Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free
Chapter 500 Can’t Stay
It was hard to tell whether the black object was a human or a monster. It had a ferocious face like a wolf, but it walked upright. The most incredible thing was that this monster did not have any hair, or even skin. Although it was completely black, the blood vessels under the muscles could be clearly seen.
"What is this?" Xiao Chen said in horror, and immediately stood up from a distance of more than 20 meters. When he saw the appearance of the monster, he took a big step back in fear.
At this time, other people in the Sailing Guild also saw that the thing was tearing the arm of one of them. The monster had limbs like humans, and was about two meters tall. Its palms were very large, and its arms were at least one meter seventy-eight long. The most important thing was that the nails extending from the palms were seven or eight centimeters long. They were very sharp and could easily penetrate a psychic's chest in one go. Tearing off a person's arm was as easy as tearing paper.
However, within a minute or two, the monster had slaughtered nearly three or four C-level hunters, and the monster's purpose seemed very clear. It did not seem that it encountered their group by chance, but rather it seemed like it was carrying out a planned hunting operation.
Xu Hang frowned, and suddenly asked in surprise: "Demon species?"
The demon species is no longer a strange species in the hunter circle, but this monster seems to exist more like a legend. Even the base has not officially released its specific information, and even the physical characteristics of this monster have always been highly confidential. The name first came out from a hunter who lived in an extremely cold northern city.
This species is said to prefer dark, cold polar regions, and it loves hunting the most. Once it identifies its prey, it will never let it go easily, and it loves the smell of blood the most. Hunter circles in the north have tried to release the blood of cows and pigs to attract this type of monster, but unfortunately, the number of demons that can be caught alive is very small.
There are three types of people who become hunters. The first type has to step into the field of hunters for a living, but in fact they prefer to live in a stable world, and become hunters just to pursue a better life; the other type is those who are born to pursue excitement and have a strong spirit of adventure, and may even think about becoming a super hero who will be remembered forever. By becoming a hunter, they may gain fame and fortune, and also gain the attention of the world; the third type of people who want to become hunters are rebellious in their bones, they are born to pursue excitement, and they prefer adventure, and enjoy the thrilling feeling every time they hunt mutant beasts. Such people can easily go to extremes. In their eyes, all mutant beasts are just a fun thing in their hunting game. For hunters who cannot kill people, killing mutant beasts may also satisfy their abnormal psychology.
Xu Hang and other hunters are between the first and second types. Some simply want to live a good life, while others dream of climbing to the top hunter position one day. Therefore, the "demon species" is seen as an opportunity for all hunters to become famous, but it is also a terrifying creature that everyone fears deeply, because it is said that encountering a "demon species" means that they have become the prey of that monster.
"Demon species? Isn't that thing in the north? How come it appears in the big forest in the north?" Lao Bi forced himself to stand up. His already pale face looked even uglier than a dead person because of the shock.
After hearing this name, the expressions of the others changed suddenly. Some people wanted to raise their objections, but they heard screams coming from the other side.
At this time, the team leader of the Red Flag Guild had organized a group of high-level hunters to deal with the demon. About five or six A-level hunters attacked the demon at the same time. Although the demon was powerful, it could not withstand the attacks of so many high-level hunters at once, so it had to retreat and howl.
"It looks like the people from the Red Flag Guild have already suppressed the monster. Should we go up and help now?" The people from the Far-Front Guild asked as they saw that the situation on the other side was already overwhelming.
"Isn't it said that demons are very powerful? It is said that it takes several A-level psychics to fight one demon at the same time, and some demons even have S-level abilities. But now it seems that they are a bit exaggerated? Although the people in the Red Flag Guild relied on nutrient solution to break through to A-level abilities, they are all experienced veterans. It doesn't seem that they are having too much trouble dealing with this demon."
"Yeah, this shouldn't be a demon species. After all, the demon species has not been made public yet. Xu Hang, are you sure the one in front of you is real?" Xiao Chen asked half-jokingly.
Xu Hang shook his head at first, but then nodded with a firm look: "I'm not too sure, but... I've heard rumors about demons. Demons move in groups, and usually there are at least three to five of them moving together."
"Oh, that's right. This means that the monster opposite us might be... uh, maybe a wolf or ape mutant, but definitely not a demon."
Xu Hang didn't know why he felt a strange shudder, an unprecedented fear swept through his body, and he immediately picked up his backpack, turned around and said to everyone: "Let's leave now."
"Now? Didn't you say we should tell the people from the Red Flag Guild?" Xiao Chen originally thought that they should at least inform the people from the Red Flag Guild first, otherwise it would become awkward when they meet again after everyone gets out alive. However, he didn't expect Xu Hang to ask them to leave now.
Xu Hang just frowned, watching the captain of the Red Flag Guild not far away dodge the attack of the demon species and then push his companions from the same guild over, and shouted loudly: "Hurry up, you have fire ability, set fire quickly!"
The companion was pushed to the front and was nearly caught by the sharp claws of the demon. If he had not released his supernatural power in time, he would have been torn in half by now.
This is why Xu Hang insisted on separating from the Red Flag Guild. The captain of the Red Flag Guild seemed responsible and generous, but in fact, he would sacrifice others or even his own companions in times of crisis. If he continued to follow the Red Flag Guild and obey his command, it would probably further lead the Far Sailing Guild to destruction.
"Listen to Xu Hang, let's go quickly!" Lao Bi was also an insightful person. In fact, he also noticed the character of the Red Flag Guild captain, but because of the unity and harmony of the large army, he couldn't say many things to his face. But now seeing Xu Hang's resolute attitude, he guessed that he should have seen the other party's true face.
The people of the Sailing Guild have always been united, and now everyone is on the same boat. Xu Hang and Lao Bi have already decided to leave, and they will not stay here any longer, so they picked up their backpacks and ran in another direction.
There were still about sixty people left in the Red Flag Guild and other guilds. Except for the few people with special abilities who had died accidentally before, the rest of the people quickly subdued the demons.
The Far-Flying Guild ran for about half an hour before they finally stopped. Xu Hang calculated that they were at least two kilometers away from where they had just been before he let everyone stop and rest for a few minutes.
Several people were panting and their feet were even shaking, especially the injured ones who felt like they were almost unable to breathe.
Especially Xiao Chen just now discovered that he had a cut of about ten centimeters on his buttocks at some point, and it was bleeding profusely.
If the buddy next to him hadn't told him, he would never have discovered this problem.
I didn't feel much pain when I didn't know I was injured, but once I knew it, I instantly felt the pain spreading through every part of my body.
"Oh my god, it hurts so much. Can someone help me see if my back is still bleeding? Am I going to die here?" Xiao Chen cried out in tears, then grimaced in pain.
A buddy nearby couldn't stand it anymore and said angrily, "I see you're not dead yet. I'm annoyed by your voice. Do you think we're not tired enough? Do you have to shout and attract all the mutant beasts nearby?"
Lao Bi glanced at the bloody bandages on his chest and abdomen and joked, "Xiao Chen, there are quite a few mutant beasts here. Don't let the mutant lizards swallow you up."
"Fuck, can you guys have some conscience? The wound is not on you, but you two are just standing there talking. Don't you feel any pain in your back?" Xiao Chen stared, then turned his head to look at Xu Hang who was drinking water in front of him: "Xu Hang, do we still need to continue on our journey? I am in so much pain that I can't walk anymore. I need to rest for a while."
Xu Hang glanced around. There were bushes half a meter high all around here. He didn't see any excrement of the mutant beast when he passed by just now. In addition, they had been jogging for more than half an hour and had walked at least three or four kilometers away. There was no need to worry about that thing catching up soon. Moreover, the fragrance here was obviously much lighter.
"Rest here for twenty minutes and make some adjustments. We'll continue on our way and set up camp five kilometers ahead."
Xu Hang wanted to get out of this strange place at least before dusk. If he continued walking a few kilometers forward, he would reach the border between the danger zone and the safe zone. At least the chance of encountering advanced mutant beasts there would be reduced.
But there is little hope of getting out before dark, and even if we want to spend the night, we cannot stay in this place.
"What a damn place! If I had known this, I would not have participated in this mission. Who knew I would be so unlucky?"
"Alright, Xiao Chen, this is the nth time you've complained. Since you're here, it's destined. I think we're lucky enough to have escaped danger several times. I also think Xu Hang's decision is right. The captain of the Red Flag Guild seems very reliable at first glance, but his strategy for each battle is reckless attack, and he doesn't take human life seriously at all. What we're facing now is a demon species, and even an A-level hunter, let alone an S-level hunter, may not dare to provoke it easily.
"By the way, the ones who are most seriously injured are Lao Bi and Lao Liao, right? Can you still continue on your journey? If not, I will take turns carrying you, so that your injuries will not be aggravated by the haste of traveling."
"I'm fine. I can still hold on for a while." Lao Bi opened a bottle of energy liquid and drank it.
Xu Hang nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Another thing is that we don't have much medicine on hand right now, so we should give priority to those with serious injuries."
"We only have four bottles of energy liquid left, and two bottles of disinfectant left. If you feel uncomfortable, please tell us immediately. The outdoor environment is harsh, and even a headache or fever may cause various adverse reactions. So everyone should pay more attention to their health and tell us immediately if there is any problem. In addition, our guild members are all here now. With concerted efforts, we may be able to get out of this place. Don't be too negative."
Lao Bi thought more comprehensively and was more worried about everyone's mental state. Physical injuries could be healed, but if one was mentally traumatized and lost the will to survive, the continued depression would inevitably affect others, so he tried his best to prepare everyone mentally.
Xiao Chen immediately took over the conversation: "Yes, I believe my luck is not that bad. I survived the extreme cold weather in the past two years. At that time, I only had one piece of clothing on me and was covered with a blanket. Even under those circumstances, God didn't take my life away. I don't believe I won't survive this time."
After a slight adjustment, the group continued to move forward. After about two hours of walking, the temperature in the forest dropped sharply, and it was only two or three degrees when the sun went down. Excessive hunger and fatigue made the body prone to hypothermia. Everyone wrapped their coats as tightly as possible. When they walked to the back, they found that two of the more seriously injured people were so tired that their lips turned white.
Xu Hang finally chose a relatively open place as their overnight camp. There was a stream about a hundred meters away, which could be reached in seven or eight minutes on foot, but they still filled all the water storage containers they had in advance.
When it gets dark, everyone takes out the compressed biscuits, crushes them in aluminum cups, adds some water and some edible leaves they dug up, and makes a porridge that can easily fill the stomach.
When Xu Hang was counting the supplies at night, he discovered that all the food combined could only last for one more day at most. They had to leave the forest before tomorrow afternoon. Otherwise, even if they were not bitten to death by the mutant beasts, they would sooner or later starve to death in this hellhole.
That night, of the eight people, except for Lao Liao and Lao Bi who were seriously injured, the remaining six were divided into three time periods, two people in a group. Each group took turns on duty for three hours, from 9pm to 6am the next day. They set off at 6:30 and continued to move eastward.
Early in the morning at six o'clock, Xu Hang gave each person half a chocolate bar. This was their breakfast for the day. They would not have any food until at least noon.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, the members of the Sailing Guild finally saw hope.
