A reinforced SUV was running on the desolate and dilapidated New York streets. Sitting in the driver's seat was a young man in a khaki hunting suit, and a large, energetic yellow-haired dog squatted in the passenger seat.

When the vehicle drove through the empty street, the big dog looked at the surrounding environment with agile eyes vigilantly, while the man driving was focusing on finding valuable goals.

This man and dog are Xin Sheng and the hunting dog Dahuang, who are outsiders in this world.

A week has passed since the thrilling first night, and Xin Sheng has gradually begun to adapt to a brand new rhythm of life.

Since night demons are out hunting, Xin Sheng will only go out to activities after the sun rises, and rush back to the shelter before the sun sets, clear all traces and lock doors and windows to avoid being discovered by night demons who are out for food.

Except for being approached by the Night Demon on the first night because of his own negligence, Xin Sheng never encountered another attack, which gave him enough time to grow and collect the resources needed to survive.

Just as Xin Sheng guessed, the supermarket in Brooklyn, New York was robbed by panicked people long before the virus broke out.

As a last resort, Xin Sheng could only search through broken windows from door to door with the assistance of Dahuang.

As long as there is a house occupied by the Night Demon, Dahuang will make a reminder before entering the house, helping Xin Sheng avoid many unnecessary conflicts and dangers.

Xin Sheng found a lot of canned food and boxes of pure water stored by the owners in Brooklyn's resident's homes... Obviously, the original owner could not use them anymore.

Although the taste of canned food is unanticipated, it can at least fill him with rhubarb.

As for the Honda Crown SUV that Xin Sheng drove now, it was a good thing he found in the garage of one of the single-family houses.

Perhaps the owner ran away in a hurry when the virus broke out, and the key to the SUV was still stuck in the car.

After Xin Sheng carried the oil barrel back to the gasoline injection from the nearby gas station, the Suv, which had been idle for a long time, could still operate normally.

A week made Xin Sheng familiar with the street environment around the new shelter and also learned about his location through the city map.

As the system says, Xin Sheng’s area is Brooklyn, New York, the most populous area among the five major districts in New York.

After initially eliminating the existential threat, Xin Sheng began to consider more things.

First of all, the task assigned to him by the system, looking for the so-called energy module.

Now the time and space travel system is dormant and cannot be counted on until it finds energy to recharge it.

But Xin Sheng didn't know what the target energy module looks like and where to find it.

Based on the initial place where the system put him in the world, it is speculated that the energy module is likely to be somewhere in New York.

But even if you determine this information, the areas that need to be explored are still desperate.

New York is the largest city and largest port in the United States and one of the world's top international metropolises.

New York City is actively covering a vast area, and the city is divided into five major regions, namely the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and the most core Manhattan area.

In this international metropolis, which once had a population of more than 8 million, finding an item without any clues is not helpful in finding a needle in a haystack.

Although Xin Sheng wanted to find the target item as soon as possible to end his trip to this doomsday world, aimless searching without any clues is just a waste of time and energy.

In addition to the tasks given by the system, Xin Sheng’s second consideration is more essential.

Why did this guy who claims to be a time and space travel system come to him?

Xin Sheng is self-aware. Although he has a good foundation in appearance, his long-term high-intensity work has made his skin too fair, not look so healthy, and his mental outlook is worrying.

Xin Sheng believes that he has no potential worthy of the system's attention. Why did the system choose him to travel across the world for more than 6 billion people?

Xin Sheng's father used to be a worker in a steel factory. He unfortunately died due to operational errors during work, leaving the orphan and widowed mother to make a living.

Later, when his mother remarried, his stepfather had always had a bad attitude towards Xin Sheng. Although he did not beat and scold him at all, his sarcastic attitude could be seen at a glance by outsiders.

At first, my mother would persuade her to ease her relationship, but after many successes, she finally lost her patience and stopped inquiries about the irreconcilable conflicts between the two.

After graduating from college, Xin Sheng, who was unwilling to continue with his stepfather, went north alone and had fewer and fewer contacts with his family.

Occasionally, I would call my mother to ask about her current situation, but I rarely return to the "home" that made him uncomfortable.

He smiled self-deprecatingly, Xin Sheng raised his hand and rubbed Dahuang's dog's head.

"It seems that at least you don't have to worry about my disappearance causing too much impact. That guy will feel secretly happy when he learned that I suddenly disappeared."

"Woo?"

Although rhubarb is very smart, it is not a weirdo after all, and cannot understand the complex feelings of human beings.

The golden-colored Taihang Dog tilted her head in confusion and looked at her owner, her eyes full of confusion.

"Nothing, pretend I didn't say it."

Parking the car in front of a professional bow shop, Dahuang jumped out of the window first, and Xin Sheng turned off the engine and followed.

The routine is led by Dahuang. It half-lows its head and smells the residual scent on the ground to ensure that there is no night demon lurking within its alert range.

Take off the hunting bow from your back and hold it in your hand. Xin Sheng vigilantly put the arrow on the string, pulling the bow string with his fingers. Once he finds danger, he will shoot the deadly arrow at the fastest speed.

"Woo!"

After receiving the safety signal of rhubarb, Xin Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, took back his weapon and walked into the store.

This world is not safe, and it is obviously not enough to rely on the little equipment and props provided by the novice gift package.

During the recent week of exploration, Xin Sheng first discovered a gun shop.

Unfortunately, the guns in the store had been looted, and even the bullets were not left behind, scattered on the ground of the shop full of broken glass.

The bow shop was in a slightly better condition, but it was obvious that after a round of sweeping, Xin Sheng saw a very messy scene when he walked into the store.

Almost all the composite bows were taken away, and the few left in the store also suffered varying degrees of damage and could no longer be used.

Xin Sheng was not surprised by this. When the guns were robbed, the panicked fugitives would definitely think of plundering other weapons.

The labor-saving compound bow and simple-operated crossbow are the first choice for long-range cold weapons. Only some classic straight-pull bows and recurve bows that are difficult for ordinary people to control are left in the bow shop.

Xin Sheng has the basic knowledge of hunters systematically given to him and has some understanding of all kinds of bow shapes.

Straight-pulling bows are the most traditional bow type passed down from ancient times in various countries. The priority is cheap and easy to use. The disadvantages are short range, poor accuracy and slow arrow speed.

As recurve bows and composite bows with higher production craftsmanship prevail, straight-pulling bows gradually withdrew from the stage of history.

Whether it is an international archery competition or actual hunting, few people in modern times have put it into practice.

...Of course, the sentiment party is not included.

Recurved bows are modern mainstream hunting and competitive bows that replace straight-pull bows, and are named after the end of the bow arm bends outward.

Due to the special structure of the bow arm, the recurved bow can strengthen the speed of the arrow, but in contrast, the drawer also needs to have stronger strength.

Recurved bows can be roughly divided into two categories, namely hunting bows and competitive bows, whose functions and accessories are very different.

Reverse bow hunting, also known as beauty hunting, is mainly used for hunting. Compared with competitive reverse bows, fewer accessories, hunters who are more confident in their own archery skills usually only can assemble archery platforms.

The Hoyt shark in Xin Sheng's hand is a typical recurve hunting bow.

In addition, Hawkeye in the Avengers also uses a recurve hunting bow, but he has added some high-end science fiction accessories and special arrows.

As the name suggests, the reflexive competitive bow is mainly used in mainstream international archery competitions and is outstanding in accuracy.

The final composite bow is the crystallization of modern craftsmanship. It can use pulleys to achieve labor-saving effects, and its speed and power are very good.

Many hunters will choose to buy a compound bow. Due to the assistance of a variety of accessories, the compound bow has low requirements for the user's strength and skills, making it easier to get started.

However, there are many disadvantages of composite bows. First of all, they are expensive. High-end composite bows are more expensive than those of Meihun’s bows. They are very difficult to maintain because of the many accessories. If unfamiliar people use them, it will be difficult to repair them.

In the current apocalyptic environment, Xin Sheng will not choose an overly precious compound bow to use.

Fortunately, the layman who ransacked the bow shop did not take all the arrows away, and it should be because he couldn't fit in the car.

Xin Sheng has gained a large number of arrows of various types, which can be taken into account both daily training and actual combat.

After moving all the bundles of arrows and various types of arrows onto the trunk, Xin Sheng nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, this trip is considered a great harvest. You should not have to look for the bow shop to supply arrows for a long time."
