War Lord

Chapter 116: Before Dawn

In the dark, the pupils of two colors of emerald green and brilliant red light up. Under the faint red light of the radiation cloud, a two-headed monitor lizard got out of the underground waterway and began to search for food by itself.

This is a mutated lizard creature, the size of a hunting dog. The surface layer is covered with scales that can refract ambient light, which can blend the colors of one's body and the surrounding environment. This ability has a high degree of invisibility, but it is far from the complete invisibility of the lurker.

The mutant double-headed monitor lizard has a sac-like organ in the mouth of each head. This organ stores venom and burning fluid, and there is a small hole in the organ, which has the function of compression and squeezing. When the monitor lizard needs it, the two big heads can spray poisonous fog and flames.

The double-headed monitor lizard is not a very powerful alien beast. Due to the limitation of its body structure, its combat radius is limited to the arc-shaped space within three meters in front of its head. For hunters who know the monitor lizard, this kind of mutant beast can easily kill it as long as it cuts in from behind.

Right now, the monitor lizard crawled into a building quickly. This is a residential building with more than 20 floors. However, due to the baptism of meteorite rain in the past and years of weathering, the building with more than six floors has tilted and collapsed. The body of the building is now embedded in a supermarket across the street, lying across the street, becoming a huge roadblock.

Monitor lizards have very smart noses. They are naturally short-sighted, and their vision limit is equal to the combat radius. Especially in the middle of the night, the vision of the monitor lizard is greatly reduced. But their eyesight is degraded, but they have a keen sense of smell. Especially for the smell of blood, the monitor lizard is even more unfamiliar.

It swam into this abandoned building, and it was attracted by the imperceptible smell of blood wafting in the air.

Blood means fresh flesh and blood, and fresh flesh means food. For the monitor lizard who hasn't had any food for three days, this is a big meal. The monitor lizard has thick pads on its feet, which makes it silent. In this way, the monitor lizard quickly came to the fifth floor along the corridor. There are four gates on each side of the long walkway. The monitor lizard is like a hunting dog, arching its nose every time it passes through a gate, and sniffing the air inside the gate to distinguish the source of the **** smell.

In front of a door on the left at the end of the corridor, the monitor lizard's eyes lit up at the same time, and it had determined that the food was in this house. So it arched its head and pushed open the concealed door.

Half of the area of ​​the house was piled up with collapsed waste soil and bricks. A shallow blood stain started from the window of the room facing the street and extended towards the direction of the bedroom. The monitor lizard followed this bloodstain to the bedroom. In the well-preserved bedroom, a figure shrank in the direction of the corner. The fresh smell of blood comes from this human being.

The monitor lizard swam over, and only after it got close did it see clearly that the human seemed to have passed out in a faint. The fluctuation of his chest from time to time indicated that he was not a corpse. A fresh living person was enough for the monitor lizard to feed for a few days. And beside this human being, there is a strange creature.

The chubby creature looked very weak, and the diamond-shaped coat of arms on the forehead was shining with a faint green light.

Although the monitor lizard also eats other abnormal creatures when it is extremely hungry, when there is a big living person in front of it, it is unwilling to try the strange meat of the abnormal creature. Compared with mutant creatures, human flesh and blood are more delicious, which also makes humans a universal food for almost all mutant beasts.

So it swam silently towards the human in the corner. The man sat on the ground, so the monitor lizard could easily reach the height of his neck. One of the huge mouths of the monitor lizard opened, and the sharp inverted teeth would easily bite the fragile neck of human beings.

But at this moment, the human being who was still fainted the moment before suddenly opened his eyes.

The monitor lizard instinctively felt the danger, it was too late to back up, and the upper and lower lips and jaws of its open mouth had been caught by this person with both hands. His seemingly weak palm was never scratched by the sharp teeth of his mouth when he grasped the monitor lizard tightly.

The human in the corner suddenly opened his mouth and exhaled a burst of heat, followed by a sudden explosion of force on his hands. He took a point to either side, breaking the monitor lizard's big mouth abruptly. Turbid yellow lizard blood spattered from the torn muscles, and a few points splashed on his lips. The man licked his tongue inadvertently, and his eyes lit up.

The other head of the monitor lizard suddenly panicked when he saw this look. It couldn't be more familiar with this look, and it would show this look whenever it saw the food it liked. But one of the heads fell into the hands of others, and the monitor lizard wanted to retreat.

The person who was still sitting on the ground suddenly jumped up. He stepped heavily on the other head of the monitor lizard and lifted it with both hands. The monitor lizard only felt severe pain, and the muscle between its two big heads was immediately torn. In the splash of the lizard scales, more lizard blood flowed out.

The man whispered, but directly bit the monitor lizard's wound with his mouth like a beast. The next moment, the monitor lizard found in horror that the blood in his body was constantly flowing into this person's mouth.

The roles of the hunter and the prey were immediately changed. The monitor lizard did not expect that it would not be able to hunt, but in the end it would become food for others.

It struggled hard, but this person's hands and feet were like cast iron, and he couldn't escape with the power of a monitor lizard. With the loss of blood, the monitor lizard's strength is getting smaller and smaller. At the end, it finally gave up resistance and waited quietly for death.

When he found that there was no more fresh blood in his mouth, Zero slowly let go of the monitor lizard. The monitor lizard was dead, and the corpse that had lost almost 90% of its blood was lying on the ground limp.

If anyone sees Zero now, he will find that his eyes are filled with a crazy look, just like a hungry beast. It took a moment for this look to fade away. When his eyes returned to his usual cold expression again, Zero looked at his hand and the corpse of the monitor lizard on the ground in disbelief.

He only remembered seeing the monitor lizard when he woke up just now, and he broke the monitor lizard's mouth with a sense of self-protection. However, when the monitor lizard's blood inlet ~lightnovelpub.net~ that smelly and sour blood rolled into his body along Zil's esophagus, Zil's instinct sent a signal of demand.

He lost too much blood, and he desperately needs fresh blood. So the instinctive reaction immediately overwhelmed reason, which made Zero **** the monitor lizard's blood like a vampire bat. After eating a meal of lizard blood, Ling clearly felt that the vitality in his body was constantly recovering.

A slight itching sensation came from the wound on the left arm, which was a sign of wound healing. Zero unwrapped the bandage on his arm, and the flesh and blood that had been lost had grown back. The newly-born muscles and skin are still blushing. This color will fade away within 24 hours, and by then, zero's arm will look like it hasn't been injured.

He moved his left hand, and the signal from the arm to the brain told him that, in fact, the function of the arm had not fully recovered. Both the muscle strength and the nerve response have dropped by about 10% to 20%. Although the lost essence and blood have been replenished to a certain extent, lizard blood is a foreign object after all. After zero body absorption and decomposition, less than 30% of the amount can be used.

This is not enough for Zero to regain all his vitality. Now he just seems to have recovered roughly, but to fight, he has not even half of his usual combat power.

Ling looked at the tactical watch, and the words 4:23 was displayed on it. Looking out the window again, the eastern sky is brighter than other directions, and dawn is about to come. But before dawn, the world plunged into the deepest darkness. And during this time, it was also the most dangerous moment in the wilderness. Zero could feel the sharp tingling sensation from his skin. These dangerous signals came from the almost ubiquitous unknown creatures in the ruins.

It was the time when these creatures were most hungry, and Ling picked up Lala and prepared to leave. He didn't plan to be food for the alien beast, even if he was still weak.
