In places where there is no snow, the footprints are not clear. Due to the strong wind, the traces have been smoothed out long ago. Even with the reconnaissance skills, it is not clear at all, so Lin Yi can only use his hands and feet to slowly climb up.
, careful not to be distracted at all.
At this time, Lin Yi's four-point physical fitness and four-point fighting skills showed their power. After climbing less than twenty meters, his body quickly adapted.
I climbed this 200-meter-high mountain without any danger.
Sure enough, I could see far from the height I stood on, but because of the snow at this time, the visibility was not very high, and I could barely see even the next mountain top.
This made Lin Yi a little helpless. He always felt that the enthusiasm of the Eighth Squad Leader was in the wrong place and the visibility was not high. Why did you put the red flag so high? If you put it so high, others can't see clearly.
But tradition is tradition. Even if Lin Yi thought it was unreasonable, he still raised the red flag.
At this time, Lin Yi wanted to see where the patrols had gone, but in the current heavy snow weather, even if he used his reconnaissance skills, he could barely see the next hilltop.
So I estimated the time and wanted to see if the range of the Eagle Eye skill could reach them. At this time, the patrol officers estimated that they were only about an hour away from their position, and they should be able to reach them, so they simply used the Eagle Eye skill.
But as soon as the eagle eye skill was turned on, a dense red dot appeared in the northeast direction. This shocked Lin Yi. The red dot was only one kilometer away from the outpost. Why didn't he notice it just now?
The eagle eye skill quickly scanned in the northeast direction. It hadn't been scanned for a few seconds, but just one second before the skill cooled down, a red dot finally appeared.
It's a pack of wolves.
The wolves themselves are white and gray, and the heavy snow covers them, making them harder to spot.
But there are only seven or eight wolves in this group. A wolf pack of this size can almost be regarded as the smallest group.
A small pack means a weak survivability, which logically shouldn't be the case. Lin Yi has been coming to the plateau outpost for a while. He has seen packs of forty or fifty wolves, and packs of twenty or thirty wolves, at least ten.
I have also seen two or three.
But this was Lin Yi's first time seeing a pack of seven or eight wolves.
etc.
Why do these seven or eight wolves seem familiar, especially since there was a lame wolf just now? Could it be that this is the wolf pack that attacked Aru last time?
At that time, several of the wolves were killed by him. Now they still dare to approach the outpost. Are they waiting to be exterminated?
No, Aru hasn't come back yet, so why are they hiding here?
The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. Lin Yi picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Attention, backup personnel, a pack of wolves is found one kilometer away. Please prepare for defense and inform the patrol personnel through the radio."
The backup officer quickly replied: "Yes, we will notify the patrol personnel immediately. Platoon leader, do you want us to pick you up? Are you safe now?"
The wolves are still at least one kilometer away from me, and judging from their posture, their target is definitely not coming towards me. The direction of movement is obviously towards the outpost.
Lin Yi replied: "Don't worry about me. The backup personnel are not allowed to leave the post except under special circumstances. You just concentrate on the preparation. I will rush back in a moment."
It is said that it is easier to go up the mountain than it is to go down the mountain. This is not necessarily appropriate when applied to snow-capped mountains, especially for people who stay near snow-capped mountains for a long time.
Without skis, Lin Yi sat down on the snow, controlled the speed with his feet, slid down, and quickly landed on the ground.
Then the reconnaissance skill quickly scans over. Although the reconnaissance skill may not be able to scan out the hidden wolves, most of the moving wolves cannot escape.
The situation was normal. Lin Yi quickly ran to the post, but before he could take a few steps, he saw three backup personnel coming to the door of the post with guns and watching Lin Yi. At this time, Lin Yi's intercom also rang, "Platoon.
Commander, we are supporting you at the door, you can rest assured to come back safely."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Yi immediately understood why the eighth squad leader had planted a red flag on the mountain. Placing a red flag means that someone is thinking about you. Even if you can only see it when you are close, your heart will feel warm.
Lin Yi picked up the intercom and replied: "Copy that, I'll rush back quickly."
In less than ten minutes, Lin Yi ran back to the guard post. At this time, a security guard with a gun asked: "Platoon leader, where is the approximate location of the wolf pack now? I can't see it at all."
Lin Yi pointed to the southeast. They should be here now, but they are moving very slowly. They are probably not avoiding the heavy snow. I wonder if they are hunting. Are there any wild animals near our post?
The backup staff was a little puzzled, "There are no wild animals near our outpost. Except for the foxes who often steal Aru's food, there are no big animals. Besides, we now feed dog food in a rationed amount, and the foxes are already good."
I haven’t seen him in a few days, and it’s snowy now, so the fox probably won’t come out casually.”
Suddenly Lin realized, could it be the task of protecting the vegetable cellar?
If a few of these wolves were killed by him, they would definitely hold a grudge. They would definitely not dare to confront the outpost. Could it be that they wanted to take revenge on themselves by destroying the outdoor vegetable cellar?
By the way, you can also use the vegetables in the vegetable cellar to attract hares and other animals for hunting?
But could wolves be that smart? Lin Yi estimated that these wolves simply wanted to eat the vegetables in the vegetable cellar to satisfy their hunger.
Lin Yi had just used the weather skill. Although the weather skill was not displayed for a long period of time, it was enough to tell that the heavy snow would never stop in the past half day.
During the heavy snow, hunting becomes extremely difficult. Not only the number of wolves in this group is small, but also several of them are injured. Hunting becomes difficult, so they probably have to eat vegetarian food to satisfy their hunger.
As for why they knew there were vegetables stored here, it was probably because Master Wu went to the vegetable cellar to get vegetables a while ago and was spotted by these wolves following him with revenge. Otherwise, even with the five-meter-thick snow layer, the smell of vegetables would not be emitted.
Ah, the wolf's nose isn't that bright either.
If you think about it this way, you can explain why the system gave itself this task. It turns out to be a cause and effect cycle.
After Lin Yi returned to the post with the backup personnel, he went directly to the second floor and stared at the wolves intently. He had to let these wolves understand that the post was a place they could not mess with, even the vegetables in the post were not
They can be destroyed at will.
Lin Yi could feel that these wolves would make moves tonight.
An hour and a half later, Deputy Squad Leader Zhu ran back with the patrol team, covered in snow. As soon as he came back, Master Wu ran out with a teapot, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone, come and drink some milk tea."
Deputy squad leader Zhu waved his hand, "It's not hard work. When we see the red flag flying on the top of the mountain to welcome us, it will be worth it no matter how tired we are."
