Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26: Chapter 26: Sneak Attack? Sniper Rifle

Day four of the Parasite Apocalypse.

As dawn broke, Seraphina Sullivan quickly got up and hurried toward the building where Nicholas Jensen was hiding.

’Based on the dosage of the Universal Syringe, the [Pain Paralysis] Effect should have worn off by now. That guy should be awake.’

Seraphina muttered to herself as she walked briskly, ’I hope he keeps his promise and hands over the weapons obediently... Otherwise...’

The corners of Seraphina’s mouth lifted into a dangerous, wicked smile.

However, when she reached her destination, she found the entire building eerily quiet.

There was no sign of Nicholas Jensen, only the mournful sound of wind whistling through broken windows.

’Something’s not right...’ Seraphina stopped in her tracks, her eyes scanning her surroundings alertly.

She immediately took the Sound Wave Vibration Gun from her Space and activated the [Sound Wave Detection] function.

An invisible sound wave spread out, and the information that returned a moment later made her eyes narrow.

Around the corner on the path she had to take, a red dot lay in ambush, completely immobile.

"..." Seraphina narrowed her eyes. ’Is Nicholas Jensen planning to ambush me?’

Before, she might have been nervous. But now, with the physique bonus from [Speed Enhancement], her reaction time and movement speed were far beyond that of an ordinary person.

Faced with a known ambush, she wasn’t the least bit flustered.

’Heh, you want to play?’ she sneered inwardly, but her expression remained impassive. She continued to walk forward slowly, pretending to be completely oblivious.

Her footsteps echoed in the empty building. She deliberately walked casually, even humming a little tune, as if she truly had no defenses up.

But her finger was already quietly wrapped around the trigger of the Sound Wave Vibration Gun, and a Silver Needle was forming at the fingertips of her other hand, ready to deal with any sudden developments.

One step, two steps...

The moment she reached the corner, a black shadow suddenly lunged out!

BANG—!

The shock wave from the Sound Wave Vibration Gun erupted instantly, distorting the air and shaking dust from the walls.

However, the expected Nicholas Jensen didn’t appear. In his place was a parasitic variant that had been sent flying.

It was a feral cat infected by a blood parasite, its deformed body tumbling through the air before slamming heavily against the wall.

Seraphina was stunned. "...It’s not Nicholas Jensen?"

"Of course not." A lazy voice drifted down from the top of the building.

Seraphina snapped her head up and saw Nicholas Jensen sitting leisurely on the rooftop railing, fiddling with a toy gun model. A punchable grin was plastered on his face. "I wasn’t planning on ambushing you. I just woke up and saw this thing sneakily trying to set a trap for you, so..."

He waved the toy gun in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, the model transformed into a real Desert Eagle. He fired two shots at the parasitic variant as it tried to get up.

BANG! BANG!

"Just helping you take care of it."

Seraphina raised an eyebrow. She wondered how this guy had managed to evade her Sound Wave Vibration Gun’s detection.

’Thinking about his Ability, perhaps he materialized some kind of toy that blocks detection.’

She slowly raised the muzzle of the Sound Wave Gun and aimed it at him. "Oh? So you were being considerate?"

Nicholas Jensen immediately threw his hands up, grinning. "Hey, don’t get excited. I really don’t want to be paralyzed for another day. I’m a man of my word. I’ll uphold my end of our deal."

"But first, you have to provide the toys."

Seraphina snorted coldly, but a flash of satisfaction appeared in her eyes. "Good. You know what’s good for you."

Nicholas Jensen leaped lightly from the second floor, landing steadily in front of Seraphina. He held out his hand with a brilliant smile. "Let’s have a proper introduction. I’m Nicholas Jensen!"

Seraphina didn’t respond to his introduction.
