Over a dozen wolf eyes gleamed like ghostly mes, staring at the group. They were so terrified they nearly screamed.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Afraid to make a sound, everyone mped their hands tightly over their mouths, biting their fingers until they almost drew blood. Having grown up in peaceful times, none of them had ever encountered wild beasts before.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    On the verge of breakdown, they shook violently, tears streaming down their faces.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The wolf pack formed a circle, slowly closing in on the group.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Yang Tongtong was the first to crack: "Are we going to die?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "Shut up!" Song Ze snapped. He grabbed a burning branch from the fire and cautiously extended it toward one of the wolves.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The wolf retreated a step.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Song Ze''s eyes lit up: "They''re afraid of fire. Quick, let''s make the fire bigger."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Sister Twin spoke up, trembling: "We can''t. We''re almost out of branches."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Like a bucket of cold water, her words instantly sobered Song Ze.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    He looked around and realized they were indeed running low on firewood. But the wolf pack kept inching closer - whenever the mes dimmed slightly, the alpha wolf would advance.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Realizing there was no escape, Song Ze broke down: "Ahhhh, am I really going to die here today?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Everyone''s emotions were already at the breaking point. Song Ze''s cry was like a match to a powder keg, causing their willpower to instantly crumble.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "What do we do? What can we do?" the Younger Twin clung desperately to her sister, her expression hopeless.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Li Ang bit his lip, a crazed look in his eyes: "Let''s run. We''ll take two torches and scatter. It''s better than all of us dying together."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Though Li Ang didn''t say it outright, his hidden meaning was clear - the fast runners might escape, while the slow ones would be torn apart by wolves. He wanted to use hispanions'' lives to buy time.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Hearing Li Ang''s words, the Younger Twin''s face fell. Her foot was injured; she couldn''t run at all.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Watching the livestream, Meng Li was thrilled by this development.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Yes, this was perfect - let them reveal the selfishness in human nature.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    It would be even better if they turned on each other, throwing the injured twin to the wolves while the rest escaped.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    However, Meng Li''s expectations were not met.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "In your dreams!" Sister Twin berated Li Ang. "You think you''re Usain Bolt or something? You think all the wolves will focus on just one person? There are over a dozen of them, and they''re incredibly fast. They could easily take any of us down with one pounce.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    If we split up, we have no chance of escape.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Instead of waiting to die, we might as well make a final stand!"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Sister Twin''s expression was resolute as she turned to Song Ze. "Where''s your bow? Let''s shoot the wolves!"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Song Ze was inspired by Sister Twin''s courage, but he quickly became realistic again. "My archery skills aren''t great. I can''t kill a wolf - I''d only enrage it."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Disappointment shed in Sister Twin''s eyes. She shifted her gaze to Chen Tian, looking at him hopefully. As a professional athlete, he was the strongest among them.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    But once again, Sister Twin was let down.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Chen Tian shook his head: "I don''t know how to use a bow. To kill the alpha wolf with one shot takes not just uracy, but strength too. I... I''m sorry..."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    At this moment, everyone finally gave in to despair.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Yang Tongtong covered her mouth, sobbing: "I don''t want to be bitten to death by wolves. I don''t want to be eaten."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The others were silent. They didn''t want that fate either.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Just then, Sister Twin pulled out a dagger, her eyes fierce: "Let''s kill ourselves. Rather than being torn apart by wolves and dying in agony, we should end it quickly!<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    We haven''t seen Sister Gu for so many days. She''s probably already waiting for us on the Road to Underworld."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "I don''t want to die, I don''t want to die!" Li Ang shook his head frantically. He knelt before the hovering drone, repeatedly kowtowing. "Please, save me! I can''t die, I really can''t! My son is only 5 years old. What will happen to him if I die?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

    Sister Twin gripped the dagger tightly, ready to plunge it into her heart the moment the fire went out.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Just then, a tiger''s roar suddenly rang out from the distance, echoing through the night.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Hearing the roar, the wolf pack began to stir restlessly, backing away.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
