24 Nature Of Baby Eggs

Misha picked it up and looked at it.

"Are you a cat or an egg? Is there a kitty getting trapped in there?"

It faintly trembled in her hands.

*Mew*

"Oh, you're not a kitty. Well, an egg cat, I a.s.sume."

Misha cut a piece of jelly and put it in the egg's little mouth. It guessed Misha's intention and chewed the jelly without a resistance. Then, it opened the flower mouth for more.

"You're spoiled with only a bite."

Looking how cute the little egg mewed, she took it with her to the corner of the oval room, continuing feeding it like feeding a pet.

On the other side, the last two eggs bit and tore each other's tentacles. The victor had been decided.

Just like the little egg in Misha's hands, the other loser shrank to the size of a chicken egg, which was immediately eaten by the winner.

"So, the ecology here is similar to sharks."

After sharks had been born, they ate their siblings while they were in their mother's womb until their mother released them to the ocean.

A similar phenomenon occurred here as these egg monsters ate each other within the oval room.

Misha looked around, contemplating and connecting puzzle pieces.

"Did those tentacles mistake me as one of them? They shoved me in here and fed me along with these babies? Or they toss me here as their food?"

A wry smile appeared on Misha's face as she gazed at her egg pet.

"Will you grow back to that size in the future again if I raise you?"

*Mew*

"Hahaha! Okay, I'll try to raise you. But first, we have to either kill this b.a.s.t.a.r.d or get out of here alive."

Misha glanced at the last big baby egg in the room. It was eating its sibling and Misha's abandoned jelly in glee.

To weaken this egg monster, she had to yank the tentacle tongues out of its body, which would be difficult without tools and weapons.

Thinking back when she was tossed into this room, none of them reacted to her presence when she had first arrived here. Only when she sweated, they showed interest in her natural smell.

Glancing around the room, egg sh.e.l.ls and puddles of green liquid were everywhere. Dead green tentacles and dried noodle-like dead tentacles were around as well, which showed traces of fighting and struggling.

"Tama, are you guys the last eggs standing when I arrive here?"

Misha named the little egg Tama.

*Mew*

Being wary of this big egg, Misha kept her distance from it and stopped her exercise routine for the moment.

11.30 AM.

Tama has its fill, and it fell silent, falling asleep. The other egg also withdrew the tongues back into its body, standing still like when Misha had arrived.

Seeing that all eggs fell asleep, Misha began her ambitious plan.

"Big guy. If you are gone, all jellies will be mine."

Misha licked her teeth for a few seconds, gathering her saliva. She then spat at the big egg to create an odd smell.

As she had planned, the big egg extended its tongues to investigate it.

Misha activated her [Pheromone] skill to avert its attention.

The tongues moved away from Misha to its sh.e.l.l, licking its surface to check the new smell.

As the big egg let its guard down, Misha reached her hands out and grabbed the tongues. She yanked it out while her legs kicked on the surface of the egg, pulling the tentacles with all of her might.

Though she could not grab all of the tentacles at once, she managed to wrap three of all five tentacles in her hands.

*SCREECH*

Misha kicked the body of the egg again with both feet, extending her body horizontally, while her hands with the tentacles dragged the tongues toward her chest.

*PLOP*

Three of the tongues were pulled out!

*SCREECH*

In anger, the big egg bared its fangs and opened its flower-petals-like mouth, wanting to bite Misha. It extended the remaining two tongue to the side of Misha's head, planning to wrap around it. It also spat green acid fluid at Misha on her body.

By reflex, Misha held the remaining tongue with one hand each. She circled her hands around the tongues, locking it with her arms. However, she had to brace the digestive fluid as it landed on her body.

Misha activated her [Self Regeneration] to counter the damage. Her corroding body mended the burnt parts while the remaining green fluid continued to cook Misha's flesh.

"Ugh! Come here, little kitty."

The one-meter-egg pulled itself using the tongue, flying toward Misha's head, planning to bite it.

Misha ducked down and pushed her feet up, kicking the egg's lower part and planting her feet on it. She pulled the tongues again.

*SCREEEEE*

The last two tongues had been pulled out, and the egg wailed in pain. It spat its green fluid all over the place as its body size shrunk at a rapid rate.

When the size turned into a handful chicken egg size, she picked it up and placed it by Tama.

"It's revenge time, Tama. Can you do it?"

As if Tama understood Misha's word, it opened its mouth and bit the weakened egg, eating it alive. Even without a tongue, the flower fangs were enough to crush its surface and sh.e.l.ls.

Noon

18 Hours remained until the quest ended.

Tama burped as it was full. It ate the entire weakened egg.

Misha giggled, "Now, it's just you and me. Will you try to kill me again?"

Tama did not react.

"Oho? So you still haven't given up, huh? How about I squeeze you in my hands right now."

*Mew*

Tama trembled and cried in a soft voice.

"Just kidding. Say, let's share the jelly next time, okay? I'll continue my grinding. You can go to sleep now."

*Mew*

Tama jumped and danced around Misha like a puppy.

On the wasteland, the queen egg that ate Misha stood tall.

Tattoo Zombies were killed and eaten by the green zombies. After they were done with their new food, they turned around to eat the Queen Egg again.

At this moment, the body of some of the green zombies shook, unable to control their body. They collapsed on the ground as they leaked green liquid from their five orifices.

After the dead zombies collapsed, tiny green worms, smaller than human's pinky finger, dug themselves out from the chest of zombies. It opened the wound to make a path as several green oval objects competed to get out of the body.

Over a hundred thousands of tiny eggs gushed out of the zombie body as if they were small insects which broke out from their nest.

They were the baby green eggs.

Some of them rolled away from the zombie body.

Some of them remained inside the body, still eating the innards.

Others randomly bit their fellow eggs, eating their siblings.

A giant tongue of Queen Egg rolled the infested body of the zombies and pulled it into its mouth. The tentacles dragged the zombies and the eggs into an empty oval room, similar to the place that Misha was in.

As the tentacle went pa.s.s the digestive fluid, the majority of the baby eggs were dissolved and became the Queen's food. However, the survivors began drinking the digestive fluid and converting it into its own.

Meanwhile, stray zombies were attracted by Queen Egg's gas. They ran toward it and began eating it like the others.

As for the old zombies who had been eating the egg for a longer time, their skins and flesh turned green.

More tentacle tongues swoop down and dragged random hundreds of zombies into its mouth. The Queen sometimes needed additional nutrition for itself.
