Chapter 234 Pale Reptile
Just when everyone was on high alert, an accident happened again.
This time, it was no longer the wrath of the earth, but countless unknown creatures that appeared before mankind for the first time.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
Bo Yu City.
In this only city adjacent to the southern continent, people followed instructions and nervously hid in underground projects.
The disheartened people huddled together for warmth, waiting for the disaster to pass.
Unexpectedly, in the quiet underground city, there was a huge collision sound, which seemed to come from deeper underground. Then, there were several fierce screams from the crowd in the left area.
The screams traveled through the thin air, waking up many sleeping people.
The next moment, a guard was heard shouting, "Report!"
At the entrance to the underground project, the captain of the guard team in charge of guarding this area saw his men running over anxiously.
Feeling the gazes of countless eyes behind him, he waved his hand, and the other party stepped forward and whispered in his ear: "Captain, just now in the left area, several people seemed to have been bitten by poisonous insects. They have turned blue all over and died of respiratory failure."
Captain Zhou Houcheng didn't expect an accident to happen at this time. He frowned and asked, "Have you found what the poison is?"
The subordinate shook his head violently as if he recalled some horrible situation.
He anxiously grabbed the captain's sleeve and urged: "Captain, you should go and take a look first, and you will know when you go."
The captain realized the seriousness of the situation, stood up and said to the team members behind him: "Guard your own personnel and ensure everyone's safety."
The subordinates said in unison: "Yes, we will complete the task!" x100+
The captain and his men hurried to the left area.
The people in the left area have been arranged by other guards to be taken to other areas. Many people did not see what happened just now. They only heard a few screams of pain and some people's painful gasps.
As soon as the incident occurred, guards surrounded the victim, and they had no idea what happened at the scene.
But when I saw the serious expressions of the guards, I knew it was no small matter.
At this time, seeing the person who brought the news leading a man wearing captain's epaulettes, people huddled together next door, peeking at the area.
Unexpectedly, the captain's face changed drastically when he saw the scene inside. He immediately ordered his team members to retreat and asked someone to bring a tall truck of building assembly materials.
As the high wall was quickly erected, the left area was completely blocked.
"No one is allowed to approach this place."
Captain Zhou Houcheng, with his almost broken courage, led his men into the wall through a small entrance.
Seven people did die here, and what my men said was true.
Their bodies were now in the middle of the clearing, deformed and curled up, with exposed skin that was all blue and their faces pitch black.
Anyone who saw it could tell that he had been poisoned.
What is such a powerful toxin?
Zhou Houcheng shifted his gaze towards the monster in the center of the venue, which was still shaking its long and thin lower limbs and gradually running towards his side.
The monsters have the same heads and faces as humans, but "their" skulls are spindle-shaped with small ends and a large middle.
The skin on his head was pale, no, the whole body was pale, and his body was smooth without a single hair.
The monsters have long and narrow eyes, and their heads are spindle-shaped. Their noses have only a small bump, and their nostrils are as thin as capillaries and are almost invisible.
But their most prominent feature is their mouth. If they were human, it could be called a mouth. Zhou Houcheng subconsciously associated them with the snouts of birds and snakes.
Because the first thing you see is that exaggerated mouth, with two thin lips that protrude and point like a bird's beak. At this time, there is some bright red on the mouth, which is the mark left by their attack on humans.
These monsters' bodies cannot stand completely, and their upper bodies form a curved arc like kangaroos. However, on their narrow upper bodies, there are a pair of thin and long arms, which are extremely weird and uncoordinated.
The lower limbs are shaped like wild beasts, especially the hind hips. When they stand on their more slender lower limbs, the hip muscles tremble, just like leopards running on the grassland.
Zhou Houcheng was surrounded by his teammates, watching the four pale monsters attacking them.
Perhaps due to their length advantage, the monsters ran and turned very quickly. Although the distance was hundreds of meters, they reached everyone in just five or six seconds.
When rushing over, the monsters would make strange "quack quack quack quack" noises in their throats, making the listeners feel extremely uncomfortable and making them want to vomit.
This kind of confusion is likely to make people miss the time to prepare.
When the monsters approached, they did not bite directly. They seemed to understand tactics. Four of them lined up in a 211 position, staring at Captain Zhou and the others with numb eyes.
Humans can easily smell a fishy odor, not like the scent of marine life or wild animals, they have an earthy smell.
Without having time to think too much, Zhou Houcheng ordered before the other side launched an attack: "Shoot!"
The team members who had pulled the safety pin early raised their weapons and shot at the four monsters the next moment.
"Da da da da da da!"
No less than a hundred bullets were fired, and the four monsters had already fallen to the ground and lost their lives.
Captain Zhou then led his men forward carefully, took out the isolation bags with the highest protection level, and transported away the bodies of the monsters and the bodies of the murdered humans.
After arranging the team members and people here, Captain Zhou left in a hurry.
This sudden situation makes the current situation complicated and unclear, and it must be reported immediately.
"Pale reptiles found in Boyu City!"
When Zhou Houcheng brought the spoils and victims to the Boyu City Security Center, where there was an Unnatural Creature Identification Institute, Zhou Houcheng immediately suspected that those monsters were non-human.
When the people at the center heard what Captain Zhou had described, their faces immediately changed. An old man with a white beard stepped forward and opened the isolation bag.
He took a deep breath when he saw the pale reptile inside. After he carefully examined the victim's face, he was more certain of what he thought.
"Captain Zhou, this matter is of great importance. Please keep it confidential with your team members."
Captain Zhou nodded in agreement, but he was also curious.
"Excuse me, what exactly are these monsters?"
The old man and the people from the appraisal institute looked at each other and sighed helplessly.
"Captain Zhou, for the hard work of you and your teammates, I can tell you."
Zhou Houcheng and his group listened attentively.
"Our laboratory records call them pale reptiles."
"Pale reptile? Is that really what it's called?" Captain Zhou was very surprised. He just said it casually.
In accordance with my reporting habits over the years, I casually mentioned a name.
I didn’t expect it to be a familiar item in the appraisal institute.
"The origin of this thing is very mysterious. We have never figured it out. The existing records can already be called legends. We are the first people to see its physical form since the establishment of the appraisal institute."
Hearing the director's words, Captain Zhou looked at the monster corpses that looked like dead sheep in surprise, and countless dark lights flashed in his eyes.
