Chapter 996 Doomed City The infected being protected by the shell suddenly began moving at this point and lifted Gustav off him. "I really don't have time for this, I should destroy you now," Gustav stated as he sent out another fist the instant the shell was lifted. At the same moment the infected who was more than two times Gustav's height reached out to block Gustav's fist. Bang! He got sent flying across the air and did a flip once before landing on the ground to balance himself. Tzzzhhhhh! The infected still slid back by a few feet more before finding stability. The creature made a weird shrieking sound in the next instant as it lowered it's hand. "This one is definitely stronger than the others," Gustav noticed that his punch was barely effective against it. Besides that it seemed like this infected had higher intelligence than the others as it didn't just try to jump in and attack Gustav foolishly. It even knew how to block an attack, something which the others had done. "We can assume there won't be more like this in the coming hoardes... things are going to get more difficult," Gustav analysed. Gustav dashed forward at this point... Swwoooshhh! Despite how sturdy the creature was, it was still no match for Gustav's speed. Grab! Gustav grabbed it by the neck and leaped into the air. Bang! He slammed the creature into the ground as he descended from the head. However it had managed to shield itself with this shell again and remain undamaged. Gustav's hand was now stuck underneath this shell that had covered its upper body with the exception of its shoulder. Getting stuck there, the creature made use of this opportunity to attack Gustav by swinging its hands forward. "Enough!" Gustav's eyes glowed a dark red as claws protruded from his hand stuck underneath the infected shell. Thrriiihhhhzzz! His claws ripped right through the head of the creature, dividing it in two halves. The creature still had life in it even after this and still tried to stab its hand through Gustav's belly even after the attack. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞 Bang! It was like its hand hit something ten times sturdier than steel as Gustav remained unaffected by the hit. He forcefully pulled him hand from under the shell ripping a bit of his hand off in the process. His hands healed very fast as he reached out to grab the creatures arms and ripped them from their sockets. . [Atomic Disintegration Has Been Activated] "Purification," Gustav voiced out as a bright milky light enveloped his entire figure. The others on the west wall saw that Gustav had finally dealt with the infected and heaved a sigh of relief. They hoped there wouldn't be more infected like this that would be difficult to deal with but they had no idea what reality had in store for them. With the number in hoardes increasing by the hour, who knew what they would encounter. "There are more heading this way," One of them yelled out from above the wall. Gustav turned around at this point and leapt upwards. Thooomm! The earth vibrated as he travelled across two thousand feet in an instant before landing on the wall. Gustav turned back around to look forward. [God Eyes Has Been Activated] "We're going to need more reinforcements," Gustav voiced out as he spotted the hoarde heading in this direction. "We've been asking from the tower but they said this is the number of officers they can deploy at the moment. That we have to make do with these numbers," One of the officers voiced out. "Pfft with these numbers, the city is pretty much doomed," Gustav voiced out with a light chuckle before his face went back to looking serious The officers that heard this were overcome with a look of dread. They recalled Gustav had mentioned the number of infected headed towards the wall when they were still miles away. Gustav was accurate about the numbers which made them realise he must have seen the numbers headed here at the moment and decided the city was doomed. 'There are only two ways out of this now... Those two find a way to avert this crisis by dealing with it on their own end or we evacuate the city right now... Either way, with the numbers approaching this city is pretty much toast,' Gustav said internally. "I need one of you to head back into the city and convince those in command to find a way to evacuate the city right now... we might be able to hold the number for some time but they will eventually break through this defense," Gustav said with a tone of urgency. "Evacuation right now is..." One of the officers was speaking when Gustav cut him off. "I know... Just try to make sure it happens, if not... this entire city will turn into an infected territory," Gustav stated. The officer who looked like young and dark with curly white hair nodded in response before heading towards the south area of the wall. He flew upwards as he sped up, trying to accomplish the task Gustav gave him quickly. "Well if they chose not to listen I might as well just destroy the entire city... Won't let the world be jeopardised because of one city," Gustav muttered with an undisturbed look. He didn't really care much about the state of the world but for the people he cares about, he had to care which was why he didn't care about destroying everyone here so long as the people he cared about were unaffected. He was glad Red Shadow and Gradier Xanatus were currently not here so he felt he was in the clear. The officer beside him who heard him mutter all had looks of disbelief and internally hoped Gustav was joking about destroying the entire city. Some of them even doubted he had the power to do so even though this was a small city. Hopefully they wouldn't have to find out whether Gustav was capable of that or not. "Are you ready to battle Mixedbreed and mixedblood infected too?" Gustav asked as he deactivated God Eyes.
