Chapter 1231 - 1230: Lizard

Bang!

The instant Lu Yu's foot stamped down in front of him, a dull thud rang out. From the sensation transmitted back through his leg, he could clearly feel that this kick was like slamming into some ancient armor—hard on the outside, soft within.

Armor?

Feeling that strange touch, Lu Yu thought to himself in the depths of his mind. Right now his eyes were full of confusion; he had no idea what this transparent thing in front of him actually was.

That kick from Lu Yu was already heavy and powerful, and on top of that he was in an enhanced state of strength. The force behind it was ridiculously solid, like a massive iron hammer crashing down, carrying a violent shockwave as it smashed into this invisible mass of an enemy.

Poof!

The moment his foot landed on the opponent, a jet of purple liquid suddenly sprayed out into the air in front of him, and a dull sound came from the floor right after, as if something heavy had been slammed down onto it.

Rustle rustle rustle…

The instant that thing hit the ground, it let out a faint rustling sound, and then a large pool of purple liquid started gushing out nonstop.

The liquid was extremely viscous, laced with a rank, fishy stench that spread through the air, making people feel nauseous just smelling it.

"What is this liquid?"

Seeing the purple fluid, Lu Yu's brows furrowed. He thought to himself silently.

Based on his past experience, this fishy smell was very close to the scent of blood, but this color and this acrid stench were things normal blood could never have.

As that thought flashed by, Lu Yu felt the floor under his feet squirm, and then a man whose body was covered in scales suddenly appeared.

The man's face and body were both sheathed in smooth scales that glinted faintly under the cabin lights.

"Lizard."

Seeing the man's body, Lu Yu recognized it in an instant. This guy's appearance looked just like those lizards that survived in extreme environments.

Lizards, as animals, were very closely related to snakes, but lizards were naturally more aggressive, and their physical strength and biting power far surpassed snakes. Some specific species could even turn invisible and camouflage themselves. So this man's look instantly made Lu Yu think of a Lizard.

Staring at the man on the floor, Lu Yu slowly stepped forward until he stood before him. He bent down a little, tapped the man's body with the tip of his shoe, then hooked his toes under him and flipped the man over.

"It's him?"

As the body rolled over, Lu Yu looked at the man's face and murmured.

He had seen this man's face once back at the airport. He hadn't expected this guy to be something like this.

"But he's really dead."

Lu Yu's gaze flicked downward. He saw the man's chest caved in, purple stains at the corners of his mouth. There was no trace of breath left in him; he looked completely dead.

That crushing kick from Lu Yu had landed squarely on the man's chest, shattering all the bones there and pulping his internal organs, which was why he had thrown up that purple blood just now.

"A biological Modified Man…"

Looking at the corpse in front of him, Lu Yu muttered, "Combining Lizard genes with human genes… what a sick way of doing things…"

Combining human DNA with animal DNA was strictly forbidden in the field of biological research, so the state this man was in could only be the result of some illegal experiment.

"Filthy creature…"

Lu Yu spoke slowly, his tone low. He bent down and picked up the man's broken weapon from the floor. When he saw it clearly, the corner of his mouth lifted slightly, a cold smile tugging at his lips.

The broken weapon was a slender spike, pitch black with a bluish sheen, obviously laced with deadly venom.

If this thing so much as scratched your skin, the poison on the weapon would enter your blood in an instant, and you'd drop dead on the spot.

"Go to Hell."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Lu Yu didn't hesitate in the slightest. The broken weapon in his hand drove straight down and nailed into the man's neck!

Oww!

The moment the broken spike pierced his neck, this monster of a man let out a shrill scream, and then his body went limp, collapsing bonelessly to the floor, dead where he fell.

Lizards had an extremely tenacious life force and could struggle on even in very harsh environments. The man in front of him had only taken a massive impact that had severely damaged his internal organs.

Just because the organs were damaged didn't mean a Lizard would necessarily die. So Lu Yu had to give him this finishing blow, just to eliminate any future trouble.

Watching the man twitch twice on the floor and then go still, Lu Yu slowly straightened up. A chill flashed in his eyes as he walked forward a couple of steps to the cockpit door. He rapped his knuckles lightly against it twice, trying to confirm what was going on inside.

But after those two knocks, there was no response from within.

Hearing nothing from the cockpit, Lu Yu's heart gave a little jolt. He suddenly grabbed the door handle and gave it a light twist.

Click!

With a soft sound, the cockpit door turned under his hand, and the scene inside was instantly laid bare before his eyes.

The cockpit was utterly silent. The captain and the first officer were both sitting quietly in their seats, eyes fixed on the sea of clouds ahead, their bodies motionless, like mannequins.

"Just as I thought."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Lu Yu spoke in a flat voice, his words laced with helplessness.

The captain and first officer were both frozen in their seats exactly like the chief purser had been earlier.

Obviously, the captain and first officer were already dead in the cockpit.

"The captain's dead."

Seeing this, Lu Yu shook his head helplessly, then said, "What a pain. Looks like I'll have to…"

His voice cut off mid-sentence.

Staring at the captains' necks, a shadow flickered through his eyes.

Because Lu Yu had now noticed that on the necks of both the captain and the first officer, there were two soybean-sized puncture holes. These holes were completely different from the wounds made by that Lizardman's weapon just now.

The injuries on the captains' necks were totally different from the chief purser's. That meant that besides the dead Lizardman, there was someone else involved!

And that person was clearly not here. Which meant there was a very good chance they were somewhere among the passengers in the cabin, silently watching everything that was happening.
