Chapter 54: Stay safe
Wolves are very social animals and they know how to divide labor and cooperate. The one hit by Xu Zhiyan fell down, and soon another one took its place. Two pursued it, two outflanked it, and one intercepted it.
Two more anesthetic pills were put into the pneumatic tube.
Xu Zhiyan's current situation is very unfavorable. The gray wolf can maintain a speed of 60 kilometers per hour for 20 hours, and there are two wolves that are constantly pushing her position. If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before she is caught up. Sooner or later, she will be surrounded by cunning predators.
She was forced to turn into an alley again, and there was a gray wolf in front of her on the left that jumped over the high wall and attacked her!
"Phew -" She used the second anesthetic.
"Who is the alpha wolf!"
"It's the one slightly behind you." Ivan replied.
The wolf that killed her was obviously hit by a needle and rolled in the air. The boy took advantage of this opportunity to turn around, aiming the sharp needle tip with a cold light at the alpha wolf behind him and flying out at high speed!
She saw the eyes of the alpha wolf!
Beautiful, determined, ferocious, bloodthirsty.
The needle missed, and the alpha wolf avoided it two or three times and jumped to a high place. It looked down at the boy from a high position, and the full moon made its green eyes even more weird.
"Ouch--" It roared while drinking the moon!
They are starting to shrink! Xu Zhiyan's eyes darkened. If she continued to chase, her energy would only be depleted faster and faster.
Another wolf was killed. She squeezed the brakes, jumped sideways, and made a 180° turn with the front of the car. The gray wolf collided with the bicycle, and Xu Zhiyan was forced to take a few steps back.
The wolf chasing behind also came over. It jumped up and was about to bite the boy. She raised her arm and blocked the blow with her steel bones.
The strength of the North American gray wolf was astonishing. It roared menacingly from its throat. Xu Zhiyan could even feel the warm air coming from the wolf's mouth and spraying on her face.
Fortunately, smart prosthetics are made of extremely hard and lightweight alloy materials. Under the pressure of absolute strength, its 700-pound bite force is still inferior.
She was trembling slightly. During the stalemate, the boy raised his other hand, pinched the wolf's neck fiercely, and pressed the trigger.
Pushing away the limp gray wolf, the boy didn't waste a moment, abandoned the car and started running.
She was fast, but the gray wolf was even faster.
The crisis is close at hand.
No, it's not enough... She wants to go faster.
The young man's thin body jumped up and rolled on the ground to lose speed. She squatted down and stretched her fingers to her calf. "Click!" The hidden buckle was untied, and the two sandbags that had been tied to her calf for many years were removed.
Breaking free from the last restraints.
She stood up again, her whole body as light as a flying bird, and she finally burst out at her ultimate speed!
But this is still not enough to create a distance, it just delays the time of falling into the vortex.
She ran all the way, turned into an abandoned building, and found an old elevator used by workers. Open the door and press the highest floor button.
Hurry...
Xu Zhiyan pressed the door-close button and stared closely at the three wolves running towards him in the corridor.
Finally, just before the gray wolf's claws were about to reach into the door, the elevator door closed.
Through the increasingly narrow crack in the door, the young man once again looked into the wolf king's green amber eyes!
The elevator goes up.
"Ouch--" The three wolves decisively changed direction and climbed up the stairs.
This abandoned building is missing most of its walls. From the outside, you can easily see the ascending elevator, the boy in the transparent elevator, and three running wolves. They flew towards the moon against the background of the silky dark blue night sky.
It is an eternal truth that the shortest line segment between two points is the shortest, so Xu Zhiyan reached the rooftop first.
She quickly retreated, turned around, controlled her body's center of gravity to sink slightly, and raised her right hand. The cold wind was strong and blew the hair on the young man's forehead. She stared at the only entrance to the rooftop, her whole body in a completely tense fighting posture.
Almost at the same moment that six green will-o'-the-wisps appeared in the field of vision, the last anesthetic shot out! At this distance, with Yiwen's auxiliary aiming, Xu Zhiyan was sure that he would hit the target.
The gray wolf running at the front fell to the ground.
Apparently the successive attrition had completely angered the Wolf King. It sniffed the gray wolf lying on the ground, then raised its head and stared at the boy fiercely. It bared its teeth threateningly and walked around less than five meters away from her, looking for the right time to attack.
This is the tallest building nearby, and the moon is within reach. Against the background of night, the dilapidated rooftop became a duel ground.
The young man at the end of his rope will face this powerful and cruel creature!
"Ouch--" The gray wolf's sharp claws came through the wind.
"You are the only one with claws!"
Xu Zhiyan's hands changed again. Crescent-shaped barbs with hooks protruded from the knuckles, and blades formed on the fingertips.
"Is it great to protect animals? I have tolerated you for a long time!"
At this moment, the ferocity in her eyes was so similar to that of the Wolf King!
The wolf was very smart and knew how to avoid the young man's arms and attack. The two wolves were one behind the other, one restraining the other and attacking, forcing her to retreat continuously.
Of course they are injured too. Half of Xu Zhiyan's sleeves were torn, and the blood on his clothes was both hers and the wolf's.
The huge physical difference cannot be easily compensated, and the boy was knocked down instantly. She desperately wanted to stand up, but the other one immediately came to bite her throat.
She waved her arms to block, but the fangs couldn't break through the metal, so she was dragged a few meters, almost to the edge of the rooftop, and her back became dripping with blood.
Another wolf also pounced. Xu Zhiyan's strength was almost exhausted, and just when she could no longer hold on, she caught the sound of footsteps.
The young leader was unhurried and followed by several of his subordinates.
Wilser clapped his hands gracefully, and the wolf explored Xu Zhiyan's arms and pulled out a shock-absorbing box.
The two wolves immediately released their grip on the boy and came to their master. Wilser took the box from the Wolf King's mouth and opened it. Inside was the famous Hundred Flowers Bracelet.
"An ancient and mysterious oriental artwork." He rubbed it and admired it, then looked at the boy who no longer posed any threat, "What a difficult little wolf cub."
Xu Zhiyan gasped for air. She didn't dare to move. Wilser's subordinates were pointing guns at her.
Although she was extremely embarrassed, the young man still laughed out loud. She struggled to push herself up and sit up against the railing. She raised her head, and her handsome appearance made Wilser stunned: "Little Crow, you are fine."
< br>
"You know me?"
"It's not even close to knowing each other." She waved her hand, "Say hello to Old Crow for me."
"It's really interesting." The leader smiled, as noble as a vampire walking out of the castle: "You seem to be the same age as me, but you seem to have a grudge against my father..."
He squatted down and looked at Xu Zhiyan at eye level: "You want this hundred flower bracelet...what, are you a competitor of the Crow family behind you?"
Let me tell you something here. I stopped updating for such a long time, and the reason mentioned in the announcement was that I was retaking the college entrance examination.
As for why I wanted to take the exam again... I didn’t like my previous major, so I wanted to take the exam again.
The book "Devil" was actually written while taking a break from school.
After the college entrance examination, I adjusted for a long time due to the new freshman coursework. Now that I have adapted, I will steadily resume updates.
Thanks to the readers who haven’t given up yet, I will finish writing this story!
