Chapter 11: The Moth's Journey to Fire
In the evening, as the sun sets, the sun softens considerably, and the shadows cast by the high-rise buildings cover most of each street.
Outside the building of the Qicheng Epidemic Prevention Center, dozens of skinners who had been hiding in the surrounding buildings came out and began to wander the streets.
When the power of the sun wanes, it is time for them to move.
Next, they have to hunt and forage for food, whether it is a rotten can, a rat in the gutter, or a large animal that is lonely.
Although the gargoyle type 1 vaccine gave them a fragile and strange body, it strengthened their tissues from within, turning them into fragile and powerful monsters.
A skinner roams the streets, sniffing the scent of the human during the day, a desire to skin in his chaotic consciousness.
At this moment, a low roar came from the underground of the epidemic prevention center building, followed by a loud "boom" at the exit of the underground parking lot, and the parking pole was smashed by a black shadow.
The skinner turned his head and saw the black steel body and six pairs of huge load-bearing wheels rolling towards him, and before he could react, he was already swept under the wheels and crushed with a smile of relief.
A heavy armored vehicle pulls out of an underground garage at high speed and rampages through the streets!
The surrounding group of skinners immediately let out a wild scream, and rushed towards the armored car one after another, stopping on the road of the armored car like a mantis arm, and was crushed and shattered!
In the cockpit of the armored car, Shen Feng said to himself while controlling the direction of progress:
"This thing drives like Brother Hai's truck......"
At this time, the armored vehicle was already filled with diesel, and there were several large barrels of spare fuel, as well as a large number of light and heavy weapons and ammunition stacked in the compartment.
In addition to Shen Feng, there were also four stone statues in military uniforms sitting in the cabin, as if they were preparing to go out on a mission before the virus completely broke out.
With this armored car, Shen Feng's heart was simply bubbling.
What beasts, what skinners, are just a piece of cake.
Humans with heavy weapons are the well-deserved kings of this apocalyptic world!
No matter how sharp the beast's minions are, they will never be able to tear through the steel!
One by one, the skinners fell under the wheels of the armored car, like moths to the fire.
In their chaotic minds, it was clear that this was the cure for a quick end to all suffering.
Shen Feng's face was solemn, not the slightest ridicule, but like a preacher who performed sacred rituals.
For these poor incinerators, death alone is the ultimate relief.
Their attack on Shen Feng was, to some extent, nothing more than a search for death.
As the armored car drove through the entire street, everything fell silent, except for the roar of the engine.
The wheels had turned crimson, leaving behind two brightly colored ruts that glowed burgundy in the afterglow of the setting sun.
The sky quickly darkened, Shen Feng did not stop, and directly drove the armored car to the entrance of the highway on the outskirts of Qicheng, and then turned off the engine.
Although it is possible to go north to the capital directly according to the built-in map of the on-board computer, the road is difficult to walk at night, and it will be troublesome if you get stuck in a pit, so I plan to spend the night here and wait until tomorrow.
There is a gas station at the highway intersection, the door of the convenience store is wide open, and there are stone statues of some gas station employees.
Shen Feng turned on the headlights of the armored car, shot directly at the convenience store at the gas station, got out of the armored car with a shotgun, searched the convenience store, and returned to the car again.
As someone who has not been trained in professional shooting, he still prefers shotguns, which are less aim-oriented.
And after two days of using firearms, he also found a more serious problem, that is, his arm strength is seriously insufficient.
Not to mention how heavy these things were, the recoil of the multiple shots alone had already shook his arms and covered them with bruises.
If he hadn't slowly figured out how to shoot later, his shoulder would have been dislocated by the shotgun.
Strength training is a must, and a lot of protein is needed to build muscle.
As night fell, using spoiled gasoline found in a convenience store and a few pieces of wood to light a fire, Shen Feng climbed onto the roof of the armored car and lay down, looking at the starry sky in a daze.
In the distance, the city of Qi was already dark, like a ghost domain, and only the lights of the epidemic prevention center building were still bright, indicating that the solar system was still working.
In a few years, decades, when the system is broken and the lights are completely gone, the last vestiges of human technology will disappear completely in the city.
The city will also be hidden in the wilderness, waiting for new intelligent beings to be discovered.
Suddenly, there was a faint sound of footsteps in the surrounding darkness, and Shen Feng immediately sat up straight, picked up his shotgun, and looked around.
In the dark night not far from the firelight, a pair of emerald eyes appeared.
Then these eyes approached again, and a group of beast shadows appeared in front of Shen Feng.
It's a pack of wolves.
Shen Feng couldn't help but be a little surprised, and saw that the golden retriever dog who was walking in front was covered with scars.
They actually followed here?
Do you want to attack?
If Shen Feng still had some drumming in his heart when he encountered it during the day, he was not afraid at all now.
All he had to do was get into the armored car and close the door, the wolves were lambs to the slaughter.
At this moment, the golden retriever continued to walk towards him, and it actually had a bloody beast leg in its mouth!
With Shen Feng's long-term barbecue experience, this should be a leg of mutton!
The Golden Retriever walked up to the armored car, put the leg of mutton down, then stuck out his tongue and smiled, and wagged his tail slightly.
Seeing this scene, Shen Feng's heart suddenly soured.
This fool!
What does it want to do?
Do you want him to be its master?
Obviously, Shen Feng's appearance reminded this golden retriever of the past and the years with humans, so he came to take the initiative to show favor to Shen Feng.
The golden retriever squatted on the ground and stared blankly at Shen Feng, while the wolves behind it disappeared into the darkness.
Shen Feng sighed and said:
"You don't need human company anymore, you are now the king of the wolves, live well with your herd...... Human beings are not worthy of your nostalgia. ”
He is just a passerby to this world, whether he leaves here or becomes a stone statue, he only has a month at most, and he can't give this golden retriever any company at all.
"Wang ...... Woof...... Woo......" The golden retriever seemed to feel Shen Feng's emotions, wagged his tail and barked a few times, and lowered his head.
At that moment, the barking of wolves and the chaotic sound of hooves could be heard in the distance.
In the darkness, seven or eight antelopes burst out, and behind them, there were wolves in hot pursuit!
The wolves didn't leave just now, but found the traces of the nearby antelope and went to hunt!
Seeing that one after another antelope rushed past the fire, about to get out of the hunting circle of the wolves, Shen Feng raised his shotgun and pulled the trigger in an instant.
"Boom!"
A puff of steel balls was struck, and the two antelopes that were passing by the fire were immediately knocked to the ground, chased by the wolves that followed them, and dragged into the darkness.
Shen Feng smiled and said to the golden retriever: "Go, I'll invite everyone to a big meal." ”
As if sensing Shen Feng's meaning, the golden retriever barked at him a few times, turned around and rushed into the wolves, and began to feast together.
Shen Feng jumped out of the armored car and picked up the leg of mutton, cleaned it, directly lit a fire on the roof of the car, took out the condiments and began to grill.
The fat leg of lamb is roasted until it is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the aroma of the mutton fat is bubbling outward, and the aroma soon wafts through the night.
The wolves feasted not far away, barking at Shen Feng from time to time, as if thanking him for his help.
Shen Feng took a knife and cut off a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, and the rich aroma spread in his mouth, better than all the roast mutton he had eaten before.
I chewed it a few times and swallowed it, leaving a fragrant taste on my lips and teeth.
After eating, the golden retriever took the wolves to a place not far from the armored car, lay on the ground, and fell asleep together.
Shen Feng smiled, and also fell asleep when he got into the armored car.
The wolves and humans are together, and they seem to be nostalgic for the temperature of that lost civilization.
Shen Feng slept very soundly, and the tension of the past two days was completely relaxed.
Early the next morning, Shen Feng got out of the cabin and saw that the wolves were still guarding outside, as if waiting for him to wake up.
Looking at the golden retriever with an expectant face, Shen Feng picked up his gun and fired a shot at the ground in front of the golden retriever, and said with a hard heart:
"Let's go, you don't need the master anymore, all you need is freedom."
