The wolf pack also showed a moment of unease and hesitation.
The killing of the alpha wolf made them feel threatened.
"What are you standing there for? Do you want to die?!"
Zhang Cheng shouted sternly, while quickly pulling back the bolt to reload a bullet.
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable air of authority and murderous intent, instantly waking the terrified villagers.
