In the woods to the south.
"Brother Da, what should we do?" Wang Li asked Wang Fang, holding a shotgun in his hand.
The two brothers had been wandering in the mountain forest for several days and finally found a sheltered cave to hide in, only occasionally managing to hunt some prey to fill their stomachs.
Two days ago, they accidentally saw a row of ice holes on the Paizi here, and knew that someone was fishing.
The two of them scratched their heads by the ice holes for a long time, stirring around with branches, but in the end, they couldn't even get a single fish.
The main reason was that they had neither a fishing net nor a hook, so even if they knew there were fish below, they couldn't catch them.
In fact, let alone fishing nets, they didn't even have matches. They had to use gunpowder from bullets to start a fire.
In the cold winter of the Northeast, life in the mountains was extremely difficult, especially since the brothers had fled here completely unprepared.
Seeing that they couldn't catch any fish, Wang Li suggested that they simply wait for the villagers who made the ice holes to come fishing again, kill them, and steal the fish and fishing nets.
However, Wang Fang rejected this idea because they could still catch things every day, and even without eating fish, they wouldn't starve to death.
If they killed villagers, it would definitely attract a large-scale search of the mountains by the Public Security Bureau and the militia, putting them in danger.
So the two brothers watched Zhou Cang and the others fish from a distance, planning to make some noise and pretend to be a Tiger or a Black Bear to scare them away.
Unexpectedly, they were discovered as soon as they crouched down.
Although they still didn't know how the other party discovered them, it no longer mattered.
Seeing Zhang Quanfu run wildly into the woods and disappear, Wang Fang immediately decided to escape. Hiding behind a tree, he said to Wang Li,
"Hurry and go! These two aren't ordinary villagers! Damn it, they might be here for us!" He said, chambering a bullet into the rifle in his hand.
"What? Only two people? Brother Da, don't joke with me!" Wang Li said, disbelievingly, laughing,
"We're not afraid of a hundred police officers, what can these two do?" He said, raising the shotgun in his hand,
"If he dares to come over, I'll send him to reincarnation!"
"Stop talking nonsense, be careful!" Wang Fang said, staring at the sack on the ice,
"Did you see that? That one is aiming at us!"
"Listen to me, retreat backward, keep an eye on the one behind the sack, don't show your head!"
Wang Fang lay in the snowdrift under the tree, slowly moving his body backward.
At the same time, he had to watch if the guy who ran into the woods just now was rushing over.
The person on the lake surface put immense pressure on Wang Fang. Instinctively, he felt that person was different from anyone he had encountered before.
You could figure out with your toes that anyone daring to come into the mountains with just two people to apprehend their two brothers must be a tough nut to crack!
Didn't you see that guy who ran into the woods disappear in a flash? In the mountain forest and snow, running so fast! Isn't he a scout?
Zhou Cang lay under the sled, peering through the tiny gap in the snowdrift, aiming his gun and staring intently in the direction of the woods.
He could no longer hear Zhang Quanfu's voice behind him, so he should have run far away. Zhou Cang grinned, "The show is starting!"
As long as Quan Fu didn't leave, Zhou Cang didn't dare to shoot rashly, otherwise, it might cause the other side to shoot wildly and hit Quan Fu, which would be bad.
Now it seemed the other side was also very patient.
"As long as they're not stupid, they should know to escape by now, right?" Zhou Cang thought to himself. He wasn't in a hurry to shoot, mainly because he was afraid Quan Fu would hear the gunfire and couldn't help but run back.
He wanted to enjoy the feeling of being back on the battlefield by himself. This feeling made every cell in his body cheer.
Wang Li was also slowly crawling backward, trying to use the trees to shield his body.
Suddenly, Xiao Bai stood up. It saw the movements of the two people in the woods.
Zhou Cang fiercely pressed Xiao Bai's head to the ground.
Bang!
A bullet flew past the sack, and the sound of the gun scared the Little Fox, who quickly shrank back into the snowdrift.
"Lie still! Don't get your head blown off!" Zhou Cang poked the fox's forehead.
He raised his gun and fired two bursts into the woods!
Bang bang!
The bullets hit the tree in front of Wang Li's head, sending wood chips flying into his face, which shocked him greatly!
That's quite accurate!
Actually, Zhou Cang didn't expect to hit anyone; it was just a deterrent. The moment he fired, he quickly got up and rushed towards the nearest woods to the west!
The reason he didn't run backward was that running backward made it very easy to be targeted by the opponent. That was equivalent to running in a straight line, no different from seeking death!
Running sideways, as long as the opponent's aim was average, it was unlikely they would hit him.
A distance of about fifty meters, Zhou Cang reached it in an instant!
At this moment, Wang Li had just raised his head, looking over fearfully, only to see a figure quickly darting into the trees!
"Holy crap! Run!"
Wang Fang let out a low shout, stood up, and ran, with Wang Li following closely behind.
After entering the woods, Zhou Cang was not in a hurry to rush over. Are you kidding? The opponent had two guns in hand, absolutely not to be careless!
After running a distance, Wang Fang hid behind a tree and raised his gun, aiming behind him to provide cover, while his younger brother Wang Li continued to run forward.
After Wang Li ran a distance, he would then cover Wang Fang.
The two brothers cooperated seamlessly. They had used this method to take down several pursuers. Each time, one would pretend to run while the other hid to the side and fired sneak shots.
Once they hit, the two brothers would immediately turn back together and attack fiercely!
Zhou Cang watched the two men alternating cover, grinned, and waved at Xiao Bai. The white fox lowered its head and darted to his side.
"Xiao Bai, I'll leave these two to you, okay? Don't lose track of them!"
The white fox twitched its nose, "Chirp chirp!"
"Hey, alright, I'll roast a rabbit for you when we get home!"
Zhou Cang got up and slowly followed behind the two Wangs. He had long heard Zhao Kaishan say that these two were quite professional, and seeing them today, they were indeed good. They even understood alternating cover and retreat in the forest!
It seems they aren't ordinary fugitives. Are they professional athletes who turned into ruthless bandits?
I heard these two guys have killed quite a few people!
Now, looking at the opponent's tactical movements, Zhou Cang became even more determined. He must eliminate them today!
Otherwise, who knows how many more innocent people will die.
And they're interfering with his hunting!
Simply unforgivable!
He took out a piece of jerky and bit it, slowly moistening it with saliva and swallowing it.
From time to time, he would quickly advance a few steps, hiding behind the next tree, following them from a distance like this.
The Wang brothers, on the other hand, were running for their lives on empty stomachs.
They didn't dare to relax in the slightest. The less Zhou Cang rushed up, the more Wang Fang felt something was wrong.
That feeling was like a cat playing with a mouse. The cat wasn't in a hurry to kill the mouse, but the mouse couldn't escape either!
"Huff... huff..."
Wang Li was gradually losing his strength. He also found that no matter how fast he ran, there was always a figure in the distance, always maintaining a distance, but he couldn't shake him off!
During this time, they also tried shooting, but they couldn't hit him at all, nor could they scare the opponent away.
Wang Fang was also getting tired of running, breathing heavily, and said to Wang Li,
"We can't run like this anymore, damn it! You go that way and hide. We'll flank him and kill him!"
