Chapter 402: Chapter 402: Hatch
Han Dong had already gotten familiar with the layout of the supermarket.
Aside from the biggest area, the hall.
There were only a few isolated spaces such as the [warehouse], [manager’s office], [staff resting room], and the [public restroom].
Han Dong immediately directed himself to rush to the public restroom first.
Before he even reached the restroom’s entrance, he smelled a faint scent of blood emanating from the men’s side… Thankfully at this moment, no second person had entered the restroom, seeming like something had just happened.
“How strange? Why would it start early?”
Han Dong turned to glance at the other three people in the supermarket who were parasitized, none of them were undergoing any dramatic body changes, the eggs in their bodies would likely need over ten more minutes to hatch.
Just then, a scruffy old drunkard wanted to use the restroom, but was immediately stopped by Han Dong.
“What are you doing?” The drunkard was a little unhappy.
Han Dong did not bother with explanations, directly hit him with one palm, administering a fungus to cut off his consciousness.
As the drunkard fainted, Han Dong immediately removed the bottle of liquor from his hand and set it beside him. It looked just like he passed out from drinking too much.
He closed the door to the men’s restroom and sealed it with yellow sand.
“This…”
The restroom area had been filled with numerous small Cold Spiders.
Unlike normal spiders, these Cold Spiders were covered in eyes all over their bodies. Even their legs have structures like eyes…
Furthermore, these eyes not only provided visual abilities but could also refract light.
The moment Han Dong stepped into the restroom, he was immediately pulled into a [Dreamland].
As if he was in an extremely large spider nest, over ten giant spiders were eyeballing Han Dong, the fresh piece of meat.
The giant spiders immediately crawled from various directions with a creaking sound.
However, Han Dong was not the least bit panicked by this.
“Illusion techniques… it would’ve been a lot simpler with the Little Demon Eye.
However, the illusion might have formed through the refraction from the Cold Spiders’ eyes… As long as I eliminate these creatures, the illusion will naturally shatter.
I must not take too much time here.
Since they are small creatures, I will let the small ones handle them.”
When both the effects of sandification and plague rotting were weak under these circumstances.
He used his left arm for support, and a power from the Undying Priest was activated by Han Dong… drawing out a considerable amount of energy from his brain in an instant.
This time it wasn’t as simple as just sandifying the ground.
From under the yellow sand.
Countless Scarab Beetles with triangular marks on their back emerged, there were so many that it was practically impossible to count.
This ability was an advanced magic which Han Dong mastered in the library based on the Yellow Sand System gifted by Imhotep.
Due to its energy consumption, Han Dong rarely used it… To counter the countless small spiders, the densely packed Scarab Beetles were the best.
Even if one Scarab Beetle falls, there were still millions and millions of Scarab Beetles being born from under the yellow sand.
In a short span of time, the Dreamland collapsed.
The giant spiders and the cave instantly disappeared, transforming back to the form of the restroom.
Most of the small Cold Spiders in the restroom were eaten by the Scarab Beetles.
The attacks from the Cold Spiders like their sharp legs, corrosive silk etc. couldn’t penetrate through the strong shell of the Scarab Beetles… They were torn apart and killed by the sharp teeth of the Scarab Beetles in one bite.
However, the Scarab Beetles that have eaten the Cold Spiders would die instantly due to the poisoning.
However, with Han Dong as their source, Scarab Beetles were virtually limitless.
In three minutes, the young Cold Spiders in the restroom were completely cleared.
But it’s not over yet…
With a creak, foul black juice was constantly seeping from the bottom of the door of the corner booth.
Clang…
The door was pushed open.
The black security guard, Murray, came out. But only his two legs remained normal.
The upper half of his body had completely lost the human form, his flesh had swelled and most of it had split open.
Between his muscles and fat, thick white spider legs grew out.
His face became incredibly puffy from the toxin accumulation, and a large number of spider eyes grew out from various abscesses. He was constantly spitting out young Cold Spiders from his mouth.
“Cold Spider Variant… A walking egg-laying machine?”
Through killing the fanatic religious followers, Han Dong had learned that environmental factors significantly affect the monsters. So, he had prepared spare gasoline on him ahead of time.
While this variant still hasn’t entirely adapted to the human body yet, he doused it with a large bottle of gasoline and quickly ignited it.
The result from the burning flames was surprising.
Han Dong even deliberately manipulated yellow sand, trapping it inside, performing an enclosed roast spider.
“There’s a severe exteriors wound on the back of his head, seeming like this person died prematurely due to an accident, leading to the premature hatching of spider eggs in his body.
Fortunately, it was discovered in time. If someone else had entered the restroom before me, they would have been attacked and parasitized by the Cold Spiders… Moreover, they would have screamed, attracting more people to the restroom.
The situation would have immediately become out of control, the spider reproduction would have instantly spread throughout the supermarket, and this omen event would end in failure.”
Han Dong withdrew all the yellow sand back into his body, leaving only the burnt variant spider on the ground.
Because they were trapped in the supermarket by the mist and could hear the sounds of the monsters coming from the mist, the majority of the people were in a state of tension, their metabolism rate was much higher than usual, urinary frequency and urgency were normal.
In the time Han Dong was dealing with the spiders, some people were already queuing up at the restroom door.
Noticing that the restroom door was locked, the protagonist, who was also the leader of the group, rushed over here.
When Han Dong opened the restroom door, it was still the same few supermarket workers who followed the male lead, David, into the restroom. They immediately smelled the fragrance of charred flesh.
“This… Is this Murray? How did he turn into such a monster.”
The supermarket workers and the security guards naturally knew each other well, even though he was completely incinerated.
Murray’s habitually worn boxing commemorative ring had fallen to the ground… Murray used to frequently show off this ring to others bragging about his former boxing records, everyone had quite a deep impression of it.
“Mr. Nicholas, what exactly is going on? How is it that you encounter the monster alone again?”
The male lead, David, asked with some confusion, after all, the two monster incidents were directly related to Han Dong.
『You can choose whether to initiate dialogue guide when interacting with important characters.』
Start.
1.”I came to use the restroom when I noticed something strange in the last booth, with foreign objects flowing out. Turns out a creature, with its upper body resembling a spider, rushed out. I reacted rather quickly, using the gasoline I had prepared in advance and burned it!”
2.”I’ll answer your question in a moment, there might still be people in the supermarket who have been parasitized by spider eggs, urgently gather all the strange-behaving townsfolk into one room, otherwise we have trouble.”
3.”I’m also quite shocked, let me take a breather and then we’ll talk.”
4.”Mother of purpose, you think I wanted to encounter such a damn thing!? I helped you guys solve this trouble in advance, and you have so much to bitch about, everyone here can go to hell and be skewered.”
