The fluorescent lamps on the ceiling flickered as Kw.a.n.g Hwi and his subordinates entered the warehouse . They split off into two groups so that they could more efficiently search the building . Additionally, they wouldn’t be clumped together in one big group .

The warehouse was in disarray, a clear indicator that chaos had swept through the building . Red blood painted the floor like it was a canvas . Items that had been neatly organized were ruthlessly torn from their packaging and strewn all over the floor .

It was fortunate that the layout of the warehouse was not complicated . Each aisle was neatly divided and evenly s.p.a.ced, making navigation a breeze for anyone .

“Team 1? How’s the search going?” Kw.a.n.g Hwi asked into his radio .

— “Aisles 1 to 10 clear . ” Each of the aisles were numbered accordingly, allowing the men to systematically report their progress .

Despite how smoothly everything was going, Kw.a.n.g Hwi couldn’t help but feel uneasy . There were ma.s.sive bloodstains all over the warehouse—and yet, not a single body could be found . But they disregarded these oddities; the men were not here to search for survivors . They were simply here to fulfill their objective of gathering supplies before leaving .

— “Copy . Team 2 will transfer the supplies into the box truck,” instructed Kw.a.n.g Hwi .

While Team 1 was responsible for checking their immediate surroundings of any dangers, Team 2 was in charge of moving the supplies into the box truck . As one of the men turned on the forklift, the loud rumble of the engine echoed throughout the warehouse . It was quickly overshadowed by the loud, high pitched warning beeps as they reversed the forklift .

Team 2 then quickly and efficiently maneuvered the forklift into lifting pallets of supplies, most of which contained canned food and bottled waters, into the box truck .

While wandering around the surroundings, checking to see if monsters would appear, Kw.a.n.g Hwi stopped in front of a hinged door that separated the warehouse from the supermarket . Looking down, he could see a long line of smeared blood that led into the supermarket side .

That by itself wasn’t anything significant . After all, such bloodstains could be seen all over the warehouse .

However, unlike the other areas, these bloodstains were still wet .

Kw.a.n.g Hwi carefully crept towards the door . As he approached, the foul stench of blood wafted heavily towards him . When he opened the door, his brows furrowed slightly as flies brushed past his face and a low buzzing sound whined in his ear .

Swarms of flies flitted about the display stands . On it, instead of having fruits displayed, were corpses piled grotesquely on top of each other . The dripping blood formed a small puddle underneath the stand that steadily grew larger .

Even for Kw.a.n.g Hwi, who had previously seen many grotesque things in his years as a mercenary, frowned at the sight before him . He finally understood why there were only bloodstains in the warehouse . All of the corpses had been brought here .

‘The question is, by whom?’

The question was quickly answered by a black shadow that appeared on the other side of the supermarket .

It looked like a wolf . Well, it was difficult to say that it looked like one, because the creature was much larger than any wolf that Kw.a.n.g Hwi knew off . It was probably at least twice the size of a normal wolf . Its fur was pitch black, as if it had been dyed by black paint . It blended into the darkness, making it difficult to spot .

To top it all off, there wasn’t just one wolf . There were probably more than a dozen of them dispersed throughout the supermarket . And they were all headed towards the pile of human corpses .

Soon the sound of crunching bones and tearing flesh filled the air as the wolves ripped apart the corpses . Devouring the limbs and heads in a single bite . Their teeth and fur were stained with blood as they made quick work of the pile of corpses . As if that wasn’t enough, they licked up the blood that had pooled under the corpses, leaving nothing behind .

‘It seems like there are around 40 to 50 of them . ’ Kw.a.n.g Hwi quietly backed away . Even for him, it was reckless to fight against 50 wolves alone . He could kill a lot of them with his gun, but in the time that took, the rest would’ve already pounced on him . To finish them off, he needed backup from his subordinates .

Kw.a.n.g Hwi slowly backed away towards the door . He very gently pushed open the door without making any sound . At least, that’s what he thought would happen .

Instead, a creaking noise echoed across the room as the door opened .

‘f.u.c.k . ’

The wolves who had been eating the corpses, whipped their heads towards Kw.a.n.g Hwi . Upon making eye contact, they bared their fangs, snarling at him . The large one was scratching at the floor getting ready to pounce at any moment . Kw.a.n.g Hwi grabbed the hand grenade that was attached to his vest . Pulling the safety pin out from the grenade, he flung it onto the floor . As the floor was drenched in blood, the grenade easily slid along the floor towards the approaching wolves . Kw.a.n.g Hwi immediately turned and dashed out of the supermarket .

The wolves simply stared at the grenade, not knowing what it was .

The force of the resulting explosion shook the entire building .

『You are the first person in the world to defeat a ‘Black Wolf . ’』

『You have obtained 500 MP . 』

— “Boss! What was that explosion …”

“Come to Aisle 15!” said Kw.a.n.g Hwi .

Kw.a.n.g Hwi pointed his gun towards the door and backed away, widening the gap between him and the wolves . After a few minutes, he felt the presence of his subordinates drawing closer to his position . They hurriedly stood in formation on both sides of Kw.a.n.g Hwi .

“They are about twice the size of a typical wolf . There’s at least 50 of them . ” he warned .

Nodding, the men aimed their guns towards the door . A haunting howl suddenly pierced through the air . A chill ran down their spines . Proving that they were not normal wolves, their cries caused Kw.a.n.g Hwi and his subordinates to stiffen in surprise . Before they could relax, the doors sprung open and a black shadow sprung forth . Its white teeth contrasted sharply against its pitch black fur . Its eyes were oozing bloodl.u.s.t .

Kw.a.n.g Hwi was the first to react to the sudden appearance of the Black Wolf . He pulled the trigger and shots rang out in quick succession . After a split second, the rest of his men followed suit, pressing down hard on their triggers with their index fingers .

The Black Wolves were quick, but even they couldn’t avoid a bullet . More than 10 of them rushed out quickly and collapsed almost immediately, unable to take a few steps beyond the door . They were very different from the Keku that were able to take up to 5 shots before dying . While the wolves were bigger and faster, their skin and flesh were more vulnerable than a Keku’s . They were unable to resist the bullets at all .

“It’s not over . ” Kw.a.n.g Hwi warned .

“Roger . ”

Kw.a.n.g Hwi did not let down his guard . Even though he had just thrown a hand grenade at them, they had not been grouped . Most likely, only a few had died upon impact . Although they had just killed 10 of them, there were still a lot of wolves left .

All of a sudden, gunshots rang through the air from behind . Kw.a.n.g Hwi quickly turned and looked behind .

— “Boss! There are multiple Keku approaching the warehouse!”

The situation was not looking good . Despite being in an ostensibly secluded location, roughly 200 Keku had appeared around his house . There was no way such a populated area would have only 200 . Plus, Kw.a.n.g Hwi still had to deal with these large wolves .

“Are the supplies loaded?” Kw.a.n.g Hwi asked .

— “We have fully loaded two box trucks!”

“Start the engine! We’re retreating . Hurry!” ordered Kw.a.n.g Hwi .

The men started to dash towards the other side of the warehouse . Kw.a.n.g Hwi took out his last hand grenade . Thankfully, the door had been slightly open by the now dead Black Wolves . He pulled the pin and threw the grenade into the supermarket .

Another explosion rocked the building .

『You have defeated 10 Black Wolves faster than anybody else in the world . 』

『You have obtained 1000 MP . 』

By the time Kw.a.n.g Hwi arrived at the entrance of the warehouse, the box trucks that were filled with supplies were already leaving the driveway .

The trucks rumbled towards the approaching Keku without any hesitation . The Keku wisely jumped out of the way . Clearly, they were at least intelligent enough to recognize the futility of trying to stop a truck . An SUV followed the trucks . Bullets rained from the vehicle .

The Keku, who had been too busy avoiding the box truck, were unable to avoid the bullets that were fired at them . Meanwhile, the last sedan was waiting for Kw.a.n.g Hwi .

“Boss! Over here!”

Kw.a.n.g Hwi hurried towards the car . After getting into the sedan, they departed in haste . Some of the Keku tried to block the road, perhaps thinking that due to the vehicle’s relatively small size, they would be able to do so . But the sedan just ran over them at full speed .

With a loud slam, the Keku were knocked away . The hood and the b.u.mper of the car were damaged from the hit, but other than the newly acquired dents, the car was fine . Except the driver, everyone in the car was busy shooting at the Keku .

The sedan quickly turned and left the supermarket . The subordinate who had been focused on driving glanced back .

“Boss?”

“What is it?” asked Kw.a.n.g Hwi .

“The monsters are still chasing us from behind . ”

Kw.a.n.g Hwi turned . Behind them was a pack of Black Wolves chasing them .

“Aren’t those… Keku on top of the Black Wolves?” asked one of the subordinates in disbelief .

It was truly an unusual sight: a Keku riding on top of a Black Wolf . It was as if he was looking at a monsterfied version of a cavalry unit . Not only that, the Black Wolves were actually slowly catching up to the car .

Kw.a.n.g Hwi knew just how heavy the Keku were . And yet, these Black Wolves were able to catch up to a sedan operating at full speed while carrying them . He was amused by the Black Wolves’ raw speed . Kw.a.n.g Hwi pointed his gun towards the rear . His subordinates mirrored his actions .

They tapped their guns against the rear gla.s.s . Although it didn’t break off cleanly, the hole was just wide enough stick the gun muzzle out to fire at them . Sticking out the muzzle of his gun and looking through the 4x ACOG scope, Kw.a.n.g Hwi could clearly see the monsters .

Despite the considerable distance between the two, it felt as if they were right in front of him . Taking in a breath, he calmly exhaled as he pulled the trigger .

At the sound of the gunshot, the Black Wolf closest to him immediately collapsed onto the road dead . The Keku that had been riding on top of the Black Wolf wasn’t safe either . Its head hit the floor, instantly breaking its neck .

Kw.a.n.g Hwi immediately took aim at the next monster . Gunshots rang through the air in quick succession . Whenever he mechanically pulled the trigger, the number of Black Wolves chasing the sedan declined one by one .

As the number of Black Wolves that had their heads blown up increased to the double digits, the wolf furthest from the car stopped chasing . With its ma.s.sive body and eyes dyed blood red, it looked to be the leader of the pack .

A blood-curdling howl echoed through the air . The other wolves stopped . Of course, this did not mean that Kw.a.n.g Hwi had any obligation to stop firing at them . Gunshots continued to echo in quick succession . They even managed to kill three more wolves before they were out of range .

Despite the distance between them increasing, Kw.a.n.g Hwi could feel the heavy gaze coming from the pack leader . It was a gaze filled with bloodl.u.s.t . Had it been a weak willed person who was subjected to such a gaze, they would have fainted on the spot . Naturally, this had no effect on Kw.a.n.g Hwi . After all, he had been exposed to much stronger bloodl.u.s.t in the past .
