Chapter 43: Mutant Creeper

Alex was unaware that SHIELD was discussing Notch and Herobrine, and even an investigation into siblings born with those names around the world was being carried out, but even if he knew, Alex wouldn't care. Not even the Supreme Sorcerer could find out anything about him, let alone SHIELD that still relies on technological means to find him.

After coughing up blood, "Noch" flew away from the players and became invisible again.

He was very surprised at how well these players were organizing. Teams were set, warehouses, supplies, distribution lines, everything was running so well that Alex couldn't imagine a better way to make it happen.

Alex saw the players in some places celebrating the victory, while in other places the players were arguing about Noch and Herobrine, but he didn't want those players to be left with their guard down even after the battle was over.

Alex's idea was to make players think that monsters could appear at any time.

"Hehehe, they say nothing is so good that it can't get worse… but the Creeper always manages to spoil those plans." Alex said to himself as he picked up a creeper egg, but unlike regular Creeper eggs that were green and black, this egg in Alex's hand was green and red.

Several rookie players were heading to the warehouse to get a wooden or stone sword wanting to join the battle. Some players had even just bought minecraft and have already come to battle after watching livestreams on the internet and not even playing singleplayer.

Among these rookie players was Bruce Banner.

This was his first time getting into Minecraft multiplayer, so he just acted like the other players and was guided to the warehouse to get a weapon and join the battle.

"Players who have never played Minecraft, please stay on this side, while experienced players stay on the other side. We need to differentiate you to increase efficiency." A player named [Milaje04] yelled at the players.

Upon hearing this, 90% of players went to the novice player side, while only 10% went to the experienced player side.

This surprised [Milaje04] as each time she asked this question to players coming to the depot, the number of newbies compared to veterans increased.

'Minecraft is getting more and more popular…' She thought in shock.

But before she could say anything, a rookie player pointed away and asked confused. "Hey, what's that green monster with four legs?"

Hearing this the veteran players just ignored it thinking it was a random Creeper while paying attention to [Milaje04] who was handing out weapons to them first.

But as time went on, the number of rookie players screaming about this Creeper started to increase, until one veteran player finally looked confused.

When he saw the monster, he realized that it really was a Creeper, but looking at the size of this Creeper and how long its legs were, the player was shocked as he pointed at the Creeper without being able to say a word.

Upon seeing this shocked player pointing somewhere, other veteran players unconsciously followed the direction this player was pointing and were just as shocked as he was.

"Shit, what the fuck?!" One player cursed.

"Is that a fucking Creeper?" Another player was shocked.

When Milaje04 saw the Creeper these players were talking about, she was just as shocked as they were.

"Shit, shit, I need backup…" She said shocked. But since she was a soldier in Wakanda, Milaje04 reacted quickly and shouted at the players. "Quickly! Enter the warehouse and get swords by yourself, remember, get only one sword! We need to kill this Mutant Creeper and protect the warehouse!"

Hearing Milaje04's scream, players were shocked and excited.

Soon the warehouse was filled with players opening chests while taking swords and leather armor to fight this giant monster.

Veteran players who had already picked up equipment had already run to the Mutant Creeper and were trying to use Kiting strategy on this monster, but unlike normal Creepers that just exploded, this giant Creeper also attacked, this Creeper's range was greater than that of players , so to attack the Creeper at least one player had to be attacked first.

"Back off!" A player screamed after hitting the Creeper.

Hearing this, the players retreated before coming back and attacking the Creeper after a while.

In between, low health players moved away from the Creeper to eat and recover health, while full health players returned to the monster to try and hit it.

Even with players taking precautions, newbie players who didn't understand strategies for dealing with monsters in Minecraft were still dying very fast, but the death of newbies was also creating a lot of opportunities for veteran players to do a lot of damage on the Creeper.

Unlike regular Creepers, this Mutant Creeper had a lot of health, so players had to hit him hundreds of times for him to die.

If all players were skilled, it would be easy to kill the Creeper without anyone dying, but since 90% of the players in combat were rookies, the amount of players killed was very high.

Milaje04 was at Milaje02's side watching the battle and protecting the warehouse from other monsters that might emerge.

Seeing the amount of rookie players dying to kill the Mutant Creeper, the two women felt a pang in their hearts.

When monsters die, they drop equipment for players to pick up, but when players die, the equipment disappears. Every rookie player who died in this battle was a set of equipment that they lost forever.

"If this battle lasts too long we will lose all our supply." Milaje02 said in a heavy voice.

"If we can kill this Creeper it will be worth it." Milaje04 said confidently.

But after a while, the two Milaje frowned and looked at each other in confusion.

"That's a Creeper, but why doesn't it explode?" Milaje04 asked Milaje02.

But before Milaje02 could respond, they saw this Creeper Mutant's big legs twitch before the Creeper Mutant darts into the air.

Seeing the Creeper practically flying, the players' hearts froze.

"Shit…"
