Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 832 Disaster Expansion
The mountain eagle is really bored...

The Wolf Scourge that Razer is worried about is just a game to him!
As long as the wolf pack doesn't break in or pick locks, and doesn't launch a desperate charge carrying explosives, then there is virtually no danger for the people in the cabin.

The danger of wolf packs lies in their ability to 'blockade' and 'destroy'!
As long as they are active in the village, the villagers have no way to leave their houses.

As time goes by and the supplies inside the house are depleted, the people inside will eventually have to come out to chop firewood and fetch water, and that will be the most dangerous time.

The harsh natural environment can cause anxiety for people trapped inside, as wolves will try to destroy their storage rooms and eat the food they have prepared over the past few months...

The Inuit do not have refrigerators, so they start preparing food from the summer onwards. Smoked fish and smoked venison are their main food sources.

These items cannot be stored indoors during winter because indoor temperatures will accelerate food spoilage.

Traditional Inuit people would build storage rooms using a combination of wood and tarpaulin to preserve food using the outside temperature.

Once the wolves destroy the storage room and eat the food inside, the villagers' situation will become very dire.

This is why Uya wanted to distribute the wolf meat to the villagers before; once the wolf pack entered the village, it would inevitably lead to some families having their food reserves eaten...

While Mountain Eagle patiently guided several children in building a wolf-dismantling assembly line, enduring a room full of complaints from the women, a food warehouse in the village was breached...

Amidst the angry roars of a villager, several wolves tore open the tarpaulin and rushed into a makeshift wooden A-frame warehouse, where they began dragging large quantities of smoked fish outdoors to eat.

Because of the angle, the unfortunate villager couldn't shoot the wolves from inside the house. No matter how much he fired to intimidate them, the greedy wolves simply ignored him...

Under any other circumstances, that villager would have fought desperately, but this time Razer stopped them from doing so.

Even with guns, these Inuit people couldn't win against a pack of wolves at night!

The old man possessed exceptional individual abilities, but this time he didn't lead the charge to risk his life. Instead, he tried his best to organize the villagers via radio and keep them calm.

It's fine if the food gets eaten, but it would be a joke if something happened to the person!
The village quickly calmed down after Razer's reprimands, and then, apart from the occasional loud gunshots coming from the second floor of the small building where Mountain Eagle and his group were, everything else became quiet.

While the mountain eagles were setting up a dismantling line for wolves in the cabin, they didn't forget to start boiling water at the back, on the east side...

As bucket after bucket of snow water was heated, the mountain eagle used a water pump to pump the hot water into the tank...

With the water supply in the bathroom and kitchen secured, Xiao Wan, who has a slight obsession with cleanliness, finally felt a little more at ease and planned a fixed spot on the first floor near the back door as a 'production line' area.

To be honest, skinning a wolf is a skilled job. Even if the gray wolves have just died and their bodies are not completely stiff, it is not an easy task to skin them intact.

In the end, in order to protect the children's spoils, Tessa, as the ultimate beneficiary of the wolf skin, had no choice but to reluctantly drag Selena into the fray.

But Tessa quickly found some fun...

Whenever she saw Xiao Wan constantly rinsing the bloodstains and grease on the ground, she felt a mischievous pleasure.

Sometimes she couldn't resist pinching Yue Yi's cheek, leaving a smelly handprint on his face...

Whenever Xiao Wan couldn't resist rushing over to wipe Yue Yi's face, Tessa would burst into cheerful laughter.

Every few minutes, a large-caliber rifle upstairs would fire twice to intimidate the wolves in the woods to the east.

After listening for a while, the mountain eagle, who was boiling water at the back door, finally couldn't help but say over the radio, "Take it easy!"
"The bullets you've fired combined are worth more than the lives of these wolves, and you haven't even hit a few of them yet..."

The mountain eagle's complaints put immense pressure on the griffin on the second floor. She paused for a moment, then said somewhat aggrievedly, "Boss, the wolf pack to the east is very active. We need to drive them deeper into the woods so that we have enough time to react."

Otherwise, once they get close enough, our firing range might not be enough!

Mountain Eagle didn't seem to care about the money. He said somewhat helplessly, "Then let's not use large-caliber bullets. Let's use 7.62mm bullets instead. That way, we can drag the wolves we hit back to feed the villagers..."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle glanced at Xiao Wan, who had gone out to throw away the trash. He bent down and used a large shovel to add a shovelful of snow to the heated bucket, then threw the hind legs of the four wolves into a large basin, added cold water, and began to soak them.

Seeing that Shan Ying was pretending not to see her, Xiao Wan angrily rolled a snowball and threw it on his head. After snorting, she turned and went back into the house, saying, "Just keep messing around. Later, we'll make sure your son works at the meat processing plant..."

Mountain Eagle didn't dare to talk back. He muttered to himself, "My son isn't just about taking down wolves. He's also responsible for treating the wounds of Balang and the others, isn't he?"
Besides, with this skill, it would be great to become a responsible butcher or veterinarian in the future!

Xiao Wan pushed open the back door, and what came into view was a small slaughterhouse. Watching her son bustling around, she couldn't help but sigh. As she passed Tessa, she paused...

"Don't make this place and my son smell too bad. If I'm upset, you won't be either..."

Tessa paused for a moment, just about to unleash her "green tea" charm, when she saw Luna holding up a skinned wolf's head close to her cheek...

Tessa was startled by the wolf's unseeing, lifeless eyes, nearly falling flat on her backside on the blood-soaked floor. She watched as Luna gleefully tossed aside the wolf's head and ran to Xiao Wan to boast, only to be grabbed by the neck and dragged to the bathroom by the clean-freak Xiao Wan…

Tessa pinched Yue Yi's butt in annoyance, and watched as the sturdy boy rubbed his butt and complained to her, disliking her for not working hard enough. She couldn't help but grab the boy's forehead and kiss him a few times in a fit of rage...

When the eagle cautiously peeked out to check the situation, he saw Tessa kneading her son. He said irritably, "Get to work, these wolf pelts are all for you..."

Tessa released Yue Yi, playfully stuck out her tongue at the mountain eagle, and said, "What would I do with so many wolf pelts? Thailand has absolutely no use for these things..."

Upon hearing this, Mountain Eagle said disdainfully, "Are you stupid? It's precisely because Thailand doesn't need it that this thing is a scarce resource there."

If you get a few designers to brainstorm ideas, these wolf pelts you 'hunted' yourself can be processed into decorative items, making for a wonderful gift.

Wearing fur in Thailand is something only a fool would do, but aren't those wolf teeth good for warding off evil spirits?
Don't you have a few familiar monks in your family?
"Sending these North American gray wolf fangs to a temple for consecration would make them a presentable gift for the king, and it wouldn't be out of place."

When Tessa heard that the eagle was thinking of her so much, she happily stood up, wanting to cuddle with him, but she tripped over the busy little girl Angel and almost fell...

Seeing Angel's apologetic but insincere expression, Tessa kicked Mountain Eagle's leg in annoyance and said, "These children all side with your wife. Haven't I been good enough to them?"

Mountain Eagle helped the filthy Tessa turn around and go inside, then said helplessly, "How long have you known them?"

"Get to work! I'm going to cook a wolf meat feast for supper later, and I promise you'll be the first to taste it!"

After saying that, Mountain Eagle tiptoed into the house. Just as he was about to prepare some peppercorns and star anise, his radio rang...

Razer said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Mountain Eagle, Cahon and the others have found that guy's family..."

Mountain Eagle paused for a moment, then said, "What's wrong? Isn't it good news that we found it?"

Razer said wearily, "The good news is that the family is still alive, the bad news is that Cahon and his group were tricked..."

Kerry Cantona's wife only has 30 euros in cash!

Worse still, wolves were also lurking near the hunter's lodge where they were, and Kahun and his men were now trapped.

Mountain Eagle comforted him, "30 is not a small amount. Cahun and his team not only save several lives but also receive 30 euros as a reward. This is considered a high-quality mission in the mercenary industry."

The wolf packs there can't be too big, so even if Kahun and his men can't bring anyone out, they should be able to survive there, right?

Razer said helplessly, "They hunted two gray wolves and a moose on their way there, so they definitely won't starve to death."

However, although the number of wolves roaming around the hunter's lodge is small, there are several young children inside. If Kahun and his group don't have backup, they certainly won't be able to get out.

Razer said in a low voice, "Mountain Eagle, the scale of the Wolf Plague is larger than I imagined. Almost all the villages along the northern Yukon have been affected."

The state government just issued a warning that National Guard troops will be deployed in three days to attempt to drive away the wolf pack using helicopters.

However, based on my understanding of them, they simply couldn't organize themselves in less than a week.

After listening, the mountain eagle asked curiously, "How many wolves are there in Alaska?"

The indigenous people were mostly hunters, but ordinary people also carried weapons...

Okay, even having weapons at night doesn't guarantee they'll be useful. What's going on?

Razer said in a deep voice, "I don't know. The explanation given by the state government is that the snow disaster made it difficult for wolves to find food, and at the same time, a large number of wild wolves crossed the border from Canada into Alaska."

We're not even in the worst-hit area; the situation is much worse east of Fairbanks!

Several French immigrant families have been confirmed to be missing...

Upon hearing this, the mountain eagle sighed softly and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Razer paused for a moment, then said, "We need helicopter assistance to effectively drive away the wolf pack during the day."

The large-scale wolf migration will bring winter hunting along the northern Yukon River to a complete halt, inevitably leading to food shortages in surrounding Indigenous villages.

Mountain Eagle thought for a moment and said, "The Brown Bear Camp has enough reserves. I can find a way to get some of the helicopters and supplies, but is it really as bad as you say?"

Is the state government really going to do nothing?
