(Kyosei's View)

The Banshee is struggling and is screaming from the top of its lungs just to shake me off from stopping the banshee from moving. However, that is not going to be the case.

Because I am not affected by the Banshee's screams due to my headphones, the scream's effect is all deemed useless instead. I pull out

the Piyavka Cleaver and without waiting for the Banshee to recover its little strength left, I stab its c.h.e.s.t with the Piyavka Machete and pry the c.h.e.s.t open using the Piyavka Cleaver. All of the blood that has been coating the cleaver red got slowly absorbed by the cleaver, so it isn't messy at all.

With the screaming Banshee keeping on struggling hard and shaking me off, I rip out the contents of its c.h.e.s.t using my Piyavka Machete and pull out its contents. Inside the c.h.e.s.t is the usual organ of the body, the heart but this time around, there is the Piyavka ore attached to its heart along with a very small and faint blue color jewel on the heart. If I would guess, this is the core of the Banshee.

The Banshee is still alive and is much wilder than ever but before it can get more chaotic with the Banshee, I remove the core in one easy pluck.

The moment the core was ripped out from the banshee, the banshee stiffened, it stopped screaming and it stopped moving. The core is still intact and it turned out okay. The banshee, on the other hand, died without even getting its head smashed, shot, or anything like that, which allowed me to learn that killing undead in the head might be universal but killing a variant is easy if you just rip off the core or in a worst-case scenario, break it before it.

I didn't linger on the area where I killed the banshee. With all the ruckus I made back when I rip the core off, I am sure that the undead is already attracted to the area.

On the roof, I checked the skies if any Headaches are flying around. I don't want to get f*cked up while I am standing here.

Thankfully, none are flying around, otherwise, I have to trouble myself shooting every single flying Headaches coming in my way. After making sure that there is no danger lurking around, I check the core in my hands and inspected it.

The core looks like marble if you just look at its shape but if you look closely, you will notice that it didn't resemble any kind of marble at all. Instead, it looked more like a small aquamarine gem, only around the size of a normal marble.

It might look like a gem but I noticed that this core is not even hard. Holding it will remind you of a small gel ball in toys. You might even fear squishing it and break it if you squished it a little bit too hard.

However, with this little core in hand, I am doubting whether this little thing is enough. It might be a core but that doesn't mean it is a good core. It might be even invalid due to its little size.

With this little core in my hand, I put it inside the little container I usually put the Piyavka Ores I harvested. I didn't bring the Piyavka Ore of the banshee as it is too small and I don't think harvesting a lot of them it can get heavy and time-consuming to harvest at times.

Since I am doubting whether this core is enough to be used as a core for Kato's recovery, I decided to look for another variant. A much bigger variant than the banshee.

Stalkers can be one source of them, and decapitators are also valid but they are too dangerous and I might lose my head first before I can secure a core from them.

One of the choices I have is the Juggernaut itself. Although they are predictable, killing them is a little bit tedious especially the body of that Juggernaut, acting as armor in a meat tank to soak in damage from battles.

The hours of Kato are short and I am running out of time. Staring at the little core I just put back on a container, I shook my head and decided to go back to the base and just do it to at least extend Kato's chances of mutating.

Going back to the motorcycle by traversing the roofs and rooftops, the motorcycle is toppled over and when I found it a little bit trampled than usual but it is still functional, I sighed in relief that they didn't break from all the wreak the horde brings to the humans.

The moment I revved up the motorcycle, the undead came running again. Once they are on sight, I quickly accelerate to the road, as quick as I can while avoiding the little bastards from chasing.

The roads are full of obstacles which include rocks, cars, debris, and also the undead.
