Chapter 4 Get Out!

"What's wrong with these beasts? Back off...back off..."

"Don't let them out, hurry and lock them up!"

"Let go of me, don't...don't come near!"

The intermittent screams came from outside the door. Obviously, the energy of the apocalypse had corrupted the fighting dogs' will. No, "corrupted" is not the right word; "awakened" would be more accurate.

On rainy days, swallows fly low, and during earthquakes, pigs and dogs become restless. Compared to humans, who are at the top of the food chain but are becoming increasingly degenerate, animals are often more sensitive to nature.

The eerie energy invaded the entire world. Apart from elite monsters like hellhounds, other creatures also underwent significant changes, becoming ferocious, violent, bloodthirsty, and cruel.

The docile rabbits trapped in cages might bite off your fingers, the lazy cats on the sofa might use their sharp claws to pierce their owners' necks, and the dogs labeled as loyal might tear their owners to pieces in an instant.

Unlike the mutations of insects or the zombie forms of humans, the changes in animals were more three-dimensional. It was a reverse atavism. It took humans hundreds or even thousands of years to suppress the ferocity of these creatures, only to have them reclaim their brains.

After the last screams faded away, the entire arena fell into a strange atmosphere.

"Creak..."

Chen Feng pushed open the tightly closed door.

The smell of blood.

Unlike the previous blood scent mixed with noise and cheers, the arena was now filled with a chilling smell of death.

Hundreds of humans lay in pools of blood, displaying expressions of panic, fear, confusion, and bewilderment. Their lives were frozen in these expressions. But more than these expressive bodies, there were more bodies that were nothing but flesh and blood.

Mangled limbs, severed arms, internal organs, and fresh blood...

In a corner, a body surrounded by coins caught Chen Feng's attention. Faintly visible on the body was a colorful tattoo. The neck was bitten off, the eyeballs devoured, and the plump right leg was gnawed to the bone. Money? The boss who was counting coins a moment ago had turned into a corpse in the next moment.

Money? Houses?

These terms that had occupied humans' efforts throughout their lives had completely vanished in the destruction of the arena, with hundreds of people dead and the boss dismembered.

"Woof woof..."

A mournful howl broke Chen Feng's thoughts. Dozens of bloodstained monsters appeared before him. They were undoubtedly the fighting dogs from earlier, now covered in blood, their fur standing on end, especially their eyes, bloodshot and filled with a wild ferocity.

Compared to before, these dogs that used to please humans had now become a group of merciless killers.

These perpetrators of slaughter had not left. At this moment, they clearly saw Chen Feng as their next target.

"SI...xk...po..."

The lesser demon stepped forward.

The pile of rotten flesh that was the lesser demon was about four meters tall. It stood up straight, opening its mouth ferociously, emitting a dizzying stench that even covered the surrounding blood scent.

"Get lost!"

Chen Feng stood in front, looking at the just-ended lives of over a hundred vicious creatures. His expression was solemn, and there was a strange calm and indifference about him.

The survival of the fittest.

From now on, this world would not show any special care for those who showed a hint of pity. On the contrary, timidity and cowardice would trigger the arrival of death.

A bizarre scene.

Dozens of ferocious, bloodthirsty fighting dogs, a rotten and ugly creature, and Chen Feng, who appeared somewhat frail in comparison. Nevertheless, in the presence of the lesser demon, Chen Feng's momentum continued to rise.

"Woof woof..."

A long-bodied fighting dog whimpered, and the others stopped their advance. Finally, it deeply glanced at Chen Feng and then turned and left.

"So quickly, a leader has appeared?"

Chen Feng looked at the retreating figures, his brow furrowed. "This fighting dog has taken control of the pack in just a few minutes. It clearly has the potential to become an elite monster."

It wasn't until the fighting dogs were completely out of sight that Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Unconsciously, his back was already drenched in cold sweat.

Although the lesser demon's overall strength surpassed that of the fighting dogs, it was still alone and inevitably had flaws in protecting itself.

It was a complete gamble just now.

Fortunately...

Chen Feng was lucky to have scared off these ferocious creatures.

The arena fell silent once again, but Chen Feng did not consider it as a stronghold. Aside from the fact that the fighting dogs might have a change of heart and come back, the smell of blood here was too strong. Once the zombies and insects caught wind of it, they would surely come here.

He had to leave.

Chen Feng's eyes were filled with determination.

With the apocalypse upon them, the entire city of J was plunged into a massacre. Even with the lesser demon, Chen Feng was in danger. After all, he had just awakened, and his strength was far from being able to slaughter indiscriminately. Before that, he needed to find a safe place.

Compared to scattered forces, the national power was the only one capable of resisting this apocalypse.

In the early stages of the apocalypse, ordinary bullets still had some killing power. After a period of resistance and fighting, seven days later, the military forces would occupy this place.

Unlike other security agencies, the military's unity and obedience to orders make this profession unparalleled in lethality in every era. In the early days of the apocalypse, the military forces will completely take the initiative, dividing China into several war zones. Those belonging to civilian positions will be eliminated, and even promotions will be replaced by military positions.

From ordinary privates to generals.

In addition, numerous small forces rise up, including sects, gangs, mercenaries, and warbands. Among them are ambitious individuals seeking to carve out their own territory, selfless monks dedicating their lives to helping refugees, and those who have lost their humanity, inflicting pain on others for their own pleasure.

In short, the people are suffering, grievances are soaring, and countless demons and monsters are causing havoc in the world.

Of course, these are all stories for another time. For Chen Feng, who controls this world is not his concern. The most important thing right now is how to survive these seven days.

Chen Feng collected himself and then walked out of the room, attempting to find a nearby convenience store.

Seven days.

Before finding a suitable fortress to hide in, he must first stock up on some food.

As for the dog kennel behind him, and the people who died inside, no one will pay attention, and no one will care.

In this already chaotic land, the one thing not lacking is carnivorous animals.

It won't be long before monsters come to feast on these corpses.
