CHAPTER 451: CHAPTER 418 CONVERGENCE

Mountain Eagle escaped from the depths of the mountain, and a series of events unfolded inside...

The loss of experimental subjects led to severe punishment for the security chief.

The disappearance of the gold from the pond likewise triggered a strict internal investigation.

At that moment, the entire lab went into battle readiness, with personnel even from the Russian Mission being mobilized.

When they found the giant wolf that guarded the west side hill boundary missing, the alert level would be raised again!

Having successfully rendezvoused at the edge of the swamp on the southwest side with the Butcher and the others who had hurried over...

Their expressions turned indescribably strange upon seeing a little tail following behind Mountain Eagle.

"Oh, who is this little girl?"

Old Qiao held back the agitated Big Dog Simone, and then glanced at Luna who started hopping around on board the boat, saying to Mountain Eagle: "Weren’t you out on a reconnaissance mission?

Where did you find a child?"

Mountain Eagle was determined to expose the events happening inside the mountain, so he didn’t hide it. He ordered Quida to set sail immediately, and then recounted everything he saw and heard...

Upon hearing that humans were being used as experimental subjects inside the mountain, Quida, who was piloting the boat, cursed all the way in Hindi and then loudly declared that he would rally all the tribes he knew and call on everyone to arm themselves and storm in.

It was part of what Mountain Eagle had anticipated, but they couldn’t rely on the natives alone...

Given the mountain’s internal firepower and those trained beasts, it would be suicide for the natives to go in.

Someone would need to smash in like a hammer, drawing all attention. Only then would Mountain Eagle have a chance to lead an assault with the natives and officials from Alaska, helping him rescue all the women and children.

He couldn’t do it alone, nor could he offer subsequent help to those women...

It was the United States Government’s responsibility, and they couldn’t be given any opportunity or excuse to shirk it!

Watching Quida filled with righteous indignation, and Old Qiao with a dark expression, Mountain Eagle sighed, saying: "I was there, so I’m angrier than you...

At that moment, I wanted to kill everyone inside, and I still do!

But I couldn’t engage so many people at once in such a confined space, nor could I ensure the safety of the women and children.

We need help, not just the natives...

The events inside that mountain are a stain on the honor of all of Alaska and even the United States; they must take responsibility."

Old Qiao sternly shook his head, saying: "No, they won’t. Those big corporation folks will wash their hands clean of everything and leave us to deal with the aftermath."

With that, Old Qiao shook his head despondently: "Nobody cares about what’s happening in Alaska...

For those big shots, this is just an incident in the mountains of Alaska."

Mountain Eagle slightly nodded in agreement: "You’re right, for many big shots, this is just an incident.

But not for many others...

Most people in this world feel the same as you and me, when facing such inhuman acts, they would shout out loud even if they lack the power to intervene!

Justice does exist in this world, the issue is how many people we can spread the truth to!"

Saying this, Mountain Eagle looked at Old Qiao whose expression had slightly softened, and he earnestly said: "Regarding this, I’ll find a way.

I need your help to persuade Wayne and others to avoid conflicts with the mountain’s people at this stage.

Have them wait for me, maybe 5 days, maybe 10, I will definitely have an answer.

They may not be satisfied, but I assure you many will pay a bloody price for this!"

Mountain Eagle’s tone was not fierce as he spoke, but Old Qiao could see a bone-chilling murderous intent in his eyes...

Old Qiao fell silent for a moment, then slightly nodded and said: "We’ll do as you say, I’ve dealt with wild beasts all my life, Alaska has raised me!

Before I die, I should do something good for Alaska, take down those sons of bitches, so that Alaska’s snow won’t be shamed."

Mountain Eagle glanced at Old Qiao and shook his head, saying: "You’re old, but I reckon you’re not going to die anytime soon!

No need for your old bones to go risking it all..."

Luna got two candies from Daria and happily stashed one away, then while holding the other, she wiggled into Mountain Eagle’s arms and rubbed the candy on his lips...

"Daddy, try this..."

Mountain Eagle opened his mouth, seeing Luna’s tender expression, he pretended to take a bite and said: "I tasted it, it’s very sweet, but unfortunately my teeth aren’t good, you eat it for me..."

Luna, upon hearing this, nodded vigorously, stuffed the candy into her mouth, then looking at Mountain Eagle with a smile she said: "Daddy, it’s very sweet, my teeth won’t be bad, I will be happy every day..."

Luna had a round little face, a small nose, big eyes, and a cartoonish allure, with hair on her head like stubborn weeds that refused to be tamed.

As she broke into a delighted grin like that of a triumphant little fox who had just stolen a chicken, Mountain Eagle cupped her cheeks with his hands and squeezed gently, then turning to Quida, he said, "Quida, let’s head back to camp. If we spot any suitable prey on the way, we’ll take some with us..."

Quida glanced at Luna, who was lying by the boat’s side curiously sipping the chilly air through her mouth. He nodded and said, "You’re the boss. Whatever you say, goes!

Count me in when it comes to dealing with those people!"

With that, Quida sped up the boat, muttering curses under his breath, "In Alaska, only those oil-drilling hearts in the north are dark as night. We cannot let the darkness spread to other places..."

Mountain Eagle heard what Quida said. At first, he didn’t think much of it, but then something crossed his mind, and he asked with curiosity, "Quida, where did the werewolf legend you mentioned to me before take place?"

Quida paused, then replied, "It’s a legend from near Noixot, the very north of Alaska. What about it?"

Mountain Eagle didn’t answer Quida’s question. Instead he frowned and looked at Old Qiao and said, "The Dimension Card Company bought the land around that mountain two years ago. The mountain also underwent changes around that time, right?"

Old Qiao shook his head slightly and said, "I’m not from here. If you want to know the specifics, you’d better ask Old Ruby.

But the timing from two years ago should be correct!"

Mountain Eagle held onto Luna to prevent her from falling into the river. Looking at the child’s little face, he said, "Luna must be around four years old, and there are older children in the lab.

If the Dimension Card Company came here two years ago, that means they had set up the lab somewhere else before that.

You all saw those giant wolves. I don’t believe in so-called werewolf legends; I’m more inclined to believe it’s someone in wolf skin leading a pack of wolves to hunt, or rather, to experiment."

While speaking, Mountain Eagle looked at Old Qiao and Quida, and said, "Such lab relocations are costly and labor-intensive!

Did anything major happen up north two years ago?"

Old Qiao and Quida exchanged glances, then nodded and said, "Three years ago, in summer, there was a conflict in Alpine, up north.

The government claimed it was a polar bear attack on an oil company camp, but locals all knew someone attacked that place.

Many people died, but since the oil company had its own independent security system, they refused an investigation, and the matter eventually fell through.

I’m not too clear on the details, but if you want to know, I can ask some old friends after we get back to camp."

Mountain Eagle nodded heavily, saying, "I saw the setup inside; it was all too hasty. Given their operations, it seemed too rudimentary.

Those inside were not short on money; this only suggests they lacked time.

They’ve been at this not for one or two years, but for five or even ten years!

We need to find out all the blood debts they’ve racked up, compile a list, and make them pay.

If they’ve really been attacked in the past, we might find extra forces to help us."

Mountain Eagle’s way of thinking determines his approach to solving problems, which is different from ordinary people.

Most think linearly, latching onto a clue to dig deeper, then following the enemy’s trail to find a solution.

But Mountain Eagle, with almost no clues, chooses to deduce through the enemy’s intent, the so-called effect-to-cause reasoning.

I have few clues, but I know your purpose, so I’ll use your goals as a starting point, retrospectively deducing your actions, attempting to intercept them midway.

By eliminating all the illogical options, one can piece together the enemy’s likely behavior logic.

The difficulty of such reverse tracking depends on the enemy’s complexity...

Black Fox was precisely that kind of most complicated and cunning enemy. Every time Mountain Eagle thought he found an important piece of the puzzle, he quickly realized he needed to find more pieces, and with each new piece, more questions arose.

However, this level of cat-and-mouse game was just what he needed to counteract some of the violent intent festering in his brain, helping him remain as calm as possible and seek rational solutions to problems.

As Mountain Eagle was deep in thought, Quida steered the boat past where they had encountered the brown bear the day before...

Luna lay by the side of the boat, dipping her hand into the water, reveling in the joy of her fingertips breaking the surface. Every time she startled a fish into the deep water, she would squeal with delight...

Mountain Eagle really liked the happy Luna, clutching at her clothes to keep her from falling into the water, watching her brimming with curiosity at everything, screaming with excitement at each new thing she saw; he suddenly felt that sometimes happiness was indeed simple...

As long as one keeps the passion for the world alive, it seems everything could be a surprise!

And just as Luna was immersed in the wonder of discovery, a strange huge head emerged from the water and collided with the small boat...

A "bang" rang out, and the boat slightly jolted upon the water surface...

Little Luna was jarred, her body bouncing once, and then her head bumped against the gunwale...

Mountain Eagle immediately pulled Luna back, seeing a lump forming on the girl’s forehead that was visible to the naked eye.

He expected the girl to cry, but to his surprise, Luna rubbed her forehead, inhaled sharply a couple of times, then turned to Mountain Eagle with a radiant smile...

"Daddy, I just saw a bear...

I’m not hurt at all, let me have another look..."
