Previously, when I shot it using my pistol, it didn't work as the bullets just bounced off. I know the shotgun can penetrate hard defenses in almost point-blank range so the damage output is a bit normal. However, I am a little perplexed seeing the big chunk of flesh torn off from Gluttony's stomach. It was like a huge chunk of brick came off from it that I was surprised to see.

I have an assumption on this one but I am not yet sure if it is true. To make sure it is true, I pull out the Beretta M9 Pistol, the same pistol I used in which the bullets shot to this creature was easily deflected like nothing. If my assumption is correct...

BANG!

The muzzle of the pistol is still emitting smoke, and the bullet fired is nowhere to be seen. There is nothing much except the difference this time around. The bullet has indeed managed to penetrate the creature. The bullet wound of the creature is flowing out from the tiny hole the bullet managed to create.

Now that it is too weak to fight due to the massive burns it received and the regeneration powers it has before has already disappeared, this big giant is not that scary.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

With the new freedom, I quickly make a move on disposing of the tendrils it has and completely cut them off. After doing so, I started climbing up the creature's body. With all the tendrils gone, I don't need to be afraid of it.

The moment I managed to arrive at the Gluttony's back, I went straight to its head and pulled out the shotgun. I sighed and shook my head as I aim the muzzle of the shotgun to its head.

"F*ck you. You caused me too much trouble, I muttered before pulling the trigger and making Gluttony's head explode. The moment the head exploded, the big body of the Gluttony also collapsed and its skin color slowly turned black. If I didn't use any Molotov right now, I might have been getting a hard time, and killing it might have been impossible.

Now that the deed is done, I pulled out the Piyavka Sickle and started dismantling the corpse for harvesting the Piyavka inside its body since Gluttony is a special infected that has mutated. It is a big body so this may take a while, however, before I can even begin, the body of the Gluttony started moving or should be precise, the stomach part of the Gluttony started wriggling violently. Are the corpses eaten resurrected after killing the Gluttony?! No, that is impossible.

I saw this morning that some of the "food" that the Gluttony has eaten are the undead. And yes, they are dead and they should have melted once they were eaten by the Gluttony. Aside from that, the virus may reanimate living beings to their dead counterparts but that doesn't mean they can reanimate and make another dead undead back up on its feet and moving once again.

To avoid what is currently in wait on the stomach of the Gluttony, I jumped off of its body and stopped the dismantling process to inspect and look deeper into what the hell is moving inside its stomach.

Readying the Molotov C.o.c.ktail and the zippo lighter, I observe the movement of the stomach of the dead Gluttony. It continues to wriggle, desperately trying to worm out of its place and get out. I can help it out by cutting the stomach open of the Gluttony but I do not want to risk my life on this one since I am quite suspicious of the moving creature inside.

I thought it would take a few more hours but the moment the stomach has formed a hole, I finally saw the cause of the wriggling. And the moment I saw it, I didn't hesitate to ignite the piece of cloth attached to the bottle of fuel and throw it to the newcomer creature.

CRASH!

"Shi shi shi shi shi shi!"

The newly born creature didn't even get to enjoy its time outside as it quickly burns to ashes and died.

I was not expecting that even the insect that swarms on a dead body or any rotten garbage will also appear in here with its mutated counterpart.

The Maggots.

The first maggot has retained its dirty and quite disgusting look. The way it crawls is also disgusting. The only difference this time with its normal counterparts is that unlike the normal maggots that only have their wormlike appearance, the maggot that came out is looking like a segmented worm. It also has a glossy appearance and some pores on its body. It retained its white color but it has now a tinge of brownish around its mouth area, and lastly, the maggot has a mouth that is looking like a saw circularly attached to its mouth.

Not only those things are looking different from the usual maggot. It is no longer something small and wriggles in a very bad way on every place the fly lays its eggs. It has the size and length of a normal refrigerator used in cooking shows. It is big and if you are not careful enough, this creature might have jumped and devoured me the instant I helped out.

It was a good thing I killed it immediately. I was also thankful that I didn't help it out from its first escape from Gluttony's stomach.

Knowing the nature of maggots, if there is one mutated version here on the ground and managed to escape the moment the former host dies, that means this is not the only maggot.

Pulling out another Molotov and igniting it, I throw the Molotov to the hole of the stomach and let the remains burn. I have thrown at least a total of 5 pieces of Molotov C.o.c.ktails inside the hole that I can smell the burnt flesh the more I throw more inside.

After a few minutes of doing so, I pulled out my Piyavka Sickle again and started cutting on its stomach without difficulty. Tearing it open, I finally confirmed that the Maggot that came out earlier is not alone. Not only that but I saw a few egg thingies attached on the walls of the stomach of Gluttony that I am now sure this was a breeding ground of the maggots.

I continue the dismantling process and managed to fully open its stomach to allow myself to get access to it and get to see the eggs of the maggots exposed completely. The Gluttony is big so I was able to get inside it, though I don't want to stay here since this looks like I got an access to an alien spaceship and I am currently traversing its fleshy corridors. To avoid the eggs from hatching, the AR15 did its wonderful work and cracked them all without effort after shooting several rounds of bullets on them. After doing so, I looked around more of it's body until I managed to find the Piyavka that I was looking for.

Compared to the Piyavka harvested on smaller infected, the Piyavka yield of the Gluttony is on par with the Piyavka that can be harvested on a Juggernaut, its just a little smaller than the former. After ensuring the death of the Gluttony and making sure no maggots and eggs are left behind, I am now free to continue my first assignment.

Day 11: 6:47 P.M

Osaka: Shitennoji Gakuen Junior and Senior High School: Rooftop

Melee: Brass Knuckles, Wakizashi, Kitchen Cleaver(Repaired and Enhanced), Piyavka Sickle

Guns: AR15(Scope and Suppressor attached) Colt 45, Beretta M9 Pistol, Hunting Shotgun

Explosives: Molotov C.o.c.ktails: 16 pieces

I managed to get into the rooftop without any hassle since I cleared out the undead in the vicinity and after setting up the prototype in a high place but inaccessible to anyone who doesn't have much skill in climbing, I turn on the gadget, which gives out a slight sound of "whirr" the moment it turned on. Tapping on my headphone twice, I contacted Nanami again.

"The prototype has been set," I said in a cold voice.

"That took a while but I won't complain since you have chosen a good spot of the Prototype. It is now functioning properly. I just needed to input some commands here and sent it to the Prototype... and... there we go! You have accomplished your mission this time!" Nanami happily said.

"Ugh, this is such a one-sided commission. I almost wasted my life trying to set this thing up."

"Don't worry, once you come back, lend me your MP3 first and I will download a few new songs of your favorite bands. How does that sound as a reward?"

"DEAL," I immediately agreed. That is a good reward for me.

"Alright, you can now return or you can do whatever you want before returning here."

After that, the music returned to my headphones. I am tired as f*ck after the dismantling process as the Gluttony is big. Now we are one step closer to start our reclamation process of Osaka from the clutches of the dead.
