"Swish!"

Just as the Grizzly Bear crouched, the black shadow sped past the original position of the Grizzly Bear's heart, crashing into the opposite car. Surprisingly, it returned again and charged towards the Grizzly Bear on the ground.

But at that moment, Li Chenzhou's arm had already been raised, and at the same time, he looked up at the sky, his entire body pressed against the ground. A cloud of black mist instantly spread out, enveloping the Grizzly Bear, Li Chenzhou, and the black shadow.

"Bang!"

The gun in Li Chenzhou's hand finally roared. Almost at the same time, the black mist disappeared, lasting only about 0.3 seconds.

The black shadow also reappeared with the disappearance of the fog of war, but at this time, the black shadow had changed direction, flying towards the front left of the Grizzly Bear.

It was knocked away by the bullet. The reason why Li Chenzhou pressed his body against the ground was to find an angle. If he had just shot directly, he would still have hit the black shadow, but would have pushed its body near the Grizzly Bear's head.

"Squeak!"

The black shadow also let out a scream, and it was not dead yet. Li Chenzhou heard the scream and immediately pulled the trigger again, firing two more bullets at the black shadow.

But unexpectedly, the black shadow was able to turn in the air. Although it was hit by another bullet, it dodged the other one. At the same time, it finally fell to the ground.

Just as it touched the ground, the black shadow twisted its body again, as if it was about to escape, but then, its body suddenly paused, staying there in a posture ready to leap.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Li Chenzhou didn't hesitate any longer, taking steps forward while pulling the trigger, firing three consecutive shots all on the black shadow's head, which was only the size of a ping-pong ball. Under the huge impact of the bullets, its head finally shattered, and Li Chenzhou put down his gun!

"What... what is this thing? A rat?"

Getting up from the ground, the Grizzly Bear, his face still pale with shock, stared at the rat-like creature whose head had been smashed and asked.

"Hamster, a mutated hamster!"

Li Chenzhou used his foot to poke the corpse of the black-gray hamster and said, then looked up at his surroundings.

Seeing Li Chenzhou's movements, the Grizzly Bear immediately turned around, drew his pistol, and carefully observed the surrounding movements.

Li Chenzhou had said before that there would be mutated beasts, and that the mutated beasts were very powerful. But the Grizzly Bear had not experienced it personally. At the Qin Ting Hotel, the only animals he saw were the goldfish in the fish tank in the lobby. That thing didn't seem to have changed much.

And when he left the city, he was unconscious all the way, so naturally he didn't know anything. In Wu Village, all the creatures were summoned away, and the Grizzly Bear didn't have the chance to see the mutated creatures. He didn't expect that the first time he encountered one, he almost lost his life.

"Hamster... is that the thing that costs two or three yuan and runs desperately in a round cage?"

Looking around, there didn't seem to be any movement. The Grizzly Bear finally couldn't help but look at the mutated hamster on the ground again and asked in disbelief.

The mutated hamster's head had been smashed by Li Chenzhou, so naturally it couldn't be identified, but at least its body was the size of an adult's fist. This was considered relatively large even for a rat. That little hamster... could it grow so big?

"Yes! That's the thing!"

Li Chenzhou reached out and picked up the corpse of the mutated hamster, showed it to the Grizzly Bear, and said:

"Mutated creatures have enlarged bodies due to gene mutations, which is normal. Moreover, all mutated creatures will almost have some kind of attribute that is greatly enhanced! And it's usually agility! But at the same time, no matter what kind of mutated creature, almost all have very strong defense!"

"A hamster is already like this, then..."

Looking at the hamster corpse, the Grizzly Bear couldn't help but shudder.

"Don't worry, there aren't many mutated beasts, and... generally speaking, mutated beasts don't really like to attack humans. They prefer the taste of zombies, and mutated beasts attack people only for hunting, at least they won't kill us all."

Li Chenzhou said:

"Like this one, if it had caught you just now, maybe it would have torn off an ear and run away! Moreover, the mutated virus of mutated beasts will not infect people, that is to say, you will at most lose an ear, and will not become a zombie!"

"I won't let it catch me whether I become a zombie or not!"

The Grizzly Bear immediately shook his head, then looked at the car next to him, and said hesitantly:

"Why don't... we change cars!"

The rear windshield of Li Chenzhou's car had been removed. The Grizzly Bear didn't feel anything before, but after encountering this mutated hamster, he felt that this car was a bit unreliable.

"Let's go to that special ops warehouse you mentioned to change cars!"

Li Chenzhou pointed to the six-story building over there:

"Will there be many people here?"

"The Special Operations Readiness Department mainly stores weapons. The special ops don't wait inside. Usually, they only come here to pick up weapons when they encounter major events!"

The Grizzly Bear said:

"Under normal circumstances, there are only some logistics personnel here, but I don't know if anyone else will think of coming here after this kind of thing happens, after all, this is not a secret within our system!"

"We'll know when we go and see!"

Li Chenzhou looked at the terrain. Although it wasn't very far, it was separated by a road. If they wanted to go over, they either had to drive around or... walk directly through the wilderness.

"Xiao Lei! You stay here and protect your sister and the others. The two of us will go over there and take a look!"

Looking at Duan Lei, Li Chenzhou immediately had an idea.

Although a mutated beast had just appeared here, Li Chenzhou knew that there were very few mutated beasts, and they all had a sense of territory. Since there was one, it was unlikely that there would be another one.

Moreover, the reason why they were able to kill that mutated hamster just now was thanks to Duan Lei's efforts in the back. The reason why that guy suddenly stood there motionless was because Duan Lei launched a mental attack.

Mutated beasts have strong physical defenses and are fast enough, but their weakness is that they are afraid of mental attacks, after all, they are animals!

"Go from here?"

Duan Lei naturally agreed immediately, but the Grizzly Bear pointed to the wasteland between the two highways and asked with a strange expression.

"Yes!"

Li Chenzhou nodded.

"There are definitely a lot of insects, rats, and stuff in here... aren't you afraid?"

The Grizzly Bear asked again.

"How much of a detour would it be to go around? Besides, this mutated hamster just appeared on the highway!"

Li Chenzhou said:

"Moreover, the residential areas by the roadside may have pet cats and dogs. Do you think it's safe to walk on the highway? Now it's the apocalypse, mutated creatures are everywhere. If you want to avoid them, you definitely won't be able to!"

Saying that, Li Chenzhou took a step and took the lead in walking off the highway.

"This damn world!"

Looking at Li Chenzhou's back, the Grizzly Bear looked at Duan Lei again, finally cursed in a low voice, then followed with his pistol in hand...
