Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger
Chapter 454 - 420
CHAPTER 454: CHAPTER 420
When Mountain Eagle and his team returned to the camp, they unexpectedly discovered that Wayne and the others, whom they had sworn to protect, were back, and with them were several seriously injured members...
The atmosphere in the camp was extremely heavy!
Mountain Eagle had Luna carry a backpack with a bear cub inside, then he himself carried another cub ashore.
Looking at Little Ruby with dark circles under her eyes, she was running about, commanding several Indians to lift an injured person onto a seaplane parked next to the dock, then pulling at the pilot, pleading for him to wait a little longer...
Mountain Eagle furrowed his brow as he arrived at the center of the camp. He saw several Indians lying on stretchers with obvious severe injuries from wild animal bites and instantly realized something...
After exchanging a glance with Old Qiao, Mountain Eagle ran back to his tent and rummaged for a moment, taking out several first-aid kits and handing them to Butcher and Daria, saying, "There are antibiotics inside, help with..."
Butcher, one of Russia’s four-man squad, was an ’amateur veterinarian’ who only knew basic hemostasis and first aid.
Daria, being a woman, was slightly better, at least she could help with suturing wounds.
Both of their skills were quite mediocre, but for a makeshift treatment, they could at least keep the injured from losing too much blood.
Mountain Eagle also knew a bit, but that bit wasn’t suited for assisting ordinary people in non-lethal situations.
Seeing that the order on the scene had improved slightly with the addition of Butcher and Daria, Mountain Eagle pulled Wayne, who had a sorrowful face, aside and said, "What happened? Or what did you encounter?"
Wayne glanced at Mountain Eagle with a low tone, "Wolves, very large wolves!
We lost six people, one of them lost a hand, the others all took serious injuries...
This may be a warning from our god, telling us to leave this place!"
Mountain Eagle took out his phone, pulled up a photo of a giant wolf’s corpse, and said, "Did you encounter this?"
Wayne was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, it was them, 6 of them, we severely injured 6 people dealing with them!"
Speaking of which, Wayne looked at Mountain Eagle in surprise and said, "You encountered them too?"
Mountain Eagle nodded and said, "I encountered them too, and there were 12!
Actually, these are all gene-modified beasts from a lab in the mountains. Their size and strength are greater than their peers, but these beasts can’t survive the winters of Alaska."
As he spoke, Mountain Eagle scrolled through the photos, showing Wayne the images he captured inside the lab. Watching Wayne’s complexion turn exceptionally unsightly, Mountain Eagle spoke in a stern voice, "This is why they didn’t let you in!
I want to destroy that damned place, will you help me?"
Wayne looked at the photos of the pregnant women lying on hospital beds, nodding firmly, "They are all demons, and demons deserve Hell!
Count me in, when do we go?"
Mountain Eagle glanced toward where the injured were and shook his head, "Pal, what you need to do first is to take care of these injured, then call the authorities to report what happened here so that the police can make a written record."
Speaking of this, Mountain Eagle saw Wayne’s reluctant expression and spoke helplessly, "Pal, don’t think about throwing yourself into everything you run into.
I like your individual heroism, but the bad guys would love that too!
Trust me, you pay taxes, letting the police uphold justice for you is your basic right.
Even if you think they can’t do anything, you need to lay the groundwork for what you’re about to do.
Trust me, call the police, let them document what happened and report it...
Then I’ll figure out how to get a corpse of a giant wolf, that kind of big guy naturally attracts media attention. As long as we can get enough media focus, we can do more afterward."
Wayne didn’t understand Mountain Eagle’s roundabout approach, frowning, "You want those carrying cameras to come here to deal with the demons in the mountains?"
Mountain Eagle patiently explained, "Is it possible that the demons in the mountains, because they feared outside attention, that’s why they’ve been hiding there for those hellish experiments?
Only by letting more people know about the existence of these demons can we gather more strength to utterly destroy them and restores peace to these woods!"
After listening, Wayne was silent for a long time, then nodded a few minutes later, "I understand, I’ll call the Sheriff in Marshall. Although he can’t do much, I’ll call him..."
Mountain Eagle nodded earnestly and said, "That’s right, you call the Sheriff and make sure he follows protocol to report.
Then I can mobilize people I know in Anchorage to bring more power and stuff here.
Don’t do anything unnecessary, follow my lead, and I promise I’ll give you a desired outcome, how about that?"
Wayne, who probably had never dealt with the Sheriff in his life, hesitated at Mountain Eagle’s request to follow his lead, "What should I tell him then?"
Mountain Eagle rubbed his nose with a bit of a headache and said, "Your people have been hurt by a giant wolf, a dangerous beast has appeared in Alaska, how was this handled in the past?"
Wayne thought for a moment and said, "In the past, when there was a problem with an overabundance of wolves, the State Government would allocate funds and then invite Hunters to hunt down those things."
Mountain Eagle clapped his hands, "Exactly, you inform the Sheriff, let him report it, and when the outside world’s media pays attention, we showcase a corpse of a giant wolf.
When the existence of the giant wolves hits the news, we can find ways to amplify the impact of the incident..."
As he spoke, Mountain Eagle saw a puzzled expression reappear on Wayne’s face, and he sighed, "Although we’ve only met for the second time, I consider you as my friend and our goals align..."
"I trust you, do you trust me?"
Wayne’s usually stern face softened for a moment, and he tugged at the corners of his mouth to look very serious, then nodded and said, "I believe you!"
After speaking, Wayne glanced at the injured people and said to Mountain Eagle: "When do you plan to hunt those giant wolves? I’ll go with you!"
Mountain Eagle looked at Luna, who was sitting in his tent watching over two bear cubs, and sighed, saying, "I need to make arrangements for the children first...
You also need to take care of the injured, right?
Old Qiao, Quida, and my guys all have experience dealing with those giant wolves. Today you called the Sheriff to come over, and then we’ll set out tomorrow..."
Wayne didn’t know why Mountain Eagle always involved so many people when taking action, but since Mountain Eagle had always been helping them, he couldn’t think of a reason for Mountain Eagle to betray them, so in the end, he still managed to suppress the anger in his heart and chose to nod...
After having dealt with Wayne, Mountain Eagle found Little Ruby, who looked like he hadn’t slept for a long time...
Seeing this guy bustling around, Mountain Eagle sighed and said, "How long has it been since you last slept?"
Little Ruby’s tongue was a bit tied as he said, "Two, two days, I sent the guy injured by the animal trap to the hospital, then I slept for a few hours there...
Boss, I wanted to clean up the garbage in the camp as you requested, but I didn’t manage to finish before Wayne brought in the injured.
My plane is too small and can only carry one person at a time, Old Ruby wouldn’t let me overwork, so I paid for a seaplane...
Sorry, boss, to get them here quickly, I promised them extra free fuel..."
Little Ruby’s innocence and sincerity touched Mountain Eagle; he might not be smart, but he was committed to the very best part of humanity.
Unity and mutual aid are humanity’s magic weapons to fight against nature and survive to this day!
Little Ruby was practising this conventional habit very well!
Looking at Little Ruby’s dark circles, Mountain Eagle patted him on the arm and said, "The seaplane has arrived, the injured won’t die!
Since you’re not flying, go get some sleep...
You’re important to the camp, and I need you to stay awake when I need you!"
Little Ruby shook his head vigorously after hearing this and said, "Boss, the seaplane can’t fit them all, I need to monitor the Anchorage airport and urge them to send more planes."
Mountain Eagle saw the anxious look in Little Ruby’s eyes, thought for a moment, and took out the satellite phone. He was just about to call the lawyer in Anchorage to help when the sound of a plane’s engine suddenly filled the sky...
A Cessna circled around in the sky, then the pilot used the radio to ask for help from the camp to guide the runway location...
Little Ruby didn’t know where this plane came from, but he excitedly grabbed the radio and drove a quad bike towards the direction of the makeshift runway...
Mountain Eagle wasn’t idle either; he signaled to Wayne to have people lift the injured onto stretchers and start heading towards the runway, and then he himself returned to the tent...
Watching the two hungry bear cubs constantly tearing at Luna’s clothes, and thinking of the chaotic camp, Mountain Eagle helplessly scratched his head...
Just when he didn’t know what to do, Wayne’s son Jesse appeared at the entrance of the tent, poking his head and timidly said, "Do you need help? I have a reindeer that is nursing...
Give me a good hunting rifle that can shoot wolves, and I’ll help feed the two bear cubs."
"Deal!"
Mountain Eagle embraced Timely Rain Jesse forcefully and smiled, saying, "I now owe you a hunting rifle; hurry and bring the reindeer over..."
Speaking, Mountain Eagle turned to catch Luna who was helping the bear cubs destroy her sleeping bag, letting down feathers scatter everywhere, and looked at the girl’s innocent face, helplessly saying, "Are you hungry?
A lot of guests have come to the camp; how about we cook together and invite them to eat?
My cooking isn’t bad; do you prefer reindeer meat or beef?"
Luna thought about it after hearing it, touching her mouth corner, and said, "I haven’t tasted either before, I could only eat meat paste and mashed potatoes.
Are those you mentioned tastier than mashed potatoes?"
Mountain Eagle paused for a moment, then said, "I’m a father, and a father’s cooking is definitely tastier than mashed potatoes...
What if I make a super-size beef and potato dish and invite everyone to eat it?"
Watching Luna nodding vigorously, Mountain Eagle smiled, set her down on the ground, found her a small stool to sit on, then went to the storeroom and moved a basket of potatoes...
First, he used two potatoes to deal with the two hungry, delirious bear cubs, then handed a spoon to Luna to peel the potatoes...
It wasn’t until Jesse brought a reindeer to the front of the tent that Mountain Eagle called Daria over, asked her to watch the two children and peel potatoes, and then he started preparing the meal...
When faced with a situation where one can’t be of help, if one doesn’t want to be the one who adds to the chaos, one should learn to find order in the busyness, and then do things that most people overlook but are actually very important.
Order is contagious...
When Mountain Eagle took the lead in cooking, the Indian women who were left in the camp looking lost quickly gathered around to help.
Mountain Eagle simply assigned tasks, and an orderly area quickly formed.
While Mountain Eagle was busy preparing dinner for everyone, an unexpected person interrupted his work...
