I Added Everything to Strength

Chapter 8: The Nightmare Tapir

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Warning signs had been placed near the intersection of Xiushui Road and Yunqing Road. When He Mu arrived there, no one was around and there were only bright streetlights.

After decades of disasters, ordinary people became cautious toward monsters.

Anything that had something to do with monsters was avoided by them at all costs.

This road was located in the industrial area. Late at night, there were often some night workers passing by. Perhaps today…

However, He Mu wasn’t impatient either.

After spending 18 years in a wheelchair, his patience had reached a very high level.

Sitting on the curb by the street lamp, He Mu took out his cell phone and checked on the specifics of this mission.

Three crashes in three days. Happened at 1 a.m., 1:30 a.m., and 2 a.m…. Of the three crashes, two were bicycles slamming into cars, and one was a battery-powered vehicle hitting a wall…

Tapping on the relevant surveillance videos, He Mu saw the incidents of the two bicycles. The two bicycles intersected with cars and suddenly swerved violently, crashing into the cars.

As for the battery-powered vehicle, it was even more outrageous. The rider slammed straight into the wall and fell hard on the ground.

Afterwards, the person said he didn’t even see a wall there.

This abnormal behavior did seem to reflect him suffering from mental interference.

After reading the information, He Mu closed his eyes.

In his mind emerged images of monsters one after another. Without exception, all these monsters had the ability to interfere with one’s mind.

There are a total of six types of monsters that could possibly appear in the city. All of them are Type 2 monsters.

He Mu silently counted in his head.

Monsters were divided into Type 1, 2, and 3.

Type 1 referred to monsters that didn’t have a bit of the Earth’s biological genes. The strength of these monsters were incredibly powerful, and they had probably descended from the moon on the meteorite.

Type 2 monsters contained the genes of Type 1 monsters, as well as genes of Earth’s creatures. There were strong and weak Type 2 monsters. Most of them were Earth’s creatures that had absorbed the genes of Type 1 monsters, as well as the offspring they later gave birth to.

As for Type 3 monsters, they were entirely Earth’s creatures that had absorbed the red mist and mutated.

There were more than 10 kinds of monsters with the ability to interfere with the mind as recorded in “Monster Illustrations”. They were either Type 1 or Type 2 monsters.

But Type 1 monsters were too powerful. If they were really to appear in the city, these incidents definitely wouldn’t be as simple as car accidents.

Putting aside the Type 1 monsters, only six kinds of Type 2 monsters were left.

“The monitoring of the scene found no trace of monsters… Which meant that the monster is small in size… And great at hiding.”

He Mu silently used the elimination method and finally ruled out all but two kinds of monsters.

One was the Nightmare Tapir with a combat power of 2, and basically never came out during the day.

The other was the Psychedelic Butterfly and had no combat power.

Psychedelic Butterfly…

He Mu subconsciously raised his head and looked at the big tree on the roadside.

Like chameleons, Psychedelic Butterflies could change their color according to their environment.

This kind of monster usually loved to live in big trees with lush foliage, turning itself green and blend into the leaves.

…

The night was getting darker. He Mu stayed under the street light for more than an hour, and didn’t find any clues.

At that moment, a battery-powered vehicle slowly approached.

The driver was a middle-aged man donned in a gray overalls. After seeing the warning signs by the roadside, his face immediately turned pale.

He shifted his gaze to He Mu who sat under the streetlamp and almost had a fright. He instantly shrieked: “Oh God!”, and accelerated away from the intersection.

Seeing this scene, He Mu was slightly stunned.

A moment later, he realized what was wrong.

In the middle of the night, in a place lurking with monsters, him being seated alone on the curb was indeed terrifying.

What was worse was that his facial complexion was also rather fair.

Shaking his head, He Mu took out his cell phone and searched for Psychedelic Butterflies and Nightmare Tapirs, checking to see if the information on these two monsters had been updated.

Besides, holding a cell phone in his hand made him look more like a human.

Not long after, another small vehicle drove over in the distance.

The passengers in the car seemed to be unaware of the recent accidents at this intersection, and after seeing the warning signs, they accelerated significantly.

But when the car drove to the side of He Mu, it suddenly stopped.

Immediately after, the window rolled down, and a young man in his 20s poked his head out.

“Hey! Buddy, it’s not safe here. How about I give you a lift?”

He Mu smiled and stood up, taking out his ID.

“Thanks a lot, but I’m a member of the Red Mist Alliance, and I’m here on a mission.”

After seeing that ID, the young man’s eyes widened abruptly, before saying in an admiring tone: “A Red Mist Fighter at such a young age? Dude, you’re awesome! In that case, I’m leaving. Take care!”

He Mu nodded in acknowledgment.

The small car rolled up its window and drove away from the intersection, and there were no problems all the way through.

He Mu continued to sit on the curb without the slightest impatience.

Not only that, but he also became calmer in the middle of the night.

In fact, both the Nightmare Tapir and Psychedelic Butterfly weren’t that intelligent to avoid harm, much less not show up when they saw him sitting here.

So all he needed to do was wait patiently.

He could always continue to wait tomorrow if they didn’t show up today.

…

Just like this another three hours had passed. It was close to four in the morning and fog came to form.

Over the past three hours more than a dozen people had gone through this intersection, and there was nothing unusual.

He Mu continued to sit on the curb quietly. After so long, cold dews had already soaked his clothes. He was like an old fisherman on the river, holding the fishing rod like a still mountain.

At that moment, the wheels of a bicycle sounded not far away.

He Mu raised his head. This time, it was a young woman clad in blue overalls riding a bicycle. She was probably heading home after finishing the night shift.

As the young woman got closer and closer, He Mu’s pupils contracted slightly. The young woman seemed very strange. Her gaze was neither not on the road in front of her, nor on the “strange man” on the curb. On the contrary, she stared at the street lamp ahead.

Something’s wrong.

He Mu stood up abruptly, at which a piercing screech suddenly reached his ears and left him somewhat uncomfortable.

An ultrasonic sound that ordinary people couldn’t hear… The Nightmare Tapir.

He Mu subconsciously covered his ears, and at the same time, quickly took out his cell phone and played an audio.

This audio released was an odd, high-pitched sound. As soon as it played, the sharp noise instantly disappeared.

He Mu focused his attention. At that moment, the woman on the bicycle was about to slam into the street light next to him.

He knew he had no time for hesitation. He immediately lunged at the bicycle and pulled the back seat, lifting it up alongside the young woman.

“Ah!”

The young woman instantly regained consciousness and screamed.

“Don’t be afraid, it’s okay.”

He Mu gently put down the bicycle, while turning around to look at the green belt on the other side of the road.

I knew it.

Amidst the fog, there was a pair of scary green eyes in the dense shrubs staring straight at them.
