Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger-Chapter 886 - 829: The Unlucky Cleaner

Ryan Donovan has been active in the Canadian region for years, handling countless tricky situations, but he had never experienced anything like this...

He has hunted, even hunted Gray Wolves and large animals like brown bears, but he has never felt such immense pressure.

Six people came; upon entering the Mountain, they were ambushed by the Wolf Pack, losing most of their supplies and a companion.

Wanting to leave the village and return to Koyukuk to await support and regroup, they were again attacked by the Wolf Pack on the road, losing another two companions this time.

It turns out that even if humans are well-trained and have guns, when faced with a frenzied pack of wolves, the moment human numbers fall behind, they remain the underdog.

Ryan Donovan knew he was unwelcome, so after returning to the village, he immediately occupied the dilapidated wooden cabin used to house Kerry Cantona...

But once they entered the cabin and slightly calmed their nerves, they frustratingly found that they couldn't stay in the cabin at all...

Because it was too cold!

If they couldn't light the fireplace for warmth, they, lacking sleeping bags, couldn't survive through the night.

Therefore, they had to risk venturing out for firewood under the siege of the Wolf Pack, only to make the situation worse due to their lack of experience.

Ryan Donovan helped his companion treat the bite on his wrist, just about to grab the gun when he heard Razer's knocking and warning outside the door...

Carefully opening the door, he saw the wood stacked in front with a note atop; he decisively brought the wood inside, then dialed the number on Razer's note...

The phone was quickly connected after two rings, and Ryan Donovan barely got his name out before being bombarded with a string of curses...

After enduring for a few minutes, Ryan Donovan waited for Razer to tire of swearing and firmly said, "We need some food supplies and sleeping bags..."

Speaking quickly before Razer could curse again, Ryan said: "I'm willing to pay...

5000 bucks, for three sleeping bags and some food and water..."

Razer had no intention of coddling him and replied gruffly, "There's a pot in your cabin, if you want water, go gather some snow and boil it.

The village doesn't have spare sleeping bags, nor extra food; if you want to eat, go hunt wolves, wolf meat can fill your stomach."

Razer, seemingly unwilling to waste further words with Ryan Donovan, grumbled, "The villagers are all eating wolf meat as it takes a long time to deal with the wolf plague.

No one has extra food; if you want to survive, you have to rely on yourself, or you could urge those 'Cleaners' you mentioned to come rescue you sooner…"

Ryan Donovan heard the dial tone from the phone, angrily kicked the wall corner, then turned obediently and squatted by the fireplace, laboriously lighting the damp wood.

Once the flames rose in the fireplace and the room gradually warmed, Ryan Donovan sat on the ground and took out the satellite phone to make a call…

"I have a bit of a problem here and need someone to come to assist me…"

"......"

"Kerry Cantona's family is still in the Mountain, I haven't seen the specific situation, so I can't give you a clear answer.

But I'm pretty sure they haven't moved!"

"......"

"Why? Why the hell are you asking me why?

I lost three guys and got trapped in the nearest village to them, where do you think they could've escaped to?"

"......"

"Yes, I'm trapped, by the Wolf Pack, by extreme weather...

I need rescue, don't you understand what I'm saying?

Rescue, I need rescue, I need someone to bring a large number of automatic weapons to get me out…"

"......"

"I can't last three days, notify the people over at Koyukuk, tell them to find someone to help drive over two cars...

Snowmobiles simply won't cut it!"

"......"

Ryan Donovan listened to all kinds of inquiries coming from the other end of the phone, irritably pushed the phone away from his ear, and after the other party finished speaking, he patiently said: "The village I'm in is surrounded by a Wolf Pack, lots of wolves, wolves that aren't scared of guns…

I'm a 'Cleaner', responsible for cleanup, not to fight to the death with the Wolf Pack.

Now Kerry Cantona has been sent to the hospital by my people, I need to gain enough leverage to force him through interrogation and negotiation to hand over what's in his hands."

"......"

"Yes, I made a mistake, which was not shunning this tricky task for the 800,000 bucks.

Those office-bound idiots only want results, so we give them results.

"Get someone to take me out, and I'll think of another way to get Kerry Cantona's family out."

"......"

"Are you an idiot?

Kerry Cantona is currently unconscious, what's the point even if I chop him into pieces?

Once he dies, someone in Washington will hand the evidence over to the media. His family is our only breakthrough while he's unconscious and our most crucial bargaining chip when he wakes up.

So stop the nonsense, arrange for the 'Cleaner' to come over, at least 12 people, fully armed, drive over to pick me up..."

Saying this, Ryan Donovan forcefully hung up the phone, then stepped aside a little to let his two partners sit closer to the fireplace...

A guy with a Mohawk haircut, whose wrist was severely bitten and wrapped in a cloth strip, stretched his hands over the fireplace. While warming up, he painfully said, "Boss, three people have already died, do we really need to continue?

You used to tell us that we are 'Cleaners,' and we only do technical work.

But now?"

Ryan Donovan irritably scratched his head and said in a deep voice, "We need money, otherwise, relying on helping those gangs and politicians deal with the corpses of idiots who overdosed, how can we ever retire?

The business at the Canadian branch is too little, if we are not willing to take risks, places like California will never be in our turn to go."

Saying this, Ryan Donovan picked up Mohawk's wrist, glanced at it, and said, "Gambi, this is how it is in our business, if you want to make big money, you have to be mentally prepared for the risks.

This time our employer is a big shot; if we fail, who knows if they will retaliate against us."

Mohawk Gambi reluctantly said, "But once the 'Cleaner' gets involved, our commission will be split by two-thirds...

We should try to persuade the villagers to help us get Kerry Cantona's family out. They don't know our purpose. As long as we are willing to pay, they would be happy."

Ryan Donovan recalled his recent conversation with Mountain Eagle and Razer, and shook his head saying, "No, they might already know our purpose...

Kerry Cantona was rescued by them, and that guy's injuries were treated, which means he was always conscious before. He must have sought help from the villagers.

That guy made two calls on a phone before, one to our employer, and one to a prepaid phone in Washington.

The phone used to make the calls is registered under a guy named Kahong, and that Kahong is no longer in the village.

I asked a few villagers before; they were unwilling to say much, but this already explains a lot."

Mohawk Gambi digested what the boss said, listened to the wolf howls outside for a moment, and worriedly asked, "Boss, do you really think the 'Cleaner' sent by headquarters can solve the problem here and then force them to take us into the mountains?"

Ryan Donovan shook his head, "No, this time we won't use force. We'll let the 'Cleaner' help them deal with the wolf pack attack, and we will wait here.

If that Kahong really went into the mountains, they will definitely come here after they come out."

Mohawk Gambi listened and glanced at another obviously unnerved partner, hopelessly saying, "Boss, do you think we can really hold out here for three days?"

......

"They can't hold out for long..."

Razer returned to his cabin under Mountain Eagle's cover, then contacted Mountain Eagle via radio...

"We don't have enough manpower here, and there are more people in Koyukuk, but their situation won't be much better than ours. A dozen crazed Gray Wolves are enough to keep the people there running around.

If that guy can bring the 'Cleaner,' it could actually solve a big problem for us."

Mountain Eagle had no interest in the so-called 'Cleaner,' hearing Razer seemed to have a plan, so he straightforwardly said, "Whatever you're planning, I don't care. The wolf disaster is quite interesting. My people are ready; notify the villagers and Ryan Donovan, whatever noise you hear, don't make any rash moves..."

Razer had confidence in Mountain Eagle's combat strength, so he nodded and said, "No problem, but have your people be careful. Night attacks carry high risks. If possible, stay indoors for long-range shooting.

Mountain Eagle, the village's wolf pack is just their vanguard, the larger portion is in the woods in the east and north."

Mountain Eagle was more aware of the wolf pack's distribution than Razer, he laughed and said, "I'll handle the wolf pack in the east, let Tiffany and the kids have some fun first. To be honest, I find it quite thrilling!"

While Mountain Eagle was speaking, Balang, who had been patrolling around the cabin, suddenly growled, leading four War Wolves into the darkness... 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Soon, two Gray Wolves were driven out from the other side of the house closest to the cabin...

"Bang, bang, bang, bang..."

Tiffany, along with Lilith and Marta, set up at the window with silenced UMP45s, continuously firing at the two panicked Gray Wolves.

The shooting effect wasn't particularly great, but when they reached 40 meters from the cabin, two Malinois and two Big Dobermans suddenly rushed out, biting the panicked Gray Wolves...

As soon as the two Gray Wolves were confirmed to be under control, excited cheers came from the kids upstairs...

Then Zack rushed downstairs, holding a makeshift long spear crafted from a dagger and wooden stick...

As he passed Mountain Eagle, Zack grinned, shouting loudly, "Sir, have Tiffany and the others cover me, those two wolves are mine..."
