Chapter 59: Encountering Wolves

Zhang Xiaowu summoned Han Qi, the head of the guard on duty, Han Qi probably talked about the process, the new prisoners of war took advantage of the unpreparedness of the sergeants, and worked together to strangle the soldiers who led the way, and then the prisoners of war carried the corpse shield of the servants, and several sergeants stepped on each other's shoulders and turned out a high wall.

"How many escaped?"

"Four, four escaped."

Zhang Xiaowu nodded, and Xiao Kai and Xiao Kai carried two bows and four pots of arrows and climbed over the wall, these wounded prisoners did not go far, they walked from the battlefield to Mucheng, their physical strength was almost exhausted, this may be their last chance to resist.

Zhang Xiaowu squatted on the ground and carefully observed the footprints, Xiao Kai was alert with an arrow, and asked, "My lord, do you want to find a few more people?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "The only people who can fight in the epidemic village are you, me, Zhao Suo and Chen Guanxi, forget about the others." ”

Xiao Kai said: "That Zhao Suo is good, and he is not afraid." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "This person has murderous intentions and is too heavy, and I am afraid that he will be a butcher in the future." ”

Xiao Kai glanced at him, and said in his heart that the people killed by others are probably less than a fraction of your adult, and you actually say that people are butchers?

"This way, let's go." The two chased after them and found the scattered traces of four prisoners of war three miles away from the village.

"These four probably knew that they were all going to die together, so two of them continued to face north, one to the east and one to the west." Zhang Xiaowu stared at the footprints, analyzed it in his heart for a while, and then turned around and said, "Walking west is a desert, so don't worry about this person for the time being, going east is a grassland, which is not conducive to hiding, but it is necessary to continue to pass through a Gobi desert to the north...... Xiao Kai, you chase east, I chase north, don't worry about the guy who went into the desert by himself. ”

Xiao Kai hurriedly said: "My lord, you chase east, I chase north!" ”

"You're worried that I'll be victimized by those two?" Zhang Xiaowu said arrogantly, "They didn't have time to drink water along the way, and their physical strength was exhausted, so they were not a threat." And my archery skills are far inferior to my martial arts, and with your martial arts, twenty of them can't beat me. Everyone knows that I am a marksman captain, but they don't know that my archery skills are far inferior to martial arts. He sorted out the blades and weapons on his body, especially the bow and arrow, and suggested: "Xiao Kai, although I chase the two of them, I may not be slower than you." ”

Xiao Kai was overjoyed and said: "Otherwise, let's make a bet, whoever kills the fugitive first and then goes to find another person, if I go to you first, the adults need to invite me to Lichun Tower in the city to drink flower wine." If you win, I invite you to drink flower wine in Lichun Building? ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Do you have an old face in Lichun Building?" ”

Xiao Kai blushed and asked, "Do you dare to compare?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu was full of energy, patted Xiao Kai's shoulder, and said excitedly: "It's better than it, I want to see what your old looks like." ”

Xiao Kai chased east with a bow and arrow, Zhang Xiaowu continued to walk north, the speed of his pursuit was not fast, chasing prey in the Gobi tidal flats, and more importantly, patience, and the last thing he lacked was patience.

The sky is getting darker, and although the days are hot in summer, the temperature at night is slightly lower, especially in the Gobi Desert, which is colder because of the wind and sand.

Breathing in the slightly cool air, Zhang Xiaowu's mind became more sober, and he felt that the drop in temperature was even more unfavorable to the fugitives. He wore a single coat of leather armor and a cloak, while the fugitives wore only a single coat, which should have been even more difficult for them on such a cold night.

Soon after, it was completely dark, the crescent moon rose, and the bright starlight shone on the earth, making the ground even brighter.

The night wind blew and rolled up the sand and gravel on the ground, and the sand and gravel rolled around on the ground making a rustling sound, as if someone was walking.

Zhang Xiaowu squinted his eyes, wrapped himself tightly with his cloak, lowered his head and continued to walk with the wind, but his walking speed was slower. The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and it hurt like a knife on his face, and he had to find a taller stone to avoid the cold sand.

The wind grew louder, rustling into whining, like a ghost crying wolf.

Zhang Xiaowu often heard this sound when he was in Tucheng, and at that time, every night guarding the city, he would squat in the corner, listen to the wind, look at the starry sky, and recall the experience before the crossing. He even thinks that everything that used to be a great pleasure, including taking a bath every night, now he has to take a bath only once every five or six days. If it weren't for the fact that he dug a large bathtub, the soldiers of the plague village would not have bathed once in half a year, and the captives had not bathed since they were captured.

"How nice modern life is!" Zhang Xiaowu said silently in his heart, "Scolding the street on the Internet, watching movies, chasing dramas, and taking the bus, it's not right!" At that time, I had a car, the Great Wall H5, and I thought that I could go on a trip at any time, but this broken car only went back to my hometown at the farthest, and was despised by others, especially those cousins, cousins, cousins, and cousins, and said that if I couldn't afford to buy a car, they could lend me money......"

In the midst of the broken thoughts, Zhang Xiaowu was a little sleepy, his body curled up as much as possible to reduce the heat carried away by the wind, and fell asleep in a daze.

"Whew......"

A wolf howl woke up Zhang Xiaowu in his dream, he quickly looked out with a bow, but he couldn't see any creatures, except for the sound of the wind, the sound of wolf howling and biting.

"Oops, wolves, grass wolves! It's the Grass Wolf of Saibei! Zhang Xiaowu was shocked.

The terrible thing about the grass wolf is not its individual attack power, in fact, the size of the grass wolf is not big, even inferior to the gray wolf in the mountains of the Central Plains, and the large domestic dog is more than the size of the grass wolf. But the terrible thing about the grass wolf is that it does not act alone, the grass wolf acts in a wolf pack, and there are about thirty grass wolves in a group. What's even worse is that when the grass wolf pack encounters a strong enemy, it will also call for support from other wolf packs, and other wolf packs will also rush to the rescue.

The grass wolf has a strong sense of revenge, and the hunters on the grassland will kill the grass wolf unless they are forced to do so, and once they kill the wolf, they will be exterminated, otherwise if one is released, the wolves will retaliate day and night until death. There are only two ways to stop the wolves' revenge, either the whole family of the wolf killer is killed, or the wolves are exterminated. If the wolf pack still has a baby wolf cub hiding around, they will continue to retaliate when the wolf cubs grow up in a few years.

Shao Zifu once said that he would rather mess with a tiger than touch a grass wolf.

Grass wolves are very smart, and they don't want to provoke humans, after all, in the huge Saibei Wasteland, humans are the smartest and most cunning of all animals. But if they encounter a lonely person, they will never let it go, and Zhang Xiaowu is now a lonely person.

Zhang Xiaowu is not a superman with an immortal body, he is only able to react extremely quickly between life and death, but he can't really let himself be between life and death all the time. The feeling of controlling time was certainly refreshing for a while, but afterwards, every time I was either exhausted and unconscious, or I was so uncomfortable that I almost wanted to vomit. He is not a masochist, he likes this explosive power between life and death, he is just an ordinary person, so he can only pray that the grass wolf will not find himself in this kind of wind and sand day. If the grass wolf knew that he was alone, he would definitely not let go of such a lump of meat.

Fortunately, the grass wolf at this time seemed to be entangled by something, and he was not found here for the time being.

Zhang Xiaowu naturally couldn't let go of this opportunity to escape, he quickly got up and ran in the opposite direction of the howling wolves against the wind.
