Chapter 116 Before Dawn

In the dark, the pupils of green and bright red light up. Under the light red light of radiation clouds, a two-headed giant lizard came out of the underground and began to forage for food.

This is a mutant lizard creature the size of a hound. The surface is covered with scales that can reflect the ambient light, which can integrate the color of your body with the surrounding environment. This ability has a highly hidden effect, but it is far worse than the complete invisibility of the lurker.

The mutant double-headed giant lizard has a sac-like organ in each of its mouth. This organ stores venom and combustion liquid, and there is a small hole in the organ, which has the function of compression and extrusion. Two big heads can spit out poisonous fog and flames when the giant lizard needs it.

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

At present, the giant 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, buildings above six floors have tilted and collapsed. Now the body of the building is embedded in a supermarket across the street, across the street, becoming a huge roadblock.

The noses of giant lizards are very smart. They are born with myopia, and their vision limit and combat radius are equivalent. Especially in the middle of the night, the eyesight of the giant lizard is greatly reduced. But they have a sensitive sense of smell. Especially for the smell of blood, the giant lizard is even more familiar with it.

It swam into the abandoned building, attracted by the imperceptible smell of blood in the air.

Bloody means fresh flesh and blood, while fresh flesh and blood means food. For a giant lizard who has no food for three days, this is like a big meal. The giant lizard has thick meat pads on the soles of its feet, which makes it move silently. In this way, the giant lizard quickly came to the fifth floor along the corridor. There are four gates on each side of the long walkway. The giant lizard is like a hound. Every time it passes through a door, it arches its nose and sniffs the air inside the door to distinguish the source of the bloody smell.

In front of a gate on the left side at the end of the corridor, the two eyes of the giant lizard lit up at the same time, and it has confirmed that the food is in the house. So it arched its head and pushed open the empty door.

Half of the area of the house is piled up with collapsed waste soil and masonry, and a shallow blood stain extends from the room facing the street window towards the bedroom. The giant lizard followed the blood stain to the bedroom, which was still well preserved, with a figure shrinking in the direction of the corner. The fresh smell of blood comes from this human.

The giant lizard swam over, and it didn't see until it approached that the human seemed to faint. The ups and downs of his chest show that he is not a corpse, and a fresh living man is enough for the giant lizard to eat for a few days. And next to this human, there is a strange creature.

This round creature looks very weak, and the diamond-shaped coat of arms on its forehead is flashing with a faint green light.

Although the giant lizard also eats other mutatic creatures when it is hungry, now when there is a big living person in front of it, it is not willing to try the strange meat of the mutable beasts. Compared with mute creatures, human flesh and blood are more delicious, which also makes humans a universal food for almost all mute beasts.

So it swam silently towards the human in the corner. The man sat on the ground, so the giant lizard could easily reach the height of his neck. One of the big mouths of the giant lizard opens, and its sharp teeth will easily bite the fragile neck of human beings.

But at this time, the human who was still dizzy at the previous moment suddenly opened his eyes.

The giant lizard instinctively felt the danger. It didn't have time to retreat. The two lips and jaws of its open mouth had been caught by the man with two hands. His seemingly weak palms were not scratched by the sharp teeth around his mouth when he grasped the giant lizard.

The human in the corner suddenly opened his mouth and exhaled a hot air, followed by a sudden explosion of great force on his hands. He broke the big mouth of the giant lizard on both sides. The torn muscles splashed turbid yellow lizard blood, and some of them splashed on his lips. The man inadvertently licked his tongue and his eyes lit up.

The other head of the giant lizard suddenly panicked when it saw this look. This kind of look is very familiar, and whenever it sees its favorite food, it will also show such eyes. But one of the heads fell into the hands of others, and the giant lizard had no way out.

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

The man screamed, but bit the wound of the giant lizard directly with his mouth like a beast. The next moment, the giant lizard was frightened to find that the blood in his body was constantly flowing into the man's mouth.

The roles of hunters and prey are immediately exchanged. The giant lizard did not expect that he could not hunt ferociously, but in the end it became other people's food.

It struggled, but the man's hands and feet were like iron, and he couldn't escape with the power of the giant lizard. With the loss of blood, the strength of the giant lizard is getting smaller and smaller. In the end, it finally gave up resistance and quietly waited for death.

When he found that there was no fresh blood to suck in his mouth, Zero slowly let go of the giant lizard. The giant lizard has died, and the body that has lost almost 90% of its blood lies softly on the ground.

If someone sees Zero now, they will find that his eyes are full of a crazy look, just like a hungry beast. This look went straight for a moment before it gradually faded. When his eyes returned to their usual cold look, Zero looked at his hand and the body of the dragon on the ground in disbelief.

He only remembered that he suddenly saw the giant lizard when he woke up just now, and his consciousness of self-protection broke the giant lizard's mouth. However, when the blood of the giant lizard's mouth, the fishy and sour blood rolled into his body along Zero's esophagus, Zero's instinct sent out a signal of asking.

He has lost too much blood and needs fresh blood replenishment. So the instinctive reaction immediately overwhelmed his reason, which made Zero suck the blood of the dragon like a blood-sucking bat. After eating a bit of lizard blood, he clearly felt that the vitality in his body was constantly recovering.

There is a slight itching feeling from the wound of the left arm, which is a sign of wound healing. Zero untied the bandage on his arm, and the blood that had been lost had grown back. The newborn muscles and skin still have a faint blush. This color will recede within 24 hours, and the zero arm will look like it has not been injured.

He moved his left hand and transmitted signals from his arm to his brain to tell him that in fact, the function of his arm had not been fully restored. Whether it is muscle strength or nerve response, it is about 10% to 20% lower than usual. Although the lost blood has been supplemented to a certain extent, lizard blood is an alien after all. After zero body absorption and decomposition, less than 30% of the amount can be used.

This is not enough to restore Zero's full vitality. Now he just seems to have roughly recovered, but when he wants to fight, he doesn't even have half of his usual combat power.

Zero looks at the tactical watch, which shows 423 words. Looking out of the window, the eastern sky is brighter than other directions, and dawn is coming. But before dawn, the world fell into the deepest darkness. During this period, it is also the most dangerous time in the wilderness. Zero can feel the clear acupuncture from the skin. These dangerous signals come from the almost ubiquitous unknown creatures in the ruins.

Now is the time when these creatures are most hungry. Zero picks up Lala and is ready to leave. He is not going to be the food of mutable beasts, even if he is still weak.
