Chapter 22 Cat-like Lynx
A sharp silver light flashed in Luo Xiaran's eyes. Luo Xiaran knew the danger and quickly drew her sword to defend herself. With a "clang" sound, something was blocked and then jumped away again.
Although there was a moon in the night sky, the faint light could not let Luo Xiaran see clearly what had just attacked her. However, although that thing was very powerful, it was very small.
Luo Xiaran was alert and back to back with Cui Jiu. She slowed down her breathing and did not dare to move her numb arms. Sure enough, her body was very dangerous now. Even if she would not be infected with the virus, she would still face the danger of being torn to pieces by zombies.
After a sharp scream, the shadow attacked again. The rustling sound of the wind came with the arrival of danger. Luo Xiaran fell backwards, propping up the ground with her left hand and swinging a knife with her right hand. A blood mark appeared on Luo Xiaran's arm, and blood oozed out.
At this time, Luo Xiaran and Cui Jiu saw it clearly. It was a black lynx that looked like a cat. The lynx was on all fours, with its tail raised high and its hair standing up. It stared at Luo Xiaran and the others with its teeth bared, and a dangerous light flashed in its eyes.
Although it was unclear why there was such a lynx in the town, and in Luo Xiaran's memory, the animal's mutation occurred in the first month after the end of the world began.
It seems that everything has changed since the moment she came back. Luo Xia Ran sighed while watching the lynx vigilantly, waiting for the lynx to attack again.
The lynx is too small and fast. With her current weak supernatural powers and physical strength, there is really no better solution.
Just when Luo Xia Ran hesitated, Cui Jiu decisively raised the gun and shot at the lynx. However, because there was no time to install the silencer, there was a "bang bang bang" sound.
Seeing Cui Jiu launch an attack, Luo Xia Ran retreated to the side and was on guard carefully. Because in Luo Zhaoxian's heart, Luo Xia Ran would not shoot, so Luo Xia Ran naturally had no gun in her hand.
Cui Jiu was a retired soldier, and his shooting speed was very fast. He forced the lynx into a dead corner little by little, making it unable to escape. When it was almost time, Cui Jiu drew his knife and slashed at the neck of the lynx that rushed towards him with swift and powerful force.
Fortunately, although the lynx had undergone a mutation, its body was still very fragile, and it only took a moment for the lynx to fall to the ground and be unable to move. Cui Jiu stepped forward carefully and swung his knife again, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at the lynx's head.
"Uncle Cui, go open the door first." Luo Xiaran walked up and said while thinking. As far as she knew, mutant animals, regardless of size and level, all had animal cores, so she needed to verify it.
Cui Jiu did not doubt him and walked towards the house. After Cui Jiu turned around, Luo Xia Ran used a knife to cut open the lynx's head and searched with the tip of the knife. Although the lynx's head was not big, the beast core was too small and the light was insufficient. Luo Xia Ran took about two minutes to find a transparent beast core the size of a fingernail.
No wonder she hadn't found the dangerous existence with her mental power before. This lynx was also a mental system. Fortunately, the lynx could not use superpowers, otherwise she and Cui Jiu might have been killed here.
Luo Xia Ran thankfully put away the beast core and then walked into the house. The house was full of boxes of all sizes. Luo Xia Ran didn't care so much. She began to touch them one by one and put them into her backpack.
"Uncle Cui, I remember there is a tobacco and alcohol factory in the town, right?" After collecting the things, he turned around and saw Cui Jiu standing at the door, not looking away. Luo Xiaran was even more satisfied with Cui Jiu's behavior, so he told him his next goal.
