Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

Chapter 19 Hyena

Under Zurich's tense gaze, time ticked by, moving closer to 8 o'clock.

The sound of wood burning in the flames was exceptionally clear in the quiet night.

Zuli stood on the wall, carefully observing the surrounding scenery.

Suddenly, he saw some green reflections in the darkness in the distance.

Su Li felt a chill run down her spine and first checked the time: 7:49.

He glanced at the spot that had just reflected light again and noticed some reflections, proving that Su Li wasn't seeing things.

"Isn't it just refreshed directly?" Su Li muttered, then carefully observed the reflections.

As the reflection drew closer, Zuli saw the attacker's appearance.

They were a group of animals that looked like dogs, but with shorter, rounder heads, larger skulls, thicker skulls, longer heads and shorter muzzles, larger, rounder ears, shorter tails, longer front legs and shorter hind legs, and brownish-brown fur with some spots.

"They're hyenas!" Su Li carefully observed the group of invaders. He had seen these things just yesterday; he had survived by hiding in the vehicle, relying on the level 1 compartment.

These hyenas were about 0.9 meters long, and their shoulder height reached Su Li's knees. Saliva dripped from their mouths, and they bared their teeth, growling at Su Li.

One of the hyenas was larger and was surrounded by the others; it was probably their leader.

“One, two, three… eleven. Tsk, eleven in total. The number matches; it's the same group from yesterday.” Su Li and the leader exchanged glances. “Hopefully, none of them have rabies.”

Zuli gripped the greatsword with his left hand, making sure he could grab it at any moment. Then he used his right hand to attach the slingshot.

Driven by the system, the hyenas surrounded Su Li. Su Li was standing on higher ground, while the hyenas, standing at the base of the wall, looked up at her.

The hyenas managed to jump up the wall using its leverage, but Zuli was above them, and anyone who tried to climb up could be kicked down. The dogs were also quite clever and didn't make any rash moves.

Su Li glanced around and saw that there were still a few hyenas who were afraid of the flames and stood around the door, not daring to move. However, they were controlled by the system and would not leave obediently.

After slinging the sling up, Su Li aimed it at one of the hyenas and threw a stone.

With a "Duang," the dog's head made a crisp sound, clearly indicating a good head.

Zurich threw the stone with considerable force, and the dog immediately became dizzy, swaying on the ground before collapsing. However, it didn't seem to be dead, just unconscious.

"That won't work. How about this?"

Su Li opened her spatial storage, took out a stone, and threw it at the unconscious hyena.

The 0.25 cubic meter stone was quite heavy, and unsurprisingly, after it hit the hyena, it fell silent.

The remaining hyenas were furious at the sight of their fallen companion. They roared at Su Li and tried to leap over the wall. However, the 4-meter-high wall was not so easy to jump over, and with Su Li stabbing downwards with his two-handed sword, the hyenas struggled for a while but couldn't climb over.

When Su Li put things away, she made sure they were perfectly aligned to ensure there was no place for the enemy to use them.

With only a small gap between the bricks, and these dogs not being goats, it would be difficult for them to get a foothold.

If they swarm in, he can still throw out bait and keep the hyenas under control for a while.

“There are 10 left.” Su Li then took out a bucket of boiling water.

This is what Zurich traded for with 5 units of wood; he didn't have a heating vessel, but the others did.

Targeting the hyenas that were barking the loudest, Su Li poured boiling water directly onto them.

After one bucket is finished, then the second bucket, and the third bucket.

Zuli poured water on three hyenas at once, even getting some into one of their mouths. The dog vomited blood and then, as if suffocating, struggled and convulsed on the ground.

"Your throat's swollen, you stupid dog, huh? Serves you right for barking!" Su Li mocked excitedly.

Seeing his brothers suffer a setback, the lead hyena roared, and the remaining hyenas gathered around him.

Su Li watched the pack of hyenas nervously, while inwardly feeling incredibly fortunate.

Thankfully, this world's energy level is 0, so only ordinary animals have appeared. It would be disastrous if a magical monster had appeared.

However, starting from the next world, monsters might appear. Thinking of this, Su Li began to curse those five bastards in her heart, wishing them a terrible death.

The hyena leader led his hyenas around the high wall, finally letting out a roar.

One of the hyenas squeezed into the narrow hole that Zurich had deliberately left.

Su Li quickly came down the stairs, then took the sledgehammer and waited at the entrance of the cave.

The sound of friction came from inside the cave. Su Li raised the sledgehammer and waited for the right moment.

A grayish-brown dog's head suddenly emerged from the hole, and Zuli swung his hammer down.

"80!"

With a bang, the dog's head was split open.

"Hey, a beast is a beast, even this little trick works." Su Li couldn't help but feel a little smug. In just a short while, he had already killed 3 of them, and 2 others were burned and their skin was torn open, rendering them unable to fight.

There are still 6 hyenas left. That's nothing!

Smugly, Zuli arrived at the main gate, where the hyenas were all loitering.

A two-meter-high fire pit is definitely something a hyena could jump over, given their abilities. However, these animals are terrified of fire, and even Su Li was intimidated by the sight of such a blazing fire, with flames reaching two meters high. That's why the pack of dogs hadn't jumped over it earlier.

However, under the system's pressure, the hyenas tried to enter from both sides but couldn't. They had no choice but to take a risk, overcoming their fear of the flames and focusing on the location of the fire pit.

Su Li raised his two-handed sword, awaiting the hyena's response.

The hyena was only 2 meters away from him, a distance from which he could already smell its stench. Zuli even spotted the feathers of a red-feathered bird on one of the hyenas. It seemed that this pack of hyenas usually ate those red-feathered birds.

The hyenas hesitated for a long time, advancing, retreating, and advancing again, repeating this several times. Finally, at the leader's howl, one hyena took a few steps back, then took a running start and pounced on Su Li.

As we all know, you can't change direction in the air. Plus, this passage is very narrow, only one meter wide. If Su Li can still miss with her cut at this distance, she might as well just hang herself.

The greatsword in Su Li's hand flashed through the air like a bolt of lightning, reflecting crimson flames, and slammed down hard on the hyena's head.

However, it wasn't over yet; another hyena pounced right after.

However, Su Li had already practiced many times. Although he didn't understand swordsmanship, he could still simulate situations and practice a move without any problem.

After he struck the hyena, his hand didn't stop; he gripped his longsword and drew circles behind him. Then, he raised his left foot, aimed at the second wolf, and delivered a powerful kick.

He kicked the hyena in the face, sending it flying and crashing into another hyena behind it.

Then at that moment, Su Li raised her sword again and slashed at the fourth hyena, sending it crashing into the fire pit.

In this way, the four hyenas were thrown into the fire pit by Zuli.

Su Li gripped her two-handed sword with both hands, and after striking the hyena's head, she used the recoil to raise the sword upwards, took a step forward, and thrust it at the fifth hyena.

This time, the needle successfully pierced the hyena's head, slicing open its jaw and then stabbing its shoulder, successfully pushing the dog away.

At this point, Su Li had exhausted her strength and could no longer change her moves.

It was at this moment that the last hyena leader pounced on Su Li.

Zuli instinctively raised her arm and used her gauntlet to block the hyena's bite that was aimed at her throat.

After the hyena bit Su Li's arm, it pounced on her, scratching at her body with its claws.

However, Su Li was wearing wooden armor, which limited the damage she could sustain, but it wasn't enough to completely block all attacks. Several scratches immediately appeared on Su Li's shoulder.

When her shoulder was grabbed, Su Li's anger erupted instantly.

The beasts couldn't understand that Sully's fear of the hyenas wasn't because he was afraid of death, but because he was afraid of getting hurt.

The arrogant upright ape wasn't incapable of dealing with the hyenas; he simply wanted to eliminate them without taking any damage.

So when he could no longer remain unharmed, the murderous intent within him was immediately ignited. He began to truly display the power of the terrifying upright ape, the king of the Blue Star's ecosystem.

With a roar, Su Li slammed into the wall, dragging the hyena with him. He seemed to have gone mad, repeatedly crashing into the thin, sloping wall to the left of the fire pit. The hyena became the unfortunate victim between Su Li and the wall, being violently squeezed and bumped.

After a few moments, the deliberately unstable tilted wall collapsed, and a large amount of stone fell into the fire pit, burying the hyenas howling inside.

Even in her rage, Su Li remembered that she had to deal with the hyenas in the fire pit first, otherwise, if they jumped out, she feared she would be devoured by them.

After pinning the hyena down, Su Li pressed it hard to the ground, letting the hyena's claws scratch wildly at her body, leaving behind a pile of wood chips.

Then, using his free right hand, he viciously poked out the hyena's eyes, and then repeatedly smashed the hyena's eye sockets with his gauntlet.
