Chapter 7: Despicable Survival

After observing for a while longer and confirming the other party was indeed dead, 006 opened its mouth and swallowed it.

However, as it digested, 006's brain crashed again.

What was inside this thing's belly?

It looked like a small beast. Did this thing eat a child?

006 considered this possibility, then stopped thinking about it and continued along the Giant Lizard's path to devour other corpses.

Gunshots, shouts, and tearing sounds gradually grew louder.

006 walked out of a corridor and saw a group of humans battling Giant Lizards in a huge hall.

But it looked more like a one-sided slaughter by the Giant Lizards.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Da da da da da!!!

Various firearms discharged bullets, which landed on the Giant Lizard's broken body.

The Giant Lizard was completely unaffected, angrily unleashing its monstrous rage on the humans around it.

Due to its fear of being attacked by the Giant Lizard, 006 did not go out but hid at the corridor entrance, silently observing everything.

Its thick tail swung like a scythe, striking one person's legs and sending him flying.

The man clutched his mangled legs, screaming in agony.

"Ah—! My legs! It hurts so much..."

He was covered in cold sweat, his face contorted, as if he would pass out from the intense pain at any second.

006 watched silently, then noticed someone rushing towards the man with the broken leg.

Is he going to eat him?

As it thought this, the person frantically pulled out a morphine tablet and handed it to the man with the broken leg.

"Calm down, calm down! We'll stop the bleeding in a bit, hold on!"

Seeing that the other party not only didn't eat the man but even gave him something to calm him down, 006 felt it was unbelievable.

Because they are the same kind, do they help each other?

006 was pensive.

Another human on the battlefield caught its attention.

Just as the Giant Lizard's putrid mouth was about to crush the human in front of it, a man with stubble and a face full of scars suddenly darted out from several meters away, knocking the person who was about to die in the huge maw, along with himself, flying.

"Vice Captain...!"

The rescued man looked at the stubbled man with a mix of shock and surprise.

The Vice Captain did not speak, he merely let out a slight breath as he stared at the Giant Lizard, which was charging forward in a rage after biting empty air.

"All personnel cease fire! Get away from it!"

As he gave the order, the sporadic gunshots around them instantly stopped.

Then the man, without dodging, charged directly at the Giant Lizard.

"Foolish...!"

The Giant Lizard roared, just as it was about to bite down, the other party performed a slide tackle.

The Vice Captain narrowly dodged the huge maw, slid under the Giant Lizard's crotch, and then, without stopping, rolled to the side.

The moment he rolled out from under the Giant Lizard, its massive body suddenly slammed down.

The entire process took less than half a second; if his reaction speed had been even a moment slower, he would have been crushed into a pulp.

A strange glint flashed in the Giant Lizard's urine-yellow eyes, as if it hadn't expected the other party's reaction speed to be so fast.

"Genetic lock first-order? A slightly stronger maggot..."

The Giant Lizard slowly turned around and looked at the man who was kneeling on the ground, panting heavily.

It let out a disdainful snort, just about to continue its slaughter, when the Vice Captain directly pulled out a small dagger.

Without even the slightest hesitation, the cold dagger was plunged into the Vice Captain's left eye.

Crimson blood immediately stained the dagger and the Vice Captain's scarred hand.

Seeing this, the Giant Lizard's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Please wait a moment, let me beg for a few words..."

The blood-stained dagger clattered to the ground, and the Vice Captain, panting heavily, spoke with a very pleading attitude.

His hand instinctively wanted to cover his blood-soaked eye socket, yet it seemed as if he wanted to deliberately show it to the Giant Lizard, forcing himself to leave it exposed.

The Giant Lizard became somewhat interested and stopped, continuing to watch the other party.

The Vice Captain quickly pulled out a yellowed document and threw it in front of the Giant Lizard.

"This person... this is the person who used his ability to seal you away... We were only guarding you, and have nothing to do with the operation to capture you!"

The Vice Captain said, trembling. The Giant Lizard looked down and indeed saw a familiar pair of men and women in the document's photo.

A layer of anger appeared in its eyes, but at a glance, there was no specific location information.

Just then, the Vice Captain took out another document, but his other hand raised a lighter, as if he intended to destroy it.

"This document details the organization that person belongs to... and the location of the organization..."

"Hmm... as long as you stop fighting and leave here now, I will give you this document..."

Blood gushing from his eye socket stained half of the Vice Captain's face. He panted heavily, clutched the document in his mouth, and roughly pulled over a trembling woman beside him.

"She is an ability user, her ability is called 'Diary Record'... Her ability is to automatically update her situation in a notebook at the end of each month... She can also actively write down future events that might happen to her on any piece of paper using a pen.

If she dies directly, she will write down the cause, location, and time of her death at the moment of death.

And the notebook that records her status is in the organization of your enemy... Once you kill us, they will know that you have escaped..."

Upon hearing this, the Giant Lizard's hoarse, deep voice showed anger.

"Disgusting creatures... still daring to threaten me?"

"This is not a threat!" the Vice Captain immediately said.

"This is just a despicable means used by lowly, disgusting creatures like us for self-preservation..."

After speaking, he took a notebook from the woman's arms beside him and threw it in front of the Giant Lizard.

It read: "June 1st, the organization took advantage of the nearby hostile organization's troop shortage to launch a surprise attack, seizing a large amount of supplies."

Judging by the age of the handwriting, the text was written at least a month ago.

"You believe she really has this ability now, don't you...? And the automatic update only triggers at the end of the month, so that organization will only know what happened here in at least half a month..."

"Please... spare our humble lives..."

The Vice Captain knelt on the ground, abandoning all pride and shame as he pleaded.

The Giant Lizard looked at the Vice Captain, who was kneeling with the woman beside him, then turned to look at the humans around them.

Seeing this, everyone dropped their weapons and fell to their knees with a thud.

Just as a look of hesitation appeared in those urine-yellow eyes.

The Giant Lizard suddenly noticed a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl with dark purple hair and no expression on her face, staring fixedly at it from an inconspicuous corner of the crowd.

The Giant Lizard instantly understood something, and the conflict in its eyes turned to mockery.

"Alright, I'll let you go..."

The Vice Captain's face lit up with joy upon hearing this. He handed the geological document to the woman beside him, ordering her to pass it to the other party.

The woman, trembling, held the document and approached the Giant Lizard, placing the document on the ground.

The Giant Lizard didn't even glance at the woman, picked up the document from the ground, and turned to leave.

After the foul-smelling Giant Lizard smashed through the door and left, everyone, unable to support their fear-stricken bodies, collapsed to the ground with a thud.
