Apocalypse: I became rich by selling zombie live broadcasts

Chapter 37 Saving Me Is Saving Yourself
The red and black mist rolled up a packet of hot pot base and threw it directly into the black dragon's mouth.

The black dragon chewed and chewed, then swallowed.

“…” Shi Nianzhen frowned slightly.

He is really strong-willed despite his physical disability. Oh no, I have a really good appetite.

"Okay, then let me cook you a hot pot today."

Shi Nianzhen didn't know whether the beef and mutton she cooked would be enough to fill the dragon's mouth like a cave, but she still tried her best to cook pot after pot.

Almost a whole container of food went into the black dragon's stomach.

Black Dragon chewed and chewed: "Tell me, what does this hot pot taste like?"

"...Ah?" Shi Nianzhen stopped eating with his chopsticks and looked at Hei Long in shock. "You can't taste it?"

"A dragon's sense of taste is different from a human's," the Lord of the Abyss explained. "When I use my dragon body, I can't really taste anything."

"..." Shi Nianzhen threw his chopsticks in anger.

So what's the difference between her three hours of hard cooking and talking to a cow about music?
Isn’t a dragon eating hot pot like a cow chewing a peony?

"Didn't you say the sweetness of the wheel cake was just right when you ate it last time?" Shi Nianzhen looked at him in confusion.

"You can taste the sweetness, the saltiness as well, but not the spices or anything like that."

"Dragons are carnivorous, after all."

Shi Nianzhen frowned slightly, "Then you exchanged Star Lantern Fruit with me last time, wasn't that also vegetarian?"

"That was your initiative," said the Lord of the Abyss, "and the fruit does taste good."

The Lord of the Abyss looked at her with amusement as she quickly put the hot pot back into the warehouse, as if it would be a waste to give it to him.

"So what do you eat when you're sealed here?"

Shi Nianzhen didn't see any animal remains around.

The black dragon looked at her, but didn't answer the question. He changed the subject abruptly: "Well, I'm quite satisfied with today's fun. You can take the blood yourself."

Shi Nianzhen's eyes lit up and he rubbed his hands ready to go.

at last!

"Then I'll come."

Shi Nianzhen took out a needle from the warehouse and gestured to Black Dragon, "Stretch out your hand."

"Don't be afraid, I'll be gentle." Shi Nianzhen approached with a grin.

"You can't get what you want without using force," said the Lord of the Abyss.

She approached, but the black dragon only retracted its jaw slightly.

"Hands~" Shi Nianzhen said.

"Didn't I tell you that I can't move?" The Lord of the Abyss closed his eyes helplessly.

"Okay, I'll go find it then."

Shi Nianzhen walked behind the black dragon with a flashlight in one hand and a needle in the other.

Looking at the claws in front of her that looked like a giant pillar, which were pitch black and covered with scales, and then looking at the embroidery needle in her hand, Shi Nianzhen tried to poke it.

Ding!
The needle hit the scales, making a crisp sound, like a needle hitting an iron railing.

Shi Nianzhen thought about it, changed the syringe, and planned to find a gap in the scales to pierce it and draw some blood.

But the black dragon's scales are very tight, one overlapping another, with no gaps showing the skin at all.

Shi Nianzhen patted the black dragon, trying to get him to loosen his scales, but then he remembered that he had said not to move.

I pried the scales and the needle bent.

She reluctantly took out the dagger, but despite great effort, she was unable to insert the dagger into the gap between the scales.

The dragon is right in front of us, but we can't draw its blood.

Shi Nianzhen slashed the dagger at the dragon scales as if to vent his anger. With a ding, the dagger broke.

The noise was heard by the Lord of the Abyss.

"Heh~ Kitty, are you tickling me? Use a little more force."

"..." Shi Nianzhen pursed her lips and began to look at the entire dragon.

She originally just wanted to take blood in the least harmful way.

Now, we can only find the dragon's weak spot first.

She continued walking towards the dragon's tail.

Go a long way.

It could be tens of minutes or several hours.

In the darkness, I couldn't feel the passage of time, and the time on my phone also stopped.

Anyway, after a long time, she finally reached the dragon's tail. She planned to find something like a fin, perhaps a weak spot that would allow her to draw a drop of blood.

But until the dragon's tail, every inch of its body is covered in scales, even its fins are covered with tiny scales.

No wonder he said guns were useless to him. If guns were useless, then the electric drill in the warehouse might not be.

"..." Shi Nian was really at a loss.

She wasn't sure if the scales, which had holes punched in them with an electric drill, could be repaired.

And if the black dragon becomes violent because of the pain, will she be able to withstand it?
She didn't think that the food and toys she had today could be exchanged for someone else's invulnerable scales.

We can only find another way, at least inform them in advance.

Shi Nianzhen returned to the dragon head.

"What?" asked the Lord of the Abyss.

"...I can't break your defense," Shi Nianzhen looked at him expressionlessly and took out an electric drill. "I'm going to try this."

Shi Nianzhen stared into his eyes.

The huge red eyes showed no emotion and still looked nonchalant, not as excited as when she took out the bubble gun.

"Please," he said.

After getting the consent, Shi Nianzhen took out the battery and connected the electric drill.

Shi Nianzhen didn't walk very far this time. He tried it at a place roughly around the black dragon's neck.

buzzing...

The electric drill slipped on the scales and was useless except for leaving some white marks on the scales.

Shi Nianzhen snapped the electric drill back and angrily walked up to Black Dragon. "Did you anticipate this outcome and therefore agree to this deal?"

The Black Dragon lowered his eyes and looked at her, snorting, "Your uselessness is beyond my expectation."

Shi Nianzhen put her hands on her hips and glared at him, "Okay!"

She turned around, put all the food and toys back into the warehouse, and walked into the darkness in the distance.

"Transaction canceled, goodbye!"

"You're giving up already?" the Abyss Overlord coaxed, "Don't you really want my blood?"

"Humph, what can you do if you can't get me?" Shi Nianzhen turned his head and glared at him.

"What about the hatred and unwillingness you felt for killing your enemy before your death?" asked the Lord of the Abyss.

Shi Nianzhen frowned.

The Lord of the Abyss continued in a cold tone:
"A little bit of hard scales puts you off?"

"It seems I overestimated your will."

"You are so weak and soft-hearted. I'm afraid that even if you die, you won't be able to save me."

"You can go if you want."

"It's just a few more decades anyway. Oh, no, you're in the apocalypse, so maybe it won't take decades. It could be a few years, a few months, a few days, or even a few minutes..."

"Anyway, your soul will be back here with me soon."

"Come with me and sink into the abyss of darkness until you perish."

The words of the Lord of the Abyss are like a demonic curse.

Shi Nianzhen's eyes were as sharp as a knife as he stared at his red eyes that were once again shrouded in darkness.

The red eyes looked straight at her.

"Saving me is saving yourself." The low voice sounded in my ears, but echoed in my heart.

Shi Nianzhen's gaze moved downwards, fixed on the sword stuck between the dragon's jaw and neck.

The sword was wide and long, and Shi Nian really felt that it was longer than himself.

The end of the hilt is carved with an angel with outstretched wings. Gold and white threads spread out from the angel and intertwine on the sword, depicting the most gorgeous texture.

The sword's edge was so sharp that it pierced into the black scales and penetrated very deeply.

Shi Nianzhen had previously thought that the golden color was lines, but now he realized that it was cracks in the scales, revealing the golden flesh underneath.

Shi Nianzhen walked back without saying a word.

If there's any place on a dragon that bleeds, it's here.

She held out her hand.

"Are you determined to try again?" Black Dragon smiled.

Shi Nianzhen grasped the hilt of the sword.
