Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 30

Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Entering the Base, Supplies

Seraphina Sullivan, however, flashed a cunning smile. "Who said we’re attacking head-on?"

She pointed toward the setting sun. "It’ll be dark soon. We just need to soften a section of the wall and let those wild parasitic monsters spearhead the attack..."

Hearing Seraphina’s plan, Summer and Troy Lynn’s eyes went wide. They never imagined such a strategy was possible.

"B-but those monsters will attack us too!" Troy stammered.

Seraphina took a few bottles of mineral water from her spatial storage. "The parasites are afraid of water. We can use Summer’s airflow control Ability to turn the water into a mist and create a temporary barrier. Once they and the Guards have worn each other down, we’ll go in and clean up."

Summer Lynn gasped, her eyes now filled with a newfound awe as she looked at Seraphina.

The plan was insane, but it just might work.

She bit her lip and finally nodded. "I know a section of the wall in a surveillance blind spot, on the west side of the base..."

As night fell, the trio moved like ghosts through the ruins.

Summer Lynn’s hands trembled, but she steadfastly controlled the airflow, atomizing the water from the bottles into a fine mist. It formed a flowing Protective Shield around the three of them.

The droplets shimmered in the moonlight, like a hazy veil.

"This Protective Shield won’t last long," Summer Lynn whispered, fine beads of sweat dotting her forehead. "We have to move fast."

Seraphina nodded, pulling the Sound Wave Vibration Gun from her spatial storage and activating its detection mode.

The results on the screen made her breath catch in her throat.

The entire base, inside and out, was covered in a dense swarm of red dots. Their numbers were comparable to the Parasite Nest they had destroyed earlier.

’Damn it...’ she cursed inwardly. ’There are even more monsters here than I thought.’

Troy Lynn swallowed nervously, his fingers unconsciously tracing patterns on the ground. "S-Sis, are we really doing this?"

Summer Lynn didn’t answer. She just clenched her jaw and reinforced the misty Protective Shield.

’I have to destroy this wicked base.’

Seraphina took a deep breath, steeling herself. ’Once this job is done, I won’t have to worry about supplies. Then I can just lay low until the mission is over.’

She shot Troy Lynn a look. "Now! Use your Softening on that section of the Wall!"

Troy Lynn pressed his hands to the ground, and the earth began to ripple like the surface of water.

The concrete wall gradually became as soft as putty. With a forceful tug, an opening large enough for a person to pass through appeared.

Almost instantly, a piercing alarm blared from inside the base.

Searchlight beams swept wildly, illuminating the entire area as if it were broad daylight. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Worse, the startled parasitic monsters began to stir, letting out bloodcurdling shrieks.

"Quick! Inside!" Seraphina charged through the opening first, her Sound Wave Gun ready to fire.

Summer Lynn followed close behind, dragging her brother with her. The misty Protective Shield fluctuated violently as they passed through the wall, nearly dissipating.

The inside of the base was even more horrifying than they had imagined.

The room Seraphina entered was lined with transparent incubation pods, each containing a modified parasite submerged in fluid.

Some were still recognizably human; others had been twisted into complete monstrosities.

Most horrifying of all, several pods had been shattered, their viscous fluid pooling across the floor.

"This way to the warehouse!" Summer Lynn pointed down a corridor to the right, her voice trembling with fear. "The supplies should be stored there..."

Rage filled Seraphina as she looked at the parasitic monsters, which had clearly been artificially cultivated.

She could only imagine the despair of the people who had been experimented on, used as living petri dishes for the Parasitic Bloodworms.

Seraphina pulled two bombs from her backpack.

She pulled their pins and tossed them into the room.

Suddenly, heavy footsteps echoed from the corner ahead.
