Chapter 1 The Dog Kills

Fa Wang stumbled out of the supermarket, his body swaying, his eyes somewhat vacant.

It had killed someone.

At this moment, he didn't even feel hungry. Fa Wang absentmindedly returned to his dwelling.

Fa Wang's dwelling was a culvert under a bridge, cold and damp.

Originally, the most suitable dwelling would have been an empty or abandoned warehouse, but his past experiences made Fa Wang afraid of confined, inescapable spaces.

Fa Wang collapsed weakly on the ground, burying his head in his paws, his body trembling slightly.

A dog killed someone; why did they have to force a dog?

The dog could actually use the power of lightning.

Had the dog become a monster?

Fa Wang thought a lot. He was very hungry, and in a daze, he fell asleep.

As soon as it was dawn, Fa Wang got up, walked out of the culvert, and prepared to find something to eat.

Overnight, Fa Wang had thought a lot. Fa Wang believed that it must have been because the dog entered the supermarket that it was attacked by humans.

Then he wouldn't enter the supermarket.

In addition, the instinct to survive made Fa Wang know that if the dog didn't want to die, it had to work hard to live.

A wet, black rat was scurrying quickly along the riverbank. Fa Wang locked his gaze on it.

If he wasn't extremely hungry, Fa Wang really wouldn't want to bother with them.

The rat was running a bit fast, and was about to enter a hole. Fa Wang didn't have much strength. Instinctively, he opened his mouth, and a bolt of lightning shot out.

With a bang, it missed.

To Fa Wang's surprise, the rat turned around angrily and charged at Fa Wang.

Did rats even have this kind of courage?

Fa Wang shot out another bolt of lightning, this time hitting the rat's butt. It was done for.

The smell of burning wafted over, and Fa Wang quickly went over.

It had been almost three days since he had eaten anything. No matter how bad the taste, he had to eat.

This rat was about 12 or 13 centimeters long, not small.

Fa Wang put a paw on the rat, holding it in place, and took a bite.

The raw meat entered his mouth, a bit sour and astringent. Fa Wang swallowed it directly.

Fa Wang had eaten many things that didn't taste good. Right now, he was extremely hungry, and the unpalatable mutated rat meat restored a bit of his strength.

Huh? Something hard entered his mouth. At first, Fa Wang thought it was a bone. He chewed it for a moment, but the texture didn't seem like bone.

Fa Wang wanted to spit it out, but he wasn't careful and swallowed it.

Fa Wang didn't pay much attention. He ate it, so he ate it.

Afterward, Fa Wang inexplicably felt a surge of power spread through his body, then gather toward his head.

Crystals could not only be absorbed through the palm, but also be swallowed, but swallowing meant absorbing all the crystal's power at once.

Low-level ones didn't matter, but higher-level ones might overwhelm the body with the crystal's power.

The little rat's crystal couldn't possibly kill Fa Wang; far from it.

Fa Wang felt something in his mind expand a little bit.

It seemed that the ability to use the power of lightning was all because of that thing in his mind.

One rat wasn't enough to fill Fa Wang's stomach. He quickly caught another one.

This time, Fa Wang was careful. He bit open the rat's head, carefully and painstakingly searching until he found a white crystal the size of a grain of rice.

Fa Wang looked at it suspiciously. Was this the thing in his mind too?

Just eating rat meat didn't give him the feeling of increased power he had before. Fa Wang tried swallowing the crystal.

Sure enough, the increase in power came from this little crystal.

Fa Wang was silent for a moment. If the dog wanted to live, he had to become stronger.

So, the rats by the river were really out of luck, each one having its head opened by Fa Wang.

Rat crystals were far inferior to level zero zombie crystals. When Fa Wang swallowed the 23rd rat crystal, he felt a slight headache.

Was he full?

Fa Wang stopped absorbing crystals and began to practice the power of lightning.

First, he needed to be accurate. He often couldn't hit a little rat, and when he did, it was just luck.

Fa Wang used the rats as targets.

Rat: I really thank you for this.

Fa Wang learned without a teacher, using only half of his supernatural power each time he practiced, leaving the other half for emergencies.

A sobbing sound caught Fa Wang's attention. Fa Wang climbed up the bank to look and saw two humans chasing a girl.

The girl had a ponytail.

Two people had been kind to Fa Wang: one was Granny Yin Ling, who had saved him, and the other was Yin Ling.

This girl was about the same age as Yin Ling and also had a ponytail.

If it was a man, Fa Wang might not have saved him. Fa Wang wouldn't actively hurt people, but he wasn't an overly righteous dog either.

But this girl looked a bit like Yin Ling.

Fa Wang hesitated for a moment, then charged over, the lightning he had practiced hitting the two zombies accurately.

Hitting a small rat wasn't easy, but hitting a zombie was easy, right?

Fa Wang easily knocked down the two zombies.

The rescued girl burst into tears, crying for a while before saying, "Thank you. I came out to find something to eat and ran into zombies."

Fa Wang responded with a "Woof" to show he understood.

The girl sobbed as she looked at Fa Wang, thinking, this dog hasn't mutated and is very powerful. If I could take him in, I would be much safer.

She said, "My name is Yan Yan, little doggy, can you take me home? I'm afraid of running into zombies on the way."

Zombies?

Some humans had also become monsters; were their names zombies?

Yan Yan tried to communicate with Fa Wang, not really expecting Fa Wang to understand her words, but to her surprise, Fa Wang really understood.

Almost everyone disliked the dirty Fa Wang, but Fa Wang was full of goodwill towards humans.

Fa Wang guarded Yan Yan's side, escorting her home.

There weren't many zombies by the little river, but the closer they got to the residential area, the more zombies there were.

When they encountered zombies, Fa Wang would take the initiative to lure them away, get rid of them, and then return to Yan Yan's side.

Unfortunately, an accident happened. Yan Yan fell and injured her knee, unable to escape, and to make matters worse, they encountered seven or eight zombies.

Yan Yan cried, "Little black dog, save me, don't abandon me."

Fa Wang looked serious and barked. It wasn't a hopeless situation. Fa Wang estimated that he could handle a dozen zombies; seven zombies were nothing.

One bolt of lightning after another shot out from Fa Wang's mouth. The zombies fell one after another, but the zombies weren't afraid of death and charged straight at them.

If they were attacking Fa Wang, Fa Wang could easily dodge, but if they attacked Yan Yan, Yan Yan would just scream.

As a result, three more zombies were attracted.

Fa Wang looked at Yan Yan in a daze.

A zombie clawed at Yan Yan. In a moment of crisis, Fa Wang had to abandon the zombie in front of him and use his body to knock away the zombie attacking Yan Yan.

The result was that he was scratched by a zombie.

Fa Wang breathed heavily as he finished off the remaining zombies.

They encountered two more zombies on the way, and Fa Wang tiredly finished them off.

Yan Yan's home wasn't in a residential complex, but in a flat house.

Originally, Fa Wang had planned to leave after escorting her home, but now he was very tired. If he went back the way he came, it would be very dangerous if he encountered more zombies.

Fa Wang decided to rest here for a while.

And Yan Yan looked at the wound on Fa Wang's body, trembling with fear. She had heard that being scratched by a zombie would lead to infection.

If it turned into a zombie dog...

Yan Yan said anxiously, "You go, you go, don't stay here."

Fa Wang looked at Yan Yan in confusion, barking twice, wanting to say that he would rest for a while and then leave.

Yan Yan, of course, didn't understand. Seeing that Fa Wang didn't leave, she picked up a brick to threaten Fa Wang.

Fa Wang's body was tired, and his heart was also cold.
