Chapter 7: The most important thing between people is trust(1/2)
"Kakaka..."
Accompanied by the sound of bullets being loaded, hundreds of gun barrels were placed on the ramparts still covered with snow, their dark muzzles stained with white snowflakes, silently facing the direction of the ice field.
The soldiers squatted aside, staring at the end of the snow hill through the scope, until a scattered figure appeared there.
About twenty wild wolves walked out from behind the snow hills. Their fur was messy and their hungry stomachs were bowed, and they slowly approached the greenhouse wall.
These wild wolves have abnormally large bodies, grinning mouths, showing pale teeth, and shrunken pupils, mixed with a dark green light. Most of the wild beasts after the disaster have become crazier and more aggressive, and so have they.
On the pure white snow, the pitch-black wolves were particularly eye-catching. They whimpered in unpleasant voices. Their hoarse, dry whimpers spread with the sound of the wind, and seemed to be able to reach the ears of the soldiers on the barrier.
On the greenhouse, the guard captain lowered his eyes and silently grasped the handle of the knife with his hand on his waist.
The soldiers pressed their masked faces next to their rifles, watching the wolves approaching one by one, then raised their frozen index fingers and pressed the triggers.
As long as the captain of the guard gives the order, they will open fire.
A salvo of hundreds of rifles is enough to kill all the wolves, but this requires a distance, a suitable distance.
It must be admitted that the rifles in their hands have a very limited range and relatively insufficient damage.
This is an objective factor that cannot be ignored, because that sudden disaster caused a very serious fault in human science and technology.
The loss of civilization has undoubtedly made the light of this era appear even dimmer.
As the wolves approached, their whimpering sounds gradually turned into dull growls. These beasts seemed to smell the smell of food, just behind the gray-black wall.
The wolves began to become restless, and after a commotion, the largest wild wolf walked out from the pack step by step with slow steps.
In addition to its black hair, the tips of its hair are also a little pale, as if its body is covered with a layer of fine white snow.
This giant wolf is more than two meters tall at the shoulders and nearly five meters long. It can be said that this size was completely unimaginable in the pre-disaster era, and even after the disaster, it was already considered a huge exception.
.
With a bloodthirsty glare under its light green eyes, the giant wolf opened its scarlet mouth and spit out a piece of white mist in the cold air.
Just like a demonstration, it raised its head and let out a long roar: "Woo!!!"
This extremely penetrating roar passed through the sound of the wind and spread.
The more than twenty wild wolves suddenly became excited. They raised their heads together, echoed the roar, and let out their own howls.
"Woo!!"
On the snowy plains, the howling of wolves is enough to make most creatures feel frightened.
But this does not include fully armed humans.
The captain of the Greenhouse Guard on the rampart pressed the brim of his hat on his head, and then took out the saber from his waist.
He stood the slightly curved saber in front of him, reflecting his indifferent side face and his dark blue military uniform dotted with white snow.
"Get ready." The blade was slightly tilted towards the wolves.
The captain of the greenhouse guard lowered his eyes, as if he was looking at the giant wolf in the distance.
He was waiting, waiting for these beasts to come closer, and then let them come back without any return.
Unfortunately, the giant wolf seemed to have noticed his thoughts, and after letting out a howl, it didn't get any closer to the greenhouse.
Instead, he stood there with the wolves, as if sarcastically, silently sizing up the guard soldiers in the greenhouse.
asshole······
The captain of the greenhouse guard held the saber in his hand tighter.
It is undeniable that after the mutation, the intelligence of these beasts has also been greatly improved.
They understand that there is no point in attacking the greenhouse at this time.
So the wolves were ready to leave after a simple demonstration.
But just before they were about to leave, these beasts suddenly stopped together.
They raised their heads into the air, their nostrils fluttered as if they smelled something, and their ears twitched slightly as if they heard something.
The soldiers' fingers stayed on the trigger, and the captain of the Greenhouse Guard frowned slightly.
They all noticed something was wrong, because behind the wolves, at the end of the snowfield, another vague black shadow appeared.
The scout standing aside quickly raised the telescope in his hand and looked at the black shadow, and then his body froze there.
After a while, the scout turned his head with a complicated expression and said to the captain of the greenhouse guard.
"Sir, it seems there are two travelers driving a motorcycle coming this way."
Two travelers approached the greenhouse at this time.
Upon hearing such news, the Greenhouse Guard Captain's face suddenly became extremely sad.
Let’s not talk about why these two people were able to survive on the ice sheet. It’s just that approaching the greenhouse at this time would be a dead end.
Twenty wild wolves can eat them into bones and minced meat in an instant.
But it was too late. The speed of the snowmobile was not slow. Even without a telescope, the figures of the two men had already appeared in the eyes of the Greenhouse Guards.
Of course, they also appeared in the eyes of the wolves.
They were two figures, one big and one small, sitting on a snowmobile, driving from the other side of the snow slope.
The large figure was wearing a brown-gray coat, with no clothes underneath, and even her belly was exposed. Unbelievably, she didn't seem to feel any cold, and instead drove the motorcycle smoothly as usual.
And the other small figure, seen from a distance, seems to be a child.
How could someone bring a child into the ice field? The captain of the greenhouse guard tightened his hands and showed some anger in his eyes.
What is the difference between this approach and killing a child directly?
"Captain, what should we do?" A soldier who was aiming at the wolves on the barrier turned his head and asked the captain of the greenhouse guard.
The wolves were already ready to move. The captain of the greenhouse guard pondered for a while and said through gritted teeth.
"Fire a warning shot to tell them to leave quickly, and at the same time attract the attention of the wolves as much as possible!"
"yes!"
The soldier on the wall replied solemnly, and pulled the trigger hard.
"Bang!!" Flames spit out, and an extremely clear gunshot echoed over the snowy field. The smell of gunpowder mixed with traces of white smoke escaped from the muzzle of the gun.
This gunshot did make the wolves panic, but how could the already hungry wild wolves give up the food that had been delivered to them?
Their attention was not attracted by the guards in the barrier at all, their green pupils just stared at the two figures who were getting closer and closer.
······
"Huhuhu."
On the moving motorcycle, the wind howled in his ears. Al held Yanagihara by the corner of his clothes and looked at the Huanshan Greenhouse not far away, his eyes filled with anticipation.
She knew her sister was there, and as long as she got there, she could see her sister.
But as she got closer to the greenhouse, she gradually saw a dark mass surrounding the walls of the greenhouse.
And when she saw clearly what those things were, her face suddenly lost all color.
It was a group of wild wolves, staring in the direction of her and Liuyuan with their teeth bared.
She had never seen so many wild wolves, or she had never seen a herd of beasts outside the greenhouse, but this did not affect her understanding of the danger and fatality involved.
Even though she had already tasted the deliciousness of these beasts.
"Liuyuan." She looked at the person in front of her in panic and asked, "What should we do?"
Yanagi Yuan's expression did not change at all, just like when they first met, calm, but also a little tired and relaxed.
She obviously noticed the wolves, which made her a little dissatisfied, but she didn't seem to show any panic or fear.
After hearing Al's question, she just scratched her hair for a while, then glanced at the girl and asked.
"Let me ask you, do you believe me?"
Al was stunned for a moment, then pursed his white lips and nodded.
Without Liuyuan, she wouldn't be able to get here.
She only has her sister as a relative, but right now, Yanagi Yuan is the only person she can trust.
And I don’t know why, but the words of this wanderer always seem to have a magical power that makes people believe.
"Then close your eyes."
In the car, Liuyuan shrugged his shoulders and said, as if there were no wolves in front of him, it was just a flat road.
"When I tell you to open it, open it again."
Al was very nervous, but he still closed his eyes obediently.
Just as the girl closed her eyes, warning shots rang out from the greenhouse, probably to signal them to leave.
Yanagihara, however, just speeded up the snowmobile as if he hadn't heard anything and continued to rush towards the wolves.
