HOTD! Busujima's Step Brother

Chapter 104 – Sewer Area

After

Bang!

The bullet went through his skull and killed him instantly. His body fell back into the water with a splash, sending a wave of the sewer water around.

"Graaarr..."

But then, two similar zombies rose up from the water, growling angrily. I didn't even realize that there were more of them. They had blended well into the surroundings and it was hard to spot them with my naked eyes.

My aim wasn't perfect with a slippery footing and I wasted one bullet for the headshot. The second one was killed quickly with a shot in the head.

I sighed in relief as I saw the dead bodies of these zombies.

It was a bit dangerous moving without any goal. I had to be careful and keep moving forward. After that encounter I decided to go through a different route. The one with a ladder to go up.

Some zombies were there but they were easy to kill. Nothing unusual for the most part, until I found myself in a big junction.

"A tunnel, huh?"

One path led to a tunnel-like room where the walls were covered in moss and slime.

The ceiling was high enough for me to stand upright, but it looked pretty narrow. It would probably be difficult to fight there.

Another path led to another staircase leading downward.

And the third path was blocked by a metal door that seemed locked from the inside. I could hear the faint sound of machinery running behind it.

So I went to the first option first, heading through the narrow tunnel with the moss and slime covering the wall. I somehow remembered Leon went through this path in the series too. That steel door at the other side of the tunnel looks similar.

Also...

"That blob, it's that monster, right?"

A blob of flesh pulsated and throbbed in the water. There were some leech-like creatures swimming around it.

On its body, an eyeball moved disgustingly and its mouth opened and closed like a flower blooming with each breath.

Yeah, this was the monster that Leon encountered. It seemed like the guy hadn't visited this place. Or maybe I came a little late?

Whatever.

I didn't know the name of the monster. I didn't play Resident Evil 2 so I forgot most of the things in the game, except for some characters. However, it was a strong mutated monster in the game.

So, it should be strong, right? I wouldn't know how to deal with it without risking my own life.

Still... a hand grenade and a few shots would be enough to kill this monster. I took out my grenade and threw it to the blob. At the same time, I prepared my rifle and readied my finger on the trigger.

As the grenade fell into the water and made a splash, the blob of flesh reacted violently. Its eyeballs widened in shock and fear. Then it exploded with an earth shaking sound.

Blood sprayed everywhere and pieces of the monster fell all around the place. Some of them splashed into the water while others flew in my direction.

I raised my hand to cover myself.

When everything settled down, I stepped forward carefully and looked around.

"Is it that easy?"

Reality might be easier than the game.

But I was wrong. Its main body still hid in the water. It raised its body and blocked the tunnel's path. Its body looked slimy, but at least the monsters had disappeared completely.

"..."

It seemed I would have to use my gun.
