Bang! Chen Xu had been holding the gun in his hand all this time, and when he found a green-skinned monster standing behind him, he was so frightened that he raised his hand and shot it.

A ball of green blood burst out from the monster's forehead.

Bang bang bang bang……

He kept pulling the trigger and did not stop until all the bullets in the gun were emptied, leaving only the sound of the firing pin firing in the air.

“Hoo—hoo—hoo—”

His chest rose and fell sharply, and he fell to the ground, his head almost deformed, and light green liquid gushed out of the wound. It was obvious that he was dead.

"Fuck, I'm scared to death."

As he spoke, he gradually relaxed. His right hand was still shaking a little, and he had trouble changing magazines.

He had never thought that he would behave so badly when facing danger.

Just now, his mind was completely blank and shooting was purely a subconscious reaction.

Fortunately, he had practiced shooting well and instinctively shot at the head. Otherwise, given the opponent's size, hitting the body might not kill it directly.

"Isn't he just a green gorilla? What's there to be afraid of?"

He felt somewhat ashamed of his behavior just now and shook his still shaking right hand as if to vent his anger.

The monster's body shape and walking posture were a bit like a gorilla, but its face was uglier and its sharp teeth made it look more ferocious.

"We have to leave here quickly. The gunshots just now may attract other monsters."

He finally replaced the magazine for his pistol, and without daring to stay any longer, he quickly searched the scene and found the supplies he had exchanged before coming in.

Then, he looked at the large barrels of water and felt a bit troubled. Bullets, medicines and compressed food were not a big deal as they could be stuffed into that oversized backpack.

There is no way to get water. There is a full 1,000 liters of water here. It is packed in ten 100-liter barrels, and it will take at least a van to transport it.

"Put it here for now."

Chen Xu did not hesitate for too long. He gritted his teeth, took everything he could take with him, and left.

He was wearing half an exoskeleton arm, and his center of gravity was a little off, which made him uncomfortable, causing his walking posture to be a little strange. However, it was too late to care about it.

He didn't walk far, but went straight to the nearest surviving building of more than ten floors.

The gunshot just now would not only attract the monster, but it might also attract the woman. So, we can't go too far, lest we miss her.

"Before dark, we must find that woman, and then find a place to stay."

He felt a sense of urgency.

This place is different from the last dream. There are monsters here, and it is much more dangerous. That woman is not like him, who can exchange weapons to come in. If he is unarmed and encounters that kind of green gorilla, he will die.

If the companion he chose died on the first day of entering the dream, it would be really bad luck.

After a while, he entered the building and walked up the stairs.

He didn't dare walk too fast and had to always pay attention to his surroundings to ensure his own safety.

The structure of the building was still well preserved, but the walls were badly damaged. He could hardly imagine what had happened here.

It took him more than ten minutes to reach the rooftop.

After confirming that there was no potential danger on the rooftop, he put away his pistol, replaced it with a rifle, walked to the edge and looked out.

"No?"

He walked around the rooftop and looked in all four directions, but found nothing, neither people nor monsters.

"Could it be that he's hiding?"

However, there are still some low-rise houses preserved below, so there is a high possibility that she is hiding.

"Logically, she should be nearby."

He thought to himself, otherwise, there would be no need to provide this function of bringing in a companion.

How could they meet if they were too far away? So, he was sure that the woman was nearby.

"Maybe he was frightened by the gunshot."

He realized that the problem before him was, after finding her, how could he convince her that he had no ill intentions?

Copying an unknown person to come in would also be troublesome. Anyone who came to such a dangerous place for no apparent reason would be wary of a stranger.

He sighed, it turned out that nothing can be perfect.

It is relatively easy to copy someone you know and connect with them, but if you develop feelings in a dream, it will be really difficult to face it after waking up.

But it’s hard to connect with people you don’t know.

Forget it, I'll just have to see what happens when the time comes.

As for copying a male friend, he had never even thought about it. Who would want to spend half a year with a friend of the same sex in a dream? That would be too weird.

He thought about it, walked to the direction where he first appeared, and stood there guarding. That was also the area where she was most likely to hide.

Now, we need to confirm where she is hiding.

…………

Chen Xu switched the exoskeleton arm to rest mode so that he could save energy and not get so tired.

Looking at the ruins before him, a feeling of sadness gradually welled up in his heart.

He couldn't help but think of his last dream. This was how he felt when the heavy rain that lasted for twenty days in a row flooded half of the city.

As a member of the human race, the feeling of watching the modern civilized world being destroyed is indescribable.

"What a pity. None of the ways I prepared to make money can be used."

He suddenly sighed and felt very regretful.

After waking up from the first dream, he went to a forum he frequented and asked what ways there were to make money in similar situations.

It was also on that forum that he first learned about a thing called "scratch-off lottery tickets".

After learning that it was a regular welfare lottery issued by the national lottery department that was opened and redeemed immediately, he was so upset that he beat his chest, thinking what a huge opportunity he had missed.

If he had known this before, he would have become rich long ago. It would have been easy for him to buy a house and a car, but paying off the family debt should have been easy.

Because he had missed such an opportunity, he made sufficient preparations before coming in this time. If the situation was like the first dream, he would definitely take down all the lottery stations in the city.

But when I came in, I found myself in a ruin.

Moreover, judging from various signs, it is most likely not on Earth.

Naturally, all those money-making plans fell through.

Suddenly, he heard some movement at the stairs. His nerves tensed up and he raised the gun in his hand.

A green shadow emerged from the stairs, and he was about to pull the trigger almost as a conditioned reflex. The next moment, he finally saw the other person's full appearance and his pupils shrank.

Bang! A gunshot rang out, and the green shadow fell down.
