My Post-Apocalyptic Survival Journey After Becoming a Beautiful Girl

Just look at me!

'This time... I'm dead, there's no helping it. The Big Black Eagle was thrown the moment it flew out... Was I... too confident?'

Thinking this in my mind, my body, as if unwilling to give up, subconsciously reached for the protruding steel rebar on my back. The instant I touched the rough metal surface, I suddenly remembered this thing...

I remember that day, I saw a group of children in the neighborhood who had stolen a half-meter-long steel rebar from a construction site. I also remember at the time, the child's mother was scolding him, shouting so loud that almost the entire neighborhood could hear!

I vaguely remember...

The child's mother seemed to say...

"What do you need this thing for!! It's so sharp over there, what if you stab someone? Throw it away! Go home and do your homework!!"

It's steel rebar!! And it's steel rebar with a very sharp end...

My chance... might only come once. That is, when it pounces. Only then can I lift the steel rebar, because I have almost no strength left right now...

But...

What I didn't expect at all was that the monster didn't pounce directly to eat me. Instead, it suddenly extended a hand and grabbed me directly by the face!!!

And I could only watch as the monster's palm gradually enlarged in my vision, watching the flesh threads on it wriggle like worms...

'So... it uses these flesh threads to climb?'

The next second, I was caught. Instinctively, I raised my left hand, wanting to grab this claw. Just then, I suddenly felt a great force. The monster actually clenched my head and lifted me up!

My entire body's weight was supported by my neck. If my body wasn't so light right now, this move alone would probably have dislocated my spine!

I don't know why the monster didn't kill me immediately, but instead lifted me high up. However, my left hand had already grabbed its arm, which was covered in small flesh nodules. And in my right hand... that cold, rough feeling gave me a final shred of struggle.

'Don't rush... don't rush... if I miss this chance... I'm dead!!'

I can't see anything in front of me, but it's obvious that this monster is observing me. Its body is very tall, able to lift me, who am I about 1.7 meters tall, high up. I estimate that its hind legs, while having the flexibility of its forelimbs, also have the function of supporting its body to stand.

I don't know how high I was lifted, and it's pitch black in front of me. The feeling of those flesh threads sticking to my cheeks and constantly wriggling made me feel sick!

I wish I could kill it right now!!

'No! Don't rush! Absolutely don't rush, I only have one chance!!!'

Admonishing myself inwardly, I relaxed. I don't know if this monster has enough intelligence to see through the hand I'm hiding behind my back, but this is the only way to make the monster relax a little.

'Why... no movement?'

My body has been hanging for about ten seconds, but the monster hasn't made any further moves?

'What is it trying to do!!!'

Suddenly! Another slippery claw actually drilled up from a gap in my waist!! A moist, cold sensation made all the pores on my body stand on end, and this disgusting feeling directly shot from the base of my spine to my scalp, making even my scalp feel itchy!!

However... in the next second, that claw actually started to tear my shirt!!

"Riiip!!"

With a tearing sound, I felt my skin go cold all over, and at the same time, I felt the sun on my back! And that claw, it was actually trying to rip my bra!!

'Damn it!!! Does this monster want to mate?!!! Even if I die, I'll never let you succeed!!!'

Thinking of the terrifying scene that would unfold, I made up my mind to die before letting the monster succeed!

My hand, hidden behind my back, suddenly exerted force backward, driving the steel rebar that was leaning against my back straight forward!!

"Dieeeeee!!!"

Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Divine Artifact, Big Black Eagle

"Die!!!"

The monster's hand only gripped the part above my nose, which allowed me to shout. The next second!

"Squelch!!!"

"Awoooooooo!!!"

A piercing shriek entered my ears, and at the same time, I felt the steel rebar in my hand pierce into something. Before I could even **, a strange force squeezed my head painfully, and it actually threw me away!

The moment I opened my eyes, I caught a fleeting glimpse of the monster... It was currently clutching its head, its single large eye emitting a terrible scream!

With a dizzying spin, I rolled into the grass. That one move almost snapped my neck. In a daze, I heard the unbearable 'crackling' sound of my cervical spine.

Falling into the grass, the soft blades cushioned my impact, which I was grateful for, but... I no longer had the strength to run. My flip-flops had already disappeared somewhere when I was first hit. Moreover... that strange state had just ended...

"Am I... really going to die here?"

Struggling to get up, a "crackling~" sound suddenly came from my right. In near despair, I quickly looked down!!

"Big Black Eagle!!!"

Right beside my right hand, the Big Black Eagle, already loaded with a bolt and drawn taut, lay quietly. In that instant, nothing else existed in my eyes!

I grabbed the Big Black Eagle. Its heavy weight made it difficult to lift. It was covered in some dirt and grass roots, perhaps from when it landed.

But I didn't look closely. As I picked up the Big Black Eagle, the strange 'slap-slap' of footsteps sounded almost simultaneously!!

It's here!!

I instinctively flinched and quickly turned my head to look at the monster. It charged over. Even with only one eye, it accurately lunged towards me. In that moment, I could even see the slightly whitened, rotting shreds of flesh clinging to the sharp teeth in its gaping maw!!

"Die!"

In an instant, I raised the Big Black Eagle. The monster, using the momentum of its charge, leaped directly towards me!!!

"Click!!"

The moment I pulled the trigger, I left my fate to chance. Its speed was simply too fast; I couldn't even track its movements. The next second, the monster crashed into me!

"Ugh!"

I only had time to let out a muffled groan before my consciousness sank into darkness, and I could see nothing before my eyes...

When I slowly woke up, I felt a suffocating tightness in my chest. At the same time, my body felt as if it were wrapped in dozens of pounds of cotton, making even the slightest movement incredibly difficult.

As soon as I reached out, I touched something cold and limp, with a texture like finger-sized bumps. This made me jolt violently!

I snapped my eyes open, and the monster right before me was lying on top of me!!

My mind raced with all sorts of inappropriate thoughts, and instinctively, I struggled. The monster, as if it were a corpse, was pushed aside by me.

It landed in the grass, covered in dirt.

"Is it... dead?"

I rolled over and sat up, feeling a wave of aches all over my body. I took a deep breath and, by the moonlight, looked at the monster lying there...

The monster... it was still the same monster, but at this moment, a crossbow bolt protruded from its mouth, having pierced straight through the back of its head, revealing a sharp arrowhead with a black scab.
