Chapter 42: Chapter 41: What exactly is called bug exploitation?
"Awooo~"
A miserable howl, the energy bomb hit the Forest Wild Wolf right between its eyes, and its skull was blown off instantly, brain matter splattered everywhere.
"One!"
Li Zheng counted softly, the powerful recoil of the Desert Eagle forced his arm up high, making continuous firing impossible.
The death of their companion did not scare the other wild wolves; the strong smell of blood only spurred their ferocity, dozens of Forest Wolves surged from the shadows, charging at Li Zheng.
"Hmph!"
With a cold snort, Li Zheng remained calm; since continuous firing was not possible, then...
"Boom!"
The Desert Eagle in his hand disappeared, replaced by another item that he threw behind. A structure resembling an enlarged coffin appeared behind Li Zheng.
"Facing a wolf pack alone? What a joke!"
Li Zheng turned, opened the door, and quickly scrambled inside, holding a shield with one hand, bracing it at the doorstep.
The wide explosion-proof shield fit perfectly to block the capsule shelter’s door!
Turning, he communicated with the system, moving the Genetic Potion Making Station to the doorway, fastening the explosion-proof shield firmly in place.
The reason for wedging a shield in the middle instead of just using the station to block the door was due to concerns that the wolves’ attacks might damage the production station.
After the expansion of the capsule shelter, it was already four meters high, allowing Li Zheng to easily climb to the top of the production station and stand up straight.
The explosion-proof shield was one and a half meters tall, only enough to cover most of the door, leaving an uncovered space at the top.
But this was already sufficient.
Li Zheng sat on top of the production station, laughing as he watched the wolf pack outside launching wave after wave of attack on the capsule shelter, each impact or claw swipe marking up the explosion-proof shield.
"What on earth is bug exploiting?"
Li Zheng laughed wildly as he pulled out the Desert Eagle, reaching over the shield without even needing to aim, shooting down each little wild wolf with ease.
Boom!
The sound of gunfire.
Thud!
The sound of impacts.
Zzz~
The chilling sound of wolf claws scraping against the shield.
Awooo~
The wailing of the Forest Wolves getting hit.
"Ah hahaha ahaha!"
Li Zheng’s arrogant laughter.
"Whimper~ Whimper~!"
Little Sakura popped out of his pocket, cheering and egging him on from the side.
All the sounds combined, culminating in a symphony of slaughter and death.
But Li Zheng couldn’t hear it because when he fired the first shot, the massive gunshot echoed and amplified inside the capsule shelter, deafening him once more.
One after another, the Forest Wolves fell under the gun’s muzzle; occasionally, a few clever wild wolves leaped high, trying to get into the capsule shelter over the top of the shield, only to be blasted away by Li Zheng’s precise shots.
After some time, the system issued a prompt:
[The Genetic Potion Making Station has been damaged, please repair promptly.]
It was at this point that Li Zheng snapped out of his self-satisfied state.
"The shield is completely wrecked, and the wolf pack has started attacking the production station?"
How could this be?
The production station, apart from Prelis’ Eye, was Li Zheng’s most cherished device; how could he let it go unattended?
"Repair!"
[Repairing, this repair will consume materials: Iron Ingot*10, Tungsten Steel 50g]
Fortunately, beyond this repair prompt, there was no further disturbance.
Li Zheng looked outside from the top of the door, seeing a dozen Forest Wolves standing behind a larger Wolf King, like a king with his soldiers.
"Is this the final charge?"
Li Zheng was anxious; after creating the production station, he was already low on materials.
If the wolf pack charged again, it would cause irreparable damage to the production station, and without enough materials to repair it, it might end up as broken as the Gravity Shoes.
As Li Zheng hesitated whether to move the production station to trade for a new shield to block the doorway,
The Wolf King took a profound look at the capsule shelter and then turned with the surviving Forest Wolves, gradually retreating.
Soon, the wolf pack disappeared into the forest shadows.
"Left?"
Li Zheng was unsure and skeptical; a wolf pack of over thirty had paid such a high price, and in the end, they retreated?
One minute
...
Two minutes
...
Three minutes passed, and Li Zheng’s hearing recovered. He listened carefully, but there wasn’t a sound from outside.
"Did they really leave?"
Out of caution, Li Zheng turned his head to look at Little Sakura, who had also recovered her hearing and was scratching her ear.
"Little Sakura, you can fly. Go out and see if the wolf pack has really left."
"Ying!"
Upon hearing the order, Little Sakura stood upright and gave an "leave it to me" look, flying out through the gap above the door.
In no time, Little Sakura returned, chirping and gesturing to bring back the news to Li Zheng.
"I knew it wasn’t that simple!"
Li Zheng sneered. Luckily, he still had Little Sakura as a helper. Her small size and fast flight speed allowed her to scout around without alerting the Forest Wild Wolves and found that they were still hiding in the nearby forest.
He feared that if he dared to show himself and clean up the battlefield, they would swarm him, leaving no chance for a counterattack or escape.
"However... I might be worried if the pack exceeds twenty."
Li Zheng shook his still-numb hand, jumped off the crafting station, accessed the system interface, moved away from the crafting station still under repair, and went out.
He scanned around, and Prelis’ Eye gave him a hint, further confirming that the wolf pack was still around.
And they were dispersed, completely surrounding Li Zheng.
"As long as the number is below twenty, and the tier doesn’t exceed Black Iron, all these monsters are nothing before my needle!"
Li Zheng held the gun in one hand, pretending not to know the opponent’s background, and really began to clean the battlefield, shuttling back and forth among the wolf corpses to decompose them.
Secretly, he still held the Desert Eagle in his hand, now switched to "special shooting mode," with a full magazine of Snake Grass Needles ready to be fired.
[Decompose Forest Wild Wolf to obtain: Forest Wolf Meat*4, Forest Wolf Blood 100ml, Forest Wolf Skin*1, Wolf Fang*6]
[Decompose Forest Wild Wolf to obtain: Forest Wolf Meat*3, Forest Wolf Blood 150ml, Forest Wolf Skin*1, Wolf Fang*8]
[Decompose Forest Wild Wolf to obtain: ...]
One wolf corpse after another was decomposed, and a large amount of Black Iron Level materials and wolf meat ingredients were stored in the capsule residence.
Except for the wolf skin, other materials varied somewhat in quantity due to the integrity of the wolf corpses.
As the ground was cleared of wolf corpses, the expected wolf pack attack still did not occur.
Li Zheng was puzzled: "These wild wolves are neither retreating nor attacking, what on earth are they planning?"
His gaze fell on the capsule residence, and Li Zheng suddenly understood.
It turned out he hadn’t left the area around the capsule residence and could retreat inside at any moment. The wolf pack was wary of him repeating the previous tactic, so they weren’t in a hurry to attack again?
Thinking it over, Li Zheng returned inside the capsule residence, and came out again shortly after, holding a dimly lit lantern in addition to the Desert Eagle.
"The visibility in the forest isn’t great; it’s safer to bring a lantern."
Talking to himself, Li Zheng turned around, packed up the capsule residence, ignored the remaining wolf corpses, and walked into the forest.
Crunching,
Dried leaves broke underfoot as Li Zheng carried the lantern through the forest, his eyes fixed straight ahead.
Above him, a small figure occasionally darted by, disappearing into the canopy in the blink of an eye.
"This wolf pack got smart and still isn’t coming out to attack me; are they trying to test my patience?"
Li Zheng’s thoughts raced. Despite him making a clown of himself, carrying a lantern with such a conspicuous target, walking in the forest for nearly ten minutes, the remaining wolf pack was still silently trailing behind without showing any signs of attack.
During these ten minutes, Li Zheng would occasionally change direction. Viewing from above the forest, one would notice that he kept going in circles.
"I don’t know how long these wild wolves have lived in the forest, but they’re definitely more familiar with the terrain than I am. Actively pursuing them might get me worn down bit by bit."
Although Prelis’ Eye can pinpoint the location of each wild wolf, the forest is unlike the desert, full of obstructing trees.
Li Zheng couldn’t shoot them from a long distance as he did in the previous room.
Li Zheng clearly understood his strengths and weaknesses. Exploiting strengths while mitigating weaknesses is the way to confront the enemy.
"Since you want a flaw, I’ll give you one."
Li Zheng stopped, gathered some dry leaves and branches, used Fire Attachment, and soon a bonfire was lit.
Sitting by the bonfire, he placed the Desert Eagle within easy reach, took out a piece of wolf meat from his capsule residence, skewered it on a branch, and began roasting it, acting as if he was oblivious to the wolves.
As he roasted the meat, Li Zheng was focused, sprinkling a few grains of salt onto it, giving it a crystal-clear sheen.
The rich aroma of meat wafted far through the forest, and the eyes of the Wolf King lurking in the shadows dimmed for a moment, then filled with rage.
This creature intends to eat its companion!
The Wolf King couldn’t bear it anymore. With only a Black Iron Level intelligence, holding out this long was already its limit.
The beast’s instincts urged it either to pounce and tear the opponent apart or quickly retreat with its pack.
"Awooo～～"
A sorrowful wolf howl echoed through the forest as the Wolf King finally made its decision.
