"Exterminate them—make it so they never dare trespass the human habitats again!" Yan Jinsu answered in an instant, her tone was calm, yet it caused Xie Jingqiang’s heart to palpitate as he gasped for air repeatedly!
"Yes! We must exterminate this detestable wolf pack, ensuring they never dare violate our homes again!"
Xie Jingbin echoed Yan Jinsu, with a resounding and hoarse voice.
This time, the six youngsters were truly frightened and injured quite a bit, with multiple cuts on their clothes. Fortunately, there were no serious wounds, just streaks of blood that made their families heartbroken.
"Alright, you rascals, how much trouble have you caused this time! Let’s put this aside for now, bring the children back to tend to their injuries, then we can discuss further."
After Xie Jingqiang finished his flustered speech, he shouted angrily, pointing at his clan brother Xie Jingbin, and then ordered people to help the obviously exhausted children.
"Clan Leader, I think what Jingchen’s wife said makes sense. These vicious wolves have suffered a huge loss tonight, and they will certainly not give up on revenge so easily. We indeed need to be vigilant and on guard."
Zhou Weihai said with a grave expression, watching the children being taken away, and after having assigned many villagers to patrol in different areas, he approached Xie Jingqiang.
"Brother-in-law, what do you think is the best course of action now?" Xie Jingqiang was taken aback by the question, looking towards the Civilian Defense Captain Zhou Weihai.
Xie Jingqiang was truly at a loss: he was okay with arranging farm work, but asking him to lay out defenses was difficult! However, Zhou Weihai had asked the question and even looked towards Jingchen’s wife, allowing Xie Jingqiang to grasp the situation at once.
To Yan Jinsu, Zhou Weihai was an outsider, but not Xie Jinghai; he was the acting Clan Leader of the Xie Clan, and he did hold some status in front of Yan Jinsu.
Therefore, it was most appropriate for Xie Jingqiang to bring up the suggestion.
"Clan Leader, the most likely reason for the wolf pack’s migration is a split within the pack, forming a new alpha wolf. And the split pack can only be killed or driven away. The wild wolves that just left seemed like leaders who lost the competition!"
Yan Jinsu saw Zhou Weihai had already organized quite a few people, holding torches and patrolling in groups, and she praised him internally for not being totally clueless and at least knowing basic precautions.
Then she continued, "The fact that the wolf pack has migrated to an area with human presence indicates that there are significant numbers of wolves in the deep woods. They wouldn’t have chosen our Qingyun Mountain as their destination if it weren’t for the fact that our land is extensive and rich with wildlife."
After speaking, Yan Jinsu looked towards Qingyun Mountain Range soaring into the high clouds.
Qingfeng Mountain could only be considered a small branch of it. Whereas, Qingyun Mountain Range stretched across several towns connected to the county town, with numerous deep mountains and wild ridges—it was vast indeed!
"If these wolves were roaming within Qingfeng Mountain, it would still be a small mountain. We could report to the authorities and have the police assist in exterminating these pests. But if the wild wolves blend into the Qingyun Mountain Range, there is simply no direction to search for them!" Zhou Weihai said after listening, feeling a headache, and quickly chiming in.
Although Xie Jingqiang was the Clan Leader, when it came to knowledge of Qingyun Team’s terrain, nobody could surpass him, the Civilian Army Captain.
"Captain Zhou, you’ve forgotten, wild wolves, they hold grudges the most." So, in the end, they will come back.
"No, wait, brother-in-law, even if these beasts hold the longest grudges, but there’s the saying—there can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can’t guard against a thief for a thousand days!" Xie Jingqiang might not be good at other things, but he understood the implications of this very well. Hearing Yan Jinsu’s words, he hurriedly interjected.
"Right, brother-in-law, more importantly, the police can’t possibly stay in Qingfeng Village indefinitely. It’s not realistic!" Xie Jingwen had been following his elder brother all this time and after listening for a while, he added.
