"Beep beep—"
The cold storage truck, like a magician, collided into the Xinxing Agricultural Science College, seemingly conjuring all sorts of strange animals. In front of these odd creatures, the liger and mule were insignificant.
Ansheng hadn't yet recovered from the shock when his phone in the saddlebag chimed with a WeChat notification.
Instinctively, Ansheng took out his phone and found that Li Wenkang had sent him two messages.
Ansheng was taken aback. He opened WeChat to see a video and a voice message.
"Weren't you in a fight? How do you have time to slack off and send me messages?"
Ansheng mumbled to himself as he opened the video sent by Li Wenkang.
When the video played, it showed the rooftop of the Xinxing Agricultural Science College, with faint voices in the background. Li Wenkang held his phone up to the telescope, recording occurrences in outer space.
A satellite with solar panels was visible, exhaust streaming behind it, moving in space.
The American flag was vaguely visible on it, and then a cylindrical spacecraft quickly approached above it. A robotic arm crawled along the cylinder, extending slowly as it neared the American satellite.
The robotic arm cut the solar panel, then its tip morphed, suction-like, attaching to the damaged satellite and tossing it into space.
Laughter resonated in the video.
The cylindrical object in space didn't stop, continuing to travel with exhaust venting from its sides.
Above the stars.
Originally, a few satellites were approaching, but upon the cylindrical object's arrival, they hastily accelerated, as if flustered, fleeing space.
In mere moments, all the satellites fled as if pursued by some menacing flood or beast.
"A high-precision optical imaging satellite costs $1 to $2.5 billion including manufacturing and launch. How about that kick just now, cool right?"
Having watched the video, Ansheng played the voice message. Li Wenkang's cheerful voice came through.
"Wow!"
"Now I understand why those satellites were frantically escaping."
"Just a snip and it's tens of billions gone. Even if I bet against our national football team from birth, I wouldn't win so much money back."
Learning the cost of a high-precision optical imaging satellite, Ansheng exclaimed in surprise. He knew satellites were expensive but never imagined they could be so costly.
The thrown-away optical satellite, both theoretically and practically, could capture clear images of all traffic violations on the road from space and record license plates for issuing fines.
Its precision was so high it could capture the brand of trap used in the woods at night.
However, no one would be so bored as to use a high-precision optical imaging satellite for such purposes.
"Old man Fox, don't those mechanical arms on the roof look like the ones in the video...."
At this time, Wang Ya spoke up, indicating Fox Lord to look toward the experimental building.
From behind a corner of the circular domed experimental building, two segments of a mechanical arm gradually extended, its joints turning to place a heavy metal box on the rooftop.
And atop the dome, a mechanical arm lifted a high-definition surveillance camera, erecting it high.
"Da da da—"
The metal box was lifted by the mechanical arm and, upon reaching the proper angle, countless flames poured out, the overturned cold storage truck engulfed in a red glow.
In an instant, not a trace of the overturned cold storage truck remained on the road; under the metal storm, only a small amount of burning steel and no fewer than a hundred thousand bullet holes covered the ground evenly.
After clearing the obstacles, the mechanical arm attached to the spire rotated, lifting the metal storm originally used for defense against drone swarms and tilting it downward to spray into a dense forest outside the campus.
Two metal storms were set up, the red glow illuminating, and inside the forest, debris and dust were immediately stirred up.
A white figure, extremely fast, burst out from the forest, holding military-grade smoke grenades emitting thick smoke in two white wolf paws.
"What era is it, and you young people still think about close combat every day."
Seeing the humanoid white giant wolf trying to provide cover for its companions with smoke grenades, Li Wenkang displayed an oddly amused smile.
When smoke grenades emit smoke, they actually generate very high internal temperatures.
And high temperatures are taboo on the battlefield.
"Gutsy, but not well-read." As Li Wenkang spoke, a strange whistle sounded, and a metal projectile shot out of a rocket launcher, pausing in mid-air for a moment for a second ignition, chasing straight towards the position of the white giant wolf like a meteor.
The heat source was its targeted pursuit.
The white wolf holding the high-temperature smoke grenade became the priority target for infrared-guided weapons.
"Boom—"
A small mushroom cloud rose, and the fungal parasitic beast discarded the rocket launcher, leaping off a tall building with bat-like membranes unfurling from its back to slow its descent, pulling out a grenade launcher from its lower back, covering the white wolf's position with chemical adhesive bombs.
"Bang bang bang—"
The bombs exploded on the white wolf, adhesive instantly clinging to its fur and skin, pinning it to the asphalt road, making its struggles all the more painful.
"With the $500,000 bounty, I can afford a down payment on a luxury home for my dad."
Like the finest warrior, the parasitic beast held a grenade launcher, peering through night vision goggles at the already packaged white wolf, speaking coldly.
"... $500,000? May God forgive your greed and selfishness."
Lying on the ground transformed into a dire wolf, Bianchi gave the parasitic beast a smile.
"Whizz—"
Amidst the thick smoke from the smoke grenade, a black barbed scorpion tail shot through like a bullet, piercing the shoulder of the parasitic beast.
A scorpion man, his body covered in exoskeleton revealing muscular strength, charged out of the mist, heading straight for the lake with the parasitic beast in tow.
"Splash——"
Next came another one, with a scorpion face and a long scorpion-tail braid at the back of his head, emerging from the mist, his speed surpassing any athlete, breaking straight towards the experimental building.
One by one, scorpion men emerged from the mist.
"Hiss——"
One of them, with a swing of his scorpion tail, sprayed venom around the white terror wolf, dissolving the chemical adhesive bomb that had fastened it to the asphalt road.
Bianchi glanced at the experiment building, sneered, and bounded backward as if trying to escape.
"Wang Ya..."
Master Arctic Fox's expression was subtle as he looked towards Wang Ya and asked, "Are those guys from your nest?"
"Probably, they implanted seeds in their chests, causing directional mutations," Wang Ya confirmed, glancing at the scorpion men.
Unlike Wang Ya's initial mutation, these scorpion men underwent induced mutations guided by human intervention.
"Chives..."
"Suddenly sprang from the dry ground without the nourishment of rain."
Gazing at Wang Ya's siblings, Master Arctic Fox couldn't help but murmur to himself.
These Bianchi people were even more peculiar but good...
Let them come to face death!
And they even brought gifts!
Ansheng marvelled inwardly, leaping down directly from the girls' dormitory and heading towards the School of Animal Science.
He had anticipated that with Li Wenkang's temperament, he would cover the area with firepower, so he specifically instructed Housekeeper Lin not to come to the Agricultural Research Institute but instead go to the School of Animal Science.
"Had I known the chives would be so lush, I should have told Granny Hedgehog and Lin Ying to drill a hole in the hammer's handle, so I could stick a rivet in when needed and use it as scissors."
Master Arctic Fox was in high spirits, and ran towards the School of Animal Science.
"Sizzle——"
Just as Master Arctic Fox jumped out from the Agricultural Research Institute and stepped onto the School of Animal Science's territory, a black Cullinan leapt down from the second floor, casting a shadow over Master Arctic Fox's head and landed heavily on the ground.
"Master Arctic Fox! They are the enemy!" Lin Bingyun shouted loudly from the raptor car being pursued by the Cullinan and halted the pickup truck in front of Master Arctic Fox.
"Oof..."
Almost crushed under a mountain-like pressure, Master Arctic Fox let out a whimper, stretched out a little fox paw, and grabbed the Cullinan trying to proceed further.
"Have you ever experienced..."
"a Rolls-Royce collision?"
"If not, you're about to. Let me give you the experience."
Master Arctic Fox exerted his arm strength, and although he didn't quite grasp the situation, since Lin Bingyun identified those inside as the enemy, he showed no mercy.
The Cullinan stood on campus, shaking back and forth like a Holy Grail.
A young girl in a short skirt and white stockings, along with a middle-aged man dressed in a tailcoat, were shaken out from the car by Master Arctic Fox.
They fell onto the ground.
Master Arctic Fox climbed atop the Cullinan.
"Butler... that fox turned on the wipers. Do you think he won't, right?"
Dizzy Feina regained clarity and instantly saw the spirit of ecstasy car emblem aiming at her, while an Arctic Fox ran to the driver's seat, fiddling with the steering wheel.
"Miss....."
"I sense, the fox is looking for gear positions....." the seasoned butler kindly reminded the young miss:
"It seems he intends to drive and run us over."
"I see in his little fox face the same mischievous nature as yours. You two should have a very romantic and extravagant encounter."
At night, a big Rolls-Royce crashing in like that.
It's not something the average girl would experience.
While the master-servant duo was conversing, Lin Bingyun's raptor had also turned its head, the steel bumper as thick as a leg aimed straight at their heads.
"Yahaha——"
Realizing the situation, Feina didn't hesitate a bit, got up and dashed towards the dormitory building as if her life depended on it.
"Butler! I command you!"
"Never outrun me!"
"Sorry, Miss, I qualify as an important family asset, and failing your order might not be possible."
The nimble-legged butler, sprinting ahead of Feina with a calm demeanor, his speed exceeding eighty.
Not only did he run ahead of Feina, he broke into the woods at over a hundred, weaving left and right, and disappeared.
