"Go to hell, Siberian hamster! Do your hamsters stand three meters tall? This is a damn giant brown bear!"
Everyone present, except for Wen Wen, wanted to point at Gidro and curse him. But before they could blame Gidro, they first had to survive.
Except for Luan Xing and the gloomy short man, most of the others were slowly retreating. Two people had their legs so weak from fear that they sat directly on the ground, while another two were playing dead on the ground.
Facing a hungry brown bear, there were several interesting countermeasures in the federal civilian sector.
The first was to pretend to be dead, which might increase the chances of the bear leaving them alone. But unless the bear was full or not in the mood to attack, this was just courting death.
The second was to run faster than one's companions. This could indeed help one escape from the brown bear, but… there was no place to run in this broken place. Those corridors clearly had issues, and whatever lay beyond the corridors might be even more dangerous than this brown bear.
The third method was quite impressive: confront the brown bear head-on and roar at it loudly, displaying the human race's status as the spirit of all things.
As for fighting this three-meter-tall behemoth, perhaps the three of them would empty their magazines, and this creature would still be alive and kicking, ready to tear them apart.
Therefore, the actions of the four were quite risky. However, the three who were holding guns were not ordinary people; they had all fought more terrifying monsters with real weapons and were not overly panicked.
As for Geng Xingshu, he quietly touched the wide sleeve of his right hand. He was wearing the exoskeleton armor he had recently researched, which was a rare practical test.
The brown bear blocked their path. It first roared a few times to show its threat. When the few people got close enough, it could no longer bear it and prepared to pounce in Geng Xingshu's direction.
Among the four, Geng Xingshu appeared the most timid, so it naturally decided to attack him first.
Just as it was about to move, Luan Xing suddenly fired a shot, and the other two also fired simultaneously. The bullets accurately landed on the brown bear's head. As the brown bear's head was drenched in blood.
If Luan Xing hadn't advocated for giving the guns to experienced people at that time, this encirclement wouldn't have even hit the brown bear's head; it would have been good enough if it hadn't hit Geng Xingshu's head.
Yet, even so, the brown bear did not fall immediately. It still roared and charged towards Geng Xingshu.
It couldn't understand why it suddenly felt so much pain. It was just spurred on by pain to unleash its ferocity, wanting to tear the enemy in front of it to shreds!
The security captain and Luan Xing's faces changed drastically, but they were unable to save Geng Xingshu in that situation.
Li Wei, the gloomy short man, held the dagger upside down and adopted a starting posture, intending to engage in close combat with this rampaging brown bear, but he stopped as soon as he started.
Because he saw Geng Xingshu reveal a mechanical arm covered in dark blue exoskeleton!
Geng Xingshu took a deep breath, his legs feeling a bit weak, but he still forcibly planted himself in place. Then, with his eyes closed, he punched the brown bear directly in its mouth.
The brown bear's teeth were directly broken by the steel, and its jaw was dislocated and deformed. After the punch, the massive brown bear swayed, took two steps, and fell to the ground.
The previous gunfire had some effect. The brown bear was merely making a final desperate effort driven by its animal ferocity, and Geng Xingshu had merely delivered the final blow.
Geng Xingshu stared blankly at his hand, then cheered with joy. He hadn't expected his punch to be so powerful.
Then came the intense pain, feeling as if all his bones were about to fall apart. Colliding with such a massive beast, even if his exoskeleton gloves could withstand it, his body couldn't.
Fortunately, the first equipment box delivered contained some medicine and bandages. A woman who had worked as a caregiver in a hospital helped Geng Xingshu apply medication. With medication and a couple of days of rest, Geng Xingshu would recover.
During this time, Geng Xingshu constantly looked after his gloves, knowing that in such an environment, these exoskeleton gloves were his foundation for survival.
After the four hunted the brown bear, everyone rushed to congratulate them, with all sorts of praise raining down. Especially the man with the gold-rimmed glasses, who declared that from then on, he would follow Luan Xing's lead, showing no trace of his initial attempt to stop their actions.
After the brown bear incident, everyone finally truly realized that this was a brutal survival game, and any carelessness could lead to the threat of death.
And Wen Wen observed and remembered the expressions of everyone.
The first day passed quietly and smoothly. Everyone managed to start a fire, divide the brown bear's carcass, roast some for food, and try to make dried jerky from the rest.
This brown bear weighed over 300 kilograms. If its meat was utilized properly, it would be enough for them to last for a month.
However, Luan Xing was not optimistic. The masked man had said that five portions of 'food' would be delivered every day. After the first day's food was dealt with, it would be enough for the twenty of them for a month. Then, what would the future food be?
It would be terrifying predators!
