chapter 8

Since you have decided to leave the Brooklyn safe haven, you must be prepared enough before leaving.

First, there are food and water sources, and second, weapons and equipment.

All bridges leading to Manhattan, including the Brooklyn Bridge, are blocked by abandoned cars, and driving on the road is impossible.

Considering the weight bearing issue, Xin Sheng decided to bring only three-day servings of canned food and drinking water, and then search for resources in Manhattan.

In terms of weapons, it carries a 60-pound recurve hunting bow and a small number of arrows, a hunting knife given by the system, plus paracords, kettles and lighters and other outdoor survival suits.

Xin Sheng still vaguely remembers that Robert Nefer seemed to go to the port every afternoon, broadcast the radio in various frequency bands, waiting for survivors who did not know whether they existed to ask him for help, and would not leave until the evening.

From the map, Manhattan is a narrow peninsula terrain with coasts on both sides of the peninsula.

Xin Sheng plans to explore the east coast near Brooklyn first, if you can't find anyone, then go to the other side.

After the packaging was completed, Xin Sheng and Dahuang spent their last night in the luxury homestead where they lived for several months.

The next morning, he used the remaining venison as breakfast. Xin Sheng locked the mansion and stood outside the house and took the whole view of the mansion for the last time. After that, he took Dahuang to the Brooklyn Bridge without looking back.

The abandoned vehicles on the Brooklyn Bridge were abandoned for a lot of time. It took a short period of time to pass the 1,834-meter bridge and officially enter the Manhattan area.

Before the end of the world, Manhattan District was the wealthiest administrative district in New York and the world's financial center.

Among the Fortune 500 companies, most of the companies are headquartered in Manhattan, and it is also the location of the United Nations headquarters.

However, those glory of the past has nothing to do with Manhattan at this time.

After the virus outbreak, the once prosperous Manhattan has long disappeared, leaving only a large number of skyscrapers standing deserted around Wall Street.

The national symbol of the United States, the Statue of Liberty stands alone on Liberty Island southwest of Manhattan.

The three years of unmaintained sun and rain have made the Statue of Liberty, which was originally covered with patina, look a little black, and the surface is covered with a lot of stains.

"Is it free...he~"

Xin Sheng raised a sarcastic smile on his lips: "Thank you, King Dong, for letting the whole world realize the true face of American democracy and freedom, and also let countless Chinese youths who have been brainwashed by American values ​​go back to their future."

"Free America, shooting every day."

Dahuang didn't know what the owner was muttering, but it was used to it. Every once in a while, Xin Sheng would talk to himself like this.

"Boom~bang!"

"Um?"

The sudden sound from nearby made Xin Sheng quickly withdraw his thoughts, and Dahuang also looked vigilantly in the direction where the sound came, his ears were straight, and his agile eyes were staring tightly in front of him.

After gently stroked Dahuang's dog's head, Xin Sheng waved his head to Dahuang who had turned around.

The tacit understanding developed by long-term living and hunting made Dahuang instantly understand what his master meant and approached the past without any haste.

Xin Sheng untied the recurve hunting bow from his travel backpack, pulled out an arrow from the quiver that was straddled behind his waist and placed it on the string.

The arrows used for daily training are completely different from those used in actual hunting battles.

When training, the arrows should be recycled as much as possible. The shape of the arrows is relatively round and blunt, and the lethality is approximately equal to nothing. They will generally not be used in actual combat.

The arrows used for hunting are extremely sharp, and some special arrows also have barb structures.

Once these arrows are shot into the prey, they will not be easily thrown away. The special structure will continue to make the prey bleed and weaken their vitality.

The probability of creating movement during the day is wild animals. At this time, Xin Sheng used sharp arrows for hunting.

If you are lucky, you might be able to have a big meal when you arrive in Manhattan.

"Click~"

The sound continued, but it was getting farther and farther away from where Xin Sheng and Dahuang were.

"wrong……"

Xin Sheng listened carefully to the irregular footsteps that came from a distance: "The heavy footsteps... are definitely not animals, but humans wearing shoes, or..."

Considering the night demon's nature of fearing death from ultraviolet rays, Xin Sheng shook his head and ruled out this possibility.

"Rhubarb, speed up!"

"Woo!"

Since he was sure that the other party was a human, Xin Sheng no longer hid and chased with Dahuang in the direction where the sound came out.

‘Can it be Robert Never? There is no one else in Manhattan except him.’

Long-term systematic exercise has greatly enhanced Xin Sheng's physical fitness, which is completely different from his weakness when he first came to this world.

Tracking is also a field that hunters are good at. Even if the sounds from afar have stopped, rhubarb, which captures the other party's scent, can continue to follow up.

"Uh~roar!"

When he chased to an abandoned building suspected to be an office building, Dahuang suddenly stopped and let out a warning roar.

Xin Sheng's face changed, and he judged the meaning of the hunting dog from his expression.

This situation has also happened before, indicating that there is a night demon in the building.

"Shh~"

Xin Sheng squatted down and greeted him softly. Dahuang turned around and came to the owner, but it was still staring at the back door entrance on the first floor of the office building without any slack.

"There is a night demon?"

Dahuang grinned and gave a positive answer: "Woo!"

Xin Sheng frowned: "Have the target also entered?"

"Ao!"

This scene that seemed similar in front of me awakened Xin Sheng's long-lost memories.

Robert Never seemed to have set up a trap in front of the door of this building and caught a female night demon.

It is also this that the female Night Demon laid the foreshadowing for Robert's future encounter.

Xin Sheng looked up and observed the nearby terrain.

The back door of this office building is located just under a bridge. The light is dark and the sun cannot shine into the interior of the building. It is a perfect stronghold for Night Demon.

"Let's go, let's go to the bridge point first."

Taking Dahuang to the bridge with him, Xin Sheng found a suitable shooting angle.

This point is blocked by abandoned vehicles, so it is difficult to find Xin Sheng’s location without getting close. It is also possible to aim at the back door of the office building, with a distance of about 20 meters.

Even if the 60-pound high-tension recurve bow is used, Xin Sheng's direct shooting effective killing range does not exceed 50 meters, and the maximum power can be achieved within 30 meters.

As for the shooting with a longer range... Night Demon is not a fool, he will stand in place and wait for the shooting arrow to fall slowly and hit him.

Moreover, the hit rate of the projectile is also a big problem, and Xin Sheng generally calls it the arrow of the fate.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

A series of rapid footsteps suddenly came from the upstairs on the other side of the office building, and it was obvious that there was more than one person in the building.

Xin Sheng temporarily gave up the sniper and retracted the bow and hid back behind the cover.

"Bang!"

A loud bang came from the alley on the west side of the office building. Xin Sheng pressed Dahuang's head and carefully poked his eyes out to watch.

A black buddy wearing a black denim jacket broke through the window and rushed out from the fourth floor. On his back was a hairless night demon, and two similarly shaped "Wu Ke" were followed by his back.

Four "people" jumped out of the window together and fell onto the ground in the alley one after another.

The macho man in a denim jacket turned over in the air and landed heavily on the Ye Demon hanging behind him as a cushion.

After landing, the black man just rolled up and stood up without any injuries, looking at the three night demons who were paying New Year's greetings to the ground with their heads.

They look very painful.
