Chapter 297 - The Deadly Twin Variants Third Part

Day 328: 12:00 P.M

Osaka Streets

Equipment: Melee: Piyavka Machete, Piyavka Cleaver

Gun: AR15, Beretta M9 Pistol

(Kyosei's View)

It turns out that the Twin Variants are very efficient in removing the undead obstacles on the road and can mince them to pieces like they were just a joke. They were riding on the back of the Pickup truck but they still managed to kill the undead on the streets in range.

"Holy sh*t, is this for real? Are they not an enemy?" Izayoi rubs his palms together to lower his nervousness.

"If they are, they should have already killed us without hesitation earlier but they have decided to talk to us. Also, they seemed to be more respectful towards Kyosei so that must be the reason," Cindy said.

"But this female variant just keeps on staring at me! I don't think I like the feeling of being looked at!"

"Sheesh, just shut it up, Izayoi. I know you are scared but deal with it! We have no choice but to keep ourselves brave and keep a lookout for them."

I just remained quiet as I try to analyze what are the real intentions of the two variants and if they came from real humans or something else and just formed into their form of human selves.

Although they are transparent in emotion, they seemed to have been hiding something that they refuse to say. We can't even be sure whether they are thinking something bad about us or they are telling the truth.

One thing is for sure, they seemed to see me in high regard and keeps on calling me the "Singularity". There are possible meanings on why they call me the singularity but I am not sure which is the real meaning of everything.

I continue the drive as we are about to reach the base.

...

Osaka: Blood Battalion Base

Equipment: Melee: Piyavka Machete, Piyavka Cleaver

Gun: AR15, Beretta M9 Pistol

(Kyosei's View)

Before we enter the base, I contacted Nanami on my headphone and also to help relay that the two riding in our car is not an enemy.

Tapping my headphone, I connected to Nanami immediately.

"Kyosei? Are you guys back already?"

"Yeah. We have already the thing that you needed in our hands. Also, we have some peculiar subjects with us. Please by any means, do not shoot them so that they won't show hostility." I said to them.

"Okay, we understand. We will be going to open the gates."

Once the gate is fully open, I slowly drive the car back inside. The soldiers were surprised to see the variants and have their eyes set on them. Even some of the girls and some of my original members of the blood battalion but didn't say anything and just stood there, watching us.

Once we arrive at the garage, Shu welcomed us but got surprised when they saw the two for the first time.

"Holy sh*t, a variant!" 

Shu immediately readies his Piyavka weapons but I immediately blocked him.

"Don't attack, they are not dangerous and they don't kill people. Lay down your weapons."

Shu was confused at first but since I stopped him, he put down his weapons and looked at the two variants.

"You have our gratitude for not showing hostility and also for following the orders of the Singularity without hesitation," Roku said and bowed like a gentleman, only if his different appearance won't break it.

"What is going on Kyosei? How come they can talk even though they are variants?! Are they some sort of Intelligent undead?"

"Sort of. I don't know if that was the real case of this. But I will discuss that later on, we still needed them to go to the Main HQ."

"Do we have to go too?" Izayoi asked.

"Of course, the two of you are with me and as a witness, it would be necessary for the two of you to give testimonies."

"Figures," Cindy said, shrugging.

Izayoi looked at the two variants and Nana stares back at him causing him to feel pins and nervous at the same time.

...

We led the two variants to the HQ and inside of the room, revealed Haru, Nanami, Chie, Dr.Kogure, Miyuki and Eve.

The moment the two entered, the two fixated their eyes on Eve and immediately bowed down to her.

"We are greeting the Arbiter of End and Beginnings, we are the twin variants."

Eve was a little bit spooked and confused at them all of a sudden that she looked at Miyuki for any sort of answer she would need to give to the kid.

"Arbiter of End and Beginning?" Chie looked confused at the two.

"This is interesting, to think a variant is capable of doing things like this with human-like way of doing so. They even show some qualities only humans can show!" Dr. Kogure said.

"Now, now, doctor. We will go to you two later so we will be taking our time with the two of you," Nanami said.

"Are you perhaps curious on our little powers?" Nana asked at Nanami.

"I am a little curious but that can wait. We have a few questions we would like to ask. Is it okay?" Nanami asked the two.

"We don't mind it. As long as the party remained neutral and friendly to us, we will not hesitate to answer," Roku said.

"Okay then, what are the names of you both?" Nanami asked.

"I am Roku and this is Nana, my twin sister."

"Good. Now then, can you tell us the difference between the two of you and how the two of you are have come to us."

The two variants continued talking to Nanam and she continue to record everthing.

While they are talking, the walkie talkie of Haru and answered it.

"Sir! Reporting! We are surrounded by somw thugs demanding money and girls to be surrendered if we wanted to comply or die. Over."

"Thugs again?" Haru slams the telephone.

Then, the two looked at Haru and seems to notice the situation.

"If there are some enemies outside, that threatens the singularity and the arbiter. Since you are asking what kind of things we can do, I think this is the best time to show it off against them," Roku said with his never changing expression.

.....

Hey, there this is the Undead Corner once again, introducing to the new undead that was mentioned in the story.

Today, it will be the Swordsman and the Headaches.

1. Swordsman

Chapter Appearance: Chapter 269

Danger Level:

Horde: Unknown

Night Rage Single: Level 9

Night Rage Horde: Unknown

Individuals before they became this creature: Homeless People

Description:

They are one of the simplest looking undead variants out of all the variants that appeared with only the peculiar trait present on them are their sword-looking hands. They might look like frail beings that would die in one hit but they are much complicated than they look.

Despite being slow when alone, once they spot a human, they will pursue them without stopping and can even outrun a moving car or truck at full speed.

They are too dangerous and can even cut through bullets without any problem. Only one thing is their weakness and that would be whistle sounds. For some reason, they will cower in fear the moment a whistle blow can be heard. Once they started to cower, strike your chance and kill it with a gun or a melee weapon before it can react to avoid it from stopping your attacks.

2. Headaches

Chapter Appearance: Mentioned in chapter 269, actual appearance during chapter 290 and 291

Danger Level:

Single: Level 4

Horde: Level 7

Night Rage Single: Level 4

Night Rage Horde: Level 7

Individuals before they became this creature: Infected birds

These feathered creatures terrify people at night due to their appearance and also the danger they possess. Alone, they aren't that dangerous. Normal weapons and normal ones that can eliminate the dead can also eliminate them. The main reason they are called the Headache is due to their appearance and their ways of attacking.

They are just human heads with feathers, wings and claws of a bird appearance wise but they don't originate from humans but from the birds. As for their heads, they are the entire human head in appearance though in studies, it was revealed that they are the bird's head that has morphed into the head of a human. It is also some sort of mutation on them due to their human meat intake. It would be for the best of your sanity to not see them fly in the sky as their appearance alone can rify countless of individuals.

As for killing them, they are good to be killed using ranged weapons but they are somewhat resistant to physical damage like from the melee.
