Avid Gamer In The Apocalypse

CHAPTER 7

Everett swiftly grabbed a wooden table and dashed forward. When the lizard was about to bite his head, Everett shoved the wooden table into its mouth, causing it to bite the table instead of Mr. Daniel.

The lizard crushed the table instantly with its fangs and shifted its gaze toward Everett instead of Mr. Daniel.

"Damn it," Everett gulped as three giant lizards surrounded him with nowhere to run. "Mr. Daniel, let's figure out a way to escape!" Everett glanced at where Mr. Daniel had been standing, only to find him running away, leaving him behind.

"He seriously just left without me? That scumbag! After I risked my life to save him, this is how he repays me?" Everett exclaimed, his blood boiling with anger as he watched Mr. Daniel run away.

SLASH!

While Everett struggled to figure out how to escape, one of the giant vicious lizards lashed its long, razor-sharp tongue toward him, slashing his chest and sending him flying.

Everett flew across the room until he landed on a wooden desk, breaking it into pieces.

"Ugh. Such strength," Everett grunted in pain as he struggled to rise to his feet. "The weak spot of the lizards is their brain. Just like a zombie, if they get stabbed in the head, they die instantly. Even though I know their weak spot, I'm not sure if I'm strong enough to get close, let alone stab it," Everett mused as the three lizards charged towards him once more.

Everett shifted his gaze to the floor and caught sight of a piece of wood with a sharp edge, broken from the table he crashed into. Everett swiftly picked up the wood as the lizards closed in, slashing their claws towards him.

Everett managed to react by leaning backward until his back almost touched the floor, dodging the claws completely. With Everett close to the floor, he performed two backflips to create distance and regain composure, but one of the lizards didn't relent.

The lizard hungrily closed the gap, opening its mouth, and shooting out its long, sharp tongue like a whip towards Everett.

Everett stood in a fighting stance as he watched the tongue head towards him at tremendous speed.

"I created you, so I'm basically your god! And whatever a god creates, he can also take away!" Everett shouted as he placed the piece of sharp wood in his mouth and bit down. Everett then stretched forth both hands and caught the tongue when it was only inches away from him.

The lizard tried to retrieve its outstretched tongue, but Everett's grip was too strong, making it impossible for the lizard to free itself. Even as the sharp edge of the tongue tore Everett's palms, causing him to bleed, he didn't let go and continued biting down on the wood in his mouth to stifle any cries of pain.

Everett gripped the tongue tightly and leaped into the air, using the tongue as a swing to boost himself higher until he was above the lizard. Finally, Everett let go of the tongue in mid-air and took out the piece of sharp wood from his mouth.

He gripped the wood with both hands and brought it down on the lizard's head. The sharp wood dug into the lizard's head, causing it to roar in agony until the lifeless body hit the floor. Green blood seeped from the head and stained the floor as Everett landed back on his feet, panting heavily.

He lifted his right hand and wiped the sweat and blood off his face while still panting heavily.

"Even though the whole body is as hard as a rock, the head is much softer, since it's the weak spot," Everett mused, still panting heavily. "I might have taken one down successfully, but there are still two more."

Everett turned around, fixing his gaze on the two vicious lizards preparing their next attack.

"The piece of wood I used has sunk into the lizard's head, and now there's only one left. Damn it," Everett pondered internally, getting into a fighting stance as his gaze remained fixed on the lizards.

"I don't need to kill them; I just need to find a way to reach that door and exit the place, then find the tunnel," Everett intoned.

The lizards stood for several more moments before launching forward with a guttural sound.

"Here they come!" Everett exclaimed as the lizards closed in on him in a blink of an eye, slashing their blade-like claws forward.

Everett reacted swiftly by leaping a few meters backward, narrowly dodging the strike. The lizards closed in instantly, slashing their claws towards him.

Everett had no choice but to lift his arms in an 'X' shape in front of him to block the strike. The claws connected neatly with his arms, tearing through his skin, causing blood to flow as the force pushed Everett several steps backward.

"Argh!" Everett screamed in pain as blood gushed from his arms. "If only I had the attributes of my character, I would have easily defeated these bastards. But attributes are only unlocked after the first level!" Everett gritted his teeth, watching the lizards charge towards him once more.

They lashed their long, sharp tongues toward Everett in unison, traveling through the air like long whips. Everett managed to swerve his body sideways, dodging the first whip but failing to dodge the second.

The tongue whipped his chest, tearing his skin and lifting him off the floor, sending him crashing against a nearby wall.

Blood trickled down his chest as he struggled to stand but found it impossible due to several broken bones.

"Darn it. I'm too weak and injured to stand. This is it. This is where I die," Everett concluded, still attempting to stand but continuously falling.

Heavy footsteps approached as the two lizards charged toward Everett to finish him off.

Before the lizards could reach him, the entrance door of the place was blown away as several men in black military uniforms and masks rushed in with blasters and guns. BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

They aimed their blasters and guns at the lizards, blowing their brains clean off. Green blood splattered around as the heads of the lizards were blown away, their gigantic bodies hitting the floor.

"The Perilous Military?" Everett mused, falling to the floor with his vision blurring. "Shit, why are these military here? This is much worse than being eaten." Everett finally passed out.

The military noticed Everett on the floor and swiftly made their way towards him.

"We have a survivor on the second floor. We'll bring him in right away," one of the Perilous Military spoke into his radio. His comrades lifted Everett off the floor and carried him outside.

They carried him outside the headquarters building, and as they stepped out, the building was set ablaze.

"Place him in the servant's truck. The boss needs more slaves to help him complete some missions and earn points," one of the men in black said, tossing Everett into a truck and shutting the door.
