Chapter 21: Encounter with Wolf Pack

  Su Qing sensed something was off and opened her eyes vigilantly. Her first reaction was to release her divine sense, observing what had happened and whether her brother Su Chen was safe. Green eyes, so many of them. Su Qing's first thought was: Not good, wolf pack. Realizing the severity of the situation, Su Qing didn't dare to delay for a moment.

  A dense pack of wolves, thirty or forty in number, was gathering and danger was slowly approaching.

  Guo Wenjiao, who lived in the same tent, got up and put on her clothes, ready to crawl out. Su Qing grabbed her arm.

  "What's the point of pulling me, go out and see what happened?" Guo Wenjiao didn't understand why Su Qing was holding onto her. Judging from the noise outside, something must have happened, and she had to go take a look.

  Su Qing didn't respond, turned around and picked up two guns from the ground. She handed one to Guo Wenjiao, "Take a gun."

  "I had forgotten about it, thanks." Guo Wenjiao smiled and took over the gun.

  As the two walked out of the tent, the scene in front of them stunned them. A pack of wolves with piercing eyes surrounded the people who were scattered around, apparently having been encircled the moment they left the tent. Only a few people held guns or daggers in their hands, while the rest had nothing.

  They say humans are the smartest animals, but this pack of wolves is not stupid at all. The boys who rushed out of their tent without bringing any weapons just to take a look at the situation have become the target of the wolf pack. There was no chance for anyone to go back to the tent to get their weapons. These proud sons of heaven, future pillars of the nation, are now facing such a scene and saying they're not afraid is a lie.

  "Su Qing, be careful." At this moment, Su Chen's heart was in a mess, watching his sister being in danger but unable to get to her side to protect her. It turned out that just as the two girls were stunned for an instant, a small pack of wolves had approached and surrounded Su Qing and the other girl in the middle.

  Everyone is in danger now, with their lives at risk at any moment. People nearby are gathering together, those with guns are aiming at the target, those with knives are gripping the handle tightly, and the rest are being protected in the middle. Now many people are regretting not bringing a gun with them. Even if they're not skilled enough to be out of this world, at least they could have killed a few wolves. Now it's too late, all they can do is defend themselves with their knives or stare blankly ahead. The few who brought guns are also very nervous, some people's hands have already started shaking.

  Guo Wenjiao looked at the small circle of wolves surrounding her, turned her head and solemnly said thank you to Su Qing. This thank you came from the heart and was also heavy, if it wasn't for Su Qing holding her back, her hands would definitely be empty now. Guo Wenjiao's fighting skills were not bad, but her ability to fight wolves bare-handed was non-existent. If she didn't have a gun in her hand, she would be wolf food by now.

  Quiet, surprisingly quiet.

  The two sides facing each other are both looking for an opportunity, but their goals are exactly opposite.

  "I'll count to three, and everyone will rush out of their encirclement towards the center." This is how they usually do it, waiting for the wolf pack to slowly shrink its encirclement. It's better to take the initiative instead. No, it should be taking the initiative against the wolves. Su Chen decisively proposed a suggestion, which can also be considered an order.

  Su Qing and Guo Wenjiao stood back to back, waiting for the order. At this moment, they had no choice but to stake everything on one throw, while others were also preparing to kill the wolf with all their might.

  With a loud bang, at the moment of uttering three words, Su Qing used the gun in her hand to shoot and kill a wolf, hitting it right between the eyes.

  Gunfire erupted afterwards, each searching for targets to kill, attempting to break out of the encirclement.

  Su Qing and the other person moved together, each responsible for half of the circular target. Every bullet was aimed at a specific target, with the clear intention of taking it down with one shot. At this moment, everyone was resentful in their hearts, wondering why the instructor was so stingy with only ten bullets per person. If they had machine guns and sufficient ammunition, they could just mow down the wolf pack with a burst of fire, and the problem would be solved.

  Su Qing fired slowly while approaching other team members, on the other hand, covering the entire battlefield with her divine sense. She noticed every wolf's movement and the situation of each member, so that she could help in times of crisis. Especially Su Chen's condition, his own brother was so painful, Su Qing couldn't bear to let him get hurt. The siblings were equally concerned about each other, and Su Chen would occasionally glance in Su Qing's direction. Seeing his sister responding calmly and safely, Su Chen felt slightly relieved.

  "On the left, they're rushing over! Ming Yu, fire quickly!"

  "Be careful yourself, don't become a wolf's snack."

  "Yu Xi, aim carefully before shooting, we don't have many bullets."

  "Zhou Yang, watch your back."

  "Everyone gather together quickly, act fast."

  "Don't feed the wolf and protect yourself well. The dagger in Dong Jinyang's hand is not for decoration."

  Wave after wave of wolves rushed up, but Su Qing and the others' limited bullets were about to run out. Moreover, in this tense and chaotic situation, everyone's accuracy had decreased a lot. Many bullets were fired, but either missed or only injured the wolves. Everyone's mood became increasingly anxious and irritable.

  "Zhou Rui, danger, get out of the way quickly." Zhou Yang's heart was about to jump out of his throat, a wolf was about to pounce on his younger brother.

  With a loud bang, Su Qing fired the last bullet in the chamber.

  Zhou Rui heard the warning from his subconscious and turned around, only to see the wolf's body already airborne and pouncing towards him. Zhou Rui's first reaction was that he was a goner, and he froze in fear. Just as all hope seemed lost, he felt a gust of wind brush past his ear, and then the wolf fell to the ground right before his eyes with a thud.

  Zhou Rui felt like he had narrowly escaped death, and Zhou Yang's hanging heart was slightly put at ease.

  After much effort, everyone finally gathered together. Although a few people were injured, fortunately the situation was not very serious. Now the most worrying thing is that there are only a few bullets left, but there are still many wolves.

  Several people were injured, with some being clawed and bitten by the wolf pack. Fortunately, the wounded were not too seriously hurt and were protected in the middle to prevent further injury. Those with guns stood on the outside and shot at the wolves that pounced on them. Su Qing knew her gun was out of bullets, but she also stood on the outside. Su Qing quietly picked up two stones from the ground and fired them at the wolves, killing them. Su Qing's disguise was very good, and no one discovered it.

  Before long, the remaining bullets were all used up. The wolf pack seemed to have discovered something and stopped attacking, only surrounding everyone in the middle, slowly shrinking the encirclement at a speed that was almost imperceptible. Everyone was trapped but couldn't find an effective way to save themselves.

  Su Qing had the ability to make the wolf pack disappear or die instantly, and she could just put them away in her space. However, doing so would expose herself, and others would think of her as a monster. If certain people or organizations found out and treated her as a test subject for research, it would be terrible. Even if she could erase the memories of those involved afterwards, Su Qing wouldn't take the risk unless absolutely necessary.

  Took an overnight train and froze to death. Back home with a high fever for two days, feeling a bit better today. Sorry for not updating the past few days. Apologies to everyone. Hope you all continue to support me.
