304 Hunt is On (1/2)

The street was once again tranquil filled with certain dangers in every corner.

Random encounters that can happen for any reason at all as if the universe was against you.

Small critters hid in the darkness waiting for good things to befall them.

Some smaller insects move in groups like evolved cockroaches who had stronger exoskeleton after shedding. For smaller beings, evolution was far easier since they have small bodies that need to circulate energy.

Also, reaching the maximum amount of needed excess energy can easily be acquired in the surrounding.

A few more examples of small insects that slightly grew in size were lizards and ants.

Lizards have faster regeneration ability while ants become much stronger. There is no telling as to how strong these neglected creatures would be in the future.

”Bang! Graurw!”

A male regular carrier continued pounding the door of a coin-operated laundry shop.

Its clothes were ripped and bloodied everywhere showing the various bite and tore marks all over its body. Miraculously, there were no wounds to be seen as if the carrier has already eaten something else. or regenerated on its own.

Inside the room, eight people were eating MRE in the middle of the room while trying their best to remain silent, It was the president's group that got separated from the main extraction group.

Rodriguez Duforte stared at the door.

”The noise will attract more. Jerry, can you please deal with it.”

Before Jerry could answer, someone else answered.

”It's fine. Let me take care of it.”

Everyone just got seated after clearing most of the rooms. When they met up at the lobby, their flashlights happened to attract the attention of the carriers outside.

Fortunately, only a small number of them was interested while most reserved their energy.

For regular carriers, every bit of energy needs to be saved when night time since they can't receive constant energy from the sun. Although the moonlight gives a small amount of energy, which isn't enough to preserve until morning, it is still mostly used as a catalyst for evolving.

Unless the carrier was on the brink of running out of energy, they would never be so desperate on moving around. But once they achieved their first evolution, they would be free to go wherever they wanted.

Paul stood up and walked towards the door.

With his keen senses, he knew that there was only one carrier pounding the door.

He breathed in and waited for the right timing.

Thud!

Breathe.

Thud!

Breathe.

After learning of the attack speed of the carrier, he suddenly pulled the door open for retaliation.

The supposed scenario was like this;

Weirdly enough, the pounding sound didn't come even after he opened the door. The carrier that was supposedly pounding it was nowhere to be found.

It was as if the event was just a figment of everyone's imaginations.
