Chapter 9 A Narrow Encounter
Although he was prepared, Chen Qi didn't expect that the tragedy would come so quickly.
At this moment, he was pulling a cart, holding a knife in one hand and a bow in the other, and he got out of the underground passage in embarrassment, and rushed forward like a raging wind.
And behind him, chasing a large group of huge hellhounds, scarlet eyes, sharp teeth, and hideous faces, barked and chased after him all the way, like chasing a rabbit.
There were at least forty or fifty of them, all of them strong, huge, with sharp teeth, and they ran as fast as they could fly.
If it weren't for the fact that Chen Qi had just strengthened his body and had sufficient physical strength, he might not have been able to outrun them.
Chen Qi didn't dare to stop, because as soon as he stopped, he would be besieged by this group of hell dogs. Even with his current strength, it will be difficult to deal with these guys.
They were meant to be one of the kings of the city, apex predators.
The demon virus has not only strengthened their physique and body, but also strengthened their minions, muscles and bones, and now they have become as big and strong as lions, which is very ferocious.
Anyone who has seen hyenas knows how terrifying they are, and these guys are only as good as hyenas.
Dogs were originally people's closest friends. But after being infected with the demon virus, it has become the most terrifying natural enemy of human beings, especially those stray dogs, which are incomparably fierce.
With their sensitive sense of smell, developed hearing, strong vision and strong body, sharp teeth, sharp claws, skilled teamwork, top intelligence, and terrifying fertility, they have become one of the most terrifying existences in this world, and it is definitely a nightmare for human survivors.
In the apocalyptic world, even ordinary frogs have become terrifying existences like demon frogs, not to mention those who are already very tough.
The demon virus is a disaster, an evolution, a threat, and an opportunity, the survival of the fittest, and the stronger are stronger.
Only a race like humans, which rely on brains and intelligence to survive, has long since degenerated its predatory instinct, and will appear weak and powerless in the face of demonic viruses.
Many creatures that used to pose no threat to humans have now become terrifying predators, such as rats, snakes, scorpions, centipedes, stray dogs, stray cats, and wild monkeys. Especially rats and stray dogs, these extremely fertile creatures, are simply a nightmare for surviving humans.
The demon virus has fundamentally changed the ecological environment of the entire world, and the original food chain order has been chaotic.
Bat monsters, walking corpses, mutated rats, Cerberus, demon scorpions, giant cockroaches, hellcats, demon monkeys, these mutated creatures prey on each other, and have formed a new and complete food chain, and humans are their common prey.
The current city has basically become the world of these mutant creatures, and the reason is very simple, because the city has the most walking corpses and bat monsters, and they feed a large number of fierce and bloodthirsty monsters.
Walking alone on the streets of the city, day or night, is an act of seeking death.
The closer you are to the city center, the more dangerous it is, because it used to be the most populous, but now it is the most food.
Above the ground, there are predators everywhere, and no one dares to run rampant on them, unless you are really strong enough to be fearless of all threats.
Chen Qi didn't dare, so he chose to take the underground passage dug by the Axe Gang.
It is also the crystallization of human ingenuity, with underground passages and underground shelters extending in all directions, providing the last habitat for humans.
But don't think that the underground passage is safe, once it is invaded by demon rats and hellhounds, it will be a tragic end.
Chen Qi was passing through the underground passage when he met a group of hell dogs who broke into the tunnel, and after killing more than a dozen, he had to flee, so there was the scene just now.
He was now covered in blood, scarred, and covered in blood and tooth marks, and he was really embarrassed.
Even with the current physical state, it is still a little difficult to deal with these guys, after all, they have not crossed the second order.
The hellhounds barked wildly and chased after them.
Chen Qi knew that he had to find a house, preferably a higher place, in order to be condescending and deal with these monsters. Otherwise, once they stop and are besieged by these vicious dogs, the result is difficult to say.
These guys, as difficult to deal with as the bat-monsters.
He was running wildly down the street, and suddenly he saw what seemed to be someone running wildly in front of him, followed by a large group of hellhounds.
It seemed to be a young woman in a denim suit, very tall, with a longbow, and running as fast as a puff of smoke.
Seeing that the two were about to collide head-on.
Isn't it, that's fine? Chen Qi was a little dumbfounded.
There seemed to be some surprise on the other side, and both sides raised their bows and crossbows and strengthened their guards.
In the last days, you can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't have the heart to defend people, if the other party suddenly shoots an arrow, there is no place to say it.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and they were about to collide with each other when they suddenly lowered their arrows, stretched out their hands and pointed to the right.
Chen Qi nodded, and also lowered the divine arm bow, so the two of them rushed over like the right side.
There was a gate there, which turned out to be a shopping mall.
The two vicious dog chasers collided with each other, several of them were broken bones, and more of them missed the confrontation.
The two vicious dogs didn't seem to be in the same team, but they were also familiar with each other, barking at each other for a while, and then relentlessly catching up.
The woman kicked open the door of the hidden mall, and both of them broke in.
The mall has been abandoned for a long time, there is garbage everywhere, the scene inside is very empty, and there are two elevators leading to the second floor.
This is the best position for their defense, but Chen Qi has difficulties, because the iron plate car is big and heavy, and the elevator can't pull up.
If he directly put Xiao Eleven down, he wouldn't dare, what if these hellhounds were very smart and opened the sleeping pod? Little Eleven's smell can't hide from these guys with smart noses.
And if you want to escape, you can't just leave Xiao Eleven alone, no matter what, you have to take her with you.
Fortunately, he was also a decisive man, and quickly untied the chains around his waist and shouted to the woman: "Please cover me!" ”
"I don't have many arrows on me!" The woman shouted.
"Just a little bit!"
"Good!" The woman ran and stopped, kicked up a garbage can, blocked the path of the vicious dogs, and then swished a few pieces and shot several vicious dogs.
Chen Qi quickly opened the hatch of the dormant cabin, quickly picked up Xiao Eleven, then closed the hatch, and took out a bundle of arrows and a compound crossbow that had been tied long ago from under the iron plate car.
This was something he had prepared for a long time, in order to prevent the arrows from running out, although they were bamboo arrows, they were also hard and sharp enough.
"It's okay, run!" Chen Qi shouted at the woman, ran wildly towards the elevator, and soon ran to the second floor, put Xiao Shiyi on the ground, and then turned around and condescendingly covered the woman.
He pulled the trigger, and every shot of the arrow hit the head of a vicious dog, destroying their brains, and then killing them.
The woman was also running wildly towards the elevator, and the vicious dogs following her were shot by Chen Qi and fell to the ground one after another.
Soon, the remaining crossbow arrows in the Divine Arm Bow were shot, and Chen Qi immediately switched to manual mode, took the arrows from the quiver behind his back, loaded them, and then shot them out one by one.
Of course, this speed is slower, but it can't be helped.
Fortunately, the woman had already climbed up, looking at the compound crossbow and arrows on the side, her eyes lit up, and she immediately picked up the bow and crossbow and began to shoot arrows, and her movements were also very skillful.
So, the two of them condescended, and they kept shooting the vicious dogs under the elevator, one arrow after another.
No matter how many vicious dogs there were, it was not enough for two of them to kill like this, and soon, the corpses of more than thirty vicious dogs were left on the ground, and the other guys saw that the situation was not good, barked a few times, and fled with their tails between their legs.
The two finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sun Xiaowan, what about you?" The woman smiled at Chen Qi, quite a heroic taste.
It is a miracle that such a young and beautiful woman can still survive in this last days, although she is a little thin and dry from hunger, but it is still difficult to hide that heroic and refreshing atmosphere.
It is estimated that what she relies on is the archery skills that hit every shot, and she carries a machete behind her back, so it seems that her foundation will not be weak. Judging by the speed at which she runs, she is at least a second-level peak warrior, even surpassing the second-order.
"Chen Qi." Chen Qi also smiled slightly and stretched out his right hand, "It's a pleasure to meet you." ”
"Don't be so polite, your daughter?"
"No, my sister, Chen Shiyi."
"Little sister, hello." Sun Xiaowan squatted down and touched her hair, "How old are you this year?" ”
"Seven years old." Little Eleven glanced at her, tilted his head, and avoided her hand.
"That's good." Sun Xiaowan withdrew her right hand with some embarrassment.
At this moment, a gurgling sound came out of her stomach, making her face a little red.
"If you don't mind, we've got something to eat there." Chen Qi said understandingly.
I don't know if she can eat the meat of the demon frog, but there are still two canned meat that she took out in the Banche gang before, and she can give it to her, and now they have the meat of the demon frog, and there is no shortage of food for the time being.
I don't know if the meat of these hellhounds can be eaten, if it can be eaten, it is also a lot of meat, which is more nutritious than frog meat.
Dog meat rolls three times, the gods also roll, and the hellish dog is also a dog.
"Then bother." Sun Xiaowan was not polite.
So Chen Qi hugged Xiao Eleven, and the three of them got off the elevator together and came to the hall full of corpses.
Chen Qi opened the second half of the sleeping pod, ready to take out the two cans for her.
"So many pieces of meat? What meat? Sun Xiaowan saw the piece of meat inside, and her face was a little surprised.
"Demon frog, you may not be able to eat it." Chen Qi took out two cans and gave them to it.
"Isn't the demon frog poisonous? Why do you get so many pieces of meat? Sun Xiaowan took the canned food, puzzled.
"Meat, of course." Chen Qi, "Their toxins don't work for us. ”
"Are you immune to demonic viruses?" Sun Xiaowan was surprised again.
"No, a trace amount is immune, we have been eating this meat since last night, and we haven't noticed anything abnormal yet. Eleven, are you thirsty? Would you like to drink some water? ”。
"Hmm." Little Eleven nodded.
After Chen Qi finished feeding her and drinking water, he closed the lid of the dormant cabin, and took out a teapot from the iron box at the back, and in Sun Xiaowan's surprised gaze, he walked to a hellish dog that had not completely lost his breath, stabbed it in the neck, and then took a teapot of blood out.
