In a laboratory at the Federal Research Institute. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lynn slammed his fist into the light screen floating in front of him. The light screen flickered a few times, then turned into a blue light and disappeared. The other light screens suspended around shook a few times, and then closed one after another. The lab was empty again. Lynn leaned heavily in the seat, which adjusted its shape to fit more closely with his body, but that didn't ease Lynn's bad mood in the slightest.

Lynn threw her head back in frustration, staring blankly at the softly metallic roof above.

He couldn't even find any information about that cosmic region, he seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall, which made him very irritable. He grabbed a few handfuls of hair and stood up again. Although that cosmic region is close to the outer reaches of the Milky Way, with current technology, even galaxies outside the Milky Way can be observed, and it is impossible for such a large star field not to be on the Federation's exploration archives. They probably saw every corner of the Milky Way, but he didn't find a single piece of information in the archives, not even a paper record. It's suspiciously clean.

Maybe he'll have to ask a researcher from the Space Observation Section.

However, the Department of Space Observation has always been at odds with the people in their biotechnology research department. The Graduate School of Biotechnology has been the leader of the various laboratories in the institute because of its discovery of ways to improve human genes, so it has also brought some pride. It's normal for others to be unaccustomed to it.

Lynn turned up the light screen again, and was about to contact the researchers of the Space Observation Section. Suddenly, an artificial intelligence voice sounded: "Researcher B231, someone is visiting." As soon as the voice fell, the visitor's hologram was cast in front of Lynn.

It was a young man with chestnut curly hair, amber eyes shining with a soft sheen, and a thick bookish smell on his body. Lynn frowned, this person he didn't know.

"Let him go!"

"Mr. Lynn, I'm here to receive the reward. You want to know about the star field, I found out. ”

Lynn curled the corners of her mouth sarcastically, sure enough, there must be a brave man under the heavy bounty on the black market. It's just that whether the information is true or not is debatable.

"Let him in." Lynn commanded, wondering how she would torture another crook who had appeared.

Under the lead-gray canopy, a pack of wolves ran across the wasteland to track the trail of long-haired cows, and the cold wind ruffled their silver-gray hair. The lead wolf stopped suddenly, its head up, sniffing the unsettling breath in the air, its emerald green eyes looking ahead.

A herd of long-haired cattle came running from afar in a panic, white mist erupting from their noses and mouths, and their hooves rumbling rapidly alternating on the cold, hard ground.

The head wolf immediately saw that this was an opportunity, and whatever caused the panic in the herd, they could take advantage of it. It signaled the other wolves to disperse on both sides, lay in ambush, and wait for the herd to come, and it would be unwise to confront the herd head-on.

As the herd approached, the ground trembled beneath their feet, and the wolves watched closely the herd's movements. Gradually, they saw two two-legged creatures behind the herd, chasing them with a branch. Although these two creatures had two legs, they were so fast that they were able to catch up with the galloping herd. The two creatures drove a male long-haired cow into a ditch, teasing him in an attempt to drain his strength.

The head wolf squinted for a moment, then immediately retracted his attention and put it back on the herd, quickly locking on to the target. When the large army of cattle ran past, the wolf struck like lightning and bit a calf that was left behind. Although it is a calf, the size of a long-haired cow toddler is the size of an adult buffalo, enough for wolves to eat for a while. It doesn't need to take a bigger risk to hunt a stronger, adult long-haired cow. In such a difficult environment, it is not easy to raise a wolf cub, and every adult wolf is precious.

With the pounce of the head wolf, other wolves also attacked, biting the neck, tail, legs, and hips...... The calf screamed in panic, and the young man didn't know how to deal with the situation. After several unsuccessful attempts to break out of the encirclement, it finally collapsed, and was quickly bitten by the throat by two wolves, its hooves kicking wildly, its body convulsing continuously, and slowly losing its breath.

The head wolf let go of the bloodstained mouth, stuck out his tongue, and gasped for air. Although it is only a calf, it is still dangerous, its hooves can be as powerful as a hammer, and its skin is thick and impregnable. Fortunately, its horns had just grown, and it was not yet very lethal, but it took a lot of effort for the wolves to take down the calf. Now, each of the wolves was covered in wet mud, and some of them were covered in blood, making their silver-gray fur look dirty. But the effort was worth it, and they and the cubs didn't have to go hungry for at least a while.

The wolf's emerald green eyes couldn't help but look at the two creatures, and in an instant, his astonishment widened. The two creatures had finished their battle with the long-haired cow at some point, and were looking at it with great interest.

The first wolf raised his head and howled a few times to the sky, and the other wolves also howled one after another, and for a time the wolf howls came and went, adding a bit of desolation in the cold wind and the bleak sky of the wasteland.

"Let's go." Ansu waved his hand.

Simon nodded, bent down to carry the nearly five hundred kilograms of long-haired oxen, and followed Ansu under the gaze of the wolves.

An Su glanced back at the wolves who were still looking this way but didn't dare to act, and thought to himself, they wouldn't dare to provoke them casually in the future, wolves are intelligent animals, they know how to judge the situation, which ones can be provoked and which ones cannot be provoked.

The daylight hours are getting shorter and shorter, and the clouds in the sky are getting thicker. The polar night is coming, and during the months of the polar night, they must stock up on enough supplies, in addition to food, but also firewood.

Ansu skillfully skinned and deboned a long-haired cow and divided it into several large pieces, some were used for smoking, and some were put directly into the ice cave on the mountain. Because there is not enough firewood to smoke that much meat. The woods on this side are sparse, and they usually have to climb several mountains to find enough firewood. It sometimes takes days to go back and forth. For the past few days, they have been sleeping in the mountains and forests. But it's worth the effort so that you don't have to come out in the middle of the night.

After cooking the long-haired cattle, Ansu decided that they would go up the mountain again early tomorrow morning to store the meat in the ice cave and get more firewood to survive the cold months. (To be continued.) )
