The Ultimate Evolution

Chapter 912: Charge and Kill

Translator: Sean88888 Editor: Elkassar1

(This is the first bonus chapter for October from meeting Patreon goal.)

The upper body of the homeless man whose waist was cut issued a series of incoherent screams and still tried to attack Sheyan. Sheyan stepped on his back and felt the bones being smashed. 70-80 disgusting cockroaches crawled out from the homeless man's mouth. Sheyan crouched down and said towards the back of the homeless man's head:

"I want to meet with your ruler."

Unfortunately, the reply Sheyan received was some venom sprayed by a few bugs that crawled out from the ear holes.

He kicked half the body at the wall, then hit the middle of the homeless man's head with the blunt part of his blade.

The man's head immediately burst open, not like watermelon, but like a cracked walnut. The content of the skull had been turned into an insect nest. A particularly fat bug desperately tried to crawl away from the head. Sheyan stepped on it, then bent down and repeated:

"I want to meet with your ruler."

The worm's answer was very decisive - it fiercely swung its claws at Sheyan, leaving two scratch marks on Sheyan's leather shoes - so Sheyan also decisively crushed it to death.

Sheyan's action caused a series of disturbances in the nearby sewers. Mysterious roaring sounds rose one after another as multiple silhouettes swayed and approached like zombies. This damn sewer may be a repulsive place for other contestants - the toxic that penetrated into the bone, the disease that could easily be contracted, the dirty and smelly environment, and the large amount of disgusting bugs....

But to Sheyan, the two most disgusting things in this place were not threatening to him. When diseases and toxins meet him, they would be like waves slamming into a reef. No matter how angrily the waves beat at the reef, they could only disperse and retreat in the end.

As for the other two problems, they could be overcome with willpower. And Sheyan had those in abundance.

Amidst the screeching sounds made by the cockroaches, Sheyan took the lead and rushed forward to launch the first attack. He slammed into three bugmen in front to push them into the filthy water.

Then he dragged his blade across and slashed two other bugmen from the shoulder to the chest. This injury may be fatal to humans, but the bugmen could totally ignore it. It was only some damage to the car that they rode in.

They continued to pounce forward. The bugs in their body rushed out from the cut and charged at Sheyan like a tide, trying their hardest to infect him with abominable diseases and toxins but to no avail.

Sheyan came prepared. He carried a lot of glow sticks for this trip. Under the strong light of the glow sticks that could persist for five to six minutes, the 'Corrosynthesis' ability was activated. A strange layer of gas surrounded Sheyan. Once the numerous but fragile cockroaches got close to Sheyan, they would sizzle like they were thrown into a pot of boiling oil, and burst to their death.

(TN note: From Chapter 671: [ Ability: Corrosynthesis – Where the light rays are the strongest, corroding gaseous will discharge from your mouth, nose, and pores; dealing 10 – 50 constant damages to enemies in a 5 meters radius (regardless of any damage reduction influences, minimum lowest damage pegged at 5 true damages) ])

Unfortunately, the bugs were simply too numerous. Right when Sheyan was momentarily stationary after executing a slash, a lanky bugman suddenly pounced at him in a strange way. His twisting movements were like the slithering of worms or snakes. He bit hard on Sheyan's blade, then his arms and feet entangled Sheyan's arm.

Sheyan sneered coldly. Holding '+7 West' with both hands, he twisted and pulled!

Yellow-green liquid splattered from the chin and nose of the bugman that bit the blade. A cross section was cut across his face. Sheyan kicked hard at his chest. From the depression where the bones broke, a red worm about the size of a chopstick desperately tried to escape!

Sheyan said coldly:

"I want to meet with your ruler."

The red worm responded by spraying venom at Sheyan. Sheyan squashed it without any expression.

　　**********

Sheyan panted heavily while holding his knees with his hands. His hair that was wet with sweat stuck to his forehead. He cut into the wall beside him and broke the water pipe inside the wall. Cool water sprayed out from the pipe.

The cold water splashed onto his bare skin and quickly washed away the blood and various other stains on Sheyan, making him feel refreshed. The water also ate away at his body temperature, making him feel cold.

How many bugmen had he killed? A hundred? Two hundred? And still, there seemed no end to them. Sheyan couldn't help admiring the powerful reproduction ability of these damn alien bugmen. Sheyan was definitely not unscathed himself. Not long ago, a strange bugman whose attack method was self-destruction made its appearance. Because it was the first time Sheyan encountered this kind of bugman, he was inexperienced in dealing with it and its mouthpiece pierced into Sheyan's abdomen after it exploded.

The attack was quite ferocious. Although it was not fatal, the mouthpiece caused piercing damage to both his abdomen and his back! His internal organs that got in the way were smashed! What's more, after the object attacked Sheyan's body, it quickly dissolved in the wound like an ice melting. It caused a lot of subsequent troubles for Sheyan.

Of course, such fierce and arduous battles also brought some harvest for Sheyan. The materials and miscellaneous items he got after killing the bugmen were worth over 70,000 utility points in total. And, he actually got a black grade mask called the 'Genuine Leather Mask'.

After rinsing the 'Genuine Leather Mask' clean, Sheyan looked at the silhouettes in the tunnel in front of him with a feeling of powerlessness.

"Damn it. How could so many homeless people go missing without anyone realising it? Are the police so useless?"

Sheyan couldn't help cursing.

As a matter of fact, it wasn't entirely the police's fault. New York was the world's largest city with various ethnic conflicts in it. Homeless people were everywhere. In a metropolis of 30 million people, no one would be able to notice a few people going missing.

More importantly, in the world of the Men in Black, the police of New York City did not seem to be have a very strong sense of responsibility in their work. One could see from their excessive weight and round beer bellies that they would probably be happy to have less homeless people around to cause social instability.

Sheyan gripped the blade handle tightly, already thinking of how to retreat. Even if he was strong, the seemingly endless attack was too much for him. However, at this moment, a dull footstep suddenly resounded from the distance in the sewer, followed by the sound of metal chains colliding. A silhouette which looked like a huge piece of meat appeared from the distance and stumbled over. After he got close, Sheyan discovered that he was a huge, fat man. Rusty iron chain penetrated through his body to tie him up, as if it was keeping his body from shattering. Every step he took was like a giant hammer that slammed on the ground!

The man's facial features were distorted like molten wax. He glared at Sheyan and emitted a dull voice from his belly:

"Earthling! You're worthy of dying by my hands! As a reward for killing my species, I will generously consume you and integrate you into my body so that you can be a part of my eternal power!"

Sheyan flashed him a sinister smile:

"Well I'm sorry, Mr. Big Bug. I have no interest in being consumed by you. By the way, have you heard of the Galaxy before?"

The big guy was stunned. He suddenly shouted:

"The Galaxy!! The Galaxy?!! I need that thing!"
