Chapter Nine, Wolves and Domestic Dogs
Come on, let you experience the power of the critics
Shen Feng looked on in astonishment as a golden retriever unexpectedly walked out from among the pack of wolves, with the surrounding ferocious wolves parting to create a path, subtly displaying a semblance of submission
Clang ... ... clang ... ...
Soon, the water in the pot had boiled. Shen Feng first took out a pack of compressed biscuits to make do with, and then filled all four large spray bottles with boiling water
Shen Feng immediately pressed the trigger of the spray bottle, and scalding hot water gushed out, steaming vigorously!
Shen Feng frowned and pulled out a submachine gun from the handcart
Wearing a riot helmet, donning a bulletproof vest, carrying firearms and ammunition, and holding a large spray bottle in each hand, I arrived at the entrance of the epidemic prevention center building
There must be skinners present in the epidemic prevention center, and their numbers will not be few
At this moment, the city has completely transformed into a jungle law, where only the places inhabited by large predators can be so quiet
The sound of gunfire erupted, shattering the glass windows in an instant, producing a tremendous noise that caused the wolf pack to stir once more, with many turning to flee.
After all, the quantity is indeed too large
The last time I encountered them, I was so nervous that I didn't have the chance to observe carefully. It is only now that I realize this so-called wolf pack is actually composed of both wolves and domestic dogs!
After all, the quantity of ammunition is limited, and upon reaching the epidemic prevention center, it is uncertain what kind of dangers may be encountered
From the blast-proof glass at the entrance, one can see dozens of stone statues towering in the hall, along with several skinners wandering about. At this moment, they have already pounced at the door, staring at Shen Feng in the sunlight and continuously shouting.
A sudden roar and the sound of collisions erupted from some of the shops and buildings nearby
Shen Feng witnessed with his own eyes a skinner pressing his forehead against the glass window of a door, his eyes filled with madness, yet he did not break through the door to escape.
He then aimed the pistol at a nearby glass window and pulled the trigger again
They had never heard such a terrifying sound before, and for a moment, they were somewhat perplexed about what this creature before them actually was
A group of skinners inside the door let out frenzied howls, their chaotic minds only wanting to tear apart this human who was different from them, at the very least, to strip off his skin
It seems quite normal, after all, they have lost their skin, and exposure to sunlight is essentially akin to placing flesh and blood on a hot iron to sear.
The iron box rolls on the ground, producing a piercing noise
On the other side of the street, a massive head wolf stepped out with other members of the wolf pack, its eyes radiating a terrifying brilliance
Or could they utilize the remnants of human civilization to rapidly evolve and gradually develop their own civilization
Shen Feng, unhurried, first found several large spray bottles and some bottled water from a small supermarket by the street, set up a pot, and began boiling water right at the entrance of the epidemic prevention center
At this moment, Shen Feng suddenly realized that the wolf pack was quite different from what he had previously imagined
Shen Feng squinted his eyes, ready to let this vicious wolf experience the power of bullets
He quickly dressed himself neatly, hid behind the corner of a wall at the street corner, and threw an empty iron box onto the empty street before him
Therefore, it remains primarily focused on deterrence
At last, one of the skinners could no longer endure it and charged towards Shen Feng in the sunlight, only to be shot down by Shen Feng. He writhed in agony on the ground, soon becoming parched and cracked all over from the sunlight, ultimately bleeding profusely and dying.
The golden retriever slowly walked to the front of the wolf pack, coming before Shen Feng. A hint of submission flashed in its fierce gaze, and then it cautiously glanced at the gun in Shen Feng's hand
Shen Feng couldn't help but smacking his lips; these skin peelers should be considered the most vulnerable monsters.
They have returned again
The epidemic prevention center has arrived
Alaska, Blackback, Doberman, Rural Dog, and even Huskies
After walking down an entire street, the sound of howling was incessant, and the sides of the road seemed like the prison cages of hell. Shen Feng finally arrived at the entrance of the epidemic prevention center
Shen Feng let out a long breath, put the gun away, and then began to push the cart forward again
From the performance of that golden retriever, it is evident that he still holds a deep memory and affection for human civilization, yet it remains uncertain how long this affection can last
It is now noon, and the sun is blazing in the sky, with the sunlight being harsh; those who expose themselves to it will suffer from cracked skin and may perish.
Although several years have passed, the intelligent solar power supply system here continues to operate faithfully
Shen Feng suddenly became tense
The lead wolf was clearly not frightened by the gunfire, but was instead preparing to continue leading the pack in the hunt
Shen Feng immediately emerged from the corner, carefully pushing the cart as he stepped onto the street
The automatic sensing door, though stained with blood, is still operational. As Shen Feng approached, the door opened immediately
There is no reproductive isolation between wolves and domestic dogs, which makes sense
Based on the health condition of this golden retriever in its prime, it should be no more than 8 years old
All are medium-sized hunting dogs
Bang! Crash!
Aww
Unless absolutely necessary, he does not wish to engage in battle with the wolf pack
Only this person possesses a very dangerous aura
If the wolf pack insists on launching an attack against him, he may not be able to escape unscathed
The fierce-looking lead wolf suddenly stopped, instantly becoming much more docile, and turned to look in the direction from which the barking of the dog was coming.
One of the golden retriever's ears is missing half, there are deep scratch marks on its face, its fur is also gray and dull, and its stature is even much taller than that of an average wolf, clearly having gone through many battles
A high-rise building with more than thirty stories has appeared before me just outside a block, and the surroundings are eerily quiet, showing no signs of activity from any medium to large-sized animals
Shen Feng observed closely; around the neck of this Golden Retriever, there was a leather collar, clearly indicating that it had once been domesticated by humans
Shen Feng strode in with a blank expression
The golden retriever seemed to understand his words, gazed at him for a few seconds, then turned around and howled a few times before leaving with the wolf pack, leaving only a ground full of paw prints
At that moment, another howl echoed, causing the wolf pack to instantly stabilize
These skinners fear the sunlight
It is as if a group of malevolent spirits seeks to drag the living into hell
He seems to have determined that the creature before him cannot simultaneously cope with the assault of dozens of beasts, aiming to achieve his goal in one decisive strike
Shen Feng shook his head; these were not matters he should be concerned with
One by one, the grotesque skinners lunged at the doors and windows, emitting frenzied howls, yet they were deterred from charging out by the sunlight
Several skinning operators rushed over immediately
The lifespan of a Golden Retriever is generally between 12 to 15 years, which means that since the outbreak of the statue apocalypse, it should not exceed fifteen years
In front is a square, below are four circles, and behind is a cylindrical creature, it is truly bizarre and resembles a book
Great wisdom and great courage, bravely fighting against the disease, achieving victory in the final stage of conquering the stone disease
Perhaps after a few years, once the last generation of domestic dogs has passed away, only wild wolves will remain in this world
It immediately shrank back as soon as it was touched by sunlight
The deafening gunfire echoed through the streets, causing the advancing pack of wolves to halt in their tracks, letting out a howl as they retreated.
The rusty wheels emitted a "squeak squeak" sound, instantly awakening the skinners within the surrounding buildings
Waving the gun in his hand, Shen Feng pointed into the distance and said, "Let's go, I mean no harm"
Suddenly, amidst the wolf pack, several barks of dogs were heard
The lead wolf let out a low growl once again, stopping its companions who were attempting to flee, and then lowered its body, seemingly preparing to forcefully encircle its prey
Humanity, it is humanity
The one he considered to be the alpha wolf does not seem to be the leader of the pack; it is this golden retriever before him that truly holds that position
Evidently, after humans completely disappeared from the cities, the packs of wolves that escaped from the zoos merged with the stray dogs in the urban areas to form a new community
The surroundings were enveloped in a profound silence and desolation, with scarcely any sound of insects to be heard.
It is the skinner
Several lines of text are continuously flashing on the LED screen at the entrance of the epidemic prevention center
Upon closer inspection, among these dozens of ferocious wolves, not all are wolves; nearly half of them subtly resemble domestic dogs
