The sewer under the ruins had long stopped repairing. The light was dim, and the air was rancid. From time to time, the sound of iron cans or low blows could be heard. It was impossible to distinguish whether it was caused by the rats or other unknown creatures.
Linda suppressed her breathing, inhaling and exhaling slowly, trying to minimize the movement. She looked around vigilantly. Years of hunting experience made her understand that the rats were not the only monsters that liked to hide in the sewer.
Under the interference of the darkness, her vision became narrower. She could only see the outline of things about five meters around her. If Dean was here, he would be surprised to find that the dark vision was not common to all hunters. It was also one of the supplementary abilities of his magic mark!
Linda's ears pricked up, sensing the lurking danger through the subtle movements around her, so she could not let her breathing sound too loud.
Squeak!
More than twenty meters ahead, the rats suddenly screamed in extreme pain. The screams soon stopped, and at the same time, there was a burst of splashing sound, and then it quietly quieted down.
Linda's heart tightened. She was not sure if it was a few rats fighting for food, or something else hunting them. However, she did not leave. Monsters that liked to eat rats were not that strong. As long as she was careful not to be attacked by them, she would be fine.
She stuck to the side of the wall and walked over with light steps. She was always on guard against the gutter next to her, in case something jumped out of the gutter and dragged her in.
After groping for hundreds of meters in fear, she finally found an empty corner. The road here had collapsed, and a faint light shone in. The stench of decay was dispersed a lot. The Bone-Biter Rats she encountered along the way all hid when they sensed her approaching. In terms of identifying the strength of the enemy, the weak Bone-Biter Rats were even more sensitive than the large monsters.
Linda climbed out of the sewer along the stones. The fresh air hit her face. She took a deep breath and looked back. Seeing that the group of Brainpecker Beasts did not chase her, she was relieved. She quickly left the street and came to a nearby building.
There were a few Undeads in the building. When they saw Linda, they immediately roared and rushed to her. She didn't even look at them. She slashed out her sword like a whirlwind, and the heads of the Undeads fell like autumn leaves.
She found a place to sit down. Feeling hungry, she suddenly remembered that she had abandoned the bag. Her face became gloomy, and her heart burned with hatred for Dean. She secretly said in her heart, "This kid smelled my scent and got rid of the Brainpecker Beasts. He should know that I'm not dead, so he will chase me. When he comes to me, it will be his death!"
Thinking of Nick and Rona, she could not help but clench her fists. "I will help you to avenge him. I will separate his body and bury it in front of your cemetery."
After a moment of hatred, she gradually restrained her hatred and calmly thought about it. "This kid has a lot of bad ideas. When he appears again, he will inevitably think of new insidious methods. If he uses monsters, then I will hide in the sewer or go to the neighboring region no 9. However, there are not many monsters that he can use. Brainpecker Beasts don't eat Undeads. He smeared Undeads powder and hid in the dark, so it was easier to attract them. If it was other monsters, then they would eat him first. This is too risky, so he should not do it a second time. "
"If he doesn't use monsters and only relies on traps, then he shouldn't know much. Although he killed Gale, but it was a pure sneak attack, not a trap."
"Moreover, from the beginning until now, it can be seen that his effective range is only a mere 100 meters!"
Linda's eyes were cold. She was aware of Dean's shooting range. She wanted to improve her shooting range, but it wasn't something that could be achieved in three to five days of training. Especially outside the giant wall, there weren't so many arrows for Dean to shoot. The training efficiency was extremely low.
"Within 100 meters, if he sneaked an arrow, then I would only need three seconds to catch up with him and behead him! Previously, there was a group of Brainpecker Beasts chasing after him, so I had to let him go. If I knew that Nick and the others would die, then I would have killed him even if I was seriously injured! "
There was a trace of regret in her heart, but soon she thought again, "He has no other way, unless he is really stupid enough to think that he can kill me with a sneak attack. However, instead of waiting for him to attack, it is better for me to let him attack and take the initiative in my own hands! Advantage is weakness. He used Gale's sense of smell to deceive Gale's judgment, so I can do the same. "
Thinking of this, a plan emerged in her mind.
…
…
Whoosh!
Dean ran quickly on the street, looking for the police station. Occasionally he smelled the smell of monsters, so he took a detour to avoid it.
"More than a dozen streets, but there is still no police station. Is the city's police station not in area no 7?" Dean frowned. Suddenly, he saw an open space in front of him. There was a tall barrier, about thirty to forty meters high, spanning hundreds of meters, and the middle part had collapsed. He did not know whether it was because of the rain or the baptism of war.
"Fortress?" Dean was surprised.
Although it was covered with vines, but the appearance left a deep impression on him.
Three hundred years ago, when the disaster broke out, all the countries in the world built large defensive fortresses in the refuge cities. These fortresses were located at the city's various refuge entrances, and also the second line of defense after the national defense was breached.
Now, as time passed, the old people died early, and the once tenacious and strong fortress had become mottled.
Dean was silent, after a moment, he suddenly thought of something and quickly ran towards the fortress.
Close to the fortress, Dean suddenly saw traces of artillery and bombs everywhere on the ground. One of the skeletons, the army green clothes had long faded, and it was still holding a machine gun in its hand!
Under the corrosion of the rain, the machine gun was rusty. Although the steel of the machine gun itself was rust-proof, but the nuclear radiation in the rain was too serious, and the other components of the steel had long been damaged and deformed.
When Dean saw the machine gun, his heart was pleasantly surprised. This defensive fortress really had a lot of munitions!
Picking up the machine gun, Dean gently broke the gun's shaft. He pulled out the bullet chain from the back of the machine gun. There were faint traces of rainwater on the bullets. He looked at it and quickly unscrewed the back cap of the bullet. There was dark gunpowder inside, but it could not be poured out. It was invaded by moisture and hardened in the bullet case.
With regret in his heart, Dean threw away the string of bullets and continued to move forward, ready to go into the fortress to look for more.
Along the way, there were piles of bones everywhere. They were all white bones, and even the Bone Biter Rats were too lazy to chew on them. Some of the white bones had small patterned snakes hidden in them, and their tails were exposed from the ribs.
