214 Chen Wudis adaptability (1/2)
After several days of the Wolf King's fornication, Ren Xiaosu suspected their community would expand even more after the next two months.
When the wolves went out hunting today, he realized that their numbers were much lower than usual. Perhaps it was all female wolves that were missing.
Based on the known gestation period, it would take about 63 days for a female wolf to give birth after getting pregnant, which was a duration that was too fast for humans. Furthermore, no one knew if there were any changes to this natural cycle after the evolution of these wolves.
He followed the tracks left behind by the wolves into the mountains. Ren Xiaosu deduced that the wolf den should not be located too far away from the outpost since the howling he heard the other night sounded like it had come from nearby.
But before Ren Xiaosu could walk far, the Wolf King suddenly appeared at the end of the mountain path and blocked his way.
Ren Xiaosu somehow felt that the Wolf King had also come out to look for him.
When he heard the Wolf King letting out a whimper, Ren Xiaosu pondered it for a moment. ”Are you looking for me to help you treat the wounds of your packmates?”
Animals in the wild were extremely cautious when they were hunting. That was because they could easily die from an infection caused by a small wound. Even the most powerful species would find it difficult to survive a bacterial infection. It had been proven that bacteria was one of the toughest living organisms in the world.
Even after the world went through repeated cycles of destruction and rebirth, some types of bacteria still managed to survive each time.
When Ren Xiaosu finished asking, the Wolf King actually nodded in response.
Ren Xiaosu took out the black medicine and said, ”This medicine can treat wounds. I know that some of your packmates have gotten injured, but I can help you treat their wounds.”
The puzzled expression on the Wolf King seemed to be suggesting, ”This thing can even be used to treat wounds?!”
Earlier, Ren Xiaosu was thinking that humans could just use their fingers to apply the medicine on their wounds, but what about wolves? Wolves usually treated their wounds by licking them. So if the wolves relied on their tongues to apply the black medicine, wouldn't there be trouble?
The Wolf King seemed to hesitate for a moment. Then it turned around and led Ren Xiaosu into the mountains.
When Ren Xiaosu arrived at a valley downwind, he saw dozens of wolf cubs rolling around on the grass. They were not afraid of him as they had seen him when he was escaping. Though now the number of wolf cubs had increased by quite a bit. It looked like the wolves had not been idle either along the journey.
Of course, Ren Xiaosu understood. After all, the wolves had such a readily available source of food, and they couldn't read books, play cards, or do any other recreational activities.
When the wolves saw that Ren Xiaosu was here, they slowly made way for him. Ren Xiaosu was terrified as he walked through the wolf pack, but he endured his fear as he continued moving forward.
He was a daredevil. If it were someone else, they wouldn't have ventured so deep into a wolf den. It was not without reason that he could live such a comfortable life in town by relying on hunting.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please clickfor visiting.
As Ren Xiaosu walked further in, he saw seven wolves lying on the ground and gasping for their lives. The scent of blood filled the air around them.
Although the bullets that passed through their muscles were not enough to cause them fatal injuries, the long-term pain and bleeding would slowly drag them into the abyss.
Ren Xiaosu glanced at the Wolf King beside him and said, ”I have to remove the bullets from their wounds first. It will definitely be very painful, so I'll need you to tell them not to bite me...”
The Wolf King swung its head in the direction of the wounded as though to say, ”Hurry up!”
Ren Xiaosu crouched down next to a wounded male wolf and took out a pair of pliers from his storage space. He didn't have the luxury to worry about sterilization in this moment. In any case, the wolves would not understand what sterilization was.
Honestly, this was his first time attempting something like this. As Ren Xiaosu used the pliers to probe the wound, he kept an eye on that wolf next to him in case it reacted to the pain and tried to bite him.
But Ren Xiaosu was surprised that the wolf did not make a single sound even though it was rolling its eyes in pain.
