Chapter 17: The Bonfire Scatters (Part II)
"Ah!!h
A slightly broken scream resounded throughout the beach, and the students who were close to the forest turned their heads to look in the direction from which the sound came.
The girl stumbled towards the firelight, shouting and screaming, "Ah, there is... There's a wolf! β
Because he ran too fast, after being tripped by the sand dunes, the whole person planted a big heel.
A tall figure hurriedly ran over, helped the quiet girl up, and asked with concern, "How is it?
The quiet girl cried with a sad face, threw herself into the arms of the person, and shouted wow: "Jessica, I'm so afraid, there are wolves in the woods, there are wolves in the woods." It'sβit's coming."
As soon as the quiet girl heard the voice, she knew that it was Jessica, the sports committee, who was here. A sense of security seemed to envelop her whole body in an instant, and she subconsciously threw herself into the other party's arms.
"What, there's nothing behind you. Nerd, isn't it stupid if you haven't read for too long?"
"Porto, shut your foul mouth. Let me hear you say a word again, and I'll discount your mouth. Jessica shouted at the man who had just spoken, and then patted the quiet girl on the back and comforted, "It's okay, you see, there's no wolf chasing you." Relax, want something to drink?"
The quiet girl raised her head, turned her head tremblingly, and looked in the direction of the forest.
The forest was dark, and there were no wild wolves at all. The quiet girl breathed a sigh of relief, and as soon as her spirit relaxed, she only felt that her knees were burning with pain.
She let go of the hand holding Jessica, took out a handkerchief from her pocket, and just wanted to bandage her wound, she stopped in an instant, and asked her classmates, "Does anyone bring mineral water?" β
Before she could notice who gave her an answer, the quiet girl's whole body was taken away and she fell to the beach again.
Wolves howled, screams, footsteps, and crashes followed.
Jessica picked up the quiet girl and quickly ran towards the crowd, shouting as she ran: "The wolf is coming, the wolf is coming, whoever has a gun, hurry up and get rid of them." β
Four giant wolves rushed out of the forest, and with thunderous movements, they rushed towards the crowd.
The wolf entered the flock and staged it alive in front of a group of students, but this time the "sheep" became themselves.
The commotion continued to spread from the side close to the forest to the surrounding of the crowd, and the people fled in different directions, but none of them chose to move away from the forest.
Bruno pulled out a branch from the campfire that had not yet been burned, and shouted to the crowd: "Take weapons for self-defense, use fire without weapons, don't run with your back to them, face them bravely." There are many of us, and we are not afraid of these beasts. β
"The one who had the courage was a man who followed me. I took the lead in driving them away. As soon as the words fell, Bruno was already holding a large flaming branch, like a knight with a spear, and launched a charge.
Bruno, who was swimming against the current, soon faced the wolves.
He gasped, and rushed up without thinking about it. Now looking at the giant wolf with teeth and teeth, the hand holding the branch is trembling a little.
Bruno's eyes widened, staring at the movements of the four giant wolves, judging the next line of attack, trying to stop the opponent.
It's just that to Bruno's surprise, these giant wolves have no fear of the burning torch in his hand at all, and directly pounce on him.
Caught off guard, Bruno was thrown on the beach, and he only had time to support the giant wolf's body with a large branch to prevent it from approaching.
When he got closer, Bruno noticed that there was a madness in the eyes of the giant wolf, and the look in his eyes seemed to be about to break him into pieces.
The claws, with the traces of mud and sand, leaned against the branches of the tree, kept scratching at him. The pressure on him from the branches grew bigger and bigger as the giant wolf moved.
Bruno exerts his hands to make sure he doesn't get caught, and he thinks about how he can get out of this predicament.
"Whoever will help me drive it down, I won't last long. Bruno turned his head, dodging a bite from the wolf, and shouted at the people around him who were hiding from the wolf.
In the little time that Bruno had given away, the other wolves had already crossed Bruno's side and attacked the people around him.
Basically all of them were fleeing, and no one had the ability to save him. Even if someone wanted to save him, few of these students had the courage.
Not far away, there was a man who was so frightened that he shrunk into a ball, hiding his head like an ostrich.
Nobody, no one to save me? Bruno's shoulder was marked several times, blood dripping down his clothes and onto the sand.
Smelling the fishy smell of the giant wolf, Bruno's hands gradually weakened, as if death was about to befall him.
Is there a marquee when he dies? Surprisingly, Bruno's mind was now skimmed by such an inconsequential question.
"Bang!" There was a loud bang, and Bruno, who was struggling to die, let go of his hand, and just pressed him to death, and when he was a giant wolf like an enemy, he suddenly ran towards another place.
Although he didn't know how the giant wolf changed his target, Bruno, who had escaped death, immediately cheered up and pounced on the other wolf.
The flame branch was rounded by his wheel, and it struck a wild wolf biting a student's hand.
The wolf was in pain, let go of its mouth, and fled to the side.
Bruno didn't continue to deal with the injured student, and after leaving a sentence to treat the wound himself, he continued to rescue the next person.
"Don't come out, hide behind me. Jessica also confronted a wild wolf with a fiery branch, and behind her was a quiet and timid girl.
"I don't know where the monster came from, and why it doesn't seem to be afraid of fire. Bruno rushed over and chased the wolf away with a single shot, and said to Jessica.
The quiet girl said a little timidly: "I don't think it's like I'm not afraid, it's more like I've never seen fire." β
"I guess so, yes. Bruno looked at the wild wolves around him who were retreating, and gradually realized that maybe there had never been a fire on this island.
A series of gunshots rang out one after another, and the bullets hit the giant wolf accurately, saving the two girls who were about to die.
"Whew!"
After a long roar, the three giant wolves fled back into the woods with a scar.
"Saved. β
"I'm getting out of this damn place. β
"Who has medicine, my hands hurt so much. β
On the beach, bonfires scattered everywhere, and more than a dozen students stood or sat and gradually began to talk.
Someone had already noticed who had saved them, and said to Paul, who was walking by, "Thank you, I'll write a report for your company when I get back." β
The one who spoke was a reporter who was recording the incident with a camera on the side. They were recording the bonfire ball, and Sara was reporting on it.
As soon as the wolves attacked, Sara left her job and ran into the crowd. It made Michael very worried, especially when he saw Sara pounce directly on a girl who was about to be attacked in order to save people.
I really want to take a step forward and stage a heroic scene to save the beauty when the other party is in danger. But through the camera, seeing the crazy eyes of the giant wolf, his legs couldn't help but tremble, and he couldn't move at all.
Paul nodded expressionlessly, and then shouted in a deep voice, "Who are you in charge?"
Teacher Charlie gently put down an injured child and said to Paul, "I am the teacher of these children, thank you for your help." β
"Tell me where you are stationed. Paul's voice was calm, but there was a majesty that was impossible to refuse.
Charlie subconsciously replied, "Next to the cave on the western coast." β
As soon as the words came out, Charlie's heart suddenly burst out, and he asked with some concern, "What's wrong? Need to know this?"
Paul bluntly said, "I am going to camp near you, with advance notice." β
"That's great, and frankly, I always have a bad feeling. I'm much more relieved to have you here. Hope to give me a business card of your company, and I can contact you if I have such an adventure in the future. When Charlie heard this, his heart suddenly felt a lot more relieved.
Although the other party seems to be a little unkind, compared to a beast that can't communicate at all, it is naturally more reassuring to be human.
The dance party ended unhappily, and that night, everyone's faces were a little heavy, and they went back to their tents.
Even if a girl proposed to go to a nearby water source to take a bath before, she didn't dare to bring it up again.
The vigil was also scheduled to be manned by boys at all times.
It was night, and two boys who were keeping vigil sat on the stone at the entrance of the cave, chatting with each other.
"I'll be able to go back tomorrow, I remember that someone will come tomorrow to deliver supplies. β
"What are you going back to? Just because of a few wolves? Wild beasts will appear, didn't we have guessed on the way over. What did you say at the time......" The man pretended to be a classmate and continued: "Just a beast, just give him a shot and it's over." β
"Speaking of which, it seems like that person is the one who said this. Know to behave yourself all day long. It seems that when the wolf came, he was afraid of emptying the gun. β
"Yes, now that I think about it, he was so embarrassed at that time, super angry. But it's no wonder he's afraid, I heard Bruno just say to his companion that the wolf's eyes were bloodshot, like crazy. β
A tall black man suddenly appeared in their field of vision, causing the two of them to grab their weapons and look at each other vigilantly.
However, after seeing each other's appearances clearly, the two relaxed and said to him, "Hello, Captain Paul. β
"Captain, is there anything you want us to help with?" These students admired Captain Paul, who shot decisively and killed the giant wolf today.
"He's just here for revenge. Avenging his wife. When Paul had finished speaking, he returned to the shadows and looked at the moon in distraction.
The two boys glanced at each other, a little curious about what the other was trying to say. How did Captain Paul know it was for revenge?
Inside and outside the cave, nearly twenty tents were erected.
Worry and panic led to insomnia, and more than half of the tents were lit up, and friends who usually got along closely said words of comfort and encouragement.
Of course, there are also, who are optimistic by nature, don't take it seriously at all, and fall asleep.
But no matter who it is, no matter what kind of mentality, they are waiting for the arrival of the supply ship.
The sun shines over the mountains and spreads its rays all over the island.
On the beach, people start to get busy early in the morning.
Teacher Charlie, with the bread brought from the boat in his hand, took his students directly and quickly collected various samples.
Sara led her colleagues as she filmed the remnants of last night's attack and interviewed the reactions of the various students.
"Hello, can I ask you a few questions?" asked Sarah, holding the interview microphone and turning to a young man.
The man turned around, sorted out his appearance, and said to Sara with a smile, "No problem, absolutely no problem." β
"Excuse me, where was Mr. when the wolf attacked yesterday?"
"I was on the other side of the sea, watching a show. β
"Why do you think the wolves attacked us last night?" said Sarah, who quickly asked a second question.
"I heard that someone killed the wolf king's wife, so he came to take revenge. Didn't the rich man's wife go into the forest with her bodyguard in the morning? and then came back wounded, and they must have caused the trouble. β
Sara was a little surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the source of this news?"
"Listen to what the night watchman said last night, but many people have seen the injury of the rich wife. And I heard that it was still a claw wound. β
"So it seems that they should have taken revenge by wounding a wolf. Sara replied before moving on to the next topic.
"There will be a supply ship coming to the island today, will you choose to leave early?"
Sara's simple words made the other party a little difficult to answer, and after hesitating for a while, the man said, "I should stay and leave together on the third day." After all, isn't it a pity to come here once and return to the ship right away?"
Sara naturally will not debunk the other party's thoughts, fear of death is the instinct of survival, there is no need to lift the other party's fig leaf.
"Thank you very much, sir, for your cooperation, so this interview will be here first, and I will ask another person. β
The man looked at Sarah's back and asked, "Now, can I see my interview on TV?"
"If there are no exceptions, it is possible. Sir, the material you provide is valuable. β
Waving his hand, he said goodbye to the extremely excited man, and was about to go to interview the next person, when a girl rushed over, hugged Sarah's hand and shouted, "Sister Sarah, do you want an interview?
The woman stared at Sara with wide eyes, her eyes full of gratitude and adoration.
Sara recognized that this was the girl she rushed over to save last night.
"Naturally, it's fine, but don't talk nonsense during the interview!" Sara poked her girl's forehead, and she followed her to the interview.
Most of the rest of the interviews were about a few questions.
The source of the attack, the choice of staying on the island, and the source of the mystery of the island.
Most of the answers were similar.
Basically, it is believed that it was because the rich man's wife injured the wife of the giant wolf and attracted revenge.
Most of them chose to stay and continue their play, and some of the obviously frightened and insecure people said bluntly that they wanted to leave the island and return to the ship to spend the last two days.
As for the mystery of the island, it was Professor Charlie who got some god-like answers.
"This island has been around for at least 100 years. Charlie said, picking up a stone from the table and showing it to Sarah.
"We use isotope analysis of this stone, and it has been at least nearly 100 years since its formation, and if you count the error, the age of this island is at least more than 100 years.
I retested the latitude and longitude and found that there was a deviation of about one degree from the first picture of the island, and it was possible, I said maybe, the island should be moving. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that I made a measurement error. After all, the data is just too small.
Digging deep into the island, it was found that the composition of the soil sample changed sharply, and the only way to form such a soil layer was ......"
Sara couldn't understand the rest of the story, anyway, there was a camera behind her, so she had to go back and let someone else edit it.
At lunchtime, while eating the rice cooked by Bol, the head of the plane, Sara suddenly heard a complaint.
"Alas, why hasn't the ship come yet!"
