Chapter 14: Injuries

In the corner, a pair of scarlet eyes spotted Zhou Yunfeng and Lu Xing, and they didn't notice it for the time being, vigilantly observing the surroundings, and danger crept in without warning.

A creature more than two meters tall appeared, rushed out in an instant, and aimed at Zhou Yunfeng, who was looking at other places, menacing, and the speed was very fast.

"Get out of the way!" At this time, Lu Xing happened to turn his head and saw a black shadow rushing towards him at a very fast speed, and shouted with an unusually quick reaction, and quickly stretched out his right hand and pushed Zhou Yunfeng violently.

When Zhou Yunfeng heard the voice, he was suddenly pushed and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, his body coordination was good, and he stabilized his body in time, and then turned his head sharply to look to the side.

At a glance, the creature more than two meters tall had already come to the front, and at first glance, it looked like a rooster, but it was very big, standing more than two meters tall, much bigger than the two of them combined.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was less than two meters, Lu Xing was the closest to the creature, only a little more than a meter, his reaction was already very fast, and he jumped and flashed to the side, but the huge rooster was faster, and the sharp beak pecked at him with lightning speed.

In an instant, the chicken beak hit Lu Xing's right arm, but fortunately, he reacted very timely just now, the chicken beak did not hit the middle position, and it grazed from the edge, but it also caused him to be injured and bleeding, his clothes were torn a big hole, and a deep hole appeared on his arm.

"Let's go!" Luckily escaped, the corners of Lu Xing's mouth twitched, and he felt a sharp pain coming from his arm, and the military crossbow in his hand fell to the ground, he didn't care about picking up the weapon, and after flashing next to Zhou Yunfeng, he immediately ran up.

Everything happened too fast, and in just a few seconds, Zhou Yunfeng was not a fool, and after seeing the situation, he also ran wildly, followed him, and ran towards the side of the house.

"That thing is faster than us, it can't run in a straight line, it runs around the house, so it shouldn't be able to catch up with us!" While Lu Xing was running, he didn't forget to remind Zhou Yunfeng.

At that moment just now, while paying the price of injury, he thought very clearly and saw the current situation clearly, the speed of the giant behind him was definitely above the two of him, and once he was close to him, one person would die.

There are several houses nearby, two people around the house in a circle, more flexible than the rooster, with the advantage of the terrain, so that the rooster chases the speed before it reaches the corner, must turn and re-accelerate, so that it is not so easy to be caught up, this is the best choice at present.

Sure enough, when they turned around the corner, Zhou Yunfeng and Lu Xing turned in time, but the rooster behind them was not as flexible as them, and the turn was not timely enough, and they ran for a short distance before turning to chase them, and the originally close distance was suddenly pulled away by several meters.

In this way, the two of them circled around the house one by one, and the giant rooster chased after them, always getting closer in a straight line, but as soon as they reached the corner, the distance was reopened, and so on and so on for several laps, for the time being, they could only ensure that they would not be chased, but they could not get rid of the threat.

"What now? If we keep running, we'll be burned to death sooner or later, I don't think our physical strength is better than the monster in the back! Zhou Yunfeng turned his head from time to time and looked at the monster behind him, the expression on his face was ugly.

"Give me that bag of steel balls from you." As Lu Xing ran, he stretched out his uninjured left hand and asked Zhou Yunfeng for the steel balls equipped with the military crossbow.

When Zhou Yunfeng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he had already guessed what Lu Xing was going to do with the steel balls, so he immediately reached into his pocket and took out a small bag of steel balls and handed it to him.

As soon as Lu Xing got the steel ball bag, he immediately bit the tape with his teeth, and when he reached the next corner, the two turned almost at the same time, and when the distance was a few meters away, he broke the tape downward, and in an instant, the steel balls poured down, scattering all over the ground.

The remaining empty bag was thrown away, and the two continued to run forward, and the rooster behind stepped on the steel ball on the ground, and immediately slipped his feet and fell heavily to the ground.

The steel ball played its due role, successfully tripping the pursuers behind, taking advantage of this opportunity, the two of them had already run to the next corner and disappeared in front, while the rooster had just stood up and chased after him again, but the distance had suddenly widened a lot.

When the rooster reached the corner, he couldn't see the shadows of Zhou Yunfeng and Lu Xing, he didn't know where to run, the target disappeared from sight, and it suddenly didn't know where to go, and wandered around.

At this time, the two had already gone around to the side of the second house in front, Zhou Yunfeng quietly stretched out his head and glanced a few times not far away: "That rooster doesn't know where we are, it's still wandering over there, it's safe for the time being, but what now?" ”

Seeing that the giant rooster was not coming this way, Zhou Yunfeng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's discuss it in this house first, and don't be discovered." Lu Xing said.

Next, Zhou Yunfeng climbed the wall more than two meters high, stretched out his hand to pull Lu Xing up, and smoothly entered the small courtyard in front of the house.

After entering the courtyard, Zhou Yunfeng walked to the side of the house and confirmed from the window that there was no one inside, and there was a lot of dust in the house, so it seemed that no one had lived in it for a long time, so it was impossible for a polluter to exist.

After confirming that it was safe, he pried open the old wooden door, took the injured Lu Xing in, and finally closed the door.

The house has two floors, and Zhou Yunfeng cautiously walked up to the second floor to explore the way, with only two rooms on it, and a small ladder connected to the rooftop.

Zhou Yunfeng walked up to the rooftop, his vision widened, and the giant rooster not far below came into view, just in a hurry to escape, before he had time to take a closer look, he took this opportunity, he picked up the night vision binoculars hanging around his neck and observed.

"Well, it's supposed to be a contaminated rooster, but it's a little different from other polluted creatures." After looking at it for a while, Zhou Yunfeng felt that it was just a polluted rooster, and those bloodshot red eyes and purple-red veins were the best evidence.

However, the size of this polluted rooster is very large, standing more than two meters high, the size is very wrong, compared with the standing big brown bear, it is not much better, the black feathers on its body have not completely fallen off, only partially shed, the legs are covered with scales, and the claws on the toes are as sharp as hooks.

In the past, the polluted bodies he had seen, whether human or animal, had basically lost their hair and had red skin, thickened and hardened, but the roosters they encountered this time did not have these characteristics, and the change in body size was particularly exaggerated, and he did not think that gigantic was one of the characteristics of pollution.

"By the way, the last time I was looking for crystals in Jiancheng, the size of those two mice also became very large, could it be said!" Thinking of the big rat last time, Zhou Yunfeng realized something.

He was almost certain that the size of the rats was due to evolutionary radiation.

And the reason why this rooster has become so large is most likely to be the same as those two mice, affected during the appearance of evolutionary radiation, and its size has become huge.

Later, when the polluting radiation appeared, the rooster was contaminated again, and it became the current pollutant.

Standing on the rooftop and pondering for a while, Lu Xing also walked up and walked to his side: "After looking at it for so long, what did you find?" ”

Zhou Fengfang took off the telescope, handed it to Lu Xing, and explained his analysis.

"Your analysis should be correct, if those polluters can become huge, it will be dozens of times more dangerous than now!" Lu Xing observed the polluted rooster for a while and felt that Zhou Yunfeng was not wrong.

Ordinary polluting beasts and polluters are not the most terrifying, because they are not very dangerous in themselves, and even if they are strengthened after pollution, they cannot become particularly powerful in a short period of time.

The most terrifying thing is that those creatures that have evolved to a certain extent, once they turn into pollutants, the gap is not ordinarily large.

The huge polluted rooster encountered so far is already very dangerous, not only is it fast, but its attack methods are also extremely threatening, coupled with the catalysis of pollution, it has become fearless of death, and the danger has been raised to a higher level.

There must be some huge polluting bodies like this, or evolutionary organisms, but there should not be many for the time being, and there will be more and more in the future, and the threats faced by human beings can be imagined.

"How's the injury on your right hand?" Zhou Yunfeng looked at Lu Xing's right hand and said with some worry.

The wound is a bit deep, and the scope is not small, fortunately the bone was injured, otherwise it is estimated that the fracture will be broken, but the current situation is not much better, and if it is not disinfected and bandaged in time, the wound is very likely to be infected.

"It's okay, but I can't move for a short time, and you know that my ability can speed up the recovery of the wound, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem."

Lu Xing shook his head, and then said: "Now is not the time to worry about this, if that polluted rooster doesn't die, we won't be able to pass through here, and even going out is risky, we have to get rid of this trouble as soon as possible." ”

The polluted roosters are on the way, they have to be eliminated no matter what, and now they have no food in their hands, those two carts and backpacks are in the distance, and they will definitely not last long without supplies, and the priority is to remove the threat.

"That rooster doesn't look so easy to deal with, I wonder if a crossbow arrow can get into its head?" Dealing with the polluted rooster in front of him, Zhou Yunfeng had no bottom in his heart, maybe the power of the military crossbow was not enough to kill it.

"Don't think about using crossbow arrows at this time, it's time to take out the pistol!" Lu Xing reminded.

"You still use the pistol, I haven't robbed it, I'm afraid that if the bullet runs out, it may not be able to hit."

Zhou Yunfeng took out the pistol from his arms, shook his head helplessly, he had no confidence in his marksmanship at all, and he was easily nervous, feeling that it was the safest thing to hand over to Lu Xing to use, he didn't want to waste bullets, and he didn't want his mistakes to cause more annoyance.

This pistol is no better than a military crossbow, there is no scope, the marksmanship accuracy of the shooter is very critical, and it is common for a complete novice to miss a dozen consecutive robes. Although Lu Xing is not much better, he is calm and steady enough, and it is more appropriate for him to use it.

"No, I still have to come, I can't hold the pistol in my right hand now, I'm only unsteady with my left hand, and my head is too poor, if I don't get hurt, it's okay, but not now!" Lu Xing shook his head again and again, the injury of his right hand was a big problem, so this task still had to be completed by Zhou Yunfeng.

Zhou Yunfeng frowned after hearing this, he knew that he was a few pounds and a few taels, and the more he was in an emergency, the easier it was to make mistakes, but now he had to do it as a last resort.

"Your easy nervousness must be corrected, and a similar situation will not be avoided in the future, this step must be crossed no matter what, and there must be progress!"

It is rare to see it, Lu Xing's expression became serious, he has been together for more than ten years since he was a child, and he knows Zhou Yunfeng very well. And the same is true of Zhou Yunfeng, the two are very familiar with each other.
