Hearing this,
Lin Yuerou glanced at the mutant dog, concern in her eyes.
"Those mutant spiders upstairs are about to come down, and there are mutant dogs blocking the way downstairs.
We..."
"Don't worry,"
Chen Hao said calmly as he disassembled the mutant dog's corpse. "Those mutant dogs aren't very strong. I can handle them."
Lin Yuerou nodded, not saying anything more, adding to Chen Hao's pressure.
However,
she felt somewhat useless, relying on Chen Hao for everything.
"Leave this mutant dog to me. You just do your thing." Lin Yuerou squatted down, offering to disassemble the mutant dog's corpse for him.
Chen Hao didn't waste any words, simply handing her the kitchen knife. Something
had happened .
He also needed to hurry and digest the energy crystals he had just acquired to improve his strength.
In a short while,
Chen Hao consumed the four energy crystals, his stamina and strength increasing again.
Without hesitation, he took out the stink bomb toy gun and began to strengthen himself.
The mutant dog had a keen sense of smell.
The stink bomb toy gun might be effective.
Chen Hao immediately upgraded his Stink Bomb toy gun to level three, increasing its stink bomb ability.
[Stink Bomb Pistol LV.3: 0% (A pistol capable of firing stink bombs, with an effective range of 40 meters and a maximum range of 120 meters.)]
[Ability 1: Stink Bomb (Bullets fired from this gun emit a strong, foul odor that lasts for 40 seconds.)]
He went outside to test it out in the hallway. The Stink Bomb pistol's power was comparable to that
of a regular pistol. However, the pellets it fired emitted a strong, foul odor. Although he immediately held his breath, the stench still caused him to vomit instantly, and the stink brought tears to his eyes.
This wasn't just a simple odor; it could be called a poison gas bomb.
If used against mutant dogs, it would likely be more effective than the powerful Red Dot Pistol.
Seeing the stink bomb's powerful effect, Chen Hao invested some time upgrading his pistol.
At level four,
the Stink Bomb pistol's effective range increased to 80 meters, with a maximum range of 240 meters.
Like the Red Dot Pistol, it also gained a burst fire ability and
could automatically reload.
However, the increased power made it impossible to use BB bullets.
Chen Hao only had a few hundred steel balls on hand, and he had to use them sparingly, not even daring to fire in full-auto mode.
Obtaining bullets
became his top priority.
He had originally planned to head to the hardware store for 6mm steel balls,
but now the mutant dogs were blocking the way downstairs, and there was no telling how much danger lay outside.
After some thought, he
decided to take out a pack of BB bullets and begin enhancing them.
...
As time passed,
Chen Hao enhanced dozens of BB bullets, most of which had useless properties.
For example, the softening property softened the BB bullets to the point of being rubbery.
The armor-piercing property
was completely useless on BB bullets of average hardness.
Fortunately, the hardening property had a high probability of appearing. After enhancing to level three, the hardness was comparable to that of unreinforced steel balls.
At level two,
they could even be used as ammunition for the Stinky Bullet Pistol. However,
enhancing BB bullets was time-consuming and labor-intensive, making it somewhat unprofitable.
After all, there was a minimum amount of energy required to enhance even 6mm BB bullets. He
had to input that much energy just to upgrade the BB bullets to level one,
for their properties to appear.
Compared to fortified steel balls, the physical and mental energy consumption was similar.
It was a complete waste of money.
However, he was short on bullets, so he could only fortify his BBs to alleviate the immediate problem.
Not long after,
the sky darkened.
The screams from the building gradually subsided.
Perhaps the people inside had taken shelter, or perhaps the mutant dogs, now well-fed, had stopped hunting humans.
After finishing his meal, Chen Hao took out the Stink Bomb pistol and placed it on the table. He said to the bewildered Lin Yuerou,
"I've enhanced this pistol. It fires foul-smelling bullets, making it slightly more powerful than a regular pistol.
I promised you a gun before. Your marksmanship has improved significantly these past few days, so you shouldn't have any trouble using it.
It's just that the ammunition supply is limited, so I can only give you a few dozen for now."
He had originally wanted to keep the Stink Bomb pistol for himself, using it dual-wield.
However, the Red Dot Pistol would create a red dot in his sight, significantly affecting his aim.
After careful consideration, he decided to give the Stink Bomb pistol to Lin Yuerou.
Although he didn't completely trust Lin Yuerou, he had gained a lot of trust in her after spending some time with her. He
could be a teammate.
This was also a test for him. He
wanted to see if Lin Yuerou would do anything to his detriment after getting the pistol.
Lin Yuerou looked at the pistol on the table and bit her lip, her eyes filled with excitement and emotion.
She suddenly threw herself into Chen Hao's arms and whispered softly:
"Thank you!"
Chen Hao embraced her, lowering his head to capture her lips.
Lin Yuerou's delicate body trembled, and after a moment's stiffness, it softened. She
began to respond to him.
It wasn't until he began to tear at her clothes that she quickly said, "Not here, let's go to the room, please."
Unable to stop, Chen Hao lifted her up and strode towards the bedroom.
A silent night passed.
...
The next day.
Chen Hao looked at the beautiful woman in his arms, his eyes filled with tenderness.
He hadn't expected that even though Lin Yuerou was already married, she would still be a virgin.
Xu Zhiqiang had pursued Lin Yuerou for four years since college before finally winning her, but on their wedding night, he couldn't get up.
Normally, it was normal.
But at the crucial moment
, he couldn't get up. Chen Hao knew this was the kind of thing that happens when people are overly nervous about their first time.
He just didn't expect it to happen to Xu Zhiqiang.
Before he could get used to it,
the world changed dramatically.
A blood mist descended, monsters appeared in the building, and food and water were scarce.
As a result, Lin Yuerou remained a virgin for more than half a month after their marriage.
Chen Hao looked at Lin Yuerou, who had been tormented by him all night, bent down to kiss her forehead, then stood up and put on his clothes.
While the land of gentleness was pleasant,
one couldn't overindulge.
He was also afraid that if he didn't get up, he'd be tempted to abuse her again.
A young woman, newly married,
couldn't withstand his torment.
Chen Hao spent some time preparing the meal before waking Lin Yuerou up and holding her for dinner.
There was nothing he could do.
He was too strong, and last night, he hadn't restrained himself, torturing her a bit too harshly, leaving her with limited mobility.
Fortunately, he quickly thought of Yunnan Baiyao, which worked wonders.
In less than a minute,
Lin Yuerou's injuries had healed, and she no longer needed to be huddled in his arms.
Chen Hao felt a little premature; the shy Lin Yuerou wouldn't let him hold her any longer.
But since she was his woman, he didn't rush.
"Take out your clothes. I'll get you some protective gear," Chen Hao said, playing with Lin Yuerou's delicate hands.
The two knew each other well, and Lin Yuerou didn't hesitate.
Not long after,
Chen Hao helped Lin Yuerou strengthen a purple dress with the toughness attribute.
He even upgraded it to level four, greatly increasing its defense.
However, the second attribute, cleanliness, only kept clothes clean.
It was useless.
He had originally wanted to strengthen clothing like sweatshirts and jeans, but in the end, only this long-sleeved dress had the toughness attribute.
As the saying goes,
something is better than nothing.
Lin Yuerou was very satisfied with the purple dress. After all, it was a defensive piece of equipment.
And Chen Hao also gave her a pistol, so she was finally not useless anymore.
From now on,
she could help Chen Hao kill enemies!
Chen Hao strengthened various items and exchanged feelings with Lin Yuerou. In a blink of an eye, the two of them stayed at home for another day.
Like the calm before the storm, nothing happened in the building during these two days.
This allowed Chen Hao to enjoy the sweetness of Lin Yuerou's home and strengthen their relationship.
One day,
several mutant dogs arrived outside Chen Hao's house and quickly spotted the two people inside, using their keen sense of smell.
"Woo!"
the mutant dogs called out to their companions.
Several began scratching at the door with their claws and banging their bodies against it.
Without hesitation, Chen Hao fired at the door, his bullets piercing through it and striking one of the mutant dogs.
He fired several times.
The two mutant dogs outside had no time to dodge and were killed instantly.
The other mutant dogs roared in anger.
As more and more mutant dogs gathered outside, the barking crescendoed, and many of them began to attack the door.
Soon,
Chen Hao had shot more than a dozen bullet holes in the door.
He realized that if this continued, it would only be a matter of time before the door was breached.
Chen Hao quickly ordered Lin Yuerou to fire stink bombs at the door.
The foul-smelling pellets shot out through the holes in the door. Although they missed the mutant dogs, the stink bombs, like biological weapons, drove back the mutant dogs blocking the door.
A few shots fired.
The stench outside the door was unbearable, prompting many mutant dogs to quickly leave the sixteenth floor and get out of the stench.
Chen Hao, sensing the stench entering the house, quickly pulled Lin Yuerou away from the door.
The stink bomb was effective.
He felt more confident in their chances of escaping Building One.
However, it was a recipe for disaster.
The mutant dogs couldn't handle it,
and neither could he handle the intense stench.
Chen Hao produced a dozen masks and began enhancing them.
To maximize the effectiveness of the stink bomb gun, he needed to make some preparations, such as enhancing the masks' filtering properties to
block out the odor .
Soon,
Chen Hao had enhanced a mask with purification properties, capable of purifying the air and isolating harmful gases.
After reaching level three,
the stink bomb's stench was completely blocked, leaving no trace
of it. After testing the effectiveness of the purification mask, Chen Hao was delighted.
Everything was ready.
He wanted the mutant dogs to avoid his attack!
Not long after,
Chen Hao packed up his things and left the house with Lin Yuerou.
A foul odor lingered in the hallway, but the two men were wearing decontamination masks,
so they could ignore it.
He had Lin Yuerou fire a stink bomb pistol at the stairwell, clearing the way and preventing any ambushes from the mutant dogs.
Mutant dogs already had a keen sense of smell, enhanced even further by the mutation.
The intense stench of the stink bombs was indistinguishable from that of biological weapons to them—a smell that could kill a dog.
As several stink bombs were fired, the stairwell became unbearably foul.
Seeing no movement in the stairwell, Chen Hao felt relieved and walked with Lin Yuerou.
He reached the stairwell and carefully surveyed it.
Once he was sure it was safe,
he headed downstairs with his gun.
However, just in case, he had Lin Yuerou fire a stink bomb at the fifteenth-floor stairwell,
clearing the way.
It was unclear if it was the stink bomb.
The two men reached the twelfth floor, but saw no mutant dogs.
Just as Chen Hao was about to lead Lin Yuerou downstairs, they heard movement from upstairs: footsteps approaching quickly.
He quickly raised his gun and pointed it at the upstairs, just as the three Evolved beings he'd seen earlier ran down.
He was about to ask them what happened upstairs,
but they ignored him and sprinted past him, completely oblivious to the gun in his hand.
Before he could react,
a dense swarm of mutant spiders emerged from the stairs, surging down like a tide, sending a shiver through his veins.
At that moment,
he finally understood why the three had fled.
Without hesitation, Chen Hao dragged Lin Yuerou along with him and ran, not forgetting to change his magazine and fire an explosive grenade at the mutant spiders.
Boom!
The explosion ripped
a hole through the swarm of mutant spiders. However
, the sheer number of mutant spiders meant this small loss was of little consequence.
Chen Hao, carrying Lin Yuerou, sprinted downstairs, the mutant spiders hot on their heels.
Countless spiders, as big as washbasins, were chasing them, and the prospect of being caught up was dangerous, so he didn't dare slow down.
He fired several rounds of explosive grenade, sending a series of explosions ringing out.
The mutant spiders were blasted to pieces, their flesh and blood flying everywhere, finally allowing him to put some distance between himself and the swarm.
Lin Yuerou, realizing the dire situation, gritted her teeth and ran at full speed,
following closely behind him.
With their desperate escape, they soon reached the first floor.
Seeing that the three people who had just run ahead of them hadn't left, Chen Hao couldn't help but look outside.
He saw a dozen mutant dogs outside, glaring at them with undisguised malice.
There were wolves in front and tigers behind.
Seeing the mutant spiders chasing them, Chen Hao quickly instructed Lin Yuerou to fire stink bombs at the mutant dogs outside.
Then,
without hesitation, he pulled Lin Yuerou out of Building One, dodging the swarm of mutant spiders behind them.
The other three followed suit, following them out of the building.
Thanks to the powerful stink bombs, the overwhelming stench outside made the three Evolvers hold their breath.
The mutant dogs, in agony, ran away, out of the stench.
This prevented Chen Hao and the others from being trapped and facing an onslaught from the mutant dogs and spiders.
Chen Hao, pulling Lin Yuerou, plunged headfirst into the blood mist,
escaping at a rapid pace.
Fortunately, the blood mist outside had thinned slightly compared to a few days ago, allowing visibility to drop to over ten meters.
While it still made it difficult to see far ahead, it gave him more time to react,
preventing him from being attacked directly by the monsters in the blood mist.
After running for a while, Chen Hao realized the three Evolvers were following closely behind him.
In other words,
they were being pursued by the mutant dogs.
If one of them hadn't been constantly attacking the mutant dogs with vines to keep them at bay, they would have likely been caught up.
Seeing the mutant spiders weren't pursuing them, Chen Hao simply gave up running. After all
, two legs couldn't outrun four, and Lin Yuerou was slower, so it was only a matter of time before they caught up. He stopped, turned, and fired
several shots at the mutant dogs. The leading one was struck multiple times, instantly collapsing dead. The explosive shrapnel lodged in its body ripped its body to smithereens. "Help me stop the mutant dogs. I can kill them," Chen Hao said to the three Evolvers as he fired. However, the three ignored him and ran off. Clearly, they were using him and Lin Yuerou as bait. They were probably following them to draw their attention. Seeing this, a chill flashed in Chen Hao's eyes, and he almost couldn't resist shooting them. If the mutant dogs hadn't pounced, he would have killed them first. Fortunately, Lin Yuerou's stink bomb pistol was incredibly powerful. While it didn't do much physical damage to the mutant dogs, and a hit wouldn't be fatal, the intense stench of the stink bomb quickly transformed the surrounding area into a foul-smelling area. Furthermore, any mutant dog that dared to show its face would be shot dead by him, and for a time, no mutant could get close. In a short while , several were dead. The others, unwilling to approach, refused to die, hiding in the blood mist. Seeing the advantage, Chen Hao switched to a level 3 extended magazine and glanced around, somewhat expecting more mutant dogs to emerge. But the mutant dogs, perhaps frightened by the power of his pistol or perhaps the overpowering stench of the stink bomb, were deterred. After waiting for a while, with no sign of any mutant dogs emerging, Chen Hao quickly retrieved the energy crystals from the killed dogs and ran towards the hardware store . However, even as he ran, he kept a constant eye on his surroundings, fearing any sneak attacks from the remaining mutant dogs.
A short while later.
This book was first published on Taiwan Novel Network →𝒕𝒘𝒌𝒂𝒏.𝒄𝒐𝒎, offering a flawless, out-of-order reading experience.
Chen Hao encountered a mutant covered in bone spurs, not only on his hands but also on his body, resembling a hedgehog.
However, before the bone-spurred mutant could reach him, he was shot dead multiple times.
This left him with a Level 1 crystal and a dozen sharp bone spurs.
Chen Hao had just stuffed the severed bone spurs into his trouser pocket when he heard a buzzing sound.
Looking up,
he saw countless thumb-sized blood-red mosquitoes.
His face paled, and he quickly grabbed Lin Yuerou and ran.
Some of the mosquitoes landed on the mutant's corpse, instantly sucking it dry.
The majority of the mosquitoes pursued Chen Hao and the others at an extremely high speed. Seeing
the mosquito swarm approaching, Chen Hao lifted Lin Yuerou up and ran at full speed, finally gaining some distance.
Before he could rejoice, a vine suddenly wrapped around his leg, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground.
He was then dragged uncontrollably into the bloody mist.
Lin Yuerou quickly scrambled to her feet and grabbed his hand, hoping to save him.
However, her strength was too weak, and she was dragged down with her, nearly being dragged along with Chen Hao by the vine.
Fortunately, Chen Hao grabbed a nearby streetlight and managed to steady himself.
But he, too, was suspended in the air by the vines, unable to exert any force, and could only cling to the streetlight tightly to prevent himself from being dragged away.
Lin Yuerou anxiously tried to pull away at the vines that had entangled him,
but he quickly stopped her.
He had just glanced at the vines, and they were covered in tiny, sharp thorns, likely poisonous. He couldn't pull them away with his hands.
Fortunately, he had enough strength to fight the vines.
Buzz buzz buzz.
The bloody mosquitoes were chasing them.
Chen Hao quickly pulled a sharp kitchen knife from his trouser pocket and instructed Lin Yuerou to cut through the vines entangled with him.
Though the vines were tough,
they couldn't withstand the sharp knife, which he had upgraded to level three.
As the vines were cut, the broken section twisted like a living thing.
After Chen Hao climbed from the ground, he unhesitatingly carried Lin Yuerou and ran, away from the vines and the swarm of blood mosquitoes.
Plants eat people.
He didn't dare approach areas with dense vegetation, running frantically across the concrete floor of the residential complex.
It took a while before
he could hear the buzzing sound and escape the swarm of blood mosquitoes.
Chen Hao set Lin Yuerou down and asked her to fire two shots into the ground.
Then he picked up a stink bomb and gave it to Lin Yuerou.
They had already encountered so many dangers before even leaving the complex. It would be best to make themselves smelly.
That way,
the mutants with their keen sense of smell wouldn't mistake them for prey.
Chen Hao glanced at his surroundings. They were not far from the entrance to the complex.
He loaded his pistol and cautiously walked towards the door with Lin Yuerou.
Once there,
he saw the ground covered in blood and scattered bones.
Clearly, many had died here, staining the ground red with blood.
Fortunately, there was no danger.
The two of them walked past the damaged railing and saw a number of abandoned vehicles parked on the road outside the residential complex.
Chen Hao surveyed his surroundings before walking down the street into the blood mist.
A moment later,
a Clawed Mutant burst out from a nearby shop and lunged at the two.
Chen Hao shot it in the head, its body falling in front of him.
Several more Clawed Mutants then emerged from the blood mist,
but he shot them dead before they could reach him. However, it was like stirring up a hornet's nest, with roars rising from the surrounding blood mist.
Chen Hao's face darkened. He didn't bother to dig out the energy crystals from the corpses and ran towards the hardware store with Lin Yuerou.
Mutants appeared from time to time ahead, but he quickly dispatched them.
Not to be outdone, Lin Yuerou killed two mutants with her stink bomb pistol.
But the number of mutants chasing them grew, forcing them to fire relentlessly.
Their ammunition quickly depleted.
Fortunately, mutants would eat the bodies of their companions to compete for energy crystals.
Stronger mutants would even target other mutants, giving the two a chance to catch their breath.
Before their ammunition ran out,
Chen Hao and Lin Yuerou finally reached a hardware store not far from the residential complex.
The door was wide open,
and the two rushed inside.
Chen Hao guarded the entrance while Lin Yuerou searched for six-millimeter steel balls.
As more and more mutants were killed, his ammunition dwindled, and the pressure mounted.
"Found it,"
Lin Yuerou's excited voice finally brought him a sigh of relief.
Soon, Lin Yuerou ran to his side, handed him a magazine filled with steel balls, and continued firing at the mutants.
However, her pistol wasn't very powerful, and her marksmanship wasn't always accurate.
The mutants approached rapidly, and fear flickered in her eyes.
"Leave it to me. You help me reload." Chen Hao switched to full-auto mode, his pistol instantly transforming into a machine gun.
Bullets rained down,
instantly shredding the mutants in front of him.
After clearing out the approaching mutants, he switched to burst fire, headshotting each mutant that emerged from the blood mist.
A true one-man defense against
ten thousand!
With Lin Yuerou helping him reload, he could fire without hesitation.
If the mutants were too numerous, he'd switch to full-auto mode to clear them out; their flesh and blood wouldn't be able to stop them.
If they were few, he'd just headshot them, preventing any of them from getting close.
Even the fastest mutants could be mowed down.
Soon,
the corpses of the mutants piled up like a mountain, and blood flowed like a river.
Then, the ground shook, and a massive mutant emerged from the blood mist.
Chen Hao looked at the massive mutant, its five-meter-tall body covered in black bone armor, clutching a telephone pole as a weapon.
With a casual sweep,
the mutants standing in its way were swept away.
Without hesitation, Chen Hao turned and dragged Lin Yuerou into the hardware store.
With the arrival of the giant mutant, the ordinary mutants fled, but no more pursued him.
Chen Hao quickly loaded some steel balls into his trouser pockets and tried to escape through the back door.
However, he discovered that the giant mutant didn't attack him, but was instead eating at the buffet outside, calling out mutants one by one.
Seeing the giant mutant snatching his loot, Chen Hao
didn't act rashly.
Instead, he quickly cleared out the hardware store's steel balls and found the back door.
He then completely reloaded his magazine with steel balls and
told Lin Yuerou to wait for him at the back door.
He had to try to kill the giant mutant outside.
Chen Hao approached the store entrance with his gun in hand, looking at the giant mutant sitting on the ground eating at the buffet.
He switched to armor-piercing ammunition, tightened his grip, and aimed at the giant mutant's eyes.
Bang!
The bullet instantly emptied into the giant mutant.
The giant mutant seemed to sense danger and instantly closed its eyes.
Chen Hao's bullet pierced its eyelid and lodged in the mutant's eye, leaving a bloody hole.
"Roar!"
the giant mutant roared in anger.
Its massive body, flexing all four limbs, lunged at the hardware store where Chen Hao was.
Chen Hao's rapidly fired bullets landed on it with a clang of metal clashing, breaking only the giant mutant's bone armor.
Boom!
The giant mutant crashed into the two-story building.
Its massive hands grabbed Chen Hao.
Chen Hao quickly backed away, the store shelves blocking the mutant's hand.
The mutant swung its arms in anger, turning the hardware store upside down.
The entire building felt like it had been shaken, cracks appearing in the walls.
Chen Hao ran to the back door, grabbed Lin Yuerou, and ran back.
Fortunately, this area was a commercial street, with a path leading back to numerous houses and shops to hide in.
(Please remember the Taiwan Novel Network → 𝒕𝒘𝒌𝒂𝒏.𝒄𝒐𝒎 website for the fastest chapter updates.)
Boom!
The hardware store was destroyed by the giant mutant using a utility pole.
Thanks to the stench of the stink bomb and the protective blood mist,
Chen Hao and the other two escaped undetected by the mutant, leaving the hardware store reduced to rubble.
However, the mutant could not find the culprit in the wreckage.
Roar!
The roar echoed in all directions,
startling the surrounding mutants and sending them fleeing.
Chen Hao ran for a long time, but saw no giant mutants pursuing him.
Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief,
a swarm of cat-sized mutant rats emerged from the bloody mist, their green eyes fixed on the two men with a bloodthirsty urge.
Without a word, Chen Hao unleashed a volley of bullets,
ten rounds a second.
In seconds, the magazine was mostly empty.
The mutant rats suffered heavy casualties, with dozens slain in the blink of an eye.
But the remaining rats continued to charge towards the two men, fearlessly.
Chen Hao could only run and fire, firing continuously to keep the mutant rats at bay. Lin Yuerou also fired at the swarm.
The stink bullets stabbed across a hundred meters.
But the mutant rats were too numerous, and countless green eyes could be seen in the bloody mist.
Before long,
the two men were surrounded by the mutant rats and forced to take shelter in a nearby hotel.
The hotel lobby was stained with blood and corpses. Several mutants rushed towards the two men, but Chen Hao shot them down with a few shots.
But the mutant rats behind them filed in and gave chase inside.
Unable to collect the energy crystals, Chen Hao could only run to the hotel's second-floor stairwell, turn around, and fire at the mutant rats behind him.
In the confined space,
he didn't have to worry about being surrounded; the
mutant rats' numerical advantage was gone. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the mutant rats chasing them suffered heavy casualties, their bodies soon blocking the stairwell.
A
huge roar echoed.
The mutant rats fled in panic, disappearing in a flash.
Chen Hao heard the noise and knew that the giant mutant was pursuing them, causing the mutant rats to flee.
Sure enough,
the hotel he was in was rumbling, clearly being demolished by the giant mutant.
Chen Hao had just jumped from the second-floor window at the back of the hotel with Lin Yuerou when he saw someone else jump down from the third floor.
It looked like
another Evolver.
The man, holding a beautiful woman in each hand, jumped from the third floor. After landing safely, he glanced at Chen Hao and ran away.
His figure disappeared into the blood mist like a ghost.
"What a fast speed!" Chen
Hao glanced at the blood mist and quickly fled the hotel with Lin Yuerou.
But the giant mutant seemed to harbor a strong hatred for him.
He was in hot pursuit.
Had he not used the terrain and buildings to dodge, he would have likely been caught up.
Fortunately, this time the giant mutant was right behind him, while the other normal mutants were faster than him.
As more and more buildings were destroyed by the giant mutants, many humans and mutants hiding within were caught in the crossfire.
Chen Hao and Lin Yuerou, also in pursuit, fled back to Longteng Community.
There was no other way.
Longteng Community was the nearest high-rise building.
He didn't believe the giant mutant could still catch him even if he ran up to the upper floors.
A bodyguard followed behind, his angry roar shaking the blood mist and subduing the mutants within Longteng Community.
Chen Hao ran into the community for a long time without encountering any mutant attacks.
Seeing the giant mutant's heavy, powerful footsteps approaching, he quickly ran into the adjacent Building No. 6.
As he reached the second floor, the giant mutant was already chasing him downstairs.
Roar!
Seeing Chen Hao retreat into the building again, the giant mutant roared in anger and began to destroy the building.
The rumbling sound was incessant.
But the mass of a high-rise building was far superior to that of a two- or three-story house.
It would be difficult for the giant mutant to destroy it in a short time.
Chen Hao felt the entire building tremble slightly and hurried to the fifth floor.
After killing a mutant in the corridor, he looked down from the corridor window at the giant mutant below.
He raised his gun and took aim.
Bang!
Bullets rained down.
The continuous fire hit the giant mutant's head. Although it missed the headshot, it shattered its bone armor.
Chen Hao let out a sigh of relief at being hunted and turned without hesitation to run upstairs.
The next second,
the enraged giant mutant leaped up and punched the corridor window,
creating a massive hole.
However, Chen Hao had already fled, further infuriating him.
At that moment,
several vines, like snakes, silently crept to the giant mutant's feet.
Before he could react, they instantly wrapped around his legs, attempting to drag him towards the plant-covered Building 5.
However, the giant mutant's massive frame quickly stabilized him.
Enraged, he tore through the vines, grabbing hold of the retreating vines and ripping them apart, instantly breaking another section. The
broken vines continued to retreat, and the giant mutant pursued without hesitation.
Once they reached Building 5,
the black creeper covering the building finally bared its fangs, and countless vines instantly entangled the giant mutant. The
vines, covered in tiny venomous spines, twisted and twisted, attempting to penetrate the mutant's body.
Although the giant mutant's body was covered in bone armor, it still had vulnerable spots, such as joints, eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.
Moreover,
Chen Hao had previously shattered much of its bone armor, allowing the tiny vines that branched off from the vines to penetrate directly.
Soon, numerous vines had penetrated the giant mutant's body,
rapidly sucking its blood while releasing neurotoxins.
But the giant mutant was no pushover. It struggled furiously, instantly breaking free.
It quickly tore through the vines, grabbing and pulling at the surrounding vines.
Unfortunately, it was in the territory of the mutant creeper. As soon as a vine broke, several more vines entwined itself,
binding it tightly.
Countless vines, like a swarm of demons, formed a giant ball, within which lay the giant mutant, its prey.
Moments later,
the giant mutant roared, shredding the ball and charging forward furiously. Its immense force shattered its vines one after another, allowing it to escape the vines' attack range.
Countless vines pursued it, but were unable to stop it.
But within a short time.
The giant mutant had a lot of blood sucked out of it, and its body became much thinner.
Building No. 6.
Chen Hao heard the giant mutant's roar and guessed that it was fighting with other mutant creatures.
Although he didn't know who would win or lose, the giant mutant couldn't do anything to him.
He shook his head and put the giant mutant behind him, and began to clear the mutant creatures in Building No. 6 layer by layer.
Obtain energy crystals.
The mutant creatures in Building No. 6 seemed to have not been cleared out yet. There were still quite a few of them, and their strength was not very strong.
He cleared them up layer by layer and harvested a lot of energy crystals.
When he reached the thirteenth floor.
Chen Hao knocked on a door, and then a human voice came from the house.
He wanted to leave directly, but he heard someone in the house shouting for help.
As the saying goes,
less trouble is better than more.
Chen Hao had initially been prepared to intervene, but the people inside the house actually threatened him.
It was a recipe for death!
He adhered to the principle of striking first, gaining strength; striking last, suffering the consequences.
To prevent any Evolved from inside, he emptied his magazine at the door without a word.
The door was smashed open.
The men who had threatened him at the doorway were riddled with bullets.
Chen Hao kicked the shattered door open with one foot, raising his gun to survey the room.
Besides the bodies lying in a pool of blood by the doorway, several naked men and women lay on the sofa in the living room.
The perpetrators and victims were clearly visible.
He strode into the room, his gun pointed at the men on the sofa.
"So many people here, it's quite lively,"
he grinned, his eyes cold.
"Big, big brother..."
A man climbed off the girl, his eyes filled with fear, and raised his hands in a trembling plea for mercy.
Bang!
A single shot to the head.
"Did I ask you to speak?"
Chen Hao glanced at the corpse with cold eyes.
At this time, a middle-aged man saw that Chen Hao was not going to let them go, and suddenly rushed towards Chen Hao, wanting to fight him to the death.
Bang, bang, bang!
Chen Hao fired three shots in a row, one shot to the head, one shot through the heart, and the last shot blew up his murder weapon.
"Within seven steps, the gun is accurate and fast."
He pointed the gun at the last man on the sofa and said lightly: "Do you want to try to dodge my bullets?"
Seeing that he was scared, he just looked at him with fear on his face.
Chen Hao felt bored and shot
him in the head. Send him to reunite with his companions.
Chen Hao had just killed the man when he saw two more people walking out of the bedroom naked.
A man, wielding a long knife, held another man, his eyes gleaming with fear, and threatened him with a timid air:
"Let me go, or I'll kill him."
Chen Hao, assuming they were acting, said with amusement, "Kill one and see."
The man froze for a moment, seemingly surprised by Chen Hao's disregard for his hostage's life.
Bang!
A bullet instantly pierced his head, his eyes still filled with disbelief.
Chen Hao had the nerve to fire!
"Your turn," Chen Hao said
with disdain, looking at the terrified man. "You're the one who's pretending to be a hostage in front of me? Are you planning to kill me?" The young hostage, not caring about the wound on his neck from the long knife, quickly explained, "Brother, I was captured by them. I'm a victim. Ask them if you don't believe me." Chen Hao examined him, noting that he was indeed covered in bruises. "Is he telling the truth?" Chen Hao asked the women on the sofa. "It's true. That scumbag you just killed likes men," a young woman on the sofa nodded calmly. Chen Hao glanced at the other three women who were crying numbly, and couldn't help but look up to her reaction. Everything is afraid of comparison. To be able to remain calm in such a situation is also a talent. However, he didn't expect that the man who was taken hostage was actually a victim. He thought that such things would only happen in a certain Sichuan, but he didn't expect that there were people who liked men in his community. Chen Hao couldn't help but feel a chill when he thought of his handsome face. Fortunately. He is not an ordinary person! Otherwise, the fate of him and Lin Yuerou would not be much better than these people. After all, in this doomsday, weakness is the original sin! Chen Hao walked over and picked up the long knife. Judging from the style, it should be a Tang Dynasty horizontal knife. There is a scabbard in the house. He put away his spoils and glanced at the few people he rescued: "I don't want the food in the house, you guys can take care of yourself." After that, he walked out. The girl who had spoken earlier hurried forward, nervously saying, "Can I follow you? I'll definitely obey." Chen Hao paused, glanced at her, and shook his head. "Sorry, I can't protect myself. You're on your own." With that, he walked out of the room. Lin Yuerou, who was standing guard at the door, glanced at him and silently followed him upstairs. Yang Mei noticed the stunning Lin Yuerou outside and gritted her teeth, her eyes darkening. Chen Hao was no saint; he naturally wouldn't bring a bunch of burdens with him. Soon, Chen Hao cleared the room floor by floor, quickly reaching the 32nd floor. He reached the rooftop and was greeted by a bloody mist that enveloped the sky and earth. His vision was obstructed, and he couldn't see far into the distance. Seeing no mutants on the rooftop, he casually observed the area before heading downstairs with Lin Yuerou. They found an empty room on the 30th floor and broke in, preparing to use it as their temporary residence for the night.
Chen Hao piled miscellaneous items near the door to prevent unauthorized entry.
He then took out the energy crystals he had harvested, washed them, and counted them—over fifty in total.
However, most of them were zero-level crystals, so their effects on him were minimal.
Chen Hao took out twenty zero-level crystals and handed them to Lin Yuerou, "These crystals should significantly improve your stamina and strength."
He had previously told Lin Yuerou about energy crystals, and she naturally knew they could enhance her strength.
Looking at the crystals before her, although tempted, she shook her head. "My pistol is enough. These crystals are best used by you. My strength boost won't help much."
"Here,"
Chen Hao took her hand and placed the crystals in hers. "These crystals don't have much effect on me anymore."
"Your stamina is too weak now. You can't even run fast against a strong enemy. You still need to strengthen yourself.
Besides,
you can't be too weak."
Chen Hao gave a meaningful smile, which immediately made Lin Yuerou blush slightly, and she no longer refused his offer.
Soon,
both of them had significantly improved their stamina and strength.
After adjusting to the increased power, Chen Hao took out his pistol and began to upgrade it.
He had thought his Red Dot pistol was already powerful enough, but the giant mutant he encountered today had taught him a lesson.
To deal with such powerful mutants, he needed to increase the power of his pistol.
Once he upgraded his Red Dot pistol a few more levels, he would show the giant mutant why flowers are so red.
He didn't want to experience this feeling of being hunted again.
This time,
he wasn't prepared enough to upgrade his pistol to the point where it could instantly kill the giant mutant. He
would never leave Building 6!
After all, he had enough steel balls and no shortage of bullets for the time being, so he could develop for a while longer.
Mutants that could enter the building shouldn't be able to withstand the power of his pistol.
After all, generally speaking, the stronger the mutant, the larger they are.
The building was cramped,
so those powerful mutants couldn't get in.
Just like that five-meter-tall giant mutant, it could only rage helplessly downstairs.
Soon after,
the two of them had a snack, and the sky grew darker.
Chen Hao poured some water from his trouser pocket, took a bath with Lin Yuerou, and then took her to bed.
Late at night,
he was in the middle of a conversation with Lin Yuerou when he heard the sound of rain outside.
Chen Hao didn't bother to indulge in the gentleness of the moment, so he quickly withdrew, picked up the candle on the bedside table, and walked to the window.
As the
curtains opened, the sound of rain became clearer.
It was raining!
Chen Hao reached out the window and caught some rainwater.
He looked closely.
The rain in his hand was like blood.
