Lin Feng frowned slightly; his hearing was far superior to the other three women.
After becoming a Level 2 Evolver, the comprehensive enhancement of his Physique made all his sensory organs vastly improved.
Including vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch, all five senses have at least doubled in capability compared to the Tier One Evolution.
There is even a faint, mysterious sixth sense that can bring Lin Feng subconscious premonitions, such as the crisis feeling when danger is approaching...
Therefore, the faint wailing from the hill being bombarded a kilometer away was exceptionally clear to Lin Feng.
The other three women just noticed some anomaly, but Lin Feng could discern that it was the whimpering of a Desert Wolf.
Like the howling of a mother wolf when they chased the Level 9 Wolf Pack Leader, it is likely that the synthesized superweapon's power was too great, inadvertently injuring the wolf pack over there.
Chen Shanshan looked in the direction the sound came from. Although her hearing wasn't as sharp as Lin Feng's, she could also vaguely hear the low growls from a kilometer away, so she hesitated a bit:
"Should we go and have a look?"
Lin Feng immediately informed everyone that the wailing was from a Desert Wolf:
"The sound isn't very loud; either they've already run away, or they're about to perish. The wolf howl typically travels only two to three kilometers and shouldn't attract other Desert Wolf Packs."
"We can go have a look."
Ding Yi adjusted her glasses and nodded:
"It's alright to go take a look, gather some Evolutionary Meat, or the Life Source Material of Desert Wolves, which could speed up the Divine Dog's growth cycle, evolving it into a Tier One Desolate Beast sooner."
The primary task the squad needs to address next is the collection of Desert Wolf Source Crystals.
And according to Zheng Yan Ying, it's very likely that we'll have to enter the fifth basement level of the ruins, within the tunnels connecting to the Taishan Shelter, while also facing threats from Mutant Beasts.
Mainly because to them, Human Evolvers are the most delicious food, more attractive than Mutants.
Therefore, in the absence of Lin Feng's assistance, the squad, which lacked combat power, must have a safer strategy for exploration and collection.
Ding Yi's idea was to use the scent of the Divine Dog or Desert Wolves to mask the smell on everyone's Battle Armor.
Especially for Zheng Yan Ying and Shen Yue from the Church Squad, since they weren't wearing Sealed Battle Armor, the Power of the Holy Spring on them was like a lighthouse in the dark.
In the Feicheng Shelter, the Power of the Holy Spring could hold a certain deterrent effect on Low Tier Mutants, but once inside the narrow tunnels, it would become a signal for the Mutant Beasts to feast.
Or rather, for Mutant Beasts mixed with Desert Wolf genes, the Power of the Holy Spring is more like a threat, a presence that needs to be eliminated.
And they also have the strength to perform the elimination.
So disguising themselves is very necessary.
There is no light source inside the ruins; the visual ability of mutant creatures is practically zero, and their remote perception system relies entirely on smell and hearing...
Sounds are easy to control, being cautious won't cause too much noise; the only issue to solve is the scent.
Moreover, as Mutant Beasts possess Desert Wolf lineage, they should have a very gifted sense of smell.
On the way to the destination by bike, Ding Yi shared her speculations and proposals.
Lin Feng nodded, recalling a small joke once made by Father Su An:
"The Desert Wolves have very advanced olfactory senses, capable of picking up scents from ten kilometers away. If we could take the Divine Dog and enter the ruins, we might quickly find the target we need, the corpse of a Tier Two Desert Wolf."
Ding Yi thought about it carefully, considering its feasibility:
"We'll need to prepare a Protective Suit for the Divine Dog. After all, as long as it's flesh and blood, it will be affected by genetic radiation, and during exploration, it must not make too much noise to avoid disturbing dormant mutant creatures."
Lin Feng nodded, this strategy could be a backup plan, to use the Divine Dog after everyone had searched in vain to try their luck.
As they say, you raise a dog for a long time to use it at a critical moment.
It's time to test the value of the Divine Dog!
After the tricycle crossed the rugged mountain road, taking about ten minutes to reach the hill where the dust had settled, Lin Feng quickly found the target by following the wails.
Under the shadow of several large boulders at the foot of the hill, lay a few Desert Wolves covered in blood.
Most had injuries on the legs and body; some were hit by shrapnel from the High-Explosive Armor-Piercing Cannon, bleeding profusely, while others were struck by flying debris causing broken bones and internal injuries. In total, there were four Desert Wolves that were unfortunate enough to be caught in the explosion.
Lin Feng didn't immediately go forward to inspect; under the oppressive aura of his Tier Two Evolver status, the Desert Wolves with only Early Tier One strength had no courage left to continue escaping or struggling...
They quietly stayed in place, awaiting death.
Lin Feng's main focus was jumping to a high place to observe if there were any other Desert Wolves nearby.
However, unfortunately, the other members of this wolf pack had decisively left, abandoning their injured companions.
Or perhaps they left them behind to cover their retreat, buying time for the survivors in the pack to escape.
It's mainly because, in their eyes, the unknown enemy not only possessed formidable power but also incredibly terrifying and ferocious attacking methods...
The pack had no resistance at all and could only flee directly to save themselves by sacrificing others to ensure the safety of the rest of the group.
"A pity..."
Lin Feng lifted the Armor-Piercing Cannon, already disassembled, and used the sniper scope attached to it to survey the surrounding mountains and wilderness.
But found nothing.
The remaining members of the wolf pack had directly vanished without a trace.
At this moment, Chen Shanshan approached with the Titanium Gun, planning to grant the four Desert Wolves, each wounded to varying degrees, a swift end.
