THE LINEUSS ATTACK (SYSTEM)
Chapter 108: Everything Doesn't Become a Monster

“I'm fine. How about you?“ rai replied while clearing the rotten blood from his sword blade.

Lara was on top of one of the damaged cars in the middle of the road, she turned her head towards Rai and signaled “oke” using her right hand. “I'm also the same, the front is done.“

Hearing this, Rai looked behind the road where it was the direction they were coming from. Behind the street were many pieces of meat rather than strange and disgusting monsters. This type of monster is different from the existing city of Talu, here more monsters related to the land and suitable for the climate in this hot and dry city.

Most of the monsters here are animals similar to lizards, giant scorpions almost the size of a normal lion, and Meerkat, a mammal that lives in the desert and has the ability to be immune to toxins even though it is not 100% able to withstand the deadly effects of all the toxins in the world.

Monsters that have a similar type to Meerkat animals are very troublesome Rai. Because this monster is similar to Lizeer Earth which can dig the ground and abilities that appear suddenly. Luckily their size was almost similar to Rai, only slightly smaller than him and larger than Lara. Their size wasn't too big, so it wasn't so difficult to kill them all when it coincided.

They have the ability of poison resistance, but that does not mean they are resistant to Rai war. Their defense against physical attacks was very weak even though they were strong in making holes in the ground.

Giant scorpion was the same, Rai only first saw the monster. Previously, Rai had only seen a few giant insects, such as mosquitoes, cockroaches, and the like.

Therefore, Rai did not know what the abilities of this one monster were and indirectly had to be careful. However, now Rai does not need to be careful because Lara has told her weaknesses and tricks to deal with them.

It was only necessary to avoid their venomous tails and attack the monster's head until it was destroyed. Their heads are very vulnerable and fragile, easy to destroy.

Overall these monsters felt weak before Rai, especially the system gave them a level at the E+ level that was indeed weak for Rai who was now.

Unfortunately Rai has not levelled up in these three days, he is still at level 30, half the experience required has been achieved, the remaining half is needed and the amount is around 2,100 Exp.

The number of monsters Rai met was not as much as Rai wanted, even though Rai was trying to find monsters.

“The back is safe. We can continue the journey after I save half this meat,” Rai said as he walked closer to the piece of meat not far from him.

“Kuro, eating half a piece of monster meat that was here while I was putting in the piece of meat,“ Rai looked at Kuro who was salivating at the corner of his mouth and gave instructions.

'Miaw!' Kuro responded excitedly, then he dashed towards the meat-meat monsters scattered on the street.

Lara did not keep quiet as Rai was busy stuffing monster meat into the bag, she threw the piece of meat that was on the front of the road.

Rai and Lara shared the previous task when the monsters wanted to attack them. Due to the large number of monsters coming from the back, Rai took the initiative to face him, while Lara in the front was a little monster attacking.

Kuro also assists Rai in breaking the enemy formation and attacking from the other direction.

An hour passed, Rai had finished collecting the meat set aside by Kuro to eat it later, and Kuro had already eaten the piece of meat.

Now the kitten is lying on top of a broken car that was stepped on by Lara, while Rai is standing leaning against this destroyed car while looking at her phone that displays a picture of a compass.

“We have to go before the day gets hotter,” said Rai as he lifted his head looking at Lara on top of the car.

Lara nodded and picked up Kuro who was busy lying down licking his stomach. “Alright, let's go cute kitten!“

A wide smile was imprinted on Lara's face and she carried Kuro like she was holding a baby in her hand. Kuro who was treated like this could only shut up and look at Lara with a sour face. It seems that Kuro doesn't like it, but he doesn't rebel and is silent.

Getting off the top of the car, Lara walks with Rai on a road full of rusty damaged vehicles.

The soldiers and the ones in charge of guarding the city had already given their citizens time to leave, but the defense was not as expected so the monsters broke down the defense faster than the time these soldiers had expected.

Rai could see there were many bones in the car. It is sad that they are all stuck in the streets and cannot go anywhere, just waiting for death to come to him.

“What are these people stuck here?“ asked Rai who suddenly stopped while staring downwards.

The tip of the Methuragon spear held by Rai was directed to touch one of the human bones lying just on the ground near one of the damaged cars.

“I guess so too, they are stuck on this road,” replied Lara staring at the bone near her shoes. “The cars here are very crowded, this is the reason most likely they are stuck.“

Moments after seeing the bones on the ground, the two of them continued walking and combing through this dense street.

“Why are there so many bones here, did they die without being hit by an attack from an invading monster?“ Rai asked in astonishment at the sight of so many human bones along the way.

Lara turned her head to look at Rai's face that was not wearing a mouth mask, then she said, “I think they died due to the monster attack, because of the monster attack, but they died and did not have time to become monsters because their hearts had been destroyed first.“

“Heart?“ Rai still does not understand how this virus works. “Do there have to be a heart for the virus to work?“

“True, it takes the heart of the target body intact for this virus to make a new heart that has a function to control the human body.

“If the heart is broken from the target, the target cannot be a monster even though it has been bitten and the virus spreads throughout the body.“

Lara explains briefly and clearly to Rai about this dangerous Neuss virus. It turns out that this virus does not solely control the body that is used as its host just like that without any process. It took terms and conditions for targets bitten or contaminated by the virus to successfully become monsters.

With this Rai could tell, that these human bones were victims who failed to become monsters and died on the spot due to monster attacks.

“In conclusion, these people while still living as humans are victims of the cruel one-sided massacre perpetrated by monsters,” said Rai who concluded his conjecture based on Lara's explanation.

Rai's statement was in line with what Lara thought and she replied, “Most likely like that. Just look at this!“

Lara's hand pointed to the bones scattered near the tire of one of the cars. These bones do not clearly form which parts of the human body, abstractly, are like the bones of a chicken used to eat someone who is spread to the highway.

“These bones are not intact, certainly when the massacre occurred, these people were severed and separated in all directions,” continued Lara while staring at Rai who was serious.

What Lara said made sense, Rai also saw the human bones are not intact, many parts of the same bone and lost, can not form the entire human body.

“I understand,” Rai nodded stating his understanding. “Don't stop here, let's go to the building in front to change incarnate method!“

“Good, Captain!“ Lara saluted Rai with a small laugh.

Seeing Lara's behavior imitating the scenes in the film, Rai did not know how to respond, he just shook his head and walked eastward.

Lara ran while carrying Kuro and followed Rai from behind.

The two went towards a tall building that was still standing not far in front of them.
