Chapter 157 Tracking
After remembering the location of the building clearly, Lu Yao turned and left.

The next step is to follow the searcher's tracking path and carry out anti-tracking.

As a tiger, Lu Yao's sense of smell is not as developed as that of canines, and that of cats is better than that of humans.

Compared with other creatures, whether it is bears, dogs, or pigs, it is difficult to compare.

Bears in particular have the most developed sense of smell in the biological world, especially polar bears, which can smell people at a distance of 30 miles.

Of course, an overdeveloped sense of smell is not a good thing. The more smells you smell, the more smells you need to distinguish.

When a large number of smells and the tastes produced by different things in layers penetrate into the mind, the brain volume is small and problems are prone to occur.

Only the one that suits you is the best.

Lu Yao's current sense of smell is not as good as that of a searcher. This monster transformed from a hound has a more developed sense of smell than ordinary dogs, so it can find Lu Yao's traces in environments full of various smells.

But the good news is that the changed searcher, due to excessive salivation, still left a lot of traces along the way.

Lu Yao relied on this smell to carry out anti-tracking.

The first stop is the zoo.

Lu Yao was not surprised by this, after all, when he came here, the first stop was the zoo.

After returning to the zoo, Lu Yao soon discovered that the body of the Destroyer he had killed before had disappeared, including his head and body.

There were obvious traces of being dragged on the ground, as well as fresh wheel marks driven by trucks. At the same time, a few strange human breaths lingered in the air and slowly dissipated.

"That is to say, after I left, some humans rushed to the zoo and took the body of the Destroyer away."

"They have known about the existence of the Destroyer for a long time, and they have always paid a certain amount of attention to the Destroyer, but for some reason, they did not take the Destroyer away in time, and only after I completely killed them did they find a chance."

"Then, out of curiosity, I started tracking me and sent a hound called the Seeker."

"My existence has been exposed."

Although there was speculation at the very beginning, Lu Yao could not fully confirm this inference until he actually traced it all the way to the zoo.

It doesn't feel good to be watched.

As a tiger, he must always ensure that his body is not exposed. This is the survival rule of tigers, especially in the dangerous hunting stage.

However, this is not a forest, but a human city.

It's hard to do that.

Recalling the previous battles, Lu Yao used [Stealth] when he was on the road, [Gecko Swimming] when he climbed over the wall, and [Hind Kick] when facing mercenaries. At other times, Lu Yao did not use it. used other skills.

"I hope my ability to expose has not been discovered."

After confirming that he did not reveal more abilities, Lu Yao was a little relieved.

Then, he lowered his head again, sniffed the scent of the tracking dog, and re-entered the city.

This time, Lu Yao changed direction.

The mercenaries I encountered before were on the west side of Zhaka City, and the smell left by the tracking dogs came from the east.

After entering the eastern urban area of ​​Zhaka City, Lu Yao could clearly feel that the vitality in this area became a little stronger.

Although there are still zombies wandering outside, the number is far less than that in the west.

At the same time, a large number of roadblocks, boxes, and abandoned cars have also increased. Obviously, there were a lot of traces of human existence in this area before.

Following the scent left by the searchers, Lu Yao quickly found an iconic place.

Lu Yao shrugged his nose and stopped at a telegraph pole.

Here, there is the extra scent left by the seekers.

This way of leaving a scent is like the habit of hunting dogs, such as declaring territorial jurisdiction to other similar people, but after the mutation, the searcher should not have such an instinct.

Excluding this possibility means that the smell left behind should be used as a mark.

Turning his head to observe for a while, not long after, a smell of cooked meat came from the gap in the wall.

Lu Yao approached quietly, and then sniffed again, and the fragrance became stronger and stronger.

"Someone!"

After vigilantly observing the environment for a week, and after confirming that no one had noticed, Lu Yao quickly activated [Sneak], merging his figure and the wall into one.

Then, he tilted his head and looked towards the gap in the wall.

A huge inner space appeared in Lu Yao's eyes. At the same time, a large number of humans were entrenched in the open space in the center of the square, looking eagerly at the cauldron in the center.

Unrecognizable minced meat was cooking in the cauldron, and several men with guns stood guard in front of the cauldron, staring at the crowd not far away.

"Survivor camp?"

After observing for a while, Lu Yao understood.

This space hidden behind the wall is a survivor camp. After the virus broke out, a group of people gathered here to struggle to survive.

However, looking at the crowd waiting for the food distribution, Lu Yao could clearly feel that the survivors were not doing well. They all looked disheveled and weak, and even many of them were lying on the ground, that is, in front of the cauldron The guards with guns are in a better state of mind and can have energy to guard the food.

"Forget it if I send that little girl here."

Lu Yao quickly dismissed this idea.

Although the survivor camp lacked food, at least none of these people were infected, and the little girl was already infected. Bringing the little girl to this place not only harmed her, but also harmed this group of struggling humans.

"but this mark"

Lu Yao frowned. The searchers had obviously discovered the camp of survivors, but they didn't attack the survivors just because they wanted to track him down.

Human-controlled seekers, marked marks, survivors.
After a little contact, Lu Yao came to a bad conclusion.

The humans who released the searchers and the current survivors are obviously not the same people. It is very likely that the searchers will be the instructions of the humans behind the scenes, leaving a mark here, and maybe new searchers will be sent to the survivors at any time. Kill them all.

Those mercenaries said they were looking for survivors, but secretly they were looking for survivors to do some human experiments, right?

It's no wonder that Lu Yao thought so, mainly because the behavior of those mercenaries didn't seem like saving people at all, and the pursuers who searched for him didn't seem like good people who would protect the survivors.

"Forget it, what are you thinking about so much?"

On the scent left by the searchers, Lu Yao covered it with his own scent.

At least, his scent can stop some completely wild animals. As for whether it can work on infected searchers, remembering the previous battle, it should also work.
Discovering a camp of survivors was just a small accident on Lu Yao's way of tracking. He had no intention of saying hello to this group of people, and could only do his best to give a little bit of help.

On the road again, this time Lu Yao encountered some troubles not long after entering the city.

The searchers were in front of an intersection, and the scents were separated. It couldn't be said to be separated, but they should have gathered together from several directions.

In other words, when these searchers came, they did not come from one place, but were divided into several places.

This is a little troublesome, a city is so big, and his time is only three days, it is impossible to follow the scents one by one.

Just as Lu Yao was struggling, a familiar roar sounded.

Turning his head, Lu Yao saw behind a heavy truck that rolled over on the road, and another searcher appeared in his eyes.

There is no obvious difference between this Seeker and the previous Seekers, it still has a slender head and a shaved body.

Seeing this searcher, Lu Yao didn't take the initiative to take action, but immediately raised his head and looked around vigilantly.

Seekers are creatures controlled by humans. If they can take the initiative to find them, there must be human instructions behind them.

But unfortunately, after scanning all the surrounding buildings, Lu Yao did not find any human beings who might be ambushing.

If you are far away, Lu Yao can't smell their scent, but if you are close, no matter how well they hide, there will always be some traces.

"Roar!"

A few more roars sounded, this time the searcher did not take the initiative to attack, but kept barking and roaring to attract Lu Yao's attention.

Lu Yao frowned, turned around and jumped into a building, but what he didn't expect was that the searcher also chased after him.

This time it changed its strategy and opened the distance between them to tens of meters while roaring uninterruptedly.

Walking through the building, the voice behind him seemed to be lingering, screaming non-stop.

"I hate dogs more and more!"

Finally, Lu Yao paused and stopped suddenly.

Then, he turned his head to look at the searcher, his pupils were full of killing intent.

He was worried that this searcher would bring him into the ambush circle of humans. He didn't take the initiative to pursue him, he just wanted to hide his figure, but he was also worried that this guy would chase him and attract humans to chase him.

Put Lu Yao in a dilemma, but now, since this guy wants to die, let him die.

Limbs sped up, Lu Yao made a sudden leap, and rushed a few meters away, and the searcher on the other side also knew that he had completely angered the beast, pinched its tail on its buttocks, turned around and wanted to run.

But Lu Yao would never let this guy go.

Entering the building is to prevent humans from discovering his ability. After confirming that there are no hidden cameras or drones around, he uses [Bounce Power] again, draws a super long arc, and then slams down One shot.

"woo woo woo woo!"

With the last cry, Lu Yao let go of his bloody mouth, letting the searcher's head roll to the ground.

It turned over in the searcher's head again, this time, not only a chip, but also a tiny camera appeared in the eyes.

"I hate dogs!"

Glancing at the miniature camera, Lu Yao directly crushed it with his claws, but at this moment, there was a sound of "buzzing" propellers.

As soon as Lu Yao moved his body, he immediately approached the edge of the building. Looking up through the broken window, he saw an armed helicopter dragging a container and rushing towards the building where he was hiding.
