Reborn in 1963: I Hunted and Stockpiled Meat During a Famine

"Turn down this road later and head towards Xishan. There's cargo there."

"Is it a large shipment?"

"Hare."

How many?

"A group, go check it out."

Qin Kang turned a corner, and everyone immediately followed suit, changing direction and proceeding along the route indicated by Liu Qingsong.

As they walked, they suddenly heard a rustling sound overhead. Looking up, they saw a completely black animal, which looked like a giant black rat, quietly squatting on a tree trunk, observing Qin Qiming and the others.

Wherever Qin Qiming and his group went, the black rat followed.

"How did the gray thief end up here?" Liu Qingsong glanced at it, his face showing surprise. "They should have stocked up on food before autumn. The pine forest is quite a distance from here, what is it doing here?"

"Old man!"

Qin Kang's shout interrupted Qin Qiming and Liu Qingsong's thoughts, and everyone immediately gathered around.

Not far ahead, a white rabbit was covered in blood. Its flesh and internal organs had been eaten, and even its skin was almost completely gnawed away. Its fur was covered with bite marks.

"There's another one over there!"

Qin Qiming pointed to the west, and everyone looked in that direction. There was another identical rabbit skin there.

"Too late, it's been robbed."

"Father, these bite marks seem to be left by wild wolves?"

“That’s right, the bloodstains aren’t dry yet.”

As soon as the village chief finished speaking, he tensed up, looked around, and gripped his gun tightly: "Get ready!"

There's something nearby!

The group quickly grabbed their guns, cautiously surveyed their surroundings, and then huddled together, having previously been scattered.

Qin Kang, who had been standing in front holding a gun, squatted down and threw two tattered rabbit skins into his basket.

"Qiming, in the future, if you encounter this situation when you go into the mountains, do not pick up wild rabbit skins."

"why?"

“There are many wild animals in the deep area, some of which have a very keen sense of smell. Even if the rabbit skin is frozen, the smell of blood on it is hard to cover up. Moreover, these skins have been eaten by wild animals, so in addition to the smell of blood, they are also tainted with their scent.”

Wild animals are social creatures; they never appear alone. They always travel in packs. Yesterday, Ma Deguo, the production team leader, led his men into the mountains and was attacked by a group of wild animals. Luckily, he was only bitten on the leg and was rescued.

Qin Qiming suddenly realized why the arrogant Ma Deguo hadn't come today; he was injured.

Qin Kang put the rabbit skin into his basket, looked around, and cautiously retreated as a group of people gradually approached.

Suddenly, a wolf howl came from afar, and everyone's expression changed immediately as they looked in that direction.

On a hillside not far away, two black dots suddenly jumped out, followed by a dense group of black dots that began to scatter in all directions.

"Is this a wolf pack hunting?"

"The wolf is hungry and has come out to find food."

Liu Qingsong gripped his gun tightly: "Qiming, remember, when fighting the wolf pack, we absolutely cannot scatter, we cannot retreat, and we cannot be afraid. Especially with a pack of wolves that are starving, if you retreat, they will attack without mercy! If any one of us retreats and exposes an opening, these beasts will find an opportunity, and then none of us will survive!"

"Understood!"

Before his rebirth, Qin Qiming was a special forces captain, so he was adept at these basic jungle skills.

He took a deep breath and gripped his old hunting rifle tightly.

I instantly felt my adrenaline surge.

As the wolves drew closer to their prey, the group finally recognized it as a pair of animals resembling deer.

One of them had a pair of forked horns on its head, and its straw-yellow fur stood out against the snow. Its tail was almost invisible, with only a small tuft of short hair visible behind its rear.

"I was looking for roe deer on the mountain, but they came to me on their own!"

In their panic, the two silly roe deer lost their sense of direction and charged towards Qin Qiming and the others haphazardly, even forgetting to turn.

As the village chief and Liu Qingsong saw the roe deer about to charge at them, they immediately opened fire, knocking them to the ground.

The roe deer struggled and let out a low growl. It convulsed and gradually stopped moving. The surrounding snow collapsed, revealing a large pool of blood.

"We absolutely cannot allow these roe deer to lead the wolf pack on their rampage, otherwise they will attract the wolf pack to nearby villages, and the consequences will be unimaginable!"

As the roe deer fell to the ground, blood filled the air, and the wolf pack began to scatter, but still kept a safe distance around the group.

Qin Qiming could clearly see the hunger and killing intent in the eyes of the wolves.

"More than twenty..."

"Shall we make a move?"

"Don't rush, observe for a while. If the alpha wolf doesn't die, it will remember our scent and might follow us into the village."

"Yes, this thing is cunning and patient. It won't act until the very end, but once it does, it must be wiped out completely!"

Qin Kang looked into the distance and suddenly shouted, "Father, that wolf has lost an eye!"

The group discovered that one of the wolves in the pack was exceptionally large, blind in one eye, and looked even more ferocious.

"The fifth brother said that he once stabbed the alpha wolf in the eye with a knife..."

"This is a dangerous man-eating wolf; we must eliminate it today!"

The group kept their eyes fixed on the wolf pack in the distance, their focus sharp.

The wolf pack gradually approached in a semi-circle, slowly surrounding the group.

The group loaded their guns and aimed them at the wolves.

The village chief even drew a large machete from his waist, holding a Mauser pistol in one hand and the machete in the other, looking very confident.

Suddenly, a wolf growled and leaned forward, and the pack immediately launched an attack.

"Maintain formation, Shan-ge, use the Mauser C96 to cover Qiming!" the village chief shouted. "Qiming, isn't your grandpa's gun barrel badly worn out? If you hit a wolf today, I'll get you a new one!"

Qin Qiming remained silent, his eyes fixed on the charging wolf pack, aiming his gun.

A pack of wolves pounced from afar.

Facing the wolf pack, Qin Qiming felt as if everything around him had stopped, and the wolves' movements seemed to slow down in his eyes.

"shot!"

"shooting!"

At his command, Qin Qiming pulled the trigger, and the bullet flew out of the barrel instantly. He could feel the warmth of the bullet as it shot out.

A wolf lunged at him, but was shot down and struggled in the snow, blood gushing from its front legs as it let out a mournful howl.

"Fight like this!"

The village chief, standing nearby, picked up a gun and fired several shots in quick succession, hitting the charging wolves.

After Liu Qingsong and Qin Kang each fired a shot, they immediately threw away their guns, grabbed their machetes, and faced the approaching pack of wolves.

"Qiming, go to the back and keep firing to maintain formation!"

Liu Qingsong gave a loud command, and he, Qin Kang, and the village chief adjusted their tactics. The three of them protected Qin Qiming in the center, blocking the wolves on all sides and leaving space for Qin Qiming to shoot.

The wolves pounced like madmen. Although the three adjusted their formation in time, they still exposed a weakness in an instant.

"Damn it!"

Qin Qiming instantly unleashed his ferocity, grabbed a short spear, pounced on the alpha wolf from behind, and plunged it deep into the wolf's back.
