Chapter 252: Chapter 178: Escaping to the North._2
As a member of the military's New Human Squadron, such threats were the utmost taboo,
But he couldn't care less about that now, he just wanted to lead his brothers to survive!
Under Major Bob's threatening voice, the person on the other end remained calm and unhurried, "Major Bob, please be rational. Before coming here, we all knew this was an exploration with the slimmest chance of survival, so why are you so irritable on the brink of death? We are all people who have broken free from the genetic shackles, we shouldn't still be slaves to our genes,
However, I can't just stand by and watch you die. I've already sent a battalion of soldiers to rescue you, to carve out a bloody path for you, but it's not so you can return, rather so you can continue exploring further north!"
Bob was infuriated to the extreme by the words on the other end: "Continue exploring north? Are you insane? Isn't the discovery of such a powerful Traveling Rat Pack enough? What kind of species could survive in the bitterly cold north?"
The commander of the reinforcing troops on the communication device still didn't acknowledge Bob's rage, continuing calmly, "Of course that discovery isn't enough. We are here to explore the entire Arctic, and furthermore, traces of a Wolf Pack have been found to the north, and the Wolf Pack is also migrating northward.
So I can rescue you, but after the rescue, you must lead your team members to continue the northern exploration..."
The words were chilling, brutally tearing away the veil of modesty!
Even in such peril, even after having encountered an attack from a terrifying Traveling Rat Pack, Bob and his team had to keep exploring northward.
Bob even discerned an unusual flavor from these words.
Traces of a Wolf Pack found in the Arctic?
Considering they are the vanguard exploration unit and they hadn't encountered any Wolf Packs, how could the reinforcing troops have known?
Unless, the New Human Squadron that came on this exploration wasn't just them!
Struck by this realization, Bob, in his anger, suddenly calmed down.
Yes, how could the military high command put all its eggs in one basket?
And their unit, at the forefront of the exploration as New Human Squadrons, were probably just seen as lab rats to trek roads, in the eyes of the decision-makers!
How could they stop the exploration because they were attacked?
Bob, now calm, gritted his teeth and controlled his emotions as he said, "You don't value our lives, aren't you afraid we'll rebel and take you down with us?"
Bob's words made the commander of the reinforcements on the other end let out two scoffs before saying, "Ha ha, Major Bob, try not to be so impulsive. After all, your families still have to live under official governance. Actually, there's some truth in what you said over the radio—you might die in battle, and at most we would give your families some compensation money.
We wouldn't really waste resources on ordinary people like your families."
Saying this, the commander of the reinforcements stopped chuckling and became extremely serious and icy, "But if you dare to rebel, trust me, I have people who will make your whole family, along with everyone you care about, live a fate worse than death.
They'll ensure your son becomes a slave, trampled underfoot, and that your wife and daughters get injected with certain potions, turning into sows that only exist to satisfy others. By then, even death would be a luxury for them!"
The commander's words completely shattered Bob's defenses!
Any man's Achilles' heel is inevitably his family!
So, Bob, weeping bitterly, yelled, "You bastards! A bunch of devils! You'll go to hell after you die!"
But Bob knew in his heart that what the commander had said was the truth, and they could only continue the northern exploration; there was no turning back!
After a moment, Bob, having regained his composure, resumed calling on his squad members over the radio to desperately hold off the onslaught of the Rat Tide, waiting for the reinforcements to arrive.
"Fight for humanity!"
In the radio, this phrase would occasionally emerge, full of spirit, yet also brimming with bitterness and mockery.
Shortly after, the reinforcing troops, numbering over a thousand, appeared on the battlefield, bringing with them countless artillery pieces, multiple rocket launchers, rising armed helicopters, and the sweeping Sixth Generation Invincible Warplanes, all arrived!
They forcefully created a bloody pathway through the terrifying Rat Tide for Bob and his team.
But it wasn't long before an endless counterattack from the Rat Tide came, with not only the original two Exotic Beasts but also several more additions!
Among them, one giant Traveling Rat reached a size of eight or nine meters.
One can imagine the overwhelming power of a Traveling Rat that grows to eight or nine meters in size!
"Squeak!"
With one resounding cry that shattered the instruments of several armed helicopters, they crashed down in flames!
The giant Traveling Rat, moving at a speed of two to three hundred meters per second, was as swift as the wind, and no tank or artillery could take aim at it!
Amidst the flurries of ice and snow, countless heavy armored vehicles overturned, countless cannons smashed to scrap with a single strike!
Many human elite soldiers watched the giant Traveling Rat, their eyes filled with terror.
However, in the midst of the Rat Tide and the bloodbath involving thousands, Major Bob and his New Human Squadron's few remaining heavy armored vehicles managed to break through the encirclement. Although only a dozen or so survived, ultimately they remained alive!
But those who survived still faced the task of venturing further north into the Arctic.
Having just reached the outer edge of the Arctic, they encountered such a terrifying Rat Tide. No one knew what kinds of horrific mutated creatures they would encounter next.
As for the human soldiers behind them, Bob knew they would likely be buried in the Rat Tide.
And it was just days after this gruesome battle on the Arctic Tundra that the backup troops managed to send back to human society the harrowing account of the Rat Pack they had discovered during the battle.
The footage and photographs taken caused an uproar in human society the moment they were released.
The leaders of all major powers were horrified by the footage and photographs of the terrifying Rat Pack.
In the Harsh Arctic, where signals disappeared, truly terrifying mutated creatures had emerged!
Now that initial discoveries had been made in the Arctic, how far away could discoveries of terrifying mutated creatures in the Antarctic, Tropical Rainforest, and other regions be?
The danger index of this giant Traveling Rat and its pack, after discussion by various parties and analysis by the Science Alliance, skyrocketed to number thirty-seven on the Exotic Beast danger index list!
This was still due to the lack of detailed data; otherwise, the ranking of this giant Traveling Rat might have been even higher.

Those that made it onto the Exotic Beast danger index list were mutated creatures that humans, even with their technological weapons, could not exterminate; hence, each creature's strength was terrifying to the extreme!
At the same time, all factions confirmed Russia's fastest discovery in their exploration of the Arctic and were more attentive to subsequent discoveries in the Arctic.
If even more terrifying mutated creatures were discovered, what measures should humanity take in response?
Many leaders of the powers were worried.
....
And it was during this time that Su Lin, in the Land of Adventure of the Arctic, was unaware of this enormous battle between technological and genetic forces in his southern territory.
It had already been several days since he united the Land of Adventure.
In these days, Su Lin naturally distributed Variant Species Flesh as rewards to the entire Wolf Pack after the battle!
After uniting the Land of Adventure, Su Lin once again found more than seventy Energy Fruits in various territories and caves of the Exotic Species.
Most were found in the dens of the Arctic Silver Fox and the Variant Species of Falcon.
After harvesting those seventy plus Energy Fruits, Su Lin generously distributed more than twenty Energy Fruits according to the merits of the battle.
Little Lone Wolf, slayer of a Variant Species Traveling Rat, received six,
Cousin and Fox Wolf, slayers of thirteen Exotic Beasts below level 10 and tame masters of twenty more level 10 species, obtained a total of eight Energy Fruits, five for Cousin, three for Fox Wolf.
Xiao Hui, Xiao Bai, Warm Bear, and White Bear also killed several Arctic Silver Foxes, each Exotic Species receiving two fruits.
Each had previously been rewarded with the essence of Flying Beast Exotic Species, so naturally they received fewer Energy Fruits.
The remaining members of the Wolf Clan and Bear Clan also received plenty of Variant Species Flesh,
and in this time of digestion and absorption, every member of the Wolf Pack could be said to be rapidly enhancing their individual strength.
Currently, aside from some Ordinary Species, almost all Exotic Species within this harsh, adventurous land belonged to the Wolf Pack!
Now the number of Exotic Species in the Wolf Pack had reached an all-time Peak, and still, the Wolf Pack was expanding.
Ordinary Wolf, Maimed Ear, Xiao Bai, and others were still recruiting wandering members of the Wolf Clan and Bear Clan from the Land of Adventure and the cold outskirts of the Arctic Tundra.
With the increase in numbers, the surging aura of the Wolf Pack was becoming increasingly formidable.
