Chapter 454: What a hunter should hunt is.
“Da da. Da.”
Staggering and swaying people wandered aimlessly on the streets.
They were ragged and even had disorganized limbs. Some were dragging their intestines, leaving a crooked trail of blood on the ground. Some without even limbs were twisting their bodies like worms, sniffing the fragrant blood left by the former.
Many more of the debris lying on the roadside could not even move, their bodies became as dry as old trees in the desert, as if all the body fluids had dried up.
If people with these types of forms are considered normal, then there are even more abnormal people.
The people wandering aimlessly sensed something and automatically slowed down their pace.
All I could hear was a wet and soft sound coming from the front, like a rotten sponge filled with water hitting the ground, making a disgusting and strange noise.
The next moment, an extremely bloated huge body appeared from the corner of the street.
Parasites, some thick, some thin, some long, some short, drilled through its swollen skin and twisted their bodies wildly towards the sky. Every slight movement caused pools of thick body fluids to flow out from under the skin of the victim, who was obviously a mutant.
It raised its head, and there were so many parasites there that it looked like a moss-covered stone.
In the pitch-black night where the stars and the moon were almost invisible, these grotesque parasites, with their broken bellows-like throats, let out strange, unconscious cries.
Looking at the entire city, it is such a hellish scene.
This is where the occult blood parasite disaster first broke out, the second largest city in the country called "Red", Savis.
This city, which was friendly with beautiful mermaids and rich in beautiful pearls, has now become a devastated city with streets full of parasites. However, this is far from the grand occasion at the beginning of the parasitic outbreak, because more parasites have left the city and brought the parasites to attack surrounding cities and towns.
The current infection spread is
When the parasites were collectively mumbling, in a dilapidated house far away from the street, several figures took the opportunity to quickly jump and fly between one house after another. Each of them looked like a parkour master, and it was obvious at first glance that they were very suitable for development in Harlan City.
"There are sixteen on Pearl Street, four on Salted Fish Alley, and twenty-three on Octopus Road. Tsk, a big one happened to come out tonight. Be careful not to get close to it."
These people carefully communicated the number and actions of the parasites through a conch-like voice-transmitting prop, and every step seemed to be very cautious.
Those who dare to go out to parkour late at night are the survivors of this city today.
They came out under the cover of night to look for supplies.
“Crack—”
However, someone accidentally knocked something over, and even the slightest movement attracted the attention of several wandering parasites.
The person who made the sound showed an annoyed expression, took a few deep breaths, gave everyone a look, and then decisively left the team and led away the parasites.
People felt sad as they watched him walking away, because they didn't know if he would ever come back.
One of the boys, whose face looked more immature than the others, showed even more sadness and looked like he was about to wipe away tears.
A big hand suddenly patted his back. When he turned around, he saw a middle-aged strong man. Although he spoke in a low voice, his tone was still quite stern.
"Vann, don't cry, you are the eldest son of the Hunter family!"
The young man named Fann paused, nodded quickly, and followed the pace of the main group.
It is called a large group, but in fact there are only seven people. Minus the one who just left alone, there are six left.
It is unknown how many survivors are left in the city. Those who are still alive at this point are definitely capable. Even Vann, who looks weak, comes from a well-known hunter family and has learned how to hunt wild beasts since he was a child.
Although there are not many wild animals for him to hunt in a coastal city like Savis.
Fann followed closely behind the crowd, trying not to look at the horrible parasites, and recalled the teachings of his dead father:
“The first thing a hunter must hunt is his own fear.”
No, father, I am born timid.
Because he has been timid since he was a child, today was the first time for him to follow others out to search for supplies. As for the reason, in addition to the fact that the supplies in the shelter were completely consumed, his sister was sick with a high fever, and the flu broke out in the shelter, so it was necessary to go out to find medicine.
Even though he was afraid of the monsters outside, he had to shoulder the responsibility of a brother and look for medicine to reduce the fever!
"Dr. Kale's clinic is just ahead. We haven't seen any trace of those monsters yet. Be careful."
When the leader brought the news, people's breathing suddenly became tense. After carefully observing the surroundings, they carefully landed on the ground that represented death and started to pry open the doors and windows.
Vann was nervously on guard around him, when he suddenly remembered the rumors circulating in the shelter.
It seems to be near this street. For a period of time, the parasites gathered on this street, as if something was attracting them. During that time, people took advantage of the time when the parasites were attracted to collect a lot of supplies.
Unfortunately, the parasites later lost interest in that thing and started wandering around the city again, and the situation of the survivors became difficult again.
"What on earth is attracting the monsters?"
"It's open, hurry up and get the medicine!"
There was no time for Vann to think deeply. He followed the others into the clinic and anxiously searched for supplies on the dusty medicine shelves. Then he showed a look of surprise. He found antipyretic drugs, and many other drugs!
This should be enough for them to hold on until the country's army comes to rescue them! At this point, the survivors have no other choice but to firmly believe that the country will come to rescue them.
"Now your sister can be cured," the same strong middle-aged man said. He looked at Fann with admiration, "What a brave brother you are."
Before Vann could even try to be modest, the burly man said, "Just take what you need. We still have to find food. Bringing too much will slow down our movement! Damn it, why do we Reds have such poor physiques?"
There was a grocery store not far from the clinic, but it wasn't certain the food would last that long, so they would have to try their luck.
People left the clinic one by one, with Vann walking at the end. He stuffed some more medicine into his arms, thinking that even if his sister couldn't use it, it might be useful to other survivors.
Today was so lucky and smooth. I can go home soon, right?
Just when a smile appeared on Fann's face, the middle-aged sturdy man suddenly stopped him from leaving the house.
He looked up and saw cold sweat on the other person's face, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart.
"Don't come out, Fann, before they see you." The strong man gritted his teeth and almost squeezed out this word from between his teeth.
"run!"
Vann didn't know what was happening on the street, but his instinct as a hunter's son made him run. He ran all the way to the second floor of the clinic and jumped through the window into another house. Only then did the noise from the street reach his ears.
The streets were filled with parasites without anyone noticing!
They are surrounded!
The most despairing thing is that the giant mutant that people had previously feared was also on the list. No, perhaps it could be said that this mutant attracted all the parasites.
Vann saw the survivor who had left the team at the beginning to attract the parasites. At this moment, the mutant's tentacles had pierced his brain. With a weird smile on his face, he slowly raised his hand and pointed at everyone.
There was an exploding sound in his head, and Fann's eyes widened. When did these parasites start to control people?
They had seen parasites retain some of their previous habits before, but this was the first time they saw a parasite retain some memories and even take the initiative to lead the way to catch people!
Is it because of that mutant?!
At this moment, the mutant's huge eyes moved and met Vann's gaze.
"Alas!"
He trembled all over and ran away. He was familiar with this city and it would only take a short time for him to run back to the shelter from here.
But a trace of hesitation appeared in his mind again. If the humans controlled by mutants can find them, then is it possible that they can find the shelter?
The sudden despair almost made him unable to breathe. Behind him came the shouting of middle-aged strong men. It did not sound like the screams of the dying, but rather like soldiers fighting hard!
Vann looked back, and the strong man happened to look over at this moment. In addition to hatred for the parasites, there was also encouragement for Vann in his eyes!
"Come at me!"
The sturdy man let out a loud shout, and the others also shouted, which immediately attracted the attention of all the parasites. Doing so would only make themselves die faster, but the purpose was self-evident.
They are hoping that Vann can return alive and bring the medicine back!
Fann didn't look back. His heart was filled with a sudden emotion. Maybe it was courage or something else. At least he had to take responsibility and bring the medicine back.
The voices of the survivors and the parasites gradually faded into the background. He kept running forward. He was getting closer. If he crossed a few blocks from here, he would be there.
“Bang!”
The roof beneath his feet suddenly collapsed and he fell into it!
Asshole, this is the church of the God of the Ocean! Believers have long been complaining that the roof of the church needs to be repaired, but those priests who only know how to make money won't do it!
Fann raised his head angrily, but the scene before him made him feel cold all over.
The huge church is filled with parasites!
The noise of him falling from the sky made these parasites stand up. They had to run, run now!
However, when he turned his head, he was grabbed by the shoulders, and the sharp tentacles sprayed onto his face along with a large amount of smelly liquid. Several blood marks appeared on his handsome face immediately, and the smelly liquid penetrated deeply into his face. It seemed that there was also a flash of twisting parasites.
Fann felt a chill in his heart.
However, thinking back to the efforts of the middle-aged sturdy man, a surge of strength suddenly surged in his body and he struggled to break free from the parasite that was holding him, and ran towards the depths of the church. Behind him were the parasites who were dancing wildly and rushing towards him like a tide.
There is still some time from infection to onset of the disease, at least he should take advantage of this time to send the medicine back!
But he couldn't run far. It felt like countless hands were pulling at every part of his body, including his hands, feet, waist and head. The crazy parasites were trying to tear him into pieces.
At this critical moment, Vann suddenly thought of the hunting knowledge his father taught him when he was a child.
"Humans are also beasts. I will teach you some techniques for hunting them."
His eyes suddenly changed. He pulled out the dagger from his waist and stabbed the parasites who were holding his legs several times. Each stab accurately cut their tendons. He then broke free from the restraints and continued to escape.
The life-and-death situation seemed to have stimulated his potential, and he seemed like a different person.
However, it is an indisputable fact that Reid's physique is weak.
Even if Vann suddenly exploded, he couldn't hold on for long. He was soon hugged from behind by the parasites and stumbled down into the basement of the church. His bones seemed to be broken. More and more parasites pounced on him, and despair was brewing here.
“Buzz——”
A sudden ray of light suddenly illuminated the dim basement. The treasures collected by the priests were piled here, dazzling.
But what was even more eye-catching than the treasures was a door.
The light rose from the door. The stone door, which was originally empty with only a door frame, was suddenly filled with some substance flowing like a vortex.
Fann seemed to have seen similar doors in books, but there was only one place where doors looked like this.
It's the portal to the dungeon!
The moment the portal lit up, the parasites seemed to be attracted by something and pounced towards the vortex.
And Vann, who was caught by them, was also pushed in!
“Ahhh—”
