However, he is only at the stage of refining essence into qi, so it's not time for him to consider this yet.

He quickly finished the rest of the roasted meat, cultivated for a while, and then opened his personal attribute panel.

At this moment, his physical fitness had increased to 201. In just over half a day, less than ten hours, his physical fitness had increased by 18, and he had gained a wisp of innate Qi in his body.

The ruins are really a great place.

However, since his physical fitness level broke through 200, the growth has slowed down, and there probably won't be such rapid growth again. I don't know where the upper limit of D-level physical fitness is.

As the flames gradually died down, He Ao took out a red fruit from his backpack, took a bite, and the sweet juice burst in his mouth.

These are the fruits from the tree attacked by the monitor lizard that was killed during the day. When Heo left, he picked up all the whole fruits he could find and put them in his backpack.

This isn't the first time he's eaten this fruit.

While traveling in the afternoon, he carefully tasted one.

This fruit has a very slight contamination, but it's not a big deal; the contamination is less than that of lizard meat.

Ignoring these pollutants, one discovers that the fruit's flesh is exceptionally sweet and delicious, and it can also refresh and restore energy to some extent.

Unfortunately, He Ao never encountered this kind of fruit tree again.

He Ao ate some fruit and walked out of the rooftop stairwell. The sky was gradually darkening, and the pitch-black night enveloped the entire earth.

There were some bright, star-like things in the sky, but these 'stars' were not distributed neatly, with large clusters and large gaps, like partially broken LED light strips, some parts lit and some parts not.

Among these stars, a not-so-bright 'moon' hangs high in the sky.

He Ao walked to the edge of the rooftop, eating fruit as he pondered whether to continue his journey that night. If he traveled through the night, he should be able to reach the tower before noon the next day.

However, traveling at night is riskier than during the day.

woo-

Just as He Ao was eating fruit and thinking, a mournful cry came from beneath his feet.

He lowered his head.

The mournful cry was so poignant that it inevitably stirred a sense of sorrow within He Ao.

He Ao frowned, his gaze disappearing into the pitch-black night.

He had miscalculated slightly; the visibility at night in the ruins was actually lower than he had imagined.

Looking down from the rooftop, he couldn't see the earth at all, only a dark and deep abyss.

The mournful cry just now came from the depths of this abyss.

He could vaguely see a huge, slender, black creature swimming through the abyss between the buildings beneath his feet.

At this moment, beneath the tall buildings, in the darkness of night, the pitch-black darkness was like a bottomless deep sea, and the enormous creature was wandering in this 'deep sea'.

And the night is the 'seawater' it depends on for survival.

This is a scene that the research institute's data has never mentioned. The research institute's data only says that the night may be more dangerous than the day, and that you may encounter some stronger monsters. It is recommended to find a building to rest in at night.

It doesn't say that such life exists in the darkness of the ruins.

Have the researchers at the institute never encountered such a creature before?

No, perhaps someone has encountered it.

But they... are all dead.

When He Ao realized the problem, a huge chill ran down his spine.

This was not the fear of realizing the truth, but the trembling of being watched by some powerful spirit.

As He Ao focused his gaze on the shadowy figure, the shadowy figure also focused its gaze on him.

This monster is very strong, far exceeding D-rank.

Even Pena had never given Heo such a strong sense of pressure. The other party was very likely a C-level or even B-level extraordinary life form far superior to Pena.

He Ao withdrew his gaze, then suddenly rolled back to the stairwell on the rooftop.

The research institute's data suffers from a strong survivor bias, since only the living can bring back information.

Those living people had basically never encountered any powerful supernatural beings, so they naturally felt that the night was not so dangerous.

However, perhaps the research institute cannot be blamed for this, since there were indeed no powerful supernatural creatures around when they first entered the ruins.

Explorers like He Ao, who can walk for ten hours straight and delve deep into the ruins, are ultimately a minority. The vast majority of explorers only dare to linger near the 'beginner zone'.

He Ao reached out and picked up the rocket launcher beside him, opened the ammunition box for armor-piercing rounds, loaded an armor-piercing round into the rocket launcher, and coldly stared at the surroundings of the rooftop.

The enormous wailing gradually faded into the distance, and the terrifying supernatural being seemed to have vanished.

However, He Ao dared not slack off in the slightest.

One should not entrust one's life to the kindness of others.

Once the sound had completely disappeared, He Ao picked up the ammunition box, walked out of the stairwell, and prepared to leave the place.

Just as he stepped out of the stairwell door, he suddenly paused.

Then he turned around abruptly and looked at the top of the stairwell behind him.

Under the dim moonlight, a grotesquely decaying maw, revealing stark white bones, obscured half of He Ao's vision.

A fishy, ​​foul odor wafted in.

He's entire nasal cavity.

He was not affected by the stench. He pulled the trigger instantly, and huge flames shot out from the muzzle and rushed into the throat of the giant mouth.

Almost the instant the armor-piercing round was fired, Heo, carrying the ammunition box, suddenly turned around and leaped forward.

A massive explosion rocked behind him, and the billowing flames illuminated half the sky.

The heatwave propelled He Ao forward a short distance, but thankfully he didn't fly off the rooftop.

The moment He Ao landed, he crouched down, causing his body to slam into the wall at the edge of the rooftop. This created a hole in the thick wall, sending brick fragments flying. He Ao stopped at the edge of the rooftop, just one step away from falling.

Below, there was an unfathomable darkness.

This was the first time he had used his true form to engage in a battle of this magnitude.

He Ao turned his head and looked behind him. Countless rotten pieces of flesh were scattered on the ground, and at the top of the stairwell, there was still a huge giant lizard's tail.

It appeared to be a monitor lizard, but a living monitor lizard wouldn't have such a strong stench of decay.

Just then, a slight tremor suddenly came from the wall next to them.

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 giant monitor lizard, its body entirely black with half of its white bones exposed, was rapidly climbing up the exposed edge of the wall towards the rooftop. It was so fast that it covered more than ten meters in the blink of an eye.

He watched silently as it scrambled towards him, then aimed a rocket at the 'giant lizard'.

Once it rose to a certain distance, surging flames spewed out, and the slender cannonball pierced its body in the blink of an eye.

Another violent explosion rang out, and the jet-black giant lizard shattered into several pieces and fell from the sky.

This monitor lizard wasn't a living one, but rather one of the carcasses that He Ao had seen by the roadside earlier.

What kind of ability is this? To make the corpses of the dead fight for you?

He Ao gained a new understanding of this bizarre world, but he had no time to think or hesitate. He immediately switched to a new armor-piercing round and looked at the other wall.

He had seen more than one monitor lizard carcass by the roadside before.

Ugh—

But it was too late. With a whistling roar, a giant lizard with half its throat missing poked its head out from behind the wall and began to climb up.

He immediately aimed the shell at its body and pulled the trigger.

The armor-piercing bullet, flashing with fire, swiftly pierced its body, carrying its massive form backward and detaching from the wall.

Another explosion rang out, and the giant lizard's carcass was blown in two in mid-air.

However, He Ao didn't have time to observe the giant lizard's condition at this moment. He took out the last armor-piercing round from the ammunition box, took two steps back, and then took a running start and jumped out from the gap he had just smashed.

Shortly after he leaped out, a small, black monitor lizard burst out of the stairwell, trampling out the still-burning fire, and charged toward Heo.

It was very fast, but He Ao had already leaped off the rooftop. He landed on the rooftop of the adjacent building, rolled to dissipate the force, and then...

They immediately loaded the last armor-piercing round onto the rocket launcher.

At that moment, the giant lizard behind him also burst through the crack and rushed towards He Ao, its huge mouth opening wide and its tongue shooting out like a sharp sword.

At that instant, a flaming metal bullet pierced its throat and entered its body.

Brilliant fireworks exploded in the sky.

He glanced at the scorching hot barrel and tossed the rocket launcher aside.

He brought in a total of six armor-piercing rounds. He used two to kill the live monitor lizards during the day and four more to kill the ones he had just blown up. He had run out of them.

Rocket launchers are useless now.

Actually, he initially planned to take an extra box of shells, but Yang De said that the ruins had weight limits and he wouldn't be able to bring in more, so he gave up.

He glanced at the building where he had just been standing, where giant black lizards were rapidly climbing up the walls.

Some monitor lizards seemed to have noticed that Heo had left and were leaping toward the building where Heo was now standing.

Judging from the extent of damage to these 'giant lizard carcasses,' ordinary firearms bullets should not have caused them much harm. The wounds caused by the bullets were very small, much smaller than the original wounds on these carcasses, and would not necessarily affect their mobility.

To deal with these controlled corpses, the only solution is to keep them completely still, such as by blasting them into pieces with armor-piercing shells.

The guns He Ao carried didn't have high explosive power and couldn't break the corpses apart.

Aside from bullets, the only other option is to try using a sword to cut them into pieces and render them immobile.

Heo didn't want to fight these putrid 'undead creatures' hand-to-hand, and there were just too many of them.
