Yu Yao spoke up in time, "Sisters, don't be afraid. Wolves are bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong. Don't look them in the eye, and don't let the wolves see that you are afraid."

Like humans, wolves also prey on the weak; once someone panics, they are likely to become the wolf's target…

Her voice was strong and clear, her expression calm, and her words seemed to carry a strange energy, quieting everyone down with her voice.

Sister Xiao glanced at Yu Yao, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes, and echoed:

“Yu Yao is right, everyone please don’t panic. Some people have already gone down the mountain to ask for help. If we just hold on for a little longer, we will be able to wait for rescue.”

Yu Yao urged everyone to slowly gather together, with their backs to the inside and their hands facing outwards, not to look shy.

The alpha wolf emitted low whimpers and howls as the pack approached them from all sides, also whimpering.

The sharp fangs gleamed coldly, sending chills down everyone's spines. They held their breath, gripped their weapons tightly, and, just as Yu Yao had taught them, couldn't afford to lose face.

Wu Shufen squeezed into the crowd in a panic, drawing angry stares from the crowd, but she didn't care at all and just wanted to hide in the middle of the crowd.

At this moment, Yu Yao became the backbone of everyone, and everyone followed her lead.

Yu Yao held a wood-chopping knife in one hand and a wooden stick in the other, her eyes watching the lazy man's every move warily.

The two sides reached a stalemate.

The wolf pack kept circling around, probing and trying to find a weak point to break through, but the military wives remembered Yu Yao's instructions and dared not relax their vigilance for a moment.

The alpha wolf gradually lost patience and roared, trying to charge. Twice in a row, it was driven back by the wooden stick in Yu Yao's hand.

Yu Yao stood firmly at the front, facing the alpha wolf, her expression calm and composed, showing no fear whatsoever.

Seeing her like this, the military wives also felt courage rise in their hearts, gripped their weapons tightly, and confronted the wolf pack.

At this time, they cannot hold Yu Yao back.

Yin Susu and Su Meihua stood to the left and right of Yu Yao, holding things in their hands, their nerves on edge, watching for any movement around them, ready to support Yu Yao at any time.

This method repelled the first few wolf attacks, but as time went on, everyone's physical strength and energy began to wane.

One of the wolves attacked from the left, right where Wu Shufen was. Wu Shufen screamed in fright and rushed into the center of the crowd, disrupting the formation.

It even knocked down several of his sisters-in-law, revealing a huge gap.

The next second, the alpha wolf howled, and all the wolves charged at him from all directions.

Everyone turned pale, and they were about to be pounced on by the wolves when a loud gunshot suddenly rang out from not far away. Several gray wolves fell to the ground, hit in vital areas.

Lu Ze's figure appeared at the end of the mountain road.

When the military wives saw Lu Ze, their eyes filled with tears. "Commander Lu is here! Commander Lu has brought people to rescue us!"

Yu Yao used a wooden stick to knock back the gray wolf in front of her, and the next second the gray wolf was hit by a bullet and fell in front of her.

She breathed a sigh of relief and looked back.

At the end of the mountain road, Lu Ze, dressed in military uniform and holding an automatic pistol, was seen firing at the wolf pack as he walked.

The gray wolves were moving around, making them difficult to hit, but Yu Yao still saw a gray wolf fall to the ground after each gunshot.

Soon, the gray wolves that surrounded them either died or fled.

Upon seeing this, Yu Yao collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

She exerted the most effort during the fight with the wolf pack, and several times she also had to help other military wives, so she was the one who expended the most energy.

If you relax even for a moment, you won't be able to stand up.

"Yu Yao, how are you?" The other military wives came over to ask about her condition.

Yu Yao waved her hand, "It's nothing, I'm just a little exhausted, I'll be fine after a rest."

Su Meihua massaged her hands and legs, and Yin Susu handed her a military water bottle, saying, "It contains honey water, which can replenish your strength."

Yu Yao didn't even have the strength to say thank you; she took the military water bottle and started drinking.

Sister Xiao wiped the sweat from her forehead, and the other military wives were also checking on her.

When Lu Ze and his men arrived, the military wife, worried that Commander Lu would be concerned, quickly said, "Yu Yao is not injured. We were just confronting the wolf pack, and it was thanks to Yu Yao that we were protected. Otherwise, we would have been seriously injured if not killed. She used up too much energy and doesn't have the strength to stand up now."

Lu Ze squatted down in front of Yu Yao, checked that she was indeed not injured, breathed a sigh of relief, and stayed with her to rest.

Song Yiming and his team were responsible for cleaning up the scene.

Lu Ze looked at the wolves on the ground. "Song Yiming, leave two people to clean up the scene. The rest of you, chase after them and check the protective netting."

"Yes, Commander."

Seeing that Su Meihua and Lei Xiaojun were alright, Commander Lei asked, "What the hell is going on? How come there's a pack of wolves inside this protective net?"

Su Meihua looked around. "Where's Wu Shufen? Where did she go?"

When the military wives heard her say this, they realized that Wu Shufen had disappeared sometime during the day.

"What happened to Wu Shufen?" Commander Lei asked.

Su Meihua found an outlet for her pent-up anger: "She's the one who lured the wolves here. Not only did she lure the wolves, but she also deliberately tripped Yu Yao to create an opportunity for herself to escape, almost causing Yu Yao to lose her life."

"If she hadn't been so self-centered and scattered the group, we wouldn't have been caught by the wolves, and several of us wouldn't have been injured."

"She can run away, but she can't hide. This matter will not be left like this."
