'Lured the wolves away?!'
Everyone's heart tightened at her words.
"What happened? Did you run into wolves? Did they attack you?" Tang Bin's expression changed as he pressed for details.

Deng Lei's brow furrowed. "The wolves charged you?"
"Y-Yes."
Wiping her tears, the young woman recalled the events in a broken voice, still thick with fear. "We were collecting samples when we suddenly heard howling very close by. Then, several wolves burst out of the woods."
"They... they were acting strangely. They didn't approach slowly. It was like... like something had spooked them. They just charged us out of nowhere!"
