Chapter 1074: Chapter 45: Demon Fetus_2
"Can’t we just not fight anymore?" the black man said, his face alight with joy. He sang a bit of rap to express his feelings, but Trojan quickly dashed his hopes.
The pregnant woman on the ground suddenly groaned, drawing everyone’s attention. Then, with a pop, like a water bag being crushed underfoot, her belly burst open. The fetus, its vocal cords not fully developed, emitted a piercing cry before crawling out from its mother’s stomach, soaked in blood.
Aihara Chiharu and the blonde girl couldn’t help themselves and bent over to vomit. The fetus opened its eyes with the umbilical cord still attached to its stomach; after scanning the surroundings, it crawled toward the black man, the closest person to it.
The black man startled and stumbled back a few steps before he picked up a rifle and fired single shots at the fetus.
Bullets scattered on the road surface, two of them even piercing the body of the fetus. However, it didn’t die, and the cries became even more pitiful.
"Attack it quickly, kill it!" The black man’s head dripped with sweat, and he had no mind for rapping anymore.
Two soldiers raised their rifles and fired single shots at the fetus. Their marksmanship was clearly more accurate than the black man’s, as most of the bullets hit the fetus. But it began to retaliate. After a scream, the fetus suddenly accelerated and lunged, then leaped toward the black man.
"Fuck, die!" cursed the black man, and he fired too quickly, emptying his ammo clip. As the fetus swooped down like a hawk, about to latch onto his face, he turned and ran in terror.
Bang, bang, Tang Zheng wielded a shotgun and attacked, the powerful recoil knocking the fetus out of mid-air. Although it endured more than a dozen shots, its body was unaffected; it lunged again. This time, its stomach suddenly swelled and then spat out a mass of milky white viscous fluid, with a foul stench beginning to spread.
The black man’s left leg came into contact with the viscous fluid and was immediately corroded, causing him to scream in pain.
"Tang Zheng!" Aihara Chiharu went to look for Tang Zheng.
"Aihara-chan, hide! I’ll protect you," Aoki Hiroshi said as he watched Tang Zheng’s retreating figure, a ruthless gleam in his eyes. He held onto Aihara Chiharu, intending to shoot the female corpse on the ground and blow up the umbilical cord. But observing the fetus chasing the black man, he abandoned that plan, worried his own attack might provoke retaliation.
"Wait a bit longer." Aoki Hiroshi wasn’t foolish; he led Aihara Chiharu toward Tang Zheng, knowing it was definitely safe around him.
The blood-soaked fetus, utterly hairless and somewhat nauseating, screamed and finally caught the black man after another leap, crawling onto his back.
Opening its mouth full of sharp teeth, the fetus bit into the back of the black man’s head, tearing off a piece of scalp.
"Help me!" The black man tried to grab the fetus with his hand, but couldn’t pull it off; the creature clung on tightly.
The two soldiers breathed rapidly, aiming at the fetus but without a chance to shoot.
"Attack that female corpse, break the umbilical cord. I’ll go kill the fetus," Tang Zheng said. He figured it was a boss, so he paused his attack. Seeing that the black man was being chased, he wanted to test the fetus’s abilities using him. Of course, he hadn’t forgotten about the mother’s corpse, duping the two soldiers into attacking it. He gave no orders to Aoki Hiroshi, as that guy was calm and obviously wouldn’t fall for it.
Seeing Tang Zheng extract an axe and rush toward the black man, the two soldiers thought well of him. Furthermore, as he was the Group Leader of the Chinese, many people listened to him, so they felt he commanded respect and made sense. Besides, the corpse posed no threat; they raised their guns and fired a few shots just for appearances. To their surprise, when the bullets hit the body, the female corpse let out an angry roar, got up, and the fetus became even more aggressive, biting the black man without letting go. The bloody umbilical cord connecting them also kept thrashing.
Tang Zheng shot at the umbilical cord, which turned out to be so tough it couldn’t be severed.
"Duck," Tang Zheng yelled, followed by his axe grazing the black man’s head, slashing toward the fetus.
With a bang, the fetus took a hard hit, then went on a frenzied attack, tearing at the black man like a carnivorous fish, ripping through protective clothing and flesh.
Rolling on the ground in pain, the black man prevented Tang Zheng from attacking, forcing him to hack at the umbilical cord instead.
Aoki Hiroshi fired shots while retreating, and the blonde girl also came closer.
The female corpse sprang up and lunged at the soldiers. Grabbing the umbilical cord with her right hand, she threw it with force, evading Tang Zheng’s chopping strike, and wrapped it around a soldier. Then, like a blood-sucking leech, she pierced the body, drained the soldier’s blood, then funnelled it bulge by bulge into the fetus’s body.
The fetus visibly expanded in size, looking like a three-year-old child, with even fiercer assault tactics. It thrust one hand into the black man’s eye socket, gouging out the eyeball and stuffing it into its mouth. As it chewed, it dug out the man’s other eye.
"Warhammer." Tang Zheng activated his ability. Lacking a proper weapon significantly reduced his strength. Otherwise, he would have chopped up these mother and child demons long ago.
"Don’t come any closer." Seeing his combat mate reduced to a dried husk within seconds, leaving only a layer of skin, another soldier screamed frantically. The M4A1 produced the sound of an empty chamber. He hurriedly reached for an Ammo Clip, but before he could load it, he felt a shadow pounce upon him.
The eviscerated female corpse sprinted, her visceral organs scattering everywhere. Then with a jump, she pounced onto the soldier, biting into his cheekbone and tearing off a chunk of flesh. After swallowing it down her esophagus, she continued to rip and tear.
Aihara Chiharu felt nauseated as she watched the soldier being eaten alive. The black man was also dead; the fetus abandoned him and assaulted Tang Zheng. However, while still in mid-air, the fetus was struck by the Warhammer, viciously smashed to the ground.
The fetus screeched in agony. Hearing the call, the mother turned and launched herself toward it.
Tang Zheng fired continuously, but the recoil was nearly negligible against the mother. Just as she reached out to grab Tang Zheng’s neck, the Warhammer stepped in front, blasting her away with a mighty swing.
The mother rolled, leaving a trail of blood. The fetus seized the chance to pounce on Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng swung his arm like a whip, striking the fetus’s body. Bang, the latter hit the ground but immediately got back up to attack, even spitting out a sticky substance.
"So annoying." Tang Zheng dodged the slime and, once again, knocked it to the ground. He stepped on it and ground his foot down hard, the fetus screaming in pain, biting his shoelaces.
The Warhammer lunged at the mother, who desperately pulled at the umbilical cord to save her child, all in vain.
Tang Zheng pulled out a six-barrel machine gun, pressed it against the fetus’s head, and amid dense gunfire and muzzle flames, a multitude of bullets hammered into the fetus’s head.
Although each bullet was weak, the fetus couldn’t endure such relentless assault. Its body began to rupture. It was like a migratory fish caught in a net, screeching and wildly thrashing its limbs.
The mother was held back by the Warhammer, unable to rush forward.
Aihara Chiharu breathed a sigh of relief. Tang Zheng indeed was formidable, completely overwhelming these demons. Aoki Hiroshi felt envious and wished to become as strong. He began attacking the mother, secure in the knowledge that with the Warhammer as a meat shield, she couldn’t get through.
After firing three thousand bullets, the fetus’s entire head was mangled, leaving only its body twitching. Tang Zheng lifted his foot, and the creature immediately leaped up, clawing at Tang Zheng’s face.
Tang Zheng blocked with his hand. The creature clung desperately to his arm and, without waiting to be thrown off, detonated itself.
Boom, a large of burst of blood mist and broken flesh exploded forth. Tang Zheng was splattered with quite a bit, and the shock wave forced him back several steps, catching him off guard.
"Fuck, Warhammer, blast it to pieces!" Tang Zheng’s cheek was grazed by flying bone fragments, and the gory mess made him feel sick. To be brought to such a disheveled state by a fetus was infuriating and also served as a cautionary reminder. Explosive demons were unpredictable and detestable.
With full firepower engaged, the Warhammer whirled wildly. Tang Zheng, too, was enraged. He charged forward, Warhammer and Axe in hand, relentlessly overwhelming the female corpse.
This demon was merely a minor leader. It could slaughter newbies without issue, but up against Tang Zheng, it was doomed to be overpowered. In less than a minute, it was disposed of.
"Let’s go." Picking up a Golden Seed that had fallen, Tang Zheng headed toward the hospital.
"If you’re so strong, why didn’t you take action sooner? Then those three wouldn’t have had to die." The blonde girl spoke her mind bluntly. Watching her fellow men die made her blame Tang Zheng.
"Why should I save you?" Tang Zheng retorted. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets at Qidian. Your support is my motivation.)
