Alter Dimension: Lucky Dungeon Master

Chapter 176 Piqued Interest

[Dragon Life] one of the bugiest skills that Alex currently possesses.

With this skill, as long as someone who died hasn't passed 10 minutes yet, Alex could revive them!

This skill doesn't even consume any mana or whatsoever.

The only thing that could be called a limitation in this skill is its cooldown.

[Dragon Life] has a cooldown time of 24 hours.

This means [Dragon Life] could only be used at least once a day at maximum.

So, even though it's a buggy skill, in a place where a lot of deaths have occurred, Alex is helpless.

But that doesn't affect the fact that this skill is just really powerful.

Anyway, with that skill in mind, Alex can't help but stare intently at those infected people inside the house with a thoughtful look.

'Hmm… If the infected people are still alive, maybe there's a chance that I can bring them back to normal with [Dragon Life] after they're killed.'

With that idea in mind, Alex started to feel hopeful.

'Maybe, just maybe, I can save them from this predicament…'

While Alex is thinking of such things, someone landed beside him.

It was Glen who was just on the phone a few minutes ago.

Alex wasn't surprised by his sudden appearance.

That's because, the moment Glen appeared around 20 km away, Alex had already detected his presence with his skill.

Thanks to that, Alex already knew that he was coming.

Anyway, following the direction where Alex is looking, Glen also stared at the crude house under the bridge.

Since the infected are inside the house, Glen didn't see anything.

So, he turned to Alex and asked, "How's the situation right now?"

Alex knitted his brows and said, "Right now, they haven't caused any problems yet."

"Since they are isolated inside the house, they haven't caused anyone else to get infected with the virus."

"However, maybe this is the natural characteristics of the infected, they are actually walking in circles without stopping."

"It's like they are in a daze while their body is on autopilot and just continue walking."

Listening to Alex's words, Glen said, "Hmm, their current actions are really similar to low level undead monsters in Alter Dimension."

The low level undead monster that Glen is talking about refers to monsters such as skeletons, zombies, ghouls, etc.

Hearing Glen's words, Alex can't help but look at him and ask the question in his mind.

"Mr. Glen, in your opinion, are those infected people still 'alive' or are they already dead?"

Alex's question caused Glen to raise an eyebrow.

However, he wasn't in a hurry to answer and pondered about the question seriously.

After a while, he said, "I think they can still be considered alive."

"Just like normal disease, when we catch a cold or fever, it doesn't mean we're already dead, right?"

"So, for these infected people, maybe they are just in a state where they are considered 'sick'."

Hearing that, Alex nodded in agreement.

Then, Glen turned his eyes to Alex and curiously asked, "So, why did you suddenly ask such a question?"

"Oh, well…"

Alex thought about what to say for a moment.

He is hesitating whether he should talk about his skill or not with Glen.

In the end, Alex's cautiousness still got the best of him.

Shaking his head, Alex said, "It's nothing. I was just curious about it."

Glen stared at Alex after hearing his answer.

"Hmm, is that so?"

Glen obviously didn't believe it.

But since Alex doesn't want to talk about it, he can't continue asking.

After some more small talks, Glen said, "Let's go. Let's take a closer look at those infected people inside the house."

Glen jumped light from the branch of the tree and landed on the ground lightly.

It was like a leaf that fell down from the tree, softly dropping on the ground.

Seeing that, Alex immediately followed.

The two of them headed toward the crude house, approaching it with careful steps.

Even though it's impossible for there to be something that can harm them here, it's not bad to always be careful.

Glen and Alex stopped outside the house while the latter is observing the movements of the infecteds.

When they arrived outside the door, Glen asked Alex using his eyes about the current situation.

Alex shook his head, meaning, there's nothing new happening.

Seeing that, Glen put his eyes on the door of the house and pondered for a second.

The next moment, Glen sudden threw a punch on the door of the house.

Bang!

The decaying wooden door immediately collapse with that punch.

As if attracted by the noise, Alex noticed that the infecteds inside the house paused before looking at the door.

It was because of this that they took notice of Glen and Alex's presence.

Then, like those small zombies in the movies, they let out a weird roar.

Grawr!

Grawr!

The man and the woman infecteds started running towards the two people outside.

Their eyes glowing red like beasts that found its prey.

Seeing them get closer, neither Glen not Alex feel fear or anything.

They just looked at them with indifferent eyes as usual.

With Glen with him, Alex didn't even bother making a move to take those to down.

Glen raised his hand and points it at the two running figures.

Then, he muttered, "[Bind Chains]!"

Clang!

Clang!

The sound of metal hitting metal echoes under the river.

Then chains appeared in all directions, all targeting the two infecteds!

Clang!

Shooting out from everywhere, the chains went in circles around the two infecteds before suddenly tightening!

Ka-ching!

Clack!

The chains trapped the two infecteds, hindering them from moving even a step forward.

"Ugh-graw!?"

Seemingly confused by this development, the infecteds continued struggling.

Looking at his work with satisfaction, Glen smiled and turned to Alex.

"What do you think? Cool, right?"

Alex could only smile wryly at his words.

After that, the two approached the infected man and woman.

This caused them to struggle more violently, not caring about their own body.

Some parts of their body got tears and cuts all because of their own actions.

Alex and Glen didn't care about any of that and just observed them closely.

Their leisurely attitude is really a great contrast to the current scene that they are in.

It was as if they were in the zoo and what they were looking at were just new breeds of animals that piqued their interest.

Rubbing his chin, Alex looked at the two infecteds intently.

"Hmm, it seems like they are already unconscious. The movements and actions that they are doing seem to be all just from instinct."

From what Alex can observe with his naked eyes, the infecteds are acting like those people who suffer from sleepwalking.

His words made Glen nod, "Yeah, that seems to be the case."

"This just increased the possibility of what I said before, of them still being alive, highly probable."

Listening to Glen's words, Alex fell into deep thought.

Silently, Alex used [Inspect] on the two infecteds.

[Lorence Aplan]

[Status: Sick]

[Details: Infected by a rat with a deadly virus that originated from a monster– Corruptor. Currently, his whole body and organs, especially the brain, is being eaten by the said virus.]

…

[Marites Lourdes]

[Status: Sick, Injured]

[Details: Infected by a human with a deadly virus that originated from a monster– Corruptor. Currently, his whole body and organs, especially the brain, is being eaten by the said virus.

Suffered from concussion from an attack by a fellow human. Suffering from bites of a fellow human. Currently bleeding in multiple places.]

…

When Alex read the first result of [Inspect], he didn't see anything noteworthy and it was just as he had expected.

But when his eyes landed on the details of the female, a frown immediately appeared on his face.

"What the hell?" He whispered.

After reading the details on the female infected, Alex turned his attention to her body.

Just like what was written on it, Alex could see a bump and dried blood on the back of the female's head.

At the same time, some bloody bite marks could clearly be seen near her neck.

Alex felt like this was too messed up.

On the side, Glen also saw all this and frowned.

"From the looks of it, something must have happened before the two of them got infected for her to have such an injury like that on the back of her head, huh."

As the leader of City Protection Squad, Glen also has rich experience when it comes to investigation.

And the injury on the woman's head clearly appears to be something caused by another person, intentionally.

This made the two, Alex and Glen, to become curious.
