Survival in the apocalypse: I rely on reading to become stronger and save the world

Chapter 6 Talent
  The tall plants were still swaying with the cold wind. Listening to the rhythmic sounds, Chang Ning shivered several times involuntarily.

She also wanted to stand still, but when there was a rustling sound from the forest on the right that was obviously different from before, and it was getting closer and closer to her...

Chang Ning can no longer stand!

She almost subconsciously headed in the direction the man left, struggling to pull the plants blocking the way while walking forward as fast as she could.

Chang Ning could clearly hear the rustling sound approaching behind her. It was a terrifying sense of pursuit, with a strong sense of oppression, which prompted her to unconsciously speed up her pace again!

I don’t know whether she was walking too fast and her steps were not steady enough, or whether the tall corn forest blocked her vision too much. Chang Ning accidentally tripped under her feet, and she fell forward uncontrollably.

Fortunately, the soil was still soft, so she didn't fall too hard. But when she put her hands on the ground and tried to get up, her left hand touched a thick layer!
  Chang Ning lowered his head and saw that the dark red color on his palm was very eye-catching.

She was startled and turned her head to look subconsciously. In an instant, her pupils shrank sharply...

A burly man lay motionless on the ground with a ferocious face. There was a huge irregular wound on his chest, so that Chang Ning could see the blood in it at a glance...

The original heart has disappeared, replaced by the remaining tissue caused by the vigorous tearing, which is intertwined in an awkward manner. There are even white worms crawling faintly among them, and the man's body is already dark red. One piece, I don’t know how long it has been dead...

Even though Chang Ning had made some mental preparations, what she saw in front of her was still far beyond her psychological endurance!

Almost the moment she saw the person's death clearly, her stomach was churning crazily, her body felt weak, she tilted her head and vomited crazily!
  Chang Ning has never seen such a bloody scene at such a close distance. It is really disgusting...

At this moment, it seemed that it was even difficult for her to breathe!

Of course, for Chang Ning, this is not the worst!
  Because when she finally took a breath, she looked up and saw a pair of red eyes in the forest directly opposite, staring straight at her!

Immediately afterwards, a soft "squeaking" sound came from my ears, like the laughter of a devil...

Chang Ning swallowed hard, the expression on his face was uglier than crying...

All I could think about was, could this thing be that red-eyed, yellow-haired rat?
  Then she saw a ginger-covered mouse walking out of the forest step by step, staring at her with its teeth bared, obviously having locked her in as its prey!

it's over...

Chang Ning closed her eyes and almost used up all her strength to shout out the words she had wanted to shout for a long time, "Mo Tianxing, where did you die???"

Almost at the moment Chang Ning shouted, the red-eyed yellow-furred rat suddenly jumped up, opened its mouth wide and rushed towards her...

Chang Ning wanted to run, but her whole body didn't obey her orders at all, and she couldn't use any strength at all.

Seeing that the terrifying monster was about to pounce on him, a cold light suddenly came from the left, carrying a fierce evil spirit and heading straight towards the red-eyed yellow-haired rat at an extremely fast speed.

The red-eyed yellow-haired rat seemed to suddenly sense danger, and turned around to escape...

However, the beam of light was so fast that the red-eyed yellow-haired rat had no time to dodge, and passed directly through the middle of its body...

Accompanied by a miserable cry, the beast that was arrogant and wanton and wanted to tear a human into its belly a second ago has been forcefully cut in two from the middle of its head. It cannot die anymore!
  Then, a tall and tall man in black clothes slowly walked out of the shadows with steady steps...

As for Chang Ning, she didn't even have time to rejoice at her narrow escape. She was completely stunned... Because all she could think about was the two blockbuster messages just sent by the system.

[System] Congratulations to player Chang Ning for successfully activating his talent: reading and writing! Current level: First grade!

[System] Congratulations to the player Chang Ning for learning a new vocabulary: red-eyed yellow-haired rat, and unlocking the book "Exotic Beast Dictionary". You can check vocabulary details through this dictionary at any time!
  Reading and writing? What kind of talent is this?
  New vocabulary? And the "Dictionary of Alien Beasts"?
  What are these things?
  Chang Ning's mind was now completely occupied by these questions. She even forgot about fear, let alone the man standing in front of her, who was preoccupied with asking questions about the system!

……

Mo Tianxing followed the movement in the corn forest and soon killed a fleeing mouse.

But when he turned back, Chang Ning was no longer where he was.

So he could only follow the traces in the mud and chase her, and easily killed another mouse following her.

When Chang Ning accidentally fell down, Mo Tianxing had actually seen her figure from a distance!

It's just that he didn't expect that she would be so unlucky to encounter another monster at such a close range, so he slashed at it with his sword without thinking!
  At the same time, he also heard the girl's angry and somewhat aggrieved scream!

Where did he die?

He was actually always there, if she didn't move!
  Then now, Mo Tianxing walked slowly to Chang Ning, and what he saw was her sitting there motionless and stunned!

The man looked at her for a few seconds and whispered, "Chang Ning?"

No one paid attention to him!

Mo Tianxing, "..."

Are you scared?

He knelt down and faced her parallel, his well-jointed hands clasped the girl's slender chin and raised it slightly, his dark eyes as deep as an ancient well looked directly into her eyes for a moment, and repeated in a low and gentle voice Her name, "Chang Ning!"

The unfamiliar warmth spread along the fingertips, successfully calling Chang Ning's attention back. When his pupils refocused, what he saw was the familiar, handsome and deep face!

She opened her mouth and subconsciously called out his name, "Mo Tianxing..."

The man squinted his eyes, and from his angle he could clearly see the girl's fair, tender and almost perfect neck...

So slender, so fragile, it seems like you can completely control her with just a pinch!
  Mo Tianxing's eyes darkened slightly, but his face was still stern. Even his voice was as cold and venomous as ever, "Looks like you're not stupid yet!"

Chang Ning, "..."

Great, she's totally sober now!
  Chang Ning knocked the man's hand off her chin and gave him an unceremonious look, "Who are you calling stupid?"
