Moonlight streamed through the hollow openings, casting light on the Lizardmen's ferocious faces.
They carefully secured the equipment inside the shipping container behind the heavy truck.
Dr. Lizardman, meanwhile, meticulously checked whether the precision instruments lowered from upstairs had been damaged.
These instruments were crucial to producing the Lizard Serum. Any damage could affect his plans.
He carefully inspected every component and every connection, not letting go of a single detail.
After the equipment had been moved, Dr. Lizardman already had a plan for his next step.
Once he had seized the Lizard Serum production equipment, he planned to flee into New York City's labyrinthine underground drainage system.
New York City's underground drainage pipes were like a vast maze—damp, dark, and filled with a pungent stench.
But to Dr. Lizardman and the Lizardmen, it was the perfect hiding place.
Within the underground drainage system, humanity's advanced heavy weapons would have no room to operate.
Powerful tanks and armored vehicles simply could not enter such cramped spaces.
If the human military wanted to pursue them, they could only send in light infantry and special forces.
Yet in such a complicated environment, light infantry and special forces would find it difficult to make use of their advantages.
Not only would they have to contend with darkness and confined spaces, but they would also need to remain vigilant against the Lizardmen's sudden ambushes.

Yet this seemingly invincible recovery ability was not without flaws.
Cell division was the key process through which Lizardmen healed their wounds, but it required a massive amount of energy and oxygen.
The transport of all these substances depended heavily on the complex and precise circulatory systems within their bodies.
Once they
