Chapter 18: Two bottles of water, one to take and one to hide
An extremely faint but sharp buzzing sound pierced her [Primary Danger Sense] like a fine needle.
Danger!
From the air!
Without thinking, Bai Li suddenly jumped to the side, curled up his body, and protected the back of his neck with his tail!
whoosh!
A gray-black shadow passed by the place where she had just stood like lightning, and the strong wind it brought made her cheek hurt!
Bang!
The shadow slammed into the stone sculpture beside the fountain, sending rubble flying. Bai Li looked at it in shock.
She saw a mutant sparrow, the size of an eagle, with gray and black feathers, firmly grasping the stone sculpture with its claws, tilting its head and staring at her with its scarlet eyes.
The bird's beak opened and closed, making a threatening clicking sound!
If Bai Li hadn’t sensed the danger and been warned by the sneak attack just now, her head would have been pierced by the sharp bird beak!
She crouched down, letting out a low, threatening growl.
Confronting the mutant sparrow.
The sparrow is smaller than her, but it is extremely fast, has tricky attacks, and has air superiority!
What's more troublesome is that
Its goal is clear.
Prevent Bai Li from getting water, and maybe even treat her as prey!
Bai Li glanced at the bottle of water that had just been filled on the ground, and then looked at the broken pipe that was still leaking water.
At this time, the system selection pops up.
[Attacked by mutant sparrows while filling water]
[Current status: tired, hungry.]
Please make your choice:
[Option 1: Abandon the water source and escape immediately, looking for another water source (Risk: Low, Easier to escape, Reward: Weak Spirit +1, Stamina restored)]
[Option 2: Escape immediately with the bottle of water you've already filled. (Risks: Movement becomes difficult, and you might be attacked by the mutant crows, making it difficult to escape. Rewards: Weak Spirit +3, Speed +1)]
[Option 3: Look for an opportunity to kill the mutant sparrow, then refill the tank with water. (Risk: You may not be a match for the mutant sparrow and be killed by it. Reward: Weak Spirit +3, Stamina Restored, Stamina +1, Speed +1)]
give up?
impossible!
This is the stable water source she found with great difficulty!
I will never give up so easily.
Water resources are extremely precious and may not be found in other places.
As for the battle of option three,
Bai Li also quickly ruled it out.
The other party can fly!
It is difficult to hit effectively with your own claws and primary combos!
And once entangled, the smell of blood and movement may attract even more terrifying things!
It will be terrible by then.
It seems that only option 2 is appropriate.
Although there is only one bottle of water, it is enough for today.
At worst, I can come back next time.
No one else can use the dirty water on the ground.
But I can use the primary purification technique to purify,
Basically no one or any living thing will take it.
"Choose two!"
[Congratulations on choosing 2, Reward: Weak Spirit +3, Speed +1]
Bai Li suddenly felt her body lighten.
Three weak spiritual energies entered the body,
The number of spells that can be used has been successfully restored to five.
If I can’t beat him, can I still run away?
"Elementary sprint!"
After using a little spiritual energy, there are still five spiritual energy points left.
Bai Li's figure turned into a stream of light and flew over and dropped the already filled bottle of water into his mouth.
He leaped up with all four limbs and pounced in one direction.
flap!
flap!
The mutant sparrow found that his prey had escaped, and he quickly chased after Bai Li.
Bai Li leaped suddenly and quickly jumped into a pit from a blind spot of the mutant sparrow.
The mutant sparrow circled back and forth in the air, but couldn't find Bai Li, so it left unwillingly.
Looking at the mutant sparrow's departing figure, Bai Li snorted coldly.
"You little bastard, you're not even close to being able to fight me."
Bai Li put down the bottle of water in his mouth and hid it.
He then returned to the park and filled a bottle of water and held it in his mouth.
She didn't plan to take the bottle of water she had hidden away, after all, her ability was limited.
Come out and get it next time.
From a distance came the long, howling barks of mutant wild dogs.
There was a rustling, creeping sound nearby.
Like countless arthropods crawling under the rubble,
Bai Li pressed herself tightly into the cold, rough shadow of the wall.
[Primary Danger Sense] was like a faint warning light deep in her consciousness.
At this moment, it is emitting a soft green light steadily.
This means that there is currently no fatal threat targeting her nearby.
But this does not mean safety. Those sounds, whether far or near, are like swords hanging over your head.
Bai Li's goal is clear:
Looking for food,
The main thing is that she can quickly replenish her physical strength, as well as the milk powder of her little ancestor.
The most urgent thing is to fill your stomach and recover.
Then go back with the milk powder as soon as possible.
She followed her memory and the extremely faint smell of human food in the air.
He crept towards the small community convenience store on the corner, taking every step with extreme caution, the pads on his paws perfectly absorbing the sound of landing.
The night is much scarier than the day.
Suddenly, she sensed an unsettling rustling sound and a strong fishy smell coming from the alley on the left side of the road ahead.
[Danger Sense] A slight, barely noticeable yellow ripple appeared.
Bai Li stopped immediately, pressed her body against the wall, and waited in her heart.
Ten seconds later,
A mutant hyena the size of a wolf, with bald fur and dragging half of its rotten intestines, slowly wandered past the alley, sniffing the ground with its scarlet nose and making low gurgling sounds from its throat.
Bai Li held her breath.
Until the sickening smell and heavy footsteps fade away,
[Hazard Sense] returns to a steady green.
She then slid into the shadow on the opposite side like flowing water.
I sensed a slight fluttering sound coming from above my head.
[Danger Sense] turned yellow again.
She immediately huddled under a half-collapsed newsstand, hiding herself completely in the darkness.
A huge night owl with a wingspan of more than two meters and feathers like rusty iron sheets glided silently by.
He glanced at the place where she had just stopped, and found nothing unusual before flying towards the higher ruins in the distance.
Bai Li walked and stopped like this,
Relying on keen perception and extreme patience, he struggled forward in the dangerous ruins of the night.
Although it is as slow as a snail, it is safer.
finally,
She saw the Good Neighbor convenience store on the corner.
The signboard is crooked, the glass door has long been shattered,
It's pitch black inside.
Bai Li did not enter rashly.
She carefully walked around the convenience store and observed it.
The nose twitches and the ears stand up.
Apart from the thick smell of dust and decay, there was no particularly strong scent of living creatures or powerful mutant beasts.
Hazard Sense also remains steady green.
Only then did she carefully squeeze in through a gap in the side window that was mostly blocked by shelves.
