Chapter 96 (1/2)
Another victim changed into a host. The offspring did not get greedy and only took a minority. Like this, they went from 2 hosts to creating 5 more.
They had eaten the old woman up a long time ago. She is useless because she is so old. The offspring fused 2 into 1, so they became a total of 3 adults.
“What are you doing here?”
“Go back.”
When the hosts approached the bunker entrance, a few soldiers tried to stop them. Their goal is to open the door, so there is no reason for them to stop. The atmosphere is becoming cold.
The party made up of Lifers came with their flamethrowers and had the soldiers go back. It could be that they are crazy and unable to speak, but they have a feeling.
“This.”
“I’m getting a bad premonition. If you come any closer, I’ll cook you.”
A party member turned the flamethrower on. A red flame flicked out and grazed the floor. Did they feel threatened? They stopped.
Keureuk!
Their eyes meet and they get a feel for each other. The party members that they are hosts, the hosts that they have been caught. The actions to take after?
Wiing!
A soldier did not think and rang the siren. It is an emergency. Hosts entered the bunker. The party members prepared for battle as well.
“Why now?”
“There are few of them.”
They had been crept up on, but it is not a desperate situation. It does not seem like the inside has been compromised. If it had, there would have been chaos. There are just 3 of them.
“Too too!”
“Infestors!”
“Get down!”
The host that spit out 14 brown infestors sheds the human. The sound of bones breaking with the body twisting in a bizarre manner.
“That!”
“Level 4!”
The party members stutter. It is similar to the level 4 parasite that they had fought in sleeping room 1. The only difference is that it is a bit smaller.
The party members avoided the infestors with their enhanced senses, but the soldiers could not do the same. 7 hosts are going through transition.
“Fry them!”
Bang!
1 of the 3 hosts that completed transitioning first got to the party within seconds, and hit a member’s stomach. He went rolling back as though flying from the incredible strength.
He avoided instant death with his metal armor, impact tights, and body modification.
9 people launched their flamethrowers. The survivors started screaming from the dorms after detecting the noise. They have recalled their nightmares of the past.
A long and sharp tentacle licks out like a sword. The party members focus and run around to avoid it. From experience, it is just under level 4. It is a level 3.
“Damn it! Hey! Are you dead?”
“Ugh! Shut up!”
The party member who had been hit by the host rubs his stomach and joins the formation. At the same time, the 7 hosts completed their transition.
“It’s 10 to 10.”
The number of hosts and the number of party members is the same. The problem is quality. The quantity might be the same, but there is a huge difference in level. These people cannot win against level 3 mutants 1 to 1.
On top of that, one of the party members is a medic. He falls behind in battle. They are on a hinge.
“Did you radio in?”
“It’s frozen.”
A characteristic of the ark makes it so that their radios do not work once they reach a certain distance. To put it simply, getting support is a wish that will only come true in their dreams.
“The bunker isn’t safe either. How did they get in here?”
Bang!
The hosts were about to turn to look at the noise behind them when they fell back from an incredible force from the front.
“You?”
“You, you did that in one hit?”
“Ah. You guys don’t mind me and guard the bunker. From what the hosts are doing, it looks like they’re trying to open the door.”
Park Jin Hyuk does not undermine mutants. He has seen and experienced too much to do that. He needs to accept these as a type of extra-terrestrial intelligence as well.
Kyak!
“Huh? I hit them with all of my strength, but they healed already? So you’re level 3?”
He had hit with his foot, covered in a metal armor made of steel. And that was with all of his strength. If it had been a level 1 or 2, it would have died instantly.
“Shall we play?”
Papat!
Park Jin Hyuk holds the Head Hunter and withdraws. He provoked the hosts. Just 2 of them follow him. He is just a snack.
“You guys can’t.”
