He immediately gave up the opportunity to shoot and looked at Xiaoshi.
The tamed Xiaoshi would not disturb me when I was doing something important. There must be something special going on for it to be like this now.
After Chen Ming looked at it, Xiaoshi quickly climbed down the tree where Chen Ming was hiding.
He kept circling under the tree, looking very impatient.
The more Chen Ming looked, the more he felt something was wrong. He didn't care whether the hunt would be successful or not, and followed Xiao Shi down the tree.
"What's going on?"
The little stone circled in place for a long time, and seeing that Chen Ming could not understand what it meant at all, it suddenly ran towards the river for a distance.
Chen Ming's attention was once again drawn to the group of cattle.
Chen Ming took a few glances but couldn't see anything wrong.
But just when Chen Ming was about to look away to look for Xiao Shi.
The herd of cattle that had just been searching for food in the river suddenly began to twitch all over, lost their balance in the river, and created large splashes of water.
There was something quite wrong with this scene.
Chen Ming immediately raised his pistol and pointed it in the direction of the herd of cattle.
Just then, a misty rain fell without warning.
The rain quickly created a thin mist on the river bank, making it difficult for Chen Ming to tell what was happening to the bull beast in the water.
Just as Chen Ming felt depressed in the fog, the splashes in the river suddenly weakened.
The cattle beasts all stood up tremblingly.
But what was different from before was that their simple and honest appearance had completely disappeared.
Instead, there are dull eyes, a grinning mouth, drooling saliva and a restless body.
It was exactly the same as the empty jellyfish and purple-tailed deer that Chen Ming had seen before.
"What on earth is going on?"
Chen Ming couldn't help but ask a question to the air.
My feet unconsciously moved away from the river bank.
The small stone that had just jumped out jumped back at this time and climbed onto Chen Ming's shoulder along the protective suit.
The cattle beasts, which had already gone crazy, suddenly looked towards the bushes where Chen Ming was hiding without any warning and rushed towards him like mad dogs.
This strange scene made Chen Ming's hair stand on end, and he emptied the magazine of the gun in his hand almost instantly.
But among this group of bull beasts, which were as big as hippos and had gone completely crazy, only one fell.
The remaining cattle beasts seemed to not feel the pain of being hit by bullets at all. They continued to charge towards Chen Ming without any slowdown.
The number of cattle in the herd was close to thirty. Without sufficient time and absolute geographical advantage, it was impossible for Chen Ming to kill them all with the small pistol in his hand.
Chen Ming didn't have time to figure out what was going on.
When a round of bullets is empty and has almost no effect, the only option is to escape.
But the rain that had just fallen made the ground very slippery, especially the mud in the woods, which was shallow and deep, making it impossible for Chen Ming to run faster.
The cattle beasts behind seemed to be in their element in such weather.
Their fat bodies moved without any sense of sluggishness, and they could even catch up with Chen Ming in no time when running on land.
If they had not been moving too fast in the river, Chen Ming would have been able to gain some distance from them.
Otherwise, Chen Ming would have been trampled to death by the crazy herd of cattle.
At this time, the panic on Chen Ming's face caused by the sudden situation had gradually dissipated, and his steps on the slippery mud ground became much steadier.
But as the herd of cattle behind him got closer and closer to him, Chen Ming had no choice but to speed up again.
The rain is getting heavier.
It was becoming increasingly difficult for Chen Ming to see the situation in the distance. He could only rely on his recent impression to choose the most stable path forward.
But not long after, the gentle slope of a small hill suddenly appeared in front of Chen Ming.
On a sunny day, Chen Ming could easily go up and down this gentle slope a dozen times, but on rainy days, this gentle slope is definitely the place where accidents are most likely to happen.
Chen Ming could only choose to move forward.
The rain was getting heavier. A sudden flash of lightning made Chen Ming's eyes blurry. Amid the thunder that followed, Chen Ming stepped on empty air and fell on the gentle slope.
The moment Chen Ming fell, he reached out and grabbed the purple orchid grass on the ground to prevent himself from sliding down the slope.
He immediately adjusted his body, maintained his balance, and stood up again.
Wiping off the mud and water on his protective suit and helmet, Chen Ming looked over his shoulder.
Xiaoshi's body was also covered in mud and water. His pair of little paws tightly grasped the collar of Chen Ming's protective suit, not daring to let go at all.
Chen Ming took a deep breath and used his last bit of strength to climb up the gentle slope.
When standing at the highest point of the gentle slope, Chen Ming suddenly stopped.
Covered in mud and looking a little disheveled, he turned around and looked at the herd of cattle that had climbed halfway up the gentle slope behind him.
“Here I come.”
Chen Ming's words had just fallen.
Suddenly, a sharp sound of breaking through the air came from the southwest.
A black shadow that almost covered the entire hill fell from the sky.
Chen Ming’s spaceship has arrived.
The hatch of the spacecraft that landed next to Chen Ming opened, and Xiao Shi rushed in immediately.
Chen Ming took a final look at the herd of cattle that were still desperately charging towards him, and then boarded the spaceship.
No one knew where Xiaoshi had run off to, but Chen Ming didn't have time to take care of it for the time being.
While taking off his muddy protective suit, Chen Ming connected to the two machine guns of the spacecraft.
An unprecedented sense of security arose spontaneously, and this was the confidence that the spacecraft gave him.
The spaceship took off again, and the machine guns on both sides opened fire at the herd of cattle below without warning.
The flames that seemed extremely dazzling in the dim environment brought an endless metal storm towards the crazy herd of cattle.
The herd of cattle that had just posed a life threat to Chen Ming all fell down within just a few seconds.
But Chen Ming still poured fire on the cattle with suppressed anger.
It was not until the spaceship sent a warning that it had run out of bullets that Chen Ming suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief.
When you have emotions, you should vent them on these things as soon as possible.
After calming down, Chen Ming first expended some of his mental energy to refill the bullets in his machine gun.
Then he controlled the spacecraft and landed it on a gentle slope.
In the rain which has already subsided a little.
Chen Ming saw the black corpse fluid flowing out of countless broken bodies, flowing along the rain towards the direction of the river in the distance.
Now he had no way to stop it and could only let the corpse fluid pollute the river water.
Chen Ming shook his head and found a cow corpse that looked half-decent.
He took out the knife he always carried with him and pried open its brain.
As before, the bullbeast's brain looked to have been rotten for a long time.
Clearly, when I looked over there just now, all the cattle and beasts were normal, but in the blink of an eye, they all turned into this horrible look.
Chen Ming couldn't help but recall the scene that just happened.
There were nearly thirty bull beasts, of different shapes, genders and sizes, but they all went crazy almost at the same time.
And Xiaoshi's sudden impatience before was as if he had noticed something in advance.
Chen Ming doesn't believe that there are such coincidences in the world.
The source of these crazy animals is definitely more than just a virus.
