Chapter 5: Get out of town, man-eating wild dogs!

10087 Killing Town West Gate;

Luo Chen followed the main road connecting the Central Square westward and soon arrived at the very edge of the town.

The Slaughter Town as a whole has a square layout structure.

There are four gates.

Located in the east, south, west, and north.

Luo Chen took the West Gate, and before him was a wall made of sharpened wooden stakes, arranged side by side.

It was about four to five meters high and looked quite sturdy.

In any case, ordinary people certainly couldn't climb over such a wall directly.

Directly facing the road he was on was a double-leaf solid wood gate.

The gate frame was about six meters high, significantly taller than the surrounding wall, and there was a small door on the right edge.

Normally, the main gate was closed, and one only needed to use the small door for entry and exit.

After all, the main gate was heavy and inconvenient to open and close.

This gate, including this section of the wall, primarily served as a defense to prevent monsters that occasionally passed by from entering the town's boundaries.

Of course!

Its function was also limited to monsters of weaker strength.

For those with powerful strength.

It actually provided little protection.

However, generally, there wouldn't be particularly strong monsters wandering around the Slaughter Town's vicinity.

Most were weak, early-stage novice monsters, basically used to help these newcomers adapt to the ecology of the Slaughter Land.

When Luo Chen arrived at the West Gate, the small door on one side had already been opened.

Clearly, someone had already been here before him.

Passing through the open small door, Luo Chen looked out to a desolate landscape.

In the distance, a faint mist hung.

The visibility would not exceed one kilometer; further than that, only some hazy dark shadows could be seen.

"So desolate?"

Although Luo Chen had prepared himself mentally, when he saw this desolate scene, he couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart.

This time, he had three tasks to accomplish upon leaving the town.

The first was to explore the environment around the town.

The second was to search for necessary supplies.

A Level 1 Safe House didn't even have water, let alone food.

So, if he didn't want to starve to death, it was best to go out and find something edible to bring back.

The third task;

This could actually overlap with the second task.

It was to find killing coins to upgrade the Safe House.

Luo Chen didn't know where to find these killing coins, so he could only take it one step at a time.

He opened the mini-map;

At this moment, the mini-map was mostly pitch black.

Only the 10087 Killing Town behind him was a lit-up area, with two flickering green dots within it.

The larger one represented Luo Chen's Safe House.

The smaller one represented himself.

"There's no information, so I can only pick a direction and walk to see what happens."

Luo Chen immediately picked a random direction, holding the white-grade dagger from the novice gift in one hand, and quickly walked towards it.

......

After more than ten minutes;

Luo Chen still hadn't seen anything of value.

As far as he could see, there were only sparse, low-lying trees with few leaves, and occasionally some strange objects scattered across this wasteland.

There was a washing machine, scrapped to just an empty shell;

There was a car frame, only half remaining;

He could even see half a roof buried in the ground, with only a portion exposed to the air.

Whenever Luo Chen encountered these things, he would go up to check them.

He wanted to see if there was anything valuable.

Unfortunately!

Without exception;

They were all empty-handed.

"Why does this Slaughter Land look like a junkyard?"

Luo Chen couldn't help but complain.

Just then, Luo Chen saw an old-fashioned, single-door refrigerator lying on its side in the distance.

The refrigerator looked quite intact.

So Luo Chen quickly sped up and walked over, wondering if there would be any gains?

But just then—

Bang!

Suddenly, a loud bang came from the other side of the refrigerator.

It was the sound of the refrigerator door, which was originally closed, being violently knocked open from the inside by something, hitting the ground with a heavy impact.

Luo Chen, who was originally walking quickly forward, immediately stopped and then cautiously looked over.

Rustle—

A faint sound of footsteps came.

Immediately after, a dark shadow emerged from behind the refrigerator.

A dog?

Luo Chen looked at the large black dog in front of him.

Its body was skin and bones, its mouth full of sharp teeth, dripping with sticky saliva.

Its eyes, moreover, emitted a chilling bloody glow!

Woof woof—

After a few angry barks, the large black dog instantly lunged towards Luo Chen.

Fortunately, Luo Chen had raised his guard early after seeing that the large black dog was somewhat abnormal, so he immediately activated his Swift Travel skill just before the large black dog lunged.

Instantly;

Luo Chen's movement speed directly increased by 25%!

He dodged the opponent's lunge a second before the large black dog pounced.

Pfft~!

While dodging, Luo Chen didn't forget to aim the dagger in his hand at the large black dog's abdomen and fiercely stab it.

The sharp dagger instantly tore open the large black dog's flesh, revealing its stark white bones inside, and blood splattered out on the spot.

Howl—

The large black dog also let out a painful wail after landing.

But even so, its ferocity remained undiminished as it turned and continued to lunge at Luo Chen.

Bang!

This time, Luo Chen directly kicked the lunging large black dog away, and at the same time, rushed forward and directly plunged a dagger deep into the large black dog's neck!

He struck and retreated immediately.

Luo Chen gave the opponent no chance to harm him.

Relying on his faster speed, the ravenous large black dog didn't have time to scratch Luo Chen with its sharp claws before a deep wound was cut into its neck by Luo Chen's dagger.

Blood gushed out as if it were free, splattering everywhere.

Luo Chen actively retreated at this point, widening the distance between himself and the large black dog, giving it no chance for a dying counterattack.

About a minute passed like this.

The large black dog on the ground stopped moving completely.

"Finally dead!"

Luo Chen finally let out a sigh of relief.

It was only then that he remembered he could check the basic information of this large black dog.

He had been a bit too nervous just now and had forgotten.

【Man-Eating Wild Dog】

【Introduction: An unranked beast that has eaten human flesh and possesses an extremely strong desire to attack!】

【Note: After killing, you can try to find an attribute crystal within its body, but don't hold too much hope, after all, this is just an unranked beast!】

Before him, the basic information of the large black dog appeared.

Only then did Luo Chen realize that this was a Man-Eating Wild Dog, and no wonder it wanted to pounce on people as soon as it saw them.

It turned out it had eaten too much human flesh and had grown to love the taste.

At this moment;

Luo Chen also noticed the annotation content after the introduction.

He looked at the corpse of the Man-Eating Wild Dog on the ground, hesitated for a moment, then walked forward and used the dagger in his hand to cut open its abdominal skin.

Whoosh—

Suddenly, all the internal organs spilled out of its belly.

A foul stench instantly permeated the surroundings!

Luo Chen suppressed the nausea in his heart, reached in, and fumbled around inside.
