"Uncle, this bad mosquito, can I eat it?"

Little Apple suddenly held his fingers in his mouth, blinked with a pair of big watery eyes, and looked at the giant mosquito on the ground that had lost all its limbs but was still struggling, revealing a look of great longing, which was many times more fanatical than the appearance of ordinary children when they saw the rock sugar gourd.

"Huh?"

Lin Xi was stunned and lifted the mosquito up.

He first glanced at the fishy wound where the mosquito kept bleeding black thick pulp, and then looked at the greedy little Lori, and asked in a trembling voice,

"Are you sure you're going to eat this?"

"Hmm!"

Little Lori nodded affirmatively and replied succinctly: "It's very fragrant!" ”

"It smells good?"

Lin Xi was completely speechless about this girl's special taste and hobby.

"Can you ......?"

Little Lori hugged Lin Xi's thigh again and shook it, and said coquettishly, "Big brother, good brother, give me food, people want to eat it." ”

As he spoke, he showed a pitiful expression that wanted to cry.

Lin Xi scratched his head, "Uh...... Yes, yes, but can you wait a minute? ”

He left this mosquito, mainly to try some of the usual anti-mosquito methods used before to be useful to them, after all, since a mutant mosquito has appeared, then it may not be possible to encounter the main force of these guys in the future, if there is no mosquito repellent means, I don't know how to die.

For this reason, he is even willing to postpone the original predation plan for a while.

"Well, of course, it just so happens that Little Apple has just eaten enough."

Little Apple immediately showed a sweet smile on her face and nodded obediently.

She didn't ask Lin Xi what she was waiting for all this time, anyway, as long as Lin Xi promised to give her the mosquitoes, she was already very satisfied.

"Okay, you help the big brother get this mosquito, and then we'll go out together to find something."

Lin Xi stuffed the big mosquito into the arms of the little apple, thought about it, and then admonished, "Don't steal it." ”

After giving the instructions, he picked up the war hammer he had carefully built, carried two spears on his back, and took little Lori's hand and set off.

After seeing the powerful role of little Lori, he no longer dared to see this little ancestor as a powerless little girl, of course, the fierce battle would not let him participate, at most it was only an auxiliary or early warning role. However, he went out this time, mainly not to hunt for food, but to search for some other supplies, such as flower dew water mosquito coils and the like, as long as he was cautious, the chance of a battle would not be particularly large.

Walking out of the underground garage and turning two more corners, Lin Xi saw the small supermarket where he collected quilts and daily necessities last time.

Compared to the last time he came, it was clearly a lot more chaotic again:

The front of the door was splattered with dried blood, which exploded and flew in all directions, and the scene looked horrific, with black rotting objects remaining in several places, and it was unknown whether it was flesh or internal organs. However, judging by the messy hoof prints and claw marks around it, it is believed that both sides of this battle are not humans, but some kind of predatory beast that pursues a large herbivore all the way, and finally completes the climax of this hunt in this place.

The strong fishy smell made Lin Xi frown.

Now his sense of smell has become so keen that it can be comparable to that of canines, but in his thinking, he still stubbornly retains the human sense of smell, so whenever he encounters this kind of thing that emits a foul smell, it is the most painful time for him, and even has the illusion that his nose is being tortured.

But in the next second, he still picked up the little apple, carefully bypassed the huge pool of residual blood, and entered the supermarket.

He didn't want the soles of his shoes to be stained with the slightest trace of blood, and in a world full of beasts with a keen sense of smell, the smell of blood on his body was no different than shouting "Come and eat me".

Simple-minded people don't care whose blood you have, and in their hunting instincts, the smell of blood means that the prey has been injured, and a wounded prey is a further sign of weakness, difficulty in resisting, and being more likely to be killed.

Perfect prey.

If Lin Xi dared to let this blood remain on his body, then look at it, it wouldn't be long before he would have to face an endless stream of predators.

Believe me, it's definitely a hilarious one that no human wants to try.

"Little Apple, you come down and go by yourself."

As soon as he entered the supermarket, Lin Xi put the little apple from his arms, gave a serious order, and he vigilantly raised the war hammer.

Behind him, Xiao Apple did not spoil or complain regardless of the occasion like an ordinary child, but after landing on the ground, she quickly raised her small body, further reducing the area where she might be attacked, and in her two eyes, there was also a light as indifferent and alert as a young beast, closely following behind Lin Xi, but it was just at a distance that would not affect Lin Xi's combat performance.

For hunting and counter-hunting, this little girl who looks like she is only three or four years old, but she seems to have some innate natural instinct.

Lin Xi turned his head, just glanced at it, and immediately nodded with satisfaction, and then stopped paying attention, but completely focused on the surrounding environment.

In fact, Little Apple's reaction, even if it were him, couldn't have done better.

In the supermarket full of stale smells, the two of them just walked one after the other, carefully and cautiously, like two fierce beasts that were enemies of the world, and their steps were so light that they barely made a sound.

After the cataclysm, there is no safe corner of the world.

Especially in a narrow and visually constrained terrain like a supermarket, intruders must be prepared for a surprise attack at any time, and even if they were sure to be safe the last time they came, they should not be taken lightly this time, because no one knows if new predators will break into the area during this time and occupy it as their warm nest.

Just like last time, at this moment, Lin Xi's vision only had dim light, crooked and collapsed shelves, and useless goods scattered all over the ground, but after this period of experience, he sensitively smelled a trace of rancid smell in the deepest part of the supermarket, which was the smell of corpses that would only be emitted after they were decomposed.

If it were an ordinary human, he would definitely ignore this smell directly, and even if a few people with a more sensitive sense of smell noticed it, I am afraid that they would confuse it with the smell of blood at the door and ignore it.

The human sense of smell has an inherent disadvantage in identifying the type and location of smells.

But Lin Xi is different, although his evolved sense of smell is not yet able to almost completely replace vision like dogs, but these two smells are completely different to him, not only the source is in the opposite direction, but even the taste is completely different:

The bloodstains at the doorway were left by a separate hunt, so the fishy stench, both in its kind and in the time of decay, appeared rather pure; But this wisp of rancid smell from the depths of the supermarket is completely different from the smell at the door, it is produced by the flesh and blood of many kinds of animals, which decay at different times.

It can only be one situation that will cause this smell, that is, this supermarket has indeed been used as its nest by some kind of carnivore, as Lin Xi feared, and these rotting animals at different times are all prey that it hunts outside and then drags back to eat!

"!"

Lin Xi's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

Immediately, Little Apple was pleased to see that the ears of his big brother/uncle suddenly twitched at a very fast frequency, and the pinna was even more flexible than that of humans, and quickly turned in all directions, so that no matter which direction the sound waves came from, it was difficult to escape his surveillance.

In an instant, his ears stopped moving.

"That guy isn't home right now!"

Lin Xi's voice suddenly mentioned, he hurriedly pointed to the shelves, and commanded, "Let's go, little apple, we must hurry up and find what we need!" Before it comes back! ”
