The brown bear's howl echoed throughout the forest, sending chills down my spine.
When these female colleagues saw that Chen Jian and Wang Ping were injured, their momentum immediately weakened.
Bai Wei is holding on, with a large tree branch propped against his chest, seemingly trying to protect himself.
But this branch was nothing more than a toothpick to these two brown bears.
I immediately spotted a few trembling male colleagues and yelled, "Quickly protect these women and move them to one side! Try to spread them out!"
He then pulled the gun out of Wang Ping's hand and handed it to Bai Wei.
"President Bai, now we must get through this together. Our lives or our deaths depend on this!"
Bai Wei's face was pale, and for the first time, his eyes revealed such a direct fear.
I didn't have time to waste words with him. I raised my hand, turned around, and fired two more shots at the brown bear whose eye I had just shot.
The brown bear lay completely on the ground, its body still twitching.
The brown bear that had just confronted Wang Ping became even more frenzied upon seeing its companion dead. It lay on the ground, swaying on all fours, its fangs bared, and charged at us madly.
He moved so fast that I didn't even have time to shake off my colleagues standing behind me.
I had no choice but to grit my teeth, raise my gun, and pull the trigger as quickly as possible. With a snap, the bullet struck the brown bear in the shoulder.
I thought he would back off, but to my surprise, the bear was bleeding from its shoulder, yet it seemed to feel nothing at all. It didn't stop moving and pounced on my chest in the blink of an eye.
My heart nearly jumped out of my chest in fright, but the gun in Bai Wei's hand didn't fire at all. He stood there like a statue, completely still.
I cursed inwardly, "It's over, I'm doomed this time!"
But at this moment, Bai Wei, who had been stiff all along, suddenly changed direction. The gun still didn't fire, but the stick in his hand suddenly rose up and plunged into the brown bear's throat.
The brown bear was running so fast that it couldn't stop at all. With its momentum and the branch that Bai Wei had stuck up, the brown bear's body went limp and it was pierced right through by the branch.
A foul, bloody smell immediately hit me.
By now, all the people behind me have been evacuated.
Bai Wei was still standing there dumbfounded, staring at the huge brown bear. I immediately raised my leg and kicked Bai Wei.
The moment I kicked Bai Wei away, the brown bear fell to the ground.
I raised my pistol and, without saying a word, fired two more shots into the brown bear's head.
My shotgun was out of bullets, but the brown bear was no longer moving. It lay flat on its back, blood flowing everywhere.
The brown bear twitched a few times and then stopped responding. The brown bear behind me was still whimpering softly. Although I felt a little reluctant, in this dog-eat-dog world, being soft-hearted towards the enemy was being cruel to myself. I gritted my teeth, raised my hand and snatched a wooden stick from a male colleague's hand, and stabbed it hard into the brown bear's neck again.
The brown bear's body trembled violently a few times, then it fell silent.
My legs went weak and I fell straight to the ground.
Xiao Qiang suddenly appeared out of nowhere and threw herself into my arms. Wang Xiaoxiao, Liu Jiaojiao, and the others also rushed over.
I gasped for breath, unable to believe that I had killed two brown bears in such a dark and late hour.
I glanced at Bai Wei, whose face was covered in blood. He stood there blankly, seemingly still reeling from the bloody scene.
I looked around, and Wang Ping, enduring the excruciating pain, looked at me and said, "Sihai, it's not safe here. Let's leave quickly."
I tried to stand up, but failed twice. I was so scared that my legs felt weak. I was also embarrassed to lose face in front of these people, so I looked at Wang Ping and sighed.
“It’s already so late, what good will it do to go back to the camp? I think we should just build a campfire around here and stay for the night. Besides, we’ve already killed the brown bear, are you really willing to just leave it here?”
After listening to me, Wang Ping thought for a while and seemed to agree with what I said. He gritted his teeth and remained silent.
I quickly looked at Xiao Qiang and Xu Wei, who were supporting me, and found that apart from their pale faces, these women were not injured.
I breathed a sigh of relief; I was glad they were alright.
Xiao Qiang's face was covered in tears, while Xu Wei didn't cry this time. However, she was trembling with fear, holding my hand without moving, as if she was also very scared.
I quickly comforted them and it took me a long time to regain my strength.
He got up and went to Chen Jian's side to check him over. He then discovered that Chen Jian had a large wound on his shoulder, but the bleeding had stopped. There was also green grass on the wound, which should be a hemostatic herb.
It looks like it was torn apart by a wild animal; the entire garment was ripped.
Chen Jian's face was deathly pale, and his eyes were closed, clearly indicating that he was unconscious.
Xu Wei glanced at Chen Jian, then turned to me and whispered that in the afternoon, after they had finished looking for the short-legged birds and dug up a lot of jicama, they were about to go back when they saw a brown bear rushing out of the woods.
At that moment, Liu Jiaojiao was standing not far from the brown bear. The brown bear's target was Liu Jiaojiao. Chen Jian was the first to spot her. He went crazy and rushed forward with a wooden stick, trying to rescue Liu Jiaojiao.
But who knew that Chen Jian was not as fast as the brown bear? After Chen Jian pounced on Liu Jiaojiao and pushed her down, he was slapped by the brown bear, leaving such a big wound on his back.
The brown bear then continued to chase them. They had guns, which startled the bear, but the bear was only afraid for a moment before it started attacking them again.
They were hiding and fleeing, which is why they haven't gone back yet.
Liu Jiaojiao stared at Chen Jian with a dark expression, remaining silent, seemingly lost in thought.
Xiao Qiang sighed, "I've already found some herbs nearby to apply to his wounds and given him some to eat, but whether they'll be effective or not, nobody knows. I think in this situation, it's best if we go back to the cave. After all, there are some anti-inflammatory medicines available there. Otherwise, if we keep dragging this out, I'm afraid Chen Jian won't be able to make it through the night."
