CHAPTER XXV
The two of them walked all the way in the direction of the north, the barracks were on the south side of the city, and further south they would be on the former farmland of the peasants.
It's usually inaccessible, but now it's even more dangerous.
Therefore, Liu Chang still chose to travel in the direction of the relatively safe city center. Then, just a few steps away, the little girl felt something different.
"I feel two creatures with a danger value of about 0.8, moving towards this direction."
“0.8?” Hearing the little girl's words, Liu Chang pulled her to squat down and lurk in the lush grass: "Luck is so good? ”
Clenching the scalpel, Liu Chang looked at the outside world from the crack in the grass.
"Is it the right direction?" Liu Chang cautiously pointed to the front of him with a scalpel.
"It's here, they're slowly moving this way."
"yes, okay." Nodding, Liu Chang held his breath.
Because he knew that for a sensitive animal, even the slightest breathing sound was enough to expose himself to his target. And as a hunter, lurking is always the most important lesson.
Time flies in a rhythmic way, and Liu Chang uses the method of counting heartbeats to relieve the tension before hunting.
Just as he had counted his hundredth heartbeat, he saw the grass wriggling in front of him, and then two creatures emerged from it.
"Damn!" After the two creatures appeared in Liu Chang's sight, he scolded in a low voice and stood up from the grass: "Xiao Jing, don't hide, it's two people." ”
"Oh." Hearing Liu Chang's voice, the little girl also stood up from the grass: "Are they two girls?" ”
"Hmm." Liu Chang looked at the two girls who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old in the distance, and it was obvious that the sound of his speech frightened the two girls, but because their eyesight could only see within three meters, they couldn't see Liu Chang.
"Who, is anyone there?" What you can't see is what scares even more, and the two girls stood still, looking around and shouting.
"Well, we're just passers-by, don't worry." Liu Chang stood outside the fog and replied.
"Gone." After shouting that sentence, Liu Chang patted the little girl's head, ignored the other party's response, pulled her out of here again, and continued to start the hunting journey.
However, the hunt did not go well, and after that, a full three hours passed, and they still found nothing.
In the past three hours, they have encountered humans 17 times, detected 15 creatures with a danger value of 5 or higher, and escaped three large insect colonies, but none of them have encountered the prey they want.
"Alas, it's past noon, and there's still nothing." Sitting on one of the steps of the green belt on the side of the road, leaning against the green belt plants that had already grown to a height of three meters, Liu Chang sighed and rested for a while.
"Tired?" He asked, rubbing the girl's hair.
"Well, but it's going to hold up." The girl nodded, and the scar on her face drew an arc in the air, "After running for so long, is Uncle hungry?" ”
"Haha, don't call me uncle, I'm still young, just a graduate." When Liu Chang heard the girl's words, he laughed out loud: "I don't look old, usually a girl of your age can just call me brother." As for asking me if I'm hungry, I can tell you responsibly, very hungry! ”
"yes, I'm glad I hid a piece to eat." The girl said, taking out a small half biscuit from her coat pocket: "I just haven't eaten the leftovers, you will have to fight the beast in a while, so eat it to replenish your strength." ”
"Hahaha......" Seeing the small half of the biscuit, Liu Chang laughed again: "Then half a biscuit, you really have a rare piece, don't tell me that you were full at the time, I don't believe you are not hungry, eat it yourself!" ”
"Uh......" Seeing that Liu Chang didn't pick up her biscuits, the little girl was stunned for a moment, showing grievances on her face, but the hand that handed the biscuits stubbornly did not retract.
"Forget it, since it's your kindness, then brother will eat it." Seeing the little girl's expression, Liu Chang laughed out loud for the third time, took the biscuits, and filled them into his mouth.
Then, the hard texture of the compressed biscuits and the oil and gas of the green onion spread in the mouth.
"Oh yes. Mom Xiang, anything you eat when you're hungry is delicious, thank you! After eating the biscuits and drinking a sip of water, Liu Chang stood up again: "Let's go, eat a biscuit from you now, and compensate you a big piece of meat at night!" ”
"Hmm." Hearing Liu Chang's words, the girl nodded vigorously, with a smile on her face.
The two set out on a journey again......
After the afternoon, perhaps because of the biscuits, their luck suddenly improved.
The two of them only turned around for ten minutes this time, and after a wave of humans, they found the target they wanted - a wild dog.
This wild dog is a large single dog, although there is a slight abnormality in the body due to the red mist, but it is not too strong.
The danger number given by the little girl is "1.5", that is, the dog's physical fitness is not much higher than that of an adult man, but due to the natural habit of dogs, it is also much more difficult to deal with than ordinary humans.
Therefore, after Liu Chang saw it, he hurriedly squatted down gently, and he didn't even dare to say anything - he knew how sensitive the canine's sense of hearing was.
In the grass, Liu Chang pressed down with his palm, signaling the little girl to stay aside, and then held his breath, using the cover of the grass, and slowly approached the large dog.
But it backfired, although he was extremely cautious, but the soles of his shoes pressed down on the grassroots, and there was still a slight "creak" sound.
Then, the large dog was alarmed.
Its sensitive sense of hearing immediately told it the direction where Liu Chang was, and a pair of crimson eyes followed the direction from which the sound came, and accurately found Liu Chang, who had approached it to within three meters.
"Woo~~~!"
Seeing the stranger approaching, the dog's face crumpled together, baring its fangs, and its throat swelled, emitting a threatening sound peculiar to dogs.
However, the current Liu Chang is no longer the one he was when the end of the world just came a few days ago, as a rare mutant among human beings, although his physical fitness has not been improved by leaps and bounds, it is not something that this little dog can be scared of.
Clenching the scalpel in his hand, Liu Chang stood in place and confronted the dog - he didn't want to be the first to strike. Because he knows that according to the animal's surname, and the human posture, it is difficult to take the lead to achieve the expected results.
People are taller than dogs, and dogs are more sensitive on all fours, if he wants to attack first, he has to complete a series of actions such as squatting, bending, sprinting, swinging knives, etc., and bending down to attack downwards will make people's body balance worse, and it is difficult to continue to attack if a blow fails.
Rather than this, it is better to wait for the opponent to pounce first. Pounce - according to the natural name of mammals, the predatory instinct from mammals causes them to think of suffocating the enemy first when they face the enemy - or rather, they do not think of attacking the enemy's neck, but instinctively drives them to do so.
Liu Chang believes in animal instincts.
So
He's waiting!!
