Xiao Yu was in a panic. In her plan, this trip was supposed to go smoothly.

A sudden group of wolves had directly disrupted all their plans.

"So, we just wait?"

Wen Ran looked at the gun in Xiao Yu’s hand, and suddenly asked, "How many of such guns do you have?"

Xiao Yu’s gaze swept over, with a hint of suspicion.

Wen Ran immediately glared, as if she had taken a shot of gunpowder and started snapping, "Are you sick or something? What kind of look are you giving me?

Even if we’re not on the same side, at this moment, we are all humans, we’re in the same camp.

Being surrounded by wolves, I don’t want to die."

Xiao Yu lowered her eyes, what this little girl said indeed made sense.

"Three guns," Xiao Yu admitted, pulling out another gun from her back, "I have two here."

Wen Ran nodded, very good, now she at least had a chance to play with a real gun.

During military training, the project included gun shooting, but there were more people and fewer guns, Wen Ran didn’t get to enjoy it much.

This time...

Once she got them, all three guns would be hers, she could shoot however she wanted.

"What about the other one?"

Xiao Yu: "What do you want?"

"What else? Give it to that jerk, Xiao Quan!" Wen Ran said matter-of-factly, "Right now, only the capable ones deserve to use guns.

If you place it in the hands of a weakling..."

Wen Ran paused, bluntly said, "Then you might as well let me go, let me run first. I have long legs and I’m young, maybe I can actually outrun these wolves."

Xiao Yu looked at Wen Ran, looked and looked, and suddenly found herself amused.

Her gaze held a trace of admiration, finally revealing a bit of sincerity at this moment, "You’re really interesting, suddenly, I’m a bit reluctant to see you die."

She even started negotiating with Wen Ran, "Why don’t you turn over a new leaf, follow me from now on, sister will take you to enjoy life."

Wen Ran: "..."

Crazy.

She rolled her eyes, neither agreeing nor refusing, with an unmistakable attitude of indifference.

Just snapped back, "Talk about what’s useful, not the nonsense, right now the main objective is to escape.

If we end up succumbing to these wolves, let’s see if you still talk."

As her words fell, the wolf pack drew nearer, their howls were earth-shattering.

The moonlight was clear, shadows danced among the trees.

The crackling of the campfire mixed with the eerie howls of wolves, accompanied by those terrifying green eyes.

The visual impact can be said to be pushed to the extreme.

"Alright!" Xiao Quan chimed in, "That last gun is indeed in my hand."

Wen Ran curled her lips into a smile, now that’s more like it.

"Can you guys stop talking?"

Thrown to the outermost side, Cai Xiaowen had started to shake.

Now, whether Xiao Yu would shoot her didn’t matter, she broke down, "Is this really the time for chit-chat?

Think of a way to drive them all away quickly."

Mr. Gu Sr. shook his head in resignation, already silent, seemingly accepting his fate.

He had dominated the scene all his life, thinking with his current condition he could swagger through another ten years.

Now the ending seemed quite clear.

Either he would end up in the belly of a wolf or fall at the hands of these grave robbers.

Compared to the latter, he hoped for the former as at least this old, frail body could feed the wolves once.

He was numbly pessimistic, feeling full of guilt towards Wen Ran and Cai Xiaowen.

This unforeseen disaster was all because of him.

If it weren’t for him, these two kids would still be happily attending university.

Especially the little girl named Wen Ran, her approach to things was a bit unconventional.

But from the current interaction, this girl was good.

Her heart was kind, if he hadn’t insisted on transferring her out of the language and literature department to him...

She should now be sitting in a classroom, propping her chin, half-closed eyes dozing off, pretending to be attentive to the eloquent teacher on the podium.

Instead of being like this now.

Tied up, restrained, forced to be on high alert to deal with those fierce grave robbers...

In the end, it was all his fault.

If it weren’t for him, these two kids wouldn’t have ended up in their current predicament.

Mr. Gu Sr. was about to be drowned in self-reproach, until he saw the rope binding Wen Ran’s hands quietly loosen a bit.

Mr. Gu Sr.: "???"

He was dumbfounded.

Could it be that he was about to die and having hallucinations?

He blinked, disbelief clouding his eyes as he stared intently at Wen Ran’s hands again.

Then, he saw clearly that the rope binding her hands had loosened, and Wen Ran herself tightened it again.

Mr. Gu Sr.’s heart shook fiercely.

Could it be...

Even in this dire situation, this child was still trying to find a way out?

And she was about to succeed.

At this moment, Mr. Gu Sr. found the wolves outside to be quite hateful.

If only they weren’t greedy, advancing to surround them, with his prudence and Wen Ran’s cleverness, they would surely find a chance to escape, taking the unlucky Cai Xiaowen, and break out alive.

Wen Ran gripped the rope and stepped towards Xiao Yu.

Passing by Xiao Quan, they brushed past each other, having a slight contact.

Before Xiao Quan could furrow his brows, Wen Ran reacted like she touched a virus, jumped aside quickly in disdain, "Oh my god, you really know how to find a spot.

Standing here, blocking the way, you know?"

Xiao Quan was dumbfounded by Wen Ran’s unreasonable anger, "You woman, really makes no sense.

I’m standing here not moving, it’s you who bumped into me, yet you blame me."

"Ah, right," Wen Ran rolled her eyes, continuing to move towards Xiao Yu, "Just stand there, don’t move, even if someone comes by bike.

Don’t give way, tell them if they’ve got the guts to ride over your body!"

Xiao Yu watched Wen Ran argue, feeling inexplicably calm, "Why are you coming over?"

Wen Ran stood behind Xiao Yu and smirked, "Of course, it’s safer behind you..."

Xiao Quan’s eyelid twitched, suddenly reaching to his back, only to find it empty.

"Gun!"

Xiao Yu: "?"

She was startled, the gun in her hand suddenly shifted direction.

Wen Ran threw off the constraint of the rope, happily whistled teasingly, leisurely completing the unfinished sentence from before, "It’s more safe alright!"

Xiao Yu’s gun was openly snatched by Wen Ran, leaving her with one, Xiao Yu didn’t dare to move.

"Ranran," Xiao Yu attempted to play the emotional card, "I’ve treated you quite well, haven’t I? There’s no need for us to come to a life-or-death confrontation."

"Been quite good?"

Wen Ran went ahead, snatched the other gun, wielding the butt, fiercely hitting Xiao Yu’s collarbone, "Are you sick?"
