After crossing the ice crack, Su Mi began to pay attention to the movement behind her from time to time.
The tapping sound of "dong dong dong" came from under the ice from time to time. But every time she looked back, the sound would disappear.
There were no fish or any aquatic life under the ice, except for an occasional piece of thin moss.
"Su Mi, what's wrong?" Qin Hao noticed that Su Mi kept dragging behind them and always looking back, feeling a little worried, "Is there something?"
Su Mi tilted her head, "I don't know, have you heard any strange sounds?"
Qin Hao listened carefully for a while, then shook his head, "No, there is only the sound of water flowing under the ice. Are you too tired?"
Su Mi shook her head, "I hope I'm overthinking."
The distance from here to the outskirts of Yun City is only four to five kilometers, and it would take about an hour to walk on normal flat ground. The ice here also increased the walking time for the three of them. By the time they reached the location of the chariot, it was already getting dark.
The sky in Jiangnan City doesn't get dark until six or seven o'clock every day, and sometimes it doesn't get completely dark until after seven-thirty. But it was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky in Yun City had already begun to darken.
Before Su Mi and the others reached the location of the chariot, they saw Wu Lei and six other people walking towards them.
"Team Qin! Boss Su! You are back!" Seeing Su Mi and the others, Wu Lei and the others walked over quickly. The clothes on these six people were frozen hard, and their faces were not very good-looking. When their feet stepped on the ice, their legs almost slipped because of the hardness.
"Why are you here?"
"Everyone is worried about your safety, so we volunteered to come out to find you." Wu Lei said and turned to Li Changtian, "Is this Dr. Li?"
Li Changtian smiled and nodded. He thought that the six soldiers would show their welcome, but he didn't expect that after confirming his identity, they crossed over and started talking to Qin Hao and the little girl Su Mi.
"Boss, it's getting dark in Yun City. Let's hurry back to the car. It's too cold today. People won't be able to stand it for a long time!"
Among the three of Su Mi, only Li Changtian was in the worst shape, with poor physical strength and poor physical condition. When he heard them say they had a car, he walked faster.
When they arrived at the back of the tank, they saw not only their teammates patrolling outside the tank, but also the bodies of two wolves on the ground.
It seems that in this icy place like Yun City, water is not the only danger.
It was getting dark faster after half past three. After the group got on the bus, they unanimously decided to give the compartment position to Li Changtian. Because he was afraid that his health would suffer from long-distance travel as he aged, he turned on the heater in the trunk.
It's just that on such a cold day, the warm wind blowing out at 30 degrees is only a few degrees warm, but this is enough. Su Mi volunteered to sit at the front of the car, leaving the seats behind to a group of soldiers.
The chariot had been driving for less than an hour when it became completely dark. Even with the headlights on, it seems like the road ahead can't be illuminated clearly.
It would actually get foggy at night, which no one expected.
So the driving soldier slowed down the car and stopped every fifteen minutes to check the conditions of the road and ice in front of him to prevent the car from driving to a location with cracked ice and causing the ice to break.
Because the ice in Yun City is really unstable, the chariot's tires dare not tie anti-skid chains. They can only rely on modified tires to provide rapid anti-skid measures, but the speed of the vehicle will definitely not be much faster.
The car stopped after driving for less than an hour. A soldier got out of the car to check the condition of the car and the road. However, he let out a scream in the middle of the journey, accompanied by a burst of animal bites.
It's a wolf!
Su Mi secretly thought something was wrong, as the giant crocodile's tailbone appeared in her hand under the cover of her backpack.
Seeing Su Mi rushing out of the car with weapons in hand, the soldiers behind him got out of the car not to be outdone.
There are not many wolves, but this type of wolf is different from the wolves in the forest. Most of the wolves in the forest have mottled hair, and their size is between medium and large dogs, not too big. Most of the wolves they killed were white, and occasionally one was gray.
I counted 7, not too many.
But no matter where they are, wolves are social animals and possess intelligence.
Not far away, wolves howled loudly. The frequency of the sound fluctuated constantly, some high and some low.
These seven are testing their strength.
"Move all the bodies back and get everyone into the trunk!"
Qin Hao and others were obviously more experienced than Su Mi in dealing with beast attacks. So everyone entered the back compartment and closed the door tightly. Only Qin Hao entered the driver's seat at the front of the car. When everyone was ready, he started the headlights on the front and rear of the car and the searchlight on the top.
Once the three sets of lights are turned on, although the visibility is low at too far away, the approaching wolves can be seen clearly.
The soldiers in the rear compartment looked out from the gap reserved in the car body.
One by one, snow-white wolves gradually emerged from the fog.
The white mist on the ice is like a mirage integrated into the dark night, and a group of white wolves looks so unreal.
No one in the car spoke, and even their breathing became very light, for fear that if they got too serious, they would attract the attention of the wolves outside.
"Aww!"
A loud wolf roar came from behind the chariot, and the sound resounded across the ice. With this roar, Su Mi felt waves of extremely small vibrations starting to appear around the chariot.
It couldn't be seen clearly from the outside, but Su Mi could imagine that snowy white wolves, much larger than jungle wolves, jumped from a distance and made a shock when they landed on the ice.
Eyes were densely packed in the mist, and the expressions of the soldiers in the rear compartment had changed.
"What to do with so many wolves?" Ma Dexiang murmured to himself, but suddenly attracted the attention of the wolf closest to the car.
I saw it suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the position of the car that made the sound. Its four claws grabbed the welded iron sheet of the car body, and one claw desperately tried to claw inside.
However, the gap is too small, and its claws are too big to reach the human inside.
Following the actions of one wolf, many wolves imitated their companions and jumped to both sides of the car, grabbing the iron sheet. Some jumped directly to the roof of the car and scratched the iron sheet of the car roof with their claws.
There was a "Zila" sound, and the searchlight connected to the roof of the car went out.
"Oops, the searchlight wire must have been chewed."
Su Mi is the calmest among the warriors. "It doesn't matter, just don't go out. Qin Hao, how is the overall performance of the car?"
Su Mi shouted through the intercom between the rear compartment and the front of the car.
"It's not a big problem, it's just that the climate here is too humid. I don't know if there will be any problem after dawn."
Everyone is in the car, and the car is made of welded metal. As long as they don't get out, no matter how large the number of wolves are, they can't get into the car.
The biggest problem now is whether the car's braking device and other systems will be frozen after such heavy moisture intrusion and at such low temperatures.
However, Su Mi, who had never encountered anything like this in her previous life, and even there were so many soldiers with combat and outdoor experience in the carriage, thought of the problem too simply.
Alas
