Chapter 39: Greedy Misha
Chapter 39 – Greedy Misha
The sounds of gunshots quieted down. Eight soldiers, who had provided the cover fire slowly moved in, hoping the secure the corpse of the infected.
Meanwhile, the remaining men on the other side also rushed in to reinforce the previous team. However, the doctor and a soldier stayed behind to avoid the conflict.
All of them reached the dried naked body at the same time, but they were shocked by what they found.
"This guy is from our team!"
…
Misha finally got both her feet back after Tama finished digesting the blood of her second victim. It was a troublesome process of regenerating, but it was worth the effort.
Peeking from behind a giant ice cube, Misha could see the commotion of the soldiers. They have found another dried body of the leading soldier that she had killed.
She counted her grenades and ammo in her hands, two frag grenades, and five clips of bullets.
Looking back and forth, Misha saw the exit of the warehouse. She wanted to leave the building in the disguise of a soldier, but she forgot one thing.
Misha forgot to steal boots. She was too preoccupied regenerating that she forgot to wear them or take them with her when she looted the soldiers.
'None of the staffs will believe me if I walk out without boots. Heck, my clothes are also baggy. I need a smaller size coat and uniform.'
That was not her real reason for remaining inside the warehouse.
Her eyes still darted around, checking every ice cubes around her and looking for a similar shelf that stored yellow gels.
Misha wanted to get rid of these soldiers to search for more viruses before she got out!
'Where's all my precious? Damn, it's getting stink around here. Has one of the soldiers farted!?'
She twitched her nose, waving her hand to get rid of the rotting odor [Pheromone] that the pursuing soldiers were using.
Before this, she had relied on her tongue sense to detect the oncoming soldiers and laid a trap for them. However, the smell of the [Pheromone] began to get in her way. As long as the rotting smell was around, Misha could not detect any living signature with a flicker of her tongue like a snake anymore.
'I can only use my vision.'
Peeking at the soldiers again, they had begun to move and spread out to search for her.
'First, a distraction.'
Misha pulled the pin off a grenade and rolled it at the direction of the nearest group of soldiers. The grenade traveled like a bowling ball, hitting the ice cube behind a team of pursuers.
*BOOM*
The grenade exploded, and the shrapnel scattered, piercing the three soldiers of the wondering team.
The shrapnel did not kill the soldiers right away. However, the small pieces of iron fragments flying from the explosion were deadly enough to tear human flesh like butter. The three unlucky soldiers were stunned and collapsed on the ground by the scattering shrapnel.
The sound of the explosion caught the attention of the other teams, but Misha had already run to the other way after she rolled the bomb.
Misha hid behind another 3-meter tall ice cube, seven blocks away from her previous location. She gazed at the top of the ice and jumped.
At the peak of the velocity of her jump, she spat a mouthful of saliva at the ice.
Her spit melted the ice, making a dent on the ice cube.
Misha looked up again. She extended her hand and placed her hand into the hole, using it as an edge to pull her body upward.
After she pulled her body with all of her strength, her head got higher than the make-shift handhold.
Misha spat at the ice again to make another hole for her hand and a foothold to climb. She repeated her action until she got on top of the three-meter ice block.
Climbing on top of it, she laid prone and scouted the entire warehouse on the high ground.
<<You have gained 1,000 EXP>>
<<You have reached level 29>>
<<You have gained 1,000 EXP>>
<<You have gained 1,000 EXP>>
The injured soldiers had just died from the wound poisoning, which they gave a bountiful EXP for Misha.
Looking down, no soldiers paid attention to the top of any ice. Instead, they kept moving around the corner, trying to form a net to search for her.
'This place is still not a good vantage point to snipe all of them. I need a bigger block.'
Misha looked around again. Unfortunately, her ice block was the tallest among the blocks nearby. The taller ones located in the inner area, which was over a hundred meters away.
Hesitated, she decided to snipe the soldiers here instead of moving to another place. Despite knowing that she would not be able to take down all of them in one go, Misha went on with it anyway.
She aimed at the team where she had a clear shot.
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
<<You have gained 1,000 EXP>>
<<You have reached level 30>>
<<You have gained 1,000 EXP>>
<<You have gained 1,000 EXP>>
One shot, one killed. Another team of three went down, but the gunshot gave away her position to all remaining soldiers now.
Misha aimed at the other team.
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
<<You have gained 1,000 EXP>>
<<You have reached level 31>>
Unlike the other teams, Misha managed to kill one out of three since the other two reacted in time and got behind an ice block as a cover.
Her location had been found, but there were nine enemies left.
*BANG*
*BANG*
The soldiers return-fired at her direction, which several bullets hit the edges of the ice block.
*PU*
One of them got her left arm.
<<Warning, you have been shot with AR bullet>>
<<As long as the bullet head is still in your body, you cannot use [Self-Regeneration]>>
"This can be trouble."
Misha kept her head down as more yellow-needle-like bullet afterimages flew over her head along with dozens of whistling noises. It was a matter of time before she would be gunned down if this had kept on going.
As she ducked her head down, she stared at the giant egg in the ice block. Another idea came to her mind.
'Acidic Fluid!'
Misha activated her skill for the first time, and her stomach produced a mouthful of digestive liquid. Similar to vomiting, her stomach shrank, and the acid water was pushed into her mouth.
Misha opened her mouth and puked the yellow liquid on top of the ice block, which it immediately melted the ice at the same rate as Tama did on the upper floor.
Realizing that the ice block she was on would break apart soon, Misha rolled away and got down from the giant block.
As she landed on the ground, the two-meter green egg also lost balance and rolled on the ground naturally by the law of gravity and physics.
Its body began to pulse while the pale green veins darkened every second that it got out of the ice. The mouth of the egg trembled as it stuck several tentacle tongues out.

Chapter 40 – A Cliché Plot
The sudden melting of the ice block did not escape the eyes of the troopers. As soon as the giant egg started moving, they panicked.
"She melted the ice! Call for backup! Get the Hercules Squad here!"
All their attention switched to the egg monster as they fired everything at the egg instead of Misha.
Getting her room to breathe, Misha leaped into a cover behind another ice block. She reloaded her rifle with a brand new magazine and glanced at the wound on her left arm.
She gritted her teeth and took a deep breath. Afterward, she held her breathe and stuck her right index finger into the wound, digging her flesh to find the bullet.
"Mhh!"
The 110% pain sensitivity kicked in, and she could feel the same pain as if her bones were broken again.
'A broken bone hurts more than this a hundred times over. This is nothing!'
After she wiggled her finger for a few seconds, her finger got a hold of the bullet head. Her right hand and the index finger pulled out the troublemaker.
Upon the bullet head got out of her left arm, the system prompt gave her the confirmation message.
<<Your [Self-Regeneration] is now enabled>>
The bleeding stopped, and the red muscle tissues trembled as the regeneration activated once more.
*SCREEECH*
On the other side, the released egg realized that it was freed. It screeched in anger as it felt the pain from the special bullets of the soldiers.
The monster sprayed its digestive fluid in random and melted more ice cubes, which alarmed Misha and everybody in the warehouse.
One of the soldiers ran toward the entrance to call for help.
Coincidentally, he ran into Misha who had stood up and was about to move further inside the warehouse.
As soon as Misha saw him, she got a jump scare, which she pierced her tongue into his head by reflex. Tama also used this chance to extend its tentacle from Misha's chest and stabbed into the soldier's heart to absorb his blood.
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
Sounds of the explosion came from the site where the monster and the remaining soldiers were fighting. Grenades had been used.
Misha looked at the commotion with a grin. She yanked Tama's tentacle out of the dead body's heart and circled around toward the back of a team of soldiers.
*Meeeeew!*
Tama protested in anger as it had not finished eating yet. However, Misha did not care.
Aiming the muzzle at the back of the soldiers, Misha pulled the trigger.
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
<<You have reached level 32>>
Three more of the men went down. Six remained.
Unfortunately, more egg monsters were about to wake up from their slumber as more ice had been melted.
Misha peeked at the five twitching 2-meter green eggs with a worry.
'Will I be able to find more yellow jelly first?'
Had anyone heard her thought, they would have retorted, "You are thinking about food but not worrying about the monsters!?"
Misha left the fighting and struggling to the men while she dashed into the previous location that she found the yellow gels.
'Since this is a warehouse, they should have arranged it in order. More jelly should be around that area that I overlooked.'
When she reached to place where the captain's corpse was at, Misha found the doctor and a bodyguard soldier, who was surprised when Misha appeared.
"You!"
*BANG*
*BANG*
Using the small time gap when they could not react, Misha blasted their brain with her rifle.
As Misha looked left and right, she found more shelves within ice blocks as she had guessed.
"Treasures … my precious!"
Misha's eyes became bloodshot from the joy of her obsession while drools dripped down from her mouth. She repeatedly spat at the ice cubes and whipping it with her monster tongue, hoping to break the ice faster.
*Mew …*
Her fanatic actions even scared Tama. If it could sweat, Tama would have sweated profusely looking at the scene.
Soon, the ice wall fell apart. Misha gathered the Petri glass dishes in her arms and tugged as many of them in her clothes, which filled her pockets with many glasses.
With loaded supplies, Misha's brain finally functioned like a human being.
'Right, I have to get out of this place. And I need shoes …'
Misha looked at the dead bodies around her. All dead soldiers wore boots, which was obviously too big for her feet. Fortunately, the doctor rubber boots and they seemed smaller than the boots of the soldiers.
"I'll take these, thanks!"
…
While Misha was busy looting the yellow virus gels, seven two-meter-in-size egg queens were rampaging inside the warehouse. The remaining soldiers had withdrawn to the entrance and shouted to inform everybody else.
"SEAL THE WAREHOUSE! MONSTERS ARE GETTING OUT!!"
Four soldiers panted and ran outside the warehouse and screamed to anyone they found, which caused a commotion to the workers.
In front of the warehouse, over a hundred soldiers had surrounded the front entrance and aimed everything at the warehouse door, getting ready to shoot at anything that came out.
Seeing their colleagues running out in a panic, they ordered the onlooking workers behind them.
"HYDRAS ON THE LOOSE!! SEAL EVERYTHING!!"
The warehouse workers were shocked. Although they questioned what the men had done inside, they evacuated from the warehouse floor to the higher level where the research ground was located.
The emergency siren broke out as if the building was on fire.
...
Scorpion Base, Command Center.
The incident inside the warehouse was recorded by the CCTV inside, and it was being broadcast in the meeting room of researchers and commanding officers of the local military. Over a hundred officers and researchers sat in the darkness, watching the live broadcasting.
Yet, all officers did not seem to care if the monster would be set freed. Instead, they showed interests in Misha, who was looting their yellow virus gels like a burglar in heat.
"Air Force Trainee Misha, a player of Mafdet Central Military Academy, infected with the Hydra viruses after she had been mistakenly captured as a baby queen egg by a matured queen. We suspect that she is also a carrier of a mutated parasite egg since she displayed the characteristic and the abilities of the yellow-eye rebels."
Five monitors displayed several images of Misha, her training in the barrack, and the current event inside the warehouse.
"Any possibility that she has contacted the rebels?"
"We've found one of the rebels disguising as the ambulance driver that delivered Player Misha to the underground facility. Unfortunately, our pursuing team has been wiped out, and he got away."
"Any other chances of the encounter?"
"None. She was mostly in the academy since she has arrived in our world."
Researchers and several officers murmured, whispering to each other.
An elderly man, whose age seemed over 80-year-old, sat on his wheelchair and watched the live broadcasting with interest. His wrinkles and dried skin hand pressed on the voice enhancement on his armchair as he spoke using the electronic voice.
"Sergeant Joan. You are also an otherworlder and her instructor. Do you think we can trust her?"
The drill sergeant of Misha, Sergeant Joan was also in the room!
Joan grinned and spoke in a clear voice that all attendees could hear.
"Yes. She is also an elite in our world. She'll be useful."
