Alaska Gold Rush Diary

Chapter 204 To catch the thief, first catch the king

"Hang in there, Wyatt!" Windsor's cries brought everyone back to reality.

Wyatt lay on the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably. A large gash had been torn open in his throat, and the ruptured trachea was vaguely visible.

Blood kept flowing out, and he gasped for breath, but air leaked out from the hole in his throat, making a hissing sound.

Windsor herself was bitten on the arm, and the little crescent moon was dripping wet.

But ignoring her own injuries, she knelt down, covered Wyatt's neck with her hands, and tears streamed down her face.

Bell crouched down and took out a bandage to wrap around Wyatt's neck.

His shoulder was also bitten raw and bloody.

It was obvious to everyone that Wyatt had suffered a fatal wound, and with no effective treatment available in this environment, he was unlikely to leave alive.

Wyatt tried to say something, but his throat was already blocked by blood, which only caused a violent coughing fit.

The color drained from his face, and his eyes were filled with resentment.

They had already obtained the treasure, but in the end, they couldn't take it out alive.

This is so frustrating.

Sophia, who had always been at odds with him, covered her mouth, her eyes filled with tears.

However, the wolves did not give them time to grieve. With another howl, the wolves charged out from all sides once more.

In the chaos just now, they had used up nearly half of their ammunition, but they had successfully wounded two wolves.

Although the two wolves successfully retreated, they lost their ability to fight, so only five wolves rushed out at this time.

However, Wyatt was already on the verge of death, and Windsor, suffering from both physical and emotional trauma, was no longer capable of fighting.

The remaining four men gritted their teeth and fought back, using their last firepower to suppress the wolf pack's attack.

These wolves, though large in size, were also quite agile.

They constantly scurried around within a few meters, launching sneak attacks. As soon as they were attacked, they would immediately disappear into the blizzard.

But once they find a blind spot, they will immediately rush out and launch an attack.

The group could only stand back to back, forming a circle, intently watching the wolf's movements.

With ammunition running low and one of their comrades lost, a shadow fell over everyone's hearts.

What's even more disheartening is that the wolf pack in the canyon could break free from its entanglement with the bear at any moment and rush up to provide support.

By then, they will have no chance of escape.

Zhou Xin knew that continuing like this would only lead to his death.

He suddenly gestured to Logan and shouted, "Cover me!"

Logan darted off in a certain direction, and Zhou Xin followed closely behind.

Although the crowd did not understand what he wanted to do, they still fired bullets at the wolves that were trying to chase him.

No one was worried that he was trying to run away, because based on his performance just now, everyone believed that he was definitely not the kind of person who would desert in the face of battle.

Moreover, in this situation, escaping is virtually impossible.

Zhou Xin followed Logan for several hundred meters, and finally, he saw the huge figure standing on a rock ahead.

That figure stood proudly, exuding an aura of looking down upon all living beings.

That's the wolf king, the leader of all these wolf packs.

To catch a thief, first catch the king. If we take down the wolf king, the wolf pack will surely be thrown into chaos.

As long as these wolves stop cooperating, there's nothing to worry about.

At this moment, the wolf king also saw the man and wolf running towards him.

However, it remained very calm, standing proudly on its high perch, without fleeing.

Bang bang bang!

Zhou Xin drew his pistol and fired three shots in quick succession, but missed.

The moment the wolf king saw him draw his gun, he leaped and hid behind a rock.

As expected of the wolf king, he far surpasses the other wolves in both speed and intelligence.

"Logan, go!"

As Zhou Xin spoke, he rushed toward the rock where the wolf king was hiding.

Just as the man and the wolf were about to approach the rock, Logan suddenly howled and charged in another direction.

Immediately afterwards, a wail was heard, and Logan's body flew out of the snowstorm and fell to the ground.

Bang bang bang!

Zhou Xin fired three more shots, aiming at the spot where Logan had flown out.

Hidden by the wind and snow, he couldn't see what had just happened.

But judging from Logan's mangled forelegs, it was almost an instant defeat in its fight with the wolf king.

Moreover, its body was flung out, demonstrating the wolf king's immense strength.

Zhou Xin missed all three shots, and by then his pistol only had one bullet left.

The sky grew increasingly dark, and nothing could be seen around them; they had no idea where the wolf king was hiding.

He simply stood still, raised the pistol above his head, and kept pressing the trigger.

boom!

The last bullet was fired into the sky, followed by the clicking sound of an empty pistol.

He then threw away his pistol.

He stood with his hands at his sides, seemingly having given up the fight.

Soon, with a low growl, a huge white shadow burst out from the snowstorm on the right and bit down on Zhou Xin's right arm.

The wolf king's fangs are as long as a human finger. With one bite, the teeth are deeply embedded in the flesh of the arm, even crushing the bone.

"You beast, I've got you!"

Zhou Xin revealed a ferocious smile, and with a swift movement of his left hand across his waist, he had already grabbed the shotgun.

The next moment, he pressed the muzzle of his gun against the wolf's head and pulled the trigger.

boom!

Because it was held in one hand, the shotgun was instantly knocked out of his hand after the shot was fired.

The wolf king's huge head was smashed to pieces, and blood, flesh, bone fragments, and fur were smeared all over Zhou Xin's face.

The wolf king's massive body went limp, and its teeth were still deeply embedded in Zhou Xin's arm, so Zhou Xin was also dragged down to the ground.

He felt a piercing pain in his arm, but he didn't care.

The reason he deliberately fired into the air and then threw away the pistol, appearing resigned to his fate, was to lure the wolf king over to attack him.

The wolf king was extremely fast, and with the cover of the wind and snow, it was truly elusive.

However, once it is successfully locked on, it is still made of flesh and blood, how can it withstand bullets?

The wolves in the distance seemed to have sensed what was happening and howled in unison.

Then, Zhou Xin heard a burst of gunfire.

He lay on the snow, feeling completely drained.

After a while, he heard footsteps, accompanied by Sofia's worried cries.

"Mr. Zhou, where are you?"

"Here!" Zhou Xin shouted back.

Soon, Sofia appeared in front of him.

"Mr. Zhou, what's wrong?"

She ran quickly to Zhou Xin, looking at the scene before her with surprise.

"Help me." Zhou Xin sat up and began trying to pry open the wolf king's mouth and pull its teeth out of his arm.

Sofia immediately understood and squatted down to help.

Soon, accompanied by a sharp pain, he finally broke free from the wolf king's bite.

"This is... the Wolf King?" Sophia stared in astonishment at the enormous, snow-white wolf carcass.

"Yes, I took it down."

Sofia's face first showed shock, then turned to admiration.

"No wonder those wolves suddenly retreated. It seems their leader died, so they were scared away."

Hearing her words, Zhou Xin was completely relieved; it seemed his strategy was correct.
