Chapter 8: The Hunter at Night
When night falls in this bloody and carnage city, the drones in the sky also send flashing signals in the night sky, shining as bright as the beautiful stars. Powerful paranormal people roam the streets and alleys, ruthlessly slaughtering the weak, while ants hiding in the shadows shiver in the icy night wind.
At the same time, on the edge of the city, in a dilapidated small supermarket, a thin figure is hunched over to collect unexpired food and water.
This figure is none other than Ling Long, who had been hiding in the factory before, and at this moment he was stocking up on food for tomorrow's operation. As he had guessed, different geographical locations had different weapons and equipment, and while browsing the shelves, he saw a row of medical knives neatly arranged on the counter not far away.
Packing the food in the bag, Ling Long walked quickly to the counter and carefully examined the row of scalpels in front of him, although in terms of quality and sharpness, these knives could completely blow up his pig-killing knife, but the scalpel was no different from ordinary fruit knives to their laymen.
Just as Ling Long was thinking about whether to bring two for self-defense, the abnormal watch on his wrist began to vibrate violently.
Ling Long picked up a scalpel and hid under the counter, while listening carefully to the sounds around him.
After nearly a minute, Ling Long couldn't hear anything that didn't belong to him except for his own breathing, and groped his head out, the originally dark supermarket in front of him was still dead silent, only the "whirring" sound of the cold wind through the already broken window.
"Could it be that the other party is a weak person like me?" Ling Long pondered as he cautiously observed his surroundings: this place is different from the factory, it is one of several food supply places in this area, and the probability of encountering enemies is very high, but the purpose of the visitor is difficult to guess. For example, in the factory before, there were no supplies in it, and there was no special place to hide, and the people who went there were rushing to hunt and kill others. But the supermarket is different, and there is a high probability that the people who came in to steal supplies in order to spend the first two days safely, once the watch vibrates, their strength is not good, so they naturally choose to leave temporarily.
Thinking of this, Ling Long also suspected that he might be a false alarm, and stood up and prepared to pick up the knife and leave.
At the moment when Ling Long's hand was about to touch the scalpel, a black shadow fell from the sky, directly pressing the unsuspecting Ling Long to the ground! Shocked, Ling Long raised the scalpel and stabbed at the black shadow, and at the moment of life and death, the black shadow didn't seem to have the idea of fighting with Ling Long, his body retreated, and he disappeared again in the dark supermarket with a few jumps.
After being frightened, Ling Long hurriedly strode to the corner of the supermarket, raised the scalpel, and looked around, but except for the rows of uneven shelves, he still couldn't see half a figure.
Gasping for breath, Ling Long reached out and touched his neck, but there were a few more bloody wounds! The severe pain that followed made Ling Long, who was originally a little flustered, gradually calm down, and secretly guessed that his weapon should be similar to an iron eagle claw......
Ling Long concentrated on looking for the black shadow just now, but after a few minutes, the person did not reappear.
It's too passive to go on like this...... Ling Long felt like he was a prey to be slaughtered at the moment, the other party must be watching him from some corner of this supermarket now, as long as he slacked off, he might lose his life.
Gritting his teeth, Ling Long decided to leave here first, if the other party wanted to stop him, he would definitely appear in front of him again, rather than waiting for the rabbit, it would be better to break the kettle!
After looking around for a week, Ling Long took a deep breath, and suddenly rushed towards the door of the supermarket with a scalpel! Skillfully bypassing the shelves, Ling Long rushed to the door of the supermarket in a few big steps, and at the moment when he stretched out his hand to push the door, the black shadow pounced on Ling Long again, and this time Ling Long, who had been prepared, finally saw his appearance clearly while dodging: dressed in black, with sharp fangs, although he had a human face, his palms showed four nails with sharp hooks like an eagle!
"Pretending to be a ghost...... Although Ling Long had never seen such a monster with a human face and a beast body, he had also learned the knowledge of this kind of supernatural person in books before.
In the Ocean of the Awakened Humans, there is a group of people who are no different from ordinary people on a normal day, but can transform into some kind of beast when needed, and this kind of ability is collectively called beastification. Most of the beast abilities are physically strong, and the specific attributes depend on the type and level of the beast.
"Jie Ji ......" The monster with a human face and a beast body let out a strange laugh when he saw Ling Long holding a knife cautiously, "Little guy, you are my dinner tonight!"
After that, the terrifying orc suddenly opened his arms, and two huge bat-like wings instantly blocked the door of the supermarket, and his arm span looked like it was more than three meters long!
With a few flicks of his wings, the batman's feet slowly lifted off the ground, his eyes staring at Ling Long like two blood-red gems in the darkness.
With the killing speed shown by the bat man just now, Ling Long secretly complained in his heart, although the other party couldn't make too flexible movements in such a small supermarket, but even so, he still didn't dare to guarantee how long he could hold out in front of him.
Not only does he have the acumen and speed of a bat, but his eyes also seem to have night vision, and the night is his best hunting ground!
"Die!" The bat man suddenly kicked his feet back, and the whole person pounced on Ling Long in a spiral!
Gripping the scalpel tightly, Ling Long had no way back, so he could only watch the other party drag himself to the ground and slash towards the counter!
The barbs on the batman's claws pierced Ling Long's shoulder, and the blood flowed a dark red mark on the floor tiles of the supermarket.
With a muffled sound of "bang", Ling Long was thrown on the counter by the bat man! Swallowing the blood gushing up in his mouth with difficulty, Ling Long slashed at his claws with all his might, only to hear a crisp sound, and the sharp scalpel actually shattered!
"Truly...... I'm going to eat you......" With a strong lift of his claws, the bat man lifted Ling Long up, "Let's tear it apart first......"
"Don't make a move!" Ling Long suddenly shouted, and at the same time threw the broken scalpel at the bat man's head!
With his head tilted slightly, the bat man easily dodged the flying knife that was only half a finger long, and at the same time looked at Ling Long with a smug expression: "My reaction is several times that of yours, obediently be my plate!"
As soon as the words fell, the bat man suddenly turned his head in surprise, only to see a little girl in a short white skirt standing behind him at some point, she was smiling at the moment, and then slowly said: "As a bait, is it not possible to work so soon?"
