Chapter 285: Chapter 285: Encounter with the Wolf Pack in Blizzard

"Long time no see, didn’t expect to meet again so soon. What does this suggest? The arrangements of fate, destiny is so strange," lu Yi spoke in such a peculiar way that it almost frustrated Ning Qi, who had a look of terror on her face. "Please, it’s not the time for jokes right now," she replied.

"What happened?" Gu Fan noticed Deng Wenming assisting his injured brother, Deng Wenli, who seemed to have been wounded.

"We just encountered a pack of wolves; they’ve been following us," Hu Bo said hastily.

"I can’t believe it, it’s like we’re cursed." Jie and Xu Haowen exchanged bitter looks, feeling as if they were bound to run into trouble.

Old man Tian roared: "What are you scared of? Just take out what I put in your backpack."

Upon hearing his words, Gu Fan, Su Hui, and others began pulling out a bag from their backpacks. The bags were not heavy, these were what old man Tian forcefully asked everyone to bring before departure, saying they could save their lives in critical moments.

When Gu Fan took a look at the item, he found it was something resembled a motorcycle helmet, but it was slightly different. This helmet split open on the sides, unlike a ordinary helmet which would be slipped on from the bottom, and it had a section to protect the neck.

Ouyang Jin had already put on his helmet and shouted: "What are you waiting for? Put it on quickly."

Everyone quickly wore their helmets, instantly feeling a sense of protection. Yes, these were specially made by Old man Tian. According to his thought process, if they encountered a pack of wolves, a few shotguns might not necessarily be useful. Besides offense, they had to have defense.

Generally speaking, wolves aim for the neck to cause fatal damage. This helmet safeguarded the head and neck, maximizing the chances of remaining unharmed.

After Gu Fan put it on, he gave it a feel. It seemed sturdy enough to withstand a wolf’s sharp teeth and claws. With their defense resolved, they now had to focus on their attack strategy.

Seeing that Gu Fan and the others had such practical gear, Ning Qi and Hu Bo couldn’t help but feel envious.

Gu Fan also noticed that Hu Bo’s girlfriend, Kang Rong, held a shotgun in her trembling hands amidst the chill. The gun belonged to Deng Wenli, but since he was injured, he couldn’t shoot, so Kang Rong temporarily held onto it. But it looked like she didn’t know how to use it either, so the gun seemed going wasted in her hands.

"Let us use the gun." After saying this, Gu Fan took the gun from Kang Rong and handed it Su Hui, who was the strongest among them.

Kang Rong was already in a state of panic and didn’t know what to do, so she let Gu Fan take away the shotgun. Then, she turned around to look at Hu Bo, wondering what his opinion about this would be.

Hu Bo didn’t mind. Having one more person make use of the shotgun is a good thing as long as it returned later. But there was another concern - did Su Hui know how to use a shotgun?

"It isn’t a good weapon, but it will do," Su Hui put her crossbow on her back, raised the shotgun, and aimed at the snow storm ahead. Her posture exuded a compelling aura that made Hu Bo question how she was more professional than him.

Zhuo Hang stepped up to Deng Wenming and said, "Give me the gun, you take care of your brother, and I’ll protect you." With that, Zhuo Hang took the shotgun from Deng Wenming.

Initially, Deng Wenming was reluctant to let go because the shotgun was the only life-saving tool for him and his brother.

However, Zhuo Hang responded calmly, "What can you do with one shotgun if a true danger arises?"

"Well..." Deng Wenming hesitated for a moment, and before he knew it, his shotgun was taken by Zhuo Hang.

Zhuo Hang held the gun, stood shoulder to shoulder with Su Hui, aiming at the snow storm. "Should we have a little contest to see who has a more accurate aim?" he proposed with interest.

"Sure, but let me tell you beforehand, you are going to lose," Su Hui replied with a smile, being spurred on by his challenge.

Gu Fan didn’t linger on their banter: "You two keep guard while we can finally move on."

Under the lead of Old man Tian, everyone began to pick up their pace, striding through the snowstorm and knife-like wind. Old man Tian knew that once they drew the attention of a pack of wolves, escaping wouldn’t be easy.

"Hang in there, little brother. We’ll be in a safe place soon, just hang in there." Deng Wenming grew anxious, seeing his brother’s ashen face and injuries, especially under such harsh conditions.

Lu Yi said, "I remember our paths were supposed to be different. How did you end up being forced onto ours by the pack of wolves?"

Hu Bo quickly scanned the surroundings for threats before replying: "In the beginning, we should have been far from you guys but the number of wolves we encountered was overwhelming. No matter where we ran, we bumped into more of them, so we had no choice but to move towards your group. We hope you would not mind that we’ve brought the pack of wolves here, we really had no choice."

Jie immediately replied, "What are you talking about? How could we blame you? Now’s the time for us to work together to overcome this crisis."

"That’s right, well said." Ning Qi fully agreed with this sentiment. In fact, they desperately needed the help of Gu Fan and his team. They had previously been unable to breathe due to the relentless pursuit of the wolf pack, and Deng Wenli’s injuries had also significantly slowed their progress. The situation was desperate.

At this moment, one of the supervisors walked up to Old man Tian at the front and asked, "Old man, you have experience. Do you think we can get out safely?"

Old man Tian responded in a cool voice: "Wolves hunt in packs, they are good at teamwork. They will drive their prey to the ambush point, then kill."

"What do you mean?" Upon hearing that, Hu Bo and Ning Qi couldn’t help but shudder. They recalled the terrifying feeling of being chased by the wolf pack, seeing the paths blocked one after another. Forced to move in one direction, could it be...

"They’re here. Time to focus!" Su Hui’s quiet command was followed by the firing of the shotgun, and a wolf in the snowstorm fell to the ground. Despite her situation, she had remarkable accuracy, astonishing Hu Bo who was curious about her profession.

As relentless as ever, Zhuo Hang also shot down another approaching wolf and reloaded with ease and calm.

"That’s impressive?!" Hu Bo and Ning Qi realized why they took all the shotguns- because they had the skills to use them.

From all directions, the wailing of the wolves grew stronger. More wolves rushed towards them through the snowstorm, their fast-moving shadows everywhere. The sense of impending crisis made everyone nervous and they were praying silently in their hearts.
