When darkness once again enveloped the wilderness, Zhou Qi opened his eyes in a deep sleep.

He stood up, looked around, and found himself in a strange stone room. "What the hell is this place?" Zhou Qi muttered to himself a little dazedly, "Damn, I knew I wouldn't have entered this broken cave, and I somehow fainted all of a sudden, but fortunately, the lightning leopard didn't chase in." ”

Zhou Qi only remembered that he had just met a lightning leopard on the wasteland, and ran in in a panic.

Taking advantage of the faint light around the stone room, he carefully looked around, the walls were embedded with dense pale green ores, and the faint green glow they emitted made the stone room barely visible.

Zhou Qi took out the ore pickaxe from his backpack, knocked off a piece of green ore, and found that the ore shell was soft and tough, and the liquid flow was faintly visible inside, and it was actually hollow, he tried to break the ore, but with a hard chisel, the ore was still intact.

"What is this thing? I've never seen it at all, is this really a wilderness? Such a thought popped up in Zhou Qi's mind.

As a pseudo-archaeologist, Zhou Qi is well-informed and has read countless mines, but he has never heard of this strange ore. He continued to knock down another piece of ore, and he made a slight comparison, except for the size.

Zhou Qi turned on the flashlight he carried with him to completely illuminate the entire stone room, and he was surprised to find that there was a one-man high silver cross standing in the center of the stone room.

"Classical texts from the last era? Tsk, I don't know what it means. This cross looks like it is pure silver, but unfortunately it is too big to move, but this stone looks quite valuable. ”

Zhou Qi carefully looked at the gem hanging in the middle of the cross, the turquoise gem shining faintly.

"It's like it was dug out of someone's eye socket." Suddenly thinking of this for no reason, Zhou Qi subconsciously shuddered, and quickly moved this ridiculous thought out of his mind.

Zhou Qi tried to take the gem off, but as soon as his hand touched the gem, it seemed to come to life, burrowing into his body from Zhou Qi's fingers, and for a moment he was in a trance and fell to the ground.

"I'm so hungry, damn it, how can I be so hungry, damn it, damn it." Zhou Qi muttered inexplicable words, and the sudden inexplicable hunger made him close to madness, which came from the most primitive thirst in his heart, the thirst for flesh and blood, for food, for all pleasant things.

Zhou Qi spasmed silently on the ground, he had lost consciousness, and only his body was left instinctively looking for everything that could be eaten.

Until his body squirmed to the strange ore that had just been knocked down, the ore that exuded a green glow exuded infinite attraction at this moment, and instinctively drove him to put the ore in his hand into his mouth.

"Click! Click! Zhou Qi's mouth made a chewing sound, and the tough ore was easily bitten. Gurgling...... "He swallowed violently, and a cool liquid flowed into his stomach along with the ore fragments, salty and fishy, with a faint smell of rust.

The peculiar taste brought him back to his senses, and he looked at the other piece of ore in his hand that had been bitten open, and the red liquid slowly flowed out, I don't know how long it had been stored, but it remained in its original state. There is no doubt that this is unknown blood.

Zhou Qi kept chewing the ore in his mouth, he didn't know why he did it, but the hunger in his body kept devouring him, no matter what it was, he couldn't resist this temptation, and it wasn't until the second ore was swallowed by him that he completely regained control of his body.

Great fear enveloped him in an instant, and the encounter in just a few minutes was far beyond his cognition, and without further careful investigation, Zhou Qi ran directly out of the cave.

In the wilderness of autumn nights, only faint insect chirping can be heard, and since the humans retreated to the fortress city, the wilderness has once again returned to the jungle age, and the hunters and the hunted are hidden in the shadows. Here, only the strong can survive, and the weak eat the strong.

As a fairly seasoned scavenger, Zhou Qi is well aware of the many dangers of the wilderness at night, but the unknown is obviously more frightening, the strange stone chamber is undoubtedly not suitable for the night, so he is not too far away from the city, and he is barely in the safe zone, as long as he finds a place to rest nearby and lasts until dawn.

Zhou Qi was observing the situation around him, while looking for a suitable place to spend the night, suddenly, an inexplicable fear made him stop, and the next moment, a lightning-like light and shadow rushed in front of him. Lightning Leopard! Zhou Qi's excellent knowledge reserve made him recognize the monster in front of him at once, a mutant cheetah that can reach hundreds of meters per second in an instant, if he hadn't braked in time, he would have been a dead soul under his claws at this moment. This beast has been waiting for himself to come out!

Theoretically, this extremely dangerous creature has become extinct in the safety zone of two hundred kilometers around the city, but he is in the water today, and he can only fight to the death when he encounters this mutant beast.

The faint moonlight was scattered on the wilderness, and Zhou Qi couldn't see the appearance of the beast clearly, only the pair of indifferent eyes, shining with a faint light. The lightning leopard opened its mouth slightly, and the smelly saliva spilled from the corners of its mouth, and it pressed its two paws on the ground, and swooped upward, falling from the air. Although Zhou Qi was afraid in his heart, at this time, he had no way out.

It was too late, it was fast, Zhou Qi saw the lightning leopard pounce, only a flash, the leopard rushed straight up, and suddenly stopped, perfectly combining movement and stillness. It's just that the lightning leopard failed to turn around, and it was very difficult to see people behind him, so he put his front paws on the ground, lifted his waist and crotch, and lifted it up. Zhou Qi jumped with all his strength and hid to the side. The lightning leopard saw that it was fruitless, and roared, this sound shook Zhou Qi's eyes, and the ground shook the ground, and the leopard's tail was like a long stick, upside down and slammed, this slash was faster than lightning, but the head was slightly insufficient, only to hear a stab, Zhou Qi's left sleeve shirt was immediately torn, and a blood mark appeared. Simply, the lightning leopard is still a leopard, and when hunting, it only relies on this pounce, a lift, a pick; I can't take it in three ways, and half of my strength is gone.

Seeing that he had never taken this hand, the lightning leopard roared again, and he was about to come back. Zhou Qi saw that the lightning leopard turned over and came back, and with both hands he picked up the folding stick he was carrying, he used all his strength to slash it down from mid-air. I only heard a sound, and I struck down the branches and leaves of the tree on one side. When I looked closely, I missed my hand this time, it turned out that I was in a hurry, the lightning leopard was too fast, and it was hitting the dead tree, and the folding stick was broken into two, and only half of it was in my hand. The lightning leopard roared again, and the sex was raised, and it turned over and pounced again.

Zhou Qi jumped backwards, but he retreated ten steps and almost fell. But the leopard happened to have two front paws in front of him. Zhou Qi threw the half-cut stick aside, grabbed the lightning leopard's neck with both hands, and pressed its head to the ground. The lightning leopard was anxious to struggle, and was pressed tightly by Zhou Qi with all his strength, and he was willing to let go of it a little. Zhou Qi put his foot on the door of the lightning leopard's face, and kicked in his eyes. The lightning leopard roared again, picking up two piles of dirt from under him, as if he had built a new grave for himself.

Zhou Qi pressed the lightning leopard's mouth straight into the mud pit, but this was a leopard, and he didn't have much strength to toss like this. Zhou Qi was ruthless in his heart, pressed his left hand tightly on the leopard's head, pulled out his right hand, raised his fist, and used all his life strength to fight. Thirty or fifty punches, Zhou Qi only felt like he was out of strength, as if he was in a mysterious cave half a day ago, and then looked at the lightning leopard, blood burst out of his eyes, mouth, nose, and ears. The faint smell of blood aroused the hunger in his heart again, and Zhou Qi's head slowly poked towards the blood on the lightning leopard's body.

When dawn came again, Zhou Qi got up from the wilderness in a daze, yesterday's memory was already a little blurred, only a blood-colored flower inexplicably appeared in the field of vision of his left eye and the corpse of the lightning leopard that was already cold and stiff beside him, showing the truth of his crazy memory.
