Mortal counterattack

Although Leng Yiyao's brother was also at the border, he was not at the military camp where Zhou Chen and the others went this time, so Zhou Chen did not let Leng Yiyao go.

Otherwise, Zhou Chen would definitely take Leng Yiyao with him. This was also the empire's arrangement. The soldiers who were recruited were not allowed to stay in military camps close to home, in order to prevent them from escaping.

However, although it is the closest military camp to Qinghua County, the distance is still more than 500 miles.

Qinghua County is the nearest county town. There are no other cities in the middle. Of course, there may be some small villages, but there won't be many people. After all, the closer you get to the border, the more dangerous it is.

Three days later, Zhou Chenbian followed Zhao Kuo and left Qinghua County. Master Youxia did not have to worry about Leng Yiyao's safety in Zhouchen. Apart from Zhou Chen and Zhao Kuo, the remaining escorts this time were a hundred officers and soldiers.

These officers and soldiers were drawn by Mr. Xia from the people who defended the city in Qinghua County. In addition to money, the most important things they were responsible for escorting this time were food and clothing.

They pulled fifty carts of supplies, with an average of two people responsible for one carriage. Although they took the official road, due to the snow on the road, they didn't go very fast. They only covered seventy or eighty miles in a day. distance.

According to their advancing speed, it would take at least seven days to reach the military camp. There was no danger on the road on the first day. Everyone rested on the official road and simply ate some dry food before resting.

Although the clothes they brought were thick, everyone except Zhou Chen and Zhao Kuo were shivering from the cold in the middle of the night.

At dawn the next day, everyone started on their way. The first half of the day was fine, but in the second half of the day, snowflakes began to fall in the sky. The surrounding area was completely white, and the sight was not good. Standing at the front of the team, you could not see behind.

"Brother Zhao, I will go behind and watch you and continue to lead the way." Zhao Kuo agreed and the two of them separated. There was no way Zhou Chen didn't know the way. If he was allowed to lead the way, he might be taken to a ditch at any time. Went.

After several hours of traveling, the sky gradually darkened. Everyone took out the dry firewood they had prepared in advance as a starter. After lighting it, they put on the firewood chopped nearby and started several fires.

Everyone sat next to the fire to warm themselves up. Zhao Kuo also felt a little cold at this time and couldn't stand it.

Zhou Chen felt okay and not cold. For some reason, he always felt that the weather was a little unusual because it was so cold. Forget about ordinary soldiers, even Zhao Kuo, a ninth-grade master, couldn't bear it. Strange.

However, after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of a reason and had to give up. Zhou Chen took the dry food that Zhao Kuo had passed and sat down and started eating.

"I always feel uneasy. Brother Zhao will arrange for a few more brothers to keep vigil tonight." Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "I know that."

After eating dry food, everyone sat together next to the fire and began to rest. Zhou Chen sat on the carriage and looked at the surrounding situation. It was snowing heavily and everything Zhou Chen looked at was white.

Even the carriage behind them was covered with a thick layer of white snow. In the latter half of the night, the person responsible for keeping watch rested on the carriage and dozed off, while Zhou Chen sat cross-legged in the carriage with his eyes closed and concentrating.

Although his eyes were closed, Zhou Chen did not fall asleep. He was always paying attention to the movements around him, and nothing could escape his ears.

For Zhou Chen, sitting like this with eyes closed and concentrating is equivalent to taking a rest, and he will still be energetic when he wakes up tomorrow.

Nothing happened all night, until it was almost dawn, Zhou Chen heard footsteps suddenly coming from the distance, and they were accompanied by gasps. There were many sounds, and Zhou Chen slowly opened his eyes. .

At a glance, a group of white wolves appeared at a distance of forty or fifty meters in the distance. It looked like there were at least forty or fifty in number.

Zhou Chen raised his eyes slightly and immediately woke up Zhao Kuo beside him. Zhao Kuo stood up and said, "Brothers, please stop sleeping."

Hearing his voice, everyone stood up lazily from their sleep and stretched. When they saw a lot of wolves in front of them, they were all frightened, "Oh my god, why are there so many wolves?"

Not only were there wolves in front of them, but also behind them, and there were also wolves in the nearby mountains and forests. The total number of these wolves was at least 150, but fortunately these were more common. The strength of wolves is generally between 8.

For a moment, everyone picked up their weapons and prepared to fight, and guarded all the food behind them. The wolves were obviously eyeing the supplies behind them.

There is a lot of pork in the supplies. These wolves should be targeting them because they are hungry, but they will not give meat to these wolves. Although no one cares if the supplies are less, it is difficult to say if there is too much. Well, maybe they all will be beheaded.

Zhao Kuo looked at the wolves around him and said, "Everyone, light the torches, these beasts are afraid of fire." Then he looked at Zhou Chen and asked, "Brother Zhou, what should we do now?"

Although the wolves would not dare to approach for a while with the torch in hand, there was no way around it as time passed. Zhou Chen gritted his teeth and said, "There is nothing we can do now. Everyone get in the car and rush out."

The wheels of the carriage are all anti-slip, and even the horses' hooves are anti-slip. As long as you don't go too fast, you'll basically be fine.

Zhao Kuo gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers, get in the car and we rush out."

Then Zhou Chen and Zhao Kuo took the lead and rushed over. Everyone behind them got on the carriage and followed closely. Seeing that they wanted to break out of the encirclement, the wolves also became bolder and rushed towards the carriage.

Fear of fire is the nature of animals, but compared with hunger, it is nothing. They overcame their fear of fire and rushed towards the carriage. The first to be attacked were naturally Zhou Chen and the two in the front.

However, both of them were entry-level warriors. These hungry wolves were nothing. Zhou Chen's black abyss came out of his body and slashed one by one. In an instant, he killed a bloody path out. Zhao Kuo went to the back to help.

Zhao Kuo quickly shuttled between the carriages and helped others deal with the white wolf that jumped on the carriage.

A team of carriages on the road ran at a high speed. Seeing that they were about to break through the encirclement of the white wolves, Zhou Chen stood on the carriage covered in blood like a killing god. The white wolves on both sides did not dare to jump onto the carriage where Zhou Chen was.

As for the blood on Zhou Chen's body, it was naturally wolf blood. Zhou Chen, who had reached the Iron Shirt Breaking Limit, could not hurt him even if he stood there without moving.

They ran for several miles, and the wolves kept chasing them until they heard a long howl. The wolves stopped and stopped chasing them. Seeing that the wolves did not continue to chase them, everyone's hanging hearts were put down.

The speed also slowly decreased, and they stopped only after they drove out ten miles.

After counting, one carriage was missing, and the two people in charge of the carriage were gone. The result was known without thinking. As for the others, they were slightly injured.

Zhao Kuo was also sitting next to Zhou Chen and breathing heavily. Since they escaped from the wolf pack for five miles, the heavy snow in the sky had stopped, and after running for another two miles, the sun appeared in the sky.

Everyone, including Zhao Kuo, was complaining that "this damn weather is finally clear", while Zhou Chen's face was not very good.
