Arrive at the surface from the underground garage and observe.
After confirming that there was no threat within his field of vision, Wang Qi stared at a nearby corner and raised his hand to test the wind.
There is almost no wind, but now that it is sandwiched between two buildings, the accuracy is limited.
The wind he measured on the top floor before going downstairs was around two levels.
There is no wind on the ground, so you need to be more careful when moving to avoid making noise.
Hold the steel bar slightly and go west.
There is a back door on the west side of the compound, a double wrought iron gate without a security booth, with a total width of less than three meters. In order to prevent it from making noise when swinging, the survivors of the previous generation simply removed it and placed it against the wall.
Wang Qi was about five steps away from the back door, moving slowly left and right to observe the situation outside, and waiting for possible reptile monsters to attack.
After a few minutes, he suddenly took a step forward and ran through the door at half speed.
-_-b
There is a reptile about forty meters away to the south, right in the center of the street opposite the safe house building.
This distance is too far for the reptile, and neither jumping nor crawling can get close quickly.
When Wang Qi took in the surrounding situation, the reptile turned around.
I was a little nervous and forced myself to think calmly.
Make sure there are no extra crawlers on the wall facing the alley, back up slightly and keep your back close to the wall.
Raise the steel bars with both hands vertically to deal with dangers that may pop up above your head at any time.
Side step to move north.
The crawlers move too.
When the distance is far away, the threat of reptiles is limited, they cannot crawl very fast, and they will not even blow the whistle to shake the insects before confirming that the target is prey... This latter point cannot be 100% confirmed because there are not enough bugs seen. In short, just keep your distance and don't move south. correct.
Wang Qi's current hunting experience and physical attributes allowed him to be more than 90% sure of killing the reptiles in frontal combat without any damage, but for the safety of the base, this was not a good place to do it.
The further you move, the greater the chance of being flanked by additional reptilian scouts, but it is better than a large group rushing into the building.
He didn't deliberately seek death. If he was really caught between two people, he had several backup plans.
Not far after moving sideways, the corner at the end of the compound wall was already in front of him.
Corner, synonymous with danger.
Another look at the approaching reptile.
I can only run.
I was on guard once, but there was no crawler jumping out from behind the corner.
There may be danger at every corner, and physical fitness is precious. After running only twenty meters, he stopped with his back against the street wall of a seven-story residential building.
The stopping points were all predetermined. There was a car accident scene a few meters north of this location. A car driving out of the gap between the two buildings got stuck with a car in the alley.
There seemed to be a fire during the car accident, resulting in both cars now having only their frames. After a long time, the frames were covered with vines. Like the ones upstairs, they have withered this season.
Wang Qi is not a professional athlete, and the terrain at the scene of the accident is not favorable, but the space in the frame can at least reduce the possibility of fatal puncture injuries.
The reptile from the south jumped into the yard of the safe house building out of some unknown judgment.
Wang Qi didn't move in a hurry. He paid attention to the environment to the north. After basically confirming that there were no more bugs ahead, he moved slowly.
He silently bypassed the scene of the car accident and stopped at the wall of a residential building to the west of the alley farther north.
This point has a better viewing angle. While staring at the reptile in the south, if something comes from the north, you can also see it with your peripheral vision.
Still not far enough from the safe house building, stop and wait for the crawler and look ahead.
Both sides competed for patience.
The reptile seemed to have the ability to confirm his approximate location from behind the wall. It took a full five minutes before it poked its head out of the wall, but did not jump out directly.
The behavior is a bit strange.
Are you waiting for him to die? Or is it unable to confirm whether a humanoid object is a threat?
The distance between the two sides means that the reptile needs to jump twice in a row to make contact.
Regardless of jumping up, falling can only rely on gravity, time cannot be shortened, and double jumping will not pose an actual threat.
Wang Qi didn't want to waste too much time staring at each other with it, so he squatted and picked up two stones... cement blocks from the broken road surface.
Continue moving north.
As soon as he started to move, the reptile also started to move.
It did not use a long jump and fell gently from the wall.
...more like stalking.
He had deliberately tempted a reptile to climb a building, but he had never seen a reptile stalking its prey on the road.
It took half an hour for one person and one insect to reach the end of the alley.
This location is almost on the same line as the previous hunting point two days ago, with a distance of more than 300 meters from east to west.
Looking at the reptile still hanging thirty meters away behind him, Wang Qi did not move further north and went directly into the hole in the building with a broken unit door next to it.
There was no rush to climb the stairs. Anyway, the reptile could barely keep an eye on him while climbing the stairs.
The body structure of a reptile is not suitable for climbing stairs. It rarely reaches the third floor by moving independently. It is different if someone seduces it. The reptile did the same way to the third floor two days ago.
The time was wrong today, and he also wanted to look for something to the north. In order to prevent the reptile corpse from bringing more risks, he had to lure it higher.
This reptilian scout is very cautious, or rather timid.
After passing the third floor, there seems to be a retreat.
From previous experience, I feel that reptiles have little intelligence. Could it be that the one in front of me has been injured after falling downstairs from a high place?
This thing weighs fifty or sixty pounds, which is not an insect weighing just a few grams. Falling from a high altitude is generally a high-risk situation for them.
The progress was very slow. Occasionally, I had to take out a stone and knock it, so that the insect would continue to climb the stairs. After a lot of trouble, I finally got it to the sixth floor.
There was another floor upstairs. Wang Qi took a look in advance and found that the four doors in the corridor were all closed. He was not sure they could be opened, so he could only solve it on the sixth floor.
Push open the ajar door facing the corridor.
There was a clicking sound from behind the door.
He glanced around the room, turned sideways, and saw the human bone fragments behind the door. It was the same thing that made the sound on the floor just now.
Not having time to care about human bones, he took a few steps quickly and turned around to lean against the TV wall.
When he turned around, the reptile had already appeared at the door, most likely stimulated by the sound of bones scraping the floor.
"Come for a duel." Wang Qi said while squatting.
He has some knowledge of the sound conduction of buildings. On the sixth floor, ordinary speech cannot reach the first floor.
Stimulated by the human voice, the bug barely hesitated and jumped on the door frame to swoop over.
Secret skill: Lazy donkey rolling!
Low-frequency sounds that can penetrate concrete are very dangerous, and the skills that can be practiced in a safe house are limited. When practicing rolling on a lazy donkey, there will be no sound with two layers of thick cloth.
He turned over quickly, and when he stopped rolling and raised his head, he was kneeling on one foot, facing the reptile that had not yet landed.
Without hesitation, the muscles of both legs were used to push the upper body forward. Holding the steel bar with both hands, he thrust it into the side door of the reptile whose forefoot barely touched the ground!
Very lucky today!
The beveled rebar tip drilled directly into the gap between the head and thorax segments, breaking through a layer of not too strong obstacles to pass through the insect.
At this time, Wang Qi stood up completely due to his strength.
Taking advantage of the situation, he stepped on the reptile's torso with a right kick. He pulled out the steel bar and stopped his forward movement, just dodging the tail blade that passed ten centimeters in front of his face.
This set of moves was derived from the blood shed when fighting a reptile for the first time. I was not familiar with the reptile's methods at the time, and because I didn't eat enough, I couldn't fully exert my strength. It was said that I was able to win with a lot of luck.
Move sideways, go behind the reptile, take out a hunting knife and cut off the "whistle" at the end of the scout's middle tail.
Without further attack, he immediately retreated to the door and closed the door.
The reptile wanted to move, but the blow just now seemed to have seriously damaged the main conductive nerve. Most of its body was no longer in control, and only its two legs were trying to turn the body.
"Huhu." He breathed a little relieved.
Wang Qi realized early on that attacking the gaps between the head and chest segments would be more effective. However, it was a bit difficult to accurately hit a slightly overlapping gap in the carapace during dynamic movements. Today, he still paralyzed the reptile with one hit for the first time. , usually you can only cut the whistle and enter the round battle to look for opportunities.
After waiting for two minutes, the reptile was still struggling, and a large pool of green juice spurted out from the gap.
He took out the stone he picked up earlier from his pocket, got a little closer, and threw the bug three steps away.
hit.
The insect's legs moved reflexively, but there was no bigger movement, so there was no possibility of self-healing.
The stone was originally intended to create opportunities for attack and escape when encountering two insects, but it was no longer useful now.
Ignoring it for now, I stood up and took a quick look around each room.
No traces of post-disaster life were found, and most of the houses had been ransacked.
! ! !
There are actually a few books on the bookshelf.
Books are what he is looking for.
When paper is stored in the form of a book, it will not be completely damaged for hundreds of years. The problem is that as a good kindling material, survivors after disasters like to burn books! Even if the first generation is not burned, there will still be the second and third generations taking turns.
I don't know how many years have passed, but Wang Qi only found one book during his first few outings...a children's book, probably because he was searching in the wrong direction.
It will take a lot of time to open the book later, but I won't wait until the reptile bleeds to death.
Go to the kitchen and use the fallen refrigerator door as a shield to get closer to the bugs.
When it's close enough, put the refrigerator door on the ground, and use the steel bars to support the refrigerator door to free your hands.
Holding the scissors in your right hand and the hunting knife in your left hand, go around and cut off its tail blade.
The tail is harder than a whistle, and it is difficult to cut it off with a hunting knife. When it is completely motionless, it can be cut off by two sharp jabs with the scissors.
The other one moved, but it couldn't control it and could only tremble randomly.
When it calmed down, Wang Qi went to sneak attack on the remaining one.
Dangerous weapons capable of attacking the rear are disarmed and the refrigerator door can be decommissioned.
Step on the reptile's back.
The reptile also has a pair of scythe hunting legs, but unfortunately these legs can only attack the front, and their structure does not allow it to attack the top of the chest in turn.
He directly twisted a bouncing foot with both hands and exerted force.
Not only the legs, but also a piece of meat from the abdominal cavity was brought out.
A few legs moved reflexively, and the force was a little stronger, but they didn't break free. I took the opportunity to pull off the other hind leg.
The rear action ability is completely released, and the next step is a restricted screen.
Pick up the steel bar and pierce it from the back and upper part of the abdomen to the head, and stir it up.
Go into the back room and take out the bedding and sheets.
After extracting the fat mass, the body was covered with a quilt, and the loot was pierced with wires and then wrapped in a sheet.
The smell on the sixth floor is not a big problem, but be careful.
