Chapter 10: Wrestling with Dragons
The universal values of the United States sometimes seem very strange to the Chinese people.
As a country with a federal immigrant population of states, although the universality of the United States has very obvious British characteristics because of the composition of the upper class and the main race, many of them are not possessed by Britain, which has become more and more conservative in modern times.
Take, for example, the perception of SEX.
Chinese people should actually have an experience of this, for example, under the influence of American feminism and S liberationism, after high school, there are no girls for beautiful female students or something...
Think about it, after all, it is like this in the country that is still constrained by classical thought, you can imagine the extent of chaos in the United States, don't talk about it before marriage, even if the ratio of extramarital affairs to one-night stands after marriage is so high that you can't believe it!
However, although the general environment is like this, not everyone will calmly face the green above their heads, such as the strong man in front of him...
Andrew, a former U.S. Marine Corps lieutenant-level officer, retired three months ago.
As a true strong man who is a lieutenant purely by military merit, he has a height of 1.95 meters and extremely developed muscles, and his rapid reflexes and strong fighting ability make him like a killing machine!
It's a pity, but it's not an egg...
It didn't delay his wife at all from adding a little color to his head...
He will never forget that day, he went to the field to go through the procedures for transferring to the local police station and deliberately returned the day before, and he was excited to surprise his beloved wife, although there was a frightening change in the sky halfway, but it still did not delay the good mood of this big-hearted guy.
"Anyway, when the sky falls, those bureaucrats are on top, or my baby is the most important..."
Unfortunately, when he opened the door with flowers in his arms, everything changed...
Looking at the two entangled bodies on the sofa, Andrew couldn't believe his eyes!
"No, it's not true, I don't believe it!"
Roaring loudly, the scattered blood-red petals were like his heart shattered into countless pieces at the moment, looking at the two people who got up in a panic, staring at his wife's incomparably gentle but panicked face in his memory, and the indescribable pain almost tore its soul!
"You, I'll kill you!"
The pain of the most beautiful things in his heart being torn apart, the kind of ending of betrayal that he once swore to be together, how can he accept it! All of this made him lose his mind in an instant, and only a piece of blood red was left in his remaining memory!
Screams, wailing, tears, blood...
The fragments were like a silent movie in his mind, and when he came back to his senses again, the whole house seemed to have been ravaged by a flood of beasts, all the appliances were destroyed, even a few walls were broken, and under his feet, there was a scarlet that was completely indistinguishable...
After that, he fainted.
In a semi-comatose trance, he seemed to hear the screams of his neighbors, the shrill sound of police cars, and the staccato conversations of different characters.
However, one of the frequent words pierced his heart deeply...
The red monster who smashed his wife's body...
"Monsters... Ahaha... Monster! ”
When he gradually woke up from anesthesia due to the violent impact, and recalled the mutilated but still able to distinguish the former appearance of his wife's head in his memory, it was as if a string suddenly broke in his mind, which was an indescribable, almost loveless sadness...
Everything, it doesn't matter to him anymore.
So, when a guy in a white anatomical suit actually took out a tranquilizer gun and aimed it at himself, he directly broke his neck, which was so easy as strangling a chicken.
As for why, there is no reason, because he himself does not know.
Andrew didn't pay attention to his apparently abnormal powers, and his mind was now full of thoughts of death or suicide, but when the sound of intense gunfire and even the roar of sniper rifles came from outside the car, even he could not remain indifferent.
"Outside, what's going on?"
The still-chaotic brain drove him to his feet, and then, almost instinctively, a stream of heat poured out of his body, and then, the lock of the closed car door in front of him was completely ignored in his hand as if it were papier-mâché.
Even, when he walked outside, he didn't realize that he was still holding a corpse of an unlucky guy in his hand, because this burden was really the same as carrying a chicken cub normally...
Although the scene that greeted him after coming outside was really unbelievable, but looking at the terrifying mutated giant beast in front of him, the huge body, sharp claws, and the bulge of muscles and flesh representing the power of madness, an inexplicable battle intent rose in his heart in vain!
"It seems like it's going to be a lot of fun to wrestle with dragons..."
He whispered nervously, and then suddenly grabbed a van next to him and threw it at the special forces who were firing wildly!
"Stop it, it's mine!"
Facing the hostile gaze of the special forces who were frightened by his sudden attack, Andrew did not react at all, but yelled at the special forces with confidence, and then rushed directly at the mutant lizard!
"Oh my God, this madman!"
Faced with this scene, all the SWAT couldn't help but be dumbfounded, although the mutant lizard was not lightly injured by the dense barrage, but the huge size difference between the two made them completely unable to see Andrew, a suspected psychotic guy, have the slightest chance of winning.
And the next scene was not at all what they expected.
In the face of the provocation of the "little bug" who dared to roar and rush towards him, the mutant lizard, who had already planned to turn around and run away because of the injury, suddenly became furious, with a cold glint in his eyes, and his body suddenly picked up his thick tail like a telephone pole and whistled to draw Andrew, who couldn't dodge, like a home run that threw him away!
"Hiss~"
Watching the enemy being knocked down, the mutant lizard suddenly spat out its core, revealing a somewhat anthropomorphic, triumphant expression of joy, and raised its body high as if to show off.
This is not surprising, the inherent enlightenment effect of arcane power has given it the IQ of a child who is now at least seven or eight years old, and behind the increase in intelligence is both emotional reinforcement and a weakening of instinct.
Otherwise, if they are real Komodo dragons, they can hardly detect any mood fluctuations, even if they encounter provocations, they will not hesitate to stay away from danger driven by wild instincts, let alone show such superfluous emotions.
"That madman must be dead, right?"
Looking at the car that Andrew had just crashed through, the SWAT and special forces soldiers looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders and continued to pick up their weapons, but at this moment, a few people who continued to look suddenly found that the police car that had been pierced suddenly began to tremble wildly...
Rumble!
Almost without warning, the police car suddenly burst into flames, and with the crazy spurting flames, a crimson figure suddenly walked out of the flames step by step...
"My God..."
Dumbfounded and shocked, many people didn't notice that the gun in their hands had dropped, because Andrew's appearance at this moment was too impactful for this guy with Christianity and Catholicism as his main faith.
The wanton flames surrounded his body, but it was extremely tame, as if it was a part of his body, and with his steps, the flames burned on the melted asphalt, as if hell was coming.
Beyond the interference of the flames, you can see that his completely crimson skin spreads sharp spikes at the joints, the dark and swollen veins on the muscles that are so violent that they almost tear the skin are jumping wildly, and under a pair of huge goat horns above his head, a pair of angry eyes glowing with blood-red light are presented, with an almost substantial anger that completely exceeds the limits of human emotions!
"Whew~!"
With a deafening roar, Andrew, who seemed to have completely transformed into another mythical race, once again rushed towards the mutant lizard, and this time, the balance of power between the two was completely reversed!
"Ahhh
Andrew, the "demon" who had obviously completely lost his mind, roared, frantically attacking the mutant lizard with claws, flames and even teeth, and showed an overwhelming advantage!
In just a few seconds, the mutant lizard's huge and hard body was pulled out of a huge gap by him, and then his claws pierced directly into the mutant lizard's chest, pulling out a huge heart that was still beating in the huge scream it had never had before!
And all of this is reflected in the sparse woods in the distance, in the eyes of an observer who completely melts into the shadows.
"What a terrible power..."
As the black hand that led to this scene, Dong Xuan, who made the goshawk activate a special impact foot ring from a high altitude to attack the police car at the front, did not expect that he would catch such a big fish.
"Level 3 Strength Enhancement, Level 3 Alienated Skin, Level 5 Flame Skin, Level 7 Bloodthirsty Mania..."
Count carefully, no matter how you look at it, Dong Xuan feels that this guy definitely belongs to the kind of protagonist life, and his luck is so good!
If the guy with the whole body life-saving skill at the beginning belongs to the Postman, and has no advantage except speed, then this guy with at least four arcane powers and all of them are extremely practical definitely belongs to the main battle tank level, a real humanoid tyrannosaurus.
In this acre of land on the earth, the only drawback of this guy is probably the violent consumption of life force.
However, this is nothing to Dong Xuan, who will inevitably conduct corresponding research in the future when he establishes forces, and even the other arcane personnel who have been retracted or not retracted.
As for not being able to make a breakthrough on this issue in time?
At that time, Dong Xuan's own vitality will be consumed too much, and it will be difficult to protect himself, will he care if others die or not? No kidding...
