CHAPTER 268: CHAPTER 265: DEATH GOD’S SCYTHE, RAISED!_3

The Lizardmen are cold-blooded, ruthless, and extremely powerful in combat, sometimes charging like mad dogs, and they also possess considerable intelligence.

Not to mention, they hold something that humans don’t currently have—gunpowder bombs!

After all, neither sulfur nor saltpeter is easy to come by.

But not only do the Lizardmen have them, they also know how to use them.

Previously, when he was clearing Zone F, he accidentally encountered this, and just now, the extensive burns Little Meng suffered were due to this as well.

Though its power is quite ordinary, in the future, it might be a different story.

If we let the Lizardmen continue developing like this, perhaps it will be them, not humans, holding muskets.

Through the Night Vision Goggles, two more Lizardmen appeared, cautiously moving forward, seemingly delighted by the appearance of the Copper Treasure Chest. The strange, dream-like murmuring began to echo in the long corridor.

Lin Yue breathed gently, and the Little Ice Lizards beside him quietly awaited the right moment.

Rushing things would be futile.

Lin Yue was eager to know how these Lizardmen and humans were actually collaborating.

Is it as he imagined, or as he saw, humans mining for them, providing weapons, usually not appearing, or is it...

He glanced over, where a pile of human corpses lay, glaringly conspicuous.

Might humans be accompanying them, operating in the underground ruins?

At this moment, another shadow emerged.

Seven Lizardmen now.

Sweat gathered in Lin Yue’s palms; what he had to do was not just eliminate the Lizardmen.

If possible, he wanted to annihilate those who submit to slavery and disregard the death of their kin, the Lizardmen’s accomplices too!

His hands were already stained with much human blood, yet none of them were undeserving of death.

Lin Yue didn’t mind getting stained a bit more.

Especially those "Human Traitors" threatening the safety of all humanity, no matter the reason, they should not be allowed to continue existing.

Just then, another shadow appeared... Hmm?

Lin Yue observed; the silhouette lacked a snout and scales, wearing fabric clothes.

Survivor!

No, it should be "beggar" to be precise.

Trash with such low character, begging the Lizardmen for the right to live!

Only one?

Lin Yue remained unmoving; he exposed only his gun barrel and Sighting Scope in the corridor, and in the dim torch-lit junction, his presence was almost undetectable.

Unless he created some commotion, otherwise, those enemies surely couldn’t find him.

Given there’s only one beggar, start with this beggar!

However...

Suddenly a new idea sparked in Lin Yue’s mind.

"Little Ice Lizards, you all later..." He immediately issued new commands, simultaneously aiming the Sighting Scope at the beggar.

At this moment, the beggar was being pushed forward by several Lizardmen, with a long spear pointing at his back.

In the Night Vision Goggles, there wasn’t any "being coerced" relationship between the beggar and the Lizardmen; instead, they had conferred, and finally, he nodded towards the Lizardmen, grabbed one of their long guns, and gradually approached the Copper Treasure Chest!

And then, he directly took a stride and dashed in front of the chest!

Whoosh!

A bullet is much faster than human movement!

A scream erupted as the beggar’s arm was grazed by the bullet!

Seeing this, the other Lizardmen retreated hastily, but how could they match the speed at which the Little Ice Lizards charged forward?

Cries of agony erupted repeatedly, and the Lizardmen soon fell to the ground one after another, all gasping their last breath.

Lin Yue advanced towards the beggar who was writhing on the ground in pain.

Earlier, he had intended to end this scum’s life directly, but then he had a new idea.

Why not capture one alive and extract some information from them?
