Hearing the praise around him, Junjue smiled and accepted it. He was not a person who liked to show off, but at this moment, he felt extremely proud and satisfied.
"Thank you for your praise. This is just what I should do. We are survivors of a natural disaster, and we can only get through this crisis by helping each other," the Duke said humbly.
Everyone nodded in agreement, showing their understanding and approval. In this disaster, the Duke had demonstrated his courage and strength, earning everyone's respect and admiration.
After a fierce battle, the Lord finally killed the mutated lizard.
Its body was enormous, eight meters long and three meters tall, giving off a suffocating sense of terror. The Duke went out and dragged the giant lizard's carcass back to the sanctuary.
Di Zhantian, Dongfang Ao, Su Ye, and Ye Yuan were Junjue's good brothers. They ran over together to watch, hoping their good friend would say something.
Five or six hundred people sat together, their eyes filled with terror as they stared at the giant lizard corpse in the Lord's hands.
"Captain Jun's strength is terrifying! He can lift something that's eight meters long and over three meters tall?"
"Could it be that Captain Jun also mutated and gained lightning-based superpowers?"
"I think so! As Captain Jun just said, after the natural disaster ends, the apocalypse will come. At that time, everything will mutate, and some people will even turn into zombies."
Then the Lord's voice echoed throughout the entire shelter: "After this thing mutated, although the meat is a bit hard to eat, at least it can fill your stomach."
In the future apocalypse, we will need the ability to hunt such monsters, not only to be able to eat our fill, but also to exercise our bodies.
Although the meat of mutated beasts is unpalatable, it can enhance physical fitness and strength, and has many other benefits. The effects will be more pronounced with long-term consumption.
"If anyone doesn't dare to take action, there will be even worse insect powder later. Although it can fill your stomach, it will be a hundred times worse than this." He said with a determined, wicked smile.
People began to discuss it, with some expressing their anticipation for the Duke's words and hoping to taste the meat of the monitor lizard.
Some people, however, felt fear and were afraid to be enemies with such a monster.
The new manager of the shelter was a tall, middle-aged man with a determined look in his eyes. He said to the Duke:
"Captain Jun, your courage and ability are admirable. But we must consider not only the issue of filling our stomachs, but also the risks to our survival."
"It's only the beginning of the natural disaster, and this giant lizard has mutated to such a powerful state. We must proceed with caution from now on."
Junjue nodded, understanding the new manager's concerns. However, his gaze remained firm: "I understand what you mean, but this is precisely our opportunity to enhance our strength."
We need to bravely face the terror; only in this way can we survive in the future apocalypse.” After saying this, the Duke used his psychic abilities to secretly extract the mutated lizard's crystal core and throw it into his spatial dimension.
The crowd fell silent, deeply moved by the words of the Duke.
In the days that followed, they were gripped by fear, and the timid may have spent their lives fleeing from the monsters. But the Lord's words ignited the courage deep within them.
The new manager pondered for a moment, then finally nodded: "Alright, since you are so determined, let's face this terrifying giant lizard together!"
There will be more dangers ahead, so please be careful and protect each other.
In the following days, the Lord and his good brother led the people of the refuge to cook the giant monster and then let everyone taste it.
With the efforts of five or six hundred people, even the large mutated creature corpses were quickly cleaned up.
The heavy corpse lay in the center of the shelter, emitting a strong stench of decay. The four brothers and the others gathered around the enormous creature, staring curiously at the carcass of the giant mutated lizard.
The Duke's eyes gleamed with a meaningful light as he said to the crowd, "This is a rare opportunity for us to taste the flesh of future mutated creatures ahead of time."
The group looked at each other, unsure how to react.
Some people felt fear, while others were curious.
Ultimately, for humanity, the desire to survive triumphed over fear, and they began to eagerly anticipate this rare feast.
As night fell, the storm raged outside, but the lights in the shelter illuminated the entire large house, which was several hundred square meters in size.
Lord Jun led the group to dissect the giant mutated lizard's carcass, the flesh emitting a strange smell.
This made everyone even more excited, and they moved closer, beginning their attempt with trepidation.
Di Zhantian picked up a piece of lizard meat, put it in his mouth, and his taste buds were instantly enveloped by the simmering meat juices.
He took a bite and immediately tasted a sour flavor, accompanied by a pungent, fishy stench. He groaned in agony.
"Good heavens, this is the food for the apocalypse? What's the difference between this and something sour and smelly?"
However, considering that it can improve his physique and strength, I'll just have to make do a little!
Ye Yuan looked at him and bit into the meat in his mouth. This thing is way too old!
Not only is it unpalatable, but the meat is as tough as a ten-year-old hen. It's so tough you can't even bite it!
He rubbed his throat and swallowed with difficulty, saying with a wry smile, "It's a peculiar taste that has overturned our understanding of food."
"Damn it, in this post-apocalyptic world, humans not only have to face zombies, mutated animals, and attacks from zombie-like creatures, but they can only eat this disgusting food when they have the means. It's just too much..."
