Rebirth in 1972: Redemption in Changbai Mountain

The wolf pack was startled by the continuous gunfire and took two steps back. Then they saw the four predators they had been unable to defeat fall to the ground with a thud.

The wolves were somewhat bewildered; it seemed Heaven was sending them food to prevent them from starving. However, they didn't act rashly and waited for the wolf king's command.

Bang… Instead of the wolf king's command, they received a decree from the King of Hell. One of the wolves fell, and then it was like a breach in a dam.

Bang bang bang... Bullets rained down, and wolves fell one after another. Some wolves that were close together were even pierced by the same bullet.

The flames from the gun muzzle on the roof were eventually noticed by the wolves, and the wolf king in the distance also reacted.

Awooo... Awooo...

After two long howls, the wolf pack split into two groups and pounced on the two snow houses.

"Senior brother, switch guns."

Zhou Rui slammed the gun into the cave entrance, and the gun in his hand was immediately taken away, leaving him with a new gun.

Zhou Rui looked ahead at the three wolves that pounced on him at the same time. He didn't panic. Instead, he reached for the gun in his hand. It was a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle.

It seems that his two senior brothers thought that the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle had a large magazine capacity and a fast rate of fire, so they would give him this gun first when given a choice.

Two of the three wolves were not strong enough and landed on the outer semicircle. Their claws couldn't get any grip, and they slipped and fell downwards.

Another horse, with its powerfully developed legs, soared through the air and charged straight at Zhou Rui.

Zhou Rui held the Type 56 rifle barrel in one hand, and in a flash, the butt of the gun was in his other hand. Just like he had told his senior brother earlier, he swung the butt of the gun horizontally, hitting Wild Wolf in the chin.

The sudden burst of force wasn't great, but it was enough to make the wolf whimper and fall off the snow house.

Zhou Rui raised the gun, but instead of aiming it at the ground, he pointed it towards Wang Shouye.

It turned out that Wang Shouye's M1 Garand rifle had also run out of bullets, but instead of changing the gun like Zhou Rui, he changed the magazine on the roof, which made him a little slower.

Wang Shouye had just removed the empty magazine and was reloading when he saw two wolves rushing towards him.

Wang Shouye's mind raced: should he hold the gun at bay or jump back into the snow hut?

Bang, bang. Two wolves tumbled down from beside Wang Shouye, some of their blood splattering onto his face.

"Uncle Wang, switch guns."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shouye finally realized why Zhou Rui was moving so fast without stopping at all.

Oh right, there's my third brother in my room, so I don't need to load the bullets myself. Wang Shouye threw the gun and magazine into the room.

"Stone, give me your gun and load it for me."

The gunfire from Zhou Rui on the other side continued, the rate of his bursts was very rhythmic, almost one shot per second.

"Guns." Zhou Rui's words became increasingly concise.

The rifles changed hands instantly. It seems that the magazines of the four Type 56 semi-automatic rifles gave them enough time to reload. Their senior brothers never even considered giving him the Mauser 98K.

Who cares, as long as I have a gun. The distance was too close; the wolves under the roof had nowhere to hide, and they didn't even have a chance to continue pouncing onto the roof.

Because Zhou Rui would shoot bullets in whichever wolf he saw charging upwards.

Bang bang bang... Wang Shouye's gunshots joined Zhou Rui's rhythm, and the wolf pack below immediately thinned out.

Awooo... This time, the wolf king's howl was exceptionally long. Zhou Rui couldn't understand it, but he could sense the emotion in the howl.

Oh no, the wolf pack is escaping.

Bang! Bang! Zhou Rui fired the last two bullets.

"A gun, a flashlight."

This time it was a little slower. First, a gun was handed over, and two seconds later a lit flashlight was handed over as well.

Zhou Rui held the flashlight loosely with his left palm facing up, then placed the Type 56 rifle handguard in his palm, side by side with the flashlight.

It's a bit awkward to use, but I'll make do with it. Zhou Rui wasted three seconds, and the wolf pack had already turned around, started moving, and was accelerating away from five or six meters away.

"You're the one." Zhou Rui had already pinpointed the wolf king's location from the wolf howls, and simultaneously moved his gun and flashlight beam in one direction.

The beam of light swept across a pair of eyes, glowing green, and then moved back after half a second.

The wolf king was blinded by the light and closed his eyes for a moment.

Bang... The gunshot rang out over 136 meters, the bullet striking the wolf king between the eyebrows. The wolf king's image was finally frozen in time, with the fur on his neck flying in the raging wind and snow.

The gun barrel rattled, and Zhou Rui tightened his grip on his left hand. Having an extra flashlight in his hand was really inconvenient; even adjusting the muzzle took time.

The wolf pack disappeared into the darkness in the distance, leaving Zhou Rui with no other choice. He swept the beam of his flashlight across the distance, trying to see which wolf would be lucky enough to be blessed by the light of heaven.

Bang... Keep going, bang... Again, but alas, it's gone.

Wang Shouye's side had already stopped, and when he saw Zhou Rui put away his gun, he shouted loudly, "Everyone out! Release all the hunting dogs!"

Zhou Rui shuffled his feet out of the hole and slid down the wall. He moved carefully, but the wolf carcasses and blood splattered all over the snow around the snow hut made it impossible for him to find a place to land.

First, we arrived at the sled area, where the venison on the sled had been gnawed beyond recognition. In less than half an hour, at least a hundred pounds of meat had been eaten by wolves.

We'll have to reprocess it later, cutting off all the bite marks on the outside and corners. We should still have a few hundred pounds of meat left.

As for the big mule, Zhou Rui looked up at the deep black distance, took out a tuft of mane, and decided to see how the mottled creature would fare after dawn.

The door to the snow hut opened, and several people crouched down as they emerged, followed by the dogs. Wang Shouye whistled, and the dogs, led by Spotted, instantly chased after the wolves in the direction they had fled.

"Ruiwa and Shitou bled the moose, while Shaofeng, Zhenzi, and I cleaned up the battlefield to finish off the wolves and bring back all the spoils."

Zhou Rui stopped Gu Shaofeng, who was about to leave: "Senior Brother, if you follow this direction, it's a little over a hundred meters away in a straight line. I killed that wolf king on that little mound."

Gu Shaofeng turned his head: "Ruiwa, you really, really killed the Wolf King?"

"Well, are we just going to let it retaliate if we don't kill it? We're carrying so much meat, we have to eliminate this threat."

"Okay, I'll go right now." Gu Shaofeng ran off happily.

After Zhou Rui finished speaking to Gu Shaofeng, he also picked up his knife and went to work with Zhang Shitou.

With a whoosh, the knife plunged into the moose's throat. The knife wasn't very good; it seemed the blade had been dulled while chiseling at the wall.

They stopped collecting deer blood; they had no containers and no energy left. Four moose and a pile of wolf carcasses—it looked like they'd have to work until dawn.

Bang... Gunshots rang out occasionally outside the camp; it was someone finishing off a wounded wolf.

Just as Zhou Rui and Zhang Shitou were working hard, Wang Shouye and the other two returned one after another, dragging a number of wolf carcasses in their hands.

Before long, the dogs returned, but they didn't have much of a catch; they only brought back two dead wolves, making them the unlucky ones who couldn't escape.
