Chapter 405 - 405 G

Chapter 405: G

“Just like us, the crows are inhabitants of Earth, repelling these alien monstrosities…”

Benefitting from the protection of the crows, the townsfolk who were mostly unharmed in the wreck, perceive their assistance as ‘protection given by fellow inhabitants of the same planet.’

Twenty-six individuals are still alive.

The protagonist, David, had swiftly maneuvered to the other end of the alleyway, “Quick, this way! Escape to the supermarket, it’s our only chance for survival.”

In the mist, there was no room for any sort of hesitation.

Stimulated by the threat of death, everyone’s adrenaline levels skyrocket, and even the weak and elderly manage to keep up.

All spare torches in their hands are lit, and the high-powered flashlights turned on, in an attempt to maximize their field of vision within the mist.

After much deliberation, Han Dong has the crows lead the way while he covers the rear.

If Han Dong leads the way, their numbers might dwindle as they traverse… marking the end of the omen event.

The rear-guard Han Dong waves his hand.

Instantly, the alley behind them is blocked by a wall of yellow sand, temporarily preventing the Octopus Soldiers from taking that route, but…

Han Dong vaguely observed the bodies of the soldiers, supported by several octopus tentacles, easily traversing the sand and climbing over buildings… their speed greatly surpassing that of the average human.

“We’re at least three kilometers away from the supermarket… and with other creatures lurking in the mist, our pace will significantly decrease. They’ll catch up to us in less than a kilometer.

Hmm… The myth stage is indeed challenging.

Rewards require sacrifice.”

A black-bordered Ally Card gripped in Han Dong’s hand displayed the terrifying Double-headed Crow Man.

“Deploying the Ally Card – [Crowman] will consume one omen value and lasts for one hour… Do you wish to deploy it?”

“Yes!”

Accompanied by a black flash emanating from the card.

Caw!

Duo Zeya, long unseen, makes his appearance. He was unfazed by the misty environment, in fact, he seemed to find it rather comfortable.

“Duo Zeya, along with the murder of crows I’ve created, guide these people back to the central supermarket in the town… Try to minimize casualties. If I find that you’re slacking off, don’t bother following me anymore.”

“Understood… I don’t smell any particular danger at the moment, leave such trivial tasks to me.”

“Hurry up, it might be hard for me to hold off the thing that’s chasing us.”

“Lead… leader! Why does your head have such a weak scent?” Duo Zeya quickly noticed the issue with Han Dong, given that he should have no trouble dealing with these creatures in the mist.

“Certain abilities are restricted because of the specific environment, Duo Zeya, you’re probably experiencing the same. Be careful… Use my crows extensively to distract the creatures in the mist, don’t try to fight them head-on.”

“Caw… understood.”

Duo Zeya leads hundreds of magic crows in the dark, protecting the civilians. Han Dong was somewhat reassured… such an investment was worth it.

If successful, three omen values would be credited.

The risk involved would have to be borne by Han Dong himself.

“Already?”

In less than half a minute, Octopus Soldiers with cylindrical beaks had caught up and were fully encircling them.

Unbelievably.

They did not close in directly and use their corrosive octopus tentacles for attack. Instead, they raised their automatic rifles and focused their assault on the isolated Han Dong.

In an instant, more than a dozen bullets penetrated Han Dong’s body… turning him into a makeshift sieve momentarily.

“Alie-eoun!”

One of the Octopus Soldiers uttered an incomprehensible sound from its meaty beak, and the rest of the soldiers immediately ceased fire, approaching to check on their target’s status.

When they used their suction cup-covered tentacles to wind up Han Dong, a pile of yellow sand fell into the soldier’s beak.

Following that, the ‘Han Dong’ that was shot into a sieve spontaneously disintegrated and turned into a heap of yellow sand.

While the soldiers’ attention was diverted by the yellow sand decoy.

Han Dong had silently circled to the back of a soldier.

Having survived two omen events, Han Dong had already discovered some of this world’s laws.

Indirect effects like yellow sand and plague had little effect on the creatures in the mist… but as long as it involved props from the scene.

For instance, the gasoline used previously to burn the Cold Spider, and the fire axe used to behead the Octopus Soldiers, effects were excellent.

Therefore, some necessary changes had to be made to the accumulated combat experience from before.

“Brother, take a swig of gas!”

Taking advantage of the soldiers’ inattention, Han Dong forcefully jammed a bottle of gasoline into the cylindrical beak of his opponent… At the same time, he snapped his fingers to ignite the fuel.

Burning from within.

The life form that originated from and thrived in the ocean desiccated swiftly due to the flames…

Simultaneously.

Han Dong lifted the fire axe with his right arm.

“In such special events, the traits of the G-virus can be fully manifested… If I could completely control it, it’d be extremely beneficial. Having said that, it’s quite uncomfortable to look at such distasteful life forms for long.”

Han Dong suppressed the feelings of nausea and dizziness, relinquishing part of the restraint on the G-virus.

Snap!

An oversized arm, larger than Han Dong’s body, heavily landed on the ground.

Screech screech! An enormous, terrifying eye grew out from the upper arm, greatly enhancing Han Dong’s vision while providing him the capability of ‘Adaptive Combat.’

That was not all… this time, the transformation spread to his chest area.

A few sturdy, sharp white ribs grew out from the flesh, serving the function of protecting the thoracic cavity.

Successfully transitioning into the ‘controllable G2 form’… Han Dong’s body was filled with unimaginable strength.

Though the analysis of the G Arm in the lab classified it as blue quality because Han Dong could only maintain the G1 form… any further would risk losing control.

In reality, the potential of the G-virus was infinite… This was why Han Dong insisted on obtaining the virus antigen in ‘Biohazard,’ despite the odds.

Transforming into the G-Type.

Han Dong swung the fire axe in his hand, offering a decapitating blow to another adjacent Octopus Soldier.

Ink spurted out, and a single hit was all it took to kill.

The remaining Octopus Soldiers immediately redirected their fire.

Muzzles flaring.

A flurry of bullets propelled towards Han Dong’s body.

However…

All the bullets were blocked by his oversized right arm, the bullets that entered his arm could not cause any harm.

Shuffling his feet, Han Dong, tanking the heavy gunfire, menacingly advanced towards the Octopus soldiers… The situation had flipped.

Just as Han Dong was adjusting his combat experience, just when he had gained the upper hand, less than a minute had passed.

From within the mist, an enormous octopus tentacle suddenly stretched out, whisking away two Octopus Soldiers… Bones breaking and flesh tearing could be heard from within the mist.

Seems like something bigger was headed their way…
