Chapter 199: Wolf Siege
Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Wolf Siege
Zhang Kaiyang had Song Yi keep watch for the first half of the night; the latter half was the most taxing.
Jhiang Yuan didn’t sleep either, leaning against Ye Mianmian.
"You know Sister Qin, how is she so formidable? She’s like a gang leader in the movies."
"Yeah, she does seem very powerful.
But since so many people obey her, she must be ruthless; otherwise, she couldn’t keep that group under control."
Ye Mianmian felt the same and quickly agreed, "Exactly, you see how fierce they are, their combat strength is also strong, but they especially respect her.
By the way, Brother Song, she even wanted you to stay, she must have noticed your skills too."
"Of course, our Brother Song might be okay as a leader, but serving as her underling, that’s out of the question..."
Zhang Kaiyang was invigorated; his admiration for Song Yi had reached an unparalleled level.
"However, I must say, that little girl with Sister Qin previously, she really is impressive."
"Exactly, I was terrified at the time, such strength.
She only looked about fourteen or fifteen. Amazing!"
Song Yi listened to everyone’s discussion and added another chair leg to the fire.
"I think she might be in charge of the front-line issues, the real boss behind the scenes, I guess, must be someone else."
"Why do you say that, Brother Song, what did you find?"
Song Yi just shook his head and said no more, and Zhang Kaiyang didn’t want to further frustrate himself by asking too much.
It was already past nine o’clock; several of them began to rest their eyes and feign sleep.
The warm fire made Jhiang Yuan somewhat uncomfortable; although it was warm, she felt uneasy.
Somewhat drowsy, she managed to fall asleep.
But it was particularly restless.
"Whoo-whoo-whoo..."
Her heart skipped a beat and Ye Mianmian woke up startled.
"Sister Yuan..."
"Shh..."
Song Yi was already up and quietly moved toward the shutter door.
Zhang Kaiyang hurriedly followed, having agreed to take over the night watch in the latter half; but seeing Song Yi sleeping soundly, he hadn’t called him.
Now, they hurried over to the shutter door.
Just as they approached, the shutter door was violently struck, creating a terrifying clattering sound.
Ye Mianmian’s sleepiness vanished in fright, and the two girls quickly got up.
They took out their weapons, ready for a fight.
The banging continued, growing more and more ferocious.
What kind of person would try to get in without opening the door and instead use such force to bang on it?
Although they didn’t understand, they dared not let their guard down.
Song Yi had already drawn his short sword and nodded at Zhang Kaiyang, who then slightly opened the shutter door.
"Oh my god!"
A dog had run in, very fast, looking fierce like a wolf-dog.
And as soon as it entered, it saw Ye Mianmian and Jhiang Yuan and launched an attack.
With a swift motion, it charged toward them.
Jhiang Yuan, standing behind Ye Mianmian, quickly raised her Tang Sword and instinctively stabbed downward.
The dog, running too fast to stop, inadvertently got scratched by Jhiang Yuan.
Song Yi, frightened, also rushed over and struck down with his sword.
The dog was nearly split sideways; blood instantly splattered.
"Oh my god..."
Zhang Kaiyang exclaimed because behind it, four more dogs had entered, appearing to be of the same breed.
They immediately surrounded him and launched a fierce attack.
Frightened, he jumped back to the side of the fire, and unexpectedly, the dogs halted.
Jhiang Yuan, unsure if they were afraid of the flames, tentatively picked up a flaming chair leg.
Indeed, the dogs backed away slightly.
Now, the four people and four dogs faced each other with a fire between them.
The first one that came in just now probably won’t survive either.
Ye Mianmian and Zhang Kaiyang also picked up torches and started waving them...
Song Yi seized the opportunity and fired two sleeve arrows in quick succession, both hitting their marks.
One struck the neck, and another, though more cautious, jumped but still injured its front leg.
Jhiang Yuan quickly swung her torch, forcing the three dogs to back away.
She thought it was a good strategy, so she pulled Ye Mianmian to join her.
With a torch in her left hand and a Tang Sword in her right, she slowly advanced.
Indeed, these dogs were no fools and retreated step by step.
Seeing the chance, Song Yi, along with Zhang Kaiyang, quickly pulled down the rolling shutter door from the left and right.
Since the lock was on the outside, they could only pull it down.
The pack of dogs probably wouldn’t be able to open it.
The group was still shaken, and the two men kept watch by the side.
Jhiang Yuan gathered her courage and ran over to check on the second dog.
Though it had been hit by an arrow, it wasn’t dead yet.
She quickly finished it off with a knife, feeling it was immoral, but they were trying to kill these people!
In the apocalypse, even mankind’s friends were no longer reliable.
This pack of dogs had survived so long and none were skinny, which meant they must have harmed many people.
"My God, why have so many dogs suddenly appeared?"
"They’re not dogs, they’re wolves..."
"What?"
The rest of them were stunned. Wolves, although it was a suburban area, it wasn’t a deserted place.
How could a wolf pack come out?
"Brother Song, did you see it wrong? Those big ears, they definitely look like dogs, wolf dogs!"
"They are wolves. Didn’t you hear that they weren’t barking?"
Uh, that’s true...
"These wolves are probably from the mountains, there are plenty of deep forests around here.
They probably turned against humans because they had nothing to eat.
Moreover, they’ll probably wait at the door for us to come out."
"My God, what do we do then? Are we trapped here?"
"If they don’t attack in the second half of the night, let’s wait until dawn!"
It was already 2 a.m., and waiting for daylight would take at least six more hours.
It got dark early these days and light late, many things had changed.
"Right, at dawn, even wolves have things they’re wary of.
This village is not small, it can’t be possible that there’s not a single living person.
These plump wolves would definitely tempt some eyes.
If they’ve survived this long, they aren’t foolish..."
"So, if we can make it till dawn, we still have a glimmer of hope."
"Yes!"
The four people fell silent, now afraid that the wolves, feeling too cold, might attack sooner.
For some reason, they hadn’t been particularly afraid when they thought they were facing dogs.
Now that they knew they were wolves, it felt terrifying.
Zhang Kaiyang swallowed hard, Ye Mianmian also shivered.
All four were frightened; this couldn’t go on.
"Should we add more fire?"
Jhiang Yuan posed the soul-searching question. Not to would be too cold.
Moreover, it would remove something they feared.
If they really waited to start a fire when an attack began, it would be too late.
Adding fire now would mean, with the roller door pulled down, this enclosed space could easily lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.
It truly was a dilemma, especially since there wasn’t even a single window here.
