Chapter 225: Encountering Astarte, a monster, but unable to defeat him despite all efforts
“Hoo…hiss…hoo…”
The heavy breathing sound coming from under the mask, the extremely oppressive body shape... and the string of English letters behind him - Astarte.
As Zhui Zhui's figure appeared in the warehouse, the three normal humans standing on the second floor widened their eyes at the same time.
"Astartes... is that the thing from the board game called Warhammer or something?"
"——? What is that?"
The young and energetic Ashley is obviously very interested in and researches these things, while Leon and Elliot seem a little behind the times in this regard.
They just vaguely remembered that Yang Ren seemed to have a friend...who seemed to suffer from gigantism and had been infected with the SARS virus?
The village chief Mendes on the opposite side looked at Zhui Zhui expressionlessly for a moment, then slowly bent down to pick up the top hat that had fallen on the ground and put it on again.
"Almighty God, give me the strength... to crush my enemies!"
After his mysterious words, nothing happened in the warehouse.
There was no change in Mendes, and Zhui Zhui stood still; Ashley did not explain to them what "Astartes" was, and she was concentrating on observing the movements below.
The situation seemed to suddenly come to a standstill.
Until a certain moment, Yang Ren frowned.
Swish—boom boom boom boom…!!!
Zhui Zhui on the field started at zero frame, pulled out two Ash-12 rifles from his waist at a speed that no one could see, and poured two full magazines of 40 rounds of bullets at Mendes!
The fire from the large-caliber muzzle brake was extremely dazzling; in the narrow space, the deafening sound of the gunfire was also infinitely amplified.
The fully automatic Ash-12 is difficult for even the most well-trained soldiers to control, so Zhui Zhui directly dual-wields it!
After the hail of bullets, Mendes' upper body was so damaged by trypophobia that he would faint at the mere sight of it.
His leather windbreaker was completely destroyed; the top hat was also hit and spun 7200 degrees in the air, and no one knew where it flew to.
Boom-!
His body stood stubbornly for a few seconds before he fell backwards and died with his eyes open.
"STARS~!"
But Zhui Zhui was not satisfied with this: after putting the two Ash-12s back on his waist, he easily picked up the oil barrel that was painted red and marked with a flammable material sign and threw it at Mendes' body in the field.
When the oil barrel flew right above Mendes, Yang Ren on the second floor immediately fired a shot at him.
Bang! Boom——!!!
The heat wave caused by the explosion made everyone in the house move away.
Leon protected Ashley reflexively; Yang Ren also considerately stood in front of Claire; only Zhui Zhui and Elliot did not avoid it.
Like a chick protected by an eagle, when Ashley raised her head, she only saw Leon's handsome face with a slightly frown.
"Oh...thank you..." she said shyly, yet inexplicably excited.
To this, Leon simply nodded in response.
When they turned around and looked at the field again, Mendes was gone.
"God! Thank you for your gift!"
"?!"
As the old smoker's voice came from the fire again, they realized that Mendes was not dead yet!
When it walked out of the fire curtain, its upper body was almost separated from its lower body.
The upper body seemed to have the spine stretched three or four times longer, and then many centipede-like limbs grew out on both sides; and two pairs of limbs that were the same length as its body, like a scorpion's tail and pincers, grew out of its back.
The lower body still looks normal, except that a small number of centipede legs have grown on both sides of the thighs, which looks very uncoordinated.
"So this guy is also a bug." Leon couldn't help but sigh.
But looking at the "big can" still standing motionless below...it seems that this one is a little more terrifying.
Yang Ren, who had anticipated this, sneered:
"Want to be ugly so much? Let me help you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhui Zhui below rushed forward as if he had received an order!
The distance was less than ten meters, and Zhui Zhui arrived in front of Mendes in just a moment; before the latter could react, he was grabbed by a scorpion's tail and thrown out like a meteor hammer.
boom! ! !
The already fragile lower body was thrown so hard that it was "disconnected" on the spot, smashing the wall of the warehouse and flying out.
The wooden house could not withstand the strong windmill force, and Zhui Zhui just threw Mendes' lower body away and then threw it back into the sea of fire.
“ROAROO ...
Mendes, who was in pain from the burns, was obviously very angry; he used his two scorpion claws to support his body and let out a ghostly scream, then hung on the beam using the two scorpion tails.
"Lord! Give me strength!"
"—You think you're the Scorpion King? Your 'master' gave up on you a long time ago, idiot!"
“Aaaaaaaaaah!!!”
Yang Ren's words really angered Mendes, and he grabbed two burning wooden boards and threw them at him.
However, the wooden spike, which seemed to be moving at an extremely fast speed, was easily caught by Zhuizhui who jumped up.
The burning flames had no effect on him at all. Instead, he used them as fire spears and threw them back at Mendes at a faster speed than when they came.
puff!puff!
Two wooden spikes hit one side of its scorpion tail, and it fell down immediately after losing its support.
Zhui Zhui seized the opportunity and leaped forward. Just as he was about to reach out and grab its bald head, he was forced away by its insidiously swung scorpion tail.
Using his nails that were as long as zombies to support himself, Mendes was already at the end of his strength.
Facing the dying "Scorpion King", Zhui Zhui tilted his head.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
The orange-yellow arc light representing the TG virus began to flash around his body, and a thick, deep and dark tentacle slowly emerged from Zhui Zhui's forearm armor.
Bang↘bang→bang↗bang↑bang?!
The five lightning whips struck Mendes at lightning speed, causing a large amount of electric sparks to fly and a large piece of his skin and flesh to be carbonized visibly.
Mendes swung his scorpion tail to fight back, but was blocked by a pale yellow barrier that appeared out of nowhere around Zhui Zhui. Those parts that touched the barrier turned to ashes in an instant.
Seeing that it had no means of fighting back, Zhui Zhui retracted his tentacles, walked forward and grabbed its head.
As Mendes' pupils shrank, Zhui Zhui dug his nails into the back of its head near the spine and gradually exerted force.
"Master Sadler!!!"
“—STAAAAAA.RS!!!”
Pfft——!
Village chief Mendes, dead.
Age, 23 chapters.
Such a bloody scene was certainly not suitable for Ashley to watch, so she closed her eyes consciously.
After the bodies were separated, the prosthetic eye that Mendes had installed on his left eye for some unknown reason fell down. Zhui Zhui caught it steadily and threw it to Yang Ren on the second floor.
He threw the useless heads and corpses into the sea of fire and cremated them on the spot.
Then, in the shocked gazes of Leon and others, Zhui Zhui came to a window without fire.
Bang!
With one kick, the windows, frames and wooden walls were all smashed to pieces.
The fire in the warehouse was basically on the side where the oil barrel exploded, and the side where Leon and the others were was absolutely safe.
Yang Ren and Claire jumped down to the first floor first. Elliot, Ashley and Leon looked at each other and chose to jump down as well.
I went outside through the hole kicked by Zhuizhui. Without the thick smoke from the burning wood, the air outside was so fresh.
When he came in front of Zhui Zhui, Leon just stood there and looked at him for a long time.
No one spoke. The only sounds on the field were the crackling of burning wooden boards and Zhui Zhui's heavy breathing.
"Uh... don't you want to say something?" After an unknown amount of time, Ashley, unable to contain herself any longer, tried to break the silence.
Lyon remained unmoved and just turned his gaze towards Yang Ren:
"So, he is BOW?"
