Life Dungeon Game

This is a giant centipede, but it has a human head on its head.

The man seemed to have seen this centipede before. He was slightly startled, but quickly regained his senses and raised his gun to fire at the man's head.

The bullet pierced through the rotting human head, but the head actually split open, revealing a twisted smile.

In the pitch-black rain, the huge, slender centipede's tail slowly wriggled, gradually rising up and approaching the man's body from behind.

Each segment opened little by little, like a giant mouth opening its teeth.

boom--

Just as the man was about to be pierced by these arthropods.

A loud gunshot rang out, striking the centipede's open abdomen.

Immediately afterwards, five figures darted out from the rain.

Some of them carried submachine guns, while others wielded sharp broadswords. They worked together, dividing tasks as they charged into the rain.

The loud gunshots struck the seams connecting the centipede's limbs.

"Ah~"

The rotting human hair let out a roar, as if it were suffering great pain, and the entire centipede body began to writhe violently.

In the brief interval of this wriggling movement, a strong man, wielding a long knife, pounced on the centipede...

It flashed past the centipede's upright 'tail' and cut off the seam of the third-to-last segment of the centipede's tail.

The centipede stiffened for a moment, then slowly drooped its body, its densely packed segmented legs gradually loosening until it finally came to a complete stop.

The bearded man with the rifle hadn't even reacted yet; he stared in astonishment at the experienced elite squad before him.

"This is a centipede with a human head. What you see as its human head is actually its tail; its head is at the other end."

That human head was used to attract attention. Every time it ate someone, it would lift up that person's head and replace the original head.

Next time you see this kind of centipede, just hit the third seam on the side without the head.

The man in the lead, who was holding a long knife, quickly explained.

"You are wilderness hunters...you are wilderness wanderers?"

The man looked at the dark skin of each member of the squad and stammered, "..."

They were residents living near the city gate, and they had a basic understanding of the wilderness.

“Hmm,” the man nodded, slung his long sword behind his back, “Go back to the back of the defensive line, there are no monsters there yet.”

"My wife is still over there,"

The man suddenly realized what was happening, then turned and ran away.

The five members of the wanderer squad glanced at it and followed.

"what!!!!"

They hadn't walked far when they heard a loud shout ahead.

The man with the knife immediately rushed out, followed closely by his teammates.

A pack of enormous black wolves was pinning a woman down, their jaws agape, ready to tear apart the child in her arms.

However, this giant mouth was blocked by a long sword.

The man holding the long sword suddenly exerted force, throwing the black wolf away, where it crashed to the ground.

His teammates immediately followed and riddled the black wolf with bullets.

The bearded man immediately rushed over and hugged his wife and child, who were still in shock after falling to the ground.

But before they could even reunite, the man with the long sword suddenly shouted, "Retreat! Let's retreat!"

"what happened?"

"A younger wilderness wanderer among my teammates asked."

"This is a Shadow Wolf."

The man with the long sword gave a soft shout and retreated, protecting his teammates behind him.

Shadow wolves are social animals and often move in packs.

As everyone retreated, pairs of fierce eyes emerged from the rain.

A dense, black pack of wolves appeared in the torrential rain ahead, their backs arched high, their heads lowered, and their bared fangs covered in a sticky liquid.

Everyone was trembling as they retreated, and even the man with the knife had beads of sweat on his forehead, mingling with the rain.

Just then, a beam of light streaked across the sky, followed by a dazzling laser beam. Where the laser swept, ferocious shadow wolves were reduced to black charcoal.

There was even a faint aroma of meat wafting through the rain.

The remaining shadow wolves, without bothering to see where the laser was coming from, whimpered twice and turned to run away.

The man with the knife looked up in the direction from which the laser was coming from.

A blonde woman with a slender figure, dressed in combat gear, descended from the sky. She clasped her hands together, glanced at the man with the knife, and asked, "Are you wilderness wanderers?"

The bearded man holding his wife

Upon seeing the FBI olive shield insignia on the woman, he quickly exclaimed, "Sir, they are good people."

“I know,” the woman nodded, looking at the man with the knife, “who ordered you to do this.”

"Our leader arranged for us to set up a defensive line here."

The man with the knife lowered his head; the pressure he felt from the woman was no less than that from the pack of shadow wolves.

"Leader? Which camp's leader? What's his name?"

The woman pressed for more information.

A leader of wilderness wanderers is called a chief in a camp or a clan leader in a family.

"Rona..."

The man said softly.

"Oh~"

Just then, a violent roar came from the direction of the city gate, interrupting the man's words. The terrifying pressure made everyone here, hundreds of meters away, tremble.

"That's the roar of the Knife Turtle."

The man with the knife cried out.

"Level C,"

The blonde woman seemed to understand the meaning of the roar. She glanced in the direction from which the roar came, then casually tossed a Gauss rifle to the man with the knife. "You guys back off."

Then she leaped, flames erupting from her feet, and disappeared into the rain.

After the blonde woman left, the man with the knife led everyone to retreat.

Staying here means certain death. Their makeshift defenses are no match for a C-rank enemy. If that blonde woman hadn't stopped the knife turtle, everyone would be dead.

"Brother, here you go."

During the retreat, the three- or four-year-old child suddenly pulled a lollipop from his pocket and handed it to the youngest member of the group of homeless people standing nearby.

The young wanderer in the wilderness glanced at the lollipop in the child's hand, opened his mouth, reached out his hand, paused in mid-air, and slightly withdrew it. But in the end, he took the lollipop from the child.

"hey-hey,"

The child watched as he took his lollipop, smiled, and then, after thinking for a long time, finally managed to come up with a question with difficulty: "Brother, how old are you?"

"Fourteen."

The young wilderness wanderer, munching on candy, responded softly.

······

The south gate.

A beautiful young woman in a red leather skirt, carrying a mithril chest, walked out from a small side door next to the city gate, followed by dozens of strong wilderness wanderers.

"Don't wander around after you enter the city, be careful."

The soldier who brought them in said this casually, then immediately rushed back.

With the command center gone, all the soldiers in the southern city were somewhat panicked, but they did not lose their fighting spirit and continued to hold their posts to block the alien beasts.

Penny gained the opportunity to lead people into the city by rescuing several lone soldiers from the beasts. She raised her bracelet, trying to contact the wilderness wanderers in the city, while searching around.

"Where is the blonde sister...?"

-

The FBI headquarters is on the east side, and the south gate is the furthest gate from the FBI, and it is also far from the Dawn Police Department.

While the FBI does not intervene in the internal conflicts within Fortress City, it will fight against the alien beasts.

Bald Smith should be a C-rank. He walks slowly and will most likely head directly to the southeast gate, which is closer to headquarters.

And Selena is

With her full cybernetic body, she is much faster than the Seraphic Mech in the city, and she will most likely be sent to support the more distant South Gate.

He didn't know if the FBI had any other Class C agents, and even if they did, it would probably be too late by the time they arrived at the south gate.

Besides the FBI, corporations certainly have C-level agents, but they would never send out their C-level agents unless their interests are threatened.

Although the Seraph type mechs are mass-produced, the number is not large.

Given Ainoan's personality, he would definitely want to keep these Seraphim mechs under his control to control Dawn City, while those large warships would be unable to operate within the city.

Those soldiers who lost their command center were already struggling to resist the monsters outside the city, let alone take care of those inside.

In summary, if a Class C monster were to break into the south gate, it would likely be impossible for anyone to subdue it in a short period of time, resulting in many deaths.

Selena's strength should be D-rank, close to C-rank.

That's why He Ao had Penny bring the bitter ape's heart through the south gate and give it to Selena. With the help of the extraordinary item, Selena should be able to hold off that C-level monster.

He didn't know if Penny had entered the city yet, but judging by the time, it should be about right.

However, he doesn't have time to contact Penny now.
