Falkmar and Janos caught a metallic scent in the air, recognizing it as the smell of blood. The pungent odor caused them to frown involuntarily.
The smell didn't matter too much because the biggest problem now was how to kill or escape from this big weird wolf. Right now, the wolf was baring its teeth and staring at them.
The big wolf didn't give them much time. It started walking toward them slowly. As they saw the big wolf coming, their legs trembled, their hearts pounded, and their brains worked quickly trying to plan something.
"Falkmar, I'll try to lure that wolf, then you go take the gun from those soldiers!" Janos rose and said in a low voice.
"Are you crazy?! How do you lure that wolf? It just needs to lunge toward you, then you're done! You can't even react to it!" Falkmar said. He didn't want Mark to risk his life.
"Come on! We have no time!" Janos said anxiously. They didn't have much time left; the wolf was already near.
"Dang it!" Falkmar gritted his teeth. He didn't have time to think, so he could only accept Mark's plan.
"I will run to the left side because there's a building to cover me. You go to the back of the store; there's a hole in the wall. After that, you go take the gun." Janos said, keeping his tone steady to ensure Falkmar could hear it.
"If I die or I'm gonna die, then run. Run to the shelter. Please take care of my parents if it happens." Janos added and looked firmly at Falkmar.
"Jonas... you won't die..." Falkmar's eyes filled with tears.
"I hope so..." Jonas smiled weakly and glanced at the wolf.
"Quick! Go now!" Janos pushed Falkmar and ran quickly to the left side.
When Falkmar got pushed by Mark and saw him run to the left-side building, it felt like the starting gun had fired. Falkmar knew the plan had started. His heart pounded in his chest, and every fiber of his being screamed at him to run fast and reduce Mark's risk as much as possible.
Now, Janos was on the second floor of the left-side building. He moved quickly and shouted to attract the wolf's attention. Janos successfully attracted the wolf's attention, and it quickly ran to the left-side building to try to catch him.
However, because of its size, the wolf couldn't enter the building but could easily reach the second floor. It used its claws and swung at Janos. Janos' eyes widened as he saw the big claw coming. He quickly ran toward the back of a pillar, but before he could make it, the claw reached him.
With one swing, the claw tore the clothes off Janos' back, leaving a scratch, but fortunately, the wound wasn't deep, though it was bleeding. Janos suddenly felt a chill on his back, and after a few seconds, that chill turned into severe pain.
"Aaahhh!!" Janos cried out in pain, his heart racing inside his chest and his whole body trembling.
Falkmar felt chills run down his spine as he heard Janos' desperate scream. Right now, he was running toward the soldier who had been cut in half by the wolf.
Upon reaching the soldier, Falkmar quickly unequipped the gun sling and strapped it on himself. It was an HK416, an assault rifle. Falkmar not only got a gun but also a grenade.
At that moment, Falkmar noticed the broken gray Humvee leaking oil. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled. He quickly glanced around the environment, then looked at the big wolf with a gleam in his eyes, it seemed he had come up with a plan.
Meanwhile, things weren't going well for Janos. The big wolf was now using its tentacle-like tail to attack. Janos had new wounds from the tail, and it was grabbing things to throw at him.
"Ahh!" Janos screamed again as he was hit by a piece of debris thrown by the tail. His head and body were bleeding, and he felt the bone in his right leg break.
He collapsed to the floor, feeling his fate creeping closer. With his eyes closed, he shouted desperately.
"Falkmar! I'm gonna die today! Ru-"
.....
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The loud gunfire and the wolf's painful whimper reached Mark's ears. The sudden sound made Mark open his eyes. His vision blurred with tears as he saw a man in gray clothes kneeling on one knee at a distance, shooting at the big wolf.
"Falk!" Janos shouted in his mind.
Falkmar was at a building near the gray Humvee, which had been thrown by the big wolf. He was shooting at the beast.
"Come here! You little shit!" Falkmar shouted at the wolf and shot again.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The wolf was hit once more and let out a pained howl. Its blood-stained fur was turning a deeper red. Its eyes gleamed with murderous intent and hatred. But it didn't just stand there and let Falkmar keep shooting.
It quickly used its heavily injured body to move. The blood-red wolf ran at high speed toward Falkmar. When Falkmar saw it coming, he didn't panic but remained calm, continuing to shoot.
The HK416 had two firing modes: semi-automatic and automatic. Falkmar was using automatic mode, but since he didn't know how to shoot properly, he purposely only fired three bullets at a time.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Unfortunately, the wolf wasn't stupid. Instead of running in a straight line, it ran in a curved pattern, making it impossible for Falkmar, who wasn't skilled in shooting, to land a hit.
"Dang it!" Falkmar cursed. He looked at the blood-red wolf getting closer and closer, gritted his teeth, and pulled the trigger to empty the magazine.
When the magazine was empty, Falkmar was undeterred by his complete failure to hit the wolf, but his eye flashed with a cunning gleam.
Falkmar took out a DM51 grenade from his pocket. He quietly watched the big blood-red wolf approaching, then took the opportunity to pull the safety of the grenade and threw it at the damaged Humvee.
The grenade fell into the damaged fuel tank coincidentally. Seeing this, Falkmar grinned evilly, and with the countdown in mind, he knew the delay of the DM51 was about 5 seconds.
"Five!"
"Four!"
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
Falkmar's grin became even wider. At this moment, he didn't care about anything. He ignored the big wolf that had jumped into the air and was about to pounce on him or Jonas's desperate scream in the distance.
Right now, Falkmar prayed in his heart that his idea would come true. Time seemed to slow down, and Falkmar's heart was beating wildly.
There are two possibilities after one second, one is that Falkmar's plan is not realized and he dies, and the second is that Falkmar's plan is realized and the big blood-red wolf is killed.
Falkmar gazed at the damaged fuel tank and noticed an orange light emanating from it, prompting a victorious grin.
"I won!"
"Boom!"
The fire in the fuel tank burst out, and a shock wave that was neither strong nor weak rushed around with dust, it made Falkmar and Jonas close their eyes. The Humvee explodes, sending pieces flying. Falkmar's plan worked!
The wolf in the sky was unable to kill Falkmar because the shock wave flew to the wall next to it. After its two heads hit the wall, its mangled body fell heavily to the ground.
After a few seconds, the dust fell onto the ground. Once they opened their eyes they saw a fire burning on the gray Humvee and a big blood-red wolf laying aside.
Its blood erupts out of its body. Many fragments of humvee on its body, and the wounds look shocking. One of its heads is already cut off, and another head whimper in a low voice. Eight legs before but right now have only three legs. The tail is still there but the belly is broken and internal organs exposed.
"I-I-I... I Did it! Hahahaha! Jonas! I did it!" Falkmar cried in ecstasy. His heart is beating wildly in his chest and his body is shaking. His eyes were wide open as if he couldn't believe he had done it.
"Hahaha! Falk! You're the best! Hahaha! You killed that little shit!" Jonas does the same as Falkmar. He rose slowly to go out and ignored the pain in his back.
"-Ah!"
A sudden sound broke their happiness. That was a piercing shriek, their eye widened and covered their ears.
"Dang it! The high-pitched noise is from this goddamn wolf!" Falk shouted.
"How can the wolf still shout?!" Jonas asked.
It's just last for a few seconds and gone. When they go down and get out of the building they walk toward the wolf. The wolf closed its eyes and didn't move; it seemed as if it had completely died.
The smell of gasoline and the smell of blood are in the air. The sun started to fall and the light began to turn orange.
Falkmar and Jonas suddenly sat down on the ground, as if they had lost all their strength. They exchange glances and grin widely.
This is their victory.
