Night fell, and just after six o'clock, the bounty hunters began to take action.
On the Eighth Street of the town, Liu Ziyun was leading everyone along the street.
Each of them held a revolver in his hand and marched forward, two in a row.
The street light is very dim, and there are no such things as light bulbs in the town. On both sides of the street, a brazier is placed every half street to illuminate the street.
In this relatively dark environment, Liu Ziyun and the others almost stayed close to each other to prevent being attacked by werewolves.
boom!
Bang, bang.
Scattered gunshots were heard all around.
Basically, except for Liu Ziyun, everyone else's heart skipped a beat every time they heard the sound of gunshots.
They were like frightened birds, unwilling to stay if they could not leave.
Each time a gunshot was fired, there was a moment of confusion among the ranks.
In the crowd, Liu Ziyun comforted them again and again, but with little effect. Fortunately, as the number of gunshots increased, everyone finally adapted to this environment despite fear.
Liu Ziyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If the team had remained in the same state as before, there was really nothing he could do.
Liu Ziyun took the lead, and the entire team slowly groped forward, walking along the street entrance.
Jing Jiao asked Liu Ziyun if he had a patrol route. He planned it in advance and followed several streets around the town not far from the center of the town.
It is neither located in the outermost area of the town nor close to the center of the town. It is somewhere in between. From the perspective of the risk of encountering werewolves, it is quite satisfactory.
Once they encounter a werewolf, they can quickly evacuate to the center of the town, where there is a rescue station for temporary refuge.
If they find a werewolf and a gunman fighting on the edge of the town, they can rush over in a relatively short time and participate in the battle.
Liu Ziyun asked during the day. Except for the special existence of werewolf hunters, generally killing a werewolf requires at least ten bounty hunters. In other words, even if they rush over later, the werewolf will not die so quickly.
However, the reality was not what he imagined.
They had originally planned to walk through five circles of the streets, but now they had not completed two.
Everyone was walking around, and from the first time they heard gunshots at night, no matter whether there were gunshots or not, just one sound would cause chaos in their team.
In just two rounds of streets, the team dispersed fourteen or five times.
What a waste of time.
Chen Min and Liu Ziyun suggested.
"Why don't we keep the formation and just keep moving forward? Otherwise we will be too slow."
Chen Min was reluctant to take the initiative to find and attack werewolves at first, but the news brought by Liu Ziyun made him become more active now. After all, no one wants to die.
But Liu Ziyun rejected Chen Min's opinion.
"No, a werewolf attack is very dangerous. Only by maintaining our formation can we ensure the safety of everyone to the greatest extent."
As they were talking, everyone finally successfully passed the intersection and prepared to turn to the next street.
At this moment, at the front of the team, Liu Ziyun suddenly kicked something soft. He subconsciously crouched down and looked down.
Although the light is dim, as long as the distance is close enough, you can still see clearly what is on the ground.
No, this is not a thing, but a broken body, a torn off arm.
Chen Min was following Liu Ziyun, only slightly one step behind Liu Ziyun. Seeing Liu Ziyun suddenly stop, Chen Min couldn't help but take a step forward.
The arm on the ground suddenly appeared in the field of vision.
Chen Min couldn't help but take a step back, with a very frightened expression. Immediately afterwards, Chen Min turned around and looked behind him, using gestures to tell the people behind him that there was a situation ahead.
As Chen Min finished this gesture, all the people behind him squatted down.
This is a gesture that Liu Ziyun has agreed with everyone in advance. Once someone makes this gesture, it means there is danger.
These are civilians. In the limited time before night, in addition to testing guns, Liu Ziyun can only use the knowledge he has learned as a police officer to try to unify others in their actions and help them reduce the danger.
Everyone squatted quietly.
Liu Ziyun stretched out his left hand and touched a little blood on the ground. Then he rubbed it with two fingers and found that the blood was still very moist and had not dried up.
This shows that the broken arm of this corpse was broken not long ago.
He immediately raised his head and moved slowly, because there was no brazier lighting around him. From here forward, he couldn't see clearly very far away, and even the nearby areas were a little blurry.
However, as his footsteps moved, he could vaguely see other black figures in front of him.
Liu Ziyun gestured to the people behind him, telling them to wait quietly. He crept forward and continued to move forward, moving seven or eight meters away.
Finally, Liu Ziyun saw another corpse, one with both arms broken off. Not only that, even the lower body was missing.
One can imagine how brutally this man was killed by the werewolf at that time.
Liu Ziyun couldn't help but breathe a little faster.
Then, he slowly moved to the side along the blood stains around him, and soon he found the other two bodies.
At this point, Liu Ziyun quickly retreated to the front of the team and whispered to Chen Min about what he saw.
"There are at least three corpses within ten meters of them, and I've seen them all. The blood stains haven't dried yet, which means the werewolf who killed them is nearby. It's definitely not too far away."
"Then, what should we do?" Chen Min asked Liu Ziyun nervously.
At this moment, Chen Min panicked.
Facing a werewolf for the first time, especially a werewolf that could kill people casually, Chen Min felt his heart tremble and he was uncontrollably afraid. He held the pistol tightly, looking for a sense of security.
Although he was not able to use this pistol proficiently at all, he just subconsciously held it tightly.
People from behind gathered around, Jing Jiao looked at Liu Ziyun, and she heard what Liu Ziyun had not finished saying.
"Officer Liu, your tone says that the werewolf is nearby, what about us? Can we give it a try?" Jing Jiao asked bluntly.
It’s self-evident what to try at this time.
Liu Ziyun nodded.
"There were a lot of bullet casings on the ground, and when I walked along, I felt a lot of werewolf hair on the ground."
"A fierce battle must have broken out between the werewolf and the bounty hunter. In my opinion, the werewolf did not take down the three of them particularly easily. He might even have been injured."
But Chen Min didn't want to take the initiative and retorted subconsciously: "So what, even if they broke out into a fight, after all, the fighting has been happening for a long time."
"There hasn't been any gunfire in our area for a while, and we don't know where the werewolf is."
Facing Chen Min's question, Liu Ziyun was a little nervous. After thinking for a while, he replied:
"So we need to determine one thing, whether the werewolf was injured and roughly how injured it is. These three people fired so many shots. Even if their marksmanship is not very good, a certain number of bullets must have hit the werewolf."
"And probably hit a werewolf at close range."
"Because no matter how thick the werewolf's fur is, a close range hit will still cause damage to the werewolf. When I touched it, the hair was covered with blood. I didn't think the blood was human."
"You may not know that the most serious injury caused by a bullet is not the penetrating injury, but the kinetic energy generated by the bullet in the body. As long as a werewolf is hit by a bullet, it will inevitably affect his actions."
With that said, Liu Ziyun looked at everyone: "I think this is a good opportunity. You all know now that if we don't kill the werewolf ourselves, we won't be able to leave here, so we have to give it a try."
Jing Jiao asked again: "But Officer Liu, you also said that the other party is just a werewolf who may be injured. What should we do if the other party is only slightly injured?"
Liu Ziyun raised his head and looked around.
The light is dim and vision is greatly affected.
"In this case, we must first determine whether the werewolf is injured and what the general situation is." Liu Ziyun expressed his thoughts: "We must light the torch and see clearly the surrounding situation."
"What?"
"Light the torch?"
Qu Fei's eyes widened and she shouted:
"Officer Liu, are you crazy? We are all in the dark now, and the werewolves may not be able to see us, so we are safe for now. If we light the torch, the werewolves will definitely see us, and we will be dead!"
"This is absolutely crazy!"
"Huh, crazy?"
At this time, before Liu Ziyun could explain, Jing Jiao spoke up first, with a sarcastic tone: "Didn't you hear Officer Liu say that there are at least three corpses in front of you?"
"I saw it, so what?"
"You haven't noticed this?" Jing Jiao said sarcastically: "There is no light here, and the result is that in this dim environment, they were killed by werewolves. What do you think this means?"
"this……"
"Hmph, werewolves have very strong night vision. Even if they don't light the torch, your vision in the eyes of the opponent is no different from your daytime vision."
After saying that, Jing Jiao looked at Liu Ziyun: "I support Officer Liu, light the torch and see if the werewolf is injured."
"I don't know what you are thinking, but I only know that I don't want to die, let alone accept the so-called punishment. Now that I have the opportunity to kill the werewolf, I don't want to drag it out like last night. Do you want to become like Jie Zhiming? of coke?"
The sharp words immediately silenced everyone except Liu Ziyun.
On the other hand, Chen Min gritted his teeth secretly, knowing that what Jing Jiao said was right:
"Then let's do what you want, Officer Liu. Go ahead and light the torch to check for the werewolves, but let's get back to back first to avoid being attacked by the werewolves."
No one raised any objection.
Everyone started to take action. Everyone formed a circle and four people, Liu Ziyun, Chen Min, Jing Jiao and Cheng Cheng, lit the torch.
The torch was lit, and the entire street entrance was no longer dim, and the firelight quickly illuminated the street entrance.
Liu Ziyun looked around the street entrance and was surprised to find that there were not only the three corpses he just found in the entire street entrance, but there were three corpses on the corner near them.
Farther away, on the opposite corner, were two more bodies.
Not only that, there were a lot of messy blood stains on the ground.
"Look there!" Qu Fei exclaimed.
Everyone looked in the direction of her finger and found that there was a finger in the middle of the street, a sharp finger that was obviously much longer than a normal person.
Completely different from normal humans.
No one spoke, but the same judgment emerged in their hearts.
That finger... is the finger that the werewolf dropped!
When Liu Ziyun saw this, he tried to slow down his breathing, turned around and whispered: "Everyone keep the current formation, and then slowly move to the center, don't spread out, stay calm!"
Soon, the team formed a circle and approached the center of the street.
At this time, Jing Jiao came to Liu Ziyun's side and whispered: "Officer Liu, do you still remember when we went to the center of the town to inquire about intelligence?"
"Once these werewolves are injured, they can recover quickly. Even if they lose part of their limbs, they can regrow it."
"But there's a condition."
Liu Ziyun took the lead and listened while walking.
From the beginning to the end, he was the one who walked in front of everyone. Of course, he didn't complain at all, and he didn't even need to say anything. He took the initiative to stand in the front.
"What I remember is that they can recover quickly if they eat and get enough energy from food."
"I understand what you mean."
"There are six guns in the entire street, but there are only five corpses. Looking at the equipment of these people's corpses, each person should only have a pistol, so one of the corpses was taken away by the werewolf."
Then Liu Ziyun pointed in a direction.
"Look over there."
When everyone took a look, they found a huge blood stain on the ground over there, and then the blood stains extended in one direction along the street.
"It seems that the body was probably dragged away from that direction by the werewolf. The body must have been taken away in urgent need of food. The werewolf was most likely injured." Liu Ziyun felt relieved when he saw this scene.
Chen Min looked at the blood stains, his expression wavering.
The conversation between Officer Liu and Jing Jiao made him realize that this might be when the werewolf was injured and had not yet recovered, so this might be their best chance to kill the werewolf.
Finally, Chen Min temporarily suppressed the fear in his heart: "Then let's go there?"
He also didn't want to let go of the best opportunity he had ever known.
No one objects, everyone is not a fool, for them, now is the best opportunity.
So, Liu Ziyun finally decided:
"Okay, let's maintain our formation and follow the blood trail, but we'd better put out the torches first. Maybe we can catch the werewolf off guard."
They extinguished their torches and walked slowly along the corner of the alley toward the depths of the alley where bloodstains extended, moving forward bit by bit.
Passed two intersections in a row.
Suddenly, they heard an obvious sound of chewing.
It didn't sound like the sound of humans eating at all, but the sound of some giant animal eating.
Liu Ziyun's pupils tightened and he was highly concentrated. At the same time, he gestured to the back again.
Everyone remained silent and motionless in a tacit agreement.
Liu Ziyun came alone to the intersection in front of where the sound came from. He gently poked his head to the right and took a look, and found a huge black shadow deep in the alley.
The sound of chewing came from deep in the alley.
After quickly judging all this, Liu Ziyun retracted his head towards the wall and made a few gestures to the back. The group of people slowly retreated, about ten meters away.
[Here I will focus on describing some Liu Ziyun, which is also part of my outline. It will probably dissuade many readers, because the author wants to write a reversal and needs a pedantic, stubborn and holy character. I know that everyone likes to kill decisively. No matter how bad he is, he is still a normal person. He doesn't like the Holy Mother. Don’t worry, neither the protagonist nor the author is the Virgin, everything is just to promote the plot! Liu Ziyun is just a supporting role. 】
