The Boy Who Cried Wolf

The night was as black as ink, and those green eyes looked exceptionally eerie and terrifying.

Su Yang narrowed his eyes and looked closely. Because the top of the dirt slope was not far from the vehicles, he could clearly see that it was a wild wolf blending into the darkness.

Wolves are pack animals. Since one had appeared, it meant there were definitely many more nearby.

Of course, the possibility of it being a lone wolf couldn't be ruled out, but the chances were quite slim.

This one was likely a scout sent to scout the way.

Su Yang watched the wild wolf pacing back and forth at the top of the slope. Two seconds later, it turned and ran off the other side.

'Crap, it's probably going to call the main pack.'

Thinking this, Su Yang quickly ran to the top of the slope, but by the time he got there, the wolf from earlier had already disappeared.

He stood at the top of the slope and observed for a while before returning to the tents. At this moment, the faint sound of sleeping bags rubbing against mats could still be heard from Meng Wenzhou and the others' tents.

'They probably haven't fallen asleep yet,' Su Yang thought as he walked over to Meng Wenzhou's tent and called out softly, "Old Meng, are you asleep?"

"Not yet, what's wrong?"

"Wolves are here."

"What!" Hearing this, Meng Wenzhou hurriedly sat up inside the tent.

The tents were pitched in a circle, so the people in the other tents also heard Su Yang's words.

Liu Bo was the first to unzip his tent and run out, asking, "Where are the wolves, Brother Yang?"

"It left."

"Left? How many were there?"

"Just one, but it will probably come back, and when it does, there might be more than one."

"Damn, looks like tonight won't be so simple."

At this time, Ji Bo and the others also unzipped their tents and poked their heads out. "Are there really wolves?!"

"Did you think I was joking with you? It's perfectly normal to have wolves in a place like this."

"Let's wait and see if they come back. If a whole pack comes, you guys hide in the tents, and Fatty and I will handle the rest."

Liu Bo patted his chest and smiled, "That's right, just leave it to us."

"Wouldn't that make us cowards? We have tools in our hands, what kind of men would we be if we just hid in the tents?" Zhang Ziming said indignantly.

"Oh, aren't you usually the most timid one?"

"Hmph, that depends on what we're facing. I am indeed a little scared of ghosts and things you can't see or touch, but when it comes to wolves, even though I'm scared, there's no way I'd hide."

"Alright, you've got guts. Then let's wait."

"Are the girls all asleep?" Meng Wenzhou looked at Su Yang and asked.

"Panpan and Qianyu are asleep. I don't know about the others."

"Should we tell them?"

"No need, let them sleep. Otherwise, if they hear about this, they probably won't be able to sleep all night."

"That works. They'll be fine in the vehicles anyway."

"Yeah." Su Yang nodded and looked at Liu Bo, "Fatty, come on, let's go scout around."

"Alright." Liu Bo turned around and took out his self-defense tool from his tent: a baseball bat.

"Old Meng, you guys stay here and keep watch."

Meng Wenzhou nodded, "OK, don't go too far."

"Got it, we're just going to take a look."

Saying that, Su Yang took out a flashlight from his tent, and then he and Liu Bo ran up the dirt slope.

He turned on the flashlight and shined it around the pitch-black surroundings, but found nothing for the moment.

"Let's go check over there."

"Okay." The two jogged down the other side of the slope. They patrolled around an area forty to fifty meters away but still didn't see any trace of the wolf.

"Brother Yang, could it just be a lone wolf isolated from its pack?"

"Probably not. Nine times out of ten, it was a scout wolf. I have a feeling it went back to call the main pack."

"If it's not a lone wolf, then that's very likely. Wolves are extremely smart animals. They usually have a scout wolf go ahead to check out the situation."

"Yeah. Let's just hope there aren't too many of them, otherwise they'll be hard to deal with."

The two talked as they turned to walk back to the camp. They had barely walked a dozen meters when a series of wolf howls suddenly rang out from the distance behind them.

Awooo—

Awooo—

Hearing the sound, the two hurriedly turned around. Su Yang raised his flashlight to look, but the sound came from too far away, and they couldn't see anything yet.

"Crap, judging by the sound, there seems to be quite a few of them!" Liu Bo said nervously.

"At least ten!"

"Fuck!"

"Let's go, hurry back first."

"Okay."

The two turned and ran towards the camp.

Soon, they returned to the tents, where the other four were waiting nervously with their self-defense tools in hand.

Seeing Su Yang and Liu Bo running back quickly, the four silently swallowed hard.

"I think I just heard wolves howling," Chu Qiunan said, looking at the two.

"It's not just a thought, it's real. And there are quite a lot of them."

"How many?"

"At least ten."

Hiss...

The group immediately grew tense.

"Then what do we do, Brother Yang?" Ji Bo asked, his face full of worry.

"If worst comes to worst, we'll just have to get into the vehicles to take shelter. Ten is too dangerous."

"Damn it, is the first night in the no man's land really going to be this thrilling?"

As they were talking, Su Yang suddenly spun around to look at the top of the dirt slope.

"They're here!!"

"Holy crap? That fast?"

Everyone turned to look, only to see one, two, three... twelve wolves rapidly appearing at the top of the slope.

"Don't move, don't move, nobody move yet!" Liu Bo gripped his baseball bat tightly in his right hand, his palms already starting to sweat.

Zhang Ziming, Ji Bo, and the others suddenly felt like they were about to die. How could these people who grew up in big cities have ever seen a scene like this?

Before the wolves appeared, everyone had spoken with righteous indignation, but when the wolves actually showed up, an uncontrollable sense of fear quickly filled their bodies.

At this moment, more than ten wolves were glaring at them viciously from twenty meters away.

Su Yang took a deep breath and slowly moved forward. "Fatty and I will rush over first and try to scare them away. The rest of you, get into the vehicles."

"We can't do that, Brother Yang, it's too dangerous!" Ji Bo shouted.

"Cut the crap! If we wait for them to charge down on their own, none of us will have time to get into the vehicles."

"Fatty, prepare for battle!"

"Got it!!" Liu Bo swallowed hard and slowly walked forward.

Su Yang was just about to take out the brass knuckles from his pocket and put them on, but before he could even touch them, seven or eight wolves howled and lunged down the dirt slope toward them, bearing their fangs.

"Holy mother of fuck!!"

"Get in the cars, quick!!"

Su Yang yelled. With no time left to put on his brass knuckles, he hurriedly rushed forward to meet the attack and buy time for the others behind him to get to safety.

A distance of twenty meters was far too close for wolves.

In the blink of an eye, a wild wolf lunged fiercely at Su Yang.

Bang!!

A muffled sound rang out. The wild wolf leaping toward Su Yang took a solid, heavy punch to the body and was sent flying.

Whack!

Another muffled sound echoed as Liu Bo sent the wolf in front of him flying with a swing of his bat.

But right at that moment, the remaining wolves also howled and joined the fray.

"Holy fuck!!"

Meng Wenzhou and the others, who had been preparing to run to the vehicles, saw that Su Yang and Liu Bo were already besieged by the wolf pack. If they abandoned the two now and ran to the vehicles themselves, they would be total cowards.

A man can be timid, but he cannot shy away from trouble—especially when these two were their good brothers.

A rush of hot blood surged to their heads.

Weapons in hand, the four men charged into the fight.

"Motherfuckers!! I'll fight you to the death!!" Zhang Ziming roared, wildly swinging his tactical shovel.

Inside the vehicle, the girls had been jolted awake by the commotion and scrambled up to look outside.

Out in the pitch-black night, they saw the six boys wielding their self-defense weapons, locked in a fierce battle with a pack of wild wolves.
