Hidden dangers lurked everywhere in the forest. Therefore, the people following Chen Meng’er did not dare lower their guard at all.
However, it was also fortunate that they had the various medicinal powders that Chen Meng’er gave them, which allowed them to avoid the invasion of the various insects and ants in the forest. However, the occasional tiger and wolf howls still gave them goosebumps. There were a few timid members in the Windwalk Group squad who couldn’t help but shrink their bodies and lean closer to their companions.
Chen Meng’er saw everyone’s reactions. She felt that her Windwalk Group squad really lacked actual combat experience. Their skills weren’t bad, but their courage was still a little lacking.
As they walked deeper, the howls of tigers and wolves rose and fell, and their voices grew louder. They didn’t know if it was the echoes of the forest, but the howls of tigers and wolves seemed to be right beside them.
The sun gradually set in the west. The forest was already blocked by trees, so they couldn’t see much sunlight. Now, there was no trace of sunlight. The light in the forest also dimmed.
Chen Meng’er raised her wrist and looked at her watch. Then, she looked at the remaining distance shown on the GPS in her mutated brain. She calculated in her heart that with their speed, they would definitely not be able to reach Liu Yi and Zhang Da’s lair before nightfall.
As for Chen Meng’er, she looked at the people from the Windwalk Group. Some of them were so tired that they could not breathe, and some of them were exhausted. She calculated a little and then stopped, she said to the people behind her, “Everyone, stay where you are and rest for a while. Eat something and replenish your energy. We will set off in a while. We must leave this forest as soon as possible.”
Chen Meng’er did not say much. However, with everyone’s common sense, they knew that the forest in the night was much more dangerous than it was in the day.
Those ferocious beasts appeared at night. In addition to the waves of tiger and wolf howls that they heard, they did not need to think to know how dangerous this forest was.
Before they came, Chen Meng’er had asked Zhou Yunjie to prepare dry rations for everyone. The dry rations used by the Green Gang were personally developed by Chen Meng’er. Not only were they nutritious, but they also tasted very good. Therefore, after everyone listened to Chen Meng’er’s words, they took out the dry rations and started eating with the water bottles they had brought with them.
After such a long period of exercise, they were really famished. They all started to devour their food.
As for Chen Meng’er, while everyone was resting and eating to replenish their energy, she was scouting the surrounding terrain. For some reason, from the moment she stepped into this forest, Chen Meng’er felt unusually excited, as if something was calling out to her.
This feeling was very strange. Previously, when they were on their way, Chen Meng’er had always chosen to ignore this feeling, but now that she had stopped, this feeling became even more intense.
“Ah!” A sharp scream interrupted Chen Meng’er’s thoughts. She collected her thoughts and raised her feet to run in the direction of the scream.
This scream was so shocking that everyone almost threw the dry rations in their hands to the ground. “What’s wrong?” Su Jin, who was the closest to the girl from the Windwalk Group, was the first to rush to the side of the girl who had screamed and asked in a deep voice.
“There’s a wolf.” The girl pointed in a direction and said with a trembling voice. She was obviously scared out of her wits. She couldn’t even finish her sentence.
Everyone looked in the direction that the girl was pointing at and couldn’t help but gasp. A pair of wolf eyes that glowed with blue light was staring at them. When everyone’s eyes were on it, it raised its head and let out a series of cries.
