4: Chapter 4 Giant Rabbit

Outside the Highway, a Giant Rabbit standing over 1.3 meters tall was staring at Qin Yun with its blood-red eyes!

What terrified him was that the rabbit, baring its large front teeth, was actually smiling at him and even waving!

This size, combined with such strange behavior and the mist-shrouded environment, really gave Qin Yun a huge fright!

It really wasn't that he was a coward; it was just that the Giant Rabbit's behavior was too eerie!

He could guarantee that even if a ferocious Tyrannosaurus Rex appeared outside the Highway, he wouldn't be this scared!

Of course, he would definitely still be afraid.

"Meow-rawr!"

Cat Xiaoxiao, whose fur was already standing on end, was acting very fierce!

This was a Li Hua cat for you!

Even if she was scared inside and knew she couldn't win, she wouldn't show any signs of backing down.

"Xiaoxiao, don't get excited. We are absolutely safe on the Highway!"

Qin Yun scooped Cat Xiaoxiao off his shoulder into his arms, gently stroking her bristling fur, as if to calm his own heart as well.

Can't panic, must stay calm!

Taking a deep breath, Qin Yun kicked down the kickstand and stepped off the electric vehicle.

"Be a good girl, Xiaoxiao. You must remember, no matter what happens, do not run off the Highway!"

After giving this serious instruction, Qin Yun placed Cat Xiaoxiao back on his shoulder. He then pulled out the steel bar tied to the back seat and took a kitchen knife from the bucket.

Seeing this, Cat Xiaoxiao, who was squatting on his shoulder, immediately bared her teeth and meowed fiercely at the Giant Rabbit outside the Highway.

"Awesome, that's it! Provoke that big rabbit!"

Encouraged, Cat Xiaoxiao rubbed against Qin Yun's neck and meowed softly.

As long as she could help her master, that was all that mattered!

Thus, she continued to make various provocative gestures at the Giant Rabbit outside the Highway.

Qin Yun also tried his best to make a fierce expression while slowly walking toward the edge of the Highway.

Naturally, he wouldn't actually step off the Highway; his main goal was to see if he could lure the Giant Rabbit, which was over seventy meters away, to the edge of the road!

Perhaps the probability of successfully hunting the Giant Rabbit was very low, but an opportunity like this, delivered right to his doorstep, was worth a try!

Qin Yun gripped the steel bar tightly, pointed it at the rabbit outside the Highway, and shouted, "Come over here!"

The Giant Rabbit seemed to have been startled; not only did it not approach the Highway, it even took a step back.

Qin Yun quickly dropped his fierce expression and stayed where he was.

He just wanted to bolster his own courage; he never thought his shout would actually scare the Giant Rabbit.

Don't be fooled by how decisive he looked when he pulled out the steel bar and picked up the kitchen knife; in reality, he was incredibly nervous inside!

After all, that was a Giant Rabbit over 1.3 meters tall, with large front teeth, thick hind legs, and extremely strange behavior!

Having only ever killed chickens and fish before, it was only natural for him to feel nervous facing such a large rabbit for the first time.

Qin Yun cheered himself on internally and continued to move slowly toward the edge of the Highway.

The big rabbit outside the Highway didn't retreat, but it opened its mouth wide, making its already large front teeth look even bigger!

"Xiaoxiao, we'll just stay here and not go out, and see if that big rabbit will come over."

Qin Yun whispered as he arrived at the edge of the Highway.

"Meow."

Cat Xiaoxiao meowed, indicating that she would be very obedient to her master.

Qin Yun gripped the steel bar so tightly his knuckles turned white, but the big rabbit remained motionless, showing absolutely no intention of moving forward!

This stalemate wouldn't do. The countdown on the survivor panel had been steadily decreasing ever since he stopped the electric vehicle!

Qin Yun's brain raced, and he suddenly remembered a short video he had seen on YinFu.

Make himself look smaller, or if that didn't work, turn his back to create an opportunity for the other party!

Immediately, while turning to his right, Qin Yun slowly crouched down, resting his right hand holding the steel bar against the ground to make himself look even smaller.

Not long after he crouched, he noticed from the corner of his eye that the Giant Rabbit had moved!

Its thick legs pushed off the ground violently, and in one leap, it covered a distance of nearly twenty meters!

Even though he knew he was safe on the Highway, Qin Yun's heart couldn't help but race; his pupils dilated, and he was incredibly nervous. Cat Xiaoxiao on his shoulder also bristled again, arching her back and letting out a warning meow.

Qin Yun liked felines, so he knew clearly that a tiger's jumping distance generally didn't exceed ten meters, yet this Giant Rabbit jumped nearly twenty meters from a standstill!

He absolutely could not let it kick him!

"Xiaoxiao, remember, you are not allowed to run off the Highway!"

Although Cat Xiaoxiao couldn't refuse his commands since she became his pet, he still couldn't help but instruct her again in a serious tone.

Qin Yun pressed his lips together, gripped the steel bar with his right hand, and stared intently at the Giant Rabbit as it leaped for the third time.

Forcing himself to calm down, he tried to predict the Giant Rabbit's movements.

At this distance, it would perform a fourth jump and then use its thick hind legs to kick at him!

But what the Giant Rabbit didn't know was that the Highway was currently safe for Survivors!

Regardless of whether it eventually hit some unknown protective barrier or entered the Highway directly, Qin Yun would have at least one excellent opportunity to attack!

This excellent opportunity would be best used to attack its legs, causing it to lose its ability to move normally!

Here it comes, the fourth jump!

Just as the Giant Rabbit was about to touch the boundary line, Qin Yun used the force of twisting his body to stand up and thrust the steel bar in his right hand forward with all his might!

"Bang, thud!"

The sounds of the collision and the piercing impact rang out one after another!

The Giant Rabbit had hit some unknown barrier, and the sharp end of the steel bar had successfully pierced the rabbit's thigh!

The kitchen knife in Qin Yun's left hand also slashed into the Giant Rabbit's body!

Cat Xiaoxiao, having jumped down from his shoulder, meowed lowly at the edge of the Highway, her bent hind legs indicating that she was ready to pounce and fight at any moment.

After hacking several times with the kitchen knife, Qin Yun realized something was wrong.

How could the seemingly fierce and swift Giant Rabbit be so vulnerable?

Regaining his composure, Qin Yun noticed that the Giant Rabbit's forehead was concave, with blood flowing from the dent, and its body was twitching from time to time.

This... so, it had died from the impact right from the start?

In ancient times, a small rabbit died from hitting a tree stump; today, a Giant Rabbit died from hitting the air—no, wait, from hitting a barrier?

The Giant Rabbit's body twitched just then, as if to say it wasn't dead yet and could still be saved.

Or did it twitch even after death?

Without overthinking it, Qin Yun quickly put down the kitchen knife, pulled out the steel bar with both hands, and then used all his strength to stab it into the dent on the rabbit's head, giving it a good stir for good measure.

Now it should be thoroughly dead, right?

He wondered if this Giant Rabbit had a lover and if it would be resurrected.

Just as he recalled a widely circulated image, a notification popped up on the survivor panel in Qin Yun's mind.

Could there be some special reward?

With a thought, Qin Yun opened the survivor panel.
