Chapter 161 - Ravenous

As their discipline and lineup faltered for the briefest of moments, suddenly a dark shadow, covered in a faint crimson hue as well as blood leaped out from the dark and pounced directly onto the helpless, stumbled guard.

"F*ck! Watch out dude!" The guard closest to him shook in fright and called out. He cursed madly, and with haste aimed his military shotgun at the attacker ready to shoot... yet when he pulled the trigger, there was no sound, no blazing bright fire exploding from the far end of the medium length barrel.

All they could hear was the unmistakable clanking of the empty cartridge. The gun was out of ammunition!

Panicked, he shakily reached for his side pocket to take out a handful of more shotgun shells for his weapon. In his hurry, some of the shells fell on the ground as he took them out from his pocket with his shaking hands. The man then attempted to quickly reload his shotgun with the few shells he had managed to grab with his hand.
