Chapter 228: Chapter 167: Breakthrough in Strength, The Human Team. _2
Nearing three times the speed of sound, and that too in the complex terrain of the Arctic Tundra, possessing such Speed, Su Lin was almost in an invincible position!
Besides Speed, Su Lin's Wolf Body's defensive power had reached 570 points, even higher than the Defense of Variant Species Bear Clan at level twenty-something.
Such defensive power, coupled with his dense fur, could block most of the attacks.
Ordinary firearm bullets could not break through Su Lin's Defense.
As for some armor-piercing rounds and large-caliber artillery shells, even if they could barely penetrate Su Lin's Defense, it was difficult to cause effective damage.
Su Lin's Basic Strength Value had reached 590, which meant his enhanced right claw would soar to nearly 900!
A full-strength strike had an Attack Power of almost twenty-something tons, close to thirty tons!
Such tremendous Strength concentrated on a Wolf Claw, there was almost nothing that could withstand it!
Now, Su Lin's Strength had become so massive, combined with his profound spiritual power, he could exert his Peak Strength to its fullest!
If it really came to a bloody battle, Su Lin, looking across the Entire Arctic, aside from a few Extraordinary Forces from the Mysterious Iceberg, had no rivals!
Now, Su Lin even felt that if he encountered those two huge Ice Mountain Lotuses again, he should have the capital to barely contend with them!
After all, Exotic Flowers and Rare Herbs are unlike Mutated Species; Exotic Flowers and Rare Herbs can better absorb the Energy between heaven and earth but have many restrictions as well!
For example, Ice Mountain Lotuses can't move on their own, which is their biggest weakness!
At this moment, Su Lin, having completed his advancement, came to the edge of the Dissolving Cave and looked out at the endless water grass and ice layers, unable to help but let out a long howl, venting his joy at the tremendous increase in power!
The Wolf Howl, like thunder, rumbled and echoed under the pitch-black night sky!
....
It was exactly when Su Lin was advancing once again,
that the New Human Squadron exploring the Arctic had entered the Arctic from the northernmost parts of Siberia!
After entering, all kinds of communication equipment completely failed.
At this time, the Arctic was shrouded in pitch-black night, adding a horrifying and oppressive atmosphere to their exploration journey.
These specially made Heavy Armored Tanks were tailor-made for the large statures of New Humans.
New Human Squadron leader Bob was intently staring at the display inside the tank, careful not to miss any slight clue.
Around the tank were special high-definition night-vision detectors and miniature detection radars, as well as several micro drones.
This also ensured better shooting results.
As the captain of the New Human Squadron, Bob was naturally the strongest among them.
He once went to a professional physical testing lab to test his comprehensive physical fitness.
His Peak punching power reached 2300 pounds, an astonishing figure, heavier than the world's boxing champion of the past.
His Speed also reached seventeen meters per second, maintaining Peak Speed for about a minute.
Cardiorespiratory fitness, skin recovery ability, resistance to impact, reaction time, etc., all underwent earth-shattering changes.
One could say that now his overall quality surpassed the former world's best, and with his bare hands, he could easily kill dozens of ordinary humans.
But after witnessing the terrifying Strength of those true Mutated Creatures, Bob knew deeply that he was still too weak!
Only by relying on Peak Technology Weapons could they contend with these Mutated Creatures.
Arriving in the cold Arctic, with no signal, meant they had lost much of the true high-end Technological power support.
Therefore, this time Bob was more cautious than any other mission he had carried out before.
He sat motionless in front of the monitor, staring intently.
This time, accompanying Bob were thirty-two new humans who had also unlocked their genetic shackles; however, their strength was weaker than Bob's.
Their overall strength barely reached the limit of ordinary humans.
At this time, inside the heavy armored tank, a member of the new human squadron who had just woken up from his bunk bed,
stood up and randomly grabbed a piece of bread, chomping on it while speaking to Bob, "Captain, how about I take over for a while, and you go rest?"
This member was named Sander, the deputy captain of the squadron, and second to Bob in strength.
Usually, when Bob wasn't around, it was Sander who gave orders within the squadron.
Sander was calm and experienced in handling matters,
so after a brief moment of contemplation, Bob nodded, "Alright, I am indeed a bit tired; I'll take a few hours of rest. Notify me immediately if there's any situation."
Sander nodded, "No problem. But captain, are we sure about the route we're taking this time? If we explore from this area, we should encounter quite a few animals, yet we haven't seen a shadow of any species along the way."
Bob shook his head, "We haven't indeed, but under the polar night, many animals might have migrated or even have been frozen to death during that terrifying cold wave. So don't worry too much; we will just continue our exploration.
This time, let's explore the places marked on the map, and if we don't find anything after checking them all, that would also be good news for us because making it back alive would be a tremendous victory for us."
After finishing the bread in his hands, Sander said, "Yeah, let's hope we can make it back alive. We should be nearing the territory of the wolf pack that the researchers mentioned. Those Arctic Wolves have been surviving in the frigid Arctic all year round; surely they haven't all been frozen to extinction."
After handing over the duty to Sander,
Bob just took off his shoes, didn't even bother to take off his clothes, and lay down on the bunk saying, "Mhm, wolves are cunning and ferocious; they surely haven't gone extinct. This time our main goal is to explore the marked territories of the wolf packs to see if there are any mutated wolves among them."
"Alright, captain."
Sander, sitting in front of the monitor, readily agreed.
Such a scene was playing out in several heavy armored tanks.
Taking turns on watch and resting, this tedious life had long become the daily routine of the new human squadron.
At this moment, several heavy armored tanks of the new human squadron were at the forefront, followed by a heavy armored brigade that was slowly making its way into the Arctic.
Species were always scarce in the Arctic, even more so under the polar night.
Hence, the absence of animals along the way didn't alarm anyone.
What they didn't know was that all the species of unyielding wolf packs that roamed hundreds of miles around this area had been chased away or hunted.
Even the large herds of herbivores became prey for the wolf packs and were driven into a massive dissolving cave to take shelter from the frigid polar night.
This was why the region was so eerily silent.
And the Variant Species of Wolf Father and Wolf Mother, after having swallowed several of Su Lin's Black Rock Gao Lan Berries, had their strengths greatly enhanced.
Among them, Wolf Mother's talent was like Xiao Hui's, astonishingly, Ambush!
Ambush could conceal one's aura and also evade the most sophisticated of human detection equipment.
At this time, Wolf Mother, with her talent activated, watched from behind a pile of snow and ice with her pale blue wolf eyes, as these copper-colored behemoths slowly entered the wolf pack's territory.
Even though Wolf Mother had evolved into a Variant Species and her intelligence had greatly increased, she still couldn't comprehend what these copper-colored behemoths were.
But in the harsh ice and snow of the Arctic, usually, the larger the size, the stronger the creature.
Thus, in Wolf Mother's eyes, a flash of grave concern passed.
A behemoth of this size was definitely not something she could deal with.
Amidst the intense gaze, she quietly retreated, deciding to send her pack north to inform her offspring upon her return.
Last time an invincible fierce tiger appeared, and now several copper-colored behemoths had emerged. This made Wolf Mother feel that the wolf pack's territory, which had just settled down for a while, seemed to be becoming unstable again.
