Year: I planted trees in Saihanba

Xia Tian and the others stared intently at the pack of wolves in front of them.

Although I couldn't understand their communication, the tense atmosphere washed over me like a tidal wave, growing ever stronger.

Their hearts were in their throats, as if they would be swallowed up in an instant by the slightest disturbance.

The old wolf king strode steadily and firmly toward the new wolf king, step by step.

Each step felt like a heavy hammer blow.

It struck everyone's hearts heavily, causing them to tremble violently.

Summer stared intently at the scene, her heart pounding wildly in her chest.

It looked as if it could burst out of his chest at any moment.

His palms were already soaked with sweat, and his hand holding the gun trembled slightly involuntarily.

His mind was in chaos, with all sorts of terrifying scenes flashing through his mind like a revolving lantern.

One moment the wolves were baring their teeth and claws, charging towards them in a frenzy.

One moment the team members were under fierce attack from the wolf pack.

They were all injured and fell to the ground, their blood staining the desolate land red.

But at the same time, he secretly anticipated the fierce confrontation between the two packs of wolves.

This could be the key to their escape from this life-or-death crisis.

Although the new wolf king harbored some fear of the old wolf king's powerful aura deep down.

But how could it easily give up the "prey" that was already in its mouth?

Its body leaned slightly forward, its limbs taut like an arrow about to be released from a bow.

They adopted a posture of being ready to launch an attack at any time.

Its eyes gleamed with a fierce and greedy light, as if it were making a declaration to the old wolf king.

It will not back down easily; it is determined to get this "prey".

Xia Tian watched the two wolf kings, who were on the verge of exchanging blows, and secretly groaned inwardly.

"What should we do? If they really start fighting, maybe we still have a chance to survive."

He kept mentally calculating various coping strategies.

They were trying to find a way to lead everyone to safety.

At the same time, he prayed silently in his heart.

The situation could develop in a direction favorable to them, allowing them to weather this ordeal smoothly.

"Oh~"

"Everyone who meets you has a share!"

"Oh~"

"impossible!"

The old and new wolf kings continued their exchange, one sentence at a time.

They seemed convinced that Xia Tian and the others were theirs for the taking, with no chance of escape.

Summer's gaze inadvertently swept over the figure of Lone Wolf not far away.

Then it suddenly dawned on him that this lone wolf was the same one he had encountered yesterday.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, it is very likely that these two groups of wolves know each other.

It's just unknown what deep-seated hatred exists between them.

We still have no grudges against each other.

Or perhaps there are other, more complex relationships involved.

Summer's brows furrowed tightly into a "川" shape, her heart filled with doubt and unease.

What exactly is the relationship between this lone wolf and these two packs of wolves?

"Will they unite against us?"

This unknown factor is like a heavy, unyielding boulder.

It pressed against his chest, making him feel incredibly heavy, almost suffocating him.

At this moment, the surrounding environment seemed to be infected by the extremely tense atmosphere.

The gentle breeze, which had been soothing, suddenly became rapid.

The wind whistled and rustled the wild grass.

It was as if a tragic prelude was being played for the impending life-or-death struggle.

The distant sand dunes, illuminated by the morning light, appeared even more austere and solemn.

Like a detached bystander, quietly and coldly observing this thrilling life-or-death struggle.

As summer approached, they watched with growing anxiety as the two groups of wolves confronted each other.

A cloud of dust suddenly rose up not far away.

Summer's eyes lit up instantly, as if she had seen a glimmer of light in the darkness.

He looked closely and saw a jeep speeding towards him from a distance, which immediately put his mind at ease.

Today happens to be the day the Forestry Bureau delivers supplies to Bashang.

Although the Forestry Bureau itself was not having an easy time, Qu He made careful arrangements.

There has never been a shortage of supplies to the dam area.

When it was just Xia Tian and Feng Cheng on the dam, Xia Tian could take the initiative to ask for fewer supplies.

But now there is an advance team of five people in Bashang.

In the summer, he felt embarrassed to bring up the matter of taking less supplies from Bashang.

After all, apart from Zhao Tianshan, the other members of the advance team were all temporary workers.

Their rations were already pitifully small; if they asked for even less in the summer...

It's estimated that the advance team members on the dam will be starving.

If everyone is starving, people's hearts will fall apart.

If morale is low, it will be difficult to lead the team.

The jeep sped toward the camp from a distance.

The two groups of wolves in front of the camp naturally noticed the arrival of the jeep.

"Oh~"

"The prey has reinforcements, retreat!"

The new wolf alpha gave the pack the order to retreat.

Although it was filled with resentment, it was truly helpless.

They were already at a disadvantage against the humans in the camp who were carrying fire sticks.

Now that humanity has reinforcements, they'd better leave quickly.

Are we really going to stay here and "make dumplings"?

Of course, the ones "making dumplings" here are themselves.

Upon hearing the wolf king's command to retreat, the wolf pack began to retreat in an orderly manner.

Before long, the wolf pack disappeared completely from the camp's sight.

Just then, the jeep delivering supplies came to a steady stop at the camp.

"Xia, what happened?"

Before the jeep had even come to a complete stop, Qu and that familiar voice came from inside.

As soon as the jeep came to a complete stop, Qu He rushed over impatiently.

"Director Qu, what brings you here?"

As Xia Tian watched Qu He rush towards her, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

It was as if I had found a safe haven in the darkness.

Seeing familiar faces in the perilous and unknown Saihanba made him feel especially at ease.

"Xia, what exactly happened?"

Qu He's face was full of concern.

Xia Tian recounted the unusual situation that had just occurred with the wolf pack to Qu He in detail.

From the wolves' unusual activity patterns to their fearless demeanor in the face of gunfire.

He then described in detail the intense confrontation between the old and new wolf kings.

After listening, Qu He frowned and said with a solemn expression.

"This is strange. Wolves shouldn't behave like this. There must be some major changes in Saihanba."

"Uncle Qu, I guess it's still because of the drought."

"Food has decreased on the dam, and the wolf pack has run out of food, which is why they are taking the risk."

As Xia Tian put away the gun in his hand, he told Qu He his guess.

His heart was also filled with worry, as the environment in Saihanba was already harsh.

Now the wolf pack is exhibiting such unusual behavior again.

This undoubtedly adds more difficulties and challenges to their afforestation work.

Qu He nodded slightly, looked in the direction where the wolf pack had disappeared, and said after a moment of contemplation.

"Whatever the reason, we must take it seriously."

"This concerns the safety of our entire Saihanba afforestation plan."

“If wild animals frequently invade, your lives will be in danger, let alone planting trees.”

Xia Tian wholeheartedly agreed. Looking at the supplies Qu He had brought, he said with great emotion.

"Uncle Qu, we are so grateful that today was the day to deliver the supplies."

"Otherwise, I probably would have lost my life here today."

Summer was filled with emotion; if Qu He hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Qu He patted Xia Tian's shoulder with a look of lingering fear and said.

"I just heard gunshots and sensed something was wrong."

"That's why I urged Xiao Pang to drive faster."

"If it hadn't been for the perfect timing, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"However, the problem of this wild beast still needs to be solved as soon as possible!"

"It's impossible for us to arrive at the exact time every time!"

Xia Tian nodded, indicating her agreement with Qu He's words.

"I'll contact the hunters in the dam area when I get back to see if they have any experience dealing with wolf packs."

"It would be great if we could hire a few hunters to help guard the area for a while."

Qu He spoke again, offering a solution to the problem.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianshan frowned and interjected.

"Director Qu, what if even the hunters can't do anything about it?"

"If that pack of wolves comes again, even with just Xia Gong and me, and two guns, we might not be able to handle them!"

"We can't be on guard every day, that would really slow down the tree planting progress."

Qu He frowned upon hearing Zhao Tianshan's words, and said firmly.

"There will always be a way."

"If you ask me, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days?"

"Why don't we just take the initiative and wipe out this pack of wolves in one fell swoop!"

"It's a good opportunity to make some improvements!"

Upon hearing Xia Tian's suggestion, Zhao Tianshan's face showed obvious interest.

Qu He's eyes lit up when he heard Xia Tian's words.

"Let's discuss this properly later. Let's get everyone to unload the supplies first."

Xia Tian nodded upon hearing this, then turned to the still-shaken advance team members not far away and spoke to them.

"Everyone, let's unload and organize the supplies first!"

With Xiao Pang's help, the advance team members quickly moved the supplies to the storage room.

"Alright, everyone, take a rest today."

"I'll tell you the rest tonight or tomorrow."

Summer also thoughtfully gave the advance team members a day off.

After all, everyone was more or less frightened today, so it's necessary to give everyone a rest.

"it is good!"

Upon hearing Xia Tian's arrangements, the advance team members all cheered in approval.

Although we are all employees of the Forestry Bureau now, there are still differences between employees.

The employees of the Baxia Forestry Bureau have rest days, one day off per week.

There is no such thing as a rest day in Bashang.

At least for the current stage, there are no rest days in Bashang.

Being able to take an extra day off during this upcoming busy period is incredibly precious to everyone.

Qu He stood to the side, not saying much.

Although Qu He holds the position of the chief commander of the tree planting work in the Saihanba area,

However, the one actually in charge was Xia Tian, ​​the deputy commander-in-chief.

Qu He clearly wouldn't embarrass Xia Tian at this time.

"Alright, everyone, go and get some rest!"

Xia Tian said something to the advance team members.

Upon hearing Xia Tian's words, the four members of the advance team headed towards the dugout.

Xia Tian, ​​along with Qu He, Feng Cheng, and Zhao Tianshan, arrived at his dugout.

Xiao Pang was responsible for keeping watch outside.

"By the way, Uncle Qu, you still haven't told us what you came to the dam for this time?"

Xia Tian looked at Qu He, her eyes filled with curiosity.
