Wasteland Survival System and Dogs

Chapter 7 On the way
After the setting sun sinks and twilight falls, the wind and sand all over the sky become a breathtaking 'monster'.Losing the warmth of the sun, the cold sand and dust slapped on the skin one by one, sucking body heat non-stop.

The ruined city of Changfeng is not just in name.

Under the terrain with a relatively high slope, the entire ruined city is pierced by a never-ending gust of wind.It can blow people alive into jerky during the day, and freeze them into mummies at night.

Under such a drastic temperature difference, an unprepared ordinary person would fall cold and cold in the ruins in just a few hours. Thinking of this, Jing'an couldn't help but tighten her tight clothes.

Under the prompts of the system, all the troubles caused by the environment will be easily solved.

He even bought a whole piece of cashmere cotton cover for the old Popsicle, and wrapped the half-human tall dog tightly.

"System, where are we now?"
[Hint: After analysis, it has not yet gone out of the scope of Changfeng Ruin City.After eight hours of movement, the red flame python just moved from the center to another edge]

[Judging from the trajectory of the action, the situation of the red python is not ideal. It seems that it has temporarily given up its hunting plan and wants to rest for a while to recover its state]

"He wants to rest...isn't there any way to harass him?"

[Under analysis... It is recommended that the host chooses to stay squatting, and the effect of active harassment will not be too obvious.At the same time, if the red python is angered, the probability of the host dying on the spot is as high as 94%]

Hearing this, Jing An couldn't help but slow down.He looked forward, but only saw endless flying sand and darkness all over the sky.

But relying on the system's prompts, he understood that the ruins of a two-story building nearly 800 meters away were the red python's foothold today.

There was a little unwillingness in Jing'an's eyes, but in the end she reluctantly gave up the plan.

Still not strong enough, even a red python with such an injury has such a high mortality rate.

In order not to reveal their whereabouts, one person and one dog dared to stay far behind.And under the cover of the wind and sand, the nose of the old popsicle is not very good at this time - between breathing, the sky full of yellow sand will pour into the respiratory tract, no dog will like this environment.

Fortunately, under the lock of the system, Jing'an did not completely lose track of the target.

He looked around, and after a while, he picked out a half-collapsed bungalow, and carefully walked over with the old Popsicle.

In the area near the edge, the surrounding ruined buildings are also sparse.Obviously, in the subsequent operations, there are not many natural bunkers left that can help Jing An hide her figure.

If we follow up tomorrow, it seems that we have to follow more loosely...

"Old Popsicle, let's take a rest."

The old popsicle on the side stopped at the right time, and even opened its mouth to hit him.A pair of smart dog eyes looked up and down at Jing'an, and exhaled a breath of moist warmth.

"Ugh..."

[Translation: Give me something to eat, I’m exhausted]

A whole piece of biscuit compressed into a brick-like shape. After being broken open, it was contained in a paper bag and mixed with a little drinking water.

Jing An crushed it, stirred it until it swelled into a paste, and placed it in front of the old Popsicle.

"Eat."

Old Popsicle didn't have the habit of picky eaters. He fell down and immediately buried his head in the pile of mush - the torment of the blood scorpion venom, coupled with the non-stop tracking, he was already very hungry.

Jing'an chewed the dry ration slowly, looked out of the dim window, her tone was a little low.

"Today...thank you."

"Wang."

[Translation: You're welcome, just have more snacks next time]

Jing'an couldn't help laughing, he reached out and touched the oily big head of the old popsicle.

"Do you want to think about leaving now?"

The devouring movement couldn't help but stop. The old popsicle raised his head. His beard and nostrils were full of yellow paste, and his eyes were full of surprise.

"call."

[Translation: Why so suddenly? 】

Jing An patted the back of her head, considered her words, and slowly confide in her heart.

"As you can see, my next actions will only become more and more dangerous. As smart as you are, you won't understand."

Needless to say, the huge body of the red flame red python has already appeared in the old popsicle's mind.It shrunk its head subconsciously, and pressed its ears back, until it collapsed into a pair of airplane ears.

"Ugh..."

【Translation: I'm curious, what exactly are you trying to do? 】

It is indeed extremely rare for a dog to ask these words.

"In order to save people, in order to be stronger, in order to..."

Jing'an pursed her lips, and said one last word after a while.

"For, let me do more."

Recalling those faces that were distorted by illness, his teeth were clenched and his face was solemn.

In Jing'an's heart, she never thought that this was a perfect world.

Radiant energy is everywhere, manic and huge mutant beasts, city-states that coexist with oppression and deprivation.

Although she has been a human for two lifetimes, Jing'an should become more slick, even more mature.But he still couldn't adapt to such a distorted and hopeless world.

If it is stronger, if it can go further...

Perhaps Noel would not be sick, and the two kind and peaceful old men would not have to suffer from illness.

"I want to change many, many people and things, and all of these require a strong force."

The old popsicle licked the mucus in his nostrils, and tilted his head—although it could communicate with people, it involved deeper humanistic concepts... Obviously, it failed to understand these.

"Wang!"

[I don't really understand what you are talking about, but I don't hate it, I like the feeling of running outside]

A way of thinking that emphasizes both instinct and wisdom...

Jing'an leaned against the side wall, looked up and down at Old Popsicle, and continued with a smile.

"Then let's continue to cooperate for a while. I was a little worried at first, thinking that if you live outside by yourself, you might not be able to last for two days, but now it seems that I should be thinking too much."

Not only can he escape from the hands of the blood scorpion and the red python, but he can even help other people in a critical moment.It may be an exaggeration to be able to do things with ease, but at least it proves that the old Popsicle is by no means an easy person.

At least, the current Jing'an is completely unable to do this.

"Working under my hands is too condescending."

But Old Popsicle didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, and buried his long face in the pile of mud under him.

[Hint: action analysis - the old popsicle doesn't care about these]

[Hint: For a hunting dog, it is his instinct to cooperate with people. If he wants to re-domesticate a wolf-like wildness, it will take several years of free-range life]

Jing An couldn't help but let out a long sigh, leaning her back against the dilapidated side wall, and slowly closed her eyes.

"System, increase the alert range to 200 meters. If there is any obvious hostile intrusion, wake me up immediately."

[Hint: Understood, the warning range has been adjusted]

The detection of the system is all-round, which can make people feel at ease.Afterwards, Jing An's consciousness began to blur and she fell into a deep sleep.

…………

[Group movement detected, analyzing...the host is not the target of the attack, and the routes do not overlap]

【Choose to ignore】

Jing'an, who had lost consciousness, did not notice this abnormality. Only the old popsicle in the dark night pricked up his ears slightly, but in the end he remained unmoved.

Silent all night.

When the early morning sunlight penetrated through the ruins, it was cut, and the blocked beam suddenly became mottled and fragmented. At this time, it was shining on Jing'an's body in various sizes.

Its daybreak.

The biting chill receded like a tide, and gusts of hot sand poured in from the gap, awakening Jing An from her sleep.

"Is the temperature difference so exaggerated..."

Just when the sun rises and sets, there is an obvious change in body temperature.Jing'an looked around and took off his windproof and warm jacket.

The old Popsicle was more sensitive than Jing'an. It wagged its tail and stood at the gap to look out.

"Wang!"

Even without systematic translation, Jing'an felt the former's excitement.

A few steps forward, after walking alongside the old Popsicle, Jing An couldn't help showing a look of surprise at the "wonderful sight" in front of her—there is a whole area of ​​one-story houses under her feet, and after extending outwards, she can still vaguely distinguish them. road.

Taking this severely corroded two-way convection lane as the boundary, a group of strange-looking monsters were seen squatting outside a building.

"Is this... a monkey?"

Jing'an narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully looked at the monsters, which were almost as tall as humans, covered with yellow bristles and with bulging muscles.

Hundreds of monkeys surrounded the ruins of a two-story building, scratching their heads for a while.

The chirping and yelling were not exaggerated.In fact, if it weren't for the downwind, it might be mistaken for a distorted wind.

[Tip: Sand monkeys are mutated evolved beasts that travel in groups.In order to adapt to the environment, sand monkeys have extremely strong physical functions, which also leads to their extreme sensitivity to blood and various liquids]

Jing An nodded secretly, Dang even understood the reason.

A small part of the head was split open by a sandworm. Without external force, the red python could not recover overnight.He rubbed his chin silently and asked quietly.

"Are they all attracted by the snake's blood... System, how strong is the Sand Monkey?"

[Under analysis...individual sand monkeys are only slightly stronger than ordinary people.Because of the difference in body muscle and body density, the sand monkey will be more likely to highlight its body shape. The stronger the appearance of the sand monkey, the higher its social status will be, and it will also be a strong competitor for the clan leader]

Just a little stronger than normal people.

Jing An keenly grasped this important information, but before she had time to diverge her thinking, one person and one dog saw a two-meter-tall sand monkey jumping up from the group of monkeys.

"Karma! Whoa, quack, quack!"

【Translation: Hunting, Blood, Flesh, Chance to Evolve】

I don't know if the system's translation is too straightforward, or the sand monkey's language skills are unexpectedly lacking.Just as the sand monkey, which seemed to be the leader, was mobilizing, a blurred red light flashed away.

Like a steel giant traveling at high speed, it hit the sand monkey blocking the road without any pause.It wasn't until most of their bodies were exposed to the early sun that the monkeys reacted and let out ear-piercing screams or roars.

"Out."

In Jing'an's solemn expression, the red python raised his neck slightly, and an undulating arc bulged from his throat, then slid down until it disappeared into the flat snake body.

The seemingly majestic leader of the sand monkey died like this.
