"What the hell?"
Ye Feng was somewhat bewildered because a dark shadow was flying towards him in the night sky, and it was getting bigger.
"A big bird?"
Ye Feng vaguely saw the shape of wings, then he curiously turned on his flashlight and shone it at the shadow.
"Damn it!"
Upon seeing what the dark shadow flying towards him was, Ye Feng yelped and immediately hid inside a concrete pipe, even moving a stone slab to block the exit.
At this moment, Ye Feng's expression was quite tense, because the winged dark shadow was not a big bird, but a large swarm of bloodthirsty bats formed into the shape of a bird.
These bats were special. Unlike ordinary bats that only ate fruits, insects, and pollen, with a few occasionally sucking animal blood, these bats were not vegetarians. They not only sucked blood but also directly ate animal flesh, gnawing bones clean.
"Hiss!~"
"Bang~ Bang!~ Bang~!"
"Screech~! Screech~"
"Kacha~ Zzzzz~"
.......
After the swarm of bats landed, sounds of impact, shrieking, and tearing, all sorts of noises erupted, dense and chilling.
Ye Feng peered out through the opening of the stone slab and saw that the large swarm of bats had divided into several groups, frantically devouring the corpses of Brother Meng and his subordinates.
Of course, more bats were devouring the Scorpion-tailed Wolf that Ye Feng had just killed.
As the swarm of bats continuously tore and gnawed, the flesh and blood on the corpses of Brother Meng and his men, as well as the Scorpion-tailed Wolf, vanished at a visible rate.
In a short while, only fresh white skeletons remained on the scene!
"Phew!"
After the swarm of bats finished devouring the flesh and blood, they left without a moment's delay. Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
Frankly speaking, even if another Scorpion-tailed Wolf appeared, Ye Feng was confident he could handle it. After all, Scorpion-tailed Wolves hunted using their excellent vision in the dark.
Ye Feng had specifically targeted this weakness earlier, forcing the Scorpion-tailed Wolf's eyes to come into contact with strong light at close range, causing temporary blindness before he could take it down.
But these vampire bats were different. They located prey using ultrasound, had large numbers, small individual targets, and could fly, making them much harder to deal with than the Scorpion-tailed Wolf!
Ye Feng shifted the stone slab further aside, observed for a while longer, and after confirming that the bats had all flown away, he emerged from the concrete pipe and quickly ran towards the Scorpion-tailed Wolf that was now just a skeleton.
"Huh, the stuff is still here!"
Ye Feng was very happy.
The reason he had fought the Scorpion-tailed Wolf earlier, besides honing his combat skills, was more so to obtain its scorpion tail, which was as hard as steel, and its venom that could instantly paralyze nerves.
Having experienced the swarm of vampire bats, Ye Feng didn't dare to linger and immediately began to process his findings.
However, it was thanks to the swarm of bats that had stripped the Scorpion-tailed Wolf of its blood, flesh, and sinews, that Ye Feng could dismantle it much faster.
In less than five minutes, Ye Feng had obtained the Scorpion-tailed Wolf's more than one-meter-long scaled tail.
"What a treasure~"
Ye Feng was overjoyed. The sharp scales of the Scorpion-tailed Wolf, if detached, could be made into sharp weapons. He had wanted a sharp weapon to deal with zombies. And the tail's venom could even...
"Wait, what's happening to my body..."
Suddenly, Ye Feng's expression changed.
He felt his limbs completely unresponsive and rapidly losing sensation. He struggled to turn his eyeballs, looking at the Scorpion-tailed Wolf's tail in his hand.
"Bad!"
It turned out that Ye Feng, in his excitement, had overlooked the dried venom still clinging to the tail, and his arm had a scratch from debris...
"I must have accidentally touched it just now..."
At this moment, a gentle breeze blew, and Ye Feng fell stiffly to the ground, still holding the long, scaled scorpion tail in his hand...
.......
The next day,
The first ray of morning sun shone on Ye Feng's face. His eyebrows twitched, and he opened his eyes.
"The anesthetic effect has worn off?"
Ye Feng quickly regained his senses and hurriedly tried to control his limbs, one finger, two fingers...
After more than half an hour, Ye Feng finally managed to sit up and quickly removed a frog crawling on his face.
"This Scorpion-tailed Wolf venom's anesthetic effect is truly outrageous~"
At this moment, Ye Feng felt as if his body parts had minds of their own, one wanting to go east, another west, making him difficult to control.
"Ding!"
At this moment, the system's clear chime rang out.
Ye Feng's spirits immediately lifted, as this sound indicated that the system's [Shop] had refreshed its stock.
He quickly tapped on the [Shop] to check.
[Su Jiu Sanitary Napkins x3, Electric Coins 60]
"What the heck, these things again?"
Ye Feng was very frustrated. Ever since he got this system, the [Shop] had refreshed these items daily.
[Chocolate x1, Electric Coins 30]
[Bandage x1, Electric Coins 20]
[Alcohol x1, Electric Coins 50]
[Penicillin x1, Electric Coins 100]
"Whoa! Finally, some medicine!"
Seeing the last item on the list, Ye Feng was overjoyed.
After all, before penicillin was discovered, extracted, and applied by humans, when people were injured and infected, their survival depended mostly on luck. Without a strong immune system, it was a guaranteed death sentence.
In the early days of penicillin's birth, due to its excellent ability to treat infections, it was considered a life-saving miracle drug, and at one point, it was worth more than gold.
In the past half month since transmigrating to the world of the long night, Ye Feng had been eager to obtain such medicine, but the [Shop] had never refreshed it. It had, however, refreshed disposable syringes several times.
Without any hesitation, Ye Feng first purchased a small bottle of penicillin injection and placed it in his personal inventory.
Then Ye Feng continued to buy more items.
[Chocolate x1]
[Bandage x1]
[Alcohol x1]
In this way, Ye Feng had spent exactly 200 electric coins.
Next, Ye Feng began to process the Scorpion-tailed Wolf's tail again, collecting a little less than half a bottle of venom in a glass bottle, and then using wire to secure the sharp, hard scorpion tail.
Immediately, Ye Feng turned and headed towards the jungle, preparing to have breakfast.
As the sun had already risen, Ye Feng saw several figures emerging from the houses in the distance. He did not want others to know he possessed many supplies.
After all, it was the apocalypse now, and for a mouthful of food, some people would do anything...
.......
More than ten minutes later,
Ye Feng arrived at a large tree and took out mineral water, coarse grain bread, ham sausage, and a braised egg from his personal inventory, and began to eat.
"Food really tastes better when it's hot~"
After a satisfying meal, Ye Feng suddenly felt a sense of emotion. He had been eating cold food for half a month.
Although he had a lighter, he was afraid to start a fire, fearing it might attract some powerful creatures. And now that he was alone, he couldn't multitask to keep watch.
"I can't stay in this place for too long!"
Looking in the direction of Huangshi Town, Ye Feng thought to himself.
Then, Ye Feng took out a bottle of Coca-Cola from his personal inventory. His expression was somewhat conflicted.
Even for him, this was an absolute luxury. He had been reluctant to drink it.
"No choice, you can't catch a tiger without entering its den."
"I hope this bottle of Coke can get me some information about 'Hope City'."
Muttering to himself, Ye Feng jumped down from the tree, which was more than 3 meters high.
"Crack~ Hiss~"
As Ye Feng was about to walk back, a low, hoarse growl suddenly sounded from behind him.
