Chapter 22

They were doing great as they collected tons of supplies fast and gathered all guns and ammunition nearby. Furthermore, a group of SWAT from San Christobal city also joined them with a group of survivors they rescued. Under the leadership of SWAT team, they also tried hard to rescue the survivors nearby. Their combat effectiveness also improved under the teaching to SWAT officers. Although they didn't have any idea about other parts of the town, they became the strongest group in the town unknowingly. Many residents of the eastern part of the town also survived because of them.

However, things changed when a woman touched the black mist which was escaping from the corpse of a wolf. The result frightened them as the victim woman became a mummified skinny corpse in front of their eyes. And the black mist later turned into gray mist as it fused with white mists nearby.

Only at that time, they noticed the white mists around them and the black mists which came out from the corpses. Although they didn't test out the lethal level of gray mist, they put it as the most dangerous thing under the black mist.

After testing these mists again and again, they found that only light could solve the white mist while it can only expel the gray mist.

Since then, they started to demolish the nearby wooden houses to get enough firewood as they have lit eight big bonfires around the shelter.

They searched and loaded everything which can generate light, gas tanks, electric lighters and lamps, batteries, generators and even papers.

"Thanks to Goddess of luck. After two hours later, there were white mists everywhere and many gray mists scattering around. The sky turned darker and we couldn't easily see the outside anymore as normal vision range became around 20 meters without a light source. I don't know about other people. But for us, things weren't that too bad . It was all thanks to our hard efforts, early preparations and the foresight of the captain Chester.", a survivor said proudly in bar.

However, many other survivors were not that lucky. When they understood the need of light source, they couldn't easily gather the materials anymore.

Because the danger in the mist was not just gray mists but also those strange beasts they were fighting against. At first, there were still nearly seven hundreds people surviving in the whole town. But after a few hours since the mists covered the whole town, there were only around five hundreds people alive.

In them, there were almost no lucky people in the neighborhood of Julia as almost all the beasts went to the neighborhood of Jasmine street due to the call of strange whistle.

In a southern part of the town, inside the two-story townhouse, nearly twenties people were busy reinforcing the house while ten people were guarding the house with automatic rifles.

Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

It only had one way to go in and out which was the reinforced front door.

They thought that it would be a good thing because they would only have to defend one direction tightly.

This was no wonder because they had only been fighting with skinny wolves and little ugly dwarfs at first. Then it became strong wolves and tall humanoid ugly monsters later.

But after all, these monsters were all still in the effective range of hot weapons. If a single bullet couldn't solve a wolf, they would spend a magazine of thirty bullets to kill it. As long as these monsters could be killed, they felt that they were invincible. Their confidence came from their leader Christ who ran the only gunshop in the town. They chose to live in the house of Christ and they transported everything in the gunshop to Christ's house. They even got several RPG and boxes of frag grenades in their hands. As for whether having more explosive things, only Christ knew it.

But sometimes, many people would occasionally overestimate their luck. And a sudden misfortune can come out of nowhere.

The man in the balcony felt that he suddenly saw something in the mist. But due to limited vision, he didn't see it clearly.

The man touched the flashlight hung in his waist and told his companion, "Frad, I think I saw something."

"What's up, man.", said the black man called Frad as he walked towards him. In the dark, one could only see two white eyes and a row of white teeth.

At that time, the first man aimed the flashlight at the mist and opened the switch on. As the strong light shown on the mists, foggy mists were instantly expelled. When the two men saw the object, they were horrified. His shaking fingers dropped the flashlight. As the flashlight was dropped on the floor, dense mists covered up the giant again.

"Shit. What the fuck was that!"

"Enemy! Everyone prepare to fight.", Frad started shooting after calling out loudly. But his hands were shaking and the bullets weren't going to the target.

The two men were greatly horrified because what they saw in the mist was a nearly six meters high big guy and he was eating a bloody thigh of a human. Its big and tall body, sharp teeth, black red eyes, ugly face and mouth full of blood, blood stains on its body and the strings of bloody heads carried on its body frightened the two. The big giant got no clothes on his body except one piece of leather clothing covering his lower body and strings of heads and skulls on him.

Everyone was alerted by the call of Frad and the sound of sudden shootings. They didn't dare to take it as a joke and neglect it. Everyone picked up the weapons and started to take the good positions to fight with unknown enemy.

Then, they also saw the terrifying enemy when they threw fire rods into the mist and opened the strong flashlights. When the lights expelled the mists away again, they saw the giant smirking at them.

"OMG, what the hell is this thing! Are you sure we can fight against this?"

"Come on, don't just stand there. Shoot this thing to death. Quick, somebody go and take the big guys in the living room and basements. Don't hesitate to use everything you have! We died or that thing died."

Doubtful mutters and various shouts broke the silence.

Sadly, they found out their proud firearms couldn't make any real damage to this giant humanoid monster. The battle only lasted a minute as the big monster broke into the house easily and started killing everyone he found.
