Chapter 50: The Wolves Are Coming
As night fell, the atmosphere became a little oppressive and solemn.
The ordinary people in the town's fortified area began to return to their homes one after another, closing their doors and windows.
Bai Yang and the others, who came to support, had already made preparations and stood guard at the wall of the defense area.
An hour passed, and there was no movement.
Two hours, three hours... Until midnight, there was still nothing unusual.
"No way, I came here a few days ago." Wang Changqing was very puzzled on the side.
"Wait." Poplar gestured.
Even if they don't come tonight, there will always be a time to come again, and they will just wait here for the rabbit.
Poplar speculated that the reason why the wolves came down the mountain to attack the stronghold was probably because of food problems.
Wildlife is already scarce in the southern area, and those wild wolves have probably eaten all the nearby, and the next human stronghold is naturally their most suitable target.
More than 10,000 people gathered in the vulnerable defensive area, unable to go out and unable to resist, like a flock of sheep waiting to be hunted in a sheepfold.
So Poplar concluded that the wolf cubs would definitely come back.
In the blink of an eye, he stayed up for two hours in waiting, and the hour hand had already pointed to a quarter past two in the morning, and Wang Changqing, who had not rested for a few days, directly took a nap.
Poplar didn't mean to wake him up, this simple people's mayor had already done his best and did his best.
However, just as the people on the defensive line began to relax a little, there were suddenly howls around the already small defensive area.
As soon as you hear the voice, you know what it is.
"Here we are." Baiyang snorted lightly, and Wang Changqing, who was frightened, bounced up directly.
"Coming, coming, coming?" Wang Changqing panicked.
"Don't worry, we're here." Aspen comforts.
"Prepare for battle!"
The mutant team is waiting for them, and the knives, guns and clubs in their hands are also ready to move.
The original mutants in the town who were immortal were now much less frightened in their eyes, and they were obviously infected by the group of poplars.
Heavy gasps sounded from far and near, until finally everyone saw thirteen pairs of huge eyes glowing with a strange red light from a distance of dozens of meters.
"So much?" Wang Changqing was shocked, "And this time they didn't choose to disperse and surround them, is this to concentrate their forces on breaking through the gate?" ”
Poplar didn't answer, frowning and staring intently into the distance.
He could clearly see the impact of the dozen or so giant wolves on him, counting the length of their tails, each giant wolf was about 4-5 meters long, with strong limbs, extremely developed muscles, and two rows of fangs interlaced with each other, sharp and terrifying.
In their brains, there is an amethyst that is close to the size of a human brain, exuding abundant energy.
In terms of strength, each giant wolf was already close to the big snake that Poplar had slain a few days ago, not to mention that there were thirteen such things now eyeing him.
Poplar now understands that these wolf cubs are just using this place as a free granary, and with their strength, as long as they want to, this defensive area has no possibility of existing.
But today is different, it seems that the wolves also feel the threat brought to them by Poplar and his party, so they can only change their strategy and concentrate on destroying these uninvited guests first.
It's like the attitude of a wolf pack towards a sheepdog.
Thinking of this, Poplar also involuntarily felt a chill, and the mutated wolves became more cunning.
And according to previous reports, the number of wolves involved in each attack was less than 10, but now it seems that they must have been in the nest.
"All mutants, gather at the gate and prepare for battle!"
Poplar gave the command into the walkie-talkie.
After a few minutes, everyone was gathered in one place, waiting for the next command.
They were also shocked when they saw more than a dozen extremely shocking and ferocious beasts outside the gate, but they were not much afraid.
Bai Yang nodded with satisfaction, these people are the elites he selected overnight yesterday, and their strength is naturally a top one.
"Every two squads are responsible for keeping an eye on a giant wolf, and they must not be allowed to enter the defense zone for half a step, even if they can't be defeated, they will be held up to me."
"Each of them confirms their goals."
"Yes."
The crowd shouted in unison.
"And what about the rest?" Wei Dabao was a little curious.
"One of you, no problem, right?"
Naturally, this was said to the other three members of the Guardian.
"Of course I'm fine." Liu Yuting said confidently, "Just the two of them? ”
"It's time for you two to use your strength as meat shields." Poplar laughed.
"No problem, if that little wolf cub dares to mouth, I will break its teeth in the ninth master."
Wei Dabao also nodded and didn't speak again, but the battle intent in his eyes was already raging.
"There are 5 left, I'll deal with it." Poplar said lightly.
Although he was only slightly better than the big snake a few days ago, his strength did not stand still, but improved at an astonishing speed every day.
Therefore, this time it should be regarded as another all-out battle, so as to test the results of the past few days.
"Be careful." Liu Yuting instructed.
Poplar smiled and nodded, then rolled over and got off the already crumbling wall, and walked calmly towards the wolves opposite.
Seeing this, the others followed, and dozens of people turned over and fell in unison, keeping up with the pace of the poplars.
"Huh!" After Poplar stopped, the crowd behind him also stopped their steps neatly, with knives, guns and sticks in their hands, all of them were a little warlike.
"Wolf cubs, you don't have a good dinner today, but I haven't tasted what wolf meat tastes like."
"It's very fragrant, tsk, that smell." The Ninth Master cooperated extremely tacitly on the side.
Poplar didn't know if they could understand human speech, and with his own usual personality, he stepped forward to mock.
I don't know if it worked, but the wolves began to distance themselves at this time and surrounded the poplars.
This is a kind of momentum oppression, and it can be regarded as a kind of combat strategy.
Poplar was a little surprised, this wolf pack was not simple, as if it had been trained to a certain extent.
The wolves approached slowly, unhurried or impatient, as if they were going to crush the man before the battle.
The intelligence of the mutated creatures has also improved a lot, just like the rat king with giant spines on his back, I don't know whether it was intentional or not, and even used the mutant's head for psychological tactics.
Seeing this situation, Poplar knew that he was bound to break the situation in front of him.
"I'll strike first, and then you each set your sights on the target and get on when you have the opportunity."
After Bai Yang finished speaking, without waiting for everyone to respond, his body had disappeared in place in an instant, appearing a few meters away.
The wolves that were surrounded immediately reacted, and their attention was focused on the rapidly moving figure.
"Whew!" Two or three giant wolves took the lead and couldn't bear it anymore and pounced on the poplars.
The speed soared, and the soles of Poplar's feet dodged the attacks of several giant wolves like the wind, and then rushed towards the other giant wolves.
He wants to disturb the encirclement of the wolves.
"Whew! Oh! Several angry wolf roars were heard one after another, and the wolves finally couldn't stand the provocative posture of the poplars, and attacked him faster or slower.
"Shoot!" Liu Yuting saw the opportunity, rushed forward and stopped one of the giant wolves in front of her, and the others also shot in unison, blocking the giant wolf pounced on the poplar.
Suddenly, a big battle broke out, and a fierce battle between the crowd and the wolves broke out, which made the blood of the people in the defense area boil.
This is the real sense of the battle, before they were just fleeing for their lives under the fangs and claws of the giant wolf.
At this point, the wolves were completely divided, and the pace of the battle was moving in the direction that Poplar had expected.
"Bang bang." The sound of collision sounded one after another, and Poplar alone took over the attack of the five giant wolves.
"Come on, little wolf cubs." Poplar grinned, turned and ran.
Naturally, he didn't want to escape, but just wanted to pull the battlefield away as much as possible, so that the wolves could not support each other.
After running a distance of dozens of meters, Bai Yang turned around and looked at the several fierce beasts rushing towards him, licked his lips and pulled out two snowy Tang knives behind his back, and muttered to himself:
"Then come and try my great sword!"
