58 The Bone Armored Mutan (1/2)
9:06 PM – City Mall, Bacoor, Central Area, Basement Parking
Mark and Ange entered the part of the Basement Parking that was under the Central Area of the Mall with their guns in their hands, ready to shoot whatever was the cause of the Massacre. As they stepped into the area, there was an unknown pressure that enveloped their bodies. It was not a feeling of being watched or being stared down by a beast but rather, entering a territory of a terrifying monster.
They were less than thirty meters away from the entrance of the basement parking but the pressure they were feeling made them feel that the distance was even further.
Mark looked at the direction opposite of the entrance and spoke to Ange who was behind him with a low voice.
”Angeline, go towards the entrance and find the control for the shutters. Tell them to not enter with the survivors they brought or they might become a hindrance.”
”How about you?”
”I'll stay here and lure whatever this thing away if it tries to attack.”
”Alright be careful.”
Ange looked one more time at Mark and hurried towards the entrance without making too much noise.
Mark kept staring in front of him trying to detect any movements. The intense emotional fluctuation increased when they entered this area but Mark could not determine the exact location as there were dim areas inside the parking area. It seemed that several lights were busted or might even be deliberately destroyed as Mark could make out several broken pieces of LED bulbs on the ground.
He then reached into the right side of his helmet and turned on a device he attached to it. It was a small Bluetooth Camera that was connected with his phone. He found it boxed in the shop he was made his base in. He started recorded for various reasons. One, for research purposes and another was for documentation of how he died if ever it happened.
Blagam!
A few seconds after Ange left, a dead body of a man was thrown away not far from Mark's position. As Mark was already waiting for any movement, he did not flinch from the sudden appearance of the dead body. It also made him determine the position of the creature that he was looking for. He could see a silhouette of a woman walking on the dark side of the parking lot in the middle of two cars.
The creature sluggishly walked out into the light and Mark finally saw it.
It was a woman about several years older from his age only wearing her lingerie. She had a long black hair and a good looking face. Well, the left half of her face was the only good looking part now though.
On the right half of her body, from her foot to her face, a grey colored armor which had a texture similar to human bones enveloped her. There were several black pointed bones protruding from some of her joints on the right side of her body like her right knee, right elbow and right shoulder. There were also several pointed bones on protruding from her chest and even pierced through her right breast which looked like parts of her rib cage. Her right eye was glowing yellow and staring straight at him as if was something insignificant. Her body and armor was stained with blood. At the end of her fingers, there was also black colored claws growing where her nails was supposed to be.
She walked while dragging her left foot and tilting her head to her left. Drops of blood fell from her chin and claws to the floor.
On the uncovered part of her body, her black colored upper and lower lingerie was exposed and her skin was stained and dripping with blood. Even the left half of her face was smeared with blood.
Mark was dumbfounded, her face was not smeared with blood not only from other people but also from her own. Her left eye was still dripping with tears, red blood tears and there were also traces of blood coming from her mouth.
Mark reached for his collar and played a song from his phone. He made sure that the volume as just enough to hear the song while still being able to hear the sounds around him so he would be able to hear when the entrance opened.
The song started to play. Mark's eyes then dilated and he immediately jumped and rolled to his right.
At the instant he rolled away, several black flashes appeared where he stood before.
Fast!
The instant he played the song, the woman covered in bone armor traversed about 10 meters in an instant!
Even though the woman's speed was fast, Abbygale was still faster. Mark could only see a red shadow before but Mark could still somehow react to the movements of this woman.
After rolling to the ground, Mark stood up and jumped back before firing his shotgun towards the woman.
BANG!
'Dammit!'
Mark cursed in his mind.
This mutant woman had better instincts compared to the mutant zombies he encountered before! When Mark fired his gun, the woman immediately jumped up using her right armored foot and propelled herself towards the ceiling.
That was about 7 meters distance from the ground!
The woman pierced her claws towards the ceiling, spun her body forwards and kicked the ceiling propelling her body towards Mark.
Mark wanted to fire at her once more when had to dodge towards his left as he did not dare meet her attack head on. If he did even once, he will become minced meat! His armor would not be able to protect him from something that could effortlessly pierce through the concrete ceiling like the claws of this woman!
After he dodged, he was facing the woman's armored side. The woman fell on the ground as she swiped her claws through the empty air.
