Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger-Chapter 893 - 836: Dad Takes Care of the Kids

In the situation where a heavy snowfall is imminent and the Wolf Pack is circling, winter fishing is an extremely dangerous task.

However, when Razer sent out a call over the radio, a dozen or so households sent their capable workers to assist.

The village suffered a significant loss the previous night. When daylight came and the Wolf Pack retreated, people discovered that not only three family stores were damaged, but also two households' food storages had been breached by wolves.

The wolves, like movers, dragged away several frozen Reindeer that were meant as reserve food.

The villagers, lacking night vision capabilities, were powerless against the Wolf Pack in such darkness, even if they had guns in hand.

If things continued like this, they would go hungry, so when Razer called for help, each household sent someone to the big lake.

Meanwhile, Wuya began leading the remaining people in the village to inventory food and repair warehouses, using sleds to transport surplus ice bricks from the big lake, and creating a large ice box at each doorstep capable of withstanding Wolf Pack attacks.

The method of making these ice boxes was straightforward, like building a house: stacking heavy ice bricks to form three walls, then adding a large plank cover secured slightly, which allows food storage while fending off hungry wolves.

Xiao Wan left Tessa and Yuliy at home, instructing Tessa to lead Tiffany and others to help the villagers and also learn how to build a large ice room at their doorstep.

Yuliy was busy contacting various parties and coordinating parachute supplies and helicopters.

When Xiao Wan arrived at the big lake with the Special Service team including Griffin and Red Sparrow, dragging four children on sleds, she was amused by Mountain Eagle.

While everyone else was busy sawing ice to open holes on the lake, her husband was actually setting up an ice house...

Nearly twenty beams were fixed around the ice house's walls, a large waterproof tarp spread over the roof. Once the sides were tightened and fixed with ice bricks, pouring water completed the roof's construction.

The floor inside the ice house had been opened with several fishing holes, with the area excluding the fireplace laid with treated animal skins.

Xiao Wan was stunned by the heat when entering the ice house with the kids. As she stepped on the soft fur-covered floor, she looked unhappily at Mountain Eagle, who was setting up some folding beds and fishing stools...

"Can't you do something serious..."

Mountain Eagle knew he was indeed idling, but he genuinely wanted to find something for the children to do.

He had promised to train the children's skills, and rather than letting them idle in the cabin, it was better to bring them to this pre-set field...

Seeing Xiao Wan's displeased face, Mountain Eagle smiled and shrugged, "Why is fishing and hunting not serious?

This ice house is very sturdy, with excellent visibility. I plan to stay here with the kids for a couple of days and definitely get home before the blizzard hits."

Xiao Wan, a bit exasperated, watched the children start fighting over beds and fishing spots, determined to catch a hundred big fishes to feed everyone...

She sighed helplessly, waving her hand, "They are your kids; you deal with it, just don't take them on any dangerous adventures."

Saying this, Xiao Wan glanced at the four 25 cm diameter ice holes on the ground, couldn't resist giving Yue Yi a pat on the head as he reached inside, then glared at Luna, who was trying to do the same lying on the ice...

Seeing Mountain Eagle's carefree attitude, Xiao Wan couldn't help but sigh, indeed, when a father takes care of the kids, the most dangerous part is the father himself...

Suppressing the impulse to take the kids back, Xiao Wan pinched her nose and helped organize the ice house's interior...

Folding beds and fishing stools were covered with waterproof and cold-proof animal skins, while the randomly piled kitchenware and firewood were neatly stacked.

Due to her concerns, Xiao Wan even pulled Zack and Angel over to stack a firewood wall enough to burn for a week inside the small house.

While Xiao Wan was busy, Mountain Eagle was busy making shooting holes on the wall with his son and daughter...

Each wall had six 15cm x 15cm square holes, and when not in use, they were plugged with snow, leaving a hollow PVC tube to act as a vent, pushing away the snow to use these for shooting when needed.

Mountain Eagle also thoughtfully insisted on placing an equipment rack in the middle of the wall made from ice. It held two caliber automatic rifles and various night vision equipment and, most importantly, noise-canceling headphones.

Mountain Eagle's idle tactics made Xiao Wan both helpless and amused. Just when she was wondering if she had been fooled by her husband, there was a commotion and gunfire outside...

Upon hearing the gunfire, Mountain Eagle paused his work, lifted the curtain, and rushed out...

At this time, a large ice hole had opened beside the ice house, as Razer led the villagers to carve two more layers downward, passing through the thick ice surface...

A few villagers remained at the site, moving the carved ice blocks onto the surface, simply stacking them into wind-blocking ice walls, and sending excess ice bricks back to the village for making ice boxes.

Now, Razer and the team were working 120 meters away. Ten or so people first carved out a smaller net entrance, then drilled large holes between the net entrance and exit to adjust and pass the fishing net.

The shooters were Griffin and Red Sparrow...

When Mountain Eagle rushed out of the ice house, he saw two female Special Service agents holding UMP45s aimed to the southeast, smoke still curling out of the gun barrels...

"What happened?"

Griffin hadn't taken her eye away from the ACOG scope above. When hearing Mountain Eagle's question, she replied without turning, "Boss, Hummingbird just sent a warning of a Wolf Pack appearing southeast...

"I just saw two Gray Wolves; they should be scouts from the Wolf Pack."

Mountain Eagle frowned, looking towards the southeast. The heavy snow had reduced the lake's visibility to a very low level; beyond 50 meters, the human eye could see nothing.

Moreover, the southeast was the downwind direction, so when Balang and the four War Wolves were a bit farther from the Wolf Pack, they couldn't smell each other and couldn't react effectively.

Mountain Eagle quickly put on his tactical glasses, switched to the drone view, and simultaneously released Golden Cicada to conduct a comprehensive reconnaissance of the surrounding area...

Soon he discovered two Gray Wolves prowling about 150 meters away...

They had clearly caught a scent from here, but they didn't rush forward; instead, they paced back and forth the 150-meter range...

It must have been the gunfire and the scent from Balang and the others that made the two wolves a bit timid...

Mountain Eagle reached out and patted Griffin on the shoulder, pointing in the direction of the two wolves, and said, "They're over there, about 150 meters away. Fire a few shots that way..."

Without any hesitation, Griffin and Red Sparrow followed Mountain Eagle's guidance, turned their gun mouths, and pulled the trigger...

"Bang bang bang bang..."

"Bang bang bang bang..."

The un-silenced UMP45 emitted crisp gunfire, a barrage of bullets shooting towards the direction of the two wolves.

The shooting wasn't accurate, but nearly 50 rounds from two guns sent those bullets whistling so fiercely that the already hesitant Gray Wolves turned around and ran off scared.

After confirming the departure of the two Gray Wolves, Mountain Eagle looked at Griffin, who was swiftly changing the magazine, and said, "Equip the gun with a silencer, otherwise, if used indoors, it will be uncomfortable for the people inside.

Not everyone can wear headphones or earplugs everywhere..."

Listening to this, Griffin shook his head and said, "Boss, our responsibility is to ensure everyone's safety; gunfire deters the Wolf Pack."

Mountain Eagle, accustomed to the special operations mode, insisted on 'silence'...

Facing Griffin's explanation, Mountain Eagle shook his head and said, "The Wolf Pack we're up against is a bit different. Yesterday you fired so many rounds with the Barrett; did that scare them away?

What we need to do now is eliminate their active forces, not just wear them down indefinitely.

The quieter the gun, the less they'll run around...

Of course, you're the Special Service leader; within your duty scope, you make your decisions."

Griffin, after all, was a professional. She glanced at the igloo on the side and the ice hole next to it and, after hesitating a moment, said, "Boss, are you planning to face off against the Wolf Pack here with the kids?"

Mountain Eagle nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, but there's no place for you all here..."

Just as Griffin, slightly dissatisfied, wanted to question, Razer's voice came over the radio, "Attention, netting in 10 minutes...

Mountain Eagle, find a high point, there are wolves approaching from another direction, repel them, protect our people."

Hearing Razer's call, Mountain Eagle decisively turned around and grabbed a sniper HK-417 equipped with an infrared aiming system, rushed out of the house, climbed to the rooftop, and knelt at the corner holding the gun, beginning to search for the Wolf Pack that might threaten Razer and the villagers...

With drone assistance, Mountain Eagle quickly located the Wolf Pack...

In the northwest and due west directions, over a dozen Gray Wolves used the heavy snow as cover, treading through the thick snow, slowly approaching the crowd at the fishing net entrance, 120 meters away...

Meanwhile, a few straggling Gray Wolves crossed to the south, cautiously attempting to approach the villagers guarding the middle ice hole, preparing to adjust the fishing net direction, with the closest one already at around 200 meters.

For the Wolf Pack, the wind and snow were indeed the best cover; the teams in the middle had no idea the Gray Wolves were gradually closing in.

They were entirely focused on the ice, using long poles with hooks to probe the ice hole, ready to assist the soon-to-arrive directional rod.

Mountain Eagle, using the infrared scope, locked onto a Gray Wolf, then decisively pulled the trigger...

The silencer-equipped gun muzzle burst out with a piercing shriek, then the specially crafted high-precision competitive-grade bullet accurately struck a Gray Wolf's side chest, and then burst out the other side, creating an open blood hole...

Hit fatally, the Gray Wolf only had time to let out a miserable cry before collapsing onto the snowy ice surface, struggling a few times, and then falling silent.

After succeeding, Mountain Eagle whistled, and the two War Wolves guarding the vicinity of the igloo quickly dashed into the heavy snow, swiftly found the dead Gray Wolf, and dragged its body back to the igloo...

Mountain Eagle himself wasn't idle either; he locked onto another Gray Wolf and pulled the trigger again...

Another gunshot rang out, and the second Gray Wolf fell on the snowy ice surface.

Meanwhile, over Razer's side, a series of gunshots also broke out...

Soon after, a chorus of wolf howls rose from the northwest; the Wolf Pack retreated...
