Chapter 228 Wild Dogs (1)
Song Qianyi and her group emerged from the valley and continued their journey.
Ah Qiang sent two of his men back to the spot to check the vehicle.
Unfortunately, the vehicle was gone.
Upon hearing this news, A-Qiang frowned deeply, a hint of annoyance flashing in his eyes.
"These bastards, they're really fast," he muttered under his breath.
Without vehicles, everyone's journey became even more difficult.
They could have taken a car to get to the mine quickly, but now they have to rely on their own two legs to walk step by step on this rugged mountain road.
Not to mention, there were also some instruments and supplies on the vehicle.
Song Qianyi took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
The loss of equipment and supplies is certainly a heavy blow, but at this moment, ensuring everyone's safety is the top priority.
She glanced at her tired and somewhat anxious companions and said loudly.
"Listen up, everyone! It's okay that we've lost our equipment and supplies. As long as we're alive, we can find a way. The most important thing now is to get to the mine safely. Everyone, stay alert!"
Everyone nodded, their eyes regaining their determination.
Led by A-Qiang, the group headed towards the mine along the rugged mountain path.
The setting sun cast long shadows on them, illuminating this land that was both perilous and full of hope.
Everyone remained highly vigilant throughout the journey.
Their eyes were constantly on the move around them, and although their steps were slightly heavy due to fatigue, there was a firmness in everyone's eyes.
As darkness fell, the surrounding environment became increasingly eerie.
Song Qianyi walked in the middle of the group, feeling increasingly uneasy.
Strange noises echoed from the forest, as if countless eyes were watching them from the darkness.
Ah-Qiang gestured for everyone to slow down, and he said in a low voice.
"Everyone be careful. Wild animals may roam this area at night, and we don't even know if there are enemies lying in ambush."
The group huddled together, gripping their weapons even tighter.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from ahead, as if something was moving quickly through the grass.
Everyone immediately stopped in their tracks, held their breath, and turned their gazes toward the direction from which the sound came.
A large wild dog darted out of the bushes.
Its eyes gleamed with an eerie green light in the darkness, and it let out a low growl, revealing sharp teeth, seemingly filled with hostility towards these uninvited guests.
Immediately afterwards, several more stray dogs appeared from different directions and surrounded them.
The wild dogs looked extremely hungry and clearly saw the group as prey.
Ah Qiang said in a low voice, "Don't act rashly, let's observe their movements first."
However, the stray dogs did not seem to intend to let them go easily. One of them launched the first attack, lunging at a security guard.
If using a gun now wouldn't attract unnecessary attention, Ah-Qiang would have just fired it.
The security personnel are not to be underestimated.
He quickly dodged to the side, simultaneously smashing his weapon hard against the wild dog's head.
The wild dog nimbly dodged and launched another attack.
For a moment, a fierce battle ensued between the man and the dog.
Just as everyone was locked in a fierce battle with the wild dogs, Xi Er darted out from Song Qianyi's side like a black lightning bolt.
Her movements were lithe yet ruthless, and she instantly joined the battle.
She dashed towards the stray dog that was attacking the security personnel.
The moment the stray dog pounced.
She crouched slightly, her body twisting deftly to avoid the wild dog's frontal attack. At the same time, her right hand, like an eagle's claw, precisely grabbed the wild dog's neck. With a sudden burst of strength, she forcefully flung the massive wild dog away.
The stray dog flew through the air in an arc, crashing heavily into a tree with a dull thud, then collapsed to the ground, twitching a few times before falling still.
The other stray dogs seemed to be enraged by the sudden surge of power from the second system.
They abandoned their original strategy of fighting individually, and the wild dogs cooperated with each other, rushing towards the second system in a fan shape.
Without showing any fear, Xi Er stood firmly on the ground, her eyes calm and sharp as she closely observed the wild dogs' every move.
As the wild dogs pounced, Xi Er dodged left and right, skillfully avoiding their attacks.
She seized an opening in a wild dog's attack, threw her sharp blade, and struck the dog squarely in the abdomen.
The blow was extremely powerful; the wild dog flew backward several meters and crashed heavily to the ground, howling in pain.
