Chapter 18: Misfortunes never come singly.
In this situation, Shen Qiu's body will undergo a qualitative leap in all aspects, but facing an enemy that is simply invincible will mean death.
Therefore, after Shen Qiu got rid of the scavenger and was a little safer, he immediately took out the emergency medicine.
At this time, after the scavenger walked out of the back door of the building, its camera-like head turned around, immediately locked on the shoes left in front, and chased after it.
Two minutes later, the medicine began to take effect, and Shen Qiu's heaving chest gradually calmed down.
Then he took out his cell phone and took a look and found that there was no signal. He immediately turned off the cell phone to avoid making sudden noises.
Then he stood up slowly and went back to pick up the shoes.
After all, you can’t run fast without shoes, and you are prone to injuries. Once your feet are injured, it’s over.
After doing all this, he carefully groped towards the alley on the left. Before, it was because he was being chased and killed, but he had no choice but to run away.
Now that the situation is not so critical, we cannot do this.
Who knows if you will bump into other enemies while running.
Not long after, Shen Qiu found his way to the corner of the alley. He carefully poked his head out, only to see an intricate ruined residential area in front of him.
Some steel buildings are leaning against each other and hitting each other.
Many building remains were stained with black blood stains.
Shen Qiu's expression kept changing, and he was extremely shocked. What kind of city was this, and what terrible disasters had it experienced here.
There is another point that makes Shen Qiu feel very uneasy. How did he get here and how can he leave here.
To be honest, if possible, Shen Qiu would definitely want to go back and explore, looking for the truth and clues.
But it was obvious that turning back now would mean death.
Shen Qiu took a deep breath and calmed down his ups and downs. His top priority now was to survive first, and to survive, he needed weapons to defend himself.
Thinking of this, Shen Qiu looked at the ruined residential area ahead. Judging from the scale and style of the buildings, he could tell at a glance that the residents in this area should be relatively low-income residents.
The exploration value should not be as high as the buildings along the street.
But the danger is not necessarily lower than those of those buildings. After all, the terrain is extremely complex and it is easy to be tricked.
Also, the sky here has changed from dusk to night, and the visibility is constantly decreasing. Only in open areas, the visibility will be higher under the moonlight.
But Shen Qiu had no choice. With so many of them fleeing, they would definitely make a big noise.
There are probably enemies everywhere along the streets.
In the end, he chose to head towards the ruined residential area ahead. He walked very lightly and made as little noise as possible.
At this time, in the distance behind Shen Qiu, the sound of gunfire continued to be heard. If there were no accidents, it should be those killing machines killing those who did not escape.
The sound of killing continued to cast a shadow on Shen Qiu's heart.
He moved forward more and more carefully, and soon reached the edge of the ruined residential area.
Shen Qiu saw a broken hollow steel pipe on the ground at a glance. It was of a very medium size. He picked it up without hesitation and used it as a self-defense weapon.
He looked around and saw a relatively complete two-story house with an open door.
Shen Qiu's eyes moved slightly, and then he held his breath and carefully groped over.
Soon he cautiously entered the house. The house was full of swaying furniture. The furniture was seriously damaged, and many of them were torn apart by violence.
Shen Qiu squinted his eyes and looked around the entire living room carefully, looking for anything valuable.
At this time, he saw a lot of books next to the collapsed bookshelf.
Shen Qiu walked over, squatted down slowly, picked up a book and took a look at it. The words on the book were like tadpole writing.
He couldn't understand it at all. He had no way of judging what was written on the book, and he couldn't confirm its value.
After Shen Qiu thought about it again and again, he finally put the book back on the ground. He groped toward other rooms.
Shen Qiu came to the second floor and entered a bedroom. He first looked at all the blind spots and hidden areas.
After confirming that there were no dangerous enemies hidden in any corner and everything was safe, he began to search the bedroom carefully.
He opened the drawer of the bedside table and found a large pile of strange and strange things.
There were small electronic devices that were incomprehensible, jewelry with very special styles, some medicine bottles, some opened and some unopened, and some musty socks in the bottom drawer.
Shen Qiu picked up the small square electronic device, fumbled around, found a few buttons, pressed them, and put them back when there was no response.
If there are no accidents, it should be out of power.
As for those medicine bottles, Shen Qiu pondered for a while, and then put away a delicate-looking unopened medicine bottle, which might be useful in the future.
Of course, the main reason is that the medicine bottle is small and light, and it makes no sound when shaken.
Putting it in his pocket would have no effect, otherwise Shen Qiu would definitely throw it away without hesitation.
Shen Qiu then rummaged through the cabinet and pulled out piles of clothes.
Searching clothes one by one, he actually found a lot of things hidden in pockets.
There were special banknotes and gold jewelry found, which should be the most valuable items of this family.
Unfortunately, these were of no value to Shen Qiu, so he gave up without hesitation and left the bedroom to explore other rooms.
What he needs most now is guns. Without weapons, he will be unable to move.
Ten minutes later, Shen Qiu stood on the edge of the second-floor window, observing the external situation.
He felt a little depressed. After searching this house for a long time, he found nothing of value.
He took a few deep breaths, adjusted his mentality, and continued to look at the surrounding ruined residential areas. He quickly identified the next target to explore. It is a four-story building. Judging from the exterior decoration, it is relatively high-end. You should be able to search for something.
However, that residential building was more than a hundred meters away from Shen Qiu's current location. He needed to find his way there, which also took a lot of effort.
Shen Qiu pondered for a few seconds, then left the house and groped towards the residential building.
One step, two steps, three steps.
Shen Qiu is like a mouse, moving lightly and looking left and right.
It didn't take long for Shen Qiu to get closer to the residential building.
However, at this moment, when Shen Qiu reached a corner, he raised his feet and froze in place.
I saw a strange creature about three meters long lying around the corner. Its skin was covered with black spots, without a trace of hair. Its limbs and claws were extremely sharp. It had an ugly mouth like a chrysanthemum, with seven or eight scarlet tongues sticking out. , scarlet eyes stared at Shen Qiu.
At this moment, Shen Qiu's mind went blank, he was frightened, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
In his previous knowledge, the most ferocious creature he had ever seen was a tiger. He had never seen such a monster before, and the unknown fear instantly stimulated Shen Qiu's nerves.
Shen Qiu turned around and ran away. In an instant, the monster also reacted, got up suddenly, and immediately chased after him.
Compared with the mechanical scavenger, the monster chasing Shen Qiu has more explosive power and is more agile.
He caught up within a few seconds, his chrysanthemum-like mouth opened, and those sticky and disgusting tongues stuck out.
Sensing danger, Shen Qiu turned sideways and swung the hollow steel pipe in his hand away.
As a result, the monster's tongue was directly wrapped around the thrown steel pipe and rolled into its mouth.
Click!
The hollow steel pipe was broken into three pieces and spit out.
Although Shen Qiu escaped temporarily, he could not change his current dangerous situation.
