Chapter 73: Fight Until Dawn
"Will this work?" Hu Hao watched Bifang set traps and doubted their effectiveness.
“Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t, but if it does, we’ll make money.”
Bifang fixed the bow made of bark rope on the tree stump, nocked the arrow, pulled it fully, and hung it on the buckle tied to the mixing line at the back.
"Okay, let's continue on our way."
After Bifang confirmed that everything was correct, he continued to move forward with the torch in hand. They did not choose to rest that night, but instead continued on their journey all night.
Now the wolves were watching them all the time, and sleeping was definitely not the right thing to do.
Along the way, Bifang set up as many as seven similar large traps, including two giant tree traps, a knife trap, a pit, and three crossbow traps.
Three of them were deployed near the previous camp, and the remaining four were deployed along the road. It depends on how many wolves in the wolves will be fooled.
Among them, the giant log trap is the simplest, but the materials are hard to find. It requires large wood, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive to make. The materials are also difficult to obtain. The broken wood is either too heavy or buried deep under the snow.
These are almost all the traps that Bifang has in his mind that can be used to deal with large animals. I wonder if more can be unlocked in future upgrades.
But now is the limit of his ability.
And seven are enough. Any more would just be a waste of time and energy. Wolves are not that stupid.
"This meat is so tough and smells like dog shit." Hu Hao mumbled while gnawing on the wolf leg.
The wolf meat was brought deliberately to ensure that the wolves would walk correctly on the path where they set their traps.
"Have you ever eaten dog shit?" Zheng Tianfang asked.
"Fuck!" Hu Hao cursed.
"Hahaha!"
Boom!
“Ouch!”
Accompanied by a scream, a large amount of snow nearby was shaken off.
The audience was startled, but Bifang waved his fist excitedly when he heard the sound.
"The giant tree trap works!"
Looking at the way the snow was shaking off, it was clear that the nearby giant tree trap had been triggered.
I just don't know if one or two died.
Along with the screams, there were also loud wolf howls .
The air was filled with the smell of blood and burning.
A large wolf sniffed its companion's body and growled.
This is the third time.
The wolves hadn't caught any prey for several days, but this time the opponent was more difficult than ever before.
The wolf king never thought there would be a better hunter than him.
The sacrifices were great, and many members were already beginning to feel dissatisfied, but it had no choice.
"Did you hear that?"
Zheng Tianfang was very excited. Their resistance worked and the wolf pack suffered damage!
"You are not ferocious beasts! We are the ferocious beasts!" Zheng Tianfang pointed at himself, took a bite of wolf meat and shouted, venting the frustration he had been feeling for a long time.
Now each of them has two spears and two javelins, plus there are traps set up along the way, everyone is a little inflated.
【I feel hopeful! 】
[Don’t set flags casually, brother! ]
[Are the wolves going to die of anger? Won't they be pushed into a corner? ]
[By the way, has the rescue team been dispatched yet? It's been almost a whole day, right? ]
[Yes, the wind and snow were much lighter this morning, but now it's getting heavier again. Is there another snowstorm? ]
[It seems so . I checked the weather forecast in Mohe and it seems to say there will be snow.]
Many viewers watched the invisible confrontation between Bifang and others and the wolf pack. Although it was very exciting, they still hoped that they could be rescued quickly.
The wind and snow were not too strong in the morning, so the helicopter should have been able to be dispatched, but the fact is that they have not been found yet.
"Damn it! Are there any more helicopters? Send them out quickly! All of them! All of them!"
In fact, the rescue center had been set up a long time ago, and the person in charge was roaring loudly inside. It had been a whole day, and they had not found anyone. They had called their superiors all the time, but it was still useless.
They asked Langya TV, wanting to know where Bifang landed, and started searching in a circle based on that location, but what they got was...
The helicopter pilot flew randomly according to Bifang's instructions, and even the landing point was random.
The most outrageous thing is that there is no black box on the helicopter!
No flight record!
It was exactly the same as the serious helicopter crash in 2015, nothing!
Damn it!
Even the driver didn't know the location of the Bifang, and there was no way to locate the car. There was no record if the GPS had no signal, so everyone had to expand the search range.
Satellite photography and search, as well as heat source positioning, were ineffective because it was all snowstorm and white, and no one could be photographed at all.
The person is right there on the big screen, but the curtain between them seems like a chasm.
"Captain, all the helicopters on our side have been dispatched, and those from neighboring cities have also been called in, but we just can't find it." Facing the boss's spit, the team member rubbed his face and said weakly.
Starting at noon, the snowstorm was a little smaller, so we could barely dispatch planes, but the visibility was too low and helicopters could not fly high at all. They could only search at a low altitude with a limited range. Even if all helicopters were dispatched, the efficiency was still low.
As for civilian calls, that thing is even more unreliable. Maybe the person here is not found and the connection over there is lost.
"Captain Chen, the superior called!"
In the corner, a young man suddenly came with a phone.
Captain Chen was startled and quickly picked up the phone. Then several team members heard muttering sounds coming from the phone. Their boss kept responding. After a long time, he put down the phone with an emotional tone.
"How is it, Captain Chen? What did the superiors say?" Several young men were worried. Ever since they received the search and rescue order, Captain Chen had been under a lot of pressure and had not slept since the rescue began.
Captain Chen pursed his lips and said, "The troops have been dispatched..."
The phone call just now was actually a notification asking them to cooperate.
In order to rescue Bifang and others, even the army was dispatched, and in order to guard against wolves, they were even equipped with guns and ammunition.
On the big screen, Bifang was still leading everyone on their journey, but they knew nothing about it.
Wu Mingtao coughed twice. Everyone was exhausted after a night of traveling. Although they were very sleepy, they had to cheer themselves up again when they thought of the wolves following them.
"Can I take a break for a while?" Lin Xue held on to the tree and leaned her head against it. She could not hold on any longer. As a female comrade, this day's travel had really reached her limit.
[Indeed, I feel tired just looking at it.]
[I haven't stopped for the whole day. I would have given up long ago. 】
When many viewers heard this, they felt the same way and left messages saying that they could take a break.
Bifang wiped the sweat from his face and felt that he was very exhausted. He looked behind him and saw that it was pitch black.
I looked at the bushes ahead again and saw a fallen tree.
To be honest, he was worried that the wolves would pounce on them as soon as they stopped.
But excessive physical exertion is not a good thing, as it will be very difficult to fight against the wolves.
Moreover, night is a good opportunity to hunt. Now it is almost dawn. If the wolves miss this opportunity, they may have to wait another day, which will be a difficult test for both sides.
If he were the Wolf King, he would definitely launch an attack before dawn, because his men had suffered casualties and delaying any further was definitely not a good option.
"Okay, that's it, we can take a break."
Bifang was stroking a fallen giant tree. It was quite suitable to use this place as a cover. If the wolves attacked from this side, they could only jump up and become sitting ducks, which would reduce the pressure a lot.
He asked everyone to hold their wooden spears and javelins in their hands and take a short rest while being prepared.
"What time is it?" Hu Hao asked after sitting down.
"It's almost six o'clock, and it's almost dawn." Zheng Tianfang looked at his watch and pointed to the sky.
Bifang looked up at the sky and found that it was a little brighter than before. Seeing that everyone was listless, he couldn't help but remind them: "Don't let your guard down. The more tired we are, the more likely the wolves will attack."
"Damn, don't these beasts take a rest!" Hu Hao cursed angrily and threw a big stone, which caused a faint growl.
The distance is very close!
Bifang was startled and suddenly broke free from his sleepiness, like an insect escaping from a spider web.
He looked up and noticed that on the high snow slope not far away, there stood a gray wolf of unusual color. Its creepy green eyes were fixed on this side, and the long hair on its neck was flying, looking like the sideburns of a horse.
Just as Bifang noticed it, in the dim morning light, the gray wolf looked up at the sky, and its howl sounded like a distant horn.
Along with the sound of the horn, the ground was shaking slightly. On the long and narrow snow slope, more than a dozen gray wolves were running down!
