what's the next game of Go?"
"good!"
So the two started playing chess in the lobby of the gene store.
"Then what is the origin of snow wolves, and why do so many snow wolves suddenly appear?"
Yang Xiao asked.
Gu Bo smiled and said:
"You have to broaden your horizons. Creatures on the entire earth are evolving now. Creatures that evolve quickly will not stick to their previous territories. They will leave their original territories and continue to expand. For example, this snow wolf may have come from the distant Tianshan Mountains. Came here from the snowfield,
Moreover, as all living things evolve, their IQs also increase. Humans are no longer the masters of the earth. Maybe one day you will find that wolves or other mutant creatures dominate the earth. "
Yang Xiao was stunned. Animals reproduce much faster than humans. For example, this wolf. A female wolf can give birth to a litter of wolf pups a year, and the reproduction rate is several times that of humans.
There are other mutated organisms that are faster, such as mice. A mature female mouse breeds once in about twenty days, with as few as 6 or 7 and as many as a dozen at a time, while baby mice breed in about two or three months. will mature and reach the condition where they can reproduce.
Before entering the cold winter, Yang Xiao had already hunted a fifty-pound mutated mouse in the mountains.
Gu Bo's words gave Yang Xiao an unusual warning. If humans evolve slowly, they may be wiped out by other creatures.
Gu Bo smiled slightly again and said:
"You don't have to worry too much. After all, humans are the smartest creatures among all living things. Even if their evolution is temporarily slow, they can think of other ways to increase the speed of evolution in the future. In addition, don't you have the help of the gene store?"
Yang Xiao heard this and felt that it made sense. Although he was still unclear about the background and purpose of the gene store, the gene store did provide powerful evolutionary support for humans, including synthesizing gene potions, providing equipment and skills, and so on.
Yang Xiao and Gu Bo played Go for two hours. Thinking of the sudden arrival of Snow Wolf and having to go back to the cave to make some preparations, they left early.
Yang Xiao walked out of the gene store and tied two wooden boards to the soles of his shoes as usual to use as a sled. When he stepped on the thick snow, he found that the snow seemed not as soft as before, and seemed to be a little harder.
Yang Xiao knelt down and touched the snow with his hands. Sure enough, it had become a little harder.
Yang Xiao suddenly remembered that it had not snowed all day. At this time, the sky in the distance was gray and white, and there was still no sunlight.
"Is the severe winter over?"
When Yang Xiao returned to the cave, the two large iron doors had been closed about half way. Compared with the past days when they were closed after dark, it was obviously earlier today.
Yang Xiao returned to the cave dwelling and Zhao Gang said:
"Boss, since you're back, I'll have someone close the door first. God knows when the snow wolf will rush out, just in case something unexpected happens."
"Um."
Yang Xiao nodded.
Xiao Zhe, Huang Wen, and Zhao Gang have arranged for people to be on duty tonight. One person will stand on the wall of the two cave dwellings each to keep vigil. They will change people every 2 hours. From dark until dawn, the alarm will be lifted. until.
Electrical magicians are divided into groups of four and stay vigil at the entrances of two cave dwellings. A group is rotated every four hours. If there is an attack alarm, all electric magicians must come immediately to fight.
The rest of the people also made arrangements.
More than an hour later, Xu Nanqiang led the logistics team to prepare dinner. The dinner was roasted wolf meat, which was different from stewed wolf meat.
After nightfall, Zhao Gang asked someone to hold a few thicker iron pipes against the iron door. He shook it with his hand and felt relieved.
Everyone could not sleep, waiting for the wolves to attack, but they did not expect that the wolves never came. After midnight, Yang Xiao and others were sleepy, so they climbed into bed and went to sleep, leaving the person on duty to keep watch.
At some point, Yang Xiao was sleeping soundly. Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and at the same time, everyone felt the ground shaking.
Someone shouted:
"Oh no, the wolves are attacking!"
It was around 3 o'clock in the morning, when everyone was most sleepy.
Yang Xiao jumped up and rushed to the door of the cave dwelling. He heard several loud noises.
"Boom, boom"
Cave vibrations.
The iron door at the entrance of the cave was bent and bent by something, and it looked like it was about to collapse.
The four electric magicians tried their best to output arcs, and the arcs jumped on the iron door. However, the bombardment outside continued to sound, and the door continued to vibrate violently.
In a moment, twenty electric magicians also rushed over and fired arcs at the iron door. However, it still had no effect. The door was constantly being hit violently, and it was likely to collapse.
"what's the situation?"
Yang Xiao shouted to the people watching on the wall.
"Boss, I don't know, I can't see anything clearly."
"Come down, I'll get on, flashlight, who has a flashlight for me?"
Someone handed Yang Xiao a flashlight. Yang Xiao quickly jumped onto the iron ring on the wall, turned on the flashlight and shined it on the snow in the distance.
What a surprise to see. Hundreds of huge snow wolves gathered twenty meters away. I don’t know where they brought a pile of big stones. Several snow wolves were placing stones the size of washbasins against the cave dwellings. The iron gate was bombarded.
"Damn it, you've become a spirit! You can actually use stones."
Yang Xiao instantly threw away the flashlight, took out his bird bow, and shot at a snow wolf in the distance who was about to throw a stone again.
In the darkness, the feather arrow shot like lightning, and shot into the snow wolf's eyes with a pop. The snow wolf screamed and fell to the snow.
The eyes of these snow wolves emit green fluorescence in the dark, making them particularly easy to target.
Yang Xiao then fired a few more arrows, shooting down three snow wolves in a row.
The snow wolves who were about to throw stones finally realized how powerful they were, and they all put down their stones and retreated more than ten meters away.
"Nah, forty meters is within my shooting range."
Yang Xiao's current feather arrow skill is level 6, which can shoot to any target within a hundred meters.
Whoosh, Yang Xiao shot two more snow wolves with two more arrows. Now the wolves were not calm anymore. One of the wolves inside let out a howl, and the other snow wolves retreated one after another.
The threat was finally lifted for the time being.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Xiao jumped down and smiled bitterly as he looked at the iron door that was bent and almost collapsed due to the stones.
"Damn it, this snow wolf has a very high IQ. He doesn't launch an attack in the first half of the night, but only attacks in the middle of the night. He also knows how to carry rocks from the mountains to attack us. This is a sign that he is about to become a spirit!"
At this moment, Yang Xiao suddenly heard a violent whistling sound coming from outside. He was frightened. He took the hand of Long Yongjun beside him and ran back, shouting:
"Run!"
boom!
There was a loud noise, and the entire cave was shaken by vibrations.
With a crash, the iron door on the left side of the cave was blown down by a huge stone, and the iron door fell to the entrance of the cave.
(There may be two more updates tonight, I’m excited to try and get them!)
