Chapter 4: The Strange Baby

I looked closely at the puddle of blood, which looked like it had been diluted by rain, apparently splashed up from beyond the steps, and I looked around again, and saw that there were small spots that resembled blood, but I couldn't tell.

There was no blood under the steps, and it was as if it had been deliberately rinsed, which means that there may have been a heavy rain after the incident, which washed away all the blood stains under the steps.

Although I didn't understand the cause of this pool of blood, it made me more vigilant in my heart, and now the city I am in looks like an empty city, a dead city, but who knows, what danger will appear? If the watch, called Starcore, is true, it is not impossible that something unforeseen will happen.

Thinking so, I began to walk outside, the golden sunlight began to spread over the earth, and the silence around gave people an inexplicable comfort, but there was a sense of tranquility in the comfort.

The cars on the road are all over the place, because of the continuous collision, some of the cars have turned over, although there is no blood in the surrounding area, but I didn't dare to look inside the car, in my opinion, this level of car accidents, even if it is a dead person, it is very normal, this is a disaster picture that only appears in movies.

I found a small supermarket along the street, the door didn't close in time, and it was a little dim inside, but I couldn't wait to get inside, because I could already see the snack bags on the shelves.

I scurried in a few steps, at this time, I don't care about any danger or not, birds die for food, and people are not, otherwise there will be no idiom for easy children to eat.

Chocolate!

Potato chip!

I deliberately selected some high-calorie food, couldn't wait to tear open the bag, stuffed it directly into my mouth, and didn't bother to check the production date, took out a bottle of mineral water from the freezer, and began to overeat.

The sound of bags being torn open echoes in the small supermarket, and while eating and drinking, they continue to pick up other snacks.

Hiccup...

After a full hiccups, I finally put down the empty bag in my hand.

Lying on the cold floor, the fullness of my abdomen made me feel that this moment was the most beautiful moment of my life, and I never thought that one day, just some snacks that I usually don't bother to look at would give me an illusion of happiness.

I touched my bulging belly, then propped myself up with my hands and began to look around, maybe I should move the temporary camp here, there is food and drink, and it will probably not be a problem for me to survive for a month or two. I don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and it can also make me calm down and think about what to do in the future.

I took the fire axe and walked out of the small supermarket door, and was about to bring the quilt from the hospital or something, when I heard a 'click' sound not far away.

There was something strange about the sound, like it was gnawing on something, and I couldn't help but stop trying to hear the direction of the sound.

Next to the small supermarket is an alley, next to the alley should be a small shop selling breakfast, I listened carefully, the sound should have come from the alley.

Tightening the fire axe in my hand, I was full of energy and physical strength at this time, and I had some courage to find out.

After walking a few steps, I looked into the alley, but I didn't find anything, and the sound seemed to be even deeper.

Do you want to go in and have a look?

I hesitated, but curiosity drove me slowly down the alley.

Ho!

A sudden roar like a dog fighting for food stopped me, as if there were several of them? Could it be that there are dogs looking for food and fighting for food?

I subconsciously made up the picture in my head, and several hungry skinny dogs were barking at each other, hostile and warning each other.

If you rush in, will you be hostile to those hungry dogs? Or even treat yourself as food?

I hesitated again, no one could understand my mood at the moment, if I was the only one left in this world, I thought, I would go crazy and collapse, but the appearance of this voice made me dispel my previous worries, I really want to know if there are any creatures alive like me.

Thinking about it, I walked a few more steps, and what appeared in front of me was a stinky ditch dug against the corner of the wall to empty the waste water. However, the sound I heard came from this stinking gutter.

When I got closer, an indescribable sour smell from the stinking ditch invaded my olfactory system frantically, and I looked into the stinking ditch and found that the sound suddenly quieted down, as if it had discovered my arrival.

I didn't find anything strange, even if people are extremely hungry, let alone can find food in the stinky ditch, even if they eat human flesh, let alone cats and dogs without intelligence?

Maybe I alarmed them, and I started to plan to leave, or at least I already knew that there were other creatures in the city, and as for the disappearance of the others, maybe there was a reason for them all to move out of the city, or maybe I just didn't come across it.

Just as I was about to get out of the ditch, I heard the dog looking for food under the stinking ditch seem to be about to come out, and then I saw something crawling out of the dark ditch of the stinky ditch, and it was not a dog, nor a cat, but

Infant!

Yes, as I could see, it was like a baby who had just learned to crawl, its limbs quickly crawled out of the ditch, its head was about the size of a bowling ball, its ears were pointed, its chin was a little long, its eyes were round and green, and I was covered in straight hair, and its mouth was open, and its teeth were like jagged teeth, black, and it made a low 'ho-ho' roar.

This...

I couldn't believe what I saw, except for the green eyes and the jagged fangs, it looked like a baby a few months old, like a monster born of a mutated freak.

It crawled out, a pair of green eyes stared at me coldly, with a hint of inexplicable weirdness, I was covered in cold sweat when I saw it, my eyes were the windows of the soul, a pair of eyes, I could see a lot of things, yes, I actually saw a trace of weird excitement in those eyes, like a mad dog that was extremely hungry and suddenly saw delicious food.

Its three limbs began to bend slightly, and I could see that one of its forelimbs was injured, and its monkey-like paws were dragged along as if it didn't feel the slightest pain.

I grabbed the fire axe in my hand and stared at it, could this thing be the interstellar criminal that the star core said? Looking at its petite physique, I couldn't help but laugh at my thoughts.

I saw its bent limbs, it treated me like food, like a mad dog, maybe it would pounce on me in a crazy second, I was a little nervous, maybe because of its hideous face, but not very scared, maybe because of its petite size.

However, I saw two more of the same kind crawling out of it with limbs and limbs up behind it, and the two of them still had something in their mouths, and I looked closely and felt inexplicably frightened.

With a head in their mouth, I could see that it was their own kind! The other has a body in its mouth, and its limbs have been torn apart from the flesh.

They're eating their own kind!

In the same way, they saw me, staring at me with a pair of green and strange eyes, revealing the same eyes as the previous one, excited, blazing!

The two strange looking dolls in the back stared at me, and let out a strange roar similar to the excitement, and the bodies and heads of the same kind fell off when they opened their mouths full of sharp fangs, but they didn't care, as if I seemed to be more in line with their appetites!

I was already a little dazed, and my steps moved back, only to feel a black shadow rushing in front of me, and I suddenly subconsciously chopped the fire axe in my hand!

Boom!

I felt a shake in my hands, and I saw that the strange baby that came out earlier was struck by me, and it seemed to be asserting its possession of the food, so it pounced first, and the fire axe slashed at its upper jaw, apparently when it opened its mouth to bite me, but the unbladed fire axe didn't seem to cause it a lot of damage, only knocked out a few of its teeth and smashed its nose.

Roar!

It roared, kicked its hind limbs, and stuck to me, its speed is extremely fast, the body is sensitive like a wild monkey, I didn't hit an axe, and suddenly felt a sharp stabbing pain in my right forearm, I subconsciously let out a scream, frantically shook my right arm, trying to throw it out, but I was afraid of its attack power, I even heard the sound of flesh tearing, it was my hallucination, but it did tear off a piece of flesh from my forearm, because of inertia, it was also thrown out by me.

Blood was gushing from the wound on my forearm, and if it weren't for the layers of clothing outside, my arm would have been useless, and I could feel its horrible bite, and if it had bitten on the bone, it would have shattered!

I took a few steps back in horror to see that the strange baby who had nearly bitten off my arm had chewed and swallowed the rags on its cuffs with the flesh and blood, and the blood made its eyes brighter and brighter.

The two strange babies in the back also lunged at me, as if they were afraid that if I took one step slower, I would be devoured and my bones would be gone.

At this time, I was scared and angry, afraid that this thing was so terrifying, if they bit the fatal place, I was afraid that it would be difficult for me to survive. And to his anger, these crumbs actually used me as food, and swallowed my flesh as food.

I don't know where the courage came from to support me, so I didn't turn around and run away in fright, but swung the fire axe angrily and slashed it down. It may be that the fear of death made me forget the sharp pain in my arm, so that I no longer flinched, I roared to cheer myself up, and the fire axe in my hand struck one, but the other bit my thigh, and my right hand released the axe, grabbed its neck, and ripped it off my thigh, with a piece of flesh.

Its sharp claws scratched a few bloody marks on my thigh, and I was stimulated by the sharp pain, and I threw it to the ground, ignoring the other two monster babies, and the fire axe in my hand slashed down frantically.

"Miscellaneous, die!!"

As I roared, a cloud of black liquid splattered all over the ground, and its head was smashed by me, and its limbs twitched twice, but the remaining two monster babies jumped on my back and crawled towards my neck, trying to give me a fatal blow, and the other bit on my shoulder, which I was wearing, and it bit the shoulder pads on the shoulders of the suit, but it didn't hurt me.

So I didn't bother with it, but backhanded the weird one on my back, and with a tear, my back was scratched by its claws, and it landed on my hand, like a previous monster baby, and threw it to the ground with an axe, and smashed its head.

Then the third one was concocted by me and died under my axe, but I didn't stop, I still frantically smashed their corpses with the fire axe, they bit me, almost ate me, made me afraid, frightened, I had to kill them, I swung the fire axe wildly, my reason was replaced by anger and fear, until they were all chopped into pulp, and the fire axe in my hand fell to the ground.

"Plop."

I collapsed to my knees, my chest burning like a flame, and my breath tingling with a burning tingle.

I rubbed my cheeks to regain my clarity, and the cold, sticky liquid covered my face, and I realized that my arms were covered in blood.

Wow!

Suddenly a curtain of light appeared in front of my eyes, no, I should say that in my eyes, it was the damn watch. No matter how precious the watch is, in my mind at this time, it is an ominous object, and all these changes are brought about by it.

Columns of data flashed quickly in my eyes, and a human body was floating and spinning in the air in the light curtain, and it was me.

"Recovering data ......"

The stiff and cold voice of the machine reappeared in my mind, and I didn't have any excitement, just coldly watched the columns of words and numbers flashing in front of me.

"Scanning."

"Host identified: Prison guard, hunter."

"The host is injured, the degree of injury is light."

"Scanning for unidentified objects on the ground."

"The identity of the unidentified object has been confirmed: terratosis, incomplete evolutionary life, no intelligence, criminal level: too low to be determined."

"The host kills three exiled criminals for the first time, has nothing to draw nourishment, no merit, and is rewarded with one prison guard privilege, hunter level: Ding. Prison Rank: Half Star. ”

"What is a prison guard privilege?"

I finally believed what the watch called Star Core was saying, saying that Earth had become a prison for interstellar criminals, and that he was a dying prison guard in the prison, and that these terrifying creatures were the interstellar criminals who had been exiled to Earth. I hated this watch, which brought disaster to the earth and to mankind, but I was intrigued by its words.

"The privilege of the prison guard, is a reward for the special police, after the prison guard kills or captures the prey, the prison guard is rewarded according to the merit, this time because it is the first time the host kills the criminal, the special reward, when the host encounters danger, the star core will calculate and find the most suitable escape route for the host, increasing the probability of survival for the host, times: once."
