Conquest of the Central District (4/5)

[DAY 49]

After the three heard and saw Neo, they froze.

"Neo..." Ninette said suddenly, breaking the silence of the three.

"It can't be... Ne... Neo, you?" asked Donatien, unable to comprehend Neo's new form.

When the group last saw Neo he still looked human, the slightly red eyes were a bit unnatural but not uncommon, in a time where the rich on Earth can genetically alter themselves and there children.

When the group therefore firstly saw Neo they thought that his parents had genetically modified him and they didn't find anything strange about it at first.

But after the facts piled up that something was wrong with Neo and they finally saw Neo's demonic armor, they initially thought that he must be an infected one and was just trying to fool them all.

But when Elly also changed and demonstrated her powers and they were sure that she wasn't infected, they often wondered if they misunderstood Neo and he wasn't infected at all.

However, Neo's current form gave them clear and open evidence.

Neo with his pale skin shich had countless small black cracks on it. His bright red eyes with a hint of purple in them. His body size, which was now over 2 meters without the armor. His razor sharp teeth and claws plus the fact that the undead in armor did his bidding.

Everything is now obvious.

"So you really aren't human, you're a monster... an undead" Meram said as he looked into Neo's eyes.

"Oh, did you just understand that now? I thought we were done with all the revelation stuff but it seems like you guys have some catching up to do on your part.'' Neo said with a wink.

"WHAT! You monster, what do you want from us! Did you come to end it? Then come on, we're not afraid!" screamed Ninette suddenly as she picked up her sniper rifle and aimed it at Neo.

The soldiers initially listened to the conversation confused and still afraid.

How did there strongest Group Hope, know about this being and what was their relationship to each other? But when Ninette said all that and challenged the supernatural monster in front of them to a fight, most picked themselves up and readied their weapons and all aimed at Neo and his Legion.

"KKKKKKKRRRRAAA" screamed Neo's Legion as they sensed the hostile intentions of the people on the wall. They instinctively want to protect Neo and attack the humans, but Neo again ordered them not to attack, at least not until Neo has some answers.

He doesn't care what happens to all the people here afterwards, he will treat them just like the criminals in the East District. As fodder.

For Neo these people are only important as food, to get stronger he will eat a lot more in the future and he is willing to do that to get stronger and power. Neo chose this path and will follow it to the end.

He will never get involved with other people again, from now on he will exist without his father and without his mother, alone with his Legion in this world.

The only thing humanity represents to him from now on is FOOD!

...

After the soldiers prepared to open fire on Neo and his Legion, they were suddenly stopped by someone in GB1 Battle Armor.

"Stop! That's enough, everyone put down your weapons immediately!" Shouted the armored person.

"This is Commander John Raita, obey his orders!" suddenly shouted another soldier in GB1 Battle Armor next to John.

The soldiers gradually obeyed his command and lowered their weapons, all except for Ninette, who continued to aim at Neo's head.

She looks through her sniper sight right at the relaxed and calm face of Neo who was seated on his Throne made out of his Miasma.

She thought for a long time about just pulling the trigger and ending it once and for all, but in the end, after repeated requests from Meram and Donatien. Ninette decided against it and lowered her gun.

Meanwhile, Camp Lumas leader John makes his way to the foremost position on the wall, where he looks closely at Neo and swallowed and afterwars spoke to him.

"Neo… why are you here again? We had a deal. I told you where your mother is and you promised not to come back as far as you know where she is. We looked all over the camp for the other one you were looking for, but just couldn't find him." John said while looking at Neo.

"If he's not here he can only be in the North District, in the Military Outpost or he's..." John continued but was interrupted by Neo demonic laugh.

"HAHAHAAHAHAH"

"John tell me you have two little daughters don't you?" asked Neo suddenly with a big smile.

"Family is a wonderful thing. Some would do evrything to protect them and others would destroy other people's families for theirs... However I'm neither person."

"I'm just something that wants revenge on whoever is responsible for the deaths of my family. So say Commander John, don't you have something to confess to me?" Neo asked as he bowed his head slightly,

"I... I don't know what you're talking about. Neo we can talk about anything so please calm down and lets talk about it like civilized people, get off that thing and we can... we can talk about everything so please..." John said in a nervous voice when he was suddenly interrupted by three loud gunshots.

"bang"

"bang"

"bang"

Made three shots from sniper rifles as the bullets flew towards Neo's head and chest.

The shots flew with such rapid speed that no one but Neo could see them, but before they could hit Neo they suddenly stopped in mid-air, after which the three shooters suddenly flew out of the cover of the nearby buildings and floated in the air too.

"Boom"

"Boom"

"Boom"

Made the bodies of the three snipers as they exploded. Neo's was smile gone by now and instead he gave all human on the wall, a cold and murderous look.

'Attack' thought Neo suddenly.

"BOOOOOOOM!!!"

Did it and a huge explosion shook the wall made of steel and wood which started to gradually collapse with many soldiers still on top of it.

Neo took the hover tank with him in advance and told Emily to wait for his command to shoot. Furthermore, Neo ordered Emily to shoot the part of the wall that kills the fewest people possible.

Afterwards, Neo ordered the second attack. For this, Neo gave smoke grenades to some of the Stage 1 Undead beforehand and ordered them to hide at the two buidlings on each of the street's side, afterwards they were commanded to throw down the smoke grenades and thus block the fighters' view more.

Afterwards, Neo ordered his Legion to advance and attack the fighters with at least three pairs and transform them if possible.

The soldiers, who just fell to the ground and lost their orientation for a short time, were then blinded again by smoke grenades and then suddenly the Undead in armor came and attacked them, with higher number, on after another was bitten or died.

Each undead needed about a magazine of ammo to penetrate the armor and kill the undead. In addition, there were also undead in their ranks who used swords, axes, spears and shields.

The combat power of the undead, suddenly turned from a dumb horde to an army with formations, weapons and tactics.

Therefore, over time, the number of dead increased and with it the number of Neo's Legion.

However in the end, some of the soldiers, including John and the Hope group, made it behind the second defensive. Only the man using the ax died in the group, the rest had minor wounds from the fall but were otherwise still fit for battle.

On the other hand, Neo's Legion grew by about 80,000 Undead from this one attack and he decided to not give the camp's fighters a break and time to regroup. Instead he will finish everything with one action.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Made several explosions and a high-rise building that the Camp had previously used as part of the first wall exploded and fell towards the Camps last defence.

"BOOOOM!"

With a loud sound, the building collapsed over the Camp, destroying a large part of the last wall there.

Neo then ordered his Undead Stage 1 with the Agility Trait to rush into the holes of the defenses and take out any soldiers there.

Afterwards, Neo sent his Elite into the Camp along with large parts of the Legion, meanwhile he flew in the air and took out the drones that the camp uses as a surveillance measure.

After Neo was finished with the drone problem. He ordered Emily to take out the other two tanks and helped her with some Undead he controlled from the air.

They ended up destroying the two tanks with some casualties among Neo's Stage 1 Mutant Undead, but nothing too precious died.

During the fight, Neo repeatedly examined the abilities of his new Stage 1 Mutant Undead and quickly found some undead with new Traits.

For example there was a Stage 1 in Neos Legion that can emit some kind of sound wave with his mouth and kill nearby enemies but also allies with it.

Another had the ability to pop out his endoskeleton and bonded with it along with other undead, who partially fused their bodies together and became one being.

Another undead had insect-like wings on its back, allowing it to fly briefly in the air and there were a bunch of more.

...

Neo was surprised and wondered what more bizarre and interesting abilities he might discover in the near future. But he decided to focus on the current fight first and to expand his Legion as much as possible.

He needs to create as many undead as possible, since the Horde from outside also started to break through the division.

The fight just turned into an all you can eat buffet and Neo was planning on eating as many as possible.

Said and done. Neo fell from the sky and threw himself into battle, killing with one hand, biting open throats with his maw and ripping out the hearts of those around him with his other hand.

Afterwards, Neo got lost in a massive eating coma for a while, killing anything alive that comes near him only to eat it afterwards.

First there were soldiers, then the doctors and paramedics in the back line, then it was the turn of the civilians. Men, women, children and old. Neo didn't discriminate between anyone and killed and ate them without even taking a breath.

...

At the end, most of the humans in the Camp had been killed in the massacre of the undead and especially by Neo.

"Sigh"

Neo sighed as he looked around and saw the destruction and tattered bodies on the ground.

Neo completely underestimated his own greed and lust for blood and flesh, he lost his control over his body and found himself in endless killing and couldn't stop.

Not that he would want to anyway. Well, except for John, whom he still wanted to torture and he was lucky with that.

Some of Neo's Legion Undead were currently chasing a group of humans, among the group was the Hope team and the commander of Camp Luma. There were also a few children and women.

They are all currently fighting their way through Neo's Legion, trying to get to a modified bus that they plan to use to escape.

Also nearby was the Mech that the camp hasn't used yet.

Out of caution, Neo ordered the Mech to be guarded and any human in the vicinity eliminated. While the Mech might not necessarily kill Neo, it would definitely harm his Legion a lot and make his hard work, worthless.

Neo who was completely covered in blood, then made his way towards Commander John.

…

The group consisting of Meram, Ninette, Donatien, Elly, John, his daughter Blythe who is about 10 years old and some other women and children and soldiers, fled after the massacre that Neo committed.

The monster was unstoppable, it destroys and eats everything around it without any mercy. The only thing that helps in front of such a beast is to flee.

And so everyone decided to flee to the vehicles in the Camp. There was a modified school bus that can withstand even heavy hail of bullets. John also secretly hid some of the camp's supplies there for himself.

The other members of the group Hope were all brutally killed by Neo and there were no other survivors besides the four who are here. The group didn't have time to help them and instead immediately rushed to the bus.

With a lot of effort and luck, the group made it to the bus, they all quickly got on and started the bus and ran over the undead nearby.

Only after they were a bit away from the undead Legion did they all calm down a bit.

But the calm passed quickly as a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of them.

Neo, using his miasma, flew right in front of their bus and kicked his foot into the front window of the car and the car suddenly overturned. Neo dodged fast enough, but the people in the car were less fortunate.

The whole car rocked and everyone inside pushed around and most of the children and women died or were injured.

In the end, only a handful of people survived. They quickly climbed out of the overturned bus and then saw Neo walking slowly towards them at the distance.

"It's all my fault... if only I had told the monster sooner." John said as he held his daughter in his arms, who meanwhile had a laceration on her head.

"I'll pay for what I did, but that doesn't mean you have to suffer for it, my little one. You're the only thing I have." John said as he kissed his unconscious daughter and gave her to Elly who was standing next to him.

"Run away, I'll buy you as much time as I can. Please just watch over my daughter" John said as he slowly got up and took his sword in his hand.

"Boss, we..:" a soldier said

"I said go away, just protect my daughter, please." John said loudly and then slowly walked towards Neo.

Elly just looked at the innocent little life in her arms and decided to flee with her.

...

Meanwhile, a conversation between the other three members of Hope took place.

"My two friends, I'll part with you two here too." Donatien said in a calm voice as he looked directly at Meram and Ninette.

As Donatien then stood up, Ninette quickly stopped him.

"What? Where are you going? We have to flee, come! If you fight that thing then…"

"Stop, Ninette, stop talking, I know what you're going to say and I'm already a dead man, so save the words." said Donatien as he showed his both arms.

There were deep and large bites on both arms with flesh hanging off and blood oozing out.

"I'm already dead. I just don't want to die as one of them, I want to die as a human! I'll buy you two and the others time." Donatien said as he picked up his shield and ax and headed towards Neo.

"I just want you to know that in my entire life, I have never regretted a moment with either of you. I love spending time with both of you, my friends, and to be able to protect you is already everything I need, so I ask you to continue living, at all costs!" Donatien said as he walked straight up to Neo.

"NO DONATIEN! Meram stop him, he will die! Meram, do you hear me?" asked Ninette as she got up and looked at Meram.

Then she saw Meram more closly. He was standing there completely paralyzed with tears in his eyes and a large wound on his chest that was still bleeding.

At that moment, Ninette understood the seriousness of the situation. She could lose everything here at this moment. Donatien, Meram, her live and the hope of saving their families back home.

So she decided quickly and grabed Meram and flee with him along with the others.

...

In the end only Donatien and John were there.

At first the two thought that Neo would quickly kill them and then chase the others, but it was quite the opposite.

Neo was only after the group because of John and wanted to kill him with his own hands for what he did.

When he saw that John was coming his way voluntarily, he didn't give a damn about the others.

They all stopped about five meters apart and Neo saw the two getting ready to fight.

"The moment of words is over, now it's time for Vengeance" Neo said in a diabolical voice as he looked at them both.

The two didn't reply and instead attacked Neo directly.

Neo reacted quickly and dodged John's attack and ripped off the man's entire arm with a good swing of his claw, and then jumped a few meters to the side to avoid Donatien's attack.

"AAAAAAAAHHH" John yelled, which sounded like music to Neo's ears.

Afterwards, Neo began to eat the bleeding arm, right in front of them.

With loud noises, Neo's teeth broke the bones and the arteries of the Arms.

Donatien then made his next attack and Neo was getting more and more annoyed with dodging those attacks.

All of a sudden Neo's sword materialized in his right hand and Neo quickly sliced ​​Donatien's head from his shoulders and the headless body of Donatien fell to the ground.

...

With the bothersome of the two dead, Neo began to enjoy the suffering and horrified screams of John for quite a while. Neo discovered his own true sadistic side in those moments while torturing John.

Yes, he loved seeing those once great figures and people who hurt him, suffer to the ground.

Bit by bit, Neo cut more and more of John and in the end, Neo ripped the still beating heart out of John's chest. With his other hand, he cracked open John's skull and bit off a large chunk, reveling in the sweet taste of revenge.

…

"A true king does not inherit the land but conquers the hearts of his people" Neo said as he looked at the heart of John in his right hand.

"Boom" the heart went as it was crushed.

"Truer words never became spoken… HAHAHAHAHAHAHA" laughed Neo as he was completely drenched in blood amidst corpses, organs, brains while his undead were feasting on them everywhere.

The scene looked like it was taken from the depths of hell and only the ninth and final circle of hell even came close to the bloodbath.
