Chapter 654: They Don’t React

I aimed for the chest this time and blew a hole through the centre of the remaining creature, careful to aim my shotgun in such a way that there were no Zwergers directly behind it.

The creature clawed at its chest before it toppled forward and crashed onto the ground, twitching once before it laid still.

I was prepared for the creature next to it to jump up from the Zwerger that it was currently mating with and attack me but…

“Eh?” I muttered, looking around us where all the creatures just continued whatever they were doing.

None of them even reacted to the shotgun blast nor the fact that one of their own was killed right in front of them.

Ok, so first thing… I’m glad this confirmed that their weak point is their chest so we’ll have to aim there from now on if we want to kill them.

Second thing… Did they ignore this because they are busy doing something else and are not capable of paying attention to anything else that happens around them while they’re busy with that? Or is it because they are incapable of compassion for their fellows?

While I was wondering that, the older Zwerger moved his pistol to me, “You… Are you one of them?!!”

I raised an eyebrow and gestured at the dead creature on the floor, “I literally just killed one of them to save you and you think I’m one of them?”

“To gain our trust so that you can lead the rest of them in here, right?!”

I rolled my eyes, “Can you at least see the similarities between them? All of them have very distinct pale skin which is obviously not the case with us. Also, all of them are naked while we’re not.”

He narrowed his eyes at us before slowly shifting his gaze to the others in the room, “Wait… Those are the creatures?”

“You didn’t know? What did you think they were?”

“I thought those were your crew members and they’re starved for Zwerger dick or something!”

“And… You tried to shoot one of them knowing that?”

“I’m not about to let some crazy bitch try and rape me! I already have my gun out and I warned them what would happen if they tried, didn’t I?!”

Well… Fair enough. I would have done the same thing anyway.

I shrugged, “So yeah… These things are apparently the creatures that we saw on the camera…”

“But they don’t look like them? Why… Why are they so hot?”

So even he thinks that they’re attractive huh?

I looked around the room, “I suppose we should first deal with all of them huh… You think these miners will get angry that we kill these things while they are still in the midst of screwing them?”

“Who cares? We’re still going to kill these things right? No reason to leave them around~” Amber chuckled while she checked the safety on her Phoenix W2 Magnum pistol.

Without hesitation, she levelled the barrel at one of the creatures that was riding on top of a Zwerger and shot it through the chest.

It let out a scream and flailed before falling backwards onto the ground, spasming for just a moment before going still.

The Zwerger that the creature had been riding also let out a scream of his own before he scrambled back away from the dead creature, his unmentionables still hanging out.

“Wha… What?! What happened?! Why… Why was I even… Why did I do that?!” The Zwerger cried out.

Huh… Judging by his reaction, I’m guessing he wasn’t in his right mind when he jumped that creature.

That means these creatures are affecting their victims mentally some way as well…

That also means… We can just start blasting!

I lifted my shotgun and fired at another of the creatures that was bent over at the wall, blowing a hole in its chest and sending it sprawling onto the ground.

The Zwerger that had been behind it took a moment to look down at the sudden empty space in front of him before he scrambled backwards in surprise.

My girls also started shooting them up, all of them aiming at the creature’s torso and killing them with a single shot.

The Zwergers all quickly woke up after the creature they were having fun with suddenly died and they quickly fumbled to put their pants back on to preserve whatever little dignity they still had.

Since none of the creatures fought back, it was relatively easy for us to mop them up and the room quickly quietened down when the last creature slumped onto the ground, dead.

“Thanks lass. I’m sorry that we even doubted you,” The older Zwerger apologised.

“Don’t thank us yet… Seeing that there’s more than one of these things… It means there might be even more of them and they’ll probably keep coming if we don’t deal with that nest of theirs.”

Yes, I figured out that since there’s so many of these things, the hall where we saw through the camera must have turned into a nest of sorts where they are breeding more of their kind.

He nodded before turning to the Zwergers that were huddled behind him, “Why the hell did all of you do that? Have you all no shame?”

One of the Zwergers sputtered, “I… I don’t know… It just… When that beautiful woman was shaking her hips… My loins suddenly felt really hot and I somehow knew that if I were to go to her… That heat will go away… So I just did it… Didn’t you feel it?”

The older Zwerger frowned, “I suppose it did feel a little hot but I figured that it was from my adrenaline pumping where some unknown woman was trying to rape me and my mind wants me to fight back! Not fuck her!”

“But… They all look sexy… And you can’t expect us not to feel anything when a bunch of attractive women like them showed up before them!” The Zwerger protested, gesturing in our direction.

Awww… How sweet, you think my girls are attractive~

Well stop looking at them, they’re all mine. Or else I’ll throw you out the airlock.

I cleared my throat, “Ahem… Anyway… I got your supplies outside… We’ll just go ahead and err… Deal with the nest they made in that hall. I guess I’ll leave the disposal of these bodies to you? You can close the security door in the corridor from inside here, right?”

The older Zwerger nodded, “We’ll do that. You be careful with those things, lass.”

Seeing that he’s speaking more comfortably with me, I guess I earned his respect by saving them from those creatures.

I nodded back at him as a gesture of mutual respect as well, “Care to point us in the direction of the hall that those things are breeding?”

“Just head out, turn right, go straight down, then follow the signs that lead to the multipurpose hall.”

I nodded at him again before we left the security room and squeezed through the door and into the corridor.

And right there, there was another one of those creatures that was standing outside and looking at the door curiously.

The moment it spotted me, its lips immediately curled up to a smile.

Just as quickly though, when it saw my girls emerging behind me, it crinkled its nose like it just smelt something vile and its face turned into one of disgust.

Mara tilted her head, “So it’s not just that one… It seems like these creatures as a whole find entities without a male reproductive organ repulsive for some reason.”

“So… It’s only going after people with a dick?” I mused, looking at the creature that turned back to smile at me before thrusting out its hips to expose its crotch to me.

It even did a lewd shake of its hips as though trying to get me to just pop out my rod to stick inside it right there and then.

Mara tapped on her cheek thoughtfully, “I believe its because… Its entire species is female and the only way it can procreate is by looking for males from other species? And in that sense, it finds females from other species as their competitors.”

“Well… That would sound nice except for the fact that it seems to make people lose their rationality to mate with them. And their breeding also somehow involves putting people in those egg sacs. Speaking of which… Those Zwergers might have been mutated into these things, now that I think about it…”

Ries turned to me, “So have we been killing the miners of this station?”

I shrugged, “Who knows? We’ll only find out once we reach their nest I guess. In the meantime, it doesn’t look like we can transform them back into Zwergers even if they were former Zwergers that got mutated into this, right?”

All the girls gave me a look that pretty much told me that they didn’t think that was possible.

Alright then…

I levelled my shotgun at this one’s chest and fired.
