Chapter 519: Encountering Wolves (Part I)

"Zhang San, didn't you say that the rain won't last long?" I asked impatiently. This is still the intersection of late winter and early spring, and the rain can fall like this, so it would be strange if it didn't flood in the summer.

"I'm weird too." Zhang San was a little worried: "According to the previous practice, the rain should stop for a few minutes." But this time there was something unusual, and it had been raining for almost half an hour. I've never been in this situation before! ”

"This can't be another ghost of the Xiong family, right?" Lin Zhiyan speculated.

"How is that possible?" I scoffed: "The forces of nature are not controllable by any one creature on earth. Until now, humans have not been able to do it! I'm afraid it's a coincidence. We were unlucky and happened to run into it. ”

Either way, you still have to wait for the rain to stop before you can continue walking. However, I waited for more than three hours. It wasn't until 7 p.m., when it was almost dark, that the rain stopped completely.

However, the road could not continue to rush, so I had to set up camp. Zhang San went to the forest to collect some firewood and came back, while I set up a tent outside of it, and then set up the firewood and sprinkled some gasoline on the side, and the bonfire was finally lit.

After some simple portable food but dinner, the three of us took out the map and checked it, reconfirmed tomorrow's itinerary, and then went back to our respective tents to sleep and rest.

When preparing the equipment, Lin Zhiyan insisted on renting only two. She wanted me to live with Zhang San. I understand this, that the child-faced old woman is prejudiced against the cheeky old man, and she is very distrustful.

I don't know how long I slept like this, but suddenly, a wolf howl came from not far away.

All three of us woke up at the same time.

"What's going on?" I rubbed my sleepy eyes and asked in a daze.

"There are wolves." Zhang San rolled over and touched the submachine gun in his hand.

At the same time, Lin Zhiyan also opened our tent and swiped "The wolf is coming." ”

I finally came to my senses, and immediately got up, quickly pulled over the map, looked at it, and whispered, "No, how is it possible, this is not the area of influence of the wolves at all." ”

"But now wolves do come." Lin Zhiyan glanced out.

About a kilometer outside the tent, the wolf's roar was indeed constantly heard. And more and more, closer and closer. The wolves were roaring incessantly, as if they were wailing desperately, and as if they were resisting something.

"Could it be that the rain this afternoon was so heavy that it affected the mountain and collapsed the place where the wolves had gathered? That's why they're moving here? "I pondered the map.

"Look at the. The wolves are going to come and bite your ass. Lin Zhiyan tore off the map under my nose and yelled loudly. This woman is not afraid to lure the wolf over.

"No matter, Zhang San, how much gasoline do we have left?" I looked up and asked.

"And about fifteen kilograms." He thought about it. Gasoline was also one of the items I insisted on bringing with me, and now it seems that I did bring the right ones.

"Enough. You go and fence the camp with firewood you have collected in the afternoon, and then sprinkle gasoline on the wood. "I got out of the tent" If the wolves come and light a fire, keep the wolves out of the camp as much as possible. We shot with submachine guns in the ring of fire. The wolf is afraid of fire, and it shouldn't be long before he gets away from us. ”

Zhang San responded and took action.

Lin Zhiyan and I glanced at each other, and I smiled bitterly, "Today is really unlucky, whether it is a rainstorm that is rare in a thousand years or a wolf pack that is forced to relocate, I have actually encountered it." ”

The wolves, perhaps smelling human flesh, kept moving closer to our campsite. Not long after, we saw the wolf's head in the jungle not far away. The wolf glowed gray in the moonlight, and its eyes glowed green, which was very scary. This was the first time I had seen a live wolf outside of a zoo, and I was a little touched.

As soon as the wolf showed its head, it was shot by Zhang San and his head was broken.

"Good marksmanship!" I yelled at him.

After a while, more and more wolves came, and some guns couldn't kill them.

"Ignition." I shouted loudly without hesitation.

Lin Zhiyan immediately threw the lighter into the pyre. The damp wood burned violently because of the gasoline fueling, and the raging fire effectively cut off the distance between man and wolf.

"Save bullets and try to shoot as much as possible." Zhang San shouted.

The wolves roared sharply, they didn't seem to be as afraid of fire as the legend has it, and some wolves even broke through the defense of the guns and plunged headlong into the fire. The flames licked the wolf's body fiercely and mercilessly, and the wolf stained with gasoline rolled wildly on the ground, howling desperately.

And the wolf who was shot did not even have the right to wail, and died directly. But the creatures, which were classified as endangered by the CITES of the Washington Convention in 1997, have not diminished in the slightest, frantically rushing out of the woods and rushing towards the fire. As the saying goes, tigers fear wolves, and bloodthirsty wolves make all the behemoths of nature shudder. Under their siege in turn, even the king of beasts could not be spared.

I shot and killed about 200 wolves, and I couldn't help it, "These ghosts are endless, old woman, didn't you tell me that there are only more than 200 wolves gathered here, why is it still like there is no end to it?" ”

"How do I know that you should ask the people who are going to ask the statistics, I just read some official reports in Lingshan City." Lin Zhiyan impatiently raised her gun and killed a wolf that pounced on her.

"Cut, the official report killed someone!" I was extremely depressed, and I knew that I would have prepared more weapons and ammunition.

Zhang San frowned and said, "It's weird, although wolves are extremely social species. However, the average number of wolves in the country is between 5 and 12, although it can reach about 40 at most in the cold in winter, but more than 100 wolves, which is simply amazing in China! ”

"This pack is probably made up of dozens of wolf packs." I looked deeper into the woods.

"But how do they solve the problem of the wolf king?" Zhang San shot another one, "Each tribe of Rand wolves is usually led by a dominant pair. They are territorial, and usually have their range, which decreases as the number of individuals in the group increases. The range of the field between the packs generally does not overlap, and even when two packs of wolves meet, they will also announce the range to the other packs with a howl. It's all too rare for such a large pack of wolves, do they sense some kind of threat? ”

"How do I know, I'm not a 114 inquiry desk." I refuted it angrily.

"Hey, you see, the wolves in the woods seem to be behaving strangely!" Lin Zhiyan suddenly interrupted us and pointed not far away.

I saw that there were still wolves rushing towards them, but there were many fewer of them, and with a low howl, I seemed to see some wolves doing something in the woods.

I took out my binoculars and looked, because it was midnight, the light was not good, and I could only vaguely see a large number of wolves desperately grabbing the dirt on the ground with their front paws, and even a large mound had formed behind them.

"Damn, I forgot that wolves burrow." I am terrified that when the young wolves grow up, they will stay in the nest to take care of their younger siblings, and they may also inherit the dominant position in the group, while most of the male wolves will migrate out to breed and use the nest once they have reproduced. And that nest is usually made by digging holes in the ground, and an adult male wolf can quickly dig a tunnel three or four meters long, not to mention this group of wolves who don't know how many hundred.

The woods where the wolves burrow are only more than ten meters away from the camp, which is not far for wolves who are good at burrowing.

I shouted anxiously, "Zhang San, old woman, give me some attention." Those damn wolves probably won't be able to break through the fire, and they're ready to dig holes to get in. ”

"What!" Zhang San and Lin Zhiyan were taken aback.

"Don't worry about that, just see a wolf popping up and pouring gasoline into me." I commanded, "Zhang San, how much gasoline do we have left?" ”

"Not much!" He carried the gasoline drum in his hand, frowning, "There are less than four kilograms left." ”

"So little!" I smiled wryly. It seems that only one step is one step.

It didn't take long for a wolf to come out of the hole dug in the camp, Zhang San shot it to death, kicked the wolf's corpse into the hole with one kick, and then poured some gasoline and threw some wood on fire. Immediately the fire burst out of the hole, and from the hole came the heart-rending cry of the wolf before he died.

Zhang San was responsible for cleaning up the wolves inside, and the old woman shot at the wolves outside the fire. See if there is any desperate impact on the fire, as soon as you get close to the fire, kill it immediately. I said again. The fires around us now are the only way to survive, and the wolves that dig in are easy to deal with, but if the wolves break through the wall of fire, we are probably dead.

But I miscalculated, the wolf king is very smart, he commands the wolves, and he doesn't just dig a hole. It was only when several wolves suddenly appeared in the campsite and pounced on me that I realized my mistake. The wolf's eyes shimmered with a faint green light, staring at me, their teeth bared, drooling as if they were approaching me.

I calmly threw the submachine gun into the burst position, and with a burst of fire, the wolf screamed a few times, and all of them fell to the ground in pain.

"Who is shooting randomly, almost hitting the old lady." On the opposite side, Lin Zhi's voice was extremely corrupt.

Zhang Sanyi took out the machete used to open the mountain, which was more than one meter long, and shouted loudly, "The wolves inside try to cut with knives, the camp is too small, and it is easy to injure their own people by mistake." ”

After saying that, he cut down a gray wolf that pounced on him, and the knife hit the wolf's neck, and the wolf actually gave up after a few convulsions.
