The Inconceivable Flame: A Fallen Angel's Disguise-Chapter 277 Wolves

Every person who had been watching this scene behind the screens was dumbstruck. They didn’t even get a chance to react before every single one of their own fell to the ground like a broken kite. What stunned them, even more, was the fact that the young man’s speed was horrifying.

\"Captain?\" a young petite female tried to get her captain’s attention.

Their captain, Yu, however, looked fascinated by Zhang Han’s movements. Yu had seen that footwork before and he was certain that he wasn’t imagining it. And if his assumption was right then this time their organization really underestimated the other party.

\"Inform Madam about this,\" he gave a light remark with no urgency in his voice. He seemed rather amused by these events. In fact, he was so amused that he didn’t even want to blink as he stared at Zhang Han’s figure visible on the monitor.

Meanwhile, Zhang Han tried to pick up any useful thing from those losers that lost their lives so easily. All of a sudden, he heard a wolf howling not far away and cursed under his breath. He looked at the gun in his hand that he picked up from the leader of that group and whispered, \"Wolves and a single gun. Damn! I hate this combination!\"

Luckily, he had found a couple of combat knives from the few of them as well. He came around the cage and crouched down before it. 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m

Inside the cage, Lily was staring at him oddly. She had never expected him to be so ruthless. He smiled like an angel all the time that she didn’t even realize that he was hiding a monster underneath.

\"Did they give you anything else?\" he asked and Lily shook her head in reply. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, \"I can explain everything but this is not the time for that. For now, I want you to trust me. Can you do that?\" Lily bobbed her head up and down clearing her stance. \"That’s good.\" He stretched his hand through the space between the bars and caressed her cheek saying, \"I don’t know what or who is helping you keep your humanity. But please, make that thing your anchor and hold onto it for a little bit longer. I promise I won’t let anything happen to you. Okay?\"

Lily lifted her hand to touch his hand that was on her cheek and tried to smile, \"I trust you.\" Zhang Han smiled back at her in reassurance while Lily’s eyes widened at what she saw behind him. Noticing her gaze, he also turned to look.

There stood several silhouettes, wolfish. They looked aggressive and as the foremost wolf howled, every wolf in the pack stopped to eye the prey as if they were invited on a family feast. Zhang Han sucked in a cold breath as he said, \"Well, that looks quite like a majestic wolf pack. They look cute right like huskies?\" he tried to joke around as his habit.

\"It’s not funny,\" said Lily. \"Let me out, I can help you.\"

Zhang Han shook his head at her and pulled out a napkin from his pocket. He rolled it and tied it around Lily’s eyes and while she was trying to remove it, he said, \"Please, don’t take it off until I say so. You’re safe in there. They can’t even touch you in the cage. If you came out, I’ll be distracted and that’ll bring more trouble than necessary.\" Lily dropped her struggle as she felt him getting up. \"Just wait. I’ll be right back.\"

The pack of wolves before him had over a dozen members. Grey, brown and white, the pack looked really majestic as he said. Their fur, short over their body and longer at the neck, seemed smooth and shiny. But he really didn’t think it was time to appreciate wolves beauty or might. Now, it was about survival.

As the foremost wolf howled again, every other member in the pack started running towards Zhang Han’s figure. However, the teenager who stood stretching his neck a minute ago was now running up to climb the nearby tree. The tree was tall and dense but wolves had already surrounded the tree. 𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎

Zhang Han took off his jacket that had blood on it and just threw it on a branch before jumping off towards another branch of another tree. After coming to a fair distance, he pulled out the gun he found and aimed at the alpha of the pack. Even an empire falls with a king, how can wolves survive? That was exactly his thought and that’s why he aimed right in the middle of the wolf’s head and took a shot.

With an ear-piercing cry, the alpha fell down to the ground; lifeless. The wolves seeing their alpha fall got even angrier as they frantically tried to look for Zhang Han. A little teenager hiding in the trees took several shots and claimed the life of seven wolves. Since there were only eight bullets in the gun and he had missed a shot, now he was only left with the combat knives.

The remaining number of the wolves was exactly the same as he had killed but now the situation was really not in his favor. He picked up a pebble and threw it at the head of the wolf that was closest to him. As the wolf howled and ran towards him, Zhang Han held the combat knives in both his hands to attack.

What followed was a bloody and gruesome battle. His shoulder was bitten by a wolf, another one even dragged him for quite a distance from his leg. All in all, by the time he killed the wolves, he was looking like he had bathed in blood. Not only that, but even his body was also filled with wounds now.

He limped his way towards the cage and unlocked it. When Lily finally came out and took off the blindfold, she was stunned. The carcasses of wolves were littered around on the dirt path. And his condition didn’t look very good either.

She really wanted to know how he did it but couldn’t find any words. Zhang Han however, wasn’t really paying attention to her as he was surveying the surroundings. He held her wrist and dragged her with him. \"Let’s run. The wolf cries will definitely bring more trouble for us.\"

Lily didn’t say anything but followed him. Even with an injured leg, he tried to run through the steep, narrow and rocky path of the mountain in a chaotic way. He was breathless, tired and felt completely drained but he still didn’t give up. He had to save her life at any cost!

On a wet patch of dry leaves, Lily’s step faltered and she almost fell. He helped her up and asked, \"Can you walk?\"

Before she could nod, she screamed, \"Watch out!\"

Unfortunately, it was already too late...
