"What the hell! Why are you following me! Why!" Cao Youcai, covered in mud and blood, looked utterly disheveled as he clutched a machete, scrambling through the rainforest with a desperate expression on his face.
Isn't there surveillance? In such a vast area, how can they not see such a massive beast? Where's the backup?!
And why is it targeting him? There are so many other easy prey around!
Although at that moment, Cao Youcai couldn't see the pursuers behind him, a heavy and oppressive aura weighed down on him, filling him with an instinctive fear. He knew that the Silver Giant Wolf was trailing him closely!
"Useless! Useless! Useless! Can't even be bait properly!"
He had left first, convinced that those who remained in ignorance would surely become the Silver Giant Wolf's next meal, buying him precious time to escape.
There was an old joke about what to do if you encounter a wolf in the forest: it’s fine as long as you can outrun your companions!
But now that the situation had become real, Cao Youcai sadly realized that despite doing everything right—having plenty of bait and even a reckless fool provoking the giant wolf—he still couldn't shake off the heavy pressure weighing on his heart.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he could almost see those blood-red eyes filled with a murderous wildness right behind him!
"How can there be such a giant wolf? What kind of monster is this? Why is it here?" At this moment, any talk of a lone wolf from some wildlife park felt utterly ridiculous.
After all, he was legally considered an adult; he could understand what was clearly visible!
As for the psychological burden of what he was doing...
What psychological burden could there be? He wasn't the one killing people; it was all the responsibility of the training team. If he managed to escape as a survivor, he could easily demand reasonable compensation!
Did he really think that if he didn't act, those weak fellows would escape? Clearly not possible.
"Ouch! That scared me to death!"
Just as Cao Youcai was flailing around like a headless chicken, he suddenly crashed into someone in the jungle. They both fell to the ground, and the person who got knocked down started cursing loudly.
Given Cao Youcai's physical condition, knocking over an ordinary person should have been easy. However, after running for so long, his stamina had been severely depleted. At this moment, they were evenly matched.
"Blood? What’s going on? Are you human or a ghost?" Fang Jinke winced, rubbing the spot where he had been hit. He stood up shakily, his excess flesh trembling slightly, and was taken aback by the sight of Cao Youcai's condition, causing him to step back a few paces.
Cao Youcai had been holding back a surge of adrenaline, but now that it had been disrupted by the collision, he found it even harder to regain his composure. He had been feeling as if he was being watched, but there had been no movement behind him, forcing him to repeatedly reassure himself that it was just his imagination.
There was no choice; he could no longer run. If he kept comforting himself while remaining in a state of tension, the consumption of energy would only increase!
"I am a student from this Military Training! I’m Cao Youcai from East China Jiaotong University! I ended up here after fleeing from an attack by a giant wolf!"
Cao Youcai managed to stabilize his nerves in this crisis. He observed his surroundings cautiously while catching his breath.
Looking at the seemingly pampered fat man before him, Cao Youcai couldn’t understand why this fellow was out here at such a late hour when everyone else should be asleep.
"Wolf? The one that howled? Damn it. It really is a wolf! Liu Shaoqiang’s bad luck prediction turned out to be true!"
Fang Jinke was completely startled by this response and began cursing, his face displaying a mix of fear and discomfort as he scanned the area anxiously, as if afraid that the creature might leap out at any moment.
Just then, the nearby bushes rustled, startling both men who were already on edge.
Cao Youcai instinctively swung his machete towards the noise.
After making the swing, he regretted it; if that thing was indeed lurking there, this action would only provoke it further.
However, a figure suddenly emerged from the bushes, narrowly dodging the machete in a close call.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Liu Shaoqiang, the usually taciturn one.
Caught off guard by the sudden ambush, Liu Shaoqiang looked quite furious. Although he restrained himself from attacking directly, his eyes burned with anger as they fixed on Cao Youcai.
"Oh, it's you! Couldn’t you have given us a heads-up? Look at this fellow—chased by a wolf like this! I thought it was an actual wolf just now!" Fang Jinke took the opportunity to vent his frustrations while inadvertently shifting some of the attention away from Cao Youcai.
"Wolf? It’s already here? And it dares to attack humans directly? Tsk. We need to move; don’t get separated. Wang Xincheng is also in danger back at the camp." Although Liu Shaoqiang was still fuming—if it weren’t for his agility, an ordinary person would have been injured—he understood that there were more pressing matters at hand. He managed to suppress his anger as he assessed Cao Youcai's situation.
At that moment, Cao Youcai also offered a timely apology.
"How did you get so much blood on you? With your weapon and your earlier reaction, a wolf shouldn't have pushed you to this point without any injuries."
Leading the way in a certain direction, Liu Shaoqiang, usually quite silent, took the initiative to speak up.
Cao Youcai's heart skipped a beat; he hadn't expected this fellow to be so observant. Given the other person's skills just now, even at peak physical condition, they would likely be evenly matched. However, at this moment, Cao Youcai was already exhausted and could hardly move. He actually hoped that there would be more capable fellows like him around.
"It was a giant wolf, very large and incredibly fast. The blood on me is from my companion right in front of me." Although he blurred the concept a bit, it seemed to be the blood of a teammate who had fought alongside him.
Still, Cao Youcai simply described the situation. Before he could recover his strength, he would likely need to rely on them. If they truly encountered that giant wolf and these fellows were easily taken down, it wouldn't bode well for him either.
At the same time, Cao Youcai learned about their group's current situation from Fang Jinke, who was chubby and talkative, as well as why they were there.
It turned out that a girl had suddenly noticed that two other girls had gone missing. Those two were the most popular girls during military training, and worried about their safety, they decided to act as searchers. Liu Shaoqiang and a boy from the art school who was responsible for their group woke everyone up and spread out to look for them.
The countryside was exhausting; he felt like he might collapse.
