There were not many wild animals in the city to begin with, but during the three years when humans went extinct, animals from zoos or outside New York City multiplied without control, and there were not many carnivorous animals, so some of the more remote areas of New York City became a paradise for wild animals.
Han Fan, Zhuo Luo and Robert returned from hunting, and in addition to bringing back two large antelopes, they also brought back a surprising piece of news. The mutant animals' activity time has expanded to the early morning and dusk. Except for the period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when the sun is strong, the mutant animals can move freely around the city at other times.
These mutated animals, especially carnivorous animals, became more ferocious and hunted indiscriminately. Fortunately, these beasts did not like to leave any alive and would always bite their prey to death with one bite, so the number of mutated animals did not increase sharply.
Han Fan and his companions witnessed the horror of the carnivorous mutant animal. It was a naked tiger. Its terrifying speed was far beyond that of an antelope. Its horrible bite force made the bones of the caught animals as soft as tofu. Basically, 9 out of 10 antelopes that it targeted would be torn to pieces.
Zhuo Luo attempted to challenge the mutant tiger, but was finally stopped by Han Fan. This was because there were animals appearing nearby from time to time, and they had no idea whether there were more powerful mutant creatures hiding in some hidden places.
The reincarnations were in a heavy mood, the situation was becoming increasingly pessimistic. If even the night demons could appear during the day, their hunting and survival tasks would become even more difficult.
Robert did not tell Anna and Ethan about this news, because Anna and Ethan were actively preparing to go to the settlement of human survivors. Robert did not believe that there were still human settlements, and had argued with Anna many times about this, but Anna firmly believed it.
If Anna knew the seriousness of the situation, they might leave immediately. This is also a fact that the reincarnationists do not want to see. Protecting Anna and Ethan is also one of the plot tasks. In other words, if Anna and Ethan leave, 100 will die, and the range of activities of the reincarnationists is restricted to New York City by the Lord God, so they will never let Anna and Ethan leave.
At night, no matter how delicious the food Mu Fei'er cooked was, it was like chewing wax. After a quick meal, they continued to follow the previous arrangement, splitting into two teams, one to stand guard and the other to rest.
The Night Demons finally didn't attack Robert's home, but Mu Fei'er felt that the Night Demons' activities were becoming more and more frequent, and even expanding towards them. Fang Ru speculated that it was because the existence of Meng Xiang and the Reincarnationists made the Night Demons feel uneasy, so they were also eager to find a way to find the Reincarnationists' hiding place.
Meng Xiang and Zhuo Luo's injuries were finally healed, which was like a shot of cardiotonic for the reincarnators, and their uneasy mood finally calmed down. Next, it was hunting time, and they had to kill a certain number of night demons before they were exposed to the sun.
After discovering the strength of the male Night Demons and the existence of the Night Demon King, the Reincarnators acted more cautiously. During the day, they only hunted from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and were divided into two teams, led by Meng Xiang and Zhuo Luo respectively. Through Mu Fei'er's mental scan, they easily found the gathering places of Night Demons with rapid-fire bolts and submachine guns, and then killed them. In just 5 days, the two of them had completed the task of hunting 100 Night Demons.
Next, it is time for your companions to complete this difficult task.
Among the companions, except for Jie Juan and the newcomers, everyone has unlocked their potential locks, which means that it is slightly easier for them to hunt down such a night demon with high-speed movement ability. Although Jie Juan has not unlocked her potential lock, her nerve reaction and agility have been strengthened to the limit, so it is relatively easy for the veterans to sneak into the building and hunt under the protection of Meng Xiang or Zhuo Luo.
The key is Li Wei and Tang Bixin. They have never even touched a gun in the real world, and their bodies have not been strengthened, so they can only hunt the night demons that are beaten to death. In this way, the number of night demons they kill is quite slow.
As for Jing Jie and Li Xiaoyu, they have been staying with Robert. It is unknown whether they feel that the reincarnationists have abandoned them. They hide in the house every day and dare not go out. They do not need to participate in the discussion of the situation by the reincarnationists.
Jing Jie drank heavily every day, while Li Xiaoyu was trembling with fear. The two of them never took the initiative to inquire about the hunting of the night demon. They just asked the reincarnationist for help in a tentative tone at the beginning, but they did not ask to go out hunting the night demon with the reincarnationist. It felt like they were asking the reincarnationist to help catch the night demon. Of course, the reincarnationist ignored them.
Li Wei and Tang Bixin, both newcomers, secretly realized the seriousness of the situation, because during the hunting, they listened to the conversations of the reincarnations and participated in the hunting of the night demons, and vaguely felt that the hunting operation that was particularly related to their lives was becoming more and more urgent. However, they were very clear in their minds that if Jing Jie and Li Xiaoyu participated in the hunting operation, it would be equivalent to reducing their hunting opportunities, so they watched Jing Jie and Li Xiaoyu and did not comfort or persuade them.
The hunting operation lasted for 20 days. Jie Juan, who had not unlocked the potential lock but had excellent marksmanship, was the first to complete the hunting mission, followed by Han Fan. Mu Fei'er and Fang Ru killed more than 80, while Li Wei and Tang Bixin only killed less than 40.
As the survival time was approaching, the number of Night Demons dropped rapidly, and more and more mutant animals ran outside during the day. The Reincarnationists had to set the hunting time to 11 am to 3 pm, which meant that their hunting mission became more difficult.
"Bang" Mu Feier, who was hiding in the corner of the building, shot and killed a night demon on the road 200 meters away with an ordinary sniper rifle. It was 11 o'clock in the morning, and this was the first prey on the 21st day of their hunting operation.
Meng Xiang, Fang Ru, and Li Wei came out together. Facing the night demon that was just killed and was sunbathing, Fang Ru's face turned pale and he said to Mu Fei'er solemnly: "Have you found any other night demons around?"
Mu Feier put away the sniper rifle, pointed to the east and said, "There are 16 over there, and no trace of the Night Demons has been found in other places for the time being."
"16?" Fang Ru murmured, "We are already close to the suburbs of New York City. There is a jungle over there. No matter how dense the jungle is, sunlight can still seep in. So, have the Night Demons already begun collectively trying to move out during the day? Or are those gathered over there just ordinary mutant animals?"
"Do you want to confirm it?" Meng Xiang said calmly. He had been in a state of panic these days, but over time, he became calm. Now he has completed the hunting mission, and he only has 9 days left to survive. In order to increase his strength as soon as possible, Meng Xiang cherishes his survival time very much and insists on entering his mind every day to fight against another self.
Fang Ru pondered for a while, and finally made a decision: "Not to confirm, but to hunt. In the next few days, we should not be picky, we must let me... let us complete the hunting mission as soon as possible. I am worried that the later it is, the harder it will be for us to find the female night demon."
"Why do you think so?" Meng Xiang asked puzzledly.
"In fact, you should have noticed that the number of Night Demons we have hunted in recent days has dropped rapidly. Originally, the number of surviving Night Demons should be very large, but perhaps after these days, the Night Demons also felt the danger of being hunted, so most of them left the city."
"In this case, as long as we complete the hunting mission, won't the survival mission be easy?" Li Wei asked tremblingly. She was very clear-headed. Although she had only hunted half of the night demons, she had gradually understood the team during this period of time. As long as they were not abandoned by the team and did not become a burden to the team, the team would definitely be willing to give them free help.
"Easy? Don't be so naive." Fang Ru said with a wry smile, "The fewer targets we have to hunt, it doesn't mean the number of Night Demons hunting us is also decreasing. Can the main mission issued by the Lord God be completed so easily? Even if the number of male Night Demons is far less than that of female Night Demons, there will not be less than 100. If they are really evolving, then we will face a team of Reincarnationists who have unlocked the potential lock level 1 to siege us."
Li Wei obviously couldn't understand the strength of a potential lock level 1 expert, but from the panicked expression on the reincarnation's face, she could guess that it would be a difficult hurdle for them to overcome.
