The Informal Tomb Raiding Diary: She is the occupant of the tomb!-Chapter 404 - 312: Wolves (Part 2)

Thud... thud...

I took advantage of their hesitation to take their lives, and the remaining four were also dispatched.

There were no windows in the room, so the people inside couldn’t see the red light I released from the rooftop and had no idea a second wave of wolves had tried to attack me. At least, they didn’t know the exact number.

So when Doctor Du asked how many were left above, I replied ’four’, already taken care of.

That’s right, only four bodies could be found, and Doctor Du wasn’t going to count them now. She just cautioned me to be careful and began prepping her weapon.

Doctor Du’s arsenal wasn’t limited to daggers. When she previously fought the stoned entities, she hadn’t used her ultimate weapon. Now, in this truly critical moment, she pulled the ’mass destruction device’ from her backpack.

It looked like a revolver, but of course, it wasn’t.

If it were a gun, it would never pass customs. It resembled a gun, but it actually held needles, many needles, similar to medical injection needles.

Huang Zaijiang asked her what it was, a tranquilizer?

Doctor Du laughed, jokingly saying, alright, if you get hurt later, I’ll give you a shot for permanent pain relief.

Huang Zaijiang quickly shook his head, saying that permanent pain relief meant death, didn’t it?

Doctor Du said these were poisoned needles, using a toxin developed by the department’s pharmaceutical team, one shot could kill a bear.

Huang Zaijiang clicked his tongue, saying the black pharmacy had concocted another unregistered product.

The black pharmacy is the department’s affectionate name for the pharmaceutical team; unregistered products mean no antidote, no immunity, and no delay.

This implies that once touched, one would die, with absolutely no possibility of an antidote being formulated. No one can be immune, nor will there be a scenario where it takes half an hour to die after ingestion.

Only two people could stand outside the door, so Chen Qinghan arranged for shifts to battle the wolves.

When Mike’s strength gave out, Doctor Du substituted him. When Mike retreated inside to rest, his hands trembled slightly, and a gun without bullets was less useful than a fire poking stick, awkward to wield.

Relying on his strength, Mike persisted for over ten minutes, and now his arms must have been very sore, his hands trembling slightly.

Doctor Du’s needle scatter gun packed quite a punch, penetrating a vast area, and anything hit would collapse instantly.

Even if a wolf’s paw got struck, it would drop dead immediately.

A product of the black pharmacy, it was undeniably a treasure.

The wolves seemed to sense that a direct charge was too costly, sacrificing so many pack members only for a few pieces of our flesh. This was a bad deal.

So after a blood-curdling scream, the wolves stopped charging and retreated into the dark corners.

We couldn’t possibly catch up, but if we let them escape, they’d likely find another way to attack us.

These wolves were too clever, and as the saying goes, it’s not the thief stealing that’s feared but the thief remembering, and they kept us in mind — we wouldn’t fare well.

Chen Qinghan appeared to take a few steps forward, actually to avoid others’ sight, positioning himself where I could see his face, he looked up and motioned with his mouth.

What was the image of a handsome guy doing such an action?

I grumbled internally but still followed the command, jumping off the rooftop and chasing after the retreating wolves.

Chen Qinghan pretended to call me back twice, telling me to return, but I feigned ignorance, running swiftly.

In that battle just now, the lead wolf remained hidden, not in the visible charging team.

However, its ’retreat howl’ gave away its position, and I quickly darted in that direction.

No one was watching me nearby, so I could go all out, my two legs running faster than four, leaving some wolves behind.

Because of their different positions, the retreat distances varied and, unlike the plains, they couldn’t retreat as a large group; the city’s narrow streets couldn’t accommodate a large pack.

Thus, they could only retreat in small groups, and the lead wolf might have sensed a chaser, howling again as the wolf pack began dispersing in various directions.

The wolves I outran turned to dust; none within my range escaped.

And I kept on the trail of the howling sound; typically, wolves lived in the wild, building dens there, but these wolves stayed within the city.

They showed no sign of leaving the city, escaping to the affluent west side of town. Although it was far from the city center, the architecture here was noticeably different from the east side’s.
