As torches were lit one by one, the wolves indeed began to retreat in the bright firelight.
Lin Qingyuan was also surprised to receive the torch.
Such torches are sold in the city, costing one hundred coins each.
They were mostly carried by caravans on the road, and not just anyone could buy them.
There is such a thing, which is a life-saving treasure in special times!
Torches are not rare; they can be bought with some money and effort. The key question is, where did Miss Song get them from?
The cart was still surrounded by wolves, and there wasn't much room left inside the house.
At this moment, everyone else's attention was focused on the torches, and they did not notice Song Liyun's side.
Song Liyun had already strode forward, looking at the pack of wolves in front of her without any fear, as if those baring their white teeth were not ferocious beasts.
Song Dekui was both surprised and delighted, knowing that Song Liyun was going to deal with these wild things.
He dashed over to Song Liyun's side, waving the torch he was holding in front of him, pretending to scare the wolf pack.
"Xiaoyun, what are you doing?"
Song Liyun said calmly, "These things are really annoying. They even dare to bite my wall. I'll chase them away right now!"
She was inside applying medicine and bandaging Zhemao's wounds and had no time to look outside.
These wolves looked fierce, but in Song Liyun's eyes, they were no different from domestic dogs.
In the apocalypse, wolves are as tall as a person and have a bite force comparable to a tiger.
Upon hearing Song Liyun mention chasing away the wolves, Balin, who had already followed with a knife and torch in hand, said, "Miss Song, these torches are not enough."
Wild animals are afraid of fire, so using torches to chase away wolves is effective. Although Balin doesn't know where Song Liyun got these torches wrapped in cotton and soaked in oil, a dozen or so torches alone are not enough to make the wolf pack retreat.
Song Liyun said, "Torchlights are for lighting, not for driving away wolves." As she spoke, she continued walking into the wolf pack without stopping.
Bahrain:"……?"
What kind of wolf-repelling method is that? Are you going to fight the wolves head-on with a torch?
Seeing that Song Liyun and Song Dekui had actually walked into the wolf pack, he gritted his teeth and followed behind.
At this moment, three audacious humans walked into the wolf pack's encirclement.
In the torchlight, the wolf was bewildered by the people who suddenly approached.
Song Liyun's imposing aura, along with the two blazing torches, deterred them from attacking.
Instead, they retreated warily, on guard against human attacks.
Wild animals love to chase fleeing prey; the more terrified the prey, the more their hunting instincts are aroused.
But they were not willing to be so arrogantly provoked by humans, so they lowered their bodies and growled, assuming an attack stance.
Song Dekui, his legs trembling, joined Balin in waving torches, trying to scare the wolves away.
On the other side, Lin Qingyuan and the others also waved torches to drive away the wolves.
Lin Qingyuan shouted loudly, "What are you doing? There are wolves over there! Come back right now!"
But Song Liyun and the others completely ignored him.
The people from the Balinese tribe also wanted to come, but Zhemao was injured, and the other three dared not abandon him.
The wolf pack abandoned the people at the prefab house and followed Song Liyun out, a dark mass that looked terrifying.
Although the pressure on Lin Qingyuan's side was greatly reduced, he was still unable to rush over, and he was so anxious that he stomped his feet.
Watching Song Liyun's torch disappear into the distance, the guard Lao Qian whispered, "Young Master, has Steward Song abandoned you and run away? This kind of woman is not someone you can share joys and sorrows with. Young Master, you should see through her and stay away as soon as possible!"
Although everyone has gotten along well these past few days, Song Liyun and her nephew abandoned everyone and ran away alone in times of crisis. Such people are not worth getting close to.
Hearing his guard say such foolish things, Lin Qingyuan said angrily, "Old Qian, what kind of nonsense is that in your head? There are wolves all around. Who would light a fire and run away in the middle of the night? Besides, we're safer with more people. What good is it for us if Manager Song dies?"
Old Qian bulged his eyes but couldn't say anything. He just felt that Song Liyun must have been terrified and wanted to escape by running towards the pile of rocks and grass.
Lin Qingyuan snorted angrily!
Old Qian was good at martial arts, but he only grew muscles and not brains. However, he was just protecting his master when he said that, so Lin Qingyuan didn't take it to heart.
But he didn't dare follow her out. He only had one life, and he didn't know what Song Liyun was planning. He couldn't possibly go and die with her.
As Song Liyun moved away from the prefab house, the wolves on that side were all attracted there, and the three of them were completely surrounded by the wolf pack.
Song Dekui and Balin stood back to back, protecting Song Liyun.
Song Dekui looked at the wild wolf that was only a few meters away from him, feeling both excited and scared.
Too close!
He was so close that he could see the scarlet tongue inside the wolf's gaping maw and smell the nauseating stench emanating from it.
This is so exciting!
Even though Bahrain had dealt with wolves for half his life, he had never been surrounded by so many wolves before. The eerie green eyes around him sent chills down his spine.
He still doesn't understand why Miss Song came here.
A wolf tentatively approached the three of them, as if it could pounce on their faces with a single leap.
Song Dekui brandished the torch, shouting, "Get out of here, you damned beast!"
Bahrain's face darkened, and regret was inevitable, but this was not something anyone had deliberately caused.
His anger was useless; he could only glare fiercely at the pack of wolves that had been lured over and were now almost touching him.
He swore that this was the most wolves he had ever seen in his life, and if his group fell into their jaws, they would be nothing but bones by tomorrow.
Song Liyun looked at the wolf pack that had gathered around her. They were far enough away; if they dragged this out any longer, something bad might really happen.
She said to Song Dekui and Balin, "No matter what you hear or see, don't be afraid. Just stand here."
"Great!" Song Dekui exclaimed excitedly, not knowing what magical treasure Song Liyun was going to take out.
Bahrain, looking bewildered, asked: "What does 'don't be afraid' mean?"
With a flick of her wrist, Song Liyun released a small, shiny black object into her palm.
Song Dekui's eyes lit up immediately: What is this thing?
In his excitement, he almost dropped the torch. He frantically grabbed at it several times before it hit the ground.
Song Dekui's actions drew glares from Song Liyun and Balin: What's going on now? Why are you still being so clumsy?
Song Dekui was also shocked, patting his chest and saying, "Oh my god! If the torch had fallen, I would have been carried off by wolves. Luckily, that scoundrel Lin wasn't here..."
Before he could finish speaking, Song Liyun shouted, "You beast, get out of here!"
In the darkness, a wolf saw Song Dekui's torch fall and tried to ambush him, pouncing on him.
Song Liyun moved with lightning speed, kicking the wolf in the waist. The wolf howled and flew out of the air.
The wolf pack instantly stirred and charged toward the three.
At the same time, the black object in Song Liyun's hand was also switched on, and a low buzzing sound rang out.
The sound made Song Dekui and Balin frown. Although the sound was unpleasant and made them feel inexplicably uneasy, it was still within their tolerance.
But what happened before their eyes left them speechless with astonishment.
