Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger

Razer trudged through the snowy forest with two children...

Ten-year-old Zack insisted on walking by himself, while the younger Yue Yi sat on a plastic sled being pulled forward by a Magengxi Wolf.

On another sled originally meant for Zack in emergencies lay a man whose face was covered with blood.

Nearly a meter of snow made their journey extremely difficult, not to mention they were dragging someone who seemed frozen stiff.

The three had been in the forest for almost four hours since leaving after setting up animal traps in the morning.

Razer and Yue Yi were in much better physical condition than most, so they felt fine, but Zack was already very tired.

Razer looked at the sky, turned his head to glance at Zack, who was keeping pace with him, and nodded approvingly...

Hearing Mountain Eagle's voice over the radio, Razer stopped by a large tree, pulled Zack, who was gasping for breath, and the sled carrying the injured person to the leeward side of the tree, then glanced at Yue Yi, who was half-buried in the snow after jumping off the sled...

Razer sighed, pulled Yue Yi over, and, holding the radio, said, "This is Razer, we're on our way down the mountain, heading home.

But we've run into a bit of trouble..."

Mountain Eagle paused on the other end and asked, "Are the two kids okay? Do you need help?"

Razer glanced at the dense forest and mountainous terrain around them and shook his head, saying, "The kids are fine. The snowmobiles can't get through here, so you can't really help us."

Razer looked at the injured man with shallow breathing and, holding the radio, said, "Mountain Eagle, I have an injured person here. Have Lilith ready; this guy's pretty badly hurt.

We should reach the north side of the village in about 45 minutes..."

Mountain Eagle, hearing the children were okay, breathed a slight sigh of relief, asking, "What's the injured person's situation? How did someone end up here in this weather?"

Razer tousled the heads of the two children feeding the Magengxi Wolves and said, "I don't know exactly what happened...

There are many Hunter's Lodges in the northern mountains; every year, some people seeking solitude go there to live alone.

I heard gunshots in the morning, so when setting up the animal traps with the kids, I checked it out.

Then I found this guy had been attacked by a Wolf Pack..."

Mountain Eagle, intrigued, asked, "A Wolf Pack?

I've never heard of a Wolf Pack daring to attack humans, especially armed ones..."

Razer looked at the snow-laden sky and replied somewhat helplessly, "Mountain Eagle, extreme cold affects not just humans but animals too.

The snow makes it hard for the Wolf Pack to run, and they're starving..."

Mountain Eagle didn't continue to interrupt Razer and decisively said, "Keep moving forward; I'll arrange for Balang to come with two Magengxi Wolves and a sled to provide support."

Razer exhaled slightly with relief, saying, "That's good, we can get back sooner so Zack can catch his breath."

With that, Razer packed away the radio, hefting Yue Yi onto his back, then pushed Zack onto the sled, and with a whistle to the two Magengxi Wolves that had finished their dog food, increased their pace.

......

Back at the cabin, Mountain Eagle was not idle. He found Balang, who was admonishing his two sons, tousled the fur of the two over-one-year-old Malinois, and instructed Balang to take the Magengxi Wolves and sled to intercept Razer.

Mountain Eagle, observing through a bionic drone, could see clearly that Razer was reliable, and the two children were unharmed, but the injured person's condition was dire; if they didn't speed up a bit, he might not survive to reach the village.

After sending Balang on his way, Xiao Wan approached Mountain Eagle with concern and quietly asked, "Did something happen?"

Mountain Eagle glanced at Xiao Wan, who looked worried, and shook his head, saying, "Razer and the kids are fine; they just came across an injured person on the way."

Xiao Wan, upon hearing this, became a bit tense and said, "An injured person? How could there be such a coincidence?

I've heard from Razer's family that most of the northern mountainous areas are uninhabited. How did someone end up here?"

Mountain Eagle sensed Xiao Wan's nervousness, as the previous incident at Brown Bear Camp was still vivid in her memory. A place that should have been quiet and safe suddenly hosted an unexpected guest, understandably causing her distress.

Mountain Eagle, comforting Xiao Wan with an arm around her shoulder, said, "Don't worry, it's probably just a coincidence. Razer is a real old gun—if he suspected anything was amiss, he wouldn't have bothered to help the guy back.

Besides, someone reckless enough to nearly freeze themselves in the mountains isn't a threat to you, right?"

Xiao Wan shook her head with a complex expression and said, "I'm not worried about myself; worst-case scenario, I wouldn't leave the country, where I'm certainly safe.

I'm worried about you, Tessa, and those you care about...

I know your character. I know how you react in different situations; if..."

Mountain Eagle waved his hand to stop Xiao Wan from continuing and said seriously, "Don't worry, although I have many enemies, I'll give them ample warning.

I put a lot of effort into setting up a battlefield in Alaska, achieving a decisive victory—not to show off, much less to capture a few prisoners.

I promise, within six months, I'll mark a clear boundary in the minds of everyone with ill intentions toward me.

"I will do everything I can to make all my enemies delete the option of 'hurting Mountain Eagle's family' from their minds."

After saying this, Mountain Eagle glanced at the pile of luggage he had pulled on the sled, and said with a smile, "Get some people to help, I brought quite a lot of things, there's plenty of food inside...

They say you guys are seriously short of vegetables here, my bag has a lot of freshly picked vegetables from the greenhouse, you can make a vegetable soup tonight, and a salad, I brought a few bags of hot pot base, I'll slice some beef and lamb later...

In this weather, having spicy hot pot indoors is definitely something special!"

Xiao Wan had no argument with Mountain Eagle, she saw a few snowmobiles driving out of the yard of Razer's house heading north of the village, she pushed Mountain Eagle, pointed to Lilith who had already brought out the medicine box, and said, "Take Lilith with you to check, I'll let Griffin and them help to bring the luggage inside...

Go quickly, saving a life is always right!"

Mountain Eagle touched Xiao Wan's somewhat dry and peeling lips, with a smile he said, "Then I'll go over and see, when I get back, I'll go fetch water from the lake, today by any means you need a hot bath and I'll fix the washer and dryer."

Lilith, watching the boss and his wife being all mushy, sat on the snowmobile and coughed twice, finding no one paid her any mind, she rolled her eyes...

Mountain Eagle glared at the tomboy, forcefully pushed Xiao Wan into the house, then walked in large strides to the snowmobile, got on and squeezed Lilith to the back seat...

Feeling a bit tight, Mountain Eagle uncomfortably shifted his butt, starting up the snowmobile he drove off saying, "Lilith, you need to lose weight, your massive rear is taking up space..."

Lilith protested unhappily, "Hey, boss, have some respect for the doctor, what you should be looking at is my professional skills, not my behind..."

As Lilith opened her mouth, Mountain Eagle suddenly accelerated, making her swallow a mouthful of cold wind...

Hearing the coughing behind, Mountain Eagle snorted and said, "Eagle Claw told me that although you put on a tough exterior, inside you're a Little Princess.

I've taken up the task of finding a boyfriend for you, you and Tiffany really should lose weight, otherwise it's hard for me to convince those elites to come and date you guys."

After a few minutes the snowmobile reached the edge of the woods, stopping by a frozen creek...

Seeing Kahong and Roger who had picked him up earlier busy organizing a large sled, Mountain Eagle gave Lilith a push, saying, "Stop spacing out, go up and help..."

Speaking, Mountain Eagle walked to Razer's son-in-law Roger, watching him laying out a rolled-up animal hide on the sled, curiously asking, "What are you doing? Sending the injured to town immediately?"

Roger was quite honest, hearing Mountain Eagle's question, he pulled down the mask on his face, exhaled a cloud of mist, and said, "It's going to get dark soon, there's no way to send people away at this time...

But Razer says that guy's not going to make it, he needs lots of warm stuff.

There's a vacant cabin in the village, Moro's there making a fire, we're sending that guy over to stay a night, and tomorrow take him to town."

Mountain Eagle saw Kahong beside him spreading out two deer skin sleeping bags, making a nest-like shape, he said with a smile, "Seems the situation is quite severe, otherwise it wouldn't be such a hassle, just one foot on the accelerator."

Kahong glanced at the medical box Lilith brought, his mask pulled down with a serious expression said, "Dad told me about that guy's situation, found him when he'd been lying in the snow for nearly an hour.

His legs and arms are bitten, plus we delayed on the road for over an hour...

This kind of situation is extremely deadly in Alaska!"

The tone and habit of conversation from Kahong and Roger made Mountain Eagle a bit unaccustomed, yet Mountain Eagle clearly felt that though Kahong's tone and expression were somewhat cold, his actions were passionate...

To let the wounded feel warmth a few minutes earlier, gain a survival chance, Kahong was willing to do extra things...

Mountain Eagle didn't disturb Kahong's actions, he looked towards the mountain, at this time Razer and they appeared in view.

Yue Yi's eyesight was very good, he saw his dad from afar...

The little guy jumped off the sled pulled by Balang, using the slope, hopped and jumped down...

"Dad, look, we rescued someone on the mountain!"

Seeing his son running and excitedly shouting, Mountain Eagle dashed over two large steps across the frozen creek, picked up his son, tossed him up twice...

Looking at his son's rosy cheeks, along with increasingly bright eyes, Mountain Eagle said with a smile, "Well done!

Is it fun here?"

Yue Yi nodded vigorously, saying, "Dad, I love hunting, Razer taught me a lot, we went to check the trap today, caught over ten snow hares.

In a few days I also want to check the animal trap, Razer says I can catch lynxes and wolves...

Dad, I can be a hunter in the future!"

Mountain Eagle reached into Yue Yi's neck to feel, confirming the kid's temperature was well maintained, no sweat, then he walked to the quickly stopped Zack nearby, bumped fists with him, saying, "Well done, you took good care of your brother!"

Zack was a bit dumbfounded, then bashfully shook his head, saying, "It's Razer taking care of us..."

Mountain Eagle didn't say much, bent down and gave Zack a strong hug, softly saying in his ear, "I can see everything I do for this family...

Zack, you're the best family member!"

After finishing, Mountain Eagle pulled a thermos cup from his pocket, unscrewed it and handed it to Zack, saying, "This is Mrs. Li's prepared hot cocoa for you, drink some to warm up, I'll fix up something delicious tonight..."

Razer chased the wolf-pulled sled across the creek, after lifting the wounded onto the large sled Kahong and they prepared, the old man shouted loudly to Mountain Eagle, "We're heading back to the village..."
