00345 Malicious Childbirth

He learned how to avoid the eyes of the living dead, as well as most of the knowledge he needed to survive. Nevertheless, Washington, D.C. was still at risk. No matter how hard you try, there's only so much Alex can accomplish in a limited space.

The world filled with the dead was no longer his side. Time was the same. Only the outside world - America - could save him.

"If I die, I'll be one of them."

Alex mutters spontaneously. In front of him, countless bodies are moving, losing Izzie. I couldn't stand the flow of time, and it rotted badly, but they remained. Their strength was already known throughout the city, while keeping their abilities intact and entrusting themselves to their lush instincts.

Forgetting the glorious past, I became a lump of flesh that didn't have blood in it, but their deaths did not come to an end.

Bang, bang.

Alex pauses reflexively as the ground suddenly shakes. He grabs his chest with both hands and looks around, keeping his eyes open, preventing the sound of his heart beating from leaking out. Even within Washington, D.C., there were only a handful of people who could vibrate this strongly.

"There's a guy coming this far? '

Alex is located just outside of Washington, D.C. It was famous for its quiet streets before the occupying of mysterious monsters. Unlike the capital of a country, it was also a low-flow place. Alex, I was even more sure it was where he was born and raised.

Soon after, the man who shook the ground revealed himself. The thing that caught Alex's eye was a giant "monster-monster." It was 20 meters tall. It was made up of many corpses that were hard to pronounce. The decomposed flesh and muscles became a rich sap that flowed down the surface, and they summoned a number of squirming worms that pierced the tip of the nose.

A horrible shape, as if a lump of meat had a will. Alex pierces the identity of the uninvited. It had overwhelming sizes and was a collection of deaths called the 'Mountain'.

The mountain, which was the highest in the food chain, was a predator and macrophage. Could it be because the "resurrected body", the beginning of all things, became the main pillar. The mountain roams around, feeding greedily on even the dead.

It was like a catastrophe on the run from the other monsters. Alex with a stegma, analysis of the exploratory family was not a viable presence. Technically, I've never seen Alex this close before. When the shadow of the Mountain appears, it takes a long time, but it goes back a long way.

"Why is he here in the center? '

It was a long way from the Mountain's activities. No, I had to be far away. We have settled here, avoiding the creature called the Mountain.

Maybe he was stepped on. Alex thought of his own path today, just in case. But nothing happened. The Mountain's presence here was more coincidental than a necessity.

Bang, bang. Alex curls up to the shock of overwhelming weight. I was prepared to run away at any time. Because it was important to survive anyway.

Recognizing that the sound and vibration are getting further away, Alex sighs so little that no one can hear him. Today, he was able to move on to tomorrow.

However,

Regrettably, Alex's peace didn't last that long. As Alex swallowed the drought, a huge eye appeared before his eyes. Once again, the Mountain, which was expected to be long gone, Alex trembles as if struck by lightning. I couldn't move a single step.

I was shouting that I should run away with my head, but my body was not frozen. It was as if my head and body had been torn apart. Alex is unable to overcome the Mountain's presence and breathes a short breath. Despite just watching, the mind melts into darkness, and the body begins to rot.

The mountain was not a 'common monster'. There was something disturbing the human fears and fears. It had enormous power to think of it as a catastrophe that piled up and piled up.

"65 points. There's no way out."

Tseeek, the giant's mouth is crushed with a stench. Alex was horrified by the terribly accurate pronunciation. Language is like saying that the other side - the Mountain - has intelligence.

"... what the hell,"

"30 points. That question isn't funny, is it?"

Alex realized something was wrong. The Mountain's essence is far more twisted than he thought. It was just a giant hollow that hid the fact. Alex closes his eyes and leaves everything in the sky.

Relationships with Kay, being recruited as a secret agent, and the fact that we need to assassinate Ei. The word dasadanan matched, and Jay's life flowed violently on the currents. It was already a month ago, but Jay could remember everything that happened yesterday. It was because he had a strict boss he couldn't even look at.

Didn't other orders come down from above?]

[You have not been instructed. We've been helping the shredders adapt to the planet for the last month.]

Jay cared about what he said. There is little information available to him as a watchman. At best, the analogy was all I heard from Knae Ae. When he heard Jay's words, he shed a tear. I didn't expect the shredder to move like this.

[I guess I was wary of him. What he has accomplished in the meantime is indescribable. You are more likely to look at Sihyun's actions and plan ahead.]

It was no wonder he couldn't move easily because he had killed several times that the circle could not guarantee victory. The circle was more likely to play the sea tactics. I was certain that I would hit a critical point on the premise of risking my life. At least that's what Jay expected.

[Why don't you take the lead first? You already know where the shredder is.]

[If you want to be found out that you're a seizure, that's fine.]

Sihyun shakes his head. It was the language cluster that attacked and killed him first. Giving a clue that he was reading the movement must have disrupted his future march. If it's not urgent, you'd better hide the number of spleens.

Moreover, if we kill the shredder at this point, the question of the breakthrough would also raise its head naturally. He has already killed those who trespass around the world. Up until now, there has been a reason that Tindalus' hound has taken advantage of his hunting power to secure the prey, but he doesn't know how long it can hold out either.

It was clear that anyone would notice that there was a problem with the breakthrough if the strange events continued to overlap.

[In the beginning, the circle, which has been so passive until now, why does it move like this? What do you know? Anything minor is fine.]

[Well, isn't it time? You'll know enough about Earth in five years. If it's not, it's changing.]

[What do you mean?]

[It means that the power structure of the three great families is changing.]

A special forces unit that had learned to push the limits and even put Gromgan, the family owner of the Lobbs, at the fall of the assassination. Jay didn't think the two cases came from the other trunk. It must have all been expressed through one cause.

[Perhaps you've changed your mind.]

[It's like you said it was a negative position at first.]

[You won't believe it, but it's true. The chief wanted the invasion to take place slowly.]

[Slowly? Is there a special reason?]

[I'm not sure about that.]

[That doesn't help.]

He kicked his tongue briefly. It was like everything was catching a cloud. But I couldn't rebuke Jay. It's because the information he was able to capture from the ground was obvious.

[I guess you'll have to go up there to get some useful information.]

Yes?

[I want to help you gain Grogan's trust. Tell me anything you need to kill Eyra. I'll listen to you.]

[Oh, I see.]

In a declaration he hadn't even thought of, Jay accepted with a expressionless expression. It wasn't a card I could use right now, but it would really help his scenario - his murder plan.

[However, if anything changes, report it anytime.]

[I'll keep that in mind.]

"The Eclipse task force is no longer capturing and killing Eclipses, but rather protecting and observing them. All thanks to you revealing your true identity. Now they have human rights, too. It's a good change."

"It's just self-indulgence, given my potential."

"Maybe so, but isn't that a big advance?"

I smiled and drank coffee. Xi Hyun also poured coffee into his mouth. It's been a long time since I've had a chance to have a frantic conversation with him.

"By the way, you're going to D.C. in a week?"

"Yes, the first step for Xavier."

"Hope is finally bearing fruit. I wouldn't have thought of that five years ago."

Opportunity reminded me of the past with a poor eye. The demonstration that was just a lump of mucus with three strands of tentacles has now reached a place that can lead mankind to a new realm. I couldn't help but be impressed as the person I was watching with.

As his eyes became heavy on him, he hurriedly changed the subject.

"Come to think of it, if your personality had changed, your job would have been reduced. What are you doing these days?"

"It satisfies my personal curiosity."

Like a young child, he quickly opened up the data he had studied, as if he had waited for his words.

"Aren't you curious about how a distant Pluto came to Earth?"

"Maybe Chateagua called him before he died? Because if you're going to go beyond that distance, you're going to need the power of God."

I didn't know exactly because of the lack of context, but she was thinking that way. It was impossible to perform such absurd miracles without the great old being.

"It may be so, but I've discovered there's another force at work in between."

"Really?"

Sihyun was surprised. There were more transcendent beings than Chateagua. It was a family I hadn't even thought of.

"Of course you don't. Now, look at this."

After carefully reading the research material that had been opened in front of him, he could easily understand what he was trying to say. The specimen was already in this world.

"Falatica...?"

"Yes. When Pluto approached Earth, it was observed that Palatica had resonated with a very small amount of energy. It may be inaccurate because it's within error range, but here it is, judging by the energy contained by Palatica five years ago and now, Palatica has reversed Bondi's power. Given the total amount of energy Palatica has, it's not enough to attract Pluto."
