Chapter 2 The Path of the Hunter

"I Am Legend" is a doomsday world after the outbreak of the virus.

Under the influence of the virus outbreak that Xin Sheng could not remember the specific name, most of the more than 6 billion humans on Earth were infected by the virus, and few survivors were found.

Will Smith plays the black protagonist as an American virologist.

Because he was born with immunity to the virus, he survived the disaster with "lucky" and lived alone in the originally prosperous downtown New York. Only a German shepherd was accompanied by him.

“40,39…”

After answering Xin Sheng's question, the system continued to count down coldly, and the mechanical sound without emotional fluctuations woke Xin Sheng up from panic and fear.

"Huh~Calm down, calm down!"

The holographic projection of the novice gift package is still suspended in front of Xin Sheng, and the huge red countdown clock reminds Xin Sheng to hurry up.

Forced himself to temporarily abandon his messy thoughts, Xin Sheng must make the most suitable choice for the current world in the last half minute.

"I am a legendary world with almost no human beings. It is barely safe during the day, but when it comes to night, the photophobic creature Night Demon, who was originally hiding in the dark, would go out to hunt."

Night Demon, a modified creature after being infected by a virus.

Rather than saying it is afraid of ultraviolet rays, their skin will be severely burned when it comes into contact with ultraviolet rays.

During the day with sufficient ultraviolet rays, the night demon will hide in every corner of the city to sleep. The biggest test for surviving humans after the sun sets.

Since Xin Sheng can stand in the downtown area of ​​New York without any damage, it means that he is at least immune to the airborne transmission of the virus.

As for whether he can still persist in not changing after being scratched and bitten by the Night Demon... Xin Sheng definitely doesn't want to try it personally.

"Consider the issue of injury and infection, first of all, the soldiers who focus on close combat are excluded."

Xin Sheng turned his attention to the assassin and hunter: "Assassin who is good at lurking assassination and small weapons, a hunter who is good at setting traps, and a hunter who is proficient in ranged weapons... Hum?"

When clicking on the Hunter's holographic projection template, Xin Sheng noticed a detail.

A mighty canine crouched at the foot of the hunter's holographic projection.

Xin Sheng asked thoughtfully: "System, will you attach a hunter to a hunting dog?"

System: "19...Yes, the hound is also counted as one of the hunter's equipment, and the hound species will be randomly generated."

"Um……"

Xin Sheng thought for a moment: "Considering the rareness of humans today, there may still be a lot of canned food left in the city, but food still needs to be considered more."

"If you choose a hunter, you can at least hunt yourself in the wild to get food, so as to ensure you don't starve to death."

As humans disappear from the city, the originally prosperous urban area gradually becomes forested, and uninfected wild animals begin to enter the uninhabited urban life.

In the movie, Will Smith once encountered a large flock of wild deer and lions in the city.

"If you decide, choose the hunter!"

Making up his mind, Xin Sheng raised his hand without hesitation and pointed it on the hunter's holographic projection.

System: "15... The host chooses the hunter, is it confirmed?"

"confirm!"

"14...the basic knowledge of career is instilled, and the equipment is being generated."

Under the system's realistic function, a hunting suit that was very similar to the hunter's holographic projection appeared on the ground in front of Xin Sheng, and a big golden dog suddenly appeared beside him.

The sudden increase introductory knowledge of hunter profession in his brain made Xin Sheng's forehead a little swelling and pain. He subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows to relieve the pain.

"1...The energy is exhausted and it enters dormant, looking forward to meeting the host again."

When Xin Sheng woke up after sorting out the knowledge in his mind, the time and space travel system was no longer moving.

He looked down at the dog beside him, and Xin Sheng and the hunting dog with only yellow fur stared at each other.

The basic knowledge given by the system made Xin Sheng recognize the species of this hound.

The randomly generated dogs are not internationally famous star hounds such as Du Gao, Pharaoh and German Shepherd, but dog breeds native to China.

Taihang dog, also known as Taihang Mountain Dog, was active in Taihang Mountains as early as 3,000 years ago.

Wild Taihang dogs need to compete with wild animals in the mountains for food and territory all year round. They have great combat power and are born with strong hunting ability.

The Taihang Dog given to Xin Sheng by the system was obviously domesticated, but Xin Sheng could still see the unruly wildness in the eyes of this very quiet dog.

Of course, there is also obedience and dependence on the master.

The whole body of this Taihang dog is golden in color, tall in body, well-developed and wide in chest muscles, strong limbs, and curly tail high on the back. Even if he squats on the ground honestly, he can feel the wild deterrence from the dog.

The domesticated Taihang dogs inherited the fierce and aggressive nature of their ancestors who were seeking life in the mountains. They are good at jumping and running in the jungle of the mountains and hunting, and are one of the excellent hunting dog breeds native to China.

Xin Sheng squatted down and looked straight with the unnamed Taihang dog. The loyal dog subconsciously waved his tail to show closeness.

He raised his hand and rubbed the head of the Taihang Dog. Xin Sheng thought about it for a while and said, "Let me give you a simple and easy-to-understand name first."

"You will call it Dahuang from now on, do you remember?"

"Woo!"

The trained hunting dog rarely barked loudly without permission. It seemed that he understood Xin Sheng's words. Dahuang roared in a low voice and urged Xin Sheng's arms intimately.

Smiling and patted Dahuang's dog head, Xin Sheng quickly withdrew his smile when he stood up again and looked at the distant sky solemnly.

The sun hanging from the far end of the horizon can only see the last bit of afterglow, and the night demon's hunting time is getting closer and closer.

Taking off his dirty nightgown, Xin Sheng quickly changed into the leather hunting suit generated by the system.

After stepping on the brown hunting leather boots, Xin Sheng tried to jump and crouch on the spot.

This unsightly hunting suit is sturdy and durable, very conducive to movement, and should be allowed to be used for a long time.

In addition to hunting suits and hounds, the system also comes with a set of long-range weapons.

The system provides options such as guns, crossbows and bows. The optional guns are bolt-action single-shot hunting rifles.

Considering the issues of ammunition supply and noise seducing the enemy, Xin Sheng did not choose to hunt rifle.

The way to use the crossbow is very simple and suitable for novices, but it is not so easy for experienced hunters. Xin Sheng decided to choose a hunting bow with a higher upper limit.

For novices, the best choice should be a modern composite bow that can save effort through pulleys. The actual output power of this bow is only about one-fifth of the pound.

However, the composite bow is very expensive, with many parts, which is extremely troublesome to maintain. In today's apocalyptic environment, there are really not necessarily enough conditions.

Xin Sheng finally chose a 40-pound Hoyt shark recurve hunting bow.

It’s not that Xin Sheng doesn’t want to choose a larger pound, after all, the greater the pound, the greater the power and range.

After being instilled with a series of hunter's introductory knowledge and skills by the system, Xin Sheng's brain was excitedly shouting, "I'm going to rua!", but his body coldly told the reality, "No, you don't."

To use a larger-pound hunting bow, Xin Sheng needs systematic exercise to strengthen the muscle groups of his hands, shoulders and back.

The knowledge given to him by the system includes relevant scientific training skills.

Putting the hunting bow and the attached arrow behind him, Xin Sheng said to the dog beside him with a serious expression: "Dahuang, there is no time for us to get to know each other. We must find a suitable place to stay before dark."

The creeping church cannot be expected, and Xin Sheng and Dahuang need to find a new shelter.

"Then we have to rely on your help. We need to find a 'clean' house without bloody smell as soon as possible, and hold on tonight before considering other issues."

The rhubarb, which is manifested by the system, is intellectually higher than ordinary hunting dogs. After Xin Sheng talks it twice and makes a demonstration, he quickly understands the meaning of his master.

"Woo!"

Focusing nervously on the setting sun, Xin Sheng followed Dahuang and began to search for the temporary shelter needed at night.

"Oh!"
Chapter completed!
