Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 521

Chapter 521: Chapter 516: Troublesome Matters When Returning to Hometown 51 [Mass Release 45]

——————-

"Dad, why are there wolf howls!" Xu Xiaofen’s heart leapt as she saw her husband run off after speaking, her hands nervously clenching, inadvertently asking her father-in-law.

She had always thought that the old people in the village were making up stories about wolves and bears on the mountain!

But this night proved it to be true!

The wolf howls, sounding so close, could not be mistaken for sounds from a TV!

The howling of the pack was truly too close, and with the continuous transmission of the wolf cries, Qingfeng Village suddenly became gloomy and terrifying.

Among the people in the house, Xu Xiaofen was the most timid, Xiao Yi and a few others were still drowsy from being woken up from sleep, especially Xiao Wu, who was still sound asleep in Xiao Yi’s arms.

Seeing that her grandchildren were not frightened, Zhou Xiuhua told them to go back to sleep in the inner room.

Xiao’er and a few others were still in their growing phase, very sleepy, and had not known about the ferocity of wolves before, so they were not afraid and fell asleep again in a daze under their mother’s orders.

Upon hearing this, Yan Jinsu pursed her lips: Wild wolves only come near human settlements when they are truly out of food!

In the eyes of the wolf pack, any place with humans is considered a place of fire and activity.

Yan Jinsu was not a naive person, and recently she had been hunting a lot in the mountains, and immediately realized that it must be due to her hunting that the wolves had come down the mountain!

Her beautiful eyes saw her elder brother-in-law return and swiftly shut the front door, while Xu Xiaofen worriedly fixed her gaze on her husband. Seeing that he was unharmed, she finally relaxed a bit and quickly stepped forward to take the two water bottles from his hands.

Xie Tiesheng paced around the room a couple of times, and upon seeing his son return, he finally felt in the mood to answer Xu Xiaofen’s question, slowly explaining:

"In recent years, government policies have improved, and hardly anyone is willing to risk their lives to go hunting in the mountains anymore. Animals breed faster than humans and without natural predators, they will definitely become a threat!"

Unexpectedly, it hasn’t been long, and a pack of wolves has formed right above their homeland!

Xie Tiesheng still didn’t know that if it wasn’t for last year, Yan Jinsu had cleared out a large number of wild animals deep in the mountains, perhaps they would have come last year.

Deep in the mountains, there are many fierce and poisonous creatures, and the wild wolf population is expanding, but the territory is fixed. In an area with too many natural predators, docile wild animals, such as rabbits and wild chickens, have no room to breed. Thus, the excess wild wolves can only expand towards the edges close to human settlements.

Yan Jinsu, by accidentally driving away a military’s worth of wildlife, caused the wolf pack to lose its food chain, forcing competition within the pack—wolves eat other wolves!

A new wolf king was born, and part of the defeated pack was either eaten or driven away!

The exiled wild wolves could only develop further towards the outskirts—exactly the pack now besieging Qingfeng Village.

Before Yan Jinsu returned, there were a large number of wild animals around the mountain. If Yan Jinsu hadn’t hunted and stored meat [an apocalypse girl’s bad habit, she couldn’t stand seeing beasts too comfortable in front of her!], these wolves would only lack meat around the New Year, and only then might they come down the mountain to harm humans.

"But usually, we don’t hear wolf howls!" Xu Xiaofen said softly.

"Big sister, this wolf must be a deep mountain wolf that has just been driven out!" Yan Jinsu thought for a moment, then spoke to Xie Tiesheng:
