4 Chapter 4: Die!

After carefully inspecting her surrounding, Ning quickly discovered many dismembered chunks of rotten flesh on the sides of the road.

Her puppy nose twitched, but there was nothing she could do about it. Right now, she very much wanted to take a warm bath, but that too seemed to be a faraway dream.

The wind blow.

An awful pungent smell wafted along with the breeze, and the street was tainted with deep red blood, making this place more "alive" than ever.

Then, upon noticing the countless wiggling white maggots, Ning quickly came up with an idea.

'If I kill them, would I get exp?' She thought, getting excited, 'These little things numbered in the millions. And if they could give me exp, then how awesome would that be? There is hope! Ahh~ I could see my dazzling future after awakening the system~ hahaha~.'

Suppressed her sense of cleanliness, Ning gawked at a lone maggot hidden below the car tire.

Gulping down her dried throat, Ning walked over, raised her little paw, and resolutely squashed it down without any hesitation.

However, unexpectedly, the maggot comes out unscathed.

'Yup, definitely abnormal. Even a maggot is as big as my paw. What in the world is this place? Could this be that plot where animals, too, have begun to mutate? If that's so, then the zombies will be terrifying.'

Ning exerted more strength into her paw with an expressionless face and attacked,

'Take this, you lowly worm!'

Boing!

Once again, Ning's paw feels as if it has hit a springy rubber ball and casually bounced off.

Seeing this, she instantly got furious,

'Looked like I have significantly underestimated you lowly maggot!' A sinister expression slowly crept onto Ning's face as she looked at the source of her humiliation menacingly.

'Kukukuku, I was only playing previously. After all, your defense is just pure trash in front of me once I get into my serious mode. You, a lowly maggot, aren't worthy of being my opponent! Now take this— ultimate puppy claw attack!'

As Ning roared impressively inside her mind, her paw descended with imposing momentum, and tiny puppy claws spontaneously emerged out of her toes.

Twat!

Although Ning's claws weren't sharp, they were pointy enough to pierce through the thin membrane of the fat maggot. Following the sound of something squishy being mashed, white juice flew everywhere.

'Ugh...'

Despite having defeated her first opponent in this apocalyptic world, Ning doesn't felt happy at the sight of the sticky white liquid dirtied her paw.

'God! I swear, this so troubles some...'

But to her disappointment, the long-awaited system prompt didn't appear, which made her somewhat disheartened.
