Chapter 236 – Eating the Land (9)
During the day, he worked hard to catch zombies to his destination, and at night, he was guided by her wives without being detected, and continued to move like that for four days.
But progress was much slower than expected.
This was because the further inside you went, the stronger the zombies became.
At first, the zombies were just like their bodies distorted or slightly enlarged from their original appearance, but as they started to go inside to a certain extent, they were not just deformed, but had a few more limbs or their internal organs were heavily contaminated with radiation. Zombies that had even mutated came out with blood gushing out.
Not only did they look more terrible, but they also became stronger. At this point, at the level of the Silver Wolves, which are mostly C-class hunters, it took three or four people to fight one at a time, and they were called the Queen’s Knights. As much as they received, the Wearhoneybees, made up of elites, reached a level where two people had to fight one to catch them.
I’m still holding on to Aileana 6974 just fine, but not only are the zombies getting stronger, but the number of them popping out is also increasing, so it’s difficult to move forward like I did the first time.
I’m only halfway there, but it’s still like this… I thought it would be a bit difficult to get all the way inside.
So, I asked if it would be better for us to help, and everyone, including Lilith, said it was okay so far.
Perhaps as the wives said, the Silver Wolves did not say anything even though the wives, who were known to be A-rank hunters nominally hired by me, stayed silent while riding in Sing Singi No. 2, unlike themselves, who worked hard every day.
No, it’s not that it’s nothing to say, but the power of cooking was so great that it was Hoaran and Karura who came to be regarded as sisters or older sisters among the Silver Wolves.
Even Aileya was now unable to move from those two.
Thanks to the artifacts given to Hoaran and Karura, as well as Justitia and Aileya, the camping environment became much more comfortable. Although not as much as Hoaran or Karura, who provided delicious meals every day, everyone in the Silver Wolves seemed to like them.
Since their bodies are so poisonous that even if they are purified with a purification unit, the case of Carmina, which heals wounds that do not regenerate due to poison seeping directly into the wound, was right behind them.
Anyway, the change that occurred after four days was not simply that the zombies had become more terrifying and stronger, so it took a long time to advance.
As time has passed, there have been advantages on this side as well.
“Die! “You bastards!”
“I need to eat…! “Dude!”
“Bees! “Please finish this here!”
The silver wolves, who go berserk when it’s time to eat, throw away their usual weapons and catch and tear down zombies with their arms, or join forces with the silver wolves to shoot poisonous needles in the air or stab spears while descending. Because I saw Werehoney Bees who were used to supporting and fighting together in a certain way.
By the way, the way werewolves fight is really tough.
Even though there were Hoaran’s special purifiers that made it completely impervious to the poison sprayed by zombies, and the innate regenerative ability and superpowers that made it easy to even deal with minor wounds, it didn’t seem easy to do that.
Perhaps it’s because she has Carmina behind her, who quickly heals wounds that cannot be properly healed even with her regenerative abilities.
Even taking that into account, I could see why werewolves were said to be one of the natural warrior races, as they rushed forward without any care even if their limbs were dented by the zombies’ teeth or nails.
Anyway, it was when I wondered if I would be camping around here again today.
“Ugh, this way… I noticed it.”
“Huh? What?”
Justitia, who spent most of her time just taking out the necessary artifacts and sleeping, suddenly said that, so I asked her something, and she yawned and answered.
“Yeah, you’ll find out soon…”
Before I even asked her what she was going to learn, just as Justitia said, she knew it really quickly.
Thud…!
Boom, boom, boom, boom, coo…!
I thought the roar I heard from far away was getting closer and closer, and then I saw it.
“What is that again…?”
I’ve seen all kinds of shitty things in my life, but this guy looked completely different from the shitty ones I’d seen before.
It was twisted, contorted, and huge, almost expressing its bullshit with its whole body… It had a terrible appearance that could be called the embodiment of bullshit.
If the zombies I’ve seen so far were nothing more than transformations or things that went through a mutation that made them look a little more like they had more limbs, then there were dozens or hundreds of such zombies gathered together, mixed and tangled together, looking like they were stuck together in a haphazard manner. Just because.
It was disgusting to see things like internal organs protruding from the body of that guy, moving its huge body with a thud and moving towards me in an unknown shape, whether it was running or crawling, and even spraying a lot of blood around it.
“Is that a zombie too?”
I was wondering how the fuck that thing could be a zombie, but Justitia told me that.
“Hecatoncheir… That’s what they call it. As few as a hundred… As many as a thousand, mixed and combined entities. Is it magic or witchcraft that was spread here… Or science… Or all three… I don’t know which is the cause, but the deeper you go, the more zombies there are. Radioactive pollution is also pollution, but in fact, one of the reasons why the world government cannot clean up this place is because of them. The good news is that they can’t come out to places with low levels of contamination, so isolating them doesn’t take much effort?”
Come to think of it, I think I’ve heard that name before.
The world government also said that there were kids like this inside, so if you ran into them, they were the ones who told you not to enter anymore.
It certainly seemed like something worthy of warning.
Judging by its size, it looks like a mixture of not a hundred, but a thousand of the latter.
Several arms or legs were sprouting from various parts of the body, and all of them were combined to form huge arms, and the number of pus-oozing eyeballs on each arm seemed to be well over a hundred zombies combined.
That kind of thing moves its massive body and rushes at various ruined buildings, no matter how neglected and deteriorated they are, using its body to tear them down. I don’t know how many of these things there are inside, but it will definitely be difficult to catch them all. It was the same.
If it wasn’t a contaminated area and you couldn’t get over it anyway, I could understand why they decided that it would be better to just leave it alone without touching it.
“Kuuuuu!!”
And then, as if it sensed that we were looking at it, it started roaring.
Your voice is also shit.
You wouldn’t know it if you just roared, but the blood pouring out from the mouth that opened due to the roar, and the maggot-like things sticking out from inside it were so dirty.
It was even more disgusting because the maggots pouring out of the mouth of this guy, who was so big and loud, were almost as big as a human head.
Anyway, the Silver Wolves seemed to be in a state of panic at the appearance of Hekaton or something.
“Fuck… If I wanted to catch that, I guess I wouldn’t have liked to eat the food that Hwaran and Kyaru made today, right, Eileya?”
“Stop telling me to eat and go to work, you bastard!”
Well, two…
Only the werewolf called Ivan, who had been fighting with Aileya every day and was beaten by Aileya, was fine.
Unlike the other werewolves who curled their tails and curled their tails, I saw the two slowly inflating their bodies and starting to transform into werewolves with pure white fur. I saw that those two were not using weapons like they normally do when catching zombies, but were just using the best weapons that werewolves had from the beginning. It seemed like he thought it would be better to use the body itself, a strong weapon.
Anyway, while looking towards the werewolf, I turned my head and saw the werehoneybees, including number 6974.
“Knights. Everyone, ready for battle.”
Yeah, there didn’t seem to be any concerns over there.
It seemed as if it had no fear at all, and I saw it holding the spear and starting to fly as usual.
When I think about it, the Werehoney Bees… When Lilith and Hoaran attacked the bee kingdom thinking I was kidnapped, they were the ones who kept charging at them even though they all ran away.
Unlike the werewolves, who gradually came to their senses and started using sign language after hearing something from Aileya or Ivan, they didn’t seem to have any worries about Moralbang.
Is that also a characteristic of insect-type werebeasts that value groups and colonies rather than individuals?
The problem wasn’t really there though.
“Can I just leave that alone?”
“Uh, well… As for the werewolf, I think those two will be fine, but the rest might get a little hurt…? Werehoneybees can fly, so there shouldn’t be any problem. That entity doesn’t seem to have any means of attacking the werehoneybee flying in the sky. The only thing dangerous is vomiting blood… But since there is a purification department, that won’t help either.”
It’s dangerous for a werewolf to be beaten directly by those many arms.
But it looked that way to me too.
It looked like shit, and it even looked like shit.
As for the visuals, it’s much more terrifying than the Gigantes and all that I beat up before.
Still, I thought he would do something because he had wives anyway, but Lilith said.
“Hanzo. “Try to grab that one.”
“…Yes?”
Me?
“Suddenly?”
“It’s just what it looks like, you can handle that much, so don’t worry. “If anything happens, we’ll help you out, so give it a try.”
No…
I wasn’t particularly worried about that, but something was strange.
First of all, I am an employer…
The wives, who are A-rank hunters that I hired, stay still, and if I actually move, doesn’t something seem a little strange…?
However…
“If you grab it, I’ll give you whatever you want.”
“Good. Goes.”
Hearing Lilith’s next words, I quickly stood up.
It’s worth a try if you have the wish ticket that Lilith gives you that grants anything.
“Sister Aileya, I will help you too.”
“What…? Hanzo you? “What about those people?”
I was wondering what I should answer to Aileya’s obvious question, but I just gave it a rough answer.
“Don’t worry, I received a buff.”
Later, I decided to receive a wish ticket from Lilith that would allow me to do anything, so it was a buff.
Well, I decided to put off worrying about how to use the wish ticket and whether I could be praised for using it well until later.
“Bur… What?”
Aileya tilted her head as if puzzled by my words, but there was no time for that.
“Kuuuuu!”
Boom, boom, boom…!
Because he was rushing towards us.
So, I ran to this side as well.
“What…?! Hanzo…! Hey! Stop…! “You want me to stop?!”
When Aile saw me running away, she got scared and chased after me.
However, before Aileya could even grab me, I felt the gift manifested along with my cock starting to become erect just by thinking about what I would ask Lilith after it was over.
And, ‘Heavenly Armor’ and ‘Dragon Claws’ began to surround my body.
“What…”
Instead of trying to catch me, I left Aileya, who had a blank expression on her face when she saw me wearing the armor of the Heavenly Tiger, and decided to give a big blow first.
Kiiiiing…!
Five poisonous needles shoot out from the ‘dragon’s claws.’
As they spun around, they started to get bigger and bigger.
And, compared to the stings of the ‘really big bee punch’ that I pulled out while wearing the divinity I received from Ammut, it was less than half of the stings, but for now, I have grown the stingers to the maximum that I can pull out. , I sent it straight to Heka.
Phew!
This guy catches the poisonous needles shot out from the ‘Dragon Claw’ with his body without even thinking about dodging them, perhaps because his head looks bad.
I looked at the guy who said, “Puwaaaaah”, And the poisonous needles cut through the fleshy body and made five big holes where I was aiming.
“No… What is this…?”
Belatedly, I saw Aileya, who had been following me, and her eyes widened when she saw the guy I had given so many holes to.
“Well, anyway. “Please help me hit that, sister.”
“Uh…? Uh… Yes!”
Aileya, who nodded at my words, rushed at the guy who knocked down his huge body with legs full of holes.
