In the huge forest, Zhao Wei was running quickly with a gun in hand.
Behind him, a pack of wolves surrounded and chased him, violently and eagerly.
The sounds of panting, stepping on snow, and wolf howling mixed together to form a fatal encounter.
After Zhao Wei had gained a certain distance, he stopped.
At this time, there were many trees in the forest, most of which were covered with thick snow.
He chose a tree with more branches and climbed up quickly.
There were long icicles on the treetops, but fortunately the tree was big enough and the trunk was not frozen, so it did not affect his movements.
As a special reconnaissance soldier, these are compulsory subjects. Failure to meet the requirements will affect task assignments and promotions.
Facing survival at this moment, he climbed up at the fastest speed possible, and in a blink of an eye he was sitting on the branch, raising his shotgun and aiming at the wolf.
He only had 10 bullets in his hand. He had used one last time. Now each one was precious and needed to be used in a planned way.
The wild wolf's limbs are relatively strong, which are suitable for activities such as running on the ground, chasing prey and migrating long distances, but they are not suitable for climbing trees and can only wander and howl under the trees.
It is not easy to find something to eat in the mountains. These animals are just meat for Zhao Wei, so how can he bear to give them up?
About half an hour passed and the wolves were still circling the tree trunk, but they gradually relaxed their vigilance because they did not find any new threats.
They no longer grimaced and breathed, but began to pace around, rest, etc.
Shooting at this time can increase the probability of hitting the target and may scare the wolves and make them retreat.
Zhao Wei acted decisively.
Bang!
The sound of gunfire was so deafening that it shook the snow and icicles off the trees.
The wolves under the tree howled in fear and ran away, leaving only a dead body behind.
Zhao Wei jumped down from the tree instantly, raised his hand and fired another shot.
A scream was heard not far away, heralding success.
He twitched the corners of his mouth complacently, proud of his marksmanship.
He rushed forward with a shotgun on his back and a machete at his waist.
The wolf only hit him on the buttocks and his life was not in danger. So when it saw Zhao Wei, it was like an enemy meeting with jealous eyes and was determined to bite him even with its wounds.
There was only one wolf, and it was injured. Zhao Wei was not afraid at all. He swung the axe and chopped the wolf so hard that it couldn't stand steadily.
He didn't use a blade because there was no need. He was absolutely sure that he could beat the beast to death and keep its skin relatively intact.
After tying up the two wolves together, he temporarily buried the prey with branches and snow.
After finally entering the mountains, he naturally wanted to try to get more prey before dawn to maximize his profits.
After walking for about an hour, we finally arrived at the place where we hunted last time.
What surprised him was that someone had already got there first.
The footprints around were obvious, and although they were covered by new snow, they were not completely obscured.
After a careful inspection, it was found that the lures buried in the pit had been tampered with and the noose had been cut off by someone.
I didn't expect that just one day of absence would lead to someone else's failure. I feel a little upset, but there's nothing I can do.
Having learned from his experience, he decided to set traps in another place. This time he wanted to see who had the ability to steal his prey.
In the plains, there is no obstruction, so the target is naturally large.
When setting the trap again, he tried to choose a hidden place, such as dense bushes, behind boulders or in ravines, to reduce the chance of being discovered by others.
Then the traps were set on certain animals that were active at night, such as wild boars.
Wild boars are large and strong, so the traps must be sturdy enough.
For example, the support of the hanging trap must be made of thick and strong tree trunks to ensure that it can bear the weight of the wild boar without being pulled apart; the wall of the deep pit trap must be thick enough to prevent the wild boar from collapsing and escaping.
Wild boars are cautious and suspicious by nature, so the trigger mechanism must be able to be triggered by them, but not too sensitive to prevent other animals from accidentally triggering it.
The main reason was that the prey was too small and he no longer cared much about it.
Zhao Wei spent a whole hour painstakingly debugging it repeatedly before finally setting it up. Only wild boars are worthy of enjoying it.
He made four or five such mechanisms, which took him about three hours.
If you go to the mountains and forests every night in the future, you can save a lot of trouble.
After finishing all this, it was already past midnight. After wandering in the woods for a while, Zhao Wei did not encounter any roaming prey, so he prepared to retreat.
The weather was still too cold for this dog. Frost had condensed on his clothes and even his eyebrows felt frozen. If he didn't warm up, he would probably get frostbite.
The two wolves weighed about 70 to 80 kilograms each. They were stuffed into the backpack and some light firewood was tied on top to hide them from others.
After everything was ready, he hurried home.
At this time in the village, there were no sounds of chickens crowing or dogs barking, but he was not the only one walking at night.
It was the grandparents who worked tirelessly to rescue Zhao Long.
At this time they were shivering with cold and walked with their heads huddled.
When he saw Zhao Wei carrying firewood, he did not recognize him and just asked casually.
"Whose family are you from? You are too hardworking. You are still working so late at night without sleeping!"
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk... If my good-for-nothing sons were half as diligent as you, the immortals in my Zhao family would be so happy that they would jump out of their graves."
Zhao Wei rolled his eyes and said coldly, "I am Zhao Wei. If the immortal from our Zhao family jumps out, the first people he will look for should be you, right?"
"I suggest you two stay up tonight, lest you miss the arrival of the immortal, which would be a great sin."
When his grandmother heard his voice, she immediately felt unlucky.
"Ah, bah, bah, you little bastard, stop talking nonsense." Then he put his hands together and prayed: "Don't let the bad things come true, God bless you! I will burn incense and offer sacrifices to you another day, and you must bless my family to have peace!"
After the prayer, he said viciously: "You are guilty of speaking nonsense and offending the ancestors and gods. I will confiscate this load of firewood as punishment. Humph!"
"Hurry up, if you don't see the firewood later, everyone in this room will forget about sleeping."
The old couple supported each other and left in a hurry, not caring at all about what Zhao Wei felt behind them.
As for whether the people in the second house have firewood to burn, it doesn’t matter. The most important thing is that he and his other sons can get some benefits.
Zhao Wei stood there in a daze for a long time. They were all brothers from the same mother, and he couldn't understand why a person's heart could be so biased.
The only explanation is that they are not biological children.
When he was getting a haircut during the day, he looked in the mirror and discovered that both he and his father had fair and handsome looks.
The rest of the Zhao family members, without exception, all have dark square faces and are just ordinary people.
Unfortunately, this can only be a suspicion, as DNA testing is not possible in this day and age.
"Humph! You want firewood, right? I'll give it to you, but I'm afraid you...can't bear it!"
Zhao Wei smiled evilly and quickened his pace.
