Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger-Chapter 882 - 825: Defeated and Forced to Return

When Razer and Wuya approached, Mountain Eagle noticed two red marks on Wuya's face. The intricate wrinkles on the elderly woman's face, coupled with various tattoos and the two blood-red marks, made her appear less kind and composed than before, and added a hint of menace.

Women among the Inuit are also important laborers; they fish, hunt, and even participate in combat.

Wuya stopped before the sled filled with Gray Wolf corpses in her bulky fur coat...

She glanced at the two imposing Big Dobermans guarding the house, muttered a few words, then took out the ulu knife, a shovel-shaped tool meant for Inuit women, from her waist and swiftly carved open the corpse of a frozen Gray Wolf, pulling out the innards to find the heart and liver, which she cut off and tossed to the two Big Dobermans...

Watching the two Big Dobermans just sniff at the Gray Wolf innards on the ground, then recoil slightly as if repelled, Wuya shook her head with disdain, bent down to grab some snow from the ground and rubbed it against her hand to remove the stench, and said to Mountain Eagle, "These two dogs don't cut it; don't let them go far from here..."

Mountain Eagle never expected the Big Dobermans to be able to take on the Gray Wolves. They are now multifunctional guard dogs, equipped with a police dog controller, which allows them to handle various weapons and serve as high-speed mobile platforms on the battlefield.

Under the system built by Mountain Eagle, their role as claws and fangs is actually very minimal, but even so, they're not entirely useless, as Wuya suggests.

The two Big Dobermans, slick with a glossy coat, even have their nails trimmed, but they are the epitome of a classic villain in a suit.

Despite their combat ability not matching that of the Gray Wolves, with the police dog controller, they can each hold off one or two Gray Wolves without issue.

Seeing that Mountain Eagle seemed uninterested in taking her advice, Wuya hesitated, glanced at the much more lively Malinois, distinctive with their thick fur and exuberant energy, and after some thought, tore open another Gray Wolf's belly and pulled out the heart, splitting it in half and throwing it to Schuck and Beta...

Schuck and Beta, much rougher around the edges, fit Wuya's 'aesthetic' perfectly; they approached, sniffing the Gray Wolf's heart, and with Mountain Eagle's permission, chewed and swallowed the frozen, rigid heart in a few bites, then ran happily over to rub against Wuya's dirty fur.

"These are the real good dogs..."

Mountain Eagle of course knew Schuck and Beta were good dogs, but their 'good' wasn't the same as Wuya's stereotypical version of good...

But he didn't explain to Wuya, instead inviting Razer and Wuya into the cabin...

Inside, the fully armed women's brigade and scouts made Wuya a bit uncomfortable; she looked at Xiao Wan, also wearing a thick bullet-proof vest, and said incredulously, "We're dealing with a wolf pack, why are you wearing bullet-proof vests?"

Xiao Wan didn't want to disrupt the tense atmosphere's influence on the children. She walked up to Wuya and said, "We're dealing with fierce wild beasts, so having extra protection is always good.

We have no experience dealing with wolf packs, therefore..."

Wuya looked at the fierce-looking children, a smile breaking across her stern face; she nodded and said, "At first I was worried you might not adapt, but now it seems your preparations are overly thorough."

Leading Xiao Wan to the window, Wuya pointed at the corpses on the sled outside and said, "Let me help you skin those and process the wolf skins properly; can you leave the wolf meat to me?"

Xiao Wan nodded and said, "Of course, no problem. I wanted to invite you over to help before, since I lack experience in processing game."

Pausing for a moment, Xiao Wan hesitantly said, "Can I ask why you need the wolf meat?

I've read that wolf meat tastes terrible and can cause discomfort when consumed."

If you need food, I have plenty here, and you can..."

Wuya listened and gratefully said, "It's not for me but for others in the village...

'Wolf disaster' is difficult to handle, and anyone going out at this time risks attacks, so villagers need to form patrol teams.

The appearance of the wolf pack causes nearby wildlife to flee, hunting becomes impossible, and increased physical activity drains village resources; they need some meat to offset potential food shortages."

After hearing this, Xiao Wan frowned slightly and said, "If it's really that serious, haven't you considered seeking help from town?

They should be able to provide you with some winter supplies..."

Wuya frowned slightly and said, "Ask the town for help? How could we? 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The state police office in the town only has two people; they can't do anything.

In past situations like this, the state police office has always hired us to help out, but now that we're in trouble, they can't find anyone...

Moreover, in this weather, even if they found someone to help, it would only increase the village's food consumption, and post-event fees would be unaffordable for us."

Xiao Wan paused in surprise and curiously asked, "When disaster strikes, do you have to pay out-of-pocket to seek government aid?"

Wuya looked at Xiao Wan in confusion and said, "Should it be free?"

"Shouldn't it be?"

Seeing Xiao Wan's puzzled expression, Griffin, as someone who spent a few months at East with United States Special Service, said with a complicated expression, "Mrs. Li, the United States and East are somewhat different...

Many natives in Alaska rely on nature for food, unlike those states in the West that have vast agricultural and livestock industries.

Those industries provide tax revenue for the state government, so when issues like wolf packs and wild boars arise, the state government offers bounties and invites hunters to handle these wild animals.

"Alaska doesn't have a budget for this!"

Griffin spoke rather tactfully, but Xiao Wan quickly understood. She apologized to Wuya with a smile and said, "You can take all of the wolf meat. If food is still in short supply, we have plenty of other things to eat here."

Wuya listened, gratefully hugged Xiao Wan, and said, "Mrs. Li, you're like an angel..."

While the women were talking, Razer took Mountain Eagle to the restaurant...

He looked around for a bit, took a bottle of Erguotou from the wine cabinet and tucked it into his arms, then poured another opened bottle of Erguotou into glasses for himself and Mountain Eagle...

The old man raised a glass containing at least two taels of liquor and clinked it with Mountain Eagle, then drank the Erguotou in one gulp.

Feeling a warm sensation running through his esophagus, Razer smacked his lips contentedly and said, "This stuff is really strong..."

He poured himself another glass and looked at the pile of weapons and equipment leaning against the wall, saying, "People in the village buy ammo very carefully. Now with this situation, everyone needs ammunition.

Going to town now would be too late, so..."

For Mountain Eagle, ammunition might be the least valuable thing, so he generously waved his hand and said, "I have plenty of ammo here. Make a list, and I'll have someone count it out and deliver it to you."

Razer waved his hand and said, "I'll do it. I also need an automatic rifle..."

Saying this, Razer walked over to the equipment box himself. He first took out a small ammo box, put all the bullets on the table, and began quickly selecting various calibers of ammunition...

He mainly took the .300 and .338 Magnum bullets, these two high-powered hunting ammunitions are essential for the Inuit living here.

Razer took 10 boxes of each caliber, settled the most essential needs, and then grabbed a dozen boxes of 7.62 mm ammunition...

Finally, he picked an AK-15 and five magazines for himself, and packed a box with dozens of incendiary bombs and shock bombs.

After finishing, he let out a long breath and looked at Mountain Eagle, saying, "Mountain Eagle, we really need a Brown Bear Camp here...

If you don't have time, I can have my daughter and son-in-law Roger set up a shop in the Brown Bear Camp exchange mode here.

You wouldn't believe what the price of bullets is here in winter..."

Razer took a .338 Magnum bullet in his hand, felt it, and said, "In winter, a bullet like this costs 8 US dollars here.

I just counted, the family with the most ammo in the village only has 55 bullets!"

Mountain Eagle listened curiously and said, "I heard that the Inuit aren't poor..."

Razer shook his head and said, "We generally purchase ammo based on the season's needs to calculate quantities, otherwise these bullets will spoil if left for too long.

Mountain Eagle, the Inuit living in Alaska's extreme cold regions are only nominally not poor..."

Mountain Eagle listened and nodded thoughtfully, saying, "The natural environment here is too harsh, the population is too sparse, commerce isn't developed, so the cost of various supplies simply cannot be reduced."

After speaking, Mountain Eagle glanced at Xiao Wan, who was happily chatting with Wuya, and nodded slightly, saying, "If that's the case, then under the same mode, exchange pelts and Emperor Salmon for living supplies.

Let Wuya talk to my wife about the specifics...

Anyway, it's usually the wives who run the household for you Inuit, right?"

Razer reacted naturally to Mountain Eagle's teasing, nodding and saying, "Then it's settled. I have some savings, establishing a shop initially doesn't need to be complicated. As long as enough living supplies can be transported, even using a random cabin can make this business run."

Mountain Eagle didn't think it was difficult either, Alaskan pelts and Emperor Salmon have no trouble selling in East. As long as Xiao Wan can maintain a good conversion channel, the subsequent matters can proceed smoothly.

Making big money is definitely impossible, but as long as it can be sustained, this cross-country channel itself has a lot of value.

And as long as there's a channel, more business can be developed on this basis in the future.

Mountain Eagle didn't want to discuss business matters with an outsider like Razer. As everyone was preparing nervously for battle, he proactively went to the stove, heated water, and prepared to make some noodles to fill everyone's stomach...

This time Mountain Eagle wasn't planning to be at the forefront, instead, he positioned himself as logistics.

Just as the first bowl of noodles was ready, the outside sky had completely darkened, with over 16 hours of night descending...

"Woo~ woo~ woo..."

"Bang bang bang bang..."

While Mountain Eagle was seasoning the noodles, wolf howls coming from the outskirts of the village were accompanied by gunshots...

Razer paused and nudged Mountain Eagle, saying, "It must be them, they've definitely encountered a wolf pack..."
