Chapter 40: Two More People Are Missing

"I'll also say that neither of them is a wolf." Tank blurted out.

Opus glanced up at Si Tank, who was stunned for a moment, showed a slightly embarrassed smile, and asked again, "Why do you say that?" Forehead...... I mean, where did you see that? ”

"The wolf pack is a very hierarchical social organization, and at the top of the society are the female and male wolves." Opus raised his chin slightly, motioning for several people to look at the two wolf corpses, "But these two are male wolves. ”

"Although wolves are not ranked according to their gender, they are ranked according to their physical strength and fighting ability." "But the head wolf is very strong in a pack, and it will not allow a male wolf to be about the same as it in terms of physical strength and fighting ability. ”

Opus seldom said so much in one breath, and he paused before he said, "This light-haired male wolf, I'm sure it's the one we killed yesterday, because when he was alive, his tail was higher than the other giant wolves. ”

"Is it possible that the other wolf is a lone wolf, who slipped over last night while it was on fire." Liang Wenruo asked.

"It's not." Opus denied it without hesitation, "The wolf you are talking about has clean and oily fur and a thin layer of fat on its body, which shows that it has eaten and lived quite well in the past period of time. The lone wolf wanders around, and it will not have such spirit. ”

When Si Moxue heard this, she thought of last night's attack, and her heart flashed: "So the wolf pack that attacked us yesterday was synthesized by two wolf packs?" No wonder there are so many giant wolves......"

"Yes, wolves are very intelligent animals, they know that 1+1 will be greater than 2, especially in a pinch." Opus lowered his gaze and glanced at Sim Moxue, and said lightly.

Si Tan touched his chin with blue stubble, and slowly spoke: "So...... What is it that forces two powerful wolves to the point where they have to work together to survive? ”

As soon as these words came out, a wave of fear swept through the hearts of several people - yes, the mutant wolf pack is already an existence that can run rampant, what is it that makes the two wolf packs have to choose to cooperate in order to survive.

Suddenly, a cold wind hit, and the cold penetrated deep into the bone marrow. Next to the noisy camp, several people seemed to have fallen into the ice cave of the harsh winter in an instant, and they were cold all over their bodies.

"Get out of here!"

Si Moxue was the first to speak, it had been half a night since their battle with the wolves, although the wind had been light at night these days, and the camp was not far from the human gathering area, there were few large mutant carnivores - this was the reason why they continued to stay here after the battle with the giant wolves last night.

But after a night, the smell of blood from the wolf corpse has drifted out, and the hunters lurking in the shadows will follow the blood at any time like sharks in the sea.

"Everyone hurry up, and in five minutes you'll be packing up and ready to leave!" Tank ran into the camp and shouted.

He clapped his hands in the ears of the team members who were cleaning up and shouted: "Hurry! Fast! Fast! Let's all move! Stuff things in! Don't pretend to be dead like you haven't eaten! ”

Under the soul-like urging of the tank, everyone's hands accelerated, and it took less than four minutes to pack up their things and prepare to go.

"Opus, where do you think we're going next?"

Perhaps it was Optus's battle last night and the explanation just now that left a deep impression on the tank, or the background behind him that made the tank jealous. After everyone had packed up, Stein approached Optus and asked him for his opinion on the rest of the trip.

Opus looked at him puzzled: "You are the team leader, what are you asking me for?" "It doesn't look like you want to meddle in anything.

Tank: "......"

You weren't like that just now, hey.

"Aren't I too confident, so I'll ask for your opinion." was directly rejected in front of everyone, and Si Tan squeezed out a distorted smile, which made Si Moxue feel embarrassed for him.

"I trust you, you decide." Opus said indifferently.

"Hiss......" Si Tan snorted and took a breath of cool air.

He was repeatedly frustrated in Opus, he considered himself not a good-tempered person, and if he hadn't, if he hadn't known Opus's background, he would have ...... long ago

Opus turned his head and said sharply to the team members behind him: "Hurry up for me, what is the procrastination!" ”

Then he remembered something, turned around and said to Si Moxue on the side: "You, go and carry a bag too, the team doesn't need waste." ”

But under Si Moxue's calm gaze at him, Si Tan remembered her sharp method of killing the giant wolf yesterday, and her voice involuntarily lowered, but soon raised again: "You can't be special!" ”

Si Moxue didn't speak, and silently put on the backpack she brought.

Then Si Tank found that in the entire team, he was the only one who did not have a backpack, and even Opus, who had a face of "don't bother me", was wearing a waist bag......

Tank: "......"

"Team leader, where are we going next?" Someone in the team asked.

Where to? There was a moment of confusion in the tank.

But then he simply waved his hand and pointed to the direction of the ruins of the city, that is, towards the upwind.

I don't know how far the smell of blood from the wolf corpse wafted out, so I simply left in the opposite direction, so as not to go halfway and collide with the other hunters who followed the smell of blood.

The ruins of the city were quite far away, about half a day's journey from the camp, diagonally away from the human gathering area where they had stayed yesterday.

Everyone walked more than half the way with their bags on their backs, and the dirt under their feet had already turned into sand, and they had to pull their feet out of the sand before each step, bringing up a cloud of dust.

It was already bright, but it was still gray, like glass that could not be cleaned, and the sunlight shone from behind the glass, scattering several times, and becoming dim and devoid of temperature.

"Look, there's something!"

Someone in the line shouted.

"Like, it's a hole?"

A person with better eyesight hesitated.

There was a boulder on the right side of the direction they were traveling, and there seemed to be a hole in the shadow cast by the boulder.

"Would you like to check it out?"

"Come on, who knows what's inside, let's hurry up and go far."

Stankan heard everyone's discussion, and pondered in his heart for a while: "Go and see." ”

He saw the hole for a while, and nothing unusual happened. Moreover, he led everyone to take a look at the cave from a distance, and even if there was danger, he could avoid it in time. Let's see, maybe you'll find a clue or something.

So Si Tan walked forward with a few people.

There are no creatures in the cave, not very deep, but only two or three meters. But the boulder blocked the light, and it was impossible to see what was in the cave.

Tank turned on the flashlight and shone it into the holeβ€”

At the point of the hole, all kinds of bones are overlapped, one layer after another, and I don't know how thick they are.

"You, go and smell it, and see what kind of hole it is." Stanley is just Newton.

Newton moved his nose: "It's a wolf hole, a wolf smell." ”

Hearing that it was the wolf's cave, the team was faintly in a commotion, and several trainee hunters had already taken a position to escape.

"It should have been abandoned, and the smell is very light."

Newton walked over to the cave opening, leaned over and sniffed, and came to a conclusion.

Only then did the team settle down.

"Oh!"

The cave had been abandoned for a while, and the sand was loose at the entrance of the cave, and Newton had just walked too close, and as soon as he lifted his foot, he would fall into the hole with the collapsed sand.

"Shhh

Newton sat down on the pile of bones, the bones didn't know how long, the bones were brittle, and Newton was broken all at once, and the exposed bone stubble pierced his skin.

"What kind of bone is this? Shhh ”

Newton stood up against the cave wall, patted off the debris on his body, and staggered with his feet on a pile of bones.

He looked up and shouted, "Is there anyone, which of you pulls me?" ”

Liang Wen's grinning face appeared at the entrance of the cave: "Yo, buddy, why didn't I see you fall into the cave for a while?" Is there something good in the cave that you can see? ”

"Don't be poor, pull me up quickly!"

Liang Wenruo raised his eyebrows and stretched out his hand to Newton.

Newton held Liang Wenruo's hand as he stepped on the cave wall and climbed up, the bones under his feet making a crunching sound.

"I almost didn't fall into a daze, so I almost had this pile of bones to cushion me." Newton grumbled as he crawled, "I don't know what kind of bone this is?" ”

Liang Wenruo glanced sideways and said, "Human bones." ”

"What!"

Newton was so shocked that he slipped and fell into the hole.

", pull me up."

This time, Newton didn't have time to shoot the soil, grabbed Liang Wenruo's hand and kicked and kicked it, and desperately crawled out of the hole.

Finally crawled out, he half-knelt on the ground and asked Liang Wenruo: "That bone, is it really human?" ”

Liang Wenruo was shaking the sand sticky on his body: "Although there are some other animals, most of them are human bones. ”

Speaking of which, he paused and added, "So you just fell into a pile of human bones." ”

Newton: "...... Dry. ”

He began to frantically slap his clothes.

Just when there was a commotion at the entrance of the cave, Si Moxue's cold voice passed through the crowd and fell into everyone's ears:

"Is there one person missing from the team?"
