Chapter 95: Cat Tracks
The first time Bouchard heard it, she almost thought she had heard it wrong.
When were there any human survivors among the wolf pack?
When were they caught? The tracking traces did not indicate this at all, which either meant that the wolves did not catch many people, or that the wolves would disturb the traces.
No matter how horrifying it was, he should meet the survivor first to get more information.
"My name is Theo, and I'm a resident of Rose Town. We were attacked that day, and about dozens of people were controlled. Then they took us along the way. I don't know where we passed through, but finally we stopped. The wolf leader suddenly started trying to communicate with me, but the magical thing is that I could actually have a simple communication with it." Theo's eyes were filled with unconcealed surprise.
"How?" Bouchard asked.
"It's hard to explain. It just used its claws to gesture on the ground a few times, and I had a guess. When I told it my guess, it actually nodded!"
"How does it perform?" Bouchard was silent for a moment and then continued to ask.
"It's hard to say, because it was just a simple communication. The content was probably asking me if I wanted to go back and pass on information to it." Theo shook his head blankly.
"What message is it?"
"It means roughly: admit that they have established a kingdom or territory in the north, I guess the area north of the Great Slave Lake, and provide them with a thousand adult cattle or an equivalent amount of food every month. It doesn't matter if it's frozen, and they will stop attacking human towns."
Bouchard's mouth twitched.
Damn it, even wolves would sign unequal treaties with humans.
There is almost no need to think about this kind of treaty, the official will not agree to it.
Given the current world situation, even unequal treaties between countries have to go through some disguise in order to save face, not to mention this kind of treaty, which can be directly regarded as treasonous, and was proposed by animals.
What qualifications do they have to sit at the negotiating table with humans?
This world is not like the environment in Western fantasy where there are many races and humans are the only overlords.
Even though the Feng Kingdom is not very powerful militarily, and even though they have a vast territory and a sparse population, many areas are no different from uninhabited areas.
This is a matter of principle!
unless
"If you don't agree, they will launch a full-scale attack on us," Theo said weakly.
"Haha, I hope they rush over and fight us head-on." Bushar is confident that any animal will be defeated in front of humans' superior firepower theory.
Let alone thousands, even if there were hundreds of thousands, they would only be canned meat. Being slaughtered would be their only fate, unless they were some creatures imagined by humans. However, even for these monsters, human firepower was not completely useless.
After the conversation, not long after, Bushar received the restoration picture of the wolf leader that Theo mentioned. It was a majestic and very strong silver wild wolf, with fluffy and thick long hair that seemed quite majestic.
"Since it wants to negotiate, it must be under pressure. In this case, we should take advantage of the situation and increase the search efforts!"
Bouchard viewed the alpha wolf's attempt at negotiation as a sign of weakness and intensified his search for the wolf pack.
However, this excitement only lasted for one day. From the next day, he received news from various places. Wolves appeared outside more than ten towns and seemed to be about to launch an attack.
A large number of vehicles on the road were attacked by wild wolves, resulting in countless casualties.
Bouchard tried to make amends after his mistake, but the wolves outside the town would slip into the forest when they saw a large number of people, and would swarm over them when there were fewer people. They were so slippery that they were more aggressive than guerrillas.
What’s even more bizarre is that they can even identify drones! Sometimes drones are inexplicably attacked by some birds, and it’s unclear whether it’s an accident or the birds have been bribed by the wolves.
The wolves that attacked the highway also picked targets that were easy to bully. They ignored the armored vehicles that were not easy to mess with. Did they have to protect the entire highway? Oh my God, there were not so many soldiers!
By the time the soldiers disguised themselves as cars to lure the wolves away, they had already moved to another road.
He felt that dealing with these wolves would be much more troublesome than dealing with a modern army.
Finally, accountability from the upper level came as expected. Faced with clear evidence of incompetence, he was forced to hand over his command and became the deputy of the new commander.
The human-werewolf confrontation in Maple Country is still going on.
Ever since the wolf plague appeared in Maple Country, the number of incidents involving supernatural creatures around the world has suddenly begun to surge.
After careful investigations in some countries, it was discovered that there had actually been quite a few such incidents before, but the behavior of those animals was not that outrageous, so people did not think of it in a supernatural way. Even if they did think of it that way, they were overwhelmed by the larger number of "supernatural events" that were either claimed or witnessed.
But now that we have this option, naturally many events can be stuffed into it. However, because the time is still short, no connections have been investigated for the time being.
As the "birthplace of the supernatural", Japan is naturally "not willing to lag behind". In some remote villages, there are dogs that can't be killed and wild boars that can break down walls.
Fortunately, the casualties were not great, and the Special Affairs Bureau is also actively exploring the common features of the appearance of these extraordinary animals.
"Come to think of it, I saw a video quite a while ago, maybe in April. It was about a wild cat that could actually push down a child and tear his clothes with one claw. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now that I think about it, it might be related to the extraordinary." A police officer talked about something he saw on a video while eating.
William, the socialite of the Special Affairs Bureau, had an idea and looked around the cafeteria, but did not find Kuroki and Noguchi.
He did not respond to this, but changed the subject and talked about the increasing overtime work, which finally made everyone resonate with the topic.
They complained one after another, saying that if they continued to work overtime, their wives would cheat on them, and that by the time they returned home they might have children and had forgotten where their home was.
The 2D singles also said that they don’t have time to play any new blockbusters, and if they don’t earn coins for their mobile game wives, game manufacturers will abandon them.
William also joined in, saying frankly that his new girlfriend had broken up with him because he was too busy with work, which made some female colleagues who had ideas about the matter feel moved.
Compared to other leaders, William does appear to be the closest to his subordinates. When he mingles with his subordinates, there is almost no trace of a foreigner. He can use all kinds of local slangs fluently, and he can understand and give feedback when others use puns as jokes.
So everyone dares to complain about working too much overtime in front of him.
But playing aside, after dinner, everyone devoted themselves to their work. After all, the welfare allowances provided by the Special Affairs Bureau were indeed generous enough, and they were also driven by a sense of responsibility as if the life and death of the entire country depended on them.
As usual, William returned to his office and used Amei's phone to search for the suspected extraordinary cat mentioned earlier.
