Chapter 10

As time passed, Bai Lang had the illusion that the number of monsters around him was slowly decreasing. However, the occasional screams from the distance suggested that they might have been lured away by other survivors. The effect of drawing the monsters was excellent.

At this moment, he continued to rely on his somewhat unreliable "high-rise positioning method" to identify the direction of the "camp." Fortunately, he soon found a dilapidated bus stop sign on the roadside, which had a simple map. Using his phone's flashlight, he finally reoriented himself and locked onto the correct direction.

However, as he approached the street corner, he heard rustling sounds and gibberish coming from around the bend. Bai Lang immediately thought of the small monster he had knocked into a concussion.

...

He lowered his steps, held his breath, and slowly approached without making a sound. Then, he came to the corner, pressed against the wall, and peeked out. By the moonlight, he saw two small red-skinned monsters squatting on the ground with their backs to him, fiddling with something.

There was a slowly expanding pool of blood on the ground, flowing...

At that moment, a cloud in the sky dispersed, and the red light became brighter, increasing Bai Lang's visibility. He could now see a young man with glasses lying on the ground. The man's clothing was familiar; he had seen him on the rooftop of the building. He never expected the man to have met his end before him.

Seeing the man's pitiful state, with even one of his shoes missing, it was clear that he was beyond saving. Bai Lang felt a heavy heart, but then he felt a bit relieved when he noticed that his own shoelaces were tightly tied.

The two red-skinned monsters were extremely inattentive and were currently dividing the spoils. They were rummaging through the victim's backpack, fighting over the supplies and equipment inside. One of the red-skinned monsters was more muscular and had an advantage in size. He slapped his companion and then took the victim's weapon for himself.

...

Bai Lang carefully observed that this small alley was the shortest path to the camp. Whether he crossed the intersection and took a detour or directly turned the corner to attack the two monsters, he would have to face them head-on.

Unless he turned back and retraced his steps. But after all the hardships he had endured, even killing a zombie dog, he was not willing to turn back. Otherwise, wouldn't it have been for nothing?

Moreover, he had encountered two of these red-skinned monsters before. They were timid and cowardly, and as long as he hit them hard and intimidated them, they would retreat and flee.

Furthermore, with a ready-made meal (the young man with glasses) already there, they wouldn't risk getting hurt by chasing him. This had been proven by the previous monsters.

This trial had been open for less than an hour, and Bai Lang had faced numerous dangers, which had completely changed his mindset. He was no longer as fearful and panicked as he was at the beginning. Especially after killing the "zombie dog," his confidence had grown. He felt that he could take down anything he saw!

...

He stared intently at the backs of the two monsters, not considering retreating or sprinting to the intersection, but rather how to kill them.

He quietly unslung his backpack, felt the survival axe at his waist to ensure it could be easily drawn, and then gripped the bat with both hands. Crouching low, he crept closer to the two monsters, using roadside debris for cover.

The two monsters were enjoying their loot. Their actions showed a decent level of intelligence, and they could even communicate verbally. Although Bai Lang couldn't understand their gibberish, their behavior spoke volumes.

The smaller one was quick and agile, quickly rummaging through the backpack and then stripping the victim's clothes, pulling out cigarettes and a lighter from the pockets. The monster clearly knew what these were and how to use them. It opened the cigarette box, lit one for itself, and began to smoke contentedly.

This caught the attention of the larger one, who slapped the smaller one, stunning it, and then took the lighter and cigarettes for himself. He also lit one for himself and ordered the smaller one to continue.

...

As the two monsters squatted and smoked, Bai Lang had already crept closer.

Suddenly, the larger one tensed and reached back with its sharp claws.

This action startled Bai Lang, making him think he had been discovered. He immediately stopped, held his breath, and slowly retreated, hiding behind a rusted bus.

However, the larger one pulled out a dirty kitchen knife from its waist and began to point and gesture at the victim, as if preparing to butcher a pig.

The smaller one was also chattering away, reaching out to touch the victim's pectoral muscles, speaking rapidly, which annoyed the larger one, who slapped it again.

Bai Lang breathed a sigh of relief, realizing he hadn't been detected.

He adjusted his breathing, focusing all his attention on the two monsters, no longer feeling the pain in his leg...

After a moment, he leaped forward, sprinting to launch a surprise attack!

Bai Lang quickly approached the back of the monster holding the kitchen knife, gripping the bat with both hands, and delivered a powerful blow!

However, the two monsters were extremely alert. The moment he emerged from the shadows, they heard his footsteps and prepared to defend themselves. Unfortunately, the distance was too close, and they were too relaxed and in a crouching position, making it difficult for them to react in time. The larger monster could only turn and swing the knife in a desperate attempt to block.

The monster's defensive move was a split second too late, and Bai Lang's headshot missed. However, he quickly adjusted his attack and struck the monster's hand holding the knife with the bat.

Through the bat, he could feel the impact on the bones, and the monster let out a painful roar, dropping the kitchen knife far away.

...

At the same time, the smaller one rolled away from Bai Lang's attack range. It then produced a sharpened "screwdriver" and leaped at Bai Lang, trying to stab him with it.

Without hesitation, Bai Lang threw the aluminum bat. The bat spun in the air, forming a circle, and finally struck the monster's shoulder blade, interrupting its leap. The bat's handle, still spinning, miraculously struck the monster's face.

Although the force was reduced, it hit the eye socket, causing the smaller monster to roll on the ground, tears streaming down its face.

While throwing the bat, Bai Lang remained vigilant against the larger monster, moving his feet like a basketball player defending an opponent, taking small steps to stay close to the monster's back. As he drew the survival axe, he delivered a vicious kick to the back of the monster's knee, making it kneel again.

Without hesitation, Bai Lang unleashed his full strength, chopping down again!

Feeling the weight of the axe blade, he swung it in an arc, striking the back of the monster's head. Whether it was due to his superhuman burst of strength or a critical hit, the axe blade delivered a shocking sensation, a feeling of difficulty and resistance.

What a great axe!

The next moment, Bai Lang tried to pull the axe out, but it was stuck!

...

"Grgrgrgrgr...!"

Both Bai Lang and the smaller monster, who had just gotten up, were o（（⊙﹏⊙））o stunned! The victimized monster, on the other hand, let out a deafening scream that echoed through the night sky.

These red-skinned monsters were indeed bullies who feared the strong. The smaller one was terrified. After being hit by Bai Lang's "iron bat," it hesitated. Seeing the "demon king" deliver a brutal and vicious blow, splitting the head with an axe, it was even more frightened.

The larger monster not only collapsed instantly but also let out a pig-like scream, causing the smaller one to tremble.

Seeing Bai Lang leave the axe embedded in the head, tormenting his companion, the smaller monster panicked and jumped back, increasing the distance between them.
