Chapter 25 Waiting

Chang and Jing walked all the way towards the north. The military base was at the south of the city, so if they went further south, they would reach the uninhabited land.

There were very few people living in the area before the red fog, and now it was even more dangerous.

Therefore, Chang chose to go in the direction of the city center which was relatively safe compared to the south. However, Jing felt something unusual when they had just taken a few steps.

“Two 0.8 level organisms are approaching us.”

“0.8?” Chang squatted on his heels with Jing after he heard her and they hid in nearby bushes. “It seems we’re pretty lucky.”

Clenching the scalpels tightly, Chang carefully observed the surrounding through the gra.s.s.

“Are they right in front of us?” Chang pointed to the front with caution.

“Here, they’re moving slowly towards us.”

“Okay, thanks.” Chang nodded and held his breath.

Chang knew that even the slightest breath could reveal himself to animals that had acute senses. As a hunter, lurking was always an important skill.

Time pa.s.sed by and Chang coped with his nervousness before the hunt by counting his own heartbeats.

When he reached a hundred, Chang saw the gra.s.s at the far front slightly shake, and then two figures showed up.

“d.a.m.n.” When Chang saw them, he swore with a low voice and stood up from the gra.s.s. “Jing, we don’t need to hide in the gra.s.s; they’re two humans.”

“Really?” Jing also stood up as she heard Chang, “Are they two girls?”

“Yes.” Chang looked at them in the distance. They looked like they were seventeen or eighteen years old. Chang’s voice scared them, but since they could only see within three meters, they didn’t know where Chang was.

“Who is it? Is someone there?” It was scarier for them when they could see nothing but the fog, they stood rooted and shouted.

“We are just pa.s.sing by, don’t worry,” Chang responded.

“Let’s go.” Chang patted on Jing‘s head after he replied. He didn’t even pay attention to what they said afterwards. He left with Jing to look for a new prey.

However, the hunt didn’t go as smoothly as they thought it would be; they had still not found any suitable prey even after three hours of searching.

Within the 3 hours, they had encountered other humans 17 times, detected organisms above level 5 15 times and had also managed to avoid large groups of insects three times. Unfortunately, they just didn’t run into any prey they desired.

“It’s pa.s.sed noon, yet we still have nothing,” Chang sighed. They sat on the curb and leaned on two-meter-high bushes.

“Tired?” He rubbed Jing’s hair and asked.

“Yes, but I can bear with it.” She nodded; the cut on the face had formed a scab. “Are you hungry, Mr. Liu?”

“Hahaha, don’t call me that. I’m not that old for you to call me mister; I just graduated from high school.” Chang laughed when he heard Jing. “I don’t look that old, do I? Just call me Chang. And to answer your question, I’m very hungry!”
