Edge of the Apocalypse

With a low roar, a few drops of dew splashed in the air had just bounced off a serrated fern leaf when they were smashed into pieces by a berserk wolf mixed with gray and black fluff. The adult male wolf opened its mouth wide, revealing a mouthful of black and yellow sharp canine teeth, as well as two long sword teeth, as it pounced towards Alan. Unfortunately, before he could bite Alan, a long tactical knife stabbed into the wolf's kiss from below, piercing through his mind.

The impact still pushed Alan back a few steps, and he didn't even have time to pull out his saber. Wild Slaughter swept his right hand horizontally and chopped off the head of the other Berserk Wolf.

"Get down!"

Lucy's cry came from behind, and Alan lowered his head without thinking. Several gunshots rang out in succession, echoing through the forest. A few wolves who were about to charge up the hill shot Lucy's head off, and Alan pulled out his saber, turned around with Berserker, and ran out of the jungle with Lucy.

In front of him was a grassland. The forest belt on the left was gradually thinning. Two to three hundred meters later, there were only a few sporadic trees decorated with grayish-white rocks. In the end, the end of the forest belt borders on the edge of the mountain range, and the mountain range moves continuously, forming a complex fork in the mountain. In comparison, fleeing to the grasslands was akin to committing suicide. Alan immediately pointed in the direction of the mountain, "Quick, run that way!"

At this moment, the dawn had just begun, but the two of them had already been chased by the Berserk Wolf all night. These dangerous species seemed to have been stimulated by something and became incomparably irritable. Alan and Lucy ran south into the forest and then turned west. The berserk wolf chased after them reluctantly, occasionally letting the two of them shake off, but after a short rest, it was targeted by other packs of wolves.

Several packs of wolves in this area, over a thousand of them, were all driven away, following some sort of planned route to drive Alan and Lucy in the designated direction. Fortunately, the committee member did not intend to kill them just like that. Whenever the wolf chased after them too quickly, the signal wavelength would be adjusted, causing the wolf pack to slow down. When Allen and the others drew a distance, they urged the pack of wolves to chase after him.

Just like that, the man and the wolf chased after each other all night. By now, both sides were exhausted. Alan ran into the mountains with Lucy, and now his throat was dry, and his heart was beating fast, as if it was going to tear open his chest in the next second. All of this was a sign of exhaustion. He climbed a low hillside and searched around, hoping to find a place to avoid the wolves.

In less than two hours, he and Lucy would lose their strength. At that time, the berserk wolves would easily tear their bodies apart.

"They're coming!" Cried Lucy. Behind them, a large number of wolves had already rushed out of the forest. The berserk wolves at the front were less than two hundred meters away from them. They were only affected by the complicated mountain paths, making it impossible for these wild beasts to run straight like the plains.

But it won't take long for them.

"Over there!" Alan finally found a suitable hiding place. It was a rift that was only wide enough for one person to pass through. It was very difficult for berserk wolves to enter in packs. Using this rift in the mountain, they could temporarily avoid it for a while.

The two of them immediately ran down the slope and jumped off the ground. A berserk wolf followed them from behind. Alan swung the Berserker and swept it over, slapping it on the head and sending it flying, and Lucy put on her gun and shot it. The two of them didn't have time to pay attention to the result and immediately ran towards the rift in the mountain. This crack looked quite deep, and strands of sunlight shone through the cracks in the upper mountain. One could see that there was a narrow space inside. Both of them were overjoyed and quickly shrank into the crack.

Lucy was so small that she went in first. Alan broke off, and after seeing that Lucy had gone in, he followed behind and squeezed in. After a short while, they arrived at the cave inside. This place was extremely dry and impatient, and the ground was filled with rough rock formations. Lucy was so tired that she fell to the ground as soon as she came in, panting heavily. Alan leaned against the stone wall to catch his breath, and the roar of the berserk wolf came from outside. He hurriedly gestured to Lucy to keep quiet.

The two of them held their breaths and a large pack of berserk wolves immediately passed through the cave. They didn't seem to notice anything unusual inside, and were still searching for Allen and the others. Alan was just glad that he had escaped a calamity when a brown-furred male wolf suddenly stopped. He sniffed at the entrance of the mountain crevice with his big nose and then shouted wildly into the cave.

"I've been discovered!" Alan said helplessly.

Lucy looked around and saw that there was no way out, but a crack appeared in the top of the hill. However, the cracks were too narrow, and the sun could only cast a ray of light. Not to mention Ellen, even Lucy herself would find it difficult to climb out of that narrow space. At this time, the male wolf had already drilled inside. Although the cracks in the mountain were not wide, it was more than enough for a berserk wolf to enter.

Alan knew he couldn't let the wolves into the cave, or he and Lucy would really be food for the wolves. He raised his long tactical saber and immediately dashed forward like black lightning, fiercely piercing into the eyes of the berserk wolf. The berserk wolf was in pain, causing it to become even more vicious. Zhang Zhao slapped Allen. Ellen dodged his head and used the light armor in front of him to get a claw from it. The armor on his chest was sparked by the wolf's claws, and Alan took advantage of this moment to twist his saber and pry off half of its head!

Wolf blood sprayed out. Alan could not care less about wiping off the wolf blood. Another berserk wolf had already drilled in. At the end of the knife, the sound of gunfire rang out behind him, and the Berserk Wolf's head burst open, but it was already taken away by Lucy. Alan nodded, his left hand holding the saber and his right hand holding the slaughter, guarding the entrance to block the attack of the pack of wolves. Lucy, on the other hand, fired a sneak shot from behind. Her spear-arts were accurate and ruthless, and she could always accurately hit the wolf's eyes or ears, which were more fragile, and kill it.

Allen raised his sabers and defended this fragile position without retreating a single step. His thin body was like a canoe in the sea of rage, but no matter how hard the wind and waves were, the canoe could always avoid danger. In the blink of an eye, Alan had already turned into a bloodman. There was the blood of a berserk wolf, and there was also his own. At this time, even how to injure and which part of the body to injure was a subject of study. It was not that he was rewarded with this light armor defensive suit because he was ranked high. Now, even if he was skilled in calculation, he would have already fallen under the claws of a wolf.

There were more and more wolf corpses in the cracks of the mountain, making it very difficult for the pack of wolves at the back to charge in. However, these dangerous species were not only ferocious, they were also very smart. When the mountain crevices were blocked by the corpses, a berserk wolf began to drag the corpses of its kind out and charge towards the fragile defensive line. Every minute was a long time for Alan. Gradually, his eyes turned red. The savagery in his body was being stimulated by the endless attacks of the berserk wolf, and Alan's eyes were getting redder and redder.

In the end, he didn't even deliberately dodge the attack. The Berserk Wolf gave him a claw and Alan returned the knife.

Attack to attack, kill to stop kill!

With a loud sound, the military tactical saber jammed into the head of a grey-haired berserk wolf. Alan kicked the wolf corpse away and threw the broken knife into the eyes of a black wolf behind him. He shouted, and Kuang Tu raised his head, activating the saber patterns one by one. Ejecting an energy blade from the tip of the blade, it forcefully slashed into the head of the black wolf. The sharp energy blade split its head into two.

At this moment, Allen's hand softened, and the sharp edge of the blade disappeared. The lines on the broadsaber dimmed again, and Alan's body energy was exhausted. He was no longer able to hold on to Berserk Tu. With a bang, Kuang Tu fell to the ground, and Alan also sat on the ground. Looking at Lucy, she was running out of ammunition and pulling out a dagger to tear it apart. The two of them smiled bitterly helplessly and prepared for the pack of wolves to charge in.

At the same time, on the other side of the cliff outside the cave, Metalon reached out and held a thick-backed sword behind him. The pack of wolves didn't stop attacking, and he could tell that Allen and the others were at the end of the bow. Although if he took action, there would definitely be some "international disputes", how could he care so much about it now? However, seeing that Alan was able to last for nearly an hour, he was also deeply shocked by this brat's tenacity and ruthlessness.

Just as Metalon was about to attack, the pack of wolves seemed to have received new orders. One by one, the wolves unwillingly retreated, leaving behind ground wolf corpses outside the mountain crevices. After a while, they had already left completely.

He barely looked out from the wolf corpse and saw the pack of wolves retreating. Only then did Alan breathe a sigh of relief. His eyes darkened and he almost fainted. But in this dangerous place, how could he allow himself to do this? He bit the tip of his tongue to keep himself awake through the intense pain.

"Quickly sit down." Lucy helped him sit against the wall of the cave and carefully took off his defensive armor.

Lucy sucked in a breath of cold air when her personal uniform was taken off. Alan's body was riddled with wounds, and his small body was crisscrossed with countless wounds. Many of them were torn out by the Ferocious Wolf's claws, while a few were bitten, tearing off small pieces of skin and blood. Lucy took a deep breath and swiftly took out the emergency medicine from Alan's bag and began to clean his wounds.

Seeing Lucy's orderly movements, Alan was surprised. If it was an ordinary girl, she would have cried long ago when she saw his injuries. Lucy's hands were steady, washing, stopping bleeding and sewing up the serious wounds as quickly as possible. With her speed, Alan would suffer less. Fortunately, Alan had taken the emergency medicine and even a simple set of field surgery tools. Otherwise, Lucy would not have been able to save him.

It was already more than an hour after dealing with Allen's wound, and when Lucy finished sewing the last stitch, her hands finally trembled and her stamina was completely exhausted. She put on her coat and sat down to the side and said, "I can't see how you can be so crazy when you're fighting for your life."

"If you're not crazy, you won't be able to survive." Alan said with his eyes closed.

He knew that Lucy would not understand. Alan was young, but what he experienced far exceeded the imagination of his peers. In the past five years, there had been many times when he had to go all out in order to survive. Living with the snow wolf wasn't easy. Alan was raised like a cub by Bai Fang. Among the pack of wolves, the cubs also needed to hunt, and there were times when they could face strong enemies alone.

If they couldn't survive, they would be abandoned by the wolves. This was originally a world of natural selection.
