Chapter 160: The Light Before Dawn (Part II)
Everyone's mood seemed low and nervous at this moment, after all, when encountering such a thing, even an old bird with rich experience in wilderness survival would be afraid.
More than a thousand rotten wolves, such a rotten wolf pack is not to mention the nine of them, even if there are ten or nine people like them combined, they can't do such a huge number of rotten wolf packs in the front, Lintas knows very well that if he wants to support the arrival of support from the base, he relies on hard work. Eventually, they will die.
His face was unprecedentedly solemn, his gaze swept over everyone, and he said in a deep voice: "Guys, our luck is really bad, you have also seen it, we have to fight hard next, whether we can fight until dawn or not, it depends on our concerted efforts, it will be a fierce battle." ”
After Lintas finished speaking, someone began to report the weapons and ammunition: "Captain, all our bullets add up to about 1,100 rounds, and the food and water supply can last for ten days. ”
Listening to this report, Lintas's mood became even heavier, and then he sneered and said: "This kind of ammunition is enough, Gesang, your next task is to find the head wolf among them, such a huge wolf pack, the head wolf is definitely beyond the strength of the first order, otherwise it is impossible to have such a strange scene in front of you, you find it, do your best to see if you can kill it, as long as you kill the rotten wolf king, no matter how many of these rotten wolves are, the threat to us will be greatly reduced." ”
Gesang nodded heavily, and then began to set up a sniper rifle and began to search for the existence of the Rotten Wolf King in the dense pack of rotten wolves.
No one dared to take it lightly at this time, and the two soldiers with machine guns in the team directly found the best firing point and formed a small crossfire, even if the rotten wolves began to charge, it was impossible to do it in a short time under these two machine guns alone.
After everyone took their seats, everyone's mood was apprehensive and with the excitement before the battle, and they aimed their guns at the rotten wolves in front of them.
The number of "roaring ......" has exceeded fifteen hundred, and the rotten wolf pack stood neatly in the distance like a strict army, thousands of scarlet eyes stared at Lintas and the others with a strong bloodthirsty meaning, and a minute later, a loud howl suddenly sounded in the rotten wolf pack.
The sound sounded very different from the howl of a normal rotting wolf, and if no one saw it, they would think that it was the roar of a lion or a tiger, and it was so loud that it was not like words. As soon as this howl sounded, all the rotting wolves immediately became a little excited, and their limbs moved back and forth in a short distance, looking a little impatient, giving people the feeling of wanting to rush directly.
"Gesang, do you hear that? That's the howl of the Rotten Wolf King! Find it! The faces of the nine people in the cave changed slightly, and Lintas immediately shouted in a deep voice.
Gesang's face immediately became solemn and serious, and his eyes scanned back and forth among the rotten wolves with an extremely focused light through the precise scope.
After five minutes, Gesang's face showed a look of regret, and he said bitterly: "There are too many wolves, so you can't find them at all." ”
"Roar...... The howl ...... sounded again, but this time the howl was different from the previous one, it was actually very rhythmic, one high and one low, like some kind of command language.
"Damn it!" Lintath's pupils shrank slightly, and then in his pupils, the rotting wolves a few hundred meters away finally moved.
With an extremely ferocious light in their eyes, after the howl of the mysterious Rotten Wolf King fell, they began to launch the first round of charges, they roared and screamed, and in the first round of attacks, at least hundreds of rotten wolves rushed towards the cave where Lintas and the others were hiding.
Their speed was astonishingly sixty miles, and at a distance of five hundred meters, they could undoubtedly rush in front of them in a matter of moments.
"Hit!" Lintas also gave a roaring command at this moment.
......The sound of the machine gun roared angrily after the voice of Lintas fell, and the bullets mixed with the breath of death rushed towards the hundreds of rotten wolves, rushing to the heads of the dozen or so rotten wolves at the front, and then fell, but the rotten wolves behind did not pause at all, and rushed directly.
However, it is undoubtedly impossible for dozens of rotten wolves to rush through the dense ammunition fire intersection in the middle of 500 meters, and such a charge is tantamount to suicide. Hundreds of strong rotting wolves were only close enough to rush three meters away from the entrance of the cave before being killed one by one by a dense rain of bullets.
And the price of killing these rotten wolves is to consume one-tenth of the ammunition of the entire team.
"Come on, you sons of bitch!" A machine gunner with red eyes, obviously killed in the short battle just now, he looked extremely excited, and the muzzle of the gun was firmly aimed at the rotten wolves in front of him, and said viciously.
It's just that he was a little disappointed that after the first round of charges, the rotten wolves did not appear in the next round of charges, and many rotten wolves were still staring fiercely at the cave not far away, looking no different from the ordinary alien bodies guarding their own territory to deal with the enemy's invasion, the only difference is that what they are showing at the moment is too amazing, they are like an army, they will not launch the slightest attack when they don't hear the order, this is manifested in the alien body, It's just incredible.
"Roaring ......" Finally, in the heavy mood of the team and others, the roar of the wolves came out again. And after the roar fell, Lintas and the others immediately became extremely focused again, and they all made preparations for battle.
It's just that to their surprise, after that howl sounded, there was no attack in the rotten wolf pack, on the contrary, there was a commotion in the rotten wolf pack, and then there was movement in the next moment, more than a thousand rotten wolves began to move, not in the direction of Lintas and others, but in retreating towards the rear, it seemed that the formation was still neat, and soon retreated to a distance of a thousand meters, and then scattered in all directions, leaving only hundreds of rotten wolves concentrated in a small area to stare at Lintas and others.
"Damn, is this still the rotten wolf I know? This is simply an army of rotten wolves! Obviously, they know that hard work will cause them to suffer a lot of casualties, and directly adopt the method of siege, do they want to trap us here? Damn it! Gesang slammed his fist to the ground and scolded viciously.
Hearing this, Lintas laughed and said, "Isn't this what we wanted?" I don't bother to pay attention to what happens to them, if they do charge head-on, that's what I'm worried about, and now that they use this siege method, it's the best, and when the rescue from the base arrives, their time of death will come. ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and their faces showed joy. Lintas had a point, and the moment greatly eased their tension under the shadow of death.
Lintas looked out of the cave again, and through the telescope, he could clearly see hundreds of rotting wolves cruising back and forth a few hundred meters away, their saliva dripping onto the valley's scorching rocks, evaporating white smoke. However, although they were hungry, they all stayed five hundred meters away from the entrance of the cave, just staring in the direction of Lintas and the others, as if defending Lintas and them from escaping.
Lintas knew that the potential for nearly two thousand rotting wolves in the valley had made it impossible for the team to break out directly. Now they can only stay here and wait for rescue, if they are out of the shelter of the cave, the fast and agile rotten wolves can only be surrounded on all sides, and a single charge can tear the entire team to pieces.
Lintas took a deep breath, then retreated into the cave, sat down against the cave wall, swept his gaze over everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Okay guys, it seems that those ghosts are really preparing to trap us here, although this result is what we need, but we can't prevent them from suddenly attacking, we must now save our peak state for the battle that may come suddenly." From now on, the entrance to the cave must be guarded by two people, changing shifts every two hours. Gesang and Phyllis, you two start first, and the others will rest, and report as soon as there is a situation. We can only hope that our luck is good enough that reinforcements from the base will find us. ”
Hearing this, except for the two people standing guard, the others sat down against the cave wall, closed their eyes and pretended to sleep, according to what Lintas said, they must now save their physical strength, no one knows when the battle will come, let alone when death will come, and if they save their physical strength, their chances of survival will increase by one point.
Waiting until the sun went down, the rotting wolves never made a charge again, as if everything was going according to Lintas's expectations. In this way, the sun soon sets, and the night begins to fall.
The wilderness of the night is the most dangerous, this is the most famous aphorism of the Age of the Gun God, and it is also known to all.
Lintas closed his eyes, but he couldn't sleep, he thought about everything that happened today in his heart, and finally the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, the mysterious and unseen Rotten Wolf King was able to make such a huge group of rotten wolf packs so stable, proving that the wisdom possessed by the Rotten Wolf King was not worse than that of humans, but he could think of delaying time and waiting for support, didn't the Rotten Wolf King not think of it?
Thinking of this, he opened his eyes suddenly! At this time, it was already about two o'clock in the morning. This time period is the most tired and lax time for human beings, and it is also the best time for action!
A hint of unease welled up in Lintas's heart, and then the soldier standing guard let out a sudden exclamation. "Captain, there's a situation, oh hell, what did I see......"
The voice with a hint of panic immediately woke everyone up, and Lintas immediately rushed to the mouth of the cave with a lunge and looked intently with a telescope.
The moonlight shining through the moon illuminated the front as if it were day, and following the direction of the soldier's finger, Lintas saw a scene that made him creepy.
Under the moonlight, five hundred meters ahead, once again occupied by dense rotten wolves, the number has reached two thousand, in the middle of these two thousand rotten wolves, there is a large blank area, in the pupils of Lintas, you can see a rotten wolf looking up at the moonlight, but did not howl, although there are five hundred meters, but under the telescope, Lintas can even see the pious color in the pupils of the rotten wolf.
Moreover, it was a wolf like no other, it had a body twice as large as the average rotting wolf, and its smooth snow-white fur was something that had never been seen before in a rotting wolf, but the one who shocked Lintas the most was to see the rotting wolf slowly sit up at a very slow pace.
It sat upright like a human, then it lowered its head, slowly turned its head, and moved its gaze to the place where Lintas and the others were, and a sneering look flashed in its pupils.
Yes, sarcasm! It is unbelievable that only human emotions are manifested in the body of a rotting wolf.
All the rotten wolves around this rotting wolf, after the rotten wolf sat up, they all lay down one after another, and their mouths let out whimpering sounds, as if worshipping their king, and under the moonlight, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
Lintas's pupils retracted and contracted, he subconsciously swallowed his saliva, his body stiffened slightly, as if he had lost the ability to think!
Not only him, but everyone was directly shocked into a sluggish state when they saw this scene!
The first to come back to his senses was Gesang, who took a deep breath and suddenly found that his hand holding a sniper rifle was trembling slightly, and a sniper with an unsteady gun was fatal in battle, and then such a thought came to his mind.
Will they be able to hold out until the moment when the light before dawn comes?
Perhaps, only the devil knows!
