Chapter 59: Things get worse



The Bigfoot incident is over, and we thought we could live here peacefully for a while, but the weather was not good. The wild world is completely different from what we imagined. Nature is a special system with its own chains, and we, as ordinary people, can only look ahead and behind, and see the whole picture.

It seems that we have cleared the obstacles and gained the upper hand, but in fact we have already sown the seeds of disaster and turned a blessing into a disaster!

Just after I made peace with Bigfoot, I took Yingchun back to the house. We all gathered together to prepare the unfinished New Year's Eve dinner. We continued to eat, play and have fun. It was a series of celebrations for our rebirth. It lasted until noon. After that, because we didn't sleep well last night, we all went to make up for it with a nap. We all slept soundly and didn't wake up until the afternoon.

I was afraid that the bison on the mountain would rot, so I asked Yunwen and Yingchun to look after the house, while Bailu and I followed the way I came back to the top of the mountain to break down the edible beef. This would allow us to have more food for the next few days, and we could also pickle and dry it for storage, so that these resources would not rot and stink, and be eaten by vultures and the like.

After walking through it once, I basically have a clear idea of ​​the route planning: from the tall trees and jujube tree area to the fault, then go up to the dangerous road, the narrow slope on the dangerous road to the vicinity of the abandoned house, then continue uphill and turn the corner to the stone steps, and keep going up the stone steps to reach the top of the mountain, where Bigfoot originally lived.

Along the way, Bai Lu also picked and collected things. In her opinion, treasures are everywhere in nature.

Just when she paused for a moment to pick grass, I smelled a strange odor, a foul smell. I had smelled it before when I was in a dangerous area for the first time. The smell was a bit similar to dog urine, but slightly different. It was also that time that Yunwen and I were attacked by a pack of wolves and almost died.

Now when I smell this smell, I am not in the danger zone, nor within the hunting range of the wolves. I just smell it near the dangerous road on the fault, which makes me feel a little ominous.

"Bailu, have you ever smelled fox urine? Is the general smell very different from dog urine?" I asked.

"It's still quite big. Fox urine is very smelly, even a little pungent. Dog urine has a much lighter smell. Why do you ask this?" Bai Lu asked.

"Nothing, just asking," I said.

We continued to climb up, and soon reached the top of the mountain. Sure enough, there were many vultures and eagles circling in the sky, and they were also coveting the meat of the dead bison below.

Because it was spring, the air was very humid and the temperature was much higher than in winter. Generally, meat was not marinated and stored for a long time. Although the bison had only been killed by Bigfoot a day or two ago, it had already begun to have a sour and smelly smell. Flies were flying around, and Bai Lu and I wanted to vomit when we smelled it. The better part was the beef spine. In order to survive, we endured the stench and scooped out some relatively fresh meat and put it in our backpacks.

After working for a long time, looking at the bag full of meat, I silently thanked the bison, thanking it for giving us this meat and living under natural conditions. This is a precious gift.

Bai Lu and I went to the spring pool on the right to wash the blood off our hands. She looked pale, and like me, her stomach was churning and she felt like vomiting. After all, it was impossible to stay away from that smell if you smelled it for too long.

After cleaning, we prepared to return the same way we came, and go back early before it gets dark. When we passed the Bigfoot's nest again, we saw vultures pecking at the remaining meat. There was a whole group of them sharing the food. Of course, there were not enough bison to support them, and some were eating the dead Bigfoot.

Seeing the corpse of the Bigfoot, Song Bailu couldn't help but say to me: "Zhou Bo, thank you so much. If you hadn't climbed up the mountain with your bare hands without hesitation, I think it would be our Yingchun who would be eaten by the vulture now."

"We are a team, and we should help each other. There is no need to thank or not," I said.

She smiled and nodded, and then we left quickly, because vultures are very protective of their food, and once they take the food, they will definitely drive us away. If we are pecked by their beaks, it will not be worth it.

We returned along the stone steps and reached the bottom of the mountain. After getting away from the vultures, we went down the last step, but the grass beside us was rustling. I became alert and quickly picked up the gun, holding it with one hand and holding Bai Lu with the other.

I said nothing, but stretched my arms back, with my palms facing her.

She muttered, "Stop? Is this the code for special forces combat gestures?"

I nodded.

She nodded at me too.

Then I lowered my hands and placed my palms at waist height, with my palms facing up and my fingers forming a claw shape. She immediately bent her elbows, clenched her fists, and raised her wrists to face height. I felt much more relieved.

I mean there are dogs (wolves) ahead, she means, understand!

The reason for not speaking was to avoid alerting the enemy immediately, and also to let Bai Lu fully understand the situation ahead.

I raised my rifle, squatted down, picked up a stone and threw it into the bushes. Sure enough, not long after, a few gray wolves came out from their hiding place. They all looked unfriendly, but there were only three or four of them. I guessed they were just acting as sentinels, and the wolf king might not have arrived yet.

If I shoot them, it will certainly provoke their aggressiveness, and their purpose is to delay us until a large number of wolves gather around us and kill us. Therefore, I cannot use the remaining nine bullets indiscriminately, otherwise it will backfire and kill Bai Lu and me.

"Take out three pieces of beef from your backpack," I said.

"Okay." Bai Lu quickly reached out and opened the backpack, handing me two pieces of bloody raw beef. I threw them towards the right corner, two of them passed by, and there were three or four waiting. I immediately threw them farther away, and two more ran to grab them.

There were only one or two left looking at us, and I immediately raised my forearms vertically to the ground, formed an L shape with my arms, fingers clasped together, and waved them forward from behind to indicate advancement, and Bai Lu repeated the clear gesture.

We moved forward quietly. The remaining two wolves no longer had that much courage. When they saw us approaching, they just whimpered and made warning sounds in their throats.

Just when they were about to fight, I suddenly threw out the last piece and the other two immediately chased after me. Then I pulled Bai Lu and ran quickly towards the corner, all the way to the deserted house. Some of the wild wolves realized something was wrong and chased after us again. Only then did I aim at the top of the hill and fired a shot.

Bang!

Suddenly, rocks fell everywhere. The wolves were busy finding shelters to protect themselves, so they had no time to chase us. I took advantage of this opportunity and ran back to the dangerous road with Bai Lu. There were still wolves lying in ambush here, but fortunately not many. I held my rifle and aimed it at the eyes of the leader. Due to the structure of their eyes, they would think that the gun was a very threatening thing, so they were busy dealing with the gun.

The path was narrow and dangerous, and two wolves controlled one, so the other one behind could only retreat...

In this way, I forced them back step by step, and finally we reached the rope. I let Bai Lu go down first. After she went down, the two wolves were already furious, and the wolves behind them also caught up. I could only jump down directly from the fault. The fault was three or four meters high, and the wolves could only howl above and did not dare to chase me down.

After I jumped down, I immediately used rolling to relieve the impact, and fortunately I was not injured!

Then he quickly ran away with Bai Lu.

"I remember there were no wolves here before. How come there are now? The wolves are not expanding their territory randomly without a reason." Bai Lu said as she ran.
