Returning back to the shelter, Lorne turned on the monitoring system at the door and watched the rain drain from the entrance.

The water was gathering near the entrance of the water pipes, and was slowly sent to the cave on the other side. The small puddle at the entrance had already disappeared.

The drainage problem that had been bothering Lorne was resolved.

“Hmm?”

Lorne suddenly realized that some strange animals had appeared on the monitor. At first, Lorne thought that the nearby animals had wanted to hide from the rain and found his shelter.

However, after Lorne stared at the monitor screen for ten minutes, he noticed something strange about these creatures. Each of them had a gaping mouth.

The key was that these animals had very short limbs, but moved very quickly. He could not think of how these creatures exerted their strength..

Maybe because of the rain for the past few days, many fish appeared near Lorne’s technological city, and these strange creatures seemed to have their eyes on these live fishes.

Lorne could see the bloodthirsty eyes of these monsters through the camera.

As time passed, a monster finally could not hold back and charged towards the fish in the water.

Immediately, the other monsters charged forward. The water that was originally clear became blood-red.

Those strange creatures seemed to be here for food. After devouring most of the fish, most of the monsters left quickly.

In the ditch, Lorne saw only a monster slowly hunting the remaining fish.

Lorne did not leave immediately. He planned to wait for the remaining monster to finish eating and leave before going out to take a look.

After waiting for two hours, the strange creature finally finished eating the fish in the ditches outside.

Just as Lorne thought that this creature would escape like its main group, the monster slowly walked towards the ruins of trees that had collapsed.

The strange creature crawled in, then stopped moving, leaving its short limbs exposed.

“Is it going to settle down here? No, Boss, I still want to go out! How can I leave if you stay here!”

Seeing the monster’s actions, a trace of despair flashed across Lorne’s mind.

“No, I have to find a way to kill this monster. I can’t let it settle near my door.”

If he were to attack this monster recklessly, the effect should not be too great. Even if his gun could hit the monster, there was no guarantee he could kill it.

If he could not kill the monster in one shot and let it escape, he might be in danger.

The best outcome was that there would always be a creature that hated him outside his residence wanting to take revenge on him.

In the worst case scenario, after this monster was injured, it would immediately go and look for its main team. Then, he would be blocked by a group of monsters and unable to leave the shelter.

Although he could slowly become stronger in the shelter, this was clearly not Lorne’s style.

The key was that it was too boring to be alone in the shelter. He could only stay in a fixed area every day. This was undoubtedly quite lonely.

Even though he had Whitey to play with him, it was still quite uncomfortable. Therefore, how to kill the strange creature outside the door became an issue that Lorne had to solve.

This monster was very agile. If he wanted to kill this monster, he had to use the advantage of guns to kill this strange creature from afar.

Lorne went to the R&D Center and took out the M4A1.

Just as he was about to reach the door, Lorne returned and picked up the Desert Eagle. In the face of danger, any caution was not excessive.

Lorne planned to kill the monster before it discovered him. Otherwise, he would be in danger.

Slowly opening the door to the shelter, Lorne bent over and carefully walked behind a mound.

He took the M4A1 from behind and aimed at the monster lying in the ruins. After a few days of non-stop gun training, Lorne’s marksmanship had improved greatly.

After some time, Lorne pulled the trigger.

Creeee

The bullet struck the monster’s body and it cried out in pain.

The monster, which was originally lying on the ground, suddenly jumped up. It covered its injured area and wailed loudly. Its eyes kept looking around, seemingly trying to find the attacker.

It was a pity that the monster’s head was buried in the ruins, or else he could have shot its head.

Lorne suddenly felt like he was locked on by the monster’s gaze. He was shocked and quickly rolled to the side.

But the moment he rolled away, he still felt a pain in his back.

After rolling, Lorne realized that the small mound he was hiding in had suddenly dispersed. The monster was lying where he had been hiding.

It turned out that while Lorne was in a daze, the monster had accurately located his location and quickly attacked him.

If he had not dodged earlier, he would have been severely injured by this monster. Fortunately, he believed in his sixth sense.

Although his back was scratched by the monster, the injury did not affect his movements. He had still misjudged the monster’s speed though.

Previously, he could see that these monsters were extremely fast on the surveillance screen. Lorne thought that he had already overestimated these monsters as much as possible, but he did not expect that he had still underestimated them.

After confirming the monster’s location, Lorne did not hesitate. He quickly raised the muzzle of his gun and aimed at the monster lying on the ground and pulled the trigger.

Although Lorne’s accuracy was not good, he had a lot of bullets. The bullets formed a barrage that quickly covered the monster.

Although this monster moved very quickly, bloody holes began to appear on its body. Its body was unable to resist the impact of the bullets.

Criiii

Due to the continuous attacks from the bullets, the monster’s voice became deranged. It began to stop dodging the bullets and instead sped up, trying to rush to Lorne.

Lorne watched as the monster began to run towards him. He immediately pulled some distance. Right now, he only needed to slowly exhaust the monster. There was no need to fight it to the death.

Click

As time passed, Lorne’s ammunition was exhausted, and the sound of bullets being emptied came from his rifle.

However, the effect was not bad. There were more and more wounds on this monster’s body, and its speed was not as fast as before.

Lorne smashed the M4A1 towards the monster that was running towards him.

The monster did not expect the person to throw his weapon at it.

Caught off guard, the monster was struck by the rifle. The wounds on its body were still bleeding and its originally sharp teeth were now in a mess.

The monster struggled to get up. Its short limbs were slowly swinging the blood away as it stared at Lorne.

At this moment, Lorne’s stamina had already decreased by a lot. After running continuously, his entire body was drenched in sweat.

But he forcefully held on with his powerful willpower.

If he showed any signs of being unable to hold on, this monster would immediately attack him.

Suddenly, the monster’s body tensed up, and its short limbs bent slightly. Using the momentum from the ground, the large mouthed monster bared its remaining sharp fangs and pounced at Lorne.

Panic appeared in Lorne’s eyes, and the monster seemed to understand Lorne’s expression, and its eyes revealed a hint of satisfaction.

Bang!
