Surviving in anime world, playing with a girl and getting watched by the live chat.

Shinonome didn't kill the squirrel out of a desire to hunt animals; he genuinely killed it as a preventative measure, just as he said. The same thing happened when Rin and Nadeshiko killed the raccoon that wasn't showing any symptoms of viral infection back at the farm.

It's not impossible for a small animal carrying a deadly virus to destroy a survivor camp, and it's even possible for it to destroy a city, a country, or a world in some works about plague viruses.

Even if it's cruel to do this, killing every animal they see, they can't be too careful if they want to survive.

As they were talking, Dongyun made his move.

With a "thud," the little rascal fell from the tree.

But the moment he landed, Dongyun was stunned by what he saw.

deer.

Suddenly, a seemingly normal deer appeared in front of them.

The only abnormal thing was that there was another deer head in front of this deer, and this deer head was opening its mouth wide, "angrily" trying to bite the white-tailed deer in front of it to death.

Chapter 69 Bites

White-tailed deer.

The moment Dongyun saw the deer, a comment on the screen told him the name of the deer.

The scene before my eyes was shocking.

A head was hanging from the antlers of a live deer, and this head was a zombie head, which was stuck in front of the live deer's head through the antlers.

The zombie deer head could bite the white-tailed deer from less than a finger's width away, but that tiny distance was simply unattainable.

The zombie deer head stirred restlessly, while the white-tailed deer stood quietly not far in front of the three.

Not right.

Something is very wrong, even nine-tenths wrong.

Dongyun stared at the white-tailed deer in front of him, feeling uneasy, though he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

Was it that the deer wasn't afraid of them, staring straight at them, or was the zombie deer head hanging on its head particularly frightening, or perhaps there was blood on the deer's mouth, as if it had eaten something...?

Suddenly, Dongyun realized something, and at that moment, the restless zombie deer head quieted down.

"shot!"

Dongyun immediately sensed the danger and quickly drew the pistol from his waist.

The next second, the white-tailed deer let out a strange roar.

"Eh?"

Goto Ichiri was stunned when he heard that familiar roar.

"He turned into a zombie?!"

Upon hearing Shinonome say to fire, Ichiji Nijika raised her gun, and as she spoke, she and Pochi-chan fired together.

Although it was just a white-tailed deer, and not a very big one at that, a zombie deer was not something an ordinary person could deal with in close combat using melee weapons. Even if you did manage to defeat it, you could still very likely get bitten by the zombie deer.

Gunshots rang out from the woods.

Before the newly turned white-tailed deer could even attack the survivors, it was riddled with bullets by the rifles of the two female survivors.

"What happened? Did you fire the shots?"

Yi Shanghua's voice came through the walkie-talkie.

"We've encountered zombies. Pack your things, we need to find another place."

When Dongyun saw the fallen white-tailed deer, he roughly understood why deer and even pigeons could turn into zombies.

meat.

The deer turned into zombies probably because they ate zombie flesh.

He couldn't be sure whether the white-tailed deer was bitten by the head hanging from its antlers or ate zombie flesh, but he thought the zombie deer they encountered in Olivia town had turned into a zombie after eating zombie flesh.

Herbivores in nature also eat meat. Compared to plants, animal meat is more nutritious. In a zombie apocalypse, there will always be zombies that have been killed by humans.

The corpses of these zombies were discovered by herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores. It goes without saying what would happen to them, since their air and water infection rates were originally lower than those of humans.

Without giving it much thought, and without examining the white-tailed deer carcass, Higashiyun quickly called to Goto Ichiri and Iji Chikatsu Natsumi to run back. If there was one deer in this forest, there might be many more, and these deer might not all be docile creatures that run away at the sight of people; they could be rabid deer that would attack at the slightest sound and bite anyone they saw.

[Survival Requirements (Basic): Hunt one white-tailed deer]

[Award Received: "Guide to Edible Plants in Woodlands"]

The long-awaited green system notification appeared before Dongyun's eyes.

Eh?

Does that include zombie deer?

Or is it because the deer hasn't completely transformed that it counts?

Dongyun was very puzzled. He had also killed deer in the town of Olivia, but those deer were not white-tailed deer, which made him wonder whether zombie deer counted or not.

If we're going to calculate it, if he encounters a zombie brown bear in the future, he could get a reward for killing it.

Not knowing if there were any other zombie deer or zombie animals in the forest, Dongyun didn't dwell on the question, nor did she have time to check her rewards. She quickly returned to the camp with Hongxia and Boqi-chan to help everyone tidy up the temporary camp that they had just finished setting up.

After packing everything into bags, the group hurriedly set off to get away from this troublesome place.

It was getting darker and darker.

The unexpected incident put everyone in a bad mood.

Even someone as optimistic as Nadeshiko couldn't help but show a melancholy expression when looking at the gloomy sky.

Before long, it was completely dark. Everyone turned on their flashlights, their halos gleaming, and hurried toward the nearest town.

"Isn't it too dangerous for us to go to town?!"

Shima Rin was quite surprised to learn that Shinonome was going to town.

“We won’t go into town; we’ll go around it.” Dongyun put down his phone and whispered in a voice loud enough for everyone to hear, “There are some detached buildings outside town. I’m not sure if they’re villas or something. Let’s go check them out.”

Google Maps showed no buildings ahead of them; the nearest buildings were all in the nearest town. They certainly couldn't go into town at night, so his idea was to drive around the town and go to that building some distance away.

Go check if there are any zombies in that building, and how many there are. If there aren't many, they can clear them out with melee weapons and spend the night inside.

"What if it's a building full of zombies, like a hospital?"

Shima Rin looked at the completely darkening sky around her and felt a vague unease. She was worried that they had walked right into a trap and ended up in a building full of zombies.

“It’s alright, Xiao Jia is here. She’ll fly ahead to scout ahead, and we’ll go over once she says it’s safe.”

Shinonome understood what Shima Rin meant.

But don't worry, they still have their flying little Jia.

Even if the building they were going to was a horrific place like a hospital, Xiao Jia could use the walkie-talkie to tell them not to go there.

There are plenty of detached or clustered buildings outside the town, unlike hospitals which are often teeming with zombies. If they're not too unlucky, they should be able to find a detached villa with few zombies to spend the night in.

The sky was pitch black, with no moon or stars.

On nights like this, without flashlights and angel halos, they wouldn't be able to see anything.

They can see it, but so can the zombies.

If there are zombies nearby, they are likely to be attracted by the light.

On the night's journey, everyone remained mostly silent. No one spoke unless absolutely necessary, and even when they did, they did so in hushed tones.

After walking for about an hour and a half, Dongyun spoke.

"We've arrived, Xiao Jia."

"Ah."

Without a word, Gabriel spread her wings and took flight with her limited magical power.

In the dark sky, the angel shone like a dazzling star.

Survivors on the ground can clearly see the angels in the sky, and so can the zombies on the ground.

Similarly, there are also zombies flying in the sky.

Unbeknownst to Gabriel, not far to her south, a flock of decaying pigeons, following the scent of living creatures, flew toward the light in the sky.

"Goo!"

Following Google Maps, Gabriel, who was flying towards a building not far away, suddenly heard the cooing of a pigeon.

Then came the cooing of more pigeons.

The angel looked in surprise toward the direction from which the sound came, and saw a dark mass of figures swarming toward them under the light of the angel's halo and wings.

She quickly realized that the dark shadows were pigeons, each one emitting a rotten stench, its head, body, and wings decaying, yet strangely able to fly in the air.

Dangerous!

Upon seeing this, Gabriel's eyes widened in disbelief.
