Chapter 155: Wolves
When he first heard Li Zhizhi call "It's the ...... of the sea people", Zhang Ming instinctively reacted and rushed out of the stone nest, and as soon as his hand was pressed on the snow, he heard that "there is the smell of sea people spies", Fang breathed a sigh of relief, propped up from the ground and turned back: "You are so shocked, you can make people sick!" ”
Li Zhizhi looked at Zhang Ming's overreaction and rolled with laughter.
Zhang Ming thought that his behavior was indeed funny, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "It shows that I am highly vigilant and responsive...... Don't laugh, be serious, where does the smell of sea people spy smell? ”
Li Zhizhi laughed again, then lay on the ground, sniffed carefully, and told Zhang Ming: "It's not here, it's the seaman spy who stayed in it and left a smell." ”
Li Zhizhi is sensitive to the smell of sea spy. In Sousse, Tunisia, she smelled the black classmate Botu who had high-fived Zhang Ming in an abandoned seaman factory, even though Botu might have been away for at least a few weeks.
"Can you tell when it was stayed?"
"This is not good, the smell remains, and there are many factors for the change of intensity, so I have time to study and study...... By the way, if you have your graduation thesis in mind, let's write about the influence of environmental factors on smell......"
"Okay sister, can you think about this paper while you sleep alone? Let's take a look at the smell. "Li Zhizhi can't be hard, Zhang Ming had to beg her patiently.
Li Zhizhi sniffed on his stomach for a while, then walked out of the stone nest to the outside and sniffed in a circle, and finally said regretfully: "The smell is limited to the inside of the stone pile, it belongs to a sea spy, as for which direction to go out of the stone pile, I don't know." ”
"Okay, that's already a big deal. At the very least, it proves that the seamen have mining sites in this area...... Wait, why is there only a stone nest that can live in one person, and it leaves behind the smell of a sea spy? …… Doesn't every mining area need a person who has the process of making 'Wei' installed in his head? Like that Aso in Siberia, Aso management? Yes, this man is a manager, and unlike this group of students, he came alone. ”
"He passed by here, indicating that he was going to the mining site. Then the mining point must not be too far away. Li Zhizhi reasoned with Zhang Ming.
With this discovery, the two settled down.
Although the "needle" is not easy to fish, since it is confirmed that it is in this area, it will not be empty.
They agreed to go west tomorrow, where the mountains are relatively dense, and in their understanding: there are many minerals in the mountainous area, at least more concentrated, which is conducive to mining.
Li Zhizhi originally felt less, and two hours of sleep a day was enough, but since Zhang Ming reached the seventh stage, he only needed more than an hour of sleep. So the two spent almost the whole night in practice. While one person sleeps, the other person practices the style with the guard.
There are ferocious steppe wolves on the plateau, and you can't do it if you don't guard against them.
On the way west, the mountains grew larger and denser. After a whole day of walking, the smell of the Sea Man spy was not found again. They planned to go two or three hundred kilometers to the west, then cross the Mongolian-Russian border and then go south, making a circle to the east.
As the sun approached the summit of the western hill, they walked less than five kilometers from the border.
Just as he was about to hunt a prey to fill his stomach, Li Zhizhi happily pointed to the distance and said, "Cao Cao Cao is here, and he wants to eat mutton and mutton." ”
Backlight, the sunset is a little dazzling, and there is indeed a wild thing standing there eight or nine hundred meters away from the point that Li Zhizhi is referring to: it is not big, and its body hair is yellowish, much like a grassland yellow sheep.
Walking on the plateau these days, I have seen a lot of yellow sheep. Li Zhizhi made a fuss about beating a yellow sheep to roast and eat two days ago, Zhang Ming said that it was best not to make a fire, in case the mining point was nearby, which caused the vigilance of the sea spies, and it was not conducive to the search, so he vetoed it.
Although the two of them need very little food now, they have not yet reached the point of not eating or drinking. In particular, traveling more than 200 kilometers a day, the physical exertion is great, and the food required is not double or double compared with usual. So the food that Li Zhizhi bought in Amsterdam was basically exhausted.
It's not a big problem for the sea people to be vigilant, not to mention whether there are them nearby, it's important to replenish physical strength.
Zhang Ming agreed this time.
Li Zhizhi almost jumped up happily, afraid of scaring away the yellow sheep a few hundred meters away to control his emotions, and said to Zhang Ming in a low voice:
"I found out that you are such a good brother!" He held out his thumb as he spoke, "Great!" Don't worry, I'll bake it in a while, and I'll prepare ten of them. ”
Zhang Ming looked at her childlike appearance and laughed, grinning and said, "How can I have another discovery?" I found that as long as you talk about eating, you will immediately be in high spirits......" said and increased the amount with his hand, to see if the yellow sheep was still there, not to talk for a long time, and I had to find it again.
Here's the problem: it's not a yellow sheep standing there, it's a steppe wolf.
The steppe wolf is brownish-yellow, and the yellow sheep is brownish-yellow, although the body shape and brain shape are more different. Although Li Zhizhi's eyesight is much stronger than ordinary people, it is already very good to be able to see an animal standing still nearly a thousand meters away, which makes it too difficult for her to distinguish whether it is a wolf or a sheep, especially the color is similar.
Zhang Ming used the special function to look at the past, just like looking at the things in front of him. There is no need to distinguish whether it is a wolf or a sheep, it is clearly in front of you.
He told Li Zhizhi in a calm tone of narrative: "Tell me something, sister, that thing is not a yellow sheep." It is a steppe wolf endemic to Mongolia. ”
It is not difficult to find a yellow sheep on the Ulan Gumu Plateau, but it is a big deal to go forward, and when to meet and when to eat.
Just as they were about to continue westward, the steppe wolf that Li Zhizhi regarded as a yellow sheep raised his head and howled at the sky: "Whoa~~"
The voice is long and loud.
Li Zhizhi smelled the fishy smell coming from the air.
The two of them didn't have much knowledge of wolves, let alone any experience. Li Zhizhi said in front of Zhang Ming that maybe the wolf was as hungry as them and had a bad temper, so he used his howl to express his uncomfortable emotions.
The wolf was indeed hungry, but instead of howling to express his discomfort, he summoned his accomplices to come and hunt.
Not only did he smell the fresh meat, but then he saw two two-legged men.
The steppe wolf is a ferocious beast and is very strategic in group combat. They showed a particularly clever strategy when hunting yellow sheep: not to round up, but to drive. Chase a group of yellow sheep to the end of the road, chase until exhausted and have no way to escape, and then eat whichever one you want.
In winter, most of the yellow sheep hide in the difficult mountain rocks, and the steppe wolf is not very good at rock climbing, and the yellow sheep is not easy to catch, so they have to catch what to eat. This sporadic prey is difficult to feed on the bellies of their herds, so they have to work harder, foraging from morning to night. That's why I don't have enough to eat.
Two men covered in fresh flesh appeared in front of the steppe wolf today, and it was only natural that he would gather his men and horses to feast on them.
Just as Zhang Ming and Li Zhizhi were watching strangely, dozens of steppe wolves rushed out of the wilderness.
The wolves did not gather around the howling wolves, but scattered a few in the east and a few in the west, their eyes blazing, and they looked at Zhang Ming and Li Zhizhi unabashedly.
No matter how stupid Zhang Ming and Li Zhizhi are, they can see it at this moment: the wolf who mistakenly thought that the yellow sheep was venting his emotions and was calling his accomplices to hunt them!
Wolves are often more terrifying than other beasts—psychologically.
When a child cries and is disobedient, and adults want to scare him, they generally don't say that the lion is coming, or the tiger is coming, but most of them say "make trouble again, the wolf is coming!" "Don't go quickly, the wolf is chasing after you!"
Therefore, the psychological shadow of wolves on people is very large.
At this moment, even Zhang Ming, who was in the seventh section, couldn't help but tremble with his legs standing on the snow.
Li Zhizhi couldn't stand up and was about to fall, his hands tightly hugged one of Zhang Ming's arms, and his voice was undisguised crying: "What should I do, brother?" So many wolf ......"
Li Zhizhi reminded Zhang Ming loudly: He is a man, and he needs to make his own ideas in this situation.
The wolf that can be seen in front of him is not thirty but also more than twenty, if it is just him, there is no problem to escape, the speed of four kilometers a minute can continue to run for an hour, the speed of the wolf is at most three kilometers a minute, and because of the sweat glands of the fur, if you continue to run at the fastest speed for ten minutes without resting, the body temperature will come up, and you can heat yourself to death.
But there is also a Li Zhizhi!
She can't outrun the wolf!
Zhang Ming turned his head to see that there was snow on the bare mound, and the idea of moving some stones to put her into a stone nest like the one last night was unrealistic...... What to do?
No way. The only way was to carry her on your back and run away.
This is undoubtedly much slower. But, it can only be like this.
The wolves have already begun to move.
One of the wolves was a dark brown wolf nearly two meters long, which seemed to be the head wolf, and it howled a few times, and the wolves quickly pounced on them from the east, west, and center, and rushed out of 100 meters in a flash.
Zhang Ming shouted: "Hold tight!" He picked up Li Zhizhi sideways, turned around and ran.
The wolves traveled lightly, Zhang Ming was carrying dozens of pounds of weight, and the speed of the wolves was slightly faster by half a beat.
Zhang Ming saw that it was not a problem to run like this, so he decided to kill a few batches of files first to frustrate their sharpness. He stopped, turned around, and used a sharp attack on a wolf running in front of him.
The wolf suddenly fell to the ground and died without any suspense, and the inertia caused it to roll on the snow for more than ten meters before stopping.
Killing a horse is successful, but the consequences are very bad: wolves are not like people, they are not so fearful, and they don't think about it, people don't throw anything, and they don't associate the death of a fallen wolf with a stealth attack.
As a result, the other wolves still pounced at their speed.
And Zhang Ming's pause greatly shortened the distance between him and the wolves, and the wolf in front was only thirty or forty meters away from him.
The attack is very powerful, but there are too many wolves. Advantageous attacks can't be attacked in groups, and killing one or two horses won't help at all.
The situation is critical!
