Monster Gourmet of Ultra World

Chapter 17 Second Time Travel
When Zhen Mu opened his eyes, what he saw was an unfamiliar ceiling.

"Maki... Maki!"

"Zhen...Mu..." Zhen Mu repeated the man's cry.

Wait, Maki?
Zhen Mu suddenly opened his eyes, looked around, and found himself in a place that looked like some kind of command center.

The fully armed members of the Ground Self-Defense Force around show that this organization is not simple.

Sitting opposite Zhen Mu was a cold-faced beauty.

The moment he saw that person's face, Zhen Mu's pupils shrank slightly.

The figure in Takafumi Amido's memory overlaps with the woman in front of him.

Sara Mizuhara was a lieutenant in the Maritime Self-Defense Force who was devoured by the Proto-Beast and the fiancée of Takafumi Arito.

"He actually fainted during the interrogation. As a 2nd lieutenant of the Ground Self-Defense Force, he is really unqualified, 2nd Lieutenant Maki Shunichi."

Mizuhara Sara folded her hands and looked at Zhen Mu with a scrutinizing gaze.

Hearing this, Zhen Mu showed a strange expression and looked at his hands.

Suddenly, a memory that did not belong to him flooded into his mind.

Fighter pilot.

At an altitude of 30,000 feet, you will encounter a red glowing sphere.

Then, one month after he retired, he was suddenly kidnapped by the Ground Self-Defense Force and taken to this institution.

An organization that deals with special creatures.

"These memories are..." Zhen Mu couldn't believe it.

Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that he is hosting the first fit person he knows.

On Shunichi Maki.

These should be the influence of Noah's Light.

When he came into contact with the memories of the alien beasts, he encountered the power of Zaki.

Maybe Noah didn't expect it to turn out like this.

It is also possible that Noah sent him to this place for some other purpose.

"What is your purpose?" Zhen Mu looked sharply at Mizuhara Sara opposite him.

"Let me explain it." At this time, an officer on the side spoke.

"We started monitoring you a month ago. I hope you understand this."

"You monitored me for a month, then kidnapped me here. How do you expect me to understand you?"

Zhen Mu folded his hands and met the man's gaze without fear.

Although the body of the predecessor, Maki, had fallen into a deep sleep, his aura as a soldier still existed.

"It's normal that you don't understand. After all, you don't know what the red sphere means to you yet."

As she spoke, Mizuhara Sara stood up and talked about an incident that happened three months ago.

"Three months ago, an unidentified blue glowing object fell into the Pacific Ocean. The Maritime Self-Defense Force sent a team to investigate, but soon lost contact."

"The team's submarine was destroyed by a blue glowing sphere, and only the helmsman, Lieutenant Mo, miraculously survived."

The data records at that time appeared on the screen.

The destroyed submarine and the gloomy sky were enough to show how depressing the atmosphere was at that time.

Zhen Mu didn't say anything, but glanced at Mizuhara Sara beside him calmly.

There was a faint mark on the finger, indicating that there was once a ring on that finger, but she took it off.

"These are the changes that occurred to Lieutenant Yudong at the Iwo Jima Research Center three weeks later."

Two photos first appeared on the screen, one of which was an ID photo of him wearing a suit.

The other is a photo of humans gradually transforming into monsters.

The spikes on the face indicate that the person in the picture is no longer human.

Even though he was mentally prepared, Zhen Mu still couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

If it weren't for his gourmet nature, this would have been his fate as soon as he met that guy.

"That guy absorbed the geckos in the institute, gained their abilities, attacked our personnel, and escaped from the institute."

The scene on the screen showed Takafumi Aruto attacking the research institute after his mutation.

Corresponding memories also emerged in Zhen Mu's mind.

These memories come from the information stored in the cells of the alien beast.

At that time, he absorbed the gecko and further transformed himself, completely leaving behind his human appearance. Unlike Hikari, the assimilation of the alien beast cells with humans actually meant that the alien beasts completely devoured humans.

Only an empty shell remained, with its soul and cells all devoured by the alien beast.

"So what you mean is that I will become a monster like that guy, right?" Zhen Mu looked calm.

"It's not impossible." Mizuhara Sara folded her hands, and the atmosphere at the scene became tense.

With the example of Arudo Takafumi in the past, everyone was still worried.

The surrounding soldiers had silently pointed their guns at Zhen Mu in the center.

Except for Mizuhara Sara, almost everyone was pretending to be calm.

Facing a person who could turn into a monster at any time, Mizuhara Sara looked straight into Zhen Mu's eyes from a distance that was almost unsafe.

The scene was so quiet that you could hear the sound of breathing.

After a moment's silence, Zhen Mu broke the silence with a smile.

"As expected of you." Zhen Mu smiled and said, "I can feel that guy is looking for me."

"So, can I conclude that you have mutated?" Mizuhara Sara said with a cold face.

"That's about right." Zhen Mu also looked calm and composed, his eyes swept around calmly.

"Don't be so pretentious. I think you guys know about this kind of thing. Have you prepared my room?"

……

A moment later, Mizuhara Sara, who had arranged everything, left the command room.

He heaved a sigh of relief when he reached an empty corridor, and leaned against the wall as if exhausted.

My hands couldn't help but tremble.

That's right, she was just pretending to be calm. That was a creature beyond human cognition.

"Takafumi..." Thinking of the miserable appearance of her fiancé, Mizuhara Sara's anger overwhelmed her fear.

All these monsters that harm humanity must be eliminated.

In a closed room underground in the base.

Zhen Mu was imprisoned here as bait, maintaining basic mobility.

This also gave Zhen Mu time to think.

Judging from the current situation, it is certain that it is his ability of time and space travel that has come into play.

It was just that a small accident happened during the time travel, so that he took over Maki's body.

Although it is a soul traveling across time and space to some extent, fortunately, Maki is still alive and did not disappear because of Zhenmu's traveling across time and space.

This may be Noah's work. There must be a reason why he traveled to this world.

"Noah, what on earth are you..." Zhen Mu muttered to himself, looking at his palm, unable to guess Noah's purpose.

At this moment, a picture suddenly appeared in my mind.

In the jungle at night, a wild beast came rushing.

The heavy breathing was as if there was some very tempting prey ahead.

Zhen Mu knew that the guy had arrived.

Soon, there was a loud bang and crackling gunshots were heard outside the room.

"shooting!"

Under the leadership of Mizuhara Sara, the soldiers who were lying in ambush surrounded the monster in the center, which was constantly spewing flames.

In the splashing firelight, Mizuhara Sara saw Takafumi Arudo's current appearance.

It has completely lost its human form and has grown several meters taller.

Except for that part of its face that looked somewhat human, the rest of the place looked like a black dinosaur.

"He has absorbed more creatures again?!" Mizuhara Sara felt heartbroken and took the gun from the side and pulled the trigger.

In the face of alien beasts, humans' current weapons are simply unable to cause any effective attack.

With its flexible body and the ability to absorb various creatures, the gunshots were soon drowned out by screams.

Without further ado, most of the surrounding soldiers had fallen, all killed by the one's claws.

The more Mizuhara Sara watched, the more frightened she became. She kept moving around and attacking. Only she was able to survive because of her excellent qualities.

Soon, she was the only survivor left in the huge space.
