Apocalypse: No rebirth! Time to upgrade the sewers!

He flexed his fingers, his claws moving freely as if they were an organ he was born with.

Looking at his own claws, Song Qing wasn't too scared anymore.

With this, what else is there to be afraid of?

Mutant creatures or monsters, it doesn't matter.

All of these will become nourishment for him to become stronger!

He turned on the monitor screen to check the situation outside and prepare to go out.

On the screen, the sewer was completely silent.

The ground-based camera is pointing directly at the community square.

The heavy snow is still falling, but it's much lighter than before.

Ye Chen's villa was still brightly lit.

Just then, several figures appeared in the surveillance footage.

They were wearing down jackets and pushing a supermarket shopping cart through the snow.

The shopping cart was covered with a cloth, so you couldn't see what was inside.

They walked to the parking lot.

The group stopped, and one of the men lifted the cloth off the shopping cart.

Song Qing's pupils suddenly contracted.

In the shopping cart was a corpse!

Although the image was somewhat blurry, he could tell that it was a human corpse!

The group of people started carrying things out of the shopping cart with practiced ease, clearly not the first time they'd done something like this.

Song Qing felt a churning in his stomach.

He turned off the monitor; he didn't want to watch anymore.

Now, he's getting ready to go out and check on the sewers.

He checked his equipment.

A short knife, and a down jacket.

There are also newly acquired superpowers: Night Vision and Claws.

He decided to explore the sewers first.

He opened the security door and entered the sewer.

With his Night Vision ability activated, the structure of the surrounding pipes became clearly visible to him.

He began exploring along the main pipe.

After walking about a hundred meters, he found a fork in the road.

The pipe on the left is wider, while the one on the right is relatively narrower.

He chose the right side.

His intuition told him that it was less likely to encounter large, mutated creatures in narrow spaces.

After walking a few dozen meters, a rustling sound came from ahead.

He immediately stopped and pressed himself against the wall.

He peeked out and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

At a corner of the pipe, five or six mutated rats were gathered together, gnawing on something.

These rats were about the same size as the one he had killed before, about the size of a house cat.

I don't know what they eat.

Song Qing did not act impulsively.

Although his strength has improved considerably, there is still a risk in facing five or six mutated rats at the same time.

He needs an opportunity.

An opportunity to take them down one by one.

He observed the group of rats and noticed that they seemed to be tearing at each other in a fight over food.

The opportunity is coming!

He was like a patient hunter, waiting for the perfect moment.

Finally, a slightly smaller mutated rat was pushed out from beside the corpse by its companion.

It let out a reluctant cry and walked towards him.

It's now!

The moment the mutated rat entered the attack range, Song Qing moved!

He slashed hard with the short knife in his hand.

puff!

Before the mutated rat could react, its head was severed off, and black blood splattered all over the ground.

Kill 1 mutated rat and gain 5 points.

The remaining mice noticed the sound and turned their heads in unison.

Red eyes stared at Song Qing.

They let out sharp cries and pounced on Song Qing without hesitation!

"Well done!"

Instead of retreating, Song Qing advanced, and the sharp claws in his left hand instantly shot out!

A rat lunged at him, its sharp claws lashing out!

Tear!

The rat's body was torn in two mid-air, and blood splattered everywhere.

Kill 1 mutated rat and gain 5 points.

The other three mice are already close!

Song Qing dodged their attacks and thrust his short sword backward with a backhand thrust!

puff!

A rat was blown in the head.

Kill 1 mutated rat and gain 5 points.

Two left!

Song Qing felt his blood boiling; the battle was exhilarating.

He kicked a rat that pounced on him away.

Then Song Qing's sharp claws slashed and hacked...

The last two mutated mice also died.

Kill 1 mutated rat and gain 5 points.

Kill 1 mutated rat and gain 5 points.

The battle was over in seconds.

Song Qing stood there slightly out of breath.

He looked at his claws, stained with black blood, and felt the power surging within him.

The feeling of personally butchering his prey gave him a strange sense of satisfaction and excitement.

"Bingeing!"

He placed his hands on the corpses of the five mutated rats one by one.

A small amount of energy flowed into the body.

[Binge eating successful! Physique +1!]

A series of system notification sounds rang out.

Looking at her zeroed-out points, Song Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I've finally paid off my credit score.

He stretched his body, feeling the renewed surge of power.

It made him feel very comfortable.

However, my stomach started growling.

We must find food.

After a short rest, Song Qing continued along the narrow pipe.

The sewer network was far more complex and interconnected than he had imagined.

His night vision ability allowed him to thrive here, avoiding several landslide areas.

I don't know how long I walked, but it felt like it was about a kilometer or so.

Ahead, there was an upward-pointing iron ladder with a manhole cover on top.

Song Qing climbed up and carefully pushed the manhole cover open a crack.

Everything outside was a vast expanse of white.

This is... the pedestrian street outside the residential area.

The snow had lessened considerably, but a thick layer had accumulated on the ground, obscuring the original road surface.

The shops along the street were all closed, and it was very quiet.

About a hundred meters away, a familiar sign caught his eye.

That was a 24-hour convenience store.

Song Qing's heart began to race.

Convenience store! They must have food inside!

He was making plans.

The potatoes and mushrooms in the shelter will take at least five days to mature.

He couldn't wait that long.

He had to go to the convenience store and loot it.

After making the decision, he did not act immediately, but carefully observed his surroundings.

The streets were deserted, and there was no sign of the white monster.

It looks safe.

He climbed out.

He arrived at the convenience store entrance.

The glass was broken, and the door was open.

He listened

There was no sound from inside.

Song Qing extended his sharp claws.

He pushed open the glass door.

jingle--

The bell hanging on the door rang.
