Jonathan let out a breath as he watched the policemen fall prey to the Iron Fang Dogs. As the final one died the Iron Fang Dogs began to feed on the dead bodies.

Because of their sensitive tongues, they had a habit of coating their mouths with saliva while they ate. This led to them leaving their mouths open as they ate.

Jonathan realized this was the perfect opportunity for him. He held the gun in his hand up high at the closest Iron Fang Dog. Because it was facing him it was an easy shot.

The monster gobbled down the bodies near it as if it was nothing. The gun in Jonathan's hand aimed directly at the dog's mouth and shot.

BANG~

BANG~

Two shots rang out about a single second apart from each other. Both bullets hit the Iron Fang Dog in its tongue. Its screams were filled with rage. The hardest part was finished. All Jonathan had to do now was shoot it a few more times and the dog would be dead.

The remaining three Iron Fang Dogs saw what happened but didn't know the reason as to why. Their instinct was split on running or waiting for the other dog to die so they could eat it.

One of them still had their mouth open as it had just finished eating. Jonathan aimed at this Iron Fang Dog's tongue and two more shots rang out.

BANG~

BANG~

The dog fell to the ground in pain. Its screams were just as loud as the other Iron Fang Dog laying on the floor. The remaining Iron Fang Dogs finally got the message and ran far behind a couple of houses.

Jonathan let out a sigh as the pressure on him was lowered. He now only had to deal with two injured Iron Fang Dogs. He slowly took aim at the first Iron Fang Dog and...

BANG~

BANG~

It let out another scream as it was shot in its mouth two more times. The dog began to scream even louder as blood began to glow out of its mouth. It would die soon. With that Jonathan aimed at the second Iron Fang Dog and did the same.

BANG~

BANG~

Both dogs were in horrible agony and would soon die. After about five minutes Jonathan walked out from behind the tree. He began to approach the dead dogs.

An intense fear suddenly hit him, something was wrong. He quickly followed his instinct and jumped backwards. As he did one of the Iron Fang Dogs that had run away suddenly jumped in front of him.

WHOOSH~

"Shit!" It waited for the attacker to come out before going back. Jonathan scolded himself as he should have realized that these creatures were not intelligent species. They only did what their instinct told them. Food was above all else.

The other iron Fang Dog loomed in the background as the one closest to Jonathan ran forward again in an attempt to bite him. But Jonathans Spirit helped him dodge again. He quickly jumped to the left.

He aimed towards the dog's mouth and shot.

BANG~

The bullet was lodged in its mouth as the Fangs destroyed protected its tongue. Jonathan knew he was in a desperate situation. If he didn't do something soon it would probably mean his death.

The Iron Fang Dog slowly approached Jonathan as if waiting for an opening. There was only the sounds of the dog in front of him growling as if it had already won.

It jumped towards Jonathan in a large leap. This was an opportunity for him. Just as the Iron Fang Dog reached him two shots rang out.

BANG~

BANG~

Jonathan and the dog both flew back several feet. The dog began to scream in pain and in anger. Although one of the bullets missed the other was stuck inside of its tongue.

Jonathan sighed deeply. The Iron Fang Dog was down, but he also sustained an injury. A large scratch wound started to bleed from his chest.

"Fuck!" The pain was almost unbearable. But Jonathan has used his Spirit stat level to try and avoid the pain. He stood up and found that his gun was now under the Iron Fang Dog that he had just shot.

"Fuck! These pieces of shits also ate the other guns too?"

The only weapon he had left now were the two knives packs in his pockets. It was quite obvious Jonathan couldn't kill the remaining Iron Fang Dogs with two knives without risking his own life.

He slowly approached the last one he had shot and took out his knives. A deep stab into the dog had killed it. But he wasn't done there. He kept on stabbing until the knife hit something hard.

Smiling Jonathan stuck his hand down the bloody dog's body and pulled out a glowing pearl. The pearl was enclosed in Jonathan's hand as he crushed it lightly. The light shines over his body for only a moment before disappearing.

"Hope my first Stat Pearl is good!"

A voice sounded out inside his head, "Your strength stat has increased by 2%!"

In that same instant, Jonathan felt his body become stronger. He felt full of energy, but now was not the time to get excited about stats. He reached for the gun underneath the dead dog and pulled it out.

He looked for the remaining Iron Fang Dog but it was nowhere to be found. Feeling uneasy Jonathan began to move towards the street to get into a more open space. While doing so he took the Stat Pearls out of the other dead Iron Fang Dogs.

But instead of using them Jonathan saved them within his status, "Agility and Constitution, nice!"

He stood on the street looking around, waiting for something to appear in this apocalyptic world. He was able to see the destruction one hour had caused to the world. It was disgusting. But Jonathan only scoffed at the sight.

Standing there he was alone. The wind blew in his face as he waited for something to come and attack him. Yet nothing came. The Iron Fang Dog was already long gone. But Jonathan stood his ground. He would be prepared for anything. He already promised himself that this time around, mistakes would not be made.
