Chapter 161: Strange Rooster
Chapter 161: Strange Rooster
A rooster saw that new “lucky humans” had arrived and looked in their direction.
‘I hope these lucky new humans brought more corn,’ the rooster contemplated to himself.
He was a little white, but with a distinction: On the rooster’s back, strangely, there was a golden tree drawn. And incredible as it may seem, it was drawn with golden feathers, and it didn’t look like it was painted at all, but rather, something natural.
In the two-story wooden house, when the pair of brothers got off the bike, they heard a booming voice.
“You useless scoundrel! You left our children and ran away! I am going to pick them up, even if I die! I would rather die than abandon my children!” The boys’ mother’s voice shocked them.
*
When she woke up after passing out, she saw that she was at her parents’ house. In addition, she went white as a sheet when she remembered what happened to one of her children. It was even worse when that reality came to light. She stood up shakily from fear and wanted to look for her son, thinking it was all a bad dream. However, arriving in the room, she saw only her husband.
“Where are our children!?” she yelled at him.
“I didn’t have a choice, I didn’t have a choice…” the man said with vacillating eyes. In front of him, two elderly people were looking him down fiercely.
The boys’ grandmother said angrily, “That bastard has abandoned his children!”
“H-How so?” The boys’ mother was confused. She looked at her husband and saw guilt in his eyes. She thought for a while and asked in a shaky voice, “What happened, was it real? Our son was kidnapped by a green monster and our other two children were abandoned by you in order to get away?”
“My love, no, it’s not like that! I was terrified when I heard a scream and ended up running away in fear. But- but I had no choice! It was that or we would all die?!” The man tried to justify why he ran away.

“You useless scoundrel! You left our children and ran away! I am going to pick them up, even if I die! I would rather die than abandon my children!” She came out the door, smoking with rage. If it weren’t for the fact that she wanted to look for her children, she would have strangled her husband to death.
“We are going with you, daughter.” The two elderly people were also seething. They couldn’t believe that their son-in-law was such a person.
“…”
“Boys! My sons!” Hearing the sound of a motorcycle and seeing her two boys getting off the motorcycle, the woman was ecstatic. She screamed loudly and ran towards them with tears and mucus dripping down her face. She felt relieved, and at the same time disturbed and frightened to learn that one of her sons was truly missing.
“Mom…” Mario and Henson’s eyes were red from crying, especially Mario. He hugged his mother and wept like a child.
“Mom, I’m going back to the house. Brian may still be alive!” Henson said. He felt this was truly possible, and despite being the youngest of the three brothers, he was the strongest and the smartest. He was almost 190 cm tall and had a heavily trained body.
As for Mario, he was thinner and 170 cm tall and was quite fearful. It was more logical to leave him at his grandparents’ house and try to take a chance alone in finding his brother. After all, the police and even the army must already be in place. Maybe, just maybe, Brian was still alive.
“I will go along!” his mother said and added, “Mother, father, stay and expel that miserable man from here. We are taking the car; after all, it was bought with my money! And send that fret away, otherwise, when I get back, I swear to God I will kill him.”
Snorting, she got in the car. The keys were still in the ignition since Roger was afraid that the monsters would appear and left the key in the car in case he needed to escape.
Without waiting for her parents to say any comment, Silvana started the car, and Henson got in the car as well.

Luan received the news through his cell phone application. He knew that in a place not far away a dimensional crack had opened and insect-like monsters appeared.
“Ingrid, I’m going to go first. Don’t forget, don’t take off your mask under any circumstances, as you will need to demonstrate more powers than before,” Luan warned.
“Yes.” Ingrid now looked like a young woman with long red hair and dark eyes. Her mask had a simple appearance, being purely white and covering the face completely. Only the eyes, mouth, and nose were exposed. She also wore the red armor that was quite tight in her perfect curves.
The instant that Luan created clouds below his feet, he flew through the air towards the place where the monsters were appearing. Meanwhile, Ingrid began to follow behind him, running at full speed.
The reason they were going there separately was so as not to have people think they were together or knew each other. It was easier to hide their identity that way.
Rubbing his eyes, a policeman who shot the insects saw something that was normally impossible to believe could happen, and difficult to believe had he not seen it with his eyes. He shouted for the attention of the other policemen, “Hey, am I seeing things? Is that a human standing over a flying cloud over there?”
The instant they looked in the direction the policeman pointed and also saw the masked man on top of a cloud, they were stunned in disbelief. In addition, the speed was surprising and when they saw him holding a spear and with quick movements kill the flying insects, everyone’s hearts began to beat quickly!
It was an exciting sight – a man with a spear in a flying cloud, cutting the giant insects as if they were cheese. It was as if he were a celestial being going down to earth to purge its evils. Each movement of the spear created at least 1 dead insect.
What was most impressive was when something like a magic boomerang cut an insect in half. The police watching opened their mouths so wide that a chicken egg could have fit inside each one. Another thing that made them happy and agitated at the same time was that at the same time that he killed the insect monsters, he also saved the people captured by the insects and made them float in clouds and descend to the ground.
“Quick, send these people to the hospital!” shouted a police chief.
“If you have a doctor at the scene, help organize the situation. Don’t worry, we’ll protect you,” said a man in army clothes. In his hand, he had a heavy gun with a fire rate of 600 rounds/minute.
“H-Hi, I’m Maria Elena. I am an assistant physician.” A woman in her 30’s spoke up among the survivors.
“Okay, follow me and help save some of these people,” the man spoke respectfully to her.
“Y-Yes.” The woman stammered a little but did not dare to be slow in keeping up.
The heavily armed army soldiers surrounded the woman and paved the way for her to the injured people, and under the guidance of the attending physician, the people were cared for and carried to safety while waiting for the ambulance. Those with the most urgent injuries were transported by the police to the hospital.
What Maria Elena did not imagine was that because of her heroic act, being willing to speak up and help even at the risk of her life, despite being protected by the army, some people had filmed these actions, and because of that, she was very famous on the internet and several hospitals would soon want to recruit her as a full-time doctor.
