(Kyosei's View)

Although it looks different, it has the same feel and I don't think it has much difference with the Behemoth's appearance. The gelatinous membrane and the sticky and slimy liquid is enough to distinguish it. I took one of the metal pipe scattered on the floor and throw it to the thing.

Contrary to my expectations, the gelatinous membrane is not affecting the metal pipe which is different compared to what the gelatinous membrane the Behemoth can do. I observe the pipe after it got in contact with the viscous liquid but nothing is happening either.

"Is this a different thing?" I frowned and checked in many angles what this thing is. Unfortunately, nothing close came to my mind on whatever this thing is except for the behemoth.

Since I have no idea what this thing is, I took out one of my extra knife that I only use if there are some things needed to be cut that is obstructing my way. It isn't my main knife and it is one of those knives that don't last long in combat so if ever the knife melts, then I won't be regretting losing it.

Stabbing the membrane, it produce an orange liquid and a gushing sound. Despite looking gelatinous, it has the texture of a rough paper and cutting it with a knife is not a problem. The bigger the tear I created on the membrane, the more the liquid oozes out on it. Aside from that, a very strong and very foul smell emanated in the air, which prompted me to pull up my face mask up to lessen the smell.

As I get to force it open, it revealed me a gruesome sight. Parts of the human body are scattered inside, mixed in with the viscous liquid that made them retain their colors despite the owners of those bodies are already dead. No wonder it is already emitting a foul smell, it was due to these. I clasp my hands and silently prayed for them before closing the door once again.

"Let's go Laika, we should let the dead rest forever."

The gunfire outside is still intense and there is no way for me to go and dive into the gunfight so before anyone would notice my movements here, I decided to open the fire exit of the miscellaneous store and make my exit there.

The back alley of the fire exit has a few undead loitering around but they don't pose a threat to me and silently killed them before moving to the edge of the street. I checked my back first before checking the street and see if there are any threats.

The streets are empty and there are no signs of undead around too which is kinda suspicious. There are two reasons why there are no undead in the streets, one is that they are already killed and two, they have been lured or attracted to something or someone, causing them to move towards the main source and in this case, due to the lack of corpses and cadavers on the ground, it is more likely that the second option is the most closest thing I can possibly think of.

While observing the streets, my eyes caught a flash in the distance. Observing it then made me realize it was a glint from the scope of a rifle.

'A sniper!'

Snipers are quite hard to spot but if you did spot any of them, but sometimes, their positions are the ones that affects their concealment if they are somewhere where they are easily on a well lit area, the glint of their scopes gives their place too easily. It was a good thing I managed to spot it before moving or else, that sniper would likely pull the trigger and bury a bullet on my body if he ever notice me. I also made sure that Laika will stay quiet and close to me.

The sniper is currently positioned on a tall building in the distance and has been in a good position to snipe me easily but it was a good thing that sniper had yet to notice my presence so this is will be my chance to escape however, I am quite sure that snipers have sensitive visions so my chances of being discovered is 50% depending on how fast I can move. I can snipe the sniper down right now using my AR15 but I am terrible in sniping things and in case I missed, I will be immediately discovered and that will be a really bad news. It all needs to be on timing.

Around 4 minutes later, the silhouette of the sniper disappared on the window. After double checking, I am sure the sniper is already not on that place anymore. Without waiting for trouble, I quickly fled in the alley and used the cover of thr buildings to keep me out of sight of the others.

After getting out of the dangerous alleyway, I decided to do the round trip and find my car once and get the hell out of here. Fighting here will be not a priority and if there are two factions fighting here, I have to make sure I can get out of there without any obstruction of other survivors.

But before I can get myself get to the car, a bloody woman carrying a little boy is currently running. It was not my intention to get involved to another party even if she is injured. I am not a running charity that can help anyone all I want. But she stopped moving and she was horrified when she saw me. Before I can even react, she run away and drag the little boy away from me.

Then, it all happens. As the woman crossed the street, her head suddenly exploded and the kid she was pulling along fell to the ground, missing the second bullet that suddenly pass through. Without thinking too much, I rush forward and grab the little kid away and went to the nearest wall. It looks like I stumbled some sort of twisted game right now.
