Chapter 489: Red-Eyed Crocodiles
Huo Yishen hurriedly retreated with Coke.
As soon as they ran, the red dots in the distance moved even faster, quickly chasing after them.
The white wolf inside the house sensed something unusual, baring its teeth and preparing to charge outside.
Jiang Ning and Doudou instinctively reached for their guns.
Just as the two of them and the wolf reached the door, they collided with Huo Yishen, who was running back with Coke.
Jiang Ning asked, “What’s wrong?”
Huo Yishen quickly locked the door and secured all three bolts. “There’s a group of crocodiles.”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud crashing sound that came from outside the door.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The intense and frequent banging made the entire container shake.
That overwhelming feeling was similar to the flying fish that collided with their yacht on the sea.
Jiang Ning was confused. The crocodiles hadn’t disturbed them after coming ashore to lay eggs last night, so why were they now attacking in groups?
The crashing didn’t stop and became even more frequent.
From the front, from the side…
Through the container and ice layers, Jiang Ning could almost imagine the dense scene outside.
She held her gun and moved toward the observation hole, wanting to check the situation outside.
In the dark observation point, a pair of red eyes suddenly appeared.
Cold and bloodthirsty.
Wow, it’s actually a red crocodile’s eye.
If the observation hole weren’t only 20 cm wide, they would keep coming in.
Even so, the crocodile with its head stuck kept trying to push through, trying to devour the people inside.
Could it be because she threw their eggs into the sea?
A whole day had already passed, and even if there were traces and smells left, they would have been blown away by the wind and snow.
Jiang Ning was puzzled, but the red eyes were creepy, so she quickly closed the observation hole.
She put on night vision goggles and, through the higher observation point, she saw that outside, the ground was covered with crocodiles—at least a few hundred of them.
If they broke through the container, three or five people wouldn’t be enough to fill their teeth.
On the other side of the door, the dog and the white wolf growled viciously and aggressively, unwilling to back down.
“Woof, woof, woof!”
“Ah… Woo…”
The outside crashing became even more intense.
Jiang Ning was speechless. These two were only making things worse.
The scent of humans probably makes the crocodiles even more aggressive, and for now, she doesn’t feel confident she can take them on.
If they couldn’t fight them, they’d just hide.
Jiang Ning pulled both the people and the entire container into the space.
They would sleep in the space tonight and see who could last longer until dawn.
There was no danger in the space, and both people and dogs were very relaxed.
Going upstairs and entering the room, Jiang Ning washed up, turned off the lights, and discussed with Huo Yishen how to deal with the crocodiles.
Crocodiles are ferocious, crawl very fast, and have extremely hard skulls. It’s difficult to aim when they move through the snow, and dealing with them is much more challenging than dealing with the members of the United Base.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Ning couldn’t come up with a perfect plan and decided they would just wait until they got enough sleep.
The next morning, after a hearty meal, it was already past eight.
The three of them were fully equipped, and even Coke and Bai Xue were wearing bulletproof vests.
Bai Xue’s clothes were modified by Doudou overnight.
When the container was taken out of the space, the bullets were already loaded, and even the flame gun had been taken out.
Come on, Crocodile Baby.
The victory or defeat depended on this round.
However, it was quiet outside.
Jiang Ning opened the observation hole and saw no sign of the crocodiles.
Could they have returned to the sea after dawn?
After confirming there was nothing, Jiang Ning opened the door…
Huh? There was shit everywhere.
It looked similar to pig dung.
These bastards had left their waste as a way to vent their frustration because they hadn’t caught any humans. Their sense of revenge was pretty strong.
The three of them endured the disgust and cleaned up the crocodile dung around the house.
Huo Yishen, always frugal and resourceful, asked, “Should we dry it to use as fuel?”
Jiang Ning look disgusted, “No.”
There was already enough fuel stored in her space, no need to burn crocodile poop.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Ning still felt something was wrong. Given the level of revenge displayed by the crocodile group, it could not simply be a chance encounter within the food chain.
It is much easier for them to hunt fish in the sea than to find food on the shore. There’s no real need for such a pointless move.
She really couldn’t figure it out, so she checked around the house again.
To her surprise, dozens of crocodile eggs were buried in the snow, and they were buried deeply.
Jiang Ning immediately realized that it must have been Bai Xue and Coke who did this.
Hiding someone else’s eggs, it would be strange if the red-eyed crocodile didn’t fight back.
Thinking back to the danger they had faced last night; Jiang Ning was extremely angry. She called Bai Xue over and scolded, “Don’t think just because you’re a new member of the family that I won’t discipline you.
Once you enter this household, I won’t let you go hungry.
If you hide things like this again, just wait and see how I deal with you!”
But no matter how many times she said it, Bai Xue still ignored her.
Bai Xue had to hide everything, even bones, turning the area around the house into a garbage dump.
After scolding Bai Xue, the dog came to protect her and raised his paw to push Jiang Ning’s hand. “Woo… Woo…”
Don’t scold, don’t hit.
Jiang Ning grabbed the dog’s ear. “And you, you have no position to speak.”
After scolding them, she picked up the crocodile eggs that were hidden by the two. This time, she didn’t throw them into the ice hole but placed them not far away on the shore.
Crocodiles weren’t afraid of heat, so simple flames probably wouldn’t scare them.
In the evening, Jiang Ning took out steel nail plates and placed them around the house to try to prevent the red-eyed crocodiles from attacking.
The three of them had dinner early. After dark, no one rested, and the weapons were placed next to them.
Now, they were going to see if the red-eyed crocodiles would come!
At around 8 or 9 p.m., a sudden scream came from outside.
It sounded like a human scream.
Followed by gunshots.
The two sounds blended together in an instant.
Huo Yishen climbed up to the observation post at the top and used a binoculars to observe the situation outside. “It’s the people from the United Base. They encountered the red-eyed crocodiles, and the two sides are fighting.”
It was obvious that the people from the United Base were attempting an attack at night, but they didn’t expect to encounter an obstacle halfway.
The two sides immediately started fighting.
Jiang Ning really didn’t know what to say; the red-eyed crocodiles were great.
From the observation point, they couldn’t see clearly, so they quietly moved to the snow hill nearby and used night vision goggles to observe.
It was a fierce fight, with submachine guns, flame guns, and grenades.
The firepower of the United Base was very strong but the red-eyed crocodiles were continuously climbing out of the sea.
They were very fast and didn’t know what fear was. They rushed toward humans in the hail of bullets…
It was a bloody battle—either you die or I live.
Faced with the endless red-eyed crocodiles, the members of the United Base were scared and retreated while fighting, but the red-eyed crocodiles kept chasing them.
It can only be said that when two meet in a narrow path, the brave will win.
They probably never imagined that, though they came for a sneak attack, they would end up as the red-eyed crocodile’s meal.
The gunshots gradually became fainter and more distant, until they finally disappeared.
It was not clear who had won or lost.
The two quickly returned to the house, staying vigilant for over an hour, but the red-eyed crocodiles never came.
It was time to wash up and rest.
