(Kyosei's View)

We occasionally find a few horde of undead in the way but its not really a problem as they can be avoided or just crushed down. Actually, we are going back to Namba but we are not going to the area where we found Souichi and the others. We have known that the undead are almost concentrated in that area and if we moved in there, we would be wasting lots of bullets.

"Kyosei. I have contacted Haru of the SDF and they are currently holding up into the Tsutenkaku tower. Also, he also stated that the behemoth is currently in slumber in Tennoji Park(1). They suffered lots of losses and they welcome any kind of help from any survivors," Nanami reported.

"Tsutenkaku Tower? They have fled that far already? Then that means that the Behemoth and the undead had grown far strong already?" I frowned.

From what I can remember, according to Nanami, they are still at Dotonbori(2). I did not expect that they would be pushed too far reaching Tsutenkaku tower. Is the Behemoth getting stronger as days passes by? I think I was just dreaming but it seems like the Behemoth seems to be really tenacious. In fact it has already broken through from the usual undead behavior that we already have seen this past few days.

Just by seeing those undead that have mutated from the behemoth to the fact that it is not affected from the bullets, its seems that the dead gets stronger and stronger as time pass by. Just as I was thinking about this things, I was interrupted by Kaito. The f*ck, I already noticed that I was always interrupted by him whenever I was thinking. Did he really do it for the purpose of breaking my concentration or just for the fact that I am too focused on my own that I forgot what is happening already? Anyways, I find it annoying but I did not voice it out.

"Its another set of those jelly blob of undead!" Kaito shouted.

My ears perked up from this. Due to the situation where I can only be the one who can destroy them via flamethrower, I was being called in duty to work.

"Annoying pests..." I grumbled and reached out to the flamethrower on the backseat. Satsuki helped me on taking the flamethrower so that the gas won't leak out.

"Kyosei, don't just randomly pull out the flamethrower! You might destroy the flamethrower that way!" Satsuki grumbled.

"Geh..." I frowned. I was scolded... I never expected that.

I checked the tank of the flamethrower and seeing it ready, I geared up and ready myself. The jelly blobs of undead where also accompanied with a few normal undead. Therefore, I ordered once again from them to back me up.

Moving forward, I seemed to think that the blob of undead seems more disgusting than the gore I always see. Although it was like that, I think I was about to puke just by looking at their disgusting blob movements that made me uncomfortable.

Pulling the trigger, the flamethrower released a very strong flame that burns the nearby blob undead into a jelly puddle. The normal undead are also caught up but unlike the blob undead that will stop whenever they touch the blazing flame, the normal undead keeps on moving. Luckily, with the help of the others sniping the normal undead out, I was able to keep my battle stance easy and continuous.

"Kyosei! The jelly blob seems to be increasing!" Nanami shouted in the radio transceiver.

"Seriously?!" I frowned. I have been burning the undead blobs again and again but she said that the undead are all increasing? Just f*ck, what is happening?

I pulled out a grenade and pulls out its pin before throwing it to the horde. At least that would help on destroying the horde. Of course, I continue releasing the flamethrower a hot flame that devours the dead before a strong explosion occurred.

BANG!

I frowned at the sound. Unlike the usual explosion I heard last time, the explosion seems to be muffled and compressed. This time, Nanami once again spoke in the radio.

"Kyosei! The blobs seems immune to the explosions!" Nanami shouted.

I frowned from this comment. Immune?! Then that explosion earlier was muffled due to the fact that the undead blobs are able to stop the explosion? F*CK! Does that mean the only way to beat them up is by the flamethrower? But the gas is getting lower due to my continuous release!

Then, Kaito goes outside the car carrying a bottle with cloth on its tip that is being burned by flames.

"Kyosei, you know that grenades are not the only throwable explosive to use!" Kaito handed me the bottle. Of course, I knew it but my mind had been clouded by the problems that I have forgotten the Molotov Cocktail.

"Damn it, due to the fact that I have too many problems, I forgotten this homemade explosive already."

The burning cloth still continues to burn and before it reaches to the point of burning, I have thrown the bottle to the horde.

Crash!

Unlike the grenade, the bottle crashing to the ground became the catalyst for the burning undead to burn and evaporate before turning into a small puddle. The damage was immense, helping a lot on taking down a lot of undead that tried to attack me and the group. Of course, I did not stop my flamethrower attack.

Kaito also helped me by throwing the grenades one by one to the horde. And all I can say facing these jelly blobs of undead. They are pretty annoying and can be f*cking sh*t at times. I wish that they won't be appearing in the future.
