Chapter 16: The Wolves in the Night
Xiu'er was still affected by the nausea of the corpse mountain, and she didn't eat much food and went into the tent early to rest.
The rest of the people also went to rest after pulling around the fire, and the high-intensity running for two days really made everyone tired enough. The old ghost and the three Amu's subordinates took the initiative to take on the task of keeping vigil, and we didn't shirk it, and after instructing us to pay attention to safety and other words, we went back to our tents one after another.
Pang Qinghe sat next to Heizi throughout the whole meal, and he didn't know what he was talking to him, and Heizi's poker face really couldn't see the mood swings, and I felt bored after sneaking a few glances at the two of them. Entering the tent, Xiu'er was lying there, her eyes wide open, and she was not asleep.
I looked at her like that, and asked with a smile, "I regret coming along, I said a long time ago that you would go home, but you don't believe it." ”
Xiu'er pouted, "I don't regret it, it's actually quite interesting, isn't it?" Much better than staying at home with nothing to do. ”
I lay down and took her into my arms, "Interesting is interesting, but it is indeed very dangerous, I don't know when there will be trouble suddenly on my head, you see that our group has only come here, and one person has been sacrificed, and the next road does not know how difficult it will be, with you by my side, I am worried about you all the time." ”
Xiu'er leaned over and kissed me on the cheek, "Don't worry, I can protect myself." ”
I pinched her nose, "I dare to say that I can protect myself, I almost died when I was by the river." ”
"Hmph, Sister Qinghe was also there at that time, she was so powerful that she was tricked, how can you blame me!" Xiu'er pretended to be angry and said, "But since I entered this forest, I always feel that there is an inexplicable evil aura everywhere, just like a trap after a trap, and people are always leading by the nose." Let's take that lab just now, is that what we happened to meet? I don't always feel like it! ”
"Xiu'er, are you a little suspicious, entering the cave was the fat man's suggestion, so it's not like he's luring us into the trap."
"No, I didn't mean that. I mean, except for the sunspots, you guys are actually very easy to be guessed through, and with a little temptation, you will smoothly fall into the trap of others. And before you know it, you fall into a big trap. Whoever wants to get something out of this lab will not give up for decades. However, now their opponents have turned into troops. It just so happened that our group of people came in again at this time. I think something isn't quite right. ”
"Don't think about it so much, to paraphrase the fat man's words, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and if you are too worried, you will not have a good day, so what's the point of living."
"Yes, you people don't understand anything, so you dare to run around recklessly, and it's really fatal."
"Hey, hey!"
As the night wore on, all that could be heard outside the tent was the whispered conversation of the four night watchmen and the snoring of a few tents. I chatted with Xiu'er for a long time before she finally felt sleepy and fell asleep. The moon hung high, the whole forest was as silent as stagnant water, and the slightest bird call could not be heard, which was really strange. I didn't think much about it though, closed my eyes and fell asleep quickly.
I don't know how long I slept, a gunshot woke Xiu'er and me up at the same time, and then the continuous sound of gunfire almost sounded in our ears, we hurried out of the tent, only to see that there were only three of the four people on the night watch, and one of the guys was sliding out of an arc with a gun, and the bullet chased a jumping figure in the darkness not far away.
"What's going on?"
"The wolf, it's the wolf, it took Ali away." The other fellow returned.
"What? In which direction did you go? Pang Qinghe suddenly appeared beside him when he heard the sound, and when the guy who fired the gun saw her appear, he calmly pointed in a direction, and she only dropped a sentence "Protect everyone!" Then he held the knife and chased after him.
"Don't die, don't die. How can you go and chase wild wolves at night? The old ghost shouted anxiously, and at this time everyone had already walked out of the tent, and knowing the general situation, they all took out their weapons and waited on guard. Wolves are social animals, and there will not be only one, so everyone should pay attention to safety. ”
Time ticks, minute by minute. Finally, a pair of shining eyes appeared in the night not far away, two pairs, three pairs, and at least thirty wild wolves were staring at us. This formation alone immediately frightened the old ghost into weakness and knelt down.
"This guy is a fucking piece of shit, what now?" The fat man saw the old ghost's nest, and scolded angrily and asked the big head.
The big head walked over and kicked the old ghost, "Cheer up, you are a hunter, what should you do when you encounter so many wolves?" With us people here, if you want to die, you won't die first, stand up for me! ”
"Oh, good, good!" The old ghost barely had a little courage and got up tremblingly.
Suddenly, a wolf howl came from not far away, the howl gradually weakened, with the collapse of a big tree, the sound of "woo" sounded, until it disappeared, and looked at it again, Pang Qinghe was carrying a person on his back and rushed towards this side quickly, to the vicinity of the wolves, a jump, kicked the tree trunk, and fell to us in the air.
When she stopped, she saw that the guy named Ali who had been taken away by the wolf was bubbling with blood in several hollows in his neck, a large piece of flesh had been bitten off at the waist, and his legs were almost bone-threaded at his knees due to repeated hits between running and running, and the death was so tragic that even we found it difficult to accept.
Pang Qinghe's body was covered with blood, there were still a few traces of wolf claws on his arms, and the blood on the short knife was slowly flowing in a straight line from the return trip, she looked at the dead Ali with a resolute expression, turned around, and stared at the wolves, I seemed to see that she was madly bubbling with the flames of revenge.
Sure enough, after a slight pause, without saying a word, she held the knife and wanted to rush towards the wolves, but fortunately, Kuroko grabbed her hand vigorously and shook her head at her, "Don't be impulsive." ”
The old ghost also hurriedly said, "Boss Pang, wolves are very vengeful animals, you just killed their companions, and rushed in at this moment, undoubtedly looking for death, or calm down first." Perhaps he was frightened by the fierce and vicious Pang Qinghe, and the old ghost at this moment was obviously much calmer.
The big head asked him, "Why haven't they attacked yet?" ”
