Worried she might wrongly blame someone, she decided to test the beggar.
She brought the oatmeal she had intended to give her grandfather and handed it to the beggar. “Hey, this is for you. Leave quickly after you eat this.”
Hudson was hungry, so he wolfed down the entire bowl of oatmeal in a blink of an eye.
Indeed, he eats like a beggar. Shannon felt more assured.
However, Hudson showed no sign of leaving after finishing the food.
Shannon then asked him coldly, “You’re done eating. Why aren’t you leaving?”
Hudson smiled. “I shouldn’t just eat your food for free. How about this. I’ll save your lives today.”
What?
Shannon’s defenses came back up again right after she had just relaxed them.
This little beggar was proclaiming that he was going to save some soldiers? Of course, there was something fishy about him.
“What do you mean by that?”
At that moment, the guard reappeared with the bullets.
Shannon immediately sent him a meaningful look for him to load the bullets.
Hudson took a look at both ends of the alley and muttered to himself, “It should be time.”
Shannon’s first reaction was that there was an ambush, so she immediately gripped the pistol at her waist.
John, who was hidden at a dark corner, noticed the commotion too.
However, he ignored it upon the realization that it was just about a little beggar whining for food.
In fact, it was the perfect time for him to slip into the grounds to carry out his theft operation.
In fact, it was the perfect time for him to slip into the grounds to carry out his theft operation.
He immediately pressed his communication device. Action!
The sound of thundering footsteps could be heard echoing throughout the alley in the next second.
Two packs of wolves appeared from both ends of the alley and were all dashing towards the center.
Shannon’s hands could not stop shivering. She began to feel shortness of breath.
F***, why would there be wild wolves in the Central Plains?
Moreover, these wild wolves are as huge as calves! They’re definitely ferocious and ready to kill...
The menacing sheen from their eyes induced fear in whoever dared lay eyes on them.
They did not look like the wolves in Eurasia.
“There’s been an ambush!” Shannon was flustered for a while before she finally calmed herself down. “Guard the door!”
Shannon and the guard immediately guarded the entrance against both sides while continuously shooting the wolves.
The gunshots immediately attracted the attention of the two guards inside the grounds. They quickly dashed to the entrance and began shooting the wolves as well.
That was all the defense available within this military compound.
Amidst the chaos, Hudson saw his opportunity. With merely one roll into the grounds, he slipped into the military compound and stood guard outside Paul Hunt’s house.
Zeke’s order to him was to protect Paul Hunt. He wanted to protect this final defense line.
There were many wolves who were extremely fast with their actions. It was too difficult for Shannon and the rest of the team to aim their shots at them properly.
The wolves continued to attack as their weak spots had not been hit.
The weapons seemed to have little to no effect on them at all.
In just one minute, the wolves had pounced on them and were biting away maniacally.
Indeed, these were wild Siberian wolves that were cruel beyond reason; they could aim perfectly at human beings’ vital points.
After one of the guards had his neck bitten, bright red blood spurted everywhere, making him lose his ability to fight.
They had also run out of bullets.
After all, Paul Hunt had left the army. He couldn’t provide a large number of bullets for them.
Worried, Shannon tossed her gun aside and began fighting with her Swiss Army blade.
She was the best in close combat. Every attack she delivered was a fatal move. She managed to kill off three wild wolves in a split second.
However, she was already seriously injured, with wounds all over her body.
The defense finally fell at the entrance, and a few of the wild wolves rushed in.
Oh no!
Shannon’s brain buzzed.
The wolves are probably targeting Grandpa!
