Chapter 264: Chapter 185: Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom
At this moment, driven by a powerful will to survive, the New Human Squadron was following Bob's commands, activating the heavy armored tanks' maximum speed, pursuing the wolf pack not far ahead.
Despite their best efforts, the heavy armored tanks couldn't match the speed of the wolf pack on the snow and ice,
but the shells fired from the tanks could strike targets tens of kilometers away.
Facing the threat of the Rat Tide, Bob couldn't afford to hold back.
At his command, several heavy armored tanks launched high-explosive bombs,
which carried dazzling flares of light against the pitch-black night, hurtling towards the wolf pack.
The arcing light from the bombs traveled incredibly fast, carrying terrifying lethal power that shook the soul!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
...
The accuracy of the fast-moving heavy armored tanks wasn't particularly high, but several shells still smashed into the vicinity of the wolf pack.
The explosions shattered the surrounding ice layer.
Ice and snow, flares, and shrapnel flew in all directions, many wolves fell into the freezing waters, and many others were seriously injured by the flying shrapnel.
Even ordinary wolves, capable of moving up to seventeen or eighteen meters per second, couldn't escape the blast radius of the shells.
Only Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom, as Variant Species and with strength over Level Ten,
dodged the bombardment thanks to their incredible Perception and cheetah-like speed!
Still, their fur was splattered with who knows how much ice and snow.
At that moment, Wolf Dad, seeing several members of his pack seriously injured, felt a red tinge in his deep blue wolf eyes!
Among them were many old members who had followed him from the beginning.
There were bonds of friendship within the wolf pack as well.
After all, as social animals, it was impossible to say they had no emotions after living together over time.
Thus, seeing such a scene, Wolf Dad let out an extremely angry and mournful howl that echoed over the harsh Arctic tundra!
"Awooo!"
Accompanied by such a howl, the uninjured wolves in the pack as well as those who had sustained minor injuries quickly dispersed.
The wolves that had fallen into the icy water also managed to climb back onto the ice floes by paddling like dogs.
After this wave of attacks, the wolf eyes of the pack,
beyond a hint of fear, reflected more bloodthirst and killing intent, their fanged teeth bared from their muzzles.
Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom had no intention of fighting with these Copper Colossi, nor did they want to get entangled with the fearsome Rat Tide.
They had been fleeing frantically for some time.
Even the southern territory they had won for their offspring was abandoned by them.
But the Copper Colossi refused to let them go!
This forced Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom to bare their fanged teeth and talons!
No more running!
If they couldn't shake off the Copper Colossi no matter what, then they would fight!
Even if they truly died in battle, it was better than dying a frustrating death while fleeing, being struck down by the flames shot from the Copper Colossi.
Before their offspring became the Wolf King, Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom had also led the wolf pack for many years on the Arctic tundra.
They were the Lead Wolf and Wolf Queen, rich with experience.
They knew all too well that when faced with the slaughter and provocation of powerful Hunters,

they had to show their sharp fanged teeth and talons, and respond with the most hysterical fervor to make those Hunters understand that hunting them would certainly come at a bloody cost!
"Awooo!"
Another howl filled with infinite resolve and fury resonated across the icy wasteland!
The dispersed wolf pack started running swiftly across the fractured ice floes,
preparing for a fierce, uneven battle with the several Copper Colossi on the harsh Arctic tundra!
With no means of escape and after suffering many wounded comrades,
many wolves were on the verge of madness.
The pack led by Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom was different from the pack led by Su Lin.
With only about twenty wolves in their pack, they almost always hunted and lived together, and the bond between them was unmatched by many wolf packs.
This bond drove the remaining combat-capable wolves to attack the Copper Colossi from several directions in a frenzy!
Wolf Pack tactics: concentrate their superior forces to corner and hunt down one Copper Colossus!
They boldly chose the heavy armored tank where Bob was located!
```
But Bob inside the heavy armored vehicle wasn't the least bit scared, instead, a flash of excitement passed across his face.
"Haha! The wolf pack took the bait! Brothers, our chance to escape to the heavens has come!"
The two-meter-eight Bob was shouting excitedly through the intercom.
Even though the wolf pack launched a resolute charge at him, Bob didn't care.
Because, in his eyes, the dangerousness of this wolf pack simply couldn't compare with the terrifying rat tide.
And once they were really caught in a fierce battle, it was likely that the wolf pack would be the first to die in the stomach of the rat tide.
After all, the wolf pack was made of flesh and blood and couldn't withstand the ripping and tearing of the terrifying rat tide.
Whereas the special alloy in the heavy armored vehicle could at least hold on for a moment.
In such a rapidly changing battlefield, a moment's time was enough!
"Haha, the wolf pack has rushed in, and among them, there are two mutated wolves of the Wolf Clan, each over three meters. The temptation of the flesh and blood of these mutated wolves is imaginable to the rat tide, a species that devours everything!"
"In the moment when the rat tide attacks the wolf pack, we must break through and escape. Don't get too carried away now, and also, how much should our escape route deviate from the path the rat tide has taken? I suggest we deviate more, to thoroughly shake off the rat tide!"
"Agreed! No matter what, preserving our lives is the most important thing, there's always a chance to complete the mission, as long as we're alive, I reckon the authorities won't be too harsh on our families!"
"Agreed! Let's deviate ninety degrees directly, and leave! Then follow the tracks of the rat tide to trace our way back!"
....
Amidst the noisy and rapid discussion over the intercom, the New Human Squadron finally settled on a plan for breaking out and escaping!
This prompted the New Human Squadron to marshal all firepower and machine guns, suppressing the oncoming wolf pack while trying to carve a bloody path through the rat tide that had already surrounded them.
Some of the rat tide, now lured by the flesh of the wolf pack, surged towards them.
Therefore, under the concentrated firepower of several heavy armored vehicles of the New Human Squadron, a subtle crack was indeed torn open.
Bob and the other members of the New Human Squadron, upon seeing this fissure, felt as though they were looking at the hope for life itself,
They roared even louder, maniacally firing cannon rounds, and the heavy armored vehicles' rapid-firing machine guns spat out tongues of flame!
But soon, two of the Mutated Wolf Clan members in the wolf pack could not be suppressed and charged over!
After charging, Bob's heavy armored vehicle was violently shaken by a fierce ram from Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom!
But the Level Twelve Wolf Dad and the barely Level Eleven Wolf Mom didn't have the strength to overturn the heavy armored vehicle, nor enough power to shatter it!
So they could only futilely launch one ineffective attack after another from the outside against the heavy armored vehicle.
This sight allowed Bob, inside the heavy armored vehicle, to relax a bit.
"It seems the strength of the wolf pack in the Harsh Arctic is not strong, but that makes sense, after all, there are few species here and the wolf pack hardly has any food sources."
Bob whispered to himself.
As a New Human, he naturally knew that even Mutated Creatures that had broken free from the Genetic Shackles needed a lot of energy and nutrition for rapid growth.
So in the Harsh Arctic, it was within his expectations that the wolf pack would be so vulnerable.
Perhaps only species like the Traveling Rat with their terrifying reproductive capacity could sustain a few horrifyingly huge Traveling Rats with the food and energy obtained by countless ordinary Traveling Rats running around desperately.
With this thought, Bob relaxed his vigilance towards the wolf pack even further and continued to direct the breakout through the intercom.
Meanwhile, in the midst of the rat tide, the Variant Species Traveling Rat King, seeing a wolf pack stir into the fray,
A trace of impatience flashed through its small eyes!
"Squeak!"
It stood erect with its massive body, and a piercing long squeal sounded again, signaling its subordinates to attack even more desperately!
It would kill them all, whether they were Copper Colossus or wolf pack!
What about the wolf pack?
It had already been hiding for over a year because of that terrifying Wolf King, not daring to show its face!
Now that it had crawled out from the dark and gloomy snow cave,
It meant that it felt no fear of any species!
This current wolf pack, whether related to that terrifying Wolf King or not, would be annihilated!
In the midst of the Traveling Rat King's terrifying and sharp screeching, countless Traveling Rats of the great army accelerated, swarming in movement!
The glint of bloodthirsty red in the eyes of millions of Traveling Rats flickered even more fiercely!
And it was at this moment!
Just as the Variant Species Traveling Rat King decided to wipe out both the Copper Colossus and wolf pack, and as Bob and the other New Humans no longer regarded this wolf pack as a threat,
Suddenly,
An earth-shattering wolf howl violently exploded in the pitch-black night sky below!
"Aoow!"
This wolf howl, so loud it surpassed the cries of the Variant Species Traveling Rat King,
Even momentarily drowned out the noise of the terrifying rat tide's swarming movement!
Within this thunder-like wolf howl, all species within dozens of miles felt as if an invincible aura like that of a heavenly might had descended!
