Chapter 182 - 182 – Their House
Leva accelerated her run, then swept the monsters with her pickaxe with all her might. The ash centipede flew up and was injured by the red-haired woman's attack.
I shuddered as Leva continued to sweep the monsters away. More and more, they were popping up from the ground.
"Get out of our house!!!" Leva was getting hysterical when she saw her house was invaded by monsters.
There was a loud roar as Leva attacked the monsters in the house. I immediately grabbed my head. Leva not only killed the monsters but also destroyed the wooden walls of the house using her pickaxe.
"Leva, what are you doing!?" Manu gives a warning. "Focus on the monsters! Don't destroy our house!"
"Manu is right, Leva! Don't destroy your house!!!" I screamed in the red-haired woman's ear.
However, Leva didn't care. She kept destroying everything. Both the centipedes and the walls of the house. She did so by screaming and looking more frightened than angry.
Had she ever been traumatized by monsters like this?
The Rapist Centipedes?
Kat finally came and took aim with her bow.
"Kat, send Rex away!!! His low posture will make his body covered in centipedes!!!" Manu shouts again.
Kat looked at her dog and pointed into the distance. "Rex, get as far away from here as you can!!!"
Running next to Kat, Rex changed course, away from that location.
I ordered Kat to pick up the firearms in the warehouse instead. The amber-eyed girl lowered her bow, then jumped among the creeping centipedes.
Once at the warehouse, she found many centipedes gathered. Instead of retreating, she continued to run, even stepping on the centipedes without hesitation. Even when she arrived at the sack containing the firearms, she splendidly removed the centipede the size of a human forearm from the pile of items. Several times some centipedes were crawling on her body, but she could easily repel them.
When she managed to retrieve the sack containing the firearms, Kat ran to get out of the warehouse because the place was packed and it was difficult to aim. But something like a loud explosion appeared from beside her, knocking her down. It was an attack from Leva.
"Die! Die! Die! Dieeee!!!" Leva continued to destroy the wooden wall.
Kat struggled to get up because her body continued to be passed by many centipedes. I cringed at the sight, unable to imagine the sensation I felt when those monsters crawled over my body.
"Arrgghhh!!!" The amber-eyed girl was finally able to get up with difficulty, even though she had to keep releasing some of the centipedes that had landed on her body. Miraculously, her hair is now messy and fluffy. She looks like she just got electrocuted.
She came out of the house, then ran away from the crowd. In the part of the meadow free of centipedes, she knelt down, starting to take aim with a rifle.
It only takes one bullet to kill the centipedes. Kat kept shooting, and when she ran out of ammunition, she immediately replaced her weapon with a new one.
Meanwhile, I ordered Manu and Eric, who had just arrived, to take care of the monsters in the house. Leva was unwilling to obey my orders, so I just let the woman.
However, the damage Leva had done already very severe. Nearly a third of the wooden walls of the house were destroyed. Part of the brick wall has also been partially damaged. It would definitely be very troublesome to fix all of this.
I remember their struggle to build this house. And now, everything is ruined just because of the damn centipedes.
So, as Leva said: Die.
My colonists are starting to look exhausted. Only Leva was still moving with full force.
"Hey, they're starting to retreat!!!" Manu exclaimed. "Don't attack anymore, or they'll get aggressive!!!"
My other colonists instantly stopped their attacks. The monsters eventually retreated and entered the holes where they had come out earlier, leaving carcasses scattered on the ground and inside the house. Not only that, but the white liquid from their bodies also pooled everywhere.
"I've never seen this many centipedes." Manu wiped his sweat and sighed.
Eric lined Manu while wiping his katana. "I've never actually seen them. Before this, I only heard their stories." Seb's son stares at our corps field, which is starting to sprout buds. "Fortunately, our fields weren't damaged much."
There weren't that many holes made by the monsters in the field. Well, this game has tortured my colonists by sending other tribes to steal their food in winter. It's impossible for this game to do the same thing again in such a short period of time.
However, it's a different story on the sides of the house and backyard. There were many holes twice the size of a tennis ball which made me uncomfortable.
Manu took a deep breath. "It's almost impossible to close those holes. They are very deep…."
"Dieeeeee!!!" The scream was accompanied by a loud crash. My two male colonists turned their heads toward the house. It turns out that Leva is still attacking like crazy, even though there are only a few centipedes left on the wall, and she mostly just destroys concrete walls.
"Hey, stop her!!!" I gave orders to my colonists.
Kat, Eric, and Manu went straight to Leva and grabbed the red-haired woman's body. However, Leva was moving wildly, and the three companions had a hard time holding her back.
I could only smack my forehead when the door to my colony's house was released. The building that was made with great struggle is almost out of shape. Most of the wooden walls had been blown away, leaving only the frame, roof, and brick walls.
And the walls had been destroyed in several parts.
"What the fuuuuuckkk!!!"
I turned my head in the direction the loud scream was coming from, found Gwen in the distance, releasing her grip from the carriage breathlessly, glaring at the mess in the house.
The blonde woman twitched. Her mouth bulged, and she vomited hard.
Ah, looks like the job of pushing the carriage for long distances is too much for her.
I approached the woman and clasped my palms together. "Sorry, I didn't consider your physical abilities when giving that order."
Gwen wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, looking at me with a shocked expression. "Forget about that for now! What really happened…."
Gwen's words were cut short by a thunderous roar. The house collapsed, and my four colonists ran away.
"Nooo!!! My sewing kit!!!" Gwen screamed in a shrill voice and squeezed her head.
