Chapter 10: The Danger of Nesting

What happened in the warehouse made everyone feel that death was close at hand. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In order to reassure the people, Mr. Brown led the group to begin preparing defensive measures.

Under his command, everyone moved out the rice stored in the supermarket, as well as dog food.

The bags were heavy enough to weigh nearly 30 pounds each, and they were piled up on the glass mold wall in front of the supermarket to shape like a trench wall.

Donnie, Mike, and Brown distributed all the flashlights in the store, about twenty, to the crowd.

The light of the flashlight wanders around the corridors, like a ghost that can't see it.

The night is getting darker.

There were occasional slight cries in the supermarket,

Everyone's nerves were tortured for a day and reached their limits.

Mr. McVeigh had set up a gas grill under a vent, and before half-past six the supermarket was filled with the smell of roast chicken. Mr. Brown did not object.

Maybe it's because of the fright...... But it's more likely that he learns that his fresh meat will soon be out of freshness because the supermarket's generator hasn't been fixed and no one wants to go to the warehouse anymore.

Although the roast chicken is fragrant, not many people want to eat it.

Mr. McVeigh, who was thin and neat, was still roasted in a white uniform, and every two pieces were placed on a paper plate and lined up on the meat counter, like a buffet.

David served two plates of ready-made potato salad, and he ate as much as he could, but Billy refused to touch his roast chicken.

"You've got to get something to eat, Billy the Kid." Seeing that his son was not in the mood to eat, David's eyes lit up with concern.

"I'm not hungry, Daddy."

"If you don't eat, you won't grow taller — eat some."

Patting his son on the head, a doting expression appeared on David's face, no matter what, he would definitely protect Billy.

……

Time passed, and soon it was eight o'clock.

Six new guards were added to the observation hole, and Ollie walked over to where I was sitting.

He carried two nightlights and placed them beside him.

"Where's Billy?"

"In the back, with Mrs. Doman."

Ollie sat down as well, leaned on the bag of dog food, and took a sip of beer.

"How's it going, is there a situation?"

"The street lights are on outside." Through the glass, you can see a few spots of light in the thick fog.

"That's timed."

"If that's the case, there should be extra wires outside, right? Maybe we can pull a wire over and get some electricity for the supermarket. ”

At this time, the entire supermarket was in a situation of power outage, and the generator was obviously out of reach. Lighting is done by flashlights, portable night lights and emergency magnesium lights.

"That means getting out."

There was a moment of silence. Going out means that there is a high risk of death. No one can be that great.

Immediately, Ollie continued.

"By the way, the guards said that the basement door under the tool room was broken, and they wondered if something had sneaked in, should we go check it out?"

"Basement?" David was a little confused.

"Yes, a frozen storage room, where you can put some raw meat and ice, which is only 2 doors away from the supermarket. But no one dares to go now, so Brown asked me to ask if you have any ideas. There was a hint of worry in Ollie's eyes.

"Maybe we can check it out." David was a little worried about the safety of the supermarket, because his son was here, and he didn't want any monsters to invade inside.

However, at this moment, something seemed to fly in the distance, and suddenly slammed into the glass.

For a moment, the people around screamed sharply.

At this moment, there was a cockroach or locust lying on the glass that looked like it had been magnified hundreds of times, and four pairs of arthropods were clutching the glass, and their glowing abdomen was bulging. Even through the glass, it seems to exude the smell of dead corpses.

"Oh! No! …… Oh, God! What is this! ”

And in the other observation hole on the left, where Mr. Brown was pointing, David took the flashlight and leaned in to observe.

The insects attached to the glass are about two feet long, have links, and are slightly grayish-green in color, like rotten skin.

The bulbous eyes are attached to two short stems and look in two different directions at the same time. It is attached to the glass window with a fat suction cup.

On the other side of it, a piece of flesh protruded from it, looking like a stinger. There were huge wings on his back, like the wings of a fly, but they were extremely large and flapped slowly.

At this time there were three such monsters crawling on the window. They wriggled like slugs, leaving a sticky trail on the glass they crawled through.

Their eyes are restlessly swirling around at the ends of short, finger-thick stems.

The largest one was about four feet long. Sometimes they also climb on top of their companions.

"This ...... Are these things bugs? Brown's eyes were filled with consternation.

"I've never seen such a huge bug......"

There were more and more bugs on the glass, and everyone's hearts were filled with fear.

However, at this moment, Ollie, who was observing the bugs by the bedside, suddenly changed his face drastically.

"Oh! Oh, my God! Get out of the way! ”

I saw an albinism-like monster, hairless and white, with tough wings and red eyes, and it burst out of the fog in an instant, slamming into the glass so hard that the whole window vibrate.

It opened its mouth, ate the strange insect lying on the glass, and flew away.

It doesn't take more than five seconds. The red monsters trembled and trembled, and fell into the mouth of the white monster bird. It's like a small fish flapping and writhing and falling into the mouth of a seagull.

But bad things never end so quickly.

There was a bang on the window. More and more strange birds began to swarm and storm in order to prey on the insects lying on the glass.

People began screaming and scrambling to the back of the store.

A visible crack in the glass like a spider's web appeared, and a look of despair appeared in everyone's eyes.

One white flying monster after another swooped down and snatched the giant worms away.

"Be careful! Topmost! ”

But no one noticed in the confusion that the strange bird, which looked like it had albinism, had found the gap in the window pane and was squeezing into the room from there.

As some people had stopped screaming, I could hear the tiny grinding sound it was making. Its triangular head was slightly tilted to one side, and the red eyes on its head shimmered. A protruding and hooked mouth opened and closed greedily.

The strange bird looks a bit like a pterosaur picture in a dinosaur book, but more like a monster that has escaped from a madman's nightmare.

"Oh...... No! ”

……

There was chaos in the supermarket, people were falling, and people were trying to get the monsters out.

But in the refrigerated storage room, more than ten meters below their feet, there was an even larger creature crawling.

Six hours is neither long nor short, but in these six hours, Ye Kai's body has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The thick chitin shell on the outside of the scales has become even more hideous, and the outer edges of each scale have terrifying spikes like tridents sticking out.

A pair of wings have been completely shifted from the forelimb position to the shoulder blade position on both sides of the spine, and a pair of relatively small claws have grown on both sides of the originally empty chest!

You must know that the prominent feature of the pterosaur is that the forelimbs have evolved into two wings, and it is obvious that Ye Kai's genes at this time have mutated again.

His long and narrow head became more triangular, the eye sockets on both sides became very narrow, and two large spiked horns appeared on the top of his head.

The neck is completely covered in thick scales, and the flattened saber teeth that grow along the spine become more like the spikes of some kind of creature.

Slowly opened his eyes, and a pair of golden eyes suddenly appeared in the dark basement.

The vertical beast pupil exudes a strange golden light, and next to the vertical pupil, there are many charming patterns like nebulae.

"The evolution is complete, and this evolution has been very successful. Because you have absorbed a large amount of astral energy, this evolution has extracted the genetic tree of some otherworldly creatures, allowing your body to regain powerful forelimbs. Your statified abilities are as follows, with your strength increased by 8.2 times, your speed by 1.45 times, your defense by 3.23 times, and your weight by 2.12 times. ”

"...... this!?"

A hint of surprise appeared in Ye Kai's golden eyes.

Hand!?

He felt the presence of his hand again, and saw that he slowly stood up on his hind limbs and pinched the paws of his forelimbs.

Either way, he felt the sensation of standing on two feet again.

It's just that this kind of standing can't be maintained for too long, and there is no balance to speak of. Nothing other than to give him a taste of what it feels like to be a human standing.

Regardless, the reappearance of his forelimbs has improved his combat level a lot, and the huge scythe-like bars growing at the base of the phalanges of his foreclaws can make his attacks more violent.
