Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

Chapter 55 Corpse
flutter!
Lu Meng immediately lowered his body and lay on the top of the water tower.

Enter stealth state

He did not choose to go over to check on the bone dog. Instead, he took out his crossbow, which was already equipped with feather arrows with iron arrowheads and was ready to go.

Lu Meng glanced in the direction it came from.

It was all gray there.

The humidity in the air is even more excessive tonight, and there is even a slight mist.

All he could see was the skeletal dog lying on the ground. It was lying on its side, its belly beating with its breathing. Fortunately, it was not dead yet.

But apart from this little movement, there was nothing else.

Nothing else followed.

Lu Meng silently timed the situation in his mind. When he felt it was almost safe, he immediately turned over and got off the tower, grabbing his knife and running towards the direction where the bone dog fell to the ground.

By this time, the little bone dog had completely passed out.

"But there is still hope." Lu Meng used his medical skills to judge.

The appearance of the bone dog's injuries was very tragic, but what really caused it to fall unconscious was the blood loss. The damage to the key muscles and tendons was not serious, and it did not completely lose its ability to move.

So it can still find its way here.

Lu Meng took out a bandage and hemostatic medicine. These were separated from the medical module. They were convenient for first aid, so he always carried them with him.

He decisively prepared to use these precious medicines on this bone dog.

"There is no way to suture the wounds, so we can only use bandages to temporarily squeeze them together..."

There happens to be water here that can be used to clean wounds.

It’s just that we have to wait until we get back to deal with it thoroughly.

[Life Skills: Medical 9→11 (Basic)]

After a busy meal, the small bone dog was out of the dying state.

[Medical] skills are also upgraded accordingly.

You can always learn a lot by doing it.

But he didn't expect that the second surgery he performed would actually be on a dog.

"It's just an injury on the puppy..."

The broken bone plates looked like they had been hit hard with a blunt object, and the lacerations looked like they were caused by something biting them.

Is it another group of bone dogs?

Lu Meng looked in the direction outside the hub station and remembered the strange movement Zhang Ying told him.

In fact, except for those mutated creatures, generally speaking, this kind of carnivorous predatory animals will not actively invade human gathering areas.

Wild beasts know how to mark their territory with scent, and to other animals, a city full of humans is like a smelly fortress, heavily guarded.

Rather than challenging humans who know how to use weapons and fight cooperatively, it is of course more reliable to prey on species that do not resist and only rely on their reproduction numbers and escape speed.

Even herbivorous animals are more likely to stray into farmland and conflict with humans, such as the river velociraptor that is flooding in the Holy Kingdom.

——But since it is an anomaly, we cannot use common sense to speculate.

Just as Lu Meng was thinking, the little bone dog made two coughs that were different from humans, and slowly woke up, but it was still very weak.

The ability to recover so quickly is not only due to Lu Meng's first aid, but also to the physical constitution of these wasteland mutated creatures.

Lu Meng estimated that if this dog also had a faceplate, he should be able to see its [toughness] increase a lot at this time.

The small-bone dog flapped its nose feebly and suddenly opened its eyes.

It smelled familiar.

Regardless of the fact that his injury had just been bandaged, it bit him fiercely.

——But it just grabbed Lu Meng’s trousers.

Then he pulled hard.

Looking at the direction the bone dog head is pointing, it is exactly the way it came.

"You want to take me there?" Lu Meng thought to himself, "Is there something I need to see?"

Different from the wilderness, this is an abandoned urban area. Even if a group of bone dogs invades, it is not their familiar home ground after all, Lu Meng can easily escape.

"Go and have a look." Lu Meng said softly.

His hand gently pressed the bone dog's neck, and the little bone dog had no intention of resisting.

Smart animals know who saved them.

It stood up unsteadily and walked towards the depths of the ruins.It was a little staggering at first, but gradually it returned to a steady pace, but the speed was still quite slow.

Lu Meng followed behind it, holding a knife in one hand and a crossbow in the other, keeping alert.

The progress of taming the beast is faster than previously expected.

……

"This is……"

Lu Meng picked up the leather saddle on the ground. There was still dark red blood on it, and it had taken an unknown amount of time to dry.

This is a camel's leather saddle.

Most likely it was from the beast of burden that Hongxing lost.

It's right in front of you now.

a skeleton.

Its skeleton has long lost its flesh and blood, and the ribs of its torso are as jagged as broken branches, densely surrounding the chest like a cage.The once powerful limbs were now light and airy, with hollows exposed between the joints.

Jiama's skull had drooped, and Lu Meng stared at its empty eye sockets.

Strangely, the camel's skin drooped on the skeleton, exuding a bloody smell.

It was blood, not the smell of decay.

It died not long ago.

Moreover, it is still half-kneeling or even close to standing. If you look closely, you can find that there are still several tendons attached to the bones, struggling to maintain the balance of this giant beast's skeleton.

Lu Meng inspected the hide and found large bite marks on only a few locations including the abdomen.

This camel was eaten alive from the inside.

The mutilated animal skins were floating, the night wind blew through the gaps between the bones, and the whining sounds were like the moans of the camels before they died.

The small bone dog hissed on the side, seeming to be suppressing the instinctive urge to scream.

A pack of bone dogs attacked this camel in the flood?When it was finally about to find its way home.

But what kind of hunting scene would it take for this camel to remain standing while being bitten? Even if the camel would find a way to stand up and fight back at the beginning, it would definitely fall down before dying.

Road dreams continue to check.

He had quietly sensed for a while that there were no signs of other biological activity within the safe area except for the bone dog next to him.

Anyway, Jiatuo is dead, and its remaining skin can still be used.

He even saw the backpack of the Camelback that fell in the distance. Although it was flat, it didn't look like there was anything good in it - after all, the Camelback was not lost while transporting goods.

But the backpack itself is a good thing, and it can hold a lot of weight on a pack animal.

However, the small bone dog bit his trouser leg again.

Harder, more impatient.

"Didn't it bring me here just to see this?" Lu Meng felt wary.

Or maybe there's more to this place than just this.

He took off his backpack and carefully hid it under the hollow of Jiatu's body.

Check the shooting crossbow, use the runner to tighten the string in advance, attach the feather arrow, lock it with the buckle, and hang it on your waist so that it can be fired at any time.

Normally this would do a lot of damage to the crossbow, but now it doesn't matter so much.

Lu Meng drew out the knife again and held it with one hand, preparing both hands for attacks from far and near.

Then he followed the puppy and continued walking towards the outside of the city.

100 m.

200 m.

500 m.

Wandering around and twisting and turning in the ruins.

Finally, Lu Meng saw other bone dogs.

——The corpses of bone dogs, groups of bone dog corpses.

There was also a figure squatting in the mist... gnawing on the corpse.

"Kakakakaka."
