Chapter 182 Chaos
Groups of males slowly infiltrated Spirit City, each heading in different directions and blending with the crowds. One of them wandered aimlessly, drool dripping from his mouth.
As he stumbled through the streets, he suddenly crashed into another male, the drool splattering onto the man’s arm.
"Watch where you’re going!" the male shouted, wiping his arm with disgust. Suddenly, he felt a strange sensation. His mind went blank, his skin turned pale, and his eyes became unfocused. Greenish tint began to spread to his nails.
As the transformation took hold, the infected male staggered, his breath becoming ragged. Panic spread through the crowd as onlookers noticed his change. His eyes turned a sickly shade of green, matching the color creeping up his nails.
People started to back away, whispering in fear and confusion. The once lively marketplace fell silent, tension thick in the air. The infected male let out a low, guttural growl, and those closest to him screamed, scrambling to get away.
Meanwhile, the other infiltrators continued to move through the town, their presence unnoticed in the growing chaos. Each carried the same infection, spreading it silently among the town people.
Unaware of the impending danger, the crowd at the beauty contest continued to cheer and shout, their focus solely on the stage.

Mount Zenith, near the Silver Wolf tribe with its three thousand steps, was shrouded in an eerie calm.
