Chapter 12: The Wolf's Den
Professor Liu took us on a walk along the endless Gobi Desert, full of gravel and low plants. At first it was a long grass, but then it became shorter and shorter, almost clinging to the ground, and after about an hour's walk there was no grass at all, except for the sand and gravel. From seven o'clock in the morning to twelve o'clock, everyone was tired, Professor Liu motioned for us to rest, and I sat on the ground and ate compressed biscuits.
"Everyone, pay attention, there are still two days away from our last scientific research station, you must save water and dry food, if anyone is injured or has physical problems, tell me in time, the further west you go, the higher the altitude, if any of you have altitude sickness, tell me immediately, otherwise you will die." After Professor Liu finished speaking, he walked over to us and looked at them one by one.
"Wang...... Prosperous......! The three police dogs at the front of the team suddenly barked wildly.
"Be careful, if any animals are coming, everyone quickly form a circle and take out your tools, quick!" After Professor Liu finished speaking, the dog barked even more fiercely.
A few of us found a slightly higher position and formed a circle to prepare for the danger, when five or six gray shadows came from a distance, and those shadows jumped up and down in front of us.
"Wolves! Be careful, everyone! After Professor Liu finished speaking, these big bad wolves ran over, and a few of them circled around us from a distance, and our big police dogs barked wildly, and they hesitated to tease the circle.
"Don't move anyone!" After Professor Liu finished speaking, our clothes were almost soaked with sweat, and I clutched the shovel in my hand tightly, ready to fight to the death with the wolf.
These wolves seemed to be really hungry, and there were five big bad wolves in total, and they were lying on the ground from afar, even watching us, and not rushing over. Professor Liu took a shotgun and took a look, but it was not within range at all.
"Professor Liu, what now? They don't come, they follow us from afar, and if we are not careful, they will find a flaw. "I was really afraid of being eaten by wolves, so I hurriedly went to find Professor Liu.
"It's okay, they are observing our strength, we also have three big wolf dogs, these three big wolf dogs are also very strong, it is difficult for them to defeat us, don't panic if we have more than ten people. It's just that we have to sleep at night, you're right, we should get rid of them now, otherwise maybe they'll find more companions at night," Professor Liu finished and walked into the wolf pack with two senior seniors.
"Bang! …… Bang! ......" Professor Liu's double-barreled shotgun fired two shots in succession, hitting the wolves.
The wolves were so frightened by the sudden sound that they quickly stood up at once, and retreated unhurriedly, led by a huge gray wolf that didn't move and looked at us while licking their tongues.
"Oh no, it's a wolf, we're already in the wolf's territory! Let's walk slowly in a circle, and we must get out of here! After Professor Liu finished speaking, he took the gun and fired two more shots.
The wolves heard the gunshots and retreated a few meters, and after a few minutes they came up again, getting closer and closer to us, and now only a dozen meters away. My hair stood on end.
"Nie Yu, what now? Try your "Corpse Magic" and recruit a few ghosts to help? Zhao Yuer hurriedly turned around and said to me.
"No, there is a ban on the "Imperial Corpse Divine Technique", women can't be within a hundred meters of me, if there is a woman, my spell won't work!" I hurriedly flipped through the "Corpse Divine Technique" to see if there was any other way, and I didn't find any bird spells that could deal with those hungry wolves, all of them were against ghosts.
At this time, the sky suddenly changed drastically, and the weather, which had been cloudless just a moment ago, was now windy. The black clouds covered our heads, and hail fell in the sky, and the hail the size of soybeans crackled in our faces. The sky was getting darker and darker, and at twelve o'clock at noon, I couldn't see the object more than ten meters away.
"Oh no, it looks like a sandstorm is coming, let's go and hide!" Professor Liu took us to find a small depression against the wind, and more than a dozen people hid inside. At this time, the wolves slowly followed, and the police dogs barked even harder. The wolves saw the police dog and stepped back slightly.
At this time, the big wolf at the head suddenly showed its sharp fangs, it opened its big mouth, stretched its neck, and let out a roar: "Whoa...... Woo......! Oh...... Woo......! "The wolves in the pack heard its roar and bared its fangs, and approached us step by step.
"Don't act rashly, they are really going to attack, we are close to fighting, we have guns, don't be afraid!" As soon as Professor Liu finished speaking, a wolf rushed over, and it pounced on Zhao Yu'er, the thinnest figure, and I hurriedly used a shovel to shoot, but before I could raise the shovel with "Bang!" Bang! With two loud bangs, it fell. It was Professor Liu who hit the wolf in the head, and the big wolf's body twitched a few times and died.
"Whew...... Woo......! Oh...... Woo......! The head wolf began to roar again, and a low wolf roar echoed in the empty Gobi Desert.
"Whew...... Woo......! Oh...... Woo......! There was also a wolf roar in the distance, and it was not one, several wolf roars came ......and went.
"It's over! We're in the wolf's den, what should we do Professor Liu, I don't want to feed the wolf! Wu Shirong was so frightened that he cried, he sat on the ground and couldn't stand up.
"Stand up, don't sit still, it's a big deal that we fight with them, count us unlucky, like a man, Wu Shirong!" Professor Liu grabbed Wu Shirong's shoulders and tried to pull him up, but Wu Shirong couldn't stand up, he was now spread on the ground and didn't move.
Within a few minutes, a dozen more wolves came, and at this time the wolves launched a general attack. The head wolf and the dozen wolves began to circle around us, and they ran faster and faster, getting closer and closer to us.
"Shoot, shoot!" Professor Liu gave the order to attack, and seven or eight guns were fired at the same time.
"Bang! Bang! "Several wolves were killed on the spot as the shots rang out, but they continued to shrink the encirclement and were only five meters away from us.
"Bang! Bang! The guns in the hands of the senior team members and Professor Liu's guns kept shooting, but the wolves did not flinch, they must be hungry.
At this time, the two wolves jumped up like crazy, and they pounced on Zhao Yu'er. The three police dogs saw it and hurriedly pounced, the three big dogs and the two wolves opened each other's big mouths and frantically bit together, Professor Liu took the gun and wanted to kill the wolf, but the police dog and the wolf twisted into a ball, there was no way to aim, we could only use the shovel in our hands to attack the wolf's head.
"Die!" I picked up the shovel and hit a wolf in the head, and it was stunned and ducked, and at that moment, the wolfdog bit its neck and pressed it to the ground, and then another wolfdog came and tore its neck, and in a minute the wolf was still. Another wolf that jumped over was killed by a senior shotgun.
"Whew...... Woo......! Oh...... Woo......! Then the wolf continued to howl again.
Several of us were already nervous, and now our defenses were almost crumbling, and although the attack of the two wolves just now did not cause any damage, they seemed to be getting more and more emboldened. At this time, the wolves around us gathered more and more, and I counted more than fifty of them, and they slowly narrowed the encirclement, waiting for their eyes to lick their tongues, and they were about to pounce on .......
"Click! …… Boom! …… Boom! Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the sky, and a bolt of lightning struck the giant wolf, which was standing too high to attract a thunderbolt attack.
The wolf died, and the thunder and lightning in the sky cleaved the ground again and again. The wolves scattered and fled as if they had lost their souls, without even looking at us.
"Let's hide, it's a storm, hide now!" As the thunder grew louder, the hail fell on our faces and bodies. Professor Liu took us to hide in a recessed depression.
"Quick, take out the rope, each of us must wrap a rope around our waists, and the ropes are all connected together, don't be ashamed, use the rope quickly!" Professor Liu took out the rope against a strong wind of about a dozen levels and tied it up on our bodies with difficulty.
