I have 14 bullets left in my pocket, but I can't guarantee that every single one of them will hit a wolf.

Moreover, the number of wolves surrounding us at the foot of the mountain has now far exceeded 14.

I can't go back and see what's going on with Wang Ping and Chen Jian right now. All I can see is Wang Xiaoxiao and Xu Wei throwing stones down the mountain like ants carrying food.

The problem this time was that there was no hot spring water on the mountaintop, so we couldn't pour water on the rocks to make them very slippery.

If the rocks get wet, they become impossible to climb.

But without this seasoning, the wolves can climb up as if walking on flat ground, and we have no way to stop them.

These male colleagues, each holding a stick, stood by like idiots, unable to offer any help whatsoever.

I yelled at my male colleague who was standing next to me in a daze, "What the hell are you looking at? Go pick up some stones, or we're all going to die!"

My male colleague was startled by my shout and cried out in surprise before turning around to help Wang Xiaoxiao and the others move the stones.

But as soon as he turned around, he fell straight to the ground and cried out in pain. It turned out he had twisted his ankle.

I was furious. These people really are all brains, only good for eating.

But now, even if I yell at him and get angry with them, it's no use at all. I can only angrily ask the other male colleagues to quickly drag him aside so he won't get in the way.

Meanwhile, the other male colleagues also sprang into action, quickly picking up stones and throwing them down the mountain. Thanks to their tireless efforts, the wolves finally jumped away one by one, since it hurt quite a bit to be hit by a stone.

I took the opportunity to kill the three wolves, but I wasted six bullets. Now I dare not use the few bullets I have left.

Meanwhile, Chen Jian was still yelling incessantly. I also heard Chen Jian telling Wang Ping to hurry up and get him the bullets. I wanted to speak up and stop him, but at this critical moment, it would seem petty to tell them not to use them.

I can only hope that I can resolve the situation here quickly and go help Chen Jian.

As a result, the ordeal lasted for more than two hours. In the end, although our side did not suffer any casualties, we had run out of ammunition.

At first, Chen Jian and his men used guns to kill the wolves, but later I couldn't hear any gunshots at all, only the rumbling sound of stones being thrown.

When I finally ran out of bullets, I had only killed one Nine-Headed Wolf.

The remaining wolves finally gave up, howling and baring their sharp fangs at us.

I know they suffered heavy casualties this time, and this matter will definitely not end so easily.

But I had no desire to continue the fight with them, so I could only keep telling my colleagues to hurry up and throw stones down the mountain.

More than ten minutes later, the pack of wolves finally disappeared from our sight.

Meanwhile, Wang Ping and his men killed one person with a stone, and Chen Jian actually killed another with a gun. All things considered, we have had quite a haul this time.

Most importantly, the brown bear that was hunted down by the wolves was left behind by them, which was an unexpected bonus for us.

We quickly assessed the situation at the top of the mountain. Apart from the male colleague who twisted his ankle and was still groaning, the others were just a little frightened.

We rested for about an hour before carefully carrying vines down the mountain. I dragged all the wolves to the bottom of our waterfall, skinned them, cut up the meat, and had my male colleagues take it all up the mountain.

After wrapping it in sea salt, continue to dry it in the sun. This will make it into dried meat. When you want to eat it, you can just roast it over a fire, which is very convenient.

The brown bear's neck had been torn in several places by the wolves, as had its legs. Fortunately, the tears on its back weren't too large; if it could be properly cut off and its skin peeled off, it would still be usable.

Wang Ping and Chen Jian were also pale-faced. Wang Ping sat to the side and sighed, "Alas, my marksmanship is really terrible. Otherwise, I could have saved you some bullets. I really didn't think this through."

Chen Jian shrugged after hearing Wang Ping's words, looking displeased.

"Brother Sihai, isn't Brother Wang just putting me down by saying that? I had the most bullets at the time, but I only managed to kill one wolf. Sigh, I feel really uncomfortable with what Brother Wang is saying."

Looking at the two of them like this, I couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, alright, bullets are important, but when lives are at stake, who cares about that? As long as we're all safe and sound, that's more important than anything else. Hurry up, stop talking nonsense, and get all this meat cut up. We'll need to process it up the mountain later. I was thinking that the jar of sea salt we brought would last us for a few months. If we use that salt to marinate this meat, we'll probably have to go and boil some more sea salt in a few days. There's a lot to do, so let's not waste any more time."

We quickly and efficiently skinned all the dead wolves with the help of several other male colleagues, then washed the wolf pelts clean and dragged them to the mountaintop to dry.

When I got back to the house that evening, I was completely exhausted. Although I hadn't done any heavy work that afternoon, the shock was something most people couldn't endure.

I slept soundly all night, and when I woke up in the morning, DouDing and DouDing's mother were sleeping peacefully in my arms.

Xu Wei looked at me with a chuckle and walked to my bedside.

"Sister Xiao Qiang has already prepared the meal. Let's get up and eat. It's the bear paw from the bear you caught yesterday. Chen Jian and Liu Jiaojiao are here too. Brother Wang Ping has already washed all the wild vegetables and is waiting for you."

I stretched and got out of bed. Xu Wei handed me a wet piece of clothing. I wiped my face and went outside, only to find that everyone at the table was already seated.

Wang Ping nodded when he saw me: "Sihai, I think we should go out and pick some more fruit after we finish eating. Xu Wenyuan has already made wine from all the fruit, but there's no fresh fruit left. I think we should go and pick some more, otherwise, we don't know when these wolves will come back, and we won't be able to get out."

"Besides picking fruit, we also need to take some security measures. Chen Jian and I have already discussed it and decided to put some vines around the entrance to the mountain. That way, it won't be easy for the wolves to rush up, and we can feel more at ease."

Releasing wolves back into the mountains is indeed a tricky matter, but there's nothing we can do about it.

Because there's no way to wipe them out completely; even if you kill this group of wolves on such a large deserted island, there will still be others.

Therefore, we really can only focus on the security system, as Wang Ping suggested.

I nodded: "Let's eat first, and then we can discuss it. No matter what, our stomachs are the most important thing!"
