Chapter 6: Black Plume of Smoke
Wolf howls can still be heard in the distance.
When I listened carefully, I found that there seemed to be a little distance between me and where I was.
Zhang Xiaokai's right hand gripped the mouth of the wine bottle and used it as a knife, and before he knew it, a few minutes passed.
He didn't dare to take it lightly.
I'm afraid that as soon as I relax, a giant wolf will pounce on me and bite my throat fiercely!
Just.
I almost died!
Being besieged by wolves, this was originally something that could only be seen in books or on TV, but Zhang Xiaokai experienced it himself.
At this time, his back was covered with sweat, and after carefully checking the movements around him, he didn't notice anything abnormal, so he collapsed under the roots of the tree, and he had no strength in his body.
He had never seen a wolf of this size before, and today he killed four of them, at the cost of all the bullets in his pistol and a little wound to his right hand.
As the rhythm of my heart beat slowed down, I realized that my right arm could not be raised.
Reaching out and touching it, there was no dislocation, just because of the recoil of the pistol, and the force was too strong when stabbing the wolf.
On the face that was frozen red, a smile of joy for the rest of his life gradually emerged.
Leaning on the big tree, silently thanking the deceased airplane pilot, his clothes and food saved Zhang Xiaokai's life, and the gun saved him for the second time, I really hope that the other party can enter the kingdom of heaven, and he can live until now, and the pilot's credit is the greatest.
Only then did he have the energy to turn his head and look at the carcass of a little white-tailed deer next to the corpse of a she-wolf.
Speaking of which, it also helped Zhang Xiaokai block a catastrophe.
If the she-wolf hadn't rushed to the fawn and bit the fawn's throat first, he would never have been able to aim at the she-wolf and fire those shots.
In addition, several giant wolves went to rummage through the carcasses of the doe buried in the snow by him, which also gave Zhang Xiaokai a glimmer of life.
In retrospect, I was a little glad that I was afraid of them, and fortunately I was there in the end, and I was fortunate that I scared off the wolves in the end, otherwise I might have stabbed one more wolf to death, and the rest would have bitten him to death.
Who told the wolf not to count, not to count how many shots have been fired, and how many bullets are left?
Anyway, Zhang Xiaokai survived for the time being.
After resting for a while and eating a mouthful of snow, he got up with difficulty and buried the carcasses of the fawn and doe that were kind to him in the snow.
It's a pity that the original promise could not be fulfilled, saying that it was to help take care of the fawn, but in the end, the little guy ended up like this, and was bitten to death by a wolf after not living a few more hours.
He thought about it when he buried them, and then he didn't want to think about it anymore.
Subconsciously escaped, because no matter what he thought, Zhang Xiaokai felt that he was at a loss, and the only thing that could comfort his heart was that only in that case, he had tried his best.
However, it is useless, dead is dead, and this fawn will never come back to life.
……
Holding the mouth of the bottle that could be used as a weapon, he sat still and continued to rest for a while.
I didn't dare to close my eyes, and every time I just closed them, a pair of glowing wolf eyes would appear in my mind, as well as the deer that was bitten to death.
After resting for more than three hours before, I was stimulated by the wolf attack again, and I was not very sleepy for the time being, thinking that the remaining wolves might return, so I hurriedly packed up my things and prepared to go on the road and continue to look for my parents.
There was no cold wind, it seemed warmer than before, and the snow reflected the light, making the night less dark, at least to see what was up close.
I finally realized that this was not a metropolis, and that there were man-eating beasts living there, and I watched the movements around me carefully.
Occasionally observing the pine tree, thinking if it would be safer if it was sleeping on the tree, I tied the board to my feet again, checked it, and made sure that there was nothing missing, so I found a direction with my instinct and began to continue the search.
Staggering, wrestling from time to time, there is no change in the willingness to find parents, no matter how hard and tired you are, you have to endure it yourself.
Zhang Xiaokai already understood that this is not at home or at school, and someone will comfort him when he cries, so many times because of the wound at the tiger's mouth, tears swirled in his eyes, but he didn't cry after all.
In this way, more than an hour passed, and it was difficult to walk two or three hundred meters.
The descent is easier than the uphill, and you can occasionally slide down the steep slopes, the ground is covered with thick snow, and even if you fall, it won't be too cold, and the clothes on your body are very thick.
At almost four o'clock in the morning, in addition to the cockpit of the plane that had been in place for a long time, Zhang Xiaokai once again had close contact with human society, almost only a few hundred meters away.
He was on the ground, and the helicopter was in the air.
The helicopter with the lights on, even the blue exterior paint could be seen, thinking that the rescue team had finally found it, through the gap in the treetops, looking at the helicopter in the sky, Zhang Xiaokai was so excited that he yelled and lit the lighter, which was the only object on his body that would glow.
But the helicopter didn't stop, it just flew over his head, first out of sight, and then out of sight.
Leaving Zhang Xiaokai looking at the sky between the branches in despair, he was annoyed that he didn't stay on the top of the mountain, there were no trees to block it, and the people on the helicopter would definitely be able to see him.
I was also annoyed why I had to leave, otherwise I would have reached the top of the mountain soon.
At first, there was hope, but soon he was lonely, desperately trying to set the tree on fire so that the people in the helicopter could see it, but he was just doing useless work.
No one knows what kind of despair Zhang Xiaokai felt at this time, just like he was desperate because he couldn't find his parents, and there was still a little bit of thought in his heart, wondering if the helicopter would find the nose on the other side of the mountain.
When the thought arose, he reinvigorated.
Even thinking about their parents, whether they have been rescued by the rescue team, is now just looking for themselves, and the unlucky Mr. Driver!
The cloudy eyes, which could glow in the dark night of the woods, quickly threw away a heavier deer leg and climbed up the hill again.
It was true that he could choose to go around the road, but he couldn't recognize the way, his vision was blocked by the trees, and it was safest to follow the old way down the mountain to return to it, not to mention that he could call a helicopter back at the top of the mountain.
It's a good idea, but it's very physically demanding.
I don't have to worry about the water, I still have food, and although I am tired, I don't plan to rest, and I want to climb the mountain in one go.
It was late in the morning, about seven o'clock in the morning, and he returned to the place where the meat had been roasted by the fire last night.
The scene he saw in front of him made him frightened, and he clearly buried the bodies of two deer, one large and one small, in the snow, but what he saw at this moment were two skeletons, and even the internal organs of the giant wolf were pulled out, and the scene was very scary.
Holding the sharp whiskey bottle in his hand again, Zhang Xiaokai had no doubt that if he had stayed here for the night last night, he would have become one of these bodies.
That kind of ending, just thinking about it can make him feel chills in his heart.
I didn't bury them anymore, and I didn't plan to rest here for a while, as I had thought before, and I walked to the top of the mountain at a faster pace, until I could no longer see the dense footprints in the snow, and then I felt a little more at ease.
Standing on the top of the mountain he had climbed.
Black smoke suddenly appeared in his field of vision, floating up from the ground, a little away from where he was, and the whole person couldn't help but be stunned......
