Chapter 87: Slaughter of Wolves
Looking at those twinkling wolf eyes, one could tell it was going to be a fierce battle.
Zhou Yong hurriedly ordered everyone to make a fire, and everyone except the people from the security brigade started to move.
"Don't be afraid, just stand here."
Li Caiyun nodded with a pale face, and Zhou Yong followed everyone to make a fire.
Fortunately, they had made preparations in advance and had enough firewood. Before the wolves approached, they built seven or eight fires in succession.
With these fires, the wolves' pace of approaching slowed down significantly, but they showed no intention of leaving.
Cao Biao narrowed his eyes and tightened his grip on the hunting rifle: "Find a wolf and shoot it."
The alpha wolf usually hides at the back of the pack, and it is quite difficult to shoot it.
Zhou Yong felt that this would not work, and after some thought he came up with a battle plan: "The archers will be the vanguard, and the people from the public security brigade will provide cover..."
Cao Biao frowned: "Will this work?"
Zhou Yong said: "We have limited bullets, we need to conserve our strength..."
Cao Biao nodded, and except for Li Caiyun, everyone else formed a circle with bows and arrows.
As soon as a wolf showed its head with a fierce look in its eyes, Li Hongjun's arrow flew towards it quickly and accurately.
A wolf howled and an arrow hit the wolf.
The wolf staggered in place, howled a few times, and then fell to the ground.
Zhou Yong glanced at Li Hongjun and gave him a thumbs up in his heart.
Cao Biao smiled and said, "Li Hongjun, you are really fucking awesome."
Li Hongjun had a serious look on his face, staring at the wolves that were ready to move, and he did not respond.
As soon as Cao Biao finished speaking, the wolves launched the first wave of attack. Li Hongjun's arrows hit the target every time, killing a wolf with each arrow.
Twenty or thirty wolves died, and the leader hid in the darkness and started howling.
The second wave of attack was fierce, and some wolves rushed towards them without caring about their lives.
Zhou Yong kicked the fire in front of him, sparks flew all over the ground, and forced the wolves to retreat step by step.
A dozen wolves bared their fangs not far from them, pacing in place and staring at them with murderous eyes.
Wolves are social animals and they hold grudges very well. Since they have killed so many wolves, the wolf pack is bound to fight them to the death.
Without waiting for the wolves to attack again, Zhou Yong gave an order and everyone attacked the wolves.
Arrows were shot out densely, and wolves fell one after another, but the leader was nowhere to be seen.
Li Hongjun was a little anxious. After all, they only had a limited number of arrows. If they continued like this, they would become the wolves' meal sooner or later.
"Zhou Yong, what should we do now?"
Zhou Yong narrowed his eyes and spoke after thinking: "We need to find a way to lure the wolf out."
Li Hongjun didn't think twice: "I'll go, Captain Cao will cover for me."
Zhou Yong stopped Li Hongjun from taking risky actions. He was the most skilled among these people. If he got injured, it would be very disadvantageous for the rest of the journey.
"Who's going then?"
Zhou Yong looked around at everyone and frowned: "I'll go."
Except for him and Li Caiyun, everyone else here is a master hunter and no one can get hurt.
Cao Biao's eyes widened: "Fuck, don't try to show off."
Zhou Yong was not trying to show off. The decision he made would be beneficial to the team's subsequent journey.
Everyone looked at Zhou Yong, and many people admired him.
Li Hongjun shook his head: "You are the captain. If you are injured, how can our team move forward?"
Zhou Yong said, "My injury is nothing. It won't delay your trip. If any of you get injured and you encounter a wolf pack next time, we will be threatened..."
Cao Biao looked disapproving. He was about to speak, but Zhou Yong spoke before him: "Old Cao, I leave my life to you."
Li Caiyun's heart was beating in her throat. She looked at Zhou Yong and her face turned pale as paper in an instant.
As soon as Zhou Yong finished speaking, he rushed out. Cao Biao stamped his feet and said, "Listen, people from the public security brigade. Protect Zhou Yong with all your strength..."
The people from the security brigade raised their guns and looked forward, while the others drew their bows and arrows. Li Caiyun stared at Zhou Yong who was approaching the wolf pack, and her calves felt a little weak.
Before Zhou Yong could get close, the wolf hiding in the darkness rushed out.
He swung his machete and arrows flew past him.
Zhou Yong chopped the wolf's head with his knife, and the moment he pulled out the knife, his face was splashed with the wolf's blood.
A wolf fell at his feet, and Zhou Yong raised his knife and chopped at the other wolf.
Gunshots rang out behind Zhou Yong, and a wolf fell to the ground from the air.
As he killed, the wolves fell to the ground one by one. The leader wolf could no longer sit still, and walked out of the darkness with bared teeth and fierce eyes.
Zhou Yong, with blood all over his face, slashed at the wolf leader. The wolf leader jumped up and pounced on him with its fangs bared.
"Zhou Yong, lie down."
Cao Biao shouted at the top of his lungs, and Zhou Yong quickly fell to the ground. After a few shots, the huge body of the wolf fell from the air to the ground.
With the death of the leader wolf, the wolves scattered and the battle ended in a bloody fight.
Everyone ran towards him. Zhou Yong held a machete in his hand and looked at the wolf leader who was about to die. He went up and chopped the wolf's neck with the machete.
Cao Biao: "Fuck, are you okay?"
Zhou Yong shook his head, and the others looked at him with changed eyes.
There were some people in the special team who looked down on him from the bottom of their hearts, but at this moment, they were all impressed by his heroic behavior.
Li Caiyun came to Zhou Yong with a pale face and wiped the blood off his face with her sleeve: "You scared me to death."
Zhou Yong looked at his young wife and suddenly realized that he had made such a risky decision without considering her feelings at all.
He pursed his lips, wanting to say something to comfort Li Caiyun, but before he could open his mouth, Li Hongjun said, "Let's all clean up the battlefield quickly. The smell of blood will attract other animals..."
Without caring about romantic relationships, everyone started moving.
After dealing with the wolf's body, everyone evacuated the area.
After walking for more than an hour, we found an open space and started a fire…
"Fuck, your behavior just now was too risky, what's wrong with you?"
Zhou Yong stared around and lowered his voice: "It would not be appropriate for me to ask anyone to take risks under the circumstances at that time."
Cao Biao urinated and said unthinkingly, "Then let's face it together. Why do you have to be a hero? Nothing happened to you? If something happened to you, have you thought about the consequences?"
Zhou Yong pulled up his pants and said with a smile, "I believe you won't let anything happen to me."
Cao Biao looked at him, his body shuddered, he pulled up his pants and punched Zhou Yong on the shoulder.
"Fuck, if you do something like this again next time, I'll get mad at you."
Everyone has selfish desires. Although Cao Biao is the captain of the security team, he does not want to see Zhou Yong taking risks that disregard his own safety.
Zhou Yong rubbed his shoulder that was hurt by Cao Biao's beating: "Old Cao, don't worry, I promise you, there will never be a next time..."
Cao Biao glanced at him, snorted a few times and said nothing. Zhou Yong put his arm around his shoulders and the two walked towards the rest area.
The next day, just after dawn, Cao Biao, who was on guard, woke everyone up.
Li Caiyun rubbed her eyes and sat up, and the tiger's roar reached everyone's ears.
Zhou Yong stood up with a start: "I think the tiger has fallen into the trap we set. Let's go and have a look..."
