Chapter 195: Rogue Monthly Pass for Manipulating Death)
This wailing sound was so sad that He Ao could not help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart.
He Ao frowned and his eyes disappeared into the dark night.
He still miscalculated a little, and the visibility of the ruins in the dark was lower than he thought.
He looked down from the rooftop and couldn't see the earth at all, only a dark and deep abyss.
And the wailing sound just now came from the depths of this abyss.
Vaguely, He Ao could see a huge, dark, slender creature swimming through the abyss between the buildings under his feet.
At this moment, under the tall buildings, in the night, the darkness that cannot be seen to the bottom is like the deep sea that cannot be seen to the bottom, and that huge creature is wandering in this "deep sea".
And night is the ‘sea water’ it lives on.
This is a scene that has never been mentioned in the institute's information. The institute's information only says that night may be more dangerous than daytime, and you may encounter some stronger monsters. It is recommended to find a building to rest in the dark.
There is no saying that such life still lives in the dark night of the ruins.
Have the researchers at the institute never encountered such a creature?
No, maybe someone has encountered it.
It's just that they...are all dead.
When He Ao realized this problem, a huge trembling feeling emerged from his back.
This was not the fear of him realizing the truth, but the trembling of being watched by some powerful spirit.
When He Ao looked at the dark shadow, the dark shadow also looked at him.
This monster is very strong, far more than D level.
Even Pena has never given He Ao such a strong sense of oppression. The opponent is most likely a C-level or even B-level extraordinary life that far surpasses Pena.
He Ao withdrew his gaze, rolled violently, and returned to the stairwell on the rooftop.
There is a strong survivor bias in the institute's data. After all, only the living can bring the information back.
Those living people have basically never encountered any powerful extraordinary beings, so they naturally feel that the night is not that dangerous.
But perhaps this cannot be blamed on the institute. After all, when we first entered the ruins, there were indeed no powerful extraordinary creatures around.
After all, there are only a few explorers like He Ao who walk for ten hours at a stretch to penetrate deep into the ruins. The vast majority of explorers only dare to hang around the 'novice area'.
He Ao reached out and picked up the rocket launcher on the side, opened the ammunition box of the armor-piercing projectile, loaded an armor-piercing projectile into the rocket launcher, and stared coldly around the rooftop.
The huge wailing sound gradually went away, and the terrifying extraordinary life seemed to have gone away.
But He Ao didn't dare to slack off even a little bit.
You cannot place your life on the kindness of others.
When the sound completely disappeared, He Ao picked up the ammunition box and walked out of the stairwell, preparing to leave this place.
And just when he walked out of the stairwell door, his steps suddenly paused.
Then he turned around sharply and looked at the top of the stairwell behind him.
Under the dim moon, a somewhat rotten mouth with bones exposed covered half of He Ao's vision.
The fishy smell poured into He Ao's entire nasal cavity.
He Ao was not affected by the huge stench. He instantly pulled the trigger, and huge flames spurted out from the muzzle and rushed into the throat of the huge mouth.
And almost at the moment when the armor-piercing bullet was fired, He Ao suddenly turned around and jumped forward with the ammunition box in hand.
A huge explosion exploded behind him, and the gushing flames illuminated half of the sky.
The heat wave pushed He Ao forward for a certain distance, but did not fly out of the rooftop at all.
The moment He Ao landed, he squatted down and let his body hit the wall at the edge of the rooftop, creating a hole in the thick wall. Broken bricks flew down, while He Ao stopped completely.
On the edge of the rooftop, it was only one step away from falling.
Below, there is a bottomless night.
This is the first time that he has used his own body to fight to this extent.
He Ao turned his head and looked behind him. Countless pieces of rancid meat were scattered on the ground. At the top of the stairwell, there was still a huge monitor lizard tail.
It seemed to be a monitor lizard, but a living monitor lizard would not have such a strong rancid smell.
At this moment, a slight vibration suddenly came from the wall next to it.
Something is climbing up the wall.
He Ao immediately opened the ammunition box, loaded a rocket, and looked at the wall to the side.
A huge monitor lizard, covered in pitch black with half of its bones exposed, was quickly crawling toward the rooftop along the exposed edge of the wall. It was very fast, climbing more than ten meters in almost the blink of an eye.
He Ao watched in silence as it quickly crawled over and aimed rockets at the 'monitor lizard'.
When it rose to a certain distance, surging tongues of fire spurted out, and slender cannonballs penetrated its body in the blink of an eye.
glutinous rice
A violent explosion exploded again, and the dark giant lizard broke into several pieces and fell from the sky.
This monitor lizard is not a living monitor lizard, but the corpses that He Ao saw on the roadside before.
What is this ability? Drive the dead corpse to fight for yourself?
He Ao had a new understanding of this weird world, but he didn't have any time to think or hesitate. He immediately put on a new armor-piercing bullet and looked at the other wall.
He had seen more than one monitor lizard carcass on the roadside before.
Ouch——
But it was already too late now. With a roar, a giant lizard with half its throat missing poked its head out from behind the wall, and its body quickly climbed up.
He Ao immediately aimed the cannonball at its body and pulled the trigger.
The flaming armor-piercing bullet quickly penetrated its body, flying backwards with its huge body and breaking away from the wall.
The explosion sounded again, and the giant lizard corpse exploded into two pieces in mid-air.
However, He Ao had no time to observe the situation of the giant lizard at this moment. He took out the last armor-piercing bullet from the ammunition box, took two steps back, and then jumped out of the gap he had just smashed with a running start.
Shortly after he jumped out, a dark, not-so-big monitor lizard rushed out of the stairwell, stamped out the incomplete fire, and rushed towards He Ao.
It was very fast, but He Ao had already jumped out from the roof of the building. He landed on the rooftop of the building next to him, rolled to relieve his force, and then immediately loaded the last armor-piercing bomb on the rocket launcher.
At this moment, the giant lizard behind him also opened the gap and jumped out, rushing towards He Ao, its huge mouth opened, and its tongue shot out like a sharp sword.
A flaming metal bullet shot into its throat and entered its body at this moment.
Brilliant fireworks exploded in the void.
He Ao glanced at the hot barrel and threw the rocket launcher aside.
He brought a total of six armor-piercing bombs in. He used two to blow up the living monitor lizard during the day, and four more to blow up the dead lizard just now. They were all used up.
The rocket launchers are also useless.
In fact, at first he was planning to get an extra box of cannonballs, but Yang De said that the relics had a weight limit and he wouldn't be able to carry more, so he gave up.
He Ao glanced at the building he was standing on just now. A black giant lizard was quickly climbing up the wall.
Some monitor lizards seemed to have noticed that He Ao had left and were jumping towards the building where He Ao was now standing.
Judging from the degree of damage to the bodies of these 'monitor lizard corpses', ordinary firearms and bullets should not be able to cause much harm to them. We can only fight with swords to see if they can kill them.
He Ao didn't want to fight hand-to-hand with these rancid 'undead creatures', and there were too many of them.
He quickly went downstairs from the rooftop. After descending several floors, he jumped from the broken window sill of a house to another building nearby.
These giant lizard corpses suddenly came to life, most likely related to the giant moaning creature he just met.
The other party's ability is most likely to control the deceased.
He Ao had only seen this kind of thing similar to 'necromancy' in novels and TV before. This was the first time he encountered it in reality.
When facing something unknown, you must first avoid its sharp edges, observe it, and collect enough intelligence.
He Ao roughly estimated the direction in which the whining monster was leaving, and then quickly moved forward with his back to that direction.
Without rocket launchers and ammunition boxes, his body was much lighter. After dodging several times and jumping across buildings, he finally landed on the ground.
Those pitch-black monitor lizards did not come after me.
He Ao breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked around and saw that most of the streets in the ruins were similar. Under the pitch-black night with extremely low visibility, he couldn't tell whether he had been to this street before.
After walking a few steps, he found some damaged buildings around him, and the bodies of mutilated monitor lizards were lying at the bottom of these buildings.
Different from the monitor lizards that had just chased Ho Ao, these monitor lizards were lying under the building, motionless, as if they were really 'dead'.
The scene in front of him seemed a bit familiar, and He Ao frowned.
He stopped moving forward, but compared it with his vague memory and turned to the left.
But after taking only a few steps, he stopped.
In the dark night, a huge "black plain" with no end in sight appeared in front of him.
He Ao knelt down and grabbed a handful of humus soil from under his feet.
A brief silence followed.
He seemed to be back in that huge black earth square again.
And just when he lowered his head to inspect the soil.
A huge, floating behemoth floated in the air, slowly hovering above his head.
Countless scarlet 'flames' stared at the young man below, flickering in the dark night.
