Chapter 188 – The Monster’s Purpose (2)

Hajin, who avoided the monster’s attack by pulling his back slightly, stretched out his left hand and grabbed the monster’s legs that passed in front of him, and then pressed him down and lifted him up.

Kwajik!!!

A monster that is hit by Ha-jin’s fist and pinned to the floor from a momentarily reversed height.

Coo!!!
Took-

As he landed in the rising dust, Ha Jin’s right foot touched the monster’s back, and he twisted the leg he was holding in his left hand and pulled it with all his might.

Wooddeuk!!
Chow!!

“Keeeee!!!!!”

Along with the legs of the monster pulled out, green blood mixed with C-class venom was splattered, and Ha-jin, who had trampled the screaming monster’s head with his left foot and burst it, grabbed the leg he was holding in his left hand straight ahead. Threw

Pooh!!!
Deed Dede Deuk!!!!

The monster that ran toward Ha-jin slipped on the floor as his head was pierced without being able to avoid the flying legs of his fellow countryman. Started running.

“Keeeee!!!”
“Keeeee!!!”
“Kikki!!”
“These fucking bastards..!!! Are you going to jump?! Are you talking?!”

Ha-jin, who was running toward the shelter, turned to them and shouted, and the monsters that were screaming and flocking toward Ha-jin retreated all at once and spread the distance again.
The same behavior of the monsters over and over again.
And a loud buzzing walkie talkie.

-It’s the southern guard post! 37 hunters! 23 returnees! Unable to confirm the fate of non-returned personnel!!
-The same goes for the western post! Unable to confirm the fate of 17 non-returners!! The leader is currently being searched for!
– Report from the northern guard post! 53 people hunting! 42 returnees!
-Hey, I’m a guard at the eastern post! We have now left the post due to the transfer of the injured! Kang Ha-jin is fighting monsters in front of the eastern guard post!
– This is the control room. I hope to see the number of hunters.
-Four, 34 hunting personnel! And vice-captain Ahn Tae-jin and four guards! Five of the commandos also exited the shelter at 11:21 am using the east exit!
-Notified again from the control room. Return personnel and all personnel within the shelter are to immediately move to the headquarters building. The sentry guards should also return.

As soon as the radio communication between the guards at each post and the control room ended, Kim Ji-hoon’s voice came through the radio this time.

-Notify the control room. Currently searching inside the shelter with Head. There seems to be monsters invading the shelter, so be careful when moving.
-Hey! I’m with you too! Why is my name… Jihoon-ah left!!
-Keeeee!!!!

With the momentary interruption of the radio, about 10 seconds later, the radio continued again.

– This is the control room. Is it possible to report the situation?
-This is Kwon Joo-hyuk! Fighting at 7 o’clock in the headquarters building, halfway between the west and south entrances!
-Are you in need of support?
-Ah-oh!! Support done! Don’t just radio because you’re busy!!
-Check. Minseo and Juha, are you listening to the radio right now?
-This is Minseo. Currently, I’m on my way to the northern hunting team and headquarters building with Juha. Jackson had just departed for the southern outpost.
-All right. Then could one of you go to the infirmary? I’ve sent my guards, but if the monsters have infiltrated the shelter, they’ll need help.
-Juha and Camilla will go.
-Thank you.
-But there’s something strange about these monsters. Clearly something has changed. It feels like they didn’t intend to kill us… Everyone run fast!! Monsters are coming over the barrier!

Minseo’s radio cut off at the end of an urgent voice.
Not only in the control room, but also to everyone holding a walkie-talkie, the moment Ha-jin tried to turn back to Min-seo’s urgent voice, No. 5 flew through the air with an arrow stuck in the steel barrier and screamed.

“Your majesty!!!! The purpose of the monsters is to capture people!!”
“Are you taking people?”
“I jump! Please accept this!! Kyaaaaa!!!”
“That crazy..!”

5, who let go of the carabiner slipping on the rope tied to the end of the arrow stuck in the barrier, fell down, and Ha-jin, with her head raised, approached the screaming monsters in an instant and lowered her stance as if she were sitting on the floor. He swung his outstretched right leg in a circle.

Poof!!!
Tutu tuk-

Monsters that were swept away at once and whose tilted bodies floated into the air.
And Ha-jin, who jumped up and put a knee on the face of one of them, jumped up with a spur of the floor as soon as his two feet floating low touched the floor.

“Your majesty!!!”
“Keeeee!!!”
“You go away.”
“… “

Puffy!!!

Holding two arrows from the quiver on his back in both hands, No. 5 uses the sharp arrowheads to pierce the face of the monster that is rising toward him as it falls, and after confirming that the monster is dead, No. 5 screams again.

“Kyaaak!! Scary!!”
“I don’t think it’s scary…”

Snap-

“Hehe~ I lived~”
“… Go back.”
“Yes!”

No. 5, who hugged his head from the front and covered all his vision, quickly jumped back as if riding a wooden horse at Ha-jin’s words and grabbed his hair as he settled down. I hit the head of one of the climbing monsters with my right foot and got out of the dangerous space.

Tadat-

As soon as Ha-jin landed safely on the floor, the monsters that were frantically jumping to attack Ha-jin in the air stopped moving as if they had never done that.

“What are those bastards really up to?! But what do you mean by that again? The purpose is to catch him.”
“The vice-captain told me so. And this map too.”
“You have the map for now. But what about Ahn Tae-jin and the rest?”
“I don’t know. They said they would follow soon, but only those guys followed.”
“Those guys?”
“Sir, fuck!!! Collide!!!!”
“Miss Hajin!! Accept us too!!!!”

The two guards let go of their carabiners, believing that Ha-jin would accept them just as he had saved No. 5.

“What, what are you doing!!!”
“Please accept it!!!”
“Why me?”
“Aaaaa!!!”
“Save the people!!!!”

Unlike when No. 5 fell, Ha-jin, who did not move, immediately checked the location of the two guards falling from above his head, and then pushed the corpses of the monsters scattered on the floor with his feet to split them into two halves.

Remembrance!!!
Remembrance!!!

With a crackling sound, the two guards fell right onto the corpse of the monster that Ha-jin divided into two sides.
Most of its parts are made of a hard shell like hard armor, but the belly was made of very soft and soft leather, so it served as a very good cushioning material.
Of course, I couldn’t absorb all the shock.

“Cheuk!!”
“Ugh..!! Please accept…! Ji..!!”
“I don’t have a hobby of hugging a man.”
-Here is the leader. End the search as of the current time and wipe out the monsters that have invaded the shelter. Jackson, if you’re listening, come back right away.
-You have already joined Minseo, leader.
– Whoa… My head and I will go to help Minseo noona. And Joo Hyuk hyung will be sent to the infirmary.

Jackson, who immediately turned to Minseo’s radio, had already joined the northern hunting team to deal with the monsters, and Kim Hyun-joon, who arrived soon after, also began to quickly clean up the monsters that had invaded the shelter using the power of the wild, whose cooldown had returned. .
Then, a loud scream resounded from somewhere.

“Keeeee!”)
“Kreurreureu..!!”
“Keye..!!”

The creeping monsters.
The loud scream was probably the signal for the monsters to retreat, and the monsters that were confronting Hajin as well as the monsters that had invaded the shelter began to leave the shelter all at once.

“Your Majesty, are they running away? Shouldn’t I be chasing you?”
“First, check the damage. The two of you bring that monster with you.”
“… Are we going…?”
“How… “
“You know how to do that.”
“Kikki!! Kihehe!!!”

The two guards swallowed dry saliva while looking at the monster Ha-jin had caught for the sample.

***

Five people huddled together in a dark space.
He didn’t move as if he was dead, but his snout was busy moving.

(Why did this man suddenly become so brave..?!)
(That’s right! You’re a coward!)
(Just go back! Please!)
(Joe, quiet! Coming in again!)
(…)

No. 2, 3, and 4, who appealed as strongly as possible with their voices as low as possible, closed their mouths at No. 1’s words, and Ahn Tae-jin, who had been silent, also twinkled her eyes.

“Ugh..!”
“Ugh..!”
“Hey, what else is this place..!”
“Kyaaak!! I-what is all that?!”
“Please be quiet… “
“Keeeee..!!!”

People silenced by the warnings of a monster that raised its face and growled lowly, as if telling them to be quiet.
But in their hearts they were screaming in horror.
The stinging smell of blood and the foul stench of countless corpses already decomposing in the hot weather.
But what shocked people the most was one monster.

“Kurrrr..!!!”

Took- Took-
Chii profit!!!

The monster, which looked at least 1.5 times taller than the other monsters, which was 2 to 3 meters tall, had skin dripping as if it had been covered with hydrochloric acid, and the skin that fell to the floor was covered with skin and flesh, as if hydrochloric acid had fallen on it. It melted the marble floor and produced white smoke.

‘What the hell is it..? What’s going on?!’

Instead of going back to the shelter, Ahn Tae-jin, who took the risk and infiltrated the monsters’ stronghold with the elementary school special forces, was watching all the changes that were happening.
The deep-wounded monster ate the people the other monsters had caught and healed, and even the two legs that had been cut straight pushed the old ones out and sprouted from the back as if new teeth were sprouting.
This is a situation that can be accepted while understanding that it is the recovery process of normal monsters.
However, the monster, which had grown in size while eating people, at some point began to melt its skin without growing any further.

Tuwook-
Chii profit!!
Took- Took-
Chii profit!!!

The body of a monster that is getting smaller and smaller with skin that melts quickly like ice cream you’re holding at an amusement park on a midsummer day.

“Oh, no..! No!!!!!”
“Great..!!”

Snap!

Unlike the sound he had been making, the monster’s hand grabbed the screaming man’s neck with a sound that sounded a bit more human, like a zombie.

(Cow, hand..!)
(I got toes!)
(It’s a finger!)
(Isn’t that a foot?)
(Please be quiet..!)

Ahn Tae-jin, who calmed down the elementary school special forces, who had different opinions on whether it was hands or feet, checked the monster through a very small hole drilled in the ceiling where it was hiding.

‘Fuck… I’m sure it’s gotten smaller, but what is this feeling…?’

When I first saw the wounded monster and watched it grow in size, I thought it was simply scary.
In general, monsters become stronger as they grow in size.
But at some point, as the skin melted and the size and shape of the body began to completely change, it seemed that I was simply suffocating, not just scared.
An extreme sense of fear that makes you urinate just by hiding and watching.

Oh oh oh-

Instead of opening up and down, the monster’s mouth opened in four directions as if it had been cut vertically.
The monster’s mouth, which looked as if numerous teeth had sprouted from the blooming flower petals, opened wider than the smaller monster’s head, crushing and chewing the head of the man holding his neck at once. Even his heart, stained red with blood, was swallowed in one bite.
A monster that has changed from a monster that chewed and swallowed people without leaving a single bone fragment to a monster that ate only the head and heart.
The appearance of the monster, which had been chewing on the heart and head of a living human for a long time, had changed into a body very similar to that of a human.
A body covered in shiny black skin, like a black knight.
A body that stands upright on two legs as if walking perfectly upright.
However, except for the face, the difference from humans was that the hands and feet had three thick fingers and toes, a tail with sharp needles, and two bones protruding from the wing bones.

‘That was it… Why did the monsters bring all the people to that monster without killing them… The monsters themselves were creating stronger monsters!!’

Ahn Tae-jin’s eyes were engulfed in shock.
And the low voice of the monster that flows out.

“Big uh… “

The monster let out a big sigh, examined his transformed body, and drove the sharp claws sprouting from his fingertips into his left chest.

Pooh!!!

“Great..!!!!”

Unlike before, the voice became more ferocious and the facial expression distorted.
Then, without hesitation, she pulled the nails driven into his chest obliquely, creating long and deep scars on her body.
As if reenacting the wound he had been cut by Hajin.
