Turning on the TV, Lin Xi found that some TV stations still had signal, but every channel was broadcasting the same thing.
The general content was that if the monster suddenly appeared, everyone should not panic. Hide at home, close the door, and do not go out. The army will organize forces to eliminate the monster, and everyone will live in peace and safety.
In addition, if someone commits a crime in the chaos, the army and the police will immediately shoot to death!
These were actually words to calm the hearts of the people. Monsters had appeared all over the world. How could the military have the ability to exterminate all the monsters?
The apocalypse had come, and the army was indeed the strongest force against the monsters. Evolved people could not compare.
But it was undoubtedly naive to put all hope on the army.
How many people could the army protect?
Moreover, the army and the police could not maintain order in the streets full of monsters. Killing the criminals was just a weak threat. It was foreseeable that the society would become chaotic in the coming days, or even completely collapse.
What was worth noting was that the TV mentioned "evolved people", calling for evolved people to take the initiative to contact the local government and the army.
There were certain benefits to establishing a relationship with the government. After all, it was cool under a big tree. But there were also disadvantages. There was even the risk of becoming a lab rat and being pushed to the experiment table. It was better to be alone and free.
His body and mind were very tired. He turned off the TV and began to sleep.
Not long after he closed his eyes, Lin Xi began to dream. In the dream, he was in a ruined city. There were corpses everywhere. Most of them were young and strong men with weapons. There were also women, the elderly, and children.
The faces of all the corpses had all kinds of terrifying expressions. Shock, despair, emptiness … These faces with all kinds of expressions suddenly separated from the corpses. The skin of the faces danced in the air and gathered together to form a huge, twisted, crying face.
Lin Xi suddenly woke up.
He only felt that his body was wet and cold. It turned out that he had unknowingly been covered in cold sweat.
"Ruins … the future of the city?"
This strange dream made him very uncomfortable. Lin Xi looked at his watch. It was only nine o'clock at night. There was still a long time before the next day.
Just as he was lying on the bed, his thoughts running wild, he suddenly heard panicked shouts coming from outside, as well as a burst of chaotic movements. Frowning, he walked to the window and looked out. There was a monster on the road in the residential area. It was a giant!
The giant was chasing a fat man. Not far away, there was a bejeweled woman in pajamas who was equally fat. As she ran, she let out ear-piercing howls and curses.
"You bastard, you've been fooling around outside for so long. You want me to open the door for you, and you even lured a monster over. If you die, you should die alone. Don't drag me down with you, you bastard …"
The street lights of the district illuminated all of this. The entrance of a giant posed a fatal threat to all the residents. What was even more frightening was that the gates of the district were open, and a new giant could rush in at any time!
Countless people were cursing the couple in the room.
After all, the man was too fat. After running only a few dozen meters, he was already out of breath. His legs gave way and he knelt on the ground. He used his hands to support himself and tried to get up, but the giant had already caught up to him.
"Don't, don't …"
Seeing the giant's head stretching towards him, the man opened his mouth, which was big enough to swallow a cow, and revealed his thick, yellowing teeth, a hoarse scream of despair came from the man's throat. A foul smell came from his buttocks, and he was so scared that he lost control of his bladder.
The teeth bit down, and the man was directly bitten in half!
Black and red organs and yellow intestines flowed out of the cut abdominal cavity and onto the ground, splattering everywhere.
"Ah …"
The bejeweled fat woman's eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
Lin Xi immediately picked up the dark sword, opened the window, and jumped out. The giant in the district had to be killed. At the very least, he had to make sure that this was a safe place for people to rest. Also, he had to close the gate of the district.
It was time to test his weapon!
Under the cover of the night, Lin Xi crouched down in the direction of the giant. Seeing that the monster was focused on chewing the fat man's body, he sheathed the dark sword on his belt and took out the Bloodthirsty Hook from the inventory space of his phone.
His left hand grabbed the coiled pitch-black chains, while his right hand grabbed the bottom of the blood red hook, where the chains were connected. Lin Xi took a deep breath, gathering all of his strength, and then his right hand fiercely flung forward, throwing the giant blood-colored hook in the giant's direction.
"Clatter …"
Accompanied by the sound of the chain, under the illumination of the street lights, the giant hook left a dark red trail, and flew eight to nine meters away. Then … it fell at the feet of the giant.
Sweat instantly appeared on Lin Xi's forehead!
Although he had enough strength to throw the Bloodthirsty Hook, he was not proficient in it. It seemed that it would not be easy to hit a target with the hook like the butcher in the game.
Just as he was about to pull the chain to pull the hook back and throw it again, a large and powerful hand grabbed the hook.
"Not good!"
A huge force came from the chain, and it actually wanted to drag him over!
His legs exerted force, his center of gravity sinking. Lin Xi's calves immediately sank into the earth. His arms fiercely pulled, the heavy and thick chains immediately becoming perfectly straight, the chains even releasing creaking, creaking noises, as if steel wires were being twisted, the noise making one's teeth ache.
The sound was especially loud in the silent night.
He and the giant each pulled on the chain, and began a tug-of-war of strength!
In the residential area, some of the residents who were observing the situation outside through the windows saw this scene, and their eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
"He's wrestling with the giant?"
"Who is that?"
"I don't know, the street lights can't see his face clearly, but he looks like a child."
"A child can tug of war with a monster? You must be joking! "
"Could it be … that he's the powerful evolved person mentioned on TV?"
"There's an evolved person in our area!"
"That's great!"
Every family was discussing that there was a "strong person" in the residential area, a strong person who could fight against the giant. This undoubtedly made everyone who lived here feel excited.
Lin Xi didn't know what the others were talking about, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care — the current him was using all his strength to fight against the giant, but he was still being pulled over bit by bit — he had to admit that he was no match for the giant in terms of strength.
With a roar, he pulled with all his might, and the chain was pulled toward him by a few inches. In the next second, he let go of his hands.
Like a black python flipping its body, the chain bounced back and slammed into the giant's body. The huge impact caused the skin to split open, and the tail of the chain even hit the giant's eyeball, causing it to explode, and the pupil to spurt out!
The giant lost his balance of strength, and lost control of his center of gravity, fell backward onto the ground, stirring up a lot of dirt and dust.
Lin Xi's figure rushed into the dust like a gust of wind. His right hand held the hilt of the sword, and he strode to the side of the fallen giant's head. With his left hand, he lifted the head slightly, and the dark sword slashed at the back of the giant's neck.
As expected of the weapon that he spent most of his wealth to exchange for, it cut through the giant's rough skin without any hindrance. It was as smooth as using a hot knife to cut butter!
The sword cut through the skin, went deep into the muscle, and cut through the thick muscle fibers. The clear vibration was transmitted along the wrist.
"I got 100 points."
The nine-meter tall giant's corpse turned into light spots and dissipated.
"It's dead! The monster is dead! "
"So cool!"
At this moment, there were exclamations of joy coming from many houses.
Lin Xi was panting heavily. The tug-of-war with the giant just now was too much, and his temples were throbbing. But he understood that now was not the time to rest, so he put the bloody hook into his inventory and quickly ran to the gate of the residential area.
Luckily, no other giants successfully closed the iron gate.
After witnessing this scene, the residents of the residential area finally felt relieved.
"Hero …"
Actually, the walls and iron gate of the residential area could only block normal giants. If there were mutated species, giant beasts, or special giants, it would be impossible to block them — a giant that appeared in the school could even knock down a twelve-story school building!
The residents would not think of these. The walls and iron gate were like a protective umbrella, separating them from the wandering monsters on the streets, creating a sense of security.
Lin Xi, who showed great strength and closed the gate of the residential area, naturally became a hero in the hearts of the people.
Quietly returning home, the first thing he did was to take a shower — although Lin Xi was not a clean freak, every battle would make him covered in dust, and it was not very comfortable.
The next day, the sun rose.
With the sun shining, the light became brighter, and the people became more courageous. Some residents of the residential area went to the place where Lin Xi and the giant fought last night to check. The giant's corpse had disappeared, but the marks left on the turf when the two wrestled were still there.
"Amazing!"
"He's not just amazing, Jian Zhi is abnormally strong!"
"Evolved human … How does one become an evolved human? Why don't I have such a good life … "
Looking at the gully on the ground, the people sighed. The fat woman who had fainted yesterday and escaped with her life was also among them, spitting saliva everywhere, without a hint of grief for her husband's death.
"Who is that person? We can't see clearly at night. Let's go and find him. Thank you, it's good for everyone to have a good relationship with an evolved human." An old man said.
"We must ask him how he became an evolved human, and share his experience! Maybe we can also become evolved humans! "
"That's right!"
The fat woman's suggestion immediately got the approval of everyone. The group of people immediately started to move, knocking on the door one by one.
Lin Xi lived on the second floor. At this time, he had just woken up and was washing his face when he heard knocking on the door.
Through the peephole, he saw more than ten residents of the residential area outside, so he opened the door.
"Child, do you live alone?" a kind-looking old man asked kindly.
"Yes."
"Did you hear anything yesterday?"
Lin Xi shook his head. "Yesterday, I was watching TV. There was a monster outside. I was a little scared, so I hid in my bed and slept before it got dark. Is there anything you need?"
"No, it's like this, yesterday …"
While the old man was talking, the fat woman next to him interrupted, "Old Xu, why are you talking so much nonsense? This child has soft skin and small arms and legs. How could he be the strong human who killed the giant last night? Don't waste time, there are still many houses to ask. Find him quickly, and we can get more information. "
"Hehe, we won't bother you anymore."
The group of people turned around and went to knock on the neighbor's door again.
After closing the door, Lin Xi's expression became indifferent. He didn't want to expose his identity and bring these people any misgivings. That would be too troublesome. Moreover, in this world, he didn't even have confidence in protecting himself, so what qualifications did he have to protect others?
He casually got some food and prepared the bloody hook, the dark sword, the hard leather armor, and the oak shield.
It was time to hunt.
The giant was the prey, and he was the hunter!
