1 Month To Doomsday But I Awakened Before That - Chapter 7

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Chen arrived at the hill behind the gold mine.

It was almost noon. He took out the lunch that Officer Li had given him before he set off.

Ever since Su Chen had drunk the energy water, he had endless strength. However, he also felt that the rate his energy was consumed was much greater.

He got hungry way faster and had to eat a lot every day.

It would be great if there was something that could fill him for the entire day.

Su Chen found a stump and sat down. He took the opportunity to observe the winter forest.

Obviously, the place was not green at all.

Other than the rocks, there were some small shrubs.

It looked as if they were trembling from the cold. The place was barren and gave off an eerie atmosphere.

Suddenly, Su Chen fell off the tree stump.

He turned around and took a closer look. Apparently, he was not sitting on a tree stump.

It was a white Ganoderma that was as big as a basin. The Ganoderma was growing on the stump of a short tree!

Su Chen had seen a white Ganoderma before, but it was his first time seeing such a big one.

A white Ganoderma would only grow in the winter.

Once the weather became warmer, it would start to rot. Thus, they do not usually grow very big.

‘Winter had just begun. Yet, this white Ganoderma had grown so big?!

‘Is the environment of this forest especially suitable for the white Ganoderma?’

Coincidentally, a Ganoderma lucidum was also growing on the tree next to it. Su Chen broke it off and compared the two.

‘How should I put this? The size difference was like a rice spoon and pot lid.’

Su Chen had an ominous premonition. Some plants had already begun to mutate!

Check-in! He needed to go to a dangerous place and check-in! It was the only way to get richer rewards!

That was the only way he could deal with mutated animals and plants in the near future!

Su Chen’s sense of danger began to tingle!

“Awoo!”

A mournful howl of a tiger interrupted Su Chen’s thoughts.

Su Chen, who possessed the scamper skill, felt as if he almost teleported to the place where the sound came from.

What he witnessed was something he would never forget for the rest of his life.

The real-life version of a pig eating a tiger!

A tiger was surrounded by more than ten wild boars with green appearances and sharp fangs.

This tiger was the one that showed up at the police’s shelter yesterday!

Su Chen remembered the unique pattern on its forehead.

It looked very iconic.

The wild boars were approaching the tiger step by step, shrinking the encirclement.

Meanwhile, the tiger was forced to retreat. It got closer and closer to a big rock behind it. There seemed to be no way out!

“Hey! Over here!”

Su Chen cried out to attract the wild boars.

He also used his animal communication skill in an attempt to interact with the wild boars. Perhaps he could prevent blood from being spilled.

But!

But!

In Su Chen’s mind, he could only hear the tiger’s response.

‘It’s too dangerous here! Run! Run!’

Su Chen mustered up all his courage and said out loud, “I won’t hurt you. Let the tiger go. I can provide you with food!”

Still!

There was no response from the wild boars.

All of a sudden, Su Chen realized something.

The system had emphasized that his communication skill would only work on animals from Earth.

These green-faced, fierce-looking creatures with red eyes were not normal wild boars.

They did not migrate from a foreign place either and were a result of mutation!

In that sense, they were no longer considered animals from this planet!

All the wild boars turned their attention to Su Chen.

They approached him step by step, ready to attack at any moment!

The wild boars were panting heavily.

Su Chen had not thought of a way to deal with them.

He was also forced to retreat just like the tiger.

Run? With Su Chen’s scamper skill, the wild boars would not be able to catch up.

However, they would target the tiger again and it would definitely die!

Su Chen could already picture the tiger’s tragic death in his mind. It was simply unsightly!

Fight? After all, he had just obtained the ultimate combat technique.

It was possible for him to win even in a hand-to-hand fight against these wild boars.

However, when Su Chen looked at the wild boars’ glowing fangs, he decided against it.

As Su Chen continued to retreat, he suddenly slipped and fell into a large pit.

“Ding dong! You have successfully signed in from the wild boars’ nest and obtained a max-grade pistol!”

A well-made pistol instantly appeared in Su Chen’s hand.

Su Chen did not have much time to think about it.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Every shot was accurate and more than ten wild boars instantly fell to the ground. They were dead!

Su Chen let out a sigh of relief. He thought it was finally over.

Suddenly, he heard the tiger’s voice in his mind.

“Watch your back!”

Su Chen turned around and saw a golden-skinned wild boar. Its skin was even thicker than the dead wild boars.

The wild boar rushed straight at Su Chen and its long tusks were about to strike him.

At the same time, the foul stench from the wild boar’s breath smelled familiar!

It was the same odor as yesterday’s dead pigs.

“Bang!”

The wild boar only staggered a little. It was unharmed.

Su Chen jumped back and dodged the wild boar’s attack. That only made the wild boar even angrier.

It charged at Su Chen again as if it had gone mad.

Su Chen leaped up and rode on the wild boar’s back by grabbing its mane.

The wild boar tried to shake him off but was unsuccessful no matter how hard it tried.

Not only did Su Chen’s combat skill give him the ability to fight, but it also improved his flexibility and body coordination. That greatly helped him out in the current situation.

‘Bang! Bang!’

Su Chen aimed at the wild boar’s eyes and shot them.

“Bam!’

The golden-skinned wild boar fell to the ground and spat out blood!

After gaining his composure, Su Chen and the tiger looked at each other.

‘Thank you, human! Thank you for saving me!

‘The golden-skinned wild boar is their leader, but this is not the end of them.

‘There are more wild boars in the forest. You have to be careful!’

After saying that, the tiger turned around and returned to the forest. Its figure receded, leaving behind only a series of footprints!

It turned out that the hole Su Chen had fallen into was the nest of the wild boars. They had dug and used it as a sleeping space.

That was how he managed to complete the check-in!

Su Chen, who had come back to his senses, sized up the pistol in his hand.

“System, please tell me more about this gun.”

“Host, this is not a mere pistol. It’s also a sniper rifle. The range and accuracy are beyond your imagination. You’ll know when you use it! It’s definitely more terrifying than an AK. Moreover, there’s unlimited ammo and the gun has no recoil. Ding!”

The system’s voice faded.

With this pistol in his possession, Su Chen felt much more at ease.

He was no longer bare-handed.

Anyway, Su Chen threw the mutated wild boars into the ravine.

It was an attempt to stop their blood from flowing out and infecting other species.

Once that was done, Su Chen activated his scamper skill.

He needed to return to the city as soon as possible and purchase some items so he could enter the bottom of the gold mine without any delay!
