Chapter 102 - Patient Zero (1) (1/2)

When the roar sounded again, the spiders stopped abruptly.

Aleen could hear the spiders screeching frightened, and some of them were even shaking, but for some reason, they didn't dare to move.

At the same time, he noticed that Aya and the cat, Lily, were shaking too.

If Aleen was unable to realize that something was wrong after seeing it, then he was a fool.

But even if he knew, he could do nothing to stop 'It' from coming.

Because 'It' was already there.

It walked slowly from a building, looking curiously towards Aleen and the others as a child finding a new toy.

But Aleen felt a chill running through his body when 'It' looked towards him.

The pressure coming from that creature was greater than any other zombie, and its eyes shone with wisdom. Aleen immediately estimated the strength of the creature before him.

'Level-three!!!'

And with that information, he understood its identity.

'Patient zero!'

Yes, it could only be the patient zero indicated in the side mission.

Different from the other zombies, the patient zero carried a strange kind of charm with him. Its head was bald, and its skin very pale, like a corpse; but it was strangely beautiful in an androgynous way. It was completely naked, but Aleen could not say if it was a man or a woman before becoming a zombie.

The creature closed slowly the distance between them, as if it was not worried about them running away. But to be honest, Aleen was not confident in escaping from the creature even with his skill.

After all, 'Lightning Movement' only allows him to move around fifty meters with every activation, but Aleen had the feeling that this creature could reduce that distance before he could use the skill again.

At that moment, one of the spiders tried to run away from the creature.

The patient zero frowned displeased when it saw it. It moved its gaze to the spider and roared softly. The spider immediately stopped and began to tremble in fear.

But the patient zero wasn't conformed with it.

It deepened its frown and extended its hand towards the spider. Then, it clenched its hand slowly.

The spider began to scream in pain, but the patient zero didn't stop. It continued clenching its hand and put a smile of pleasure. Then, its hand was clenched completely.

Immediately, the spider exploded.

The others spider screeched loudly when they saw it, but none of them dared to move. The patient zero curved its lips in a smile so innocent as it was sick. Then, it clenched its hand again.

Immediately, more than thirty spiders exploded in a rain of blood and monster's flesh.

Only one spider remained alive, but it began to walk slowly towards the creature. The spider struggled and screamed in fear, but it seemed as though its limbs were not under its control.

Under the terrified gaze of the group, the spider walked slowly until where the patient zero was, and stopped. The patient zero then extended its hand and stabbed it through the head; then, it grabbed the brain of the spider and brought it to its mouth.

The patient zero ate the brain slowly and smiled at the group.

Aleen's chills intensified at that moment.
