The one monster that Arifin shot is still alive. And he knows Dilophocaballus monsters have sturdy exoskeleton-like armor in some parts of their body.The two shots he has released only left several small wounds on the monster’s left neck, not enough to kill it.“I need to use my bullets wisely.”It's an 8-Shot Pump Shotgun, and he only has 6 shots left. He then aims the monster’s leg, trying to hinder its movements.One shot, and one pump, and the other monsters come helping their friend by using their elongated tentacle from up close.Instead of blocking it using his barrier, Arifin decides to evade. Because he has that confidence he is able to avoid this kind of attack, and releases another shot aiming low to one of the monsters' legs.Two of the monsters are now having trouble moving. They can’t be as aggressive as before. Henry comes to help and opens fire, trying to distract the other two monsters' attention.“No!” Arifin shouts impatiently. “That gun won't be enough to kill the
He gets back inside, and closes the door. He cares not to lock the door. Instead, he rushes to a wooden cabinet nearby, and drops it behind the door.He goes to another wooden cabinet and does the same. The monster slams the door quite hard from outside, making those cabinets budge a bit.“No, get away! I’m already old, there’s almost nothing you can eat from me!”That shouting mixed with fear only makes the monster even more furious at the door. Harun can even see a bit of the monster's face and its ferocious jaws and big teeth in the middle of that slightly opened double doors.“Uurgh! Aaurgh! Aauurgh!!”The monster is getting so wild as it already sees its prey. Harun lifts a chair, and puts it above the fallen cabinets. He also pushes one desk and piles it behind the door.He then goes to one corner of the office where the monster can’t see him. He sits there, shaking in fear while holding his both knees. As the monster keeps slamming the door nonstop, he begins covering his ears.
One light bump on the door shakes her attention. She immediately gets up, hoping there’s someone coming. “Silvy?” she asks softly. Immediately, the monster outside slams the door so hard and so wild. Cindy can even hear the monster’s ferocious growl. She is petrified due to the mounting fear. She is aghast each time the monster slams the door. Until she finds the monster’s hand goes through the door. Cindy suddenly lets out a short screaming. It is so short, because she is immediately choked by the terror. The hand is stuck for a moment. The monster violently pulls its hand back, leaving a bigger hole on the door. As Cindy sees the monster’s frightening eyes, her face is becoming so pale, wet with cold sweat. The monster uses its ferocious strength to break the door apart, until it manages to destroy the handle and its lock. “Someone! Help me!” mumbles the girl terrifyingly. Out of nowhere, she hears the sound of continuous gunshots, and witnesses with her two eyes how the mons
Until Ethan stops shooting, intending to tell Eric to stop. But Jack immediately points the gun at him, forcing him to keep silent. “Are you going to risk these people’s lives only for one useless man like him?” “No!” Elma interferes. “You were the one who pushed my husband!” “Shut it! If we stop the truck to save one man, all of us will die here,” refutes Jack. Those words effectively influence the other people in that truck. They immediately hold her together while keeping her mouth shut, preventing her from asking Eric to stop the truck. “Ethan? Are you still there?” Eric shouts from the front seat. “Why do you stop shooting? They are getting closer!” Ethan doesn’t give any reply. Meanwhile, Yusuf is still trying his best running away with an injured right leg. Ethan can’t refute Jack’s words, but he can’t just ignore Yusuf either. Hence, he just ignores Jack’s threat and then jumps off the truck. Yusuf rushes to get closer to Ethan, while Ethan tries his best to ward off an
Unlike Dilophocaballus, these Dilophopapio monsters wouldn’t be able to catch up to the speed of the car. Not to mention it’s already past 5 am, and the dawn is breaking.Even though the sky is still quite dark, Arifin knows the monsters are going to hurry away, so they can return to the dense forest before it is too late.“Anyone hurt?” he asks.“I think I broke my leg,” replies Yusuf.Arifin gives him one blood crystal. Yusuf already knows about this crystal, and had seen how it saved someone’s life before. So he tries it, as well as to satisfy his curiosity.Arriving at the police station, Yusuf rushes out to get to his wife. Arifin smiles peacefully seeing them hugging each other so tightly.Until then, his attention is attracted by Ethan who leaves the car by slamming the door quite hard. He looks so pissed off.His shoulder rises higher than his head, walking with rigid steps like a robot. It’s clear he is annoyed by something, and Arifin notices it quite well.“What’s wrong wit
Even after that one night without sleep, Arifin hasn’t tired yet. He is still taking his time to do his daily training regime.After all, he has consumed his daily soul crystal. It’s a daily consumption to increase his limit potential, but also refreshes him psychologically.He sees the commotion as he passes the gate while running around the housing complex. But he just ignores them. Those toxic people don’t dare to force their way, because the two guards watching the gate are holding assault rifles.All they can do is plead for a chance to have a meeting with anyone who has the authority in that place.“Please, there are old men and women here. Let me talk with your leader or chief. Our place in Andalas University had been raided by the monsters,” says Jack impatiently.One of the guards glances behind, and sees Arifin passing them again. He is not too far, and clearly he can hear Jack’s pleading.“You’ve been asking the same thing for more than 15 minutes, and the leader here has h
The guards open the hoover fence of the gate for them. Arifin sees the hopeless in those people’s faces.However, something funny crosses his mind. Instead of pity, he begins to think about playing with their hope.“Now I’m asking all of you! Any of you, who believes has been acting so selfish this last month, raise your hand. Just raise your hand, and ignore others like how you usually do. If any of you says a word, I’ll tell my friends to shoot you all.”They start looking at each other first. One by one starts raising their hand with an unsure gesture, seeming to understand Arifin’s point by talking about being selfish.Oddly enough, out of the 23 people that have been marked as targets by Arifin’s system, only 7 women are raising their hands. The other targets look reluctant to admit it.Some of them are still showing the guilt in their face. Except for Jack, who is always looking so full of himself, standing by raising his chin up with his smug face. He really thinks he has never
Arifin goes back inside the house through the back door. As he gets out of the hallway leading to the living room, he finds some people having a serious discussion.There’s also Mr. Natsir there with the others. And it seems like Mr. Natsir is now explaining something to them.His coming stops Mr. Natsir’s words midway. It attracts their attention. And clearly they see the frustration in Arifin’s face.“Professor! Did they take Grace too?” Arifin inquires impatiently.Prof. Irwan just nods weakly.“How? They shouldn’t be able to detect her?” continues Arifin.“Remember the guy you tried to kill earlier at the gate?” Henry interferes to steal Arifin’s attention.“That skinny man? What about him?”“Right before those mercenaries left, he pointed out about her when she was mingling with the other normal people.”“That damn fucker!” grumbles Arifin, clenching the fists with a mad face.It only makes his mind so chaotic. Either to help Grace or to kill that man, he has the same urge to do
