Year: I planted trees in Saihanba

At this moment, Zhao Tianshan seemed to suddenly remember something important.

He quickly pulled a notebook from his pocket, handed it to Xia Tian with both hands, and said.

"Mr. Xia, these are some questions I've compiled today."

"Everyone encountered a lot of confusion during the learning process, and they all wrote it down here."

"Could you explain it to everyone and help us answer our questions?"

Summer took the notebook and saw that it was filled with all sorts of questions.

These issues cover almost every aspect of afforestation.

He couldn't help but feel very gratified by Zhao Tianshan's serious attitude and nodded in approval.

"Okay, let's set aside some time tomorrow to discuss these issues together and clear up everyone's doubts."

The three then chatted for a while about the details of the recent tree planting plan, with everyone expressing their opinions in a lively atmosphere.

As they were talking, Feng Cheng suddenly changed the subject, staring intently at Xia Tian, ​​and asked half-jokingly.

"Xia, did you notice anything unusual when you went out today?"

"Why do you seem to be in such a good mood since you came back? Is something good happening?"

Xia Tian felt a tightness in her chest, but her face remained calm as she responded with a light laugh.

"That afforestation site was even better than I expected; the terrain and soil conditions were excellent."

"I'm thinking that I can plant a large area of ​​larch trees there in the future."

"It won't be long before that place becomes a lush forest, and people will naturally feel more relaxed."

Feng Cheng looked at Xia Tian with some skepticism, but seeing that he looked normal, he didn't press the matter further.

the next morning,

The first rays of sunlight gently bathed the campsite, casting a golden glow upon the land.

The group gathered early, full of energy and eager for new knowledge.

In the summer, sitting on a stool, basking in the morning sunlight, I began to answer everyone's questions.

He explained things in a simple and easy-to-understand way, and also incorporated many practical examples.

It makes originally obscure and difficult knowledge easy to understand.

Everyone listened intently, with people occasionally raising new questions.

Summer patiently answered all my questions.

The atmosphere was lively, and a thirst for knowledge permeated the entire camp.

Just as everyone was immersed in the ocean of knowledge,

The usually quiet Xiao Liu suddenly pricked up its ears, its fur stood on end, and it began barking wildly at a spot not far away.

Its cry is sharp and rapid, full of vigilance and unease.

"Oh no, wolves!"

Xia Tian keenly sensed the danger and followed Xiao Liu's gaze into the distance.

A group of dark figures were slowly approaching.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a pack of wolves.

Everyone tensed up immediately, and the previously lively scene instantly fell silent.

Fear and worry were written all over everyone's faces.

But soon, everyone sprang into action, grabbing whatever tools were at hand to prepare for the impending danger.

Zhao Tianshan reacted quickly, rushing into the dugout and retrieving his gun.

His movements were practiced and his eyes were firm, as if he were ready to fight at any moment.

Summer didn't dare to delay, and rushed into the dugout right after him, grabbing the gun hanging on the wall.

He swiftly loaded the bullets, cocked the gun, and his eyes revealed a resolute determination.

Zhang Fulin gripped the shovel tightly in his hand.

His gaze involuntarily drifted to the gun in Zhao Tianshan's hand, his eyes filled with envy and longing.

But he knew in his heart that he would never dare to think about the gun in Xia Tian's hand.

Xia Tian gripped his gun tightly, his eyes fixed intently on the approaching pack of wolves, his mind racing.

His brows were furrowed, and he felt vaguely uneasy.

"Something's not right, Lao Zhao!"

Xia Tian looked at the wolf pack not far away and said to Zhao Tianshan in a deep voice.

Zhao Tianshan's expression was equally solemn. He stared intently at the wolf pack and responded in a deep voice to Xia Tian's words.

"Yes!"

Logically speaking, wolf packs are usually nocturnal.

They are all active at night, using the cover of darkness to hunt for prey.

Few wolf packs are active at this time of day in the early morning.

Furthermore, wolf packs rarely approach human settlements on their own initiative.

After all, humans are a dangerous presence for them.

Xia Tian lowered his voice and said to Zhao Tianshan.

"These wolves are behaving very strangely; there must be a reason behind it."

"We have to be careful and not fire rashly. If we provoke them, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"We're probably not even enough to fill the teeth of these wolves!"

Zhao Tianshan nodded, holding the gun steadily in his hand, his eyes revealing determination and vigilance.

At this moment, everyone in the camp gathered around, each holding various tools.

There were shovels, hoes, and wooden sticks.

Although everyone's face was filled with tension, Xia Tian and Zhao Tianshan's composure was infectious.

They all forced themselves to calm down and prepared to face this unknown challenge.

"Old Zhao, I'll fire two shots first. If that scares these wolves away, everything will be fine!"

"If that doesn't work, we'll have to think of something else."

Xia Tian looked at Zhao Tianshan, his voice slightly heavy, but his tone revealed a hint of determination.

"it is good!"

Upon hearing Xia Tian's voice, Zhao Tianshan thought for a moment and then agreed.

He knew the situation was critical and this was perhaps the best solution at the moment.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Summer raised his gun and fired three shots into the sky.

Gunshots echoed across the open sand, startling the sand pheasants not far away.

Upon hearing the gunshot, the wolf pack instinctively took a few steps back at the signal of their alpha wolf.

But they did not leave.

It was still watching the people in the camp intently from a short distance away.

His eyes revealed greed and ferocity.

"No, Engineer Xia!"

Seeing that the shooting had no effect on the wolf pack, Zhao Tianshan looked at Xia Tian with a very grim expression.

Xia Tian also saw the wolf pack's movements, and his expression became somewhat serious.

He wondered to himself why this pack of wolves would come to this place where humans were active so early in the morning.

This is completely contrary to the laws of nature.

Unless the wolf pack is extremely hungry and has reached the point of being indiscriminate in their hunger,

Or perhaps something bigger has taken over the wolf pack's territory, forcing them to risk approaching humans.

Although the probability of either of these scenarios occurring is extremely small, we cannot rule out the possibility.

The wolves watched the group of humans.

Especially the two humans holding "fire sticks" that could make a loud noise, dared not make any rash moves.

The wolf king could sense that the "fire poker" posed a great threat to them.

A single misstep could cost a companion their life.

They came out to hunt, not to be prey.

Seeing the wolf pack, Xia Tian and the others dared not make any rash moves.

If they can successfully drive away the wolves, that's fine; if they can't...

They'll probably all perish here in Saihanba today, and their remains may never be found.

Summer looked at the wolf pack and began racking her brains for a solution.

If they cannot get rid of these wolves, they will face annihilation.

Just when the two sides were deadlocked, another unexpected event occurred.

Summer's sharp eyes caught a glimpse of another wolf running towards them from not far away.

Xia Tian inwardly groaned; they hadn't even dealt with this pack of wolves yet, and now another one had appeared.

It seems like one problem after another is brewing.

His heart was filled with worry, wondering if the two packs of wolves were actually working together.

If they were in cahoots, then there would be no point in resisting; they would have no chance of winning.

If it weren't for the two wolves fighting each other, they might still have a sliver of hope.

"Oh~"

The howling of wolves came from afar, the sound long and mournful.

The wolf king surrounding Xia Tian's camp heard this wolf howl.

Its body trembled slightly. Although humans couldn't see the change in its expression, its face did change.

It was all too familiar with that wolf howl; it was the howl of the old wolf king it had driven out of the pack.

Summer watched the lone wolf's agile figure running towards them from not far away.

A strange sense of familiarity welled up in my heart.

But for a moment, I couldn't recall where this strange sense of familiarity came from.

Just as Xia Tian was pondering, the lone wolf appeared not far from the camp.

"Oh~"

Although the lone wolf was quite old, its howl was incredibly sharp, as if it were announcing its existence to the world.

The wolf pack's alpha wolf heard the old wolf king's howl.

It responded with an "Ooh-woo~".

"Oh~"

This means the new wolf king of the pack.

"This was the prey I spotted first!"

"Oh~"

"Lone Wolf, also known as the Old Wolf King, responded."

"This prey, everyone who sees it gets a piece!"

"Oh~"

The new wolf king was not to be outdone.

"Why should I give it to you since I found it first?"

"Don't forget, you're no longer the wolf king."
