To my frozen hometown

Chapter 7 The most important thing between people is trust

"Ka Ka Ka..."

Accompanied by the sound of bullets being loaded, hundreds of gun barrels were erected on the snow-covered barrier, and the dark muzzles of the guns were covered with white snowflakes, silently facing the direction of the ice field.

The soldiers squatted aside, staring at the end of the snow hill with their eyes through the sights, until a sporadic figure appeared there.

About [-] wild wolves came out from behind the snow hill, their hair was messy, and they bowed their hungry stomachs, slowly approaching the wall of the greenhouse.

The bodies of these wild wolves are huge and abnormal, with the corners of their mouths grinning, showing pale teeth, and their pupils constricted, mixed with dark green light.Post-apocalyptic beasts are mostly crazier and more aggressive, and so are they.

On the white snow, the dark pack of wolves looked particularly eye-catching. They whimpered in an unpleasant voice. The hoarse and dry whimpers spread with the sound of the wind, as if they could reach the ears of the soldiers on the barrier.

On the greenhouse, the captain of the guard lowered his eyes, silently holding the handle of the knife with his waist hand.

The soldiers pressed their masked faces to the side of their rifles, watching the wild wolves gradually approaching, raised their frozen index fingers and pulled the trigger.

At the command of the captain of the guard, they will open fire.

And the volley of hundreds of rifles is enough to kill all the wolves, but this requires a distance, a suitable enough distance.

It must be admitted that the rifles in their hands have limited range and relatively insufficient damage.

This is an objective factor that cannot be ignored, because the sudden disaster caused a very serious fault in human technology.

The loss of civilization undoubtedly dimmed the light of this era.

As the wolves approached, their whimpering gradually turned into a muffled growl. These beasts seemed to smell the food, right behind the gray-black wall.

The pack of wolves began to be restless, and after a commotion, one of the largest wild wolves came out of the pack step by step with slow steps.

In addition to its black hair, its tips are also pale, as if its body is covered with a fine layer of white snow.

The shoulder height of this giant wolf is more than two meters high, and its body length is nearly five meters. It can be said that this size was completely unimaginable in the pre-disaster era, and even after the disaster, it can be regarded as a huge special case. up.

There was a bloodthirsty light under the pale green eyes, and the giant wolf grinned open its scarlet mouth, spitting out a white mist in the cold air.

Like a demonstration, it raised its head and let out a long roar: "Woo!!!"

This extremely penetrating whistling passed through the wind and spread in bursts.

The [-] or so wild wolves suddenly became excited, and they raised their heads together, echoing the roar, and let out their own howls.

"Wow!!"

On the snow field, the howling of wolves is enough to make most creatures tremble with fear.

But that doesn't include heavily armed humans.

The captain of the greenhouse guard on the wall pressed the brim of his hat, and then drew out the saber from his waist.

He stood in front of him with a slightly curved saber, reflecting his indifferent side face and his dark blue military uniform dotted with white snow.

"Get ready." The blade tilted slightly 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 get closer, and then let them come and go.

It's a pity that the giant wolf seemed to have seen his thoughts, and after howling, he didn't move any closer to the greenhouse.

Instead, he stood there with the pack of wolves, silently looking at the guard soldiers in the greenhouse as if mockingly.

asshole······

The captain of the greenhouse guard tightened his grip on the saber in his hand.

It is undeniable that after the mutation, the intelligence of these beasts has also been greatly improved.

They understand that it is pointless to attack the greenhouse at such a time.

So the wolves were ready to leave after a brief demonstration.

But just before they were about to leave, these beasts suddenly stopped together.

They poked their heads into the air, their nostrils fluttered, as if they smelled something, and their ears quivered, as if they heard something.

The soldiers' fingers rested on the trigger, and the captain of the greenhouse guard frowned slightly.

They all sensed that something was wrong, because behind the wolves, at the end of the snow field, there was another faint black figure.

The scout standing aside quickly raised his binoculars to look at the black shadow, and then his body froze there.

After a while, the Mr. Scout turned his head with a complicated expression, and said to the captain of the greenhouse guard.

"Sir, it seems that there are two travelers coming here on a motorcycle."

The two travelers approach the greenhouse at this time.

Hearing such news, the captain of the greenhouse guard's face suddenly turned extremely ugly.

Leaving aside why these two people were able to survive on the ice sheet, just getting close to the greenhouse at this time would be a dead end.

Twenty wild wolves could split them into bones and minced meat in an instant.

But it was too late, the speed of the snowmobile was not slow, and even without binoculars, the figures of those two people had already appeared in the eyes of the greenhouse guards.

Of course, they also appeared in the eyes of the wolves.

It was two figures, one big and one small, sitting on a snowmobile at this time, driving from the other side of the snow slope.

The big figure was wearing a brown-gray overcoat. She didn't seem to be wearing any clothes inside, even her belly was exposed. It was incredible that she didn't seem to feel any cold, but she was still driving the motorcycle smoothly.

And another small figure, from a distance, seems to be a child.

How could someone bring a child into the ice field? The captain of the greenhouse guard clenched his hands, and there was some anger in his eyes.

What is the difference between this approach and simply killing a child?

"Captain, what should we do?" A soldier who was aiming at the wolves on the wall 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 gritted his teeth.

"Fire a warning shot, let them leave quickly, and at the same time attract the attention of the wolves as much as possible!"

"Yes!"

The soldier on the barrier replied in a deep voice, and pulled the trigger forcefully.

"Bang!!" The tongue of fire spewed out, and an incomparably clear gunshot echoed over the snow field, and the smell of gunpowder mixed with white smoke escaped from the muzzle of the gun.

This gunshot really made the wolves panic, but how could the already hungry wild wolves give up the food that had already been delivered to them.

Their attention was not attracted by the guards in the barrier at all, and the pair of dark green pupils just stared at the two figures who were getting closer.

······

"Hoohoohoo."

On the moving motorcycle, the wind whistled incessantly in his ears, and Al pulled Liu Yuan's clothes and looked at the surrounding mountain greenhouse not far away, his eyes full of anticipation.

She knew her sister was there, as long as she got there, she could see her sister.

But as she got closer and closer to the greenhouse, she gradually saw a mass of black things surrounding the walls of the greenhouse.

And when she saw clearly what those things were, her face immediately lost all color.

It was a pack of wild wolves, baring their teeth, staring in the direction of her and Liu Yuan.

She has never seen so many wild wolves, or she has never seen a herd of beasts outside the greenhouse, but this does not affect her understanding of the danger and fatality.

Even if she had already tasted the good taste of these beasts.

"Liu Yuan." She looked at the person in front of her in a panic and asked, "What should we do?"

Liu Yuan's expression didn't change at all, just like when they first met, calm, 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.

Hearing Al's question, she just scratched her hair, and after a while, she glanced at the girl and asked.

"Just ask, do you trust me?"

Al froze for a moment, then nodded with his pale lips pursed.

Without Liu Yuan, she wouldn't be here at all.

She has only one relative, her sister, but right now, Liu 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 can be believed.

"Then close your eyes."

In the car, Liu Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, as if there were no wolves ahead, just a flat road.

"When I tell you to open it, you open it again."

Al was very nervous, but he closed his eyes obediently.

Just as the girl closed her eyes, warning shots sounded from the greenhouse, probably to signal them to leave.

But Liu Yuan just accelerated the speed of the snowmobile as if he had never heard of it, and continued to rush towards the wolves.

······

Looking at the two people on the hillside, instead of leaving when they heard the gunshots, they rushed towards the greenhouse even faster, the captain of the guard's face was extremely gloomy.

He didn't want to watch these two people die in the belly of wolves.

In this era, every human life is extremely important. This is not a question of interests, but a question of race continuation.

"Fire the gun again!"

Almost without thinking, the captain of the guard ordered again.

"boom!!"

Gunshots rang out again, but the snowmobile heading towards the greenhouse had no intention of changing direction at all, and even drove faster and faster.

Finally, under the gaze of the greenhouse guards, the two people on the motorcycle entered the predation range of the wolves.

Almost in an instant, a pack of wild wolves roared and rushed towards the two people on the snowmobile at the same time.

The one rushing to the front happens to be the biggest wild wolf. It is the wolf king of the wolf pack, so it naturally has the priority to enjoy the food.

The wolves didn't even regard this predation as a hunt, because in their minds, such a human had no ability to resist.

The wolves rushing up are all fighting for food.

But what happened afterwards was something that neither the wolves nor the greenhouse guards expected.

　Ahem, I have a question about the cover. This is a picture I found in the background. I thought it was cute and I used it. Don’t you guys think it’s cute? This cat is so long. (gesturing)
