Below the floor where Clayne was currently writhing in agony, the atmosphere remained tense and horrifying.

The undead outside continued pushing against the barricaded room endlessly.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Every impact made the stacked chairs and tables tremble violently.

Inside the room, the surviving students huddled together while trembling nonstop.

Some hugged their knees tightly.

Some cried silently.

Others stared blankly toward the floor as if already broken mentally.

Meanwhile, the four students with blood red tails remained separated from the others.

Two girls.

Two boys.

All four had pale skin and reddish eyes.

Their tails slowly moved behind them like living flesh snakes while traces of dried blood remained around their mouths.

The normal students feared them completely now.

After all...

They had already witnessed their classmates getting butchered and eaten alive.

Even now, the memories continued haunting them endlessly.

Suddenly...

The undead outside stopped growling for a moment.

Then afterward...

Several undead began scratching upward instead.

The sounds came from above.

The fourth floor.

The undead seemed hearing something upstairs.

Meanwhile, the stairway remained completely blocked by piled corpses and barricades, preventing them from climbing properly.

But then suddenly...

Pfft!

A silent gunshot echoed faintly outside.

Then another.

Pfft!

Pfft!

Pfft!

The students inside froze afterward.

Meanwhile...

Outside the building...

Several undead suddenly collapsed one after another.

Something fast moved through them continuously afterward.

No.

Not something.

Three things.

Three swirling blood red tentacles tore through the undead crowd like spinning blades. Every swing ripped heads apart while bones exploded violently throughout the surroundings.

The attacks looked unbelievably brutal.

One tentacle pierced directly through three undead skulls simultaneously.

Another wrapped around an undead neck before ripping the entire upper body apart.

The third spun violently before cutting multiple undead into pieces.

And the one controlling them...

Was a girl wearing a school uniform.

Her face looked cold.

Calm.

Yet her eyes remained extremely alert.

Three blood red tentacles moved behind her continuously like living flesh limbs without skin. Veins pulsed visibly throughout them while sharp stingers protruded from each tail.

Soon...

The final undead outside collapsed.

Silence followed afterward.

Then slowly...

The girl entered the room below.

The surviving students immediately widened their eyes afterward.

"Someone’s alive?!"

"A person?!"

"She killed them all?!"

Meanwhile, the girl calmly scanned the surroundings afterward.

Her brows immediately furrowed.

The room smelled disgusting.

Blood covered several corners.

Half eaten bones remained scattered around.

Meanwhile, the terrified survivors immediately crawled toward her desperately.

"Save us!"

"Please save us!"

"They’re monsters!"

"They ate people!"

One girl suddenly broke down crying afterward.

"They killed my boyfriend!"

"They killed him and ate him!"

The crying girl trembled nonstop while pointing toward the four tailed students afterward.

"They cut him apart..."

"They ate him while he was still screaming..."

Soon...

Other survivors also began crying and shouting emotionally afterward.

"They ate our classmates!"

"They kept choosing weaker people!"

"They said they were hungry all the time!"

"They said normal food wasn’t enough anymore!"

"They forced us watching!"

"They threatened us every day!"

The room immediately became chaotic afterward.

Meanwhile...

The four tailed students immediately became nervous afterward.

One male student hurriedly spoke.

"We had no choice!"

"We were starving!"

"You don’t understand!"

The female tailed student beside him also hurriedly nodded afterward.

"We became hungry all the time!"

"No matter what we ate, it wasn’t enough!"

"We tried enduring it!"

"We really tried!"

Another boy with a tail clenched his fists tightly afterward.

"You think we wanted this?!"

"We didn’t even understand what was happening to us!"

"Our bodies kept changing!"

"We couldn’t control the hunger anymore!"

The atmosphere immediately became tense afterward.

Meanwhile...

The girl with three tails merely stared at them coldly.

Then she calmly asked,

"Did you eat undead flesh?"

The four tailed students froze afterward.

One of the girls slowly nodded.

"We..."

"We thought of trying it before..."

The three tailed girl immediately narrowed her eyes afterward.

"Never do that again."

Her voice became colder afterward.

"As long as you avoid eating undead meat, your mutation will remain more stable."

The survivors became confused afterward.

"Mutation?"

"What are you talking about?"

Meanwhile...

The girl ignored them completely.

Instead...

Her eyes slowly lifted upward toward the damaged ceiling above.

There was a hole there.

The same hole where Gerard and the other corpse were thrown down earlier.

Immediately afterward...

Her three parasitic tails slowly twitched behind her.

Then they became increasingly restless.

The girl immediately noticed this afterward.

Her expression slowly changed.

Meanwhile...

The four tailed students nervously stared toward her afterward.

Then suddenly, she asked,

"You said there’s someone upstairs?"

The four immediately nodded afterward.

"Yes..."

"There’s a guy above."

"He’s insanely strong."

"He killed Gerard easily."

"He killed the other two too probably, they are not back yet."

The three tailed girl narrowed her eyes further afterward.

"What’s their names?"

The four became confused immediately.

Why ask that?

Still...

One of the boys answered carefully.

"Vince and Luis."

The moment the names entered her ears...

The three tailed girl suddenly froze completely.

Her pupils contracted slightly afterward.

Because...

Those were the exact two corpses thrown outside earlier, that’s the name in their ID’s.

And the parasitic crystals she absorbed from them...

Those crystals had directly awakened her third parasitic blood limb.

Immediately afterward...

Her heartbeat accelerated.

That meant...

The person upstairs had killed two evolved infected.

And based on the corpse outside...

He had likely killed the fully mutated undead too.

The girl slowly became serious afterward.

Urduja Wells.

That was her name.

And she had originally come here searching for a treasure.

Ever since her parasitic mutation evolved, her senses had continuously guided her toward this building.

Toward this floor.

Toward something above.

And now...

There was apparently another powerful individual already here.

Urduja slowly inhaled afterward.

If the thing she sensed truly belonged to that person...

Then things could become dangerous.

Very dangerous.

Still...

She remained calm afterward.

"At least he didn’t kill all of you immediately..."

"That means he’s not completely unreasonable..."

Then she calmly asked,

"How strong is he?"

Immediately afterward...

The four tailed students pointed toward the destroyed wall nearby.

Urduja slowly walked closer afterward.

Then she froze.

Because there were multiple holes throughout the concrete walls.

Some penetrated several rooms straight through.

The damage looked compact yet terrifyingly destructive.

One male student nervously explained afterward.

"He flicked something using his thumb..."

"Then boom..."

"It exploded."

Urduja slowly crouched beside the destruction afterward.

Her eyes carefully inspected every crack.

Every shattered concrete fragment.

Every puncture mark.

And the more she observed...

The more shocked she became afterward.

Because the destruction was not weaker than a normal bullet fired from her gun.

No...

Some impacts looked even more concentrated.

More penetrating.

More lethal.

Meanwhile...

Her three blood tails slowly trembled behind her.

That alone already told her enough.

This upstairs survivor...

Was extremely dangerous.

Very dangerous.

Urduja slowly stood afterward.

"It seems..."

"I really need being careful..."

Still...

She also relaxed slightly afterward.

At least the other party seemed capable communication.

If possible...

She preferred negotiating first.

After all...

The thing her parasite sensed so desperately...

Might still be obtainable peacefully.

Soon afterward...

Urduja climbed upward through the hole carefully.

Her movements looked agile and quiet.

The four tailed students nervously followed behind her afterward.

Soon...

Urduja entered the fourth floor bathroom.

Immediately afterward...

Her eyes narrowed.

Everything looked surprisingly clean.

Too clean.

The blood had been washed away completely.

The corpses were gone.

The air no longer smelled rotten.

Only faint traces of spiritual mist lingered throughout the surroundings strangely.

Meanwhile...

Her three parasitic blood limbs suddenly became restless behind her.

No.

Not merely restless.

Frantic.

The tails twitched violently afterward.

Their sharp stingers repeatedly pointed toward one direction continuously.

Urduja immediately became alert afterward.

Her breathing slowed.

Her eyes carefully scanned the surroundings.

One cubicle.

Second cubicle.

Third cubicle.

Fourth cubicle.

Nothing.

Then finally...

Her gaze slowly landed toward the sink.

There...

Something rested quietly beside it.

The strange crystallized worm like object from earlier.

The object Clayne cleaned using water.

The moment Urduja saw it...

Her entire body froze completely.

Her parasitic tails suddenly went wild behind her afterward, it’s like it was moving like it a child seeing her favorite candy.

The tails trembled violently while emitting excited screeching noises nonstop.

Meanwhile...

Urduja’s eyes widened further and further afterward.

Because the instinct inside her parasite screamed only one thing endlessly.

Treasure.

Treasure.

TREASURE.

Urduja almost screamed afterward.

"This..."

"This is the treasure I’m looking for?!"
