Hailing Troubles (2)

The hailstorm raged on showing no signs of stopping.

"Sister Nan, I wonder if the others are alright." Yu Baoyin asked worriedly on the side.

Nanzhi had been thinking about it as well.

She wished they were not in the field during this weather. 

Five minutes passed, suddenly, the doors of the bunker opened and researchers and farmers on their work clothes rushed outside.

Their faces pale and wounded with scratches and bite marks on their arms. It was clearly from an animal.

"Help! Help! Inside….inside!" 

"What happened?"

"The animals…the animals…" The people couldn't articulate their words due to shock probably and only frantically gestured the soldiers to the bunker.

The soldiers quickly hurried inside.

Nanzhi heard what the people stuttered.

She slipped behind the soldiers, quietly like a thieving cat. Inside the sleeves of her thick down jacket was an army thorn.
