Chapter 287 - Clash Of The Beasts

“Hey folks, I’m here right in Kidminstin! Did you guys all see that just now?!” A young man who was wearing a puffy oversized coat and had chains all around his neck was currently filming the event on his phone.

He wasn't just any regular university student, though. Scotty was a popular live streamer who happened to be in the area, rating different bars and their best drinks. Ever since the attack had started, he had continued to film the whole thing, and the reason for that was simple.

The amount of his viewers had skyrocketed!

Rather than overwhelmed with fear like others, Scotty had seen this as an opportunity for himself. He had managed to gather over two hundred people after livestreaming for a couple months, but right now, his viewership was in the thousands! People not only from Slough were watching what was going on, but from other cities as well, as they had never seen such Altered before.

[Is this real, or are they promoting some type of movie?]

[Yeah, I’ve never even heard or seen this many crazy Altered in the same place before.]

[I heard some rumours, on the dark web. They say that there are large numbers of Altered in the lower tier towns that had gone crazy.]

[But that doesn't make any sense. I thought there weren’t any Altered in the lower tier towns?]

[Which is why it doesn't make any sense and this person is just talking out of his arse.

Don’t believe everything you see on the internet.]

“Did you all see that just now!? The man suddenly transformed his arms and legs, and burst across to save that woman right now, yo!” Scotty commentated. “It's an Altered. I can't believe there is an Altered in Slough, here to help the people!”

Soon, though, one of his viewers recognised him as Kirk Summerfield.

[Hey, that's not just any Altered, that's Kirk Summerfield! The Rookie AFC guy, the Cheetah Altered.]

[Yeah, it is him! I guess he couldn't just stand back and watch what was happening in his town, so he had to get involved.]

[Whoa, does that mean this whole thing is real!]

[I dunno. Might just be some promo for the AFC. Maybe they will reveal this as some new type of match style?]

“It's not a set-up guys.” Scotty said after checking in with his livefeed. He wasn’t happy that his viewers were doubting the seriousness of this situation. “I didn’t get to get a good shot because I wasn’t ready for what happened, but when I was leaving the place I saw real blood. I saw the look in the girl's eyes before she…s he died.”

[Have you ever heard of paid actors before, Scotty, or are you really that naive?]

[F in the chat for the poor woman, people.]

“Remember, to add her to the list.” Kirk shouted, as he continued to move forward. There was only one creature that had followed this group, but Kirk was sure that there would be more around the area.

While walking forward, though, Kirk noticed that he had merely injured the beast. It stood up from the ground. Opening its mouth, the skin stretched until it bled from the sides and let out a nasty sounding growl.

‘It's so small, is it really an Altered? … guess it has to be. There’s no way a normal human could have survived my hit when I didn't hold back.’ Kirk thought. ‘Does that mean, the Grey Elephants have turned kids into Altered? Just how did they get their hands on so much Altered DNA? There's something else going on here. That thing seems to have gone berserk with the rest of them. Damion could be in more trouble if I don’t hurry up.’

This time, instead of using his fists, Kirk grew out his sharp nails, and dashed forward again. The creature was fast, but Kirk was simply just too fast for it, his nails piercing right through the kid's head.

“I'm sorry, once turning into a crazed Alter there is no way of coming back from it. I'm sorry for what they have done to you.” Kirk apologised as he let go of the corpse.

Quickly, leaving the body on the ground, the Cheetah Altered continued to where he could hear the screams. He entered the main road where cars would normally be at this time of day. Some had been flipped and others destroyed.

While walking towards the area, he also saw countless dead bodies on the ground. Those of the Underdog members. He was a little proud that the gang members at least stayed to try to fight, rather than run away.

There were those inside their establishments with the doors locked, staring outside, but it was quite calm, because standing in the middle of the street was a lone man, who was facing all the creatures on his own.

Scotty had followed Kirk and the others, and zoomed in on the lone man fighting.

“Look at this, it looks like a regular person is taking on the monsters.” Scotty commented.

On the camera, one could see a man, who had a scarf wrapped around his neck, and a cap on the top of his head. Wearing a standard sports shirt, even in the middle of the night. He dodged two of the creatures' attacks, and grabbed the back of their heads, slamming them into the ground.

‘Damn…this is harder than I thought without transforming any of my body.’ Jayden thought.

While he was catching his breath, another beast that he thought he had dealt with, had gotten back up, thrusting its hand forward. Still, Jayden was ready and was waiting for the right time to kick it in its head.

When he lifted his foot off the ground, though, he could sense that something else from the front came forward and had punched it in the side of its face instead.

“These guys are tougher than you think.” Kirk said towards the apparent stranger.
