The flame gradually decreases until it is extinguished.

The charcoal has a red color, and you can feel the temperature while sitting next to it.

Nervous and tired, the white-tailed deer cubs sleep soundly by the charcoal fire, their ears twitching from time to time, and they are not as vigilant as adult white-tailed deer.

Beside.

Zhang Xiaokai, who was leaning cross-legged against the big tree, also slept deeply.

It had been nearly ten hours since he left the nose of the plane, and he was so tired that a slight exhalation came from his nose.

It was in the leeward area, and there were big trees to block the wind, and it was not as cold as before after the snow stopped.

Cold snaps that move south from the Arctic into Canada's hinterland and head south to the border tend not to last long, and if nothing else, temperatures may warm up slightly.

It's still cold, but it's certainly not as hard as the other day, which is a great thing for a teenager in the cold wilderness.

Zhang Xiaokai's face has been frostbitten, the bridge of his nose and the door of his head, it is impossible to wrap his entire head, sitting by the fire and feeling the temperature, not only itchy, but also red, swollen and painful.

It's also a good thing that he can still feel pain after being frostbitten, and the clothes, gloves, and cotton shoes on his body have saved him more than once.

Minutes and seconds passed.

There was occasional movement in the woods, the sound of snow falling from the treetops, the eerie calls of owls, and the chirping of other birds.

It's already the end of January.

After a while, the weather will be warmer after the beginning of spring, and the days will be much more comfortable for both people and animals.

Not yet, it's too cold this year.

The prolonged cold caused a large number of animals to die, herbivores could not find hay to eat for the winter, and after starvation, the carcasses were covered with snow, so that the carnivores could not survive.

At about three o'clock in the night, a black shadow approached the big tree where Zhang Xiaokai was.

The British Columbia wolf, the largest wolf in the world, has a keen sense of smell and is extremely fast, from small hare and squirrel to elk and bison.

This small team originally had only three wolves, and it was difficult to hunt prey after the winter this year, and successively formed a larger team with five other wolves, with a relatively high IQ, and they knew that more than they could, they could eat some difficult prey, such as male adult elk.

The leader was the first to approach, a male wolf with a body of more than two meters, whose mate was slightly smaller, and followed closely beside him, lowering his body, his ears apart, and cautiously approaching Zhang Xiaokai, the prey in their eyes, including the little white-tailed deer.

The smell of cooked meat, as well as the smell of the gob's blood, was a beacon in the dark of the night for the British Columbia wolves.

Zhang Xiaokai was still asleep, he was not vigilant at all, and he did not know that he was surrounded by wolves.

The distance between the two is only more than ten meters, and it is still getting closer.

At this time, the little white-tailed deer suddenly woke up, and out of instinct, he subconsciously wanted to escape.

One of its legs was tied with a rope, and the other end was tied to Zhang Xiaokai's leg, and it was startled, first feeling pain in its face, and then slowly opening its eyes.

Thinking that the prey was about to escape, the head wolf raised his head and let out a "whoop~" cry, and took the lead in speeding up! The other scattered British Columbia wolves followed closely and rushed towards the surrounded prey!

Hearing the wolf howl that was close at hand, Zhang Xiaokai's eyes widened suddenly, frightened by the bright eyes in the snow, and his back was close to the trunk of the tree!

His right hand hurriedly reached into his pocket, took out the pistol that the driver was wearing, and pulled the trigger on the shadow that was running towards him!

It's all an instinctive reaction to danger, and I just woke up from sleep and was still confused, forgetting that the safety bolt was not opened, and naturally there were no bullets shooting.

A gray-haired, huge male wolf had already arrived in front of him, grinning with teeth and a fierce expression, and pounced towards Zhang Xiaokai!

Pushing open the safety bolt with his frozen hand, holding the gun in both hands, he didn't dare to look at the wolf, turned his head and pulled the trigger twice in succession, his hand was shocked to numbness, and the tiger's mouth was also scratched by the gun cover with bloody marks.

I was lucky, and the distance was so close, so I hit the random fight.

The first bullet hit the male wolf's ear, and the second flew somewhere.

The pain hit, the wolf roared, subconsciously stopped, and the fierce light in his eyes was even stronger!

After the gunshots rang out, there was an echo, Zhang Xiaokai came back to his senses, looked at one, two, three, four, five, and the five giant wolves that came together a few meters away from him, and his heart was cold.

The leading male wolf stopped, but the she-wolf who followed did not stop, driven by hunger, pounced on the fawn that could not escape, opened its mouth and pounced on it, and then bit its neck deadly, and hot blood ran down the teeth of the she-wolf.

The other wolves also moved, they didn't care what kind of human being, they were so hungry that they ate even the cubs of their kind.

Zhang Xiaokai was frightened by the she-wolf who pounced in front of him, and shouted: "Ah!!"

With a gun in both hands, he fired three shots at it in a row, all of them in the stomach.

didn't stop, the muzzle of the gun changed direction, and he fired another shot at the male wolf, and his luck was against the sky, and he hit the eye.

The bullet penetrated through the eye socket, shattered the brain, and immediately fell to the ground.

No matter how strong his body is, it looks like paper paste compared to a gun, Zhang Xiaokai doesn't know how to press a gun, and he has never fired a gun before.

Children who grew up in the United States, even if they have never eaten pork at his age, must have seen pigs running and know how to use them. With a gun in both hands, his hands stretched out straight, his recoil is acceptable, and his back is against a tree.

Seeing that the male wolf fell to the ground, the other two hungry wolves who were pulling the carcass of the doe and opened their mouths to bite suddenly raised their heads.

In normal times, the wolves would retreat after the first shot, but this is the case when they are too hungry to give up their prey.

A wolf jumped up on the carcass of the male wolf, hurriedly fired another shot, and after noticing the hit, he quickly deflected the muzzle of the gun, and fired two shots in succession at another wolf that was approaching.

When the trigger was pulled again, no shots were heard, and all the bullets were gone.

The she-wolf who had just jumped up was hit in the lower body, and on its hind legs, fell from the air and fell into the coal-fire.

The outside is almost extinguished, the inside is still very hot, the abdomen is in direct contact with the charcoal fire, and the cry is mournful in an instant, and the hind legs are injured and can't use their strength, they can't stand up at all, and they are writhing and rolling in the scattered charcoal fire, and the sound is tragic and loud.

The rest of the wolves were startled, they had never heard a companion bark like this, and they were frightened.

The leader died, and another experienced old wolf quickly usurped the throne, and ran away into the distance in an instant with a howl, and the hunter often went into the mountains, and it suffered under the sound of gunfire, and had a profound lesson.

Half of the loss has passed, and the ferocity has also turned into fear, and he is the first to run away.

The remaining wolves hesitated for a moment, followed and left, not really leaving, but just walked a little farther away and continued to watch.

The British Columbia wolf was so clever that it cherished its own life, and the she-wolf who fell into the charcoal fire was not dead, and her wailing continued, and the other wounded wolf, who was not dead, was also rolling in the snow and wailing, the blood flowing out was clearly visible, and the liquid dripping from its neck stained a large area of snow.

Zhang Xiaokai's eyes were very wide, the hand holding the gun was still trembling, and his heartbeat was so fast that he couldn't think, but he kept breathing in the cold air.

When the wolf's paw grabbed his cotton pants, he jumped to the side in fright, threw away the pistol, picked up the glass bottle, and stabbed the wolf more than ten times at the wolf that was not yet dead, and every time he was stuck in the bone, he would let go.

It was purely a survival instinct, and he was not strong enough to remain calm in the face of the giant wolf......
