129 Mega Centre (1/2)

The hot rays of the sun shone unto everyone below the heavens.

On the open road, numerous carriers were fighting with a large group of skilled individuals. They killed their enemies every time they swung their swords. The carriers blood would then drip from the tip of the sword as the masked men looked for their next target.

At that moment, a loud roar resounded followed by the earth quaking.

Behind the masked men was an individual wielding a large hammer that has two skulls with burning eyes. It glowed red and would emit sizzling sounds every time it hit its target.

\”Good job everyone! Just keep them away and I'll be able to deal with this one.\” Jun shouted as he stepped to the side, safely dodging a humungous muscular hand that wanted to punch him.

Jun was currently fighting a D2 all by himself.

The D2's hand only hit thin air and overextended since it uses overwhelming strength on its every strike. This is also one of the reasons why Jun can fight it solo. Since the D2 had an oddly long arm, Jun took advantage of its recoil period when it was pulling back.

He struck the D2's kneecaps once again and after keeping at it for several times, the joint on the knee finally gave up and dislocated itself.

The D2 staggered before falling sideways. It used its hands to stabilize itself, then ferociously roared at Jun. A second later, using its long hands, it limped towards a nearby dead carrier on the ground. It hurriedly devoured the carrier starting from the leg. Eerie bone crunching noise came out of the D2's mouth as dark blood flowed out from it.

The onlookers were already used to the sight of slaughter but still felt terrified at the cannibalism that's happening in front of them.

Jun noticed that the D2's wounds were slowly regenerating, so he quickly ran towards it. Since the D2 had its back on him, Jun channeled as much energy to do an Empowered Strike.

The bonehammer glowed crimson and Jun smashed the D2's head with an over-head strike , finally dealing the final blow.

The D2's head splattered in the area and the headless corpse fell forward. The body it was holding got squashed when the D2's bulky body fell on it.

He looked around to make sure that everyone is safe, before looting the evolved carriers body.

He made some simple rules earlier and the group was now implementing it. When a carriers body is damaged and unlootable, it would be harvested for its resources. Currently, the bone is used to make weapons for fighting the undead while the meat still had no purpose aside from bait and as an escape tool. You could also make traps were you place meat out in the open and wait for an unsuspecting carrier to take it.

The carriers can eat their fellow friends as lng as they were stronger than them and Jun has witnessed alot of it. The evolved ones would always grab a nearby carrier, dead or alive, and use them as health potions.

For regular carriers, meat gives them additional energy which could help them survive for the day or if they're lucky enough, evolve to something new at night. This is why the meat trap was effective for catching lone or small groups of carriers.

Ever since the bone weaponries were sold to the public, the survivors finally got stronger. And since the survivors were getting stronger, the carriers were being killed with ease, resulting in abundance of crafting resources; the bones.

The price of the regular carriers bones were halved and yet it was still on the decline while the evolved carriers bone stayed on its regular price. Why did it not rise since it was rare? Its because some civilian groups were finally able to deal with lone Ranked 1 Evolved carriers.

The survivors were now slowly getting accustomed to the new world and has started its advance in exploring it.

The skirmish by the street finally finished. The rice paddies on both sides of the road were a nice change of scenery for everyone.

Jun was currently on an EXP Buff and wants to use its effect as best as he could. They went out before the sun could even rise. He already planned for this but he forgot to remind everyone about it. So, when he arrived outside of the Black Haven compound, there was noone waiting for him on the street. The problem was easily solved when Jun used the contract to wake everyone up and ordered for them to come. Several minutes later, dozens of masked men jogged towards him.

The group followed Jun as he journeyed to the east. They used a jeepney to transport everyone since it could accomodate 25 people in it, including the driver. They left the jeepney at the local gas station, since there's no reason for bringing it further when the goal was to fight the undead. Also, going back was not a problem since they can just portal back to the statue.
