Chapter 111: Beast of Nurgle

Howard felt his scalp tingle when he heard the laughter. He looked towards the source of the sound and saw a round figure not even as tall as a person's calf flash by.

The moment Howard saw the shadow, he knew it was a Nurgling.

Nurglings are the most numerous demons in the camp of the evil god Nurgle. Each Nurgling is a living cluster of animated plagues, born from the pustules and sores of the Great Unclean Ones.

Now, even when facing hordes of infected plague zombies, Howard would not feel afraid, but the appearance of Nurglings made him feel very uneasy.

Although Nurglings are far inferior to the zombies transformed from infected mortals in terms of strength, no matter how disgusting the plague zombies are, they are transformed from the original residents of the hive. Although Nurglings are inconspicuous, they are also real demons. The environment of the hive cannot directly produce Nurglings.

This is a war. If the previous confrontations with the Plague Walkers and conflicts with Chaos believers were just proxy wars, then the appearance of Nurglings marks the end of the proxy wars and the end of the regular troops of the chess players behind the scenes.

"Hehehe!" The laughter of Nurgling was heard again. At this time, the living mass of rotten flesh had climbed onto the beam and pounced on Howard.

Although Char didn't understand what this thing was, he knew that he must not let it touch Howard, so he raised his hand and fired a laser, directly evaporating the Nurgling in the air.

"Mr. Howard, Arabelle, take precautions. We can't stay here anymore." Char immediately made a judgment and gave instructions.

Five minutes later, the three people, fully equipped with protective gear, left the warehouse and walked outside. This was the newest and most advanced isolation point built by Char and other leaders. Originally, they hoped to gradually compress the infected area by continuously creating isolation points in the infected area and connecting different isolation points. However, this expansion method also made it easier for isolation points that were not connected to other isolation points to be attacked.

Now this isolation point is surrounded by the enemy. Char's men rely on fortifications and weapons reserves to suppress the enemy with firepower. Although the cult retreaters and plague zombies are not afraid of death, they are still losing numbers in the face of this heavy firepower.

However, according to the intelligence received, the scope of the isolation points that Char can control is shrinking.

The reason was the living mass of rotten flesh that had just appeared. These Nurglings avoided the sight of the defenders with their small size and flexible movements, and then sneaked up behind them to launch an attack. The claws of these little monsters can instantly cut through the defense and penetrate the human body. At the same time, their claws also carry a more violent plague virus. Anyone scratched by their claws will immediately become severely infected.

Although the defenders realized the existence of these little monsters after paying a certain price, they were unable to launch an effective counterattack for a while. Although the rate of casualties slowed down, they never stopped.

Char's expression was solemn. Ever since he saw the Nurgling, he knew something was amiss. This was the first time he had seen this creature, and his original plan hadn't included any defenses against it, which was why the Nurgling had been able to get to Howard so easily.

Through this Nurgling, Char realized that the preparations he had made were far from enough. The opponent could not have only one Nurgling, and it was even more impossible that the opponent had only Nurgling, a non-human type of soldier.

"Roar!"

As if to verify Char's guess, a deep and powerful roar came from the depths of the thick fog.

Then, heavy footsteps slowly sounded and approached, making a sound like a huge, slimy frog falling to the ground, the fat on the frog's belly slapping the ground, and the slime on its body splashing everywhere.

Suddenly, gunfire rang out where the footsteps came from. It was a firefight between Char's men defending the area and the unknown giant creature. However, the fierce gunfire only lasted for a few tens of seconds. As the monster continued to roar and accelerate, bursts of screams were soon heard in the thick fog, and then silence returned.

"Arabelle, take Mr. Howard to a safe place. I'll buy you some time. The reinforcements should be arriving soon." Char knew that a tough opponent had arrived, so he said to Arabelle and Howard.

As soon as Char finished speaking, a huge, bloated monster walked out of the thick fog.

It was a gigantic monster with the body of a slug, standing taller than Char. Its skin was pale and soft, covered in scars and a yellow-brown mucus. It had thick, webbed legs and sharp front claws. It had two mouths, one located in its belly, a slit extending from its navel to its armpit. To call it a mouth might be inappropriate; it was more like sharp teeth sprouting from the flesh and fat that had burst open.

The monster's other mouth was on its face, with a long tongue drooping from it, constantly dripping with mucus. Countless wriggling tubes grew on the monster's head and back, and with every wriggling movement, these tubes would spew out swarms of flies or poisonous gas.

Beast of Nurgle.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang..."

At this time, Char's men rushed to the leader's side. They immediately saw the huge monster, so they raised their guns and fired at it, but the bullets hitting the monster's skin were like raindrops hitting a pond, and had no effect other than creating a few meaningless ripples.

Instead, the Nurgle beast was attracted by the people who were firing. It excitedly pounced into the crowd and pressed an unlucky guy who had no time to dodge under its claws. However, the Nurgle beast did not bite the other person. Instead, it stuck out its tongue and began to lick him like an oversized puppy.

During the licking process, the saliva and mucus on the body surface of the Nurgle beast quickly dissolved the man. After the first lick, the protective suit and skin on the man's surface were licked off. With the second lick, the surface muscles began to dissolve. By the third lick, the man had been completely dissolved into a pool of pus.

"Woo..."

After discovering that the human under its claws had disappeared, the Nurgle beast sat down on the ground, and the pipes that were originally standing on its back drooped down, looking confused and lost.

However, the monster soon found a new target, that is, the human being, Char, who took the initiative to approach him when everyone else was fleeing from him out of fear.
