Chapter 1514: Chapter 1512: Harvest
Zzzzzz!
The violent grinding sound of the electric saw echoed through the entire warehouse district.
Sally, who was busy clearing zombies on the periter, suddenly froze as she caught a whiff of a scent that was both familiar and deeply frightening to her.
When her gaze shifted to the main battleground, the scene before her eyes evoked a deeply unpleasant mory.
Hisssss~ Breathing filtered through a steel mask, exhaling tendrils of blood-tinged air.
Han Dong was frantically hacking and slicing amidst a chaotic pile of bloated, decaying flesh, cutting through every inch of bone and at.
The emotion reflected in his eyes neither hinted at the joy of triumph nor showed any fear of the infinitely proliferating flesh. Instead, there was only an absolute madness that indulged in the raw sensation of wielding the electric saw, savoring the novel and adrenaline-fueled experience.
The swollen chunks of flesh being torn apart by the saw were subjected to a secondary treatnt by the Count.
These morsels, bitten and chewed down, turned into a minced pulp that splattered across the floor.
Laughter, the screeching roar of the saw, and the gnashing of canine teeth filled the entire warehouse.
Witnessing this grisly scene, Sally was reminded of the Elent Ga she had once participated in, where Green had stood atop a mountain of corpses, consud by a similar bloodthirsty fervor.
“A shared madness, perhaps?”
…
Of course, madness is madness, but Han Dong had not completely lost himself. He knew all too well what needed to be done to achieve the ultimate goal: to truly kill this special entity that surpassed the ga’s highest difficulty.
When the carnage reached a certain point, Han Dong slowly extended his left arm, which remained unused until now.
“Contact Weathering”
The minced flesh and gore, already chewed up by the Bloodhound, succumbed rapidly to the corrosive effect of weathering.
Han Dong gave the opponent no opportunity for genetic mutation or cellular recomposition. He had to complete the entire weathering process before the target could adapt to the G-virus.
“Quite the volu here… Although this is only the most basic level of ‘Contact Weathering,’ at my current rank, prolonged use will drain my body dry.”
As the weathering process progressed,
sweat continuously dripped from his forehead, and a sense of weakness began to overtake his entire body.
And it was at this very mont,
the tir suspended in the mall displayed [00:00]. The countdown hit zero, and the third Ladybug emblem surfaced, plunging the chaos into an even greater level of turmoil.
Aaaah!!! The howls of zombies echoed through the mall.
So zombies sprouted coarse hair on their bodies, their limbs morphing into terrifying claws.
Other zombies began to rge with one another, forming colossal zombie beasts.
Even the previously unique infected were undergoing deeper mutations. For instance, “Pus” now exhibited orderly rows of bile coagulates protruding from its back, resembling grenades.
The destructive power of each one was comparable to that of the earlier self-destruction attacks.
However, Han Dong paid no heed to the changing surroundings. His focus remained locked on his ultimate target.
With the increase in Ladybug count, the weathered at pulp began showing signs of self-recombination, seemingly adapting to the G-virus-induced genetic abnormalities.
“Die already!”
Han Dong, risking fainting from overexertion, forcibly increased the efficiency of the weathering process.
The horrifying head, which was just about to recombine, ultimately disintegrated into a pile of scattered sand… The long-awaited System notifications began rolling in:
『[Origin Zombie – Zahad] has been killed. Material rewards will be disclosed at the end of this ga.』
『Powerful killer, your performance has earned the attention of the “Ladybug Organization,” granting you absolute privileges for this ga.』
“Ladybug Organization? Absolute privileges?”
Drained from energy overuse and on the verge of passing out, Han Dong tried his best to stay conscious and quickly realized a major developnt.
The “Zombie Network” had beco fully accessible to him, or rather, its terminal had fully integrated with his brain.
What was previously a re radar for zombie positions could now provide Han Dong with detailed information… and even direct control!
“This… absolute privilege? This is way too cool!”
Han Dong’s gaze naturally fell upon the two remaining killers.
The pudgy Sam, who was hanging unconscious overhead, required no consideration.
Not far away, the knife-throwing Aze was struggling to evade both zombies and the Sales Clerk – Henry, who was relentlessly chasing him.
With the Ladybug count at [3], Henry had undergone a horrifying transformation into a muscular abomination. His tallic sinews were even capable of deflecting small-caliber bullets.
Suddenly, the swarm of zombies pursuing Aze ca to a complete halt.
“Hey, killer friend… how about we make a deal?”
When Aze turned toward the source of the voice, he witnessed a scene that would haunt him forever.
A grotesque zombie army, distorted and malford, surrounded an unassuming young man. From this horde, Aze could feel an overwhelming sense of genetic-level submission.
The young man stood among the zombies as naturally as if he were their king.
Even the unconscious fatty Sam had been fully restrained.
“What do you want? Strip us of all our points, items, and intel before killing us? Sorry to disappoint… Sam and I never expected to leave here alive.
Victory and defeat are life and death. Do as you wish.”
Han Dong waved his hand hurriedly, “Don’t misunderstand… I have no intention of killing you! I’m just really into chainsaws… Plus, without your help, I wouldn’t have achieved this level of victory.
The deal is simple: give 40% of your points, along with this chainsaw, in exchange for your lives. This seems like a fair trade, right?
I reckon the remaining points and items should be enough for you to regroup and continue surviving here.”
“And what if we don’t trust you not to kill us?”
“We can conduct the trade at the mall’s exit. Once it’s done, you’re free to leave. That’s as much as I can compromise. The choice is yours.”
“Fine…”
Han Dong collected 35 Ladybug Points and obtained the equipnt “Vicus’s at Grease Device (Blue – Fine).”
With a broad smile, he waved them off, alongside the entire mall’s zombies, who stood by to see them off.
Sally, confused, asked, “Nicholas, why didn’t you kill them to eliminate future threats? These two are quite capable.”
Han Dong flashed an unnatural grin:
“Precisely because they’re capable, I let them go.
With their skills, they’ll likely keep playing, earning more points and items. If they decide they want revenge, we can kill them then and claim justifiable defense.
Why waste two well-potential pigs for slaughter when our real threats are people like Pope or strongn like Aslan,
or the absolute geniuses from other Super Worlds?
Every decision we make here is crucial.”
“Oh~”
With the two killers exiting the ga, the scores were tallied:
Han Dong and Sally received: 『Scene Base[4]× Ladybug Count[3] Eliminated Teams[2×10]= 32 points』.
Both also received a reward nad “Killer Experience Value,” seemingly tied to a leveling system, with details to follow after leaving the ga.
『Please proceed to [Origin Zombie – Zahad]’s death site to claim this ga’s special reward, “Zombie Bloodline.”』
