Anime: About That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

Pat... pat...

In the dark and damp sewer, several figures were cautiously moving forward.

They would occasionally stop, their faces full of vigilance as they looked around, and only dared to continue after confirming that there was nothing unusual.

The soft touch from the ground beneath their feet would have terrified them if it were a few months ago, but now everyone was used to it, and some even swallowed subconsciously when they saw the fleshy walls.

Since a few months ago, the originally peaceful world had suddenly undergone a strange change.

On that day, all humans who directly looked at the sun were mutated into bloodthirsty monsters, and not only humans, but also animals, plants, and even lifeless buildings began to deform.

In the disaster, the surviving humans discovered that the ground was no longer safe, and the monsters were completely different from the weaklings in the movies.

The surviving humans could only hide in the sewers where the sun couldn't reach, eking out a meager existence.

But it was impossible to hide in the sewers forever.

While water could be obtained by purifying the sewage in the sewers, obtaining food required going to the surface to search in those deformed cities.

During this period, some people, driven by hunger, had roasted and eaten the earth that had mutated into meat chunks, but before they could eat much, that person turned into a monster in front of everyone.

In the end, the initial group of survivors escaped only after paying the price of losing more than half of their number.

"Mr. Takeya, are you sure it's really safe here?"

At this moment, a middle-aged uncle with a large belly raised his head and asked the young man in front.

This time, all the food they had collected before had been used up, and the place where they were originally hiding was beginning to deform faster, so they had no choice but to leave their original base for the sake of their lives.

They planned to go to the surface, collect enough food, and then hide in the deeper parts of the sewer.

"Yes, it's definitely safe.

I came here specifically to check before."

In front, a sunny and handsome young man turned his head and said with a confident look, but in the dark environment, no one noticed a gloomy look flashing in his eyes.

After receiving the assurance from the young man named Takeya, the faces of the others showed a relaxed expression, and then they continued to walk forward.

Along the way, although strange noises kept coming from the distance, at least they didn't encounter those deformed monsters.

"By the way, Mr. Mimura, you said before that you were willing to sacrifice your life for everyone, right?"

Suddenly, the young man in front turned his head and asked the pot-bellied man with a smile, and the man who was suddenly called by name showed a look of horror on his face, and subconsciously looked at the others around him, but everyone lowered their heads and didn't speak when he looked over.

"Ta... Takeya-kun, you... you're joking, right?"

Seeing this, the pot-bellied man wiped the cold sweat from his head and asked with a humble smile on his face.

Although she had indeed said such things not long ago in order to survive, it was just talk, how could it be real?

"I'm not joking."

"Don't... don't come over, at worst, everyone will die together..."

Just as the pot-bellied man looked at Takeya's approaching figure, a ferocious expression appeared on his face, and he subconsciously wanted to threaten the other party.

In this situation, as long as he shouted, he would definitely attract those wandering monsters, and then everyone would die.

However, just as the pot-bellied man opened his mouth, several figures around him pounced directly, skillfully covering his mouth, preventing him from shouting.

It could be seen that the movements of several people were extremely skilled, as if they had done it many times.

Puchi!

In the next second, the pupils of the struggling man dilated suddenly, staring at the people in front of him, the severe pain in his chest was gradually drawing away the power in his body, and after more than ten seconds, the pot-bellied man completely lost his life.

"Mr. Mimura, everyone will thank you for your contribution, because of you we can continue to live."

Takeya looked at the man who died with his eyes wide open and said hypocritically, then signaled the others to clean up the blood on their bodies, and then raised Mimura's body and continued to walk forward cautiously.

At the corner at the end of the sewer, arm-thick tentacles on the fleshy walls were waving aimlessly.

If you ignore their indescribable appearance, they look like harmless aquatic plants.

"Throw it over!"

After Takeya discovered that the situation here was not much different from a few days ago, a trace of relief finally appeared on his face, and then he waved his hand to show the others to throw the body over, and after seeing all the tentacles plunged into the body.

Takeya at the front waved his hand and was the first to walk towards the exit not far from the tentacles.

After discovering the situation here a few days ago, Takeya had already thought of a safe way to pass through.

As long as one person's body is used as bait to attract those tentacles, then they can safely pass through here as long as they are careful.

In the end, everyone secretly decided to let the pot-bellied man be the bait, which is why the previous thing happened.

"Let's go!"

Looking at the tentacles close at hand, Takeya lowered his voice and said, speeding up his pace towards the exit.

After successfully entering the exit, Takeya dared to turn his head to look at the others, but in the next second, Takeya's pupils shrank to the extreme, and he turned around and left without hesitation.

He had just seen Mimura's body being devoured at a speed completely beyond his expectations, and after realizing the danger, Takeya abandoned the remaining people without hesitation.

The few people who were walking past the tentacles also noticed that the surrounding tentacles began to become active, and they lowered their heads and hurried forward.

The second, the third, the fourth, and soon three people safely entered the exit.

The two girls at the end looked at the backs of their companions leaving without hesitation, and their faces suddenly became anxious, especially when they noticed the more and more active tentacles beside them, they accelerated again, this time they couldn't care about being secretive.

'It's too late!'

The girl running at the end looked at the many tentacles that had raised their heads like poisonous snakes as they ran, and the original Mimura's body had completely disappeared.

"Sorry, Miko, I want to live!"

Realizing that there was not enough time for her to pass through here, the last girl raised her head and stared at her best friend in front of her.

As long as she was there as bait, she would definitely survive.

She believed that Miko would definitely understand her, after all, they were the best of friends, and they had promised to live together in this crazy world.

Now, if she died here, Miko would definitely be so sad that she wouldn't want to live alone anymore.

Then it would be better to fulfill herself and become bait to buy her enough time, she believed that Miko's relationship with her was so good that she wouldn't mind.

Thinking of this, the girl running at the back revealed a vicious look in her eyes, and she accelerated towards Meizi in front. At the same time, she stretched out her hand to grab her, intending to push her behind as bait.

"Meizi, you!"

"Sorry, Riko, I want to live."

Just as the girl at the very back was about to succeed, Meizi in front suddenly turned around with a hint of apology on her face, but her feet didn't hesitate at all. She directly kicked her best friend in the stomach, watching her fall into the many tentacles with a face full of disbelief.

"Meizi, save... save me... Ahhhhh!"

Falling into the numerous tentacles, Riko stretched out her hand to beg for help, but in the next second, tentacles pierced into her body and began to devour her. Her shrill screams mixed with the smell of blood echoed towards the depths of the sewer.

"Riko, we are the best of friends. You would definitely be willing to die for me, right!"

Meizi had a broken smile on her face as she watched her good friend being devoured bit by bit. Then, without hesitation, she turned around and ran towards the exit. In this collapsing world, humans have become capable of anything to survive. The darkness once hidden under the veneer of civilization has completely erupted.

The evil within human nature will be completely released when it comes to survival.

"Is she here?"

Far from the exit, Zhuye looked at Meizi, who was staggering towards him, and said expressionlessly. As for Riko, who hadn't arrived yet, both he and the others chose to ignore her. They had clearly heard her previous screams.

"Zhuye-kun, Riko... Riko was eaten by... by that monster to save me, sob sob sob!"

Meizi, who had just run over, threw herself into Zhuye's arms and buried her face in his chest, pretending to cry. Seeing this, the others guessed what had happened, but they still pretended to comfort her.

"Alright, Meizi, don't cry. Don't let San Cun-kun and Riko's sacrifices be in vain. We must live on together with their hope."

"Yeah!"

In this way, the reunited team continued to move forward. Soon, a glimmer of light appeared in the dark sewer ahead. The silver moonlight shone into the sewer through the opening, but the faces of everyone present changed drastically.

They, who once thought they were safe at night, witnessed someone distorting into a monster under the moonlight.

In just a few months, the survivors had summarized three absolute taboos: One, 'Never be exposed to the light of the sun or moon.' Two, 'Do not have a trace of blood on your body, and try not to make too much noise at ordinary times.'

Three, which is the most important, 'Never look directly at the sun or moon.'

"I trust I don't need to say more about what to do."

Zhuye, at the front of the team, said to everyone. Then, he took out a clearly modified piece of clothing from his backpack and wrapped his entire body in it. Finally, he took out a large hat and put it on his head.

The others were also doing the same thing in a similar manner. A few minutes later, everyone present had changed their outfits.

"Remember, our goal is the underground warehouse not far from the exit. It's deep underground, so even if there is distortion, it will at most become a fleshy mess. It definitely hasn't mutated into a monster. The food inside should still be fine. Once we collect enough supplies, we will return here immediately."

"Yes!"

The others nodded vigorously. Then, they carefully climbed up the ladder and poked their heads out of the sewer opening. After seeing that there were no wandering monsters around, they cautiously crawled out, crouching low.

Safe!

Zhuye made a safe gesture. Then, he recalled the surrounding scenery. Although the surroundings had changed drastically after the distortion, he, who had lived here for more than ten years, could still find a trace of the past. Then, he led everyone towards their destination.

However, if they looked up at this moment, they would find that countless Original Sin monsters were circling in the sky. Pairs of bloodthirsty eyes were staring at the few people below who were being as careful as mice. And on the largest Original Sin monster, a petite and lovely figure was sitting there.

"What game are they playing? It looks interesting."

Luo Yina stared at the few people below. She had noticed them coming out of the sewer before. Out of curiosity, she didn't let the Original Sin monsters tear them apart. Instead, she let them hide. Luo Yina planned to see what these people wanted to do, to pass her boring time.

After all, three days ago, she, whose magic power had reached its limit, chose to return to this planet. She casually extracted tens of millions of stored souls from the Original Sin monsters. After absorbing them, she successfully awakened and became a true Demon Lord.

It's just that her master and Sister Sally are both staying on that delicious big fireball, and Luo Yina can't get in, so she wants to find something interesting to play with because she is bored.

"Oh, is that the direction of their destination? Let me see?"

A few minutes later, Luo Yina had already discovered the destination of the humans below. Then, she raised her head and looked over there, her vision penetrating the earth to see the underground warehouse located deep underground. After seeing the large amount of food and water piled up inside, a mischievous smile appeared on her cute little face.

Then, Luo Yina's figure disappeared from the top of the Original Sin monster's head.

On the other side, Zhuye and the others successfully approached the entrance of the underground warehouse. They hadn't encountered those monsters along the way, which made him feel extremely fortunate and happy. Looking at the entrance of the underground warehouse in front of him, with the things inside, they at least had hope of surviving.

"Let's go!"

After saying that, Zhuye was the first to squeeze into the entrance of the underground warehouse. A few minutes later, a group of people arrived in front of a rolling shutter door. Looking at the rolling shutter door that hadn't been distorted yet, they all showed happy expressions. This meant that the supplies inside must not have been affected yet.

"But, Zhuye, how do we get in now?"

"There are independent power generation facilities inside. As long as we find the door opening button, we can go straight in."

As Zhuye spoke, he began to grope around, looking for the entrance button. They were located on the second floor of the original underground warehouse, so there must be a button here to open the door in front of them. However, they couldn't find it after searching for a long time.

"Could it be?"

The next second, Zhuye looked at the closed rolling shutter door. After hesitating for a few seconds, he stepped forward and gently knocked a few times.

"Excuse me, is there anyone inside?"

"Who! Who's outside? Is that you, brother?"

Suddenly, a childish voice came from inside the rolling shutter door, filled with fear and anticipation. Hearing this voice, the minds of the people present subconsciously conjured up an image of a little girl with a scared face, standing on the other side of the rolling shutter door.
