Chapter 424: Infiltration
That’s what a so-called “tool” is supposed to be.
If Han Dong was only carrying the common T-virus, the plan could not proceed in this manner… but the G-virus is different.
Normal bullets cannot kill a G-virus host.
Even grenade launchers, hand grenades, or rocket launchers are powerless against it.
If the host’s body is destroyed, it would actually induce the out-of-control G-virus to spur an insane mutation in the body…
Due to the increased overall difficulty, the villagers’ constitution also greatly improved, which inversely benefits the activation and mutation of the G-virus.
For a moment, in front of the black wall of the Cult,
Villagers who should have been killed by the hail of bullets slowly stood up, each transforming into a unique G-virus host.
①. Mr. Ollie, the supermarket owner, naturally stunted by dwarfism, is slightly shorter in stature.
Under the influence of the G-virus, Mr. Ollie’s body shrank even more, reaching only the height of a five-year-old child.
This small body was replete with energy derived from the mutation, granting him unimaginable speed. In a split second, he was out of the machine gun firing zone, preparing to leap onto the black wall with his charged legs.
②. Eileen, a brave old lady from the movie “Mist,” also underwent a terrifying mutation after infection.
She, who originally suffered from a mild slipped disc, had her spine suddenly curved, compelling her to lie completely backward, landing on all fours.
The abdominal region, which was facing upwards, completely split open, giving birth to a growth structure resembling a honeycomb, capable of spraying pus or spikes to attack targets.
③. A young man who wielded a homemade crossbow on the school bus several times, making a significant contribution, evolved in the ‘shooter’ direction after infection.
As his body was originally in excellent condition, he retained his human form during the mutation.
There was a significant mutation at his right wrist.
Up and down, two extremely firm hyperplastic tissue grew and connected at both ends with highly resilient tendon tissues, acting as a bowstring.
Coupled with a giant eye that grew out of his chest, he could accurately lock onto any target, achieving perfect accuracy.
As for the arrows, he directly used his ribs… Under the stimulation of the G-virus, bone cells continuously generated. Such bone arrows were inexhaustible and extremely powerful.
④. The fattest man in the town, an African American, had his subcutaneous fat cells crazily proliferate and expand under the stimulation of the G-virus.
The man turned into a near image of the Boomer (from Left 4 Dead), but his overly obese body wouldn’t explode upon impact… The fatty tissue all over his body could withstand almost all forms of damage.
At present, he blocked about 80% of the bullets with his giant belly, allowing his companions to successfully complete their respective mutations.
⑤. Thanks to the protagonist’s halo, David retained his sanity during the mutation.
Apart from a few protruding veins on his body and his whitened pupils, David almost retained his original human form, still wearing the military gear that Han Dong had given him.
David, whose rationality remained unaffected, continued to serve as the leader, commanding this powerful biochemical army.
David himself also saw this mutation as a miracle.
“This is the chance for rebirth that our long-held faith has brought us… Drive these aliens out of our territory!”
At David’s call.
The terrifying biochemical team sprang into action.
Through sharp hooks and soft tissue that grew on the surface of their limbs, or by virtue of their superior jumping ability, they rapidly leaped onto the black wall and engaged in direct combat with the cult personnel.
Of course…
The soldiers, who had discovered that their weapons were somewhat futile, also began to show their true forms.
A small portion were Octopus Soldiers that Han Dong had seen before, with nauseating octopus faces and corrosive tentacles on their backs.
Some other soldiers grow large insect claws directly, or transform into a phantom form.
A war involving biochemical creatures and monsters fully broke out.
…….
Han Dong was silently watching all this from a hundred meters away.
The mutation effects on the townspeople were better than expected.
If the overall difficulty hadn’t increased, judging by their original constitution, perhaps half of them would have died directly in the mutation, turning into a lump of G virus flesh, incapable of movement yet infinitely multiplying.
“Excellent!
With this, the attention of the Cult is almost entirely drawn by this biochemical troop… Nicole, let’s circle around to the other side of the Cult and sneak in.”
“…Incredible.”
Nicole gazed blankly at the various forms of biochemical monsters.
Initially, she thought Han Dong was a so-called ‘merciful’ person, wanting to desperately protect these humans who stood no chance of survival in the mist… it now seemed that she was mistaken.
She stole a glance at Han Dong.
Nicole’s curiosity and interest in this strange human male grew more.
“Let’s go!”
“Oh…”
Due to the need for quick and quiet movement.
Nicole turned her legs into a dozen or so oily suction cup tentacles, which could perfectly stick to the ground for ultra-fast movement.
As for Han Dong, he directly fused with Duo Zeya. The mere ten-second transfer time didn’t consume too much energy.
“Wow!”
Nicole stared at this Crowman form, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.
Within ten seconds, the two quickly moved to the other side of the black high wall.
As Han Dong landed, his wings and all the bodily changes that came about from the fusion quickly withdrew into his body.
In the blink of an eye, it retracted to the shoulder, transforming into an independent crow.
Such proficient fusion and retraction were the result of multiple training sessions with Duo Zeya, which saved on the energy consumption caused by fusion and allowed for rapid changes to respond to various sudden situations.
“To fuse with another species without relying on formations or contracts… However, you possess the ‘Messenger’ attribute, so thinking about it, it’s not strange.”
During the movement, Nicole nearly licked Han Dong in his crowman form… This octopus sister was extremely curious about all unseen phenomena on land.
“We’re going in from here.”
The Demon Eye had long caught a glimpse of the hidden button on the high wall.
With a finger’s touch, an identity verification system appeared within the black wall.
In Han Dong’s hand was a soldier’s head, chopped off by the protagonist using an axe, still active despite being separated from the body for half an hour.
Successfully validating the iris and blood verification, a passage leading to the ‘Cult’ domain fully opened.
『You have entered an important plot area -[Cult Holy Land], hidden plot synchronously triggered, please kill the Bishop-[Wilcotts. Fanatic].
Possible random omens may occur during this time, please handle with caution.』
Just as Han Dong heard the system hint and was preparing to lead Nicole into the passage,
Moist lips met once again.
This time it was not to absorb essence or to provide oceanic protection for Han Dong. Instead…
Gibberish!
Through kissing.
Nicole directly transferred her main body (little pink octopus) through the mouth into Han Dong’s body, hiding within.
“The bishop here has seen me, and will easily recognize my aura… It’s safer to hide inside your body.
When we encounter ordinary cult members, I’ll assist you from within.
Wait until you encounter the bishop, then I’ll come out and help you.”
