Words:1876Update:22/08/19 10:03:29
Darin Heimerker hadn't drunk water for two days.
It had been three days since he'd started exploring the desert and separated from the group.
He'd used up all his water on the first day.
He'd been unconscious for six hours during the day.
He'd been exposed to the sun for a few hours.
Fortunately, he'd woken up in the evening.
If he hadn't woken up then, he would've definitely frozen to death.
The temperature in the desert would plummet to below zero at night.
The desert was such an extreme environment. During the day, one would die of thirst.
At night, one would freeze to death.
However, at night, the biggest threat wasn't the low temperature, but the wolves.
Right now, Darin Heimerker was facing the threat of the wolves.
Those deep eyes were wandering in the dark night.
That was the vision of the wolves.
They weren't in a hurry to attack Darin Heimerker.
They seemed to know Darin Heimerker's condition.
They were waiting for Darin Heimerker to fall by himself.
Then, they could go up and share the food without paying any price.
Darin Heimerker was already staggering.
Every step he took was extremely difficult.
The wolves were also gradually approaching.
Actually, they didn't need to go through so much trouble.
As long as they pounced, Darin Heimerker wouldn't be able to resist at all.
The dagger in his pocket was just a form of self-comfort.
It had no use.
Awooo —
At this moment, the pack of wolves howled.
They seemed to have run out of patience.
Darin Heimerker started running.
He also realized that the wolves were preparing to attack.
However, even if he ran at full speed, he could only buy a little time.
At this moment, a wolf pounced on him and bit his arm.
Darin Heimerker couldn't break free. He rolled on the ground with the wolf.
The wolf was extremely fast. Before Darin Haimer could react, it had already climbed back up and pounced on Darin Haimer.
"I'm dead …"
Darin Heimerker had already given up.
He felt that there was no hope.
Suddenly, just as the wolf was about to pounce on him, it flew backward without any warning.
Darin Heimerker froze. He looked back and realized that someone had appeared behind him without him knowing.
"Scram." Chen Zhao raised a foot and kicked a wolf that pounced at him.
Chen Zhao recognized the wolf pack, so he didn't kill them.
The wolves howled at Chen Zhao and then ran away dejectedly.
Darin Hemico stared at Chen Zhao in shock.
There was clearly no one nearby just now.
Why did someone suddenly appear out of nowhere?
Moreover, such a person kicked the wolf over and chased it away?
No matter how Darrin thought about it, it didn't seem right.
Chen Zhao reached out to Darin. "Are you okay?"
But Darin suddenly rolled away from Chen Zhao and took out his gun at the same time.
"Don't come over. Who are you?"
"Is this how you treat your benefactor?"
"Answer me first. Who are you?"
"Who do you think I am when you trespass on my ranch?"
"Ranch? You're the owner of the ranch here? "Darin Hemmer was shocked. If there was a ranch, did that mean he was close to human habitation?
That couldn't be right. How could a ranch owner wander around in the middle of the night without a weapon?
"Maybe I shouldn't have saved you. Instead, I should have let you get eaten by the wolves."
Darin Hemico hesitated for a moment. It seemed to be true.
If he was one of those people, he indeed didn't need to do anything.
He only needed to watch Chen Zhao get eaten by the wolves.
He didn't need to waste time with Chen Zhao at all.
"Sorry." Darin Haimerko finally put down his gun.
"Why do you think I'm a bad person?"
"Sorry, I was thinking too much," Darin said with his head lowered.
However, he didn't trust Chen Zhao completely.
Chen Zhao put his hands in his pockets. "Do you need me to call the police?"
"No … No need. Can I have some food and water?"
"Sorry, I don't bring strangers to my house." With that, Chen Zhao turned to leave.
If he hadn't threatened him with a gun just now.
He didn't mind taking him home, giving him some food and drinks, and also notifying the police or rescue team.
But from his reaction, he didn't seem to be just lost.
He probably had other troubles on him as well.
Darin stared at Chen Zhao, his eyes flickering.
"Sir, please don't reject someone who has a gun."
"Ha … If you could use your gun, you wouldn't have kept it hidden when the wolves were chasing you." Chen Zhao looked at Darin mockingly. "You're right. You're right.
Darin's expression changed.
Indeed, it was as Chen Zhao had said.
There were no bullets in his gun.
"So your threat is meaningless."
Chen Zhao walked toward Darin step by step.
Darin couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"In this environment, your life and death are in my hands, so what you did just now was very unwise."
"Sir, I was just joking."
"No, it wasn't."
Darin pulled out his dagger. "Don't come any closer. I'll kill you."
Chen Zhao shrugged with a smile. "Fine, you win. Goodbye."
Seeing Chen Zhao leave so easily, Darin Hemico could not help but hesitate.
It seemed that this guy wasn't as strong as he'd imagined.
Disdain rose in Darin's heart again.
"Stop right there!"
"What can I do for you?" Chen Zhao stopped again and turned to look at Darin.
"I have a knife now, so you have to listen to me."
"Cold weapons can't create absolute deterrence. Are you sure you can threaten me with a dagger?"
Chen Zhao walked toward Darin again. "Plus, I'm full of energy right now, while you're exhausted. You have no advantage in terms of fighting or running. What makes you think that a dagger can make me listen to you?"
Darin's face suddenly became very ugly. He couldn't help but wave his dagger as if to embolden himself. "I'm not joking with you."
"Do you know, the wolves haven't gone far, and there are not only wolves here, but there are also North American brown bears."
"You don't have to scare me …"
Howl —
Actually, the howl came from Black-Ma and White-Ma nearby.
The two of them usually mingled with the nearby wolves and were basically the leaders of these wolves.
Hearing the howls of the wolves, Darin Hemico shivered in fear.
Just then, he saw the wolves appear in the darkness again.
