"Muzzy..."
The sound of heavy breathing was getting closer and closer, and Chen Xing could already see the white teeth of the corpse dog, as well as the saliva sticking to them, reflecting the sunlight.
Over the long years, although Chen Xing learned a lot of fighting skills, after his rebirth, his physical fitness dropped significantly and most of the skills were no longer useful. All that was left was experience. For example, he now has a thick strip of cloth wrapped around his left hand. This was made with the few clothes he had, just to cope with this situation.
The corpse dog is fast, and he only has one pistol, so close combat is inevitable. Moreover, after rebirth, he could not use any fighting skills that could be used in close combat. Furthermore, he has not awakened spiritual power before, so he cannot use powerful combat skills, and he does not have a shield to condense spiritual energy. He will only choose close combat when he has no choice.
It can almost be said that as long as you get into melee combat, you will lose half your life. Fortunately, corpse dogs are only the lowest predators in the wilderness food chain. He is a veteran warrior who has been born in three generations and can be considered a grandfather in his cumulative age. If he can't deal with a corpse-eating dog, he will really be shameless in front of others.
In the blink of an eye, the corpse dog ran under the stone, kicked off its hind legs, raised a cloud of flying sand, opened its mouth full of fangs, and rushed towards Chen Xing.
I saw the latter swinging his left hand horizontally, bending his body and arms, and sent it forward. The corpse dog relied on instinct. When it saw something blocking its sight, it immediately bit it.
While the corpse dog bit his left arm, Chen Xing thrust his knife-holding right hand forward. The tip of the dagger pierced the corpse dog's heart, and bright red blood spurted out.
The chest was injured, and the corpse dog let out a whimper. Chen Xing immediately kicked it away and pushed it under the stone.
"Woo..."
The corpse dog struggled on the ground, kicking up patches of dust. Just as he crooked his neck to get up, there was a flash of fire above his head.
"Bang!"
The head of the corpse dog exploded in response, and red and white liquid sprayed all over the floor.
Green smoke came out of the black hole of the gun. Chen Xing blew in, closed the safety catch, and put it back on the armed belt on his back.
He raised his hand and looked at the black watch. A set of data scrolling upward appeared on the screen.

[End of battle]
[Battle result statistics: Corpse Dog (Normal)*2]
[Market price estimate: 6~7 silver coins (Orchid Town), 7~8 silver coins (Dragonstone Town)]
Seeing the statistical results, Chen Xing breathed out a heavy breath and felt that the road ahead was long and arduous.
There is no other reason than that it is too difficult to make money and things are too expensive.
The market price of a Black Star pistol bullet ranges from 8 coppers to 1 silver, and it took three bullets to kill the two corpse dogs. After subtracting, the profit was less than 3 silver coins. A primary evolution potion costs nearly 50 gold coins. In other words, at least three hundred corpse dogs must be killed, which is really fatal.
Also, his current first goal is not to buy an evolution potion, but to buy a two-wheeled motorcycle.
In the wilderness, walking is too inefficient, and if an emergency occurs, you may not be able to escape. Also, at night, you can't see clearly what's going on around you, so you can easily be ambushed. So he had to get back to town before dark.
Therefore, locomotives are particularly important. The cheapest second-hand Great Wall cavalry, the market price is about 15 gold coins.
With a car, you can go deeper into the wilderness. If you encounter trouble, you can still escape by twisting the accelerator. The most troublesome things in the wilderness are wolves and refugees. Of course, there are other more powerful existences, such as wilderness pythons, thunder-horned rhinos, scaleless flying dragons, giant living corpses, Dead Sea vultures, man-eating sparrows, cemetery army ants, sand sea storm insects...
However, these things generally only appear in places far away from human control areas. Those near the town were all killed by the local guardians.
Chen Xing took out a fiber net from his backpack, put the corpse of the corpse in it, and then dragged it away.
It's so painful not having a car. If you kill five or six, you have to go back, otherwise you won't be able to move more. Thinking about it, we should drag a pallet truck out, otherwise the efficiency will be too low. In fact, the main purpose of his coming out today was to give it a try, and he did not intend to hunt on a large scale.
A few minutes later, he rounded a large mound and came to a wasteland. The soil here is gray-black, which is not common in the red soil continent.
"Huh?"
He muttered in his heart, remembering that he didn't seem to have passed by here when he came. He raised his hand, pulled up the compass on the black watch, and looked at it. The direction should be correct. It was still about three to four kilometers away from Orchid Town.
He frowned and thought for a while. Since too much time had passed, he seemed to have no impression, so he continued walking forward.
But as I walked, the ground around me suddenly started to move, as if something was coming out from under the soil.
Usually when this happens, the rookie will first look at the black watch to determine what it is. Those with a little experience will take out their weapons and wait and see carefully, while those with experience like Chen Xing will definitely drop their things immediately and run wildly.
Now he has no team and is alone, making it difficult to deal with any situation. If there is any situation, just run away and wait until the worst case is clear, then come back and pick it up.
You only have one life, everything else comes second.
According to his past experience, there are about four types of things that will come out of the ground. The most unlucky thing was that he encountered newly hatched cemetery army ants. The winged ones were so overwhelming that they could eat a wilderness yak into a skeleton in an instant, not to mention his small body.
But now that it's summer, the chances are low, and judging by the agitation on the ground, it doesn't look like army ants.
The second unluckiest person was the wild python that had just woken up from hibernation. It could swallow a small truck in one mouthful and moved so fast that even a motorcycle might not be able to escape, not to mention he only had two legs. However, this possibility is very low, after all, wild pythons are not found everywhere. Unless you are so unlucky that you choke to death even when you drink water.
Then there are the sickle beetles and the living dead. The former is more troublesome because the sickle beetles can fly, which is quite deadly. The living dead are the safest for no other reason than they can't run or jump. Their movements are stiff and slow, so they can be easily bypassed.
"Puff puff……"
Chen Xing hadn't run far when there was a sudden movement on the ground, and human hands sprang out, like sea anemones, densely packed with hundreds of them. Despite the horrific sight, he breathed a sigh of relief. They're just the living dead. If you can't beat them, just run away. It won't be a big deal.
The living dead appeared one hundred years after the Cataclysm. When humans dropped nuclear bombs on alien creatures and destroyed them all, 15% of humans died directly, 84.9% of humans died in the subsequent nuclear winter, and only one thousandth of the population went underground Shelter, survive.
During the long nuclear winter, a large number of human corpses were covered in ice and snow without decay. Then, under the influence of radiation, some cold viruses mutated, and something that later generations of scientists called a "living corpse virus" appeared.
They parasitize human corpses and make them "alive". But in fact, it was not a resurrection in the true sense, but a virus that took over and controlled the body and became a completely new species.
The living dead have no connection with the original body. They are low-level carnivores and their IQs are not as high as those of orangutans.
"Gululu..."
As time passed, fifty or sixty living dead covered in mud emerged from the ground. They made vague screams towards Chen Xing, stretched out their arms, and walked slowly.
The person involved was not interested in this, and just wanted to get back the harvest of his trip - the corpses of two corpse dogs. The characteristics of the living dead are rough skin, thick flesh, slow movement, and immense strength. Chen Xing circled around the group of corpses, trying to lure them away so he could drag the corpses away.
In order to avoid special types hidden among them, Chen Xing cautiously scanned them with a black meter.
[Living Dead (Normal)*55]
[Vitality: 15/15]
[Innate ability: bite, huge strength]
[Negative Trait: Slow Action]
[Viruses that may be carried: zombie disease]
[Living Dead (Leader)*1]
[Vitality: 90/90]
[Innate abilities: bite, great strength, poison enhancement, venom spray]
[Negative Trait: Slow Action]
[Viruses that may be carried: zombie disease]
Fortunately, I scanned it, otherwise I would have ended up like my predecessor if I had been sprayed with it.
When the level of the living corpse virus in the body is less than 15%, it will not explode. But once it reaches the peak, the blood pressure will skyrocket, the capillaries will burst, and finally the skin will bleed, turning into a living dead, which is quite scary. .
Forget about the corpses of the two corpse dogs. They only have a few silver coins anyway, so there is no need to risk their lives. He still has four boxes of bullets, so he just needs to shoot again.
But just as he was about to leave, he saw the chest of a living corpse shining brightly. Taking a closer look, it turned out to be a gold necklace!
Chen Xing's footsteps stopped involuntarily. That thing looked quite thick and was worth at least a dozen gold coins.
