My Cell Prison

Chapter 405: Chapter 405 G

“Just like us, the crows are inhabitants of Earth, repelling these alien monstrosities…”

Benefitting from the protection of the crows, the townsfolk who were mostly unharmed in the wreck, perceive their assistance as ‘protection given by fellow inhabitants of the same planet.’

Twenty-six individuals are still alive.

The protagonist, David, had swiftly maneuvered to the other end of the alleyway, “Quick, this way! Escape to the supermarket, it’s our only chance for survival.”

In the mist, there was no room for any sort of hesitation.

Stimulated by the threat of death, everyone’s adrenaline levels skyrocket, and even the weak and elderly manage to keep up.

All spare torches in their hands are lit, and the high-powered flashlights turned on, in an attempt to maximize their field of vision within the mist.

After much deliberation, Han Dong has the crows lead the way while he covers the rear.

If Han Dong leads the way, their numbers might dwindle as they traverse… marking the end of the omen event.

The rear-guard Han Dong waves his hand.

Instantly, the alley behind them is blocked by a wall of yellow sand, temporarily preventing the Octopus Soldiers from taking that route, but…

Han Dong vaguely observed the bodies of the soldiers, supported by several octopus tentacles, easily traversing the sand and climbing over buildings… their speed greatly surpassing that of the average human.

“We’re at least three kilometers away from the supermarket… and with other creatures lurking in the mist, our pace will significantly decrease. They’ll catch up to us in less than a kilometer.

Hmm… The myth stage is indeed challenging.

Rewards require sacrifice.”

A black-bordered Ally Card gripped in Han Dong’s hand displayed the terrifying Double-headed Crow Man.

“Deploying the Ally Card – [Crowman] will consume one omen value and lasts for one hour… Do you wish to deploy it?”

“Yes!”

Accompanied by a black flash emanating from the card.

Caw!

Duo Zeya, long unseen, makes his appearance. He was unfazed by the misty environment, in fact, he seemed to find it rather comfortable.

“Duo Zeya, along with the murder of crows I’ve created, guide these people back to the central supermarket in the town… Try to minimize casualties. If I find that you’re slacking off, don’t bother following me anymore.”

“Understood… I don’t smell any particular danger at the moment, leave such trivial tasks to me.”

“Hurry up, it might be hard for me to hold off the thing that’s chasing us.”

“Lead… leader! Why does your head have such a weak scent?” Duo Zeya quickly noticed the issue with Han Dong, given that he should have no trouble dealing with these creatures in the mist.

“Certain abilities are restricted because of the specific environment, Duo Zeya, you’re probably experiencing the same. Be careful… Use my crows extensively to distract the creatures in the mist, don’t try to fight them head-on.”

“Caw… understood.”

Duo Zeya leads hundreds of magic crows in the dark, protecting the civilians. Han Dong was somewhat reassured… such an investment was worth it.

If successful, three omen values would be credited.

The risk involved would have to be borne by Han Dong himself.

“Already?”

In less than half a minute, Octopus Soldiers with cylindrical beaks had caught up and were fully encircling them.

Unbelievably.

They did not close in directly and use their corrosive octopus tentacles for attack. Instead, they raised their automatic rifles and focused their assault on the isolated Han Dong.

In an instant, more than a dozen bullets penetrated Han Dong’s body… turning him into a makeshift sieve momentarily.

“Alie-eoun!”

One of the Octopus Soldiers uttered an incomprehensible sound from its meaty beak, and the rest of the soldiers immediately ceased fire, approaching to check on their target’s status.

When they used their suction cup-covered tentacles to wind up Han Dong, a pile of yellow sand fell into the soldier’s beak.

Following that, the ‘Han Dong’ that was shot into a sieve spontaneously disintegrated and turned into a heap of yellow sand.

While the soldiers’ attention was diverted by the yellow sand decoy.

Han Dong had silently circled to the back of a soldier.

Having survived two omen events, Han Dong had already discovered some of this world’s laws.

Indirect effects like yellow sand and plague had little effect on the creatures in the mist… but as long as it involved props from the scene.
