Mutation

As they approached the summit, the protagonist David, said with a hint of worry:

"Mr. Nicholas, it seems there is an invading army stationed on the mountaintop."

If they're still alive, they might be able to get a military helicopter to take us directly out of the fog area.

"It's highly unlikely... for a simple reason. If the troops stationed on the mountaintop are still alive, they would come to the town to search for them."

Moreover, a 'search and rescue' operation has already been conducted once, namely the previous "Octopus Soldier" incident.

The reason I had everyone take the mountain path was simply because we needed to cross this mountain and head inland... Fortunately, if the troops stationed here still have weapons and equipment left behind, we can be fully armed and have the basic ability to fight the monsters.

If you encounter ' Octopus Soldier ' again along the way, try to kill them and steal their military equipment.

"Um."

There's nothing wrong with Han Dong's explanation.

Moreover, the equipment left behind by the army is definitely hundreds of times better than the four small pistols that the townspeople are currently holding.

If they could really loot the armory and arm the entire vehicle, everyone on board would have Trump Card to fight the monsters.

When there were approximately 300 meters remaining to the summit area...

Suddenly, the school bus came to a stop.

It was all because a soldier in camouflage stopped the school bus.

"Soldier, we are residents of the Rhine Town and hope the military can provide us with shelter..." The experienced driver, Daniel, tried to have a friendly conversation with the soldier outside the window.

"Let me get in the car for a basic check. If there are no problems, I'll take you up the mountain."

"Good!"

Daniel immediately opened the car door and let the soldiers get in.

However, the soldier wearing a breathing mask had just stepped onto the school bus.

Whoosh!

A homemade steel arrow pierced the soldier's wrist precisely, detaching his hands from his weapon.

The soldiers were not allowed to react.

The protagonist David, raised the axe he had been gripping tightly and delivered a powerful horizontal chop to the head...

Han Dong watched this scene silently and muttered to himself:

"As expected, with the overall difficulty increasing, these townspeople were also strengthened."

His combat skills have improved across the board, allowing him to decapitate enemies with a single axe strike—a feat befitting Execution Process ... however, it's still insufficient to deal with true monsters.

Tread!

The soldier's head was severed, but his body did not fall.

Crunch crunch...

A tentacle with a spherical tip, resembling an 'antenna' structure, rapidly grew from the wound on its neck, intending to spread the sudden emergency.

At a critical moment.

Han Dong stepped forward and suddenly plunged the gasoline bottle he had prepared into the man's neck!

It forcefully shoved the newly grown tentacles back into its body, while simultaneously igniting the gasoline...

At the same time, he kicked the burning Octopus Soldier off the school bus.

In the past, this would have been the end of it; the flames would have burned the soldiers to ashes. But now the difficulty has increased. The soldiers are still alive under the flames, aiming their automatic rifles at Han Dong.

Suddenly... whoosh!

A pink tentacle attacked from the back of the school bus, instantly wrapping around the soldier's body and crushing him alive through the pressure of the tentacle.

Immediately, the pink tentacles retracted to Nicole in the back seat.

Thank you.

Actually, even if Nicole hadn't made a move...

The Duoze Crow were already circling around the soldiers, ready to pierce their core with their sharp beaks at any moment.

"They can't beheading or burned alive... how are we supposed to fight them?!"

For a moment, the townspeople's resolve wavered.

Just then.

Han Dong extinguished the flames, took off the bulletproof vest and some equipment that had not been burned, as well as a brand-new automatic rifle, and handed them to the protagonist David.

"If we take down one of the aliens, one of us will be fully armed."

In the subsequent battles, you just need to keep firing from a distance and hold off these alien soldiers.

Nicole and I will deal with the parasitized soldiers at close range.

If we run away now, we'll have no equipment to fight the monsters in the mist, and we'll be doomed if we encounter any danger.

Having acquired a set of excellent equipment, David's confidence grew, and he immediately echoed Han Dong's sentiments.

"Yes! Maybe we can find grenades, rocket launchers or some high-tech equipment in the armory... If we can arm ourselves, our chances of escaping the fog will be much greater."

Seeing this, Han Dong smiled secretly and returned to his seat to sit with Nicole.

The school bus stopped in the woods by the roadside 200 meters from the top of the mountain.

The remaining distance was covered on foot to improve concealment.

"This is... a military camp?"

As you approach the summit, a dark steel wall blocks your way, reaching a height of 20 meters.

It was completely different from the military camps I had in mind; it was more like some kind of special armed organization.

"Everyone, please replenish your fluids and energy. We may need to stay inside for a while."

Han Dong handed two buckets of spring water and high-energy food that he had prepared in advance from the supermarket to the townspeople.

Nicole stared at the two buckets of water, vaguely sensing that some strange substance had been injected into the spring water...

Of course, all of this was orchestrated by Han Dong behind the scenes; Nicole simply watched silently without saying a word.

Glug glug!

People relieved their stress by drinking water and did not suspect that there was anything wrong with the spring water.

"Nicole, let's go..."

While everyone was replenishing their energy and water, Han Dong led Nicole and quietly slipped back into the woods... keeping a distance of more than 100 meters from the townspeople.

A short while later.

The townspeople, who were eating, were captured by surveillance cameras installed inside the high black walls.

More than thirty fully armed soldiers appeared on top of the high wall.

"Wha... what's going on!?"

For a moment, the townspeople were in chaos, completely unsure of how to respond.

But they simply didn't have time to deal with it.

The moment the soldiers appeared, the bullets had already been fired!

With thirty automatic rifles firing simultaneously and accurately, the townspeople standing in the open area were nothing short of sitting ducks.

The bullets pierced the vital organs of everyone, and the forest vegetation was completely stained red.

but...

A hundred meters away, Han Dong, hiding in the woods, silently watched all of this, even revealing a satisfied smile... because he had not received any system notifications about the deaths of any important figures.

About three minutes passed.

Bullets that were fired into the townspeople were forced out of their wounds by the Mad Proliferation tissue.

The townspeople's bodies began to experience various unpredictable changes.

Giant sarcoma,

Eye tissue,

Claws or spikes

All of them underwent crazy mutations under the inducement of the G-Virus... The mountain spring water that Han Dong and Nicole brought back had already been injected with the G Virus Stock Solution.

Among them, the protagonist David's mutation is still within the 'controllable range', and he continues to serve as the leader of the townspeople... The Protagonist Halo is playing a powerful role.

Next up will be a head-on clash between Resident Evil and The Mist.

The second phase - The Order operation has begun.
