Although the wolf pack was close to where the soldiers were hiding, for some reason, they did not discover the existence of the soldiers. Seeing that the wolves were about to pass by, everyone secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, a roar came from the forest in the distance.
The wolf pack was like a group of chicks that had been frightened by the eagle. They instantly scattered and started fleeing in all directions.
As a result, the wolf pack and the elite team instantly confronted each other head-on. Seeing that there was no way to dodge, the soldiers instantly jumped out of the grass and engaged in a deadly melee with the wolf pack.
The wolf pack was one of the most organized animal groups in the world. Every time they attacked, they would have a clear goal. Just like every worker in modern companies had their own responsibility, each wolf had its own role in battle. Wolves knew how to maximize the team's power through cooperation. However, the wolf pack they met today seemed to attack without any plan or strategy. They basically did not have effective cooperation and each fought its own battle.
Gao Feng had great physical strength. Facing a heavily injured wolf that pounced towards him, he directly gave it a good beating with his hands and feet. In less than half a minute, the wolf was beaten to death.
Although Wang Shi and the others were slower than Gao Feng, they all managed to deal with the wolves in front of them without much effort.
Although wolves were ferocious, they were still no match for humans. Not long after, six out of the eight wolves had been killed.
Apart from Lu Yao, Li Fei was the last one to join the army. Although he had been following Xu Long as a member of the Lion Assault Team for a long time, this was his first time killing. Especially when facing the skinny old wolf, he showed sympathy and really couldn't kill it.
Although Li Kang usually didn't talk much to Li Fei, he still felt a trace of kinship with his half-brother. Seeing Li Fei like this, he was also worried that something bad might happen. After all, wolves were animals. They might hurt the people who saved them. After killing the wolf in front of him, he quickly came to Li Fei and helped him get rid of the wolf.
At this time, Lu Yao was facing a wolf whose entire body was white. He was going to go forward and kill it, but when he raised the silver needle in his right hand, he found that the wolf seemed to be in a delicate condition.
Its belly was slightly bulging, and its steps were staggering. Through his previous observation, Lu Yao also found that this white wolf was walking in the middle of the team. At that time, Lu Yao thought that it was the leader of this group of wolves. But now, it seemed that this was not the case. The real reason was that the white wolf was pregnant, so it was specially taken care of by the other wolves.
Lu Yao was kind-hearted, so when he saw this, he couldn't decide to kill it.
Gao Feng was the first to end his fight with the wolf. Then he noticed that Lu Yao was standing there motionless, like a sculpture in camouflage, but he did not look at the white wolf in front of Lu Yao carefully.
"Brother, what's wrong? You can't do it?" Gao Feng quickly moved towards Lu Yao and asked, "If you really can't do it, leave it to me. I may be better than you at dealing with this kind of thing."
"No, Brother Gao, don't hurt it!" Lu Yao saw Gao Feng walking straight towards the white wolf and quickly pulled his arm and said.
"Why? The other wolves were killed. Don't tell me you intend to keep this one alive? Wolves are the most vengeful animals. You can't keep it alive!" Gao Feng asked doubtfully. Gao Feng thought that Lu Yao was scared, but he did not expect that Lu Yao actually was unwilling to kill the wolf.
Lu Yao glanced at the white wolf and pointed at its belly. "I think this wolf should be pregnant. I can't bear to kill it. Brother Gao, let it go. You are right. Wolves are the most vengeful animals, but they are also very grateful animals. I've heard a lot of stories about wolves requiting favors from human beings."
The others had already killed the wolves in front of them and rushed towards Lu Yao. They tacitly formed a semi-encirclement. For a moment, the white wolf had nowhere to escape. It could only wait for others to decide on its fate.
Xu Long had already noticed the situation here. He quickly rushed down from the slope. He had heard Lu Yao's words from far away. When he arrived, he glanced at the white wolf and nodded in agreement. "Xiao Lu is right. Wolves really know how to be grateful. I think we should let it go!"
"Yes, the elders of my hometown have always warned us that god Tenggeri doesn't allow us to kill pregnant wolves. I am a Party member and an atheist, and I do not believe in these things. However, I feel that we should not kill an expecting wolf. Besides, it is seriously injured!" Chen Hai said.
"Yes, let it go. We have other things to do!" Xu Long made the final decision.
After hearing Xu Long's words, everyone walked in the opposite direction of the white wolf. However, in case the white wolf suddenly attacked, everyone still held their knives firmly.
This white wolf seemed to understand the intentions of the soldiers. It appeared very docile when it was encircled by the soldiers. It even knelt on the grass and released a friendly signal to everyone.
"Go, go quickly. I hope we won't see each other again. I hope you don't have any hatred in your heart!" After waiting for everyone to leave, Lu Yao waved at the white wolf and said softly.
It seemed that the wolf understood Lu Yao's words. After Lu Yao finished speaking, it slowly stood up and ran forward quickly. After running for more than ten meters, it turned around to look at the team members. It raised its neck and let out a wail under the bright moon. Then, it disappeared into the dark forest.
Nobody had expected such a thing to happen. For a moment, they were deeply shocked.
"Staff Officer Lu, do you think the white wolf will really come back to repay your kindness?" Li Fei asked thoughtfully.
"I don't know. It's up to fate!" Lu Yao let out a long breath and said emotionally.
Xu Long looked at the fellow guys and was very pleased. Although these team members looked like they were experienced, they were only twenty-three years old on average. Normally, at this age, they had not graduated from university yet. However, they were so generous and thoughtful, which made Xu Long, the leader of the team, very happy.
The members of the Special Assault Team could get into all kinds of unexpected situations at any time. Sometimes, they even had to face the risk of failing to rescue the hostages. If they did not have an optimistic and passionate mentality, it was very likely that even the psychological counselors would not be able to guide them out of the trauma of failure.
"Alright, alright. It's two o'clock in the morning. Everyone, continue to rest. We will set off to go inside the mountains at five o'clock. Chen Hai, Xu Yi, and Gao Feng, you three are on duty. The rest of the team should rest quickly!" Xu Long ordered.
.

"Cuckoo, cuckoo!"
The two sounds of cuckoo birds woke everyone up. They knew that this was the signal for them to get up. As soon as they heard the signal, everyone quickly tidied up their things and headed deep into the forest.
"Captain Xu, according to the information gathered from the small detectors we released yesterday, there are no signs of the Falcon Special Assault Team anywhere within a radius of five kilometers around us." As an electronic specialist in the team, Xu Yi analyzed the information that was sent back by dawn early in the morning. At this time, he reported it to Xu Long, hoping to provide effective data for the next move.
After hearing Xu Yi's words, Xu Long pondered for a moment and said cautiously, "The Falcon Special Assault Team is very experienced in this field. They have all the technology we have, and they also have the technology we don't have. Although the small detectors haven't gathered any trace of their activities, we still can't let our guard down. We have to be alert at all times. In short, we can't be too careful. After all, this drill concerns whether our team will continue to exist or not. We can't be careless."
Gao Feng turned around and looked at everyone. After seeing the affirmative look in everyone's eyes, he said firmly, "Don't worry, Captain Xu. We've thought it through. We weren't able to join the Falcon Assault Team in the past. But it would be memorable for us to defeat it in our own territory now. We will definitely do our best."
Although Xu Long was very happy to hear that, he did not say anything. He said to Gao Feng, "Don't be too confident. Even if you said you would defeat them, you have to prove your ability with action. Let me and the leaders of the military region see your actions. Let's go!"
When everyone heard Xu Long's words, their morale was lifted. They began to move in the direction they had determined earlier.
"Captain Xu, it took me a long time to realize that you have really known their characteristics and psychology perfectly. You are really a good Captain!" Lu Yao walked at the back of the team side by side with Xu Long.
"Aren't you the same? I found out that although you are young, you are extremely smart. I can't hide anything from your eyes. I think you were really born to be a commander." Xu Long patted Lu Yao on the shoulder and said seriously. "I heard Officer Wang talk about you. I heard that you will leave the army after this training. Have you considered what to do in the future? Do you want to stay in the army?"
"Thank you for your concern, Captain Xu. I still have to finish my studies. Let's talk about it after I graduate from the university!" In fact, Lu Yao had also thought about what Xu Long had said. He had befriended Wang Ping, Buick, and the others, and after going through a few days of training, Lu Yao had really fallen in love with life in the army. However, when he thought of some other things, he could only temporarily put this matter aside.
"That's good. People with knowledge will always get better positions in the army. They will be respected wherever they go, unlike me. Other than participating in military training, I don't have any skills. Maybe when the army decides to downsize in the future, I will have to leave the army and go home." Xu Long said indifferently. He sped up and chased after the group in front of him.
Lu Yao looked at Xu Long's back and did not say anything. He just quickly followed him.
