Volume 1: Treading the Dead Chapter 23: Leopard Cat
The uneasiness in Su Chen's heart became more and more intense. Even if he held two imitation pistols tightly in his hands, with 14 steel balls that could be fired at any time, he could not relieve this uneasiness.
Seeing that Su Chen's face was getting worse and worse, Su Qing's casual attitude began to change. She thought that her shooting skills had been greatly improved, but she was still far behind Su Chen, and in real combat, she was still far weaker.
Yu Su Chen.
Su Chen's expression as if facing a formidable enemy had a considerable impact on Su Qing's state of mind.
Su Chen, who successfully advanced, is no longer an ordinary person or an ordinary immune person. As he advances, his intuition becomes more and more real. It is not so much intuition as a prediction of crisis, allowing him to make decisions in advance.
Be prepared accordingly.
After having the experience in the supermarket, Su Chen chose to wait in place instead of running around. Su Qing did not agree with this. The sound of gunshots attracted the surrounding zombies, and they stayed in place like fools. If it weren't for Su Qing
Qing trusted him enough that she wanted to leave right now.
"Don't you want to show off yourself? I'll leave these zombies to you." Seeing more and more zombies around him, but the feeling of uneasiness did not subside at all, Su Chen looked around vigilantly and said to Su Qing.
"I've been waiting for you to say this for a long time." Su Qing responded, raised her gun and fired.
With Su Qing taking action, Su Chen no longer needed to worry about the threat posed by the zombies around him. He calmed down, seriously felt the uneasiness in his heart, and tried to find some clues.
This move lasted only a few seconds. When he had no clue, Su Chen's whole body suddenly became cold. His confused consciousness suddenly became clear. He turned around quickly and saw a black shadow standing on the building about fifty meters behind him.
Running around.
This black shadow is very large, and its moving speed is not comparable to that of speed-type zombies. After being promoted, Su Chen has also slightly improved in dynamic visual capture. Even so, he can only barely see clearly.
He could not tell the true appearance of the black shadow, and he was still not sure whether this was its maximum speed.
Its appearance looks like a cheetah, and its dark fur makes people mistake it for a black panther at first glance. However, Su Chen is sure that it is definitely not a cheetah because it has an innocent cat face.
In this apocalyptic world, zombies can run rampant, so the emergence of such a mutant species is not unusual, but Su Chen is not sure whether it is a leopard that mutated into a cat face, or a cat that mutated into a leopard body.
Su Chen didn't care about this, because leopards were more powerful than cats, so Su Chen called this mutated creature leopard cat for the time being.
This leopard cat has a faster movement speed than ordinary leopards, and its short-term explosive power is definitely beyond the ability of ordinary people to react. No wonder Su Chen's intuition kept reminding him that fighting it on this empty street was simply seeking death.
behavior.
"Quickly go! Go to the corridor opposite." Su Chen shouted softly, raised his hand to deal with the two zombies in front of him, grabbed Su Qing's arm, and ran towards the corridor entrance on the opposite street.
Su Qing was pulled by Su Chen's arm but she didn't react yet. She wanted to throw away Su Chen's hand, but she didn't dare. She had to speed up so that Su Chen would run with less effort.
"Shut up." Su Chen shouted loudly.
Just as Su Qing was about to ask Su Chen what was going on, she was frightened away by Su Chen's sudden shout. She shut her mouth, not knowing where she had offended him.
Under Su Chen's guidance, Su Qing discovered that she could run so fast, but her speed was much slower than Su Chen's. Su Chen was taking care of her and slowed down her speed.
The leopard cat was getting closer and closer to him. Su Chen gently pushed Su Qing away and shouted softly: "You go first, leave me alone."
Su Qing turned around and was about to say something. When she turned around and saw the ferocious face of the ocelot, she was immediately frightened to the point of weakness in her legs. She quickly turned around and ran forward in a hurry.
Su Chen ignored her, raised his hands slightly upward, and the muzzle of the gun began to spit out blazing flames. The zombies closest to Su Chen were shot through the heads with steel balls, but it had no effect on the ocelots that were getting closer and closer to him.
Su Chen fired while retreating. As soon as the steel balls were empty, he popped out the magazine, grabbed it from his pocket, and quickly filled it with steel balls.
This series of actions was not cumbersome. After Su Chen became proficient, it did not take him much time. But just in this moment, the ocelot in front of him became even larger. He could already clearly see the whiskers on the ocelot's face. He
What he mistakenly thought was an innocent face turned out to be as ferocious as a demon.
The ocelot did not directly attack Su Chen. It jumped down from the roof of the five-story building and tore into pieces the corpse of the zombie that Su Chen had killed before.
This ocelot eats its own kind...and even jumped from the height of the fifth floor without any incident. The soft pads on its soles are incredible.
Its jumping power is astonishing, and its speed and balance are even more terrifying. However, Su Chen is certain that its defensive ability is only slightly stronger than that of defensive zombies at best, and it is impossible to block the steel ball shots. The premise is that Su Chen can
Hit it.
The ocelot was not in a hurry to attack Su Chen. After it landed, it used the autumn wind to sweep away the fallen leaves and swallowed alive the dead zombies on the street one by one.
Of course, it doesn't eat the whole thing. Its stomach is not that big. It only eats their heads. Maybe the zombies' heads are a great supplement to it.
Zombies can exist in this world because they have brains. It can be seen from this that if mutant creatures want to mutate again or grow, they may have to eat the brains of other mutant creatures. Of course, this is just Su Chen's guess. The zombie illustration is in
There is no clear explanation in this regard.
The period of time when the ocelot was devouring the zombie's brain was Su Chen's opportunity. He thought for a moment and did not plan to retreat. The ocelot at the moment was only a first-level mutant creature. If it were allowed to devour the zombie's brain again, it would probably mutate into a second-level. Then
At that time, Su Chen probably didn't dare to go out.
Just do it, Su Chen gestured to Su Qing who had arrived at a safe place, and concentrated on it.
The ocelot is different from the opponents Su Chen has encountered in the past. It is very powerful and has great advantages in speed, strength, agility, defense, etc. Su Chen's only advantage is that he has firearms.
, plus wisdom.
The unconscious zombies on the street began to scatter in all directions. They seemed to be avoiding the ocelot's attack. These zombies, who had no intelligence and no knowledge of fear, seemed to instinctively want to stay away from the ocelot.
Su Chen didn't know what this meant. He only knew that he had to solve the crisis at hand. Otherwise, the ocelots he encountered might be stronger the next time he went out. Even if he made up his mind to attack, it would be a waste of time.
Strangely, although he is at a disadvantage now, he still has the strength to fight.
The ocelot didn't care about these moving zombies, nor Su Chen beside it. It quietly fed on the brains of the dead zombies, as if everything else had nothing to do with it.
Zombies love to eat living things, especially fresh flesh and blood. This ocelot is an exception. As long as there are enough zombie corpses on the ground, it doesn't seem to be interested even if Su Chen slowly passes by it.
This is just Su Chen's guess. He would not be stupid enough to get close to the ocelot. With the ocelot's speed and close range, Su Chen would be dreaming about escaping.
The cheetah has always been a large animal known for its speed in the animal world. The current ocelot is faster than the cheetah he knew. Once he arouses hatred and does not deal with it quickly, the final outcome will definitely be bad.
Su Chen tentatively aimed his gun at it and found that it did not have the animal's sense of danger. Even if Su Chen pointed the gun at its head, it still fed on the zombie's brain and did not make any other reaction.
Su Chen took note of the surrounding terrain so that he could retreat quickly in case of an accident, although the possibility of a successful retreat was almost impossible.
Su Chen didn't know how many zombie brains it could hold in its stomach, and whether the digestive system and circulatory system of the mutant creature could still be used was also a question. However, these had nothing to do with the elimination of ocelots. Su Chen just thought about it for a moment.
gave up.
The ocelot's sharp teeth chew the zombie's head. Once the zombie's brain is devoured by it, it will spit out the remaining remains. It is quite picky and does not eat everything like zombies.
The muzzle of the gun kept moving with the ocelot's head. The ocelot ignored Su Chen, who was twenty meters away. Every time it ate a zombie brain, it would completely tear their bodies into pieces. It seemed that it still had the sadistic tendencies of beasts.
Su Chen hesitated in his heart. He was looking for a good opportunity, but he didn't know what would be a good time. No matter how he looked at this ocelot, there were flaws everywhere, but Su Chen vaguely felt that even if all 14 steel balls were fired, it would not be enough.
To save its life, he trusted his intuition, so although he was helpless, he still waited for the opportunity like a fool.
Su Chen waited on the spot for five minutes. The ocelot was about to sweep away all the zombie corpses. Su Chen still didn't find any good opportunity. He was now convinced that the opportunity could not wait and could only be created by himself.
The best way to create timing is to use steel balls to fuck the ocelot. This may be a bad idea, but it may also be a good idea.
No matter whether things are good or bad, there is always a chance to change. Once Su Chen has decided, he will not change.
The muzzle of the imitation pistol moved slightly, and Su Chen's slightly trembling hands gradually stabilized. He made up his mind and pulled the trigger.
The moment the hot steel ball came out of the chamber, it made a sweet chirp, and then shot towards the ocelot's forehead along a fixed track at an alarming speed. The ocelot's forehead, which was bigger than the washbasin, suddenly turned, and the steel ball was supposed to hit the ocelot's forehead.
It shot out pieces of blood on its forehead, but it hit a building in the distance.
