She knew that if the alpha wolf died, the entire wolf pack in the mountains would come for revenge, and only by intimidating the alpha wolf could she save her life.
The alpha wolf's massive body suddenly recoiled, letting out a low growl filled with resentment and anger, yet also tinged with fear.
It stared intently at Su Tang, then glanced at the corpses of its three companions on the ground, and at the human male emanating a powerful threat not far away.
After weighing the pros and cons, the experienced alpha wolf finally made a decision.
It let out a short, suppressed howl, as if giving an order to retreat.
Then, with its tail between its legs, it turned around first, leading the remaining wolves like a tide, retreating into the boundless dark forest behind them, and soon disappeared from sight.
Until the scent of the wolves completely disappeared.
Only the crackling of the campfire and the two men's slightly heavy breathing remained in the woods, indicating that the crisis was temporarily averted.
Su Tang's tense nerves relaxed slightly, and she immediately put away her pistol and walked quickly to Qin Ye's side.
His eyes were filled with anxiety and worry, and his voice trembled slightly.
"Qin Ye, how are you? Where are you hurt? Let me see!"
On Qin Ye's left arm, there were three deep claw marks that revealed the bone, and blood was still gushing out, soaking a large area of his military uniform sleeve, which looked rather horrifying.
He shook his head, his face pale, but his eyes were fixed on Su Tang with an unusually complex expression, as if trying to see right through her:
"It's just a superficial injury, nothing serious."
He said it was nothing to worry about, but Su Tang knew that wolf claws were full of bacteria and could easily cause infection if not treated promptly.
"What do you mean it's nothing! You've already lost so much blood!"
Without waiting for a reply, Su Tang spoke with a hint of reproach in her voice.
She carefully helped Qin Ye sit down by the fire, then quickly took out a military green canvas first aid kit from her small backpack.
Opening the first-aid kit, Qin Ye's eyes narrowed again at what was inside.
In addition to the usual gauze and bandages, there was a small bottle of transparent disinfectant with an unfamiliar label. To his surprise, there were also several syringes he had never seen before, packaged in glass tubes, as well as some small, oddly shaped instruments with a metallic sheen.
These things... would never be so complete in an ordinary household's first aid kit.
Su Tang noticed Qin Ye's strange gaze, but her attention was completely focused on his wound.
She first used a small pair of medical scissors to carefully cut open the blood-soaked sleeve of Qin Ye's arm, her movements gentle and skillful.
Su Tang frowned slightly when the gruesome wound was fully exposed to the air.
The wound was deeper than she had expected; the skin around the edges was peeling back, and the surrounding area was already slightly red and swollen.
She first used a clean cotton ball dipped in antiseptic to carefully clean the bloodstains and dirt around the wound.
Her movements were highly professional, meticulous in every step: cleaning, disinfecting, applying medication...
Qin Ye just watched her silently as she lowered her head and focused intently on treating her wounds.
The dim firelight illuminated her fair and delicate face, and her long eyelashes cast a small shadow under her eyelids.
Her fingers were slender and nimble as she moved over the wound.
He could smell a faint, sweet fragrance emanating from her, mixed with the unique scent of disinfectant and Yunnan Baiyao.
Far from being unpleasant to smell, it gradually calmed his heart, which was agitated by blood loss and shock.
"Tangtang," Qin Ye finally spoke, his voice hoarse from blood loss, but he tried his best to remain calm.
"Where did you get that gun... and all these medicines?" He paused, his deep gaze fixed on her.
He added another sentence, his tone carrying a complexity he himself didn't realize.
"And also, how...how do you know how to use a gun?"
