"Ihor!" Mesut shouted immediately.

Before he finished speaking, Ihor had neatly taken off the only Winchester lever-action shotgun they had on his shoulder, and loaded the bullet with a "click".

"Let's keep going"

As Mesut spoke, he had already unscrewed a barrel of kerosene and poured some into a tin bucket.

In this iron bucket, there are also several torches wrapped in rags or animal skin scraps, which they made last night.

Soon, the three sleighs, dragged by the restless reindeer, continued to move due south in the dense forest. However, just as the saying goes, what worries you comes, in less than ten minutes, the surroundings of them were already swarming from time to time.

A pair of green eyes will appear.

"Oooh!"

Accompanied by a deep and unpleasant wolf howl, a circle of slowly approaching wolves appeared around the three sleighs.

"call!"

Mesut decisively lit the torch in the iron bucket. The sudden light also made the beasts subconsciously stop, but soon they began to shrink the encirclement again, and the reindeer became more and more anxious.

.

"boom!"

Ihor finally couldn't help but fire a bullet, but this crucial shot didn't hit any target at all. Instead, it aroused the wildness of the wolves, making them shrink the encirclement much faster!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

After three more consecutive shots, a wolf was finally hit in the back and howled in pain. At the same time, Wei Ran also ignited the iron barrel with a torch hanging on the other side of the rear of the sleigh.

At this moment, Mesut cut all the ropes holding the canvas and feed on the body of the only male reindeer, as well as the ropes tied to his neck. At the same time, he stabbed the reindeer hard at the base of its tail with a knife.

one time.

Stimulated by the severe pain, the reindeer let out an unpleasant neigh, put aside its hooves and started running like crazy. Almost subconsciously, two wolves pounced on the male deer.

"Ihor! Leave the deer behind!"

Mesut shook the reins vigorously and rushed towards the south. At the same time, he did not forget to use the torch in his hand to give the reindeer of Ihor's sleigh a hard slap on the buttocks.

Almost at the same time, Wei Ran also shouted to Ihor, "Give me the gun!"

Before falling due to the sudden acceleration of the sled, Ihor threw the rifle and a canvas bag containing bullets to Wei Ran, and then kicked the underage reindeer off the sled. Then, it

He also fell on the sled, hurriedly grabbed the reins, and was the last one to light the torch in the iron bucket that was originally used for heating and lighting in emergencies.

On the other side, Wei Ran, who had caught the rifle and bullets, immediately pulled out a lit torch and slapped the reindeer's butt hard after sitting firmly, and then poked it into the snow.

"boom!"

Wei Ran decisively pulled the trigger at the wolf closest to Mesut. After hitting the target, he immediately loaded the last bullet with a click, lowered the muzzle of the gun, and fired at a wolf that was about to pounce on the reindeer behind him.

One shot.

He reached out from his pocket and took out a clip of bullets and pressed it into the magazine. Before Wei Ran could take out the clip, he had to swing the butt of his gun and hit it hard on the nose of a wolf that was rushing towards him. At the same time, that

The wolf also used his claws to prick Wei Ran's chest hard.

Although this move failed to cut through the reindeer's robe, the huge force almost caused Wei Ran to lose his balance.

Giving the wolf a rifle butt again, Wei Ran finally had time to close the magazine, aimed at the other wolf that had begun to bite the spare reindeer behind Ihor, and fired a shot. After knocking the opponent down, he immediately fired the gun.

The tone shifted to the other side of the sled.

Under his continuous fire, five bullets were quickly fired, but the wolves around him seemed to be there at all, running out from all over the forest.

What makes people even more desperate is that they don't know if the wolf pack that ambushed them did this intentionally. In just a short time, they have rushed out of the forest, and the exceptionally flat landscape in front of them also made the three of them realize that here

Looks like a frozen lake!

Although such an unobstructed and fenceless landscape is indeed conducive to fire shooting, the snow on the lake is far thicker than in the forest, so that the speed of the three reindeer sledges suddenly dropped by one knot!

But even so, the frightened reindeer still dragged the sled and moved desperately towards the center of the frozen lake-until they were bitten by the wolves on the neck!

"Ah——! Baga! You all go to hell!"

Ihor, who was forced to panic, suddenly let out a roar, took out something from his arms, and then lit it with the torch in his hand, waving the torch to prevent the surrounding wolves from approaching.

He threw what he was holding out.

Less than two seconds passed before and after. Wei Ran, who had empty his bullets again, only heard a muffled sound of "boom", and then saw the snow covered by the explosion, the torn wolf carcass, and the blasted wolf corpse.

The cold lake water gushes out of the ice!

"Crack!"

An extremely clear sound of the ice cracking made Wei Ran grab the reins and force the frightened reindeer to turn to the right, finally avoiding the blasted ice with difficulty.

But compared to the near miss on his side, the reindeer pulled by Ihor's sleigh lost traction because one of them was bitten through the neck. At the same time, the other deer had an unavoidable accident due to the brute force it burst out in fright.

Deflected, and then the sleigh and the sled were knocked upside down on the blasted ice!

What made Wei Ran extremely regretful was that although Ihor also fell into the water, he firmly held on to the traction rope of the only living reindeer behind the sleigh, and the only living reindeer at the front of the sled also fell into the water.

It kept thrashing after that.

On the other hand, the explosion just now not only successfully broke through the ice, but also successfully scared off the wolf pack that had achieved great success.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

After Wei Ran stopped the sleigh with difficulty, he immediately raised his gun and pulled the trigger repeatedly at the wolves in the distance that had not yet run away.

He used more than ten rounds of bullets to finally drive away the wolves. On the other hand, Mesut also used a rope to pull Ihor out of the icy lake water and wrapped him up.

Put on a wolfskin blanket.

Immediately afterwards, he called for Wei Ran's help and pulled up the overturned sleigh and the two still alive reindeer.

Without going far at all, Mesut, with the help of Wei Ran, gathered the torches in the iron buckets of the two people together as quickly as possible and lit a bonfire to warm the frozen Ihor.

Holding it, he took off his soaked robe and all his clothes.

While the unfortunate guy was sitting on Mesut's car to keep warm and let the latter check its injuries, Wei Ran also hurriedly checked the damage of the three of them.

In this raid, they not only lost an adult male reindeer and the immature fawn that served as emergency food reserves, but also lost two reindeer responsible for pulling the cart and three backup reindeer.

As a result, there were only seven reindeer alive, but even these seven reindeer were all injured.

In addition to the heavy losses to the reindeer, they also lost two pieces of canvas for the tent and a bag of concentrate, not to mention that Ihor's sleigh was completely wet and would soon be covered with a layer of ice.

.

In particular, it is covered with a layer of animal skin to keep warm. If the animal skin is not dried, not to mention the extra weight, even if you want to continue using it, it can only be used for pulling goods and cannot sit on people.

Fortunately, although the sleigh and Ihor were soaked, there was not much loss to the supplies because they were tied securely before departure.

On the other hand, the explosion Ihor just made was obviously the result of the detonators and mine explosives found in the mine. It had not mentioned these things to Wei Yan and Mesut before setting off.

Temporarily suppressing these small thoughts, Wei Ran walked to Ihor's side with an oil lamp, and then discovered that the calf bone of the devil's right leg seemed to be fractured, and the veterinarian Mei who was frowning next to him seemed to have a fracture.

Suter was obviously at a loss what to do about this situation.

"We need to find a place to camp as soon as possible." Mesut paused, "Maybe we need to go to the hospital as soon as possible. I can't do anything about such an injury."

"Ihor, do you still have those explosives?" Wei Ran asked.

"have"

Ihor, who was shivering from the cold, stammered, "I brought a lot of them out in my boots. If it's not enough, there's more in the box."

Hearing this, Wei Ran immediately walked towards the pile of frozen clothes that the other party had just taken off, and sure enough, he poured out a total of 11 detonators and explosives that were already equipped with fuses from his two boots.

He took out a Finnish knife from his boots and cut off a piece of fuse as long as his finger and tried to light it. Seeing that it was not affected by the water immersion, he immediately took three and pinned them to his belt, and then put the remaining ones on his belt.

One by one they were planted on the snow.

"What are you going to do?" Mesut couldn't help but ask when he saw Wei Ran walking towards the sleigh.

"Get our tents and feed back"

Wei Ran shouted to the reindeer to turn around and explained, "Without a tent, the three of us will soon freeze to death."

After saying that, he shook the reins vigorously, shouted at the reindeer to return the same way, and ran towards the forest. From time to time, he would shoot a bullet at the wolves who were guarding the reindeer carcasses in the distance, waiting for their meal.

Under the temporary ceasefire agreement reached due to the recent explosion, Weiran finally found the disemboweled reindeer after a lot of troubles, and successfully took away the two tents stained red with blood.

, and the bag of feed and the bundle of fodder.

Carrying these things all the way back, whenever he encountered a reindeer or wolf carcass, he would peel off the skin, take one or two deer legs, and leave the remaining carcass to the surviving wolf pack members.

With this little tacit understanding, he successfully left the forest and returned to the center of the lake.

In just a short time, Mesut had built a wind-blocking wall with his snow shovel, and also simply treated the bite wounds on the reindeer.

Walking to Ihor's side again, Wei Ran bent down and picked up the glove that the other man had taken off and handed it to his mouth, "Bite it, it will hurt later."

"What are you going to do?" Yihor looked at Wei Ran in horror.

"Help you heal your injuries." Before Wei Ran could finish his words, Mesut also turned to look over, obviously curious about what Wei Ran was going to do.

"Help me hold him down, don't let him move." Before Wei Ran finished speaking, he had already put the frozen glove Ihor's mouth again.

After hesitating for a moment, the pale-faced Ihor bit down on the cold gloves and allowed Mesut to hold his body down.
