Chapter 23: Ending the Wolf Pack

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The mutated wolves died one after another, but Su Chen was completely unharmed.

They kept changing their formation to get an upper hand.

The wolves circled around Su Chen, running both clockwise or counterclockwise.

Those that were closer to Su Chen lowered their bodies.

Their huge claws were ready to pounce him at any time.

Suddenly, they jumped in from all directions at the same time.

Su Chen dodged skillfully and killed all of them with his Thunder Blade.

Not only did the mutated wolves have the advantage in terms of numbers, but they also possess a certain amount of intelligence.

They would target Su Chen’s weak point and if they missed, they would quickly retreat.

…

Another pack of mutated wolves attacked Su Chen from all directions with their sharp claws and teeth.

They were relentless.

The battle was intense.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

A circle was formed by the rapid rotation of the body.

A blue light was emitting from the Thunder Blade.

More and more mutated wolves’ corpses piled up. Blood was splattered everywhere.

Heart-wrenching shrieks that made people’s hair stand could be heard!

Many of the wolves had been eliminated and the rest stopped attacking.

However, they kept baring their teeth and howling! 

They had no intention of retreating.

Su Chen did not let down his guard just because the wolves had stopped attacking.

Killing them was not a problem. 

If one attacked, he would kill it. If two attacked, he would kill both.

However, the number of mutated wolves surrounding him was not dwindling.

No matter how many he killed, it was not enough.

If this continued, things would go south for him.

He would be exhausted.

Su Chen began thinking and took a few steps back.

To avoid the wolves’ attack, Su Chen had to move quickly.

Sometimes, he would jump and flip!

When he landed on the ground, he would hear an echo. It was as if the ground below was hollow. 

“Dong dong”.

Su Chen jumped a few more times to confirm his theory. The continuous jumping and landing of the wolves ironically helped as well.

After verifying it a few times, Su Chen was confident that the space below was empty.

He smiled faintly.

Su Chen jumped around once again. He tried to get a better grasp of the underground space.

Then, he decided on a position and stood there.

The wolves surrounded Su Chen again.

‘Stupid wolves, I’ll send all of you to your doom.’

Su Chen pulled out his Thunder Blade and rushed towards the mutated wolves in front of him.

The wolves also charged forward.

After killing a few wolves, Su Chen moved clockwise around the inner circle.

At the same time, he stabbed his Thunder Blade into the ground.

Just as he was about to complete one circle, he quickly moved towards the center of the circle.

After this series of actions ended, Su Chen suddenly stopped moving.

He sat cross-legged and started to meditate calmly.

There was still a smile on his face.

The wolves observed him for a while.

He was really not moving.

They slowly narrowed the encirclement and got closer to Su Chen step by step.

The mutated wolves licked their teeth and began drooling.

Their deep blue eyes were staring at Su Chen intensely.

They wanted to tear him apart as soon as possible!

Just as the mutated wolves were about to bite Su Chen, he stood up and jumped with full force.

The fragile space was unable to bear the weight.

“Crash!”

Along with a circled part of the ground, the mutated wolves fell down.

“Rumble.”

Following the rumbling sound, the wolves’ cries could be heard. 

Su Chen, who had tied a rope around his waist earlier, was floating in the air elegantly.

He looked down.

The hole was almost a hundred feet deep.

This was probably an underground project that was abandoned.

The wolves continued to howl miserably.

Some of them tried to jump up but to no avail.

…

Su Chen tightened the rope and landed safely above the hole.

He could see the mutated wolves’ blue eyes flashing from below.

…

Anyway, Su Chen quickly rushed to the periphery of the nuclear power plant.

He saw a newly dug pit on the ground beside the gate.

That made him suspicious.

Without any hesitation, he put on his protective suit, took out his equipment, and adjusted the radiation monitor.

He broke the lock on the door and entered the main area of the nuclear power plant.

Although the building had been abandoned for many years, the exterior still looked relatively new.

The whole building was gray in color.

Two or three thick white pillars stood out.

There was no sign of life in the surroundings, exuding a depressing atmosphere.

As soon as he entered, Su Chen looked up and spotted the tallest building.

There was a big red “3” on it.

That was the number three reactor, where the nuclear leak happened.

Su Chen quickly ran in that direction.

He was about to arrive when he saw three huge figures.

It was the mutated wolves.

They were obediently lying at the entrance of the building like gatekeepers.

As expected, the mutated wolves had turned the nuclear power plant into their den.

In a way, it looked rather funny.

‘Are they guarding something?’

Su Chen quickly killed them off and entered the building.

Based on what the nuclear radiation detector seller said, the leakage should be under this building.

Su Chen turned on the nuclear radiation detector and walked towards the basement.

As soon as he arrived at the basement, he became puzzled.

Instead of ferocious beasts, he saw three teenagers shivering in the corner.

It was rather unexpected..
