Chapter 6 Training and Hunting
No matter what the system chose himself for the reason, Xin Sheng had actually traveled through the world and came to this doomsday world where loneliness and crisis coexisted.
Loneliness comes from the daytime, and the whole Brooklyn is silent. SUV Benz has not found any trace of humans after several blocks.
In addition to occasionally encountering wild animals entering the city life, the once bustling and noisy steel jungle is scary.
The crisis comes from the night. Whenever the sun sets, the quiet streets during the day will appear as a scene of demons dancing around.
The massive plundering that went out today gave Xin Sheng a great harvest. When he drove back to his new home near the port, it was already dark.
Taking advantage of the experience of being visited by the Night Demon last time, after parking the car into the garage, Xin Sheng sprinkled special disinfectant water specifically used to eliminate the smell in front of the garage door to avoid being discovered by the Night Demon who went out to hunt.
Since it was getting late, Xin Sheng and Rhubarb could only fill their stomachs with canned food.
Seeing the disgusting expression that Rhubarb showed when she licked canned food, Xin Sheng rubbed its head helplessly.
"Hold on, and when we get familiar with the nearby wildlife activities, I will take you to hunt."
Due to the large daily activities, the hunting dogs have considerable food, especially for larger dog breeds such as Taihang dogs, the meat they eat every day will make Xiaofu Family feel quite painful.
Canned meat alone cannot meet the daily nutritional needs of rhubarb. If it continues for a long time, even the best hunting dogs will have the risk of being kept.
Due to the disappearance of humans, a large number of wild animals began to appear in cities that were once regarded as a forbidden zone by animals.
The night demon only appears at night, and the activity time of most animals is just a staggering distance. When Xin Sheng drove on the street during the day, he saw deer and sporadic hares entering the city to eat grass.
To ensure the wildness of the hunting dogs, fresh raw meat with a bloody smell is the most suitable food for them.
However, before setting out for hunting, Xin Sheng must practice archery skills first, and at least master the 40-pound Hoyt shark.
"Roar!"
Just as I packed up the dining plate, strange screams began to come from outside the house. The night demon's hunting time has come.
Xin Sheng chose a new home near the port in the west of Brooklyn, near a single-family mansion in Fort Pier Park. It should have belonged to a wealthy man before.
Looking northwest from the second floor of the mansion, you can see the Brooklyn Bridge connecting Brooklyn and Manhattan.
The bridge was completely blocked as early as the disaster broke out. Countless cars were parked on the bridge deck. If the Night Demon approached from the other end of the bridge, Xin Sheng and Dahuang would have noticed the movement.
Xin Sheng sets traps in a row on the east and south side of the mansion near the street. Once an enemy tries to approach, what a grand "surprise" will be waiting for them.
Xin Sheng and Dahuang would not live on the ground at night, so he spent several days transforming the basement that was originally used to store debris into a bedroom.
Even if the group of Night Magic breaks through the numerous traps around the mansion, it is not so easy to find the basement entrance that has been covered by disguise.
"Darhuang, you go in first."
The extremely obedient hunting dog obeyed the owner's order without hesitation and followed the stairs to enter the basement obediently.
Xin Sheng gently came to the window facing the eastern street and observed out through a small gap specially left between the reinforced wooden boards.
Groups of night demons searched in the downtown area of New York at night, searching for food that could fill their stomachs.
The intelligence of the Night Demon has not evolved to the extent that he can understand canned food, and wild animals that are active in the city are their staple food.
There is no fresh water source in the area near the port, so animals usually don’t come here to move around, so naturally night demons rarely come here, which is safer than other areas.
After observing and listening to the voice for more than ten minutes, Xin Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It's very far away, and the nearest sound is also 3 blocks away. It seems that I can have a good sleep tonight."
...
"Stomp!"
The next morning, when the sky was just bright, Xin Sheng woke up naturally, and his biological clock was gradually getting used to this daily routine.
With the bad taste and canned food, Xin Sheng took Rhubarb to the lawn of the mansion, installed the target he brought back from the bow shop yesterday, and began to formally practice the archery technique.
The maximum pulling force of the 40-pound bow is about 18 kilograms, which is just right for Xin Sheng today.
The brain has the relevant knowledge systematically instilled in the relevant way to correct it. Xin Sheng’s archery posture is quite standard, and all he needs is a lot of training.
There is no shortcut to the improvement of archery. The best way is to keep shooting 200 to 300 arrows every day.
It's easier said than done.
The first dozen arrows went very smoothly. The freshness that I couldn't experience in the past made Xin Sheng unconsciously sink into it, just like a big boy who just got a new toy.
After 50 arrows, Xin Sheng began to feel pressure on his hands, shoulders and back muscle groups, and the gradually soreness made his expression solemn.
Slowing down the frequency of archery, Xin Sheng gritted his teeth and insisted on shooting 200 arrows. At this time, his hands began to tremble, and his shoulders and back were also sore.
But Xin Sheng's training is not over here, and his hands are difficult to move again. He can also strengthen his physical strength through jogging, squats and sit-ups to strengthen his lower limbs and waist and abdomen.
In this world where danger is lurking at any time, being more ruthless can one force out potential faster. The warming method of a peaceful world is not suitable here.
Because of the system's instilling a lot of basic knowledge, Xin Sheng knows how to exercise to maximize the physical potential while ensuring that the muscles are not strained.
The days of self-improvement pass quickly. When Xin Sheng began to gradually adapt to the standard of 200 arrows and actively increased the amount to 250,300 arrows, the results of long-term scientific training began to appear.
Due to the nature of work, Xin Sheng used to spend most of his time at home using a computer to work.
Although I am not as fat as a ball at a young age, I still have a small belly.
Several months of exercise have lost a lot of unnecessary fat on Xin Sheng's body, and the muscle lines in his body have become clearer and clearer, especially his arms that have been pulling the bow for a long time. When he pulls the bowstrings, he can already see a very obvious muscle outline.
As Xin Sheng's physical fitness improves, the 40-pound bow begins to fail to meet his needs.
By eliminating the inventory retrieved by the bow shop, Xin Sheng increased the replacement of the same style of Hoyt shark of 45 pounds, 50 pounds and 55 pounds. Now the most convenient thing he uses is the 60 pound high-pull bow.
When it reaches 60 pounds, it doesn't make much sense to improve further.
Continuing to pursue the ability and stability of large-pound hunting bows that cannot be well balanced, Xin Sheng decided to use the 60-pound bow as his conventional weapon.
After initially adapting to the training of bow hunting, Xin Sheng took Dahuang to hunt wild animals.
According to the newspapers and books found on the streets in recent times, it can be confirmed that animals will not be infected by the air of viruses, and healthy animals will naturally not have viruses and can be eaten.
When I first hunted, due to experience and cooperation issues, one person and one dog were chased and lost many times, and I often returned home empty-handed due to dejectedness.
As the hunting training continues to deepen, Xin Sheng and Dahuang cooperate more and more tacitly, and they can catch prey more efficiently and improve their food.
...
The Outlook Park in central Brooklyn is one of the landmarks in New York, covering an area of 236 hectares. It holds many large-scale events every year to attract domestic and foreign tourists to visit.
After the catastrophic outbreak of the virus, the park was completely abandoned, with weeds growing in the park, and it looked like a prairie from afar.
The zoo in the park has long been empty, and most of the animals that were locked in the park have starved to death miserably.
A small number of animals with strong desire to survive desperately broke into cages and fled to the outside world. Now they have become part of New York City.
Xin Sheng and Rhubarb hid in the dark using lush plants. Xin Sheng saw the deer more than 20 meters away, which was gnawing down and eating grass.
"Suck~"
Taking a deep breath, Xin Sheng temporarily held his breath and slowly pulled the bowstring with his stable hands. The muscle lines of his hands became particularly obvious when exerting force.
Aiming at one of the bucks, Xin Sheng stared at the other party with sharp eyes.
The buck seemed to feel some threat, suddenly stopped eating, raised his head and observed around.
"Swoosh!"
Chapter completed!
