Chapter 7: Lizardmen
"Al, grab the point, open a gap in it but don't break it." Wu Fei and Al wore old insulating gloves and worked together to grasp the edge of the iron plate that sealed the drain, where Wu Fei had passed by and found that the steel plate that sealed the entrance could hold up a small gap, enough for a person to pass sideways.
"Brother Fei, I'll go first." Under the full force of Wu Fei and Al, the two quasi-aliens, the steel plate that sealed the drainage outlet was stretched open a gap, and Al immediately volunteered to be the first to squeeze in.
"Al, hold the steel plate from the inside, I'll go over." Wu Fei said that in the drain, Al squeezed in after holding the steel plate so that the gap would not close.
'Bang! ’
As Al let go of his hands, the steel plate rejoined the wall with a sudden thud.
Standing behind the steel plate, Wu Fei took one last look at the DQ-3 shelter where he had lived for five years, and then turned around and walked into the endless dark drainage passage with Al......
In the dark drainage channel, the sound of ticking water was one of the sounds in the drainage channel, and at the same time, there was also the sound of Wu Fei and the others smashing the bones on the ground.
At this time, Wu Fei and Al were holding assault rifles, and each was responsible for guarding half of the drainage pipes through the night vision scope.
"Brother Fei, do you know that before this place was converted into a shelter, it was an emergency backup reservoir for the city, a treatment plant for the secondary use of wastewater, and ah......" Before Al could finish speaking, Wu Fei raised his hand to stop him.
Through the night vision scope, Wu Fei had already discovered the deep drainage pipes, and the two 'red dots' lit up.
"Al, get ready for battle." Wu Fei whispered.
Hearing this, Al tightened his grip on the handle of the gun a little nervously, nodded, and also stared through the night vision scope at the red dot in the depths of the drain pipe that was getting closer and closer.
"Hungry—"
A low roar gradually sounded, accompanied by the clatter of shattering bones.
"Steady, wait until they're close before shooting, put on the silencer." Wu Fei said that he had loaded his assault rifle with the silencer that Old Carl had given him when he was leaving, and so did Al.
"Hungry !!"
With a sudden roar, in the dark depths of the drainage pipe, more than a dozen humanoid creatures suddenly rushed up on all fours, aiming directly at Wu Fei and the others.
"Fire." With a whisper from Wu Fei, Wu Fei pulled the trigger first, and in an instant, every humanoid creature included in the scope splashed a large amount of blood on its head and then fell to the ground with the habit of rushing forward, although a few shots missed during the period, but it also ensured that the hit rate reached 80%.
Al also pulled the trigger of the assault rifle, and although the hit rate was not as high as Wu Fei's, Al occasionally aimed the muzzle of the gun at the lower limbs of these humanoid creatures.
When everything returned to calm, the humanoid creatures that only rushed three meters in front of Wu Fei and the others also revealed their hideous appearances.
"Living corpses."
Wu Fei looked at the corpses of the humanoid creatures on the ground, looked at the shabby clothes on their bodies, as well as the black skin and mutilated bodies, and the pair of pitch-black claws that no longer resembled human shapes, and easily determined the identity of these creatures, which were the culprits of the second end times, living corpses, also known as zombies.
"It's good that there are no high-level living corpses." Al wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, after all, he had never come into contact with these terrifying nightmarish creatures again in five years, and the fear when the second end came was correspondingly diluted, and now that he encountered it again, it was inevitable that he would be a little afraid.
But Wu Fei was obviously a little disappointed, after all, the souls of these low-level living corpses were all inferior mutilated souls compared to ordinary souls, and it took 2 mutilated souls to be counted as an ordinary soul.
But with Ning Rotten in his heart, Wu Fei still carved a simple magic circle and absorbed the mutilated souls of these living corpses, and Wu Fei didn't seem to care that Al would see it, because in addition to using the magic book hidden in his body to hide the light of the silver mouth, he had already made a statement.
"Brother Fei, the way you absorb residual energy is so special." Al asked.
"Everybody's doing it differently." Wu Fei said, it is true, after the second apocalypse, the Inhumans absorb the residual energy of the radiation beast and the living corpse, and the methods are indeed different, and even some extreme ones will directly swallow the flesh and blood of the radiation beast.
Therefore, in the five years after the second apocalypse, no one has been able to study a unified method for the most efficient use of the residual energy in the radiant beast and the living corpse, and the energy in the radiant beast and the living corpse, as well as the mystery of its own evolution, are still in the stage of exploration, so it is not uncommon for any novel ways to appear.
Al nodded and didn't say anything, in fact, the reason why Old Carl let Al follow this time is nothing more than to think about whether Al can be stimulated through the battle and let Al evolve into a real Inhuman, instead of being as empty and brute as now, after all, it is impossible for Old Carl to protect Al for the rest of his life, and El will have to survive alone sooner or later.
Continuing on the road, along the way, Wu Fei and Al also encountered several waves of living corpses, large and small, which were also mixed with low-level radiation beasts such as radiation rats, but they were also thrilling.
But because of this, Wu Fei had some bad premonitions.
"This is called the Death Passage and it is definitely not untargeted, and the bones at the entrance also show that there was once a powerful radiation beast here, a larger number of living corpses, but now there are only two or three big cats and small cats left, which is very abnormal......" In a place where the light was faintly cast, Wu Fei looked at the living corpse on the ground that had just died from the muzzle of his own gun, and muttered to himself.
"Could it be that they knew they couldn't break through the steel plate at the drainage inlet, so they crawled back to the ground?" Al scratched his head and said with some uncertainty.
"No, they shouldn't be flexible to that extent, and even if they were, they wouldn't be that large, after all, according to the rumors here, the number of living corpses is to fill the entire passage, forget it, regardless of him, anyway, we're close to the exit to the surface sewage factory." Wu Fei said, picking up his assault rifle and moving forward, while Al scratched his head and looked at the dead living corpses, then followed closely with his gun in hand.
The sudden sense of crisis made Wu Fei, who had just taken a few steps forward, only have time to force back backwards, and at the same time pushed away Al, who was still in a blank brain, and a pitch-black sharp bone spur was close to Wu Fei's face, and after cutting a wound, it shot like a bullet into the wall behind the two of them, and they all went in.
"Take it." Wu Fei threw his assault rifle at Al, and he instantly activated the blue-purple sorcery hidden in the muscle tissue, and rushed forward on all fours in the direction of the bone spur.
"Squeak――――――
With a high-pitched, piercing howl, the creature that shot out the bone spurs seemed to feel challenged and immediately burst out of the dark corner.
As soon as he got closer, Wu Fei spotted the creature that had attacked him, the lizardman who had been rumored to have disappeared from the ruins on the surface for a long time.
This mutated creature of living corpses and reptiles, with a humanoid body, but with hard scales, a tail worthy of a whip, and sharp claws on its limbs, almost all hunters have been spared after encountering this creature born to kill, and even if some people escaped, they were mentally broken by the horrific slaughter of the lizardmen, but these creatures mysteriously disappeared into the ruins of the surface a year ago.
However, Wu Fei didn't care about the mystery of the disappearance of this creature, and rushed to Wu Fei in front of him like lightning, and his right hand became a claw and went straight to the throat of the lizard man.
But what surprised Wu Fei even more was that he was empty.
There was a sudden extreme sense of crisis behind him.
Before he had time to think about it, Wu Fei rolled on the spot with a lazy donkey, barely dodging the deadly claws that attacked from behind, but he was still left with a few scratches on the back by the lizardman.
"Squeak--"
The lizardman raised his head and howled, and his body kept attacking Wu Fei, who had not yet stood firm, and in the darkness, the lizardman's claws were like the scythe of death, grabbing straight at Wu Fei's throat.
"Roll !!"
At this moment, Al on the side suddenly roared, and hit the lizardman from the side like a humanoid tank, and the lizardman was attacked from the side unexpectedly, and his scaly body was uncontrollably knocked out two meters away.
Immediately after, Al roared like a madman, waving his huge fist and rushing straight up, and the lizardman disappeared once again, leaving Al standing in place with a puzzled expression, his huge fist raised in the air.
This time, Wu Fei saw clearly that the lizardman circled behind Al with an almost teleportation instantaneous speed, and his claws fell fatally again.
The witchcraft power in his body instantly rioted, and Wu Fei appeared behind the lizardman like a flash of thunder, and at the same time, his left arm strangled the lizardman's neck, and his whole body instantly fell backwards, and even the lizardman fell into the bone pile on the ground due to the sudden huge force.
"Shoot !!" Wu Fei suppressed the lizard's body, and his arms locked the lizardman's struggling arms.
Wu Fei's shouts exploded in Al's mind like thunder, and Al immediately ran to the side, raising his and Wu Fei's assault rifles at the same time, aiming the muzzle at the lizardman's chest and shouting and pulling the trigger.
The crude bullets instantly covered the scales of the lizardman's chest, but I don't know if it was due to the poor craftsmanship of the crude bullets, the bullets splashed sparks on the lizardman's chest, even if occasionally some bullets hit the same position in succession, tearing the scales of the lizardman, but only caused minor skin injuries.
This only angered the lizardman even more, and the lizardman's legs instantly shrunk into a ball strangely, and then instantly popped out, kicking Wu Fei who was suppressed on his body away.
Wu Fei let go of his hands and covered his chest with his hands when the lizardman's legs contracted strangely.
'Bang'
With a muffled thud, Wu Fei fell into a pile of bones not far from the lizardman's side.
"Squeak--"
The lizardman was visibly even angrier at Al as he rained his bullets, only to see the lizardman howl, get up and wave his scythe-like claws, and charge at the empty magazine.
This time, Wu Fei, who had not yet stood up, was unable to rescue Al again.
Watch El get knocked down by the lizardmen.
"Self-comprehension, witchcraft: black chains."
In the pitch-black drainage pipe, the sound of water droplets once again became the main theme, and Al, who thought he was going to die, also widened his eyes, and his pupils that suddenly contracted were full of disbelief.
