Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 445

Chapter 445: Chapter 445: Monster Footprints, Researching Weapons

They assessed the situation up ahead.

The group got out of the car and walked to the edge of the shocking, massive crater to inspect it.

"What... What made this? Was it a bomb?"

Sharon Lynn’s eyes widened as she stared at the menacing crater, both terrified and curious.

Dr. Ford bent down, pushing up the heavy glasses on his nose. He squinted, carefully examining the marks on the crater’s edge and the condition of the soil, then slowly shook his head. "No, this wasn’t caused by shelling or explosives.

"The pattern of destruction... the tearing at the edges and the direction the soil was compacted... it looks more like..."

He paused, his tone growing grave. "A footprint."

"A footprint?!"

Sharon Lynn cried out in astonishment, unable to imagine what kind of creature could leave such a horrifying footprint.

Hearing this, an idea sparked in Seraphina Sullivan’s mind.

She activated a Skill.

Her spiritual power extended outward as she cast the [Bird Manipulation Technique].

Soon, a small, seemingly healthy bird circling nearby came under her Control and soared high into the sky, flapping its wings.

She used Pelican’s Eye to share the bird’s vision.

From high above, she looked down on the long, dilapidated highway below.

As her vision expanded, a shocking scene entered her "view."

About two kilometers ahead, then five, and even farther still, a series of similar, immense craters were scattered intermittently along the highway’s path!

They weren’t in a perfectly straight line, but they were roughly aligned, as if... as if some behemoth had once leisurely strolled down this highway, one step at a time.

Every step had left behind a devastating mark!

Seraphina Sullivan withdrew her spiritual power, her expression darkening slightly. "Dr. Ford is right. They’re footprints.

"And it’s not just this one. There are several more ahead, stretching all the way down the highway.

"It looks like they were left by some giant monster of unimaginable size.

"It could be a Catastrophe Level, or just a monster of exceptional size."

Hearing this, Sharon Lynn’s face instantly turned deathly pale, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Just imagining the monster that could leave such footprints was enough to make her feel a suffocating fear.

Flora Sullivan quickly put an arm around her shoulder and comforted her softly, "Don’t be scared, don’t be scared, your sisters are here! That big guy must be long gone by now. It won’t just pop out of nowhere.

"And even if we do run into it, I and Chet will figure out a way to protect us!"

Sharon Lynn nodded doubtfully but still held on tightly to Flora Sullivan’s hand.

Meanwhile, upon hearing the conclusion of "footprints" and "monster," Dr. Ford showed no fear. Instead, his eyes lit up as if he had just discovered a treasure.

He immediately pulled several small glass vials, tweezers, and test tubes from his worn-out but exceptionally sturdy satchel. Eagerly, he crouched by the crater’s edge and began to carefully collect soil samples from the bottom and sides, along with some unknown fragments that might have fallen off or been carried by the monster’s foot.

As he collected the samples, he muttered to himself, "A pity, such a pity... If only I could get a complete monster tissue sample, or even the fresh corpse of a small monster... Then I could analyze its cellular structure, Energy composition, and genetic sequence... It would be crucial for studying their Weaknesses and finding ways to fight them..."
