941 Big Wild Wolf 1 (2/2)
He turned around to look at the Big Wild Wolf behind him, using his Willpower to code it as No 1 quickly.
”Follow him, and attack these creatures.”
Garen directly gave it an image of the Predators using his Willpower, and that included Invisible Predators.
The Big Wild Wolf howled softly in reply, and followed behind that man.
Only then did Garen let go of the man, letting him run away. At the same time, Garen moved towards the direction of the gate and the wall, constantly vigilant of the surroundings, in case someone mistakenly shot at the Big Wild Wolf.
Leo City initially had thirty-four villagers, but now there were only seven or eight left. With East Perrin and Malone, they had exactly ten, and their manpower looked sparse standing on the wall. It was extremely empty, and they were far too small compared to the city that could take several hundred residents.
Right now, they stood on the wall by the main gate, spread out and vigilant of the situation beneath them as they held their guns, but there was despair in most of their eyes.
Ten of them was not enough to guard all the checkpoints on the wall. If they guarded the front, the back would be left wide open.
When Garen brought two people and a Big Wild Wolf to them, they were all slightly dazed.
The Big Wild Wolf followed closely beside Garen. Its body looked to be almost two meters, its appearance ferocious, similar to other mutated beasts, and it did not attack anyone at all. But no one could remember if anyone reared such a fierce dog in the town.
Only Malone and East Perrin showed a glimmer of hope. East Perrin got off the wall of her own accord, and greeted Garen.
”This is the hope you mentioned?” she asked quietly.
”Yes.” Garen nodded. ”There will be more than one, and it can replace the dead men to patrol the town. It's very fast too, and can be maintained for a long time. One of these would be equal to at least two people.”
Joy flashed through East Perrin's eyes.
”How many more can you make?”
”Depends on the time and materials,” replied Garen softly.
East Perrin nodded, and quickly ran to explain the Big Wild Wolf to the others. She did not say much, she just told them that this big thing would help protect the town. Although the townspeople were wondering where it came from, this was not the time to sweat the small stuff.
And Malone seemed to have an inkling of a guess, in his seventy or eighty years of life, he had indeed seen something similar.
He approached Garen, and while East Perrin was on the other side introducing the Big Wild Wolf, he asked Garen quietly.
”Energy Machinist?”
Garen paused, and then smiled.
”You know too?”
”I saw one when I was young, it's a very impressive profession, most people can't even meet them.” Malone nodded.
Just when everyone seemed to have a glimmer of hope.
Suddenly the Big Wild Wolf abruptly pounced at an empty space to the right, its sharp teeth and claws slicing through the wind, as it clawed at the air.
There was a tear, and something seemed to get caught, instantly torn in half by the sharp claws.
”Invisible Predators!!” someone gasped.
Only then did the rest realize that the thing pressed under the Big Wild Wolf's paw was an Invisible Predator that had snuck in. Its invisibility had been torn apart, and it showed itself, the Big Wild Wolf chomping down on its corpse's flesh and blood.
It never occurred to Garen that the Big Wild Wolf might actually eat the Invisible Predator's corpse directly.
This was an unexpected change, but he sensed it carefully and found that the Big Wild Wolf's genetic structure seemed to be even more stable after eating, echoing back a signal that lasted even longer. So he made no attempt to stop it.
”There seem to be some accidental changes that I can't control.” Garen carefully observed the way the Big Wild Wolf ate the Invisible Predator, to see if there were any signs of it being infected by the radiation disease on the Invisible Predator.
It seemed to be due to the Distorted Seed, but the Big Wild Wolf seemed completely unaffected. It ate up most of the corpse in a few large bites, and even crunched up the bone, chewing it and swallowing down, without wasting anything.
”Kill them freely, but do not leave this area.” Garen gave the Big Wild Wolf the order to only hunt the Invisible Predators within the town, and then to rest once it was tired.
He watched as the Big Wild Wolf made a few large leaps, quickly vanishing behind a stone house in the town.
Rip!
There was another low scream, and yet another Invisible Predator bit the dust.
While it sent a chill down the spines of the survivors, they also felt a long-lost sense of security.
