Thud!! Clark still hugged Diana from behind in a daze, as they were both finally pulled up and dropped at the next standing area above the initial point of the still rampaging avalanche. All the soldiers had expressions of fear on their faces, as they looked back uneasily at the disaster caused by their Major’s desperate actions. 4 of their comrades just died before their eyes. Diana finally reacted after landing, as she quickly wriggled herself out of her Major’s embrace. Though her facial expression was veiled by her still-activated armor, her clumsy steps showed that she felt uncomfortable. Though hugging such a beauty from behind was supposed to be a jolly thing for a man like him, Clark could not as he stared blankly at the slightly frozen hand in his grasp. “He still died…” He already expected his soldiers to die on seeing them get submerged by the avalanche, but he thought that he saved one at least. Seeing the contrary situation that h

Back in the Spartan republic, Leo had a helpless expression on his face as he conversed with 2 beautiful ladies who were looking at him with livid expressions on their faces.             One of the ladies, Kate, sat beside him while glaring at him angrily. The other, Emily was communicating with them through a virtual projection. “So, you are telling us that Clark went for another possibly dangerous mission?” Emily asked, as she tried hard to control her emotions and not lash out at this man.             “Yes, its confidential. I can’t tell you guys more, you…”             “It’s ok, no need for further explanations, I’m fed up of your bullshit”.             “Tell me, why did you not persuade him to reject it? And you call yours

When Clark heard that the tunnel was already occupied by mountain cats, he fell silent and went into deep contemplation. From the knowledge that he got from his learning years through his first implant, he knew the basic information about mountain cats. The cats that live in an extreme region such as the Himalayan peaks are of different types and breeds, but they all have one similarity, they had vigorous hearts and lungs that already adapted to the region. In short, compared to other regular cats, these were more tenacious and have more means of survival. At this current height of the mountain, all the normal soldiers in the squad could no longer breathe by themselves. Their lungs were not tenacious enough, so they were now on life support systems. As a home of mountain beasts, this reason alone would have deterred Clark from passing through this tunnel, but he was still hesitant as he thought through its pros and cons. Compared to th

Just like a string that was finally pulled in the opposite direction by natural negative force, all the soldiers in the rear group turned to look at what made their comrade so spooked. Helpless, disappointed, and already angered, Diana could not help herself as she also turned to look. The deed was already done, so why not look also? What first came before her sight on turning her head was the greyish background of the hole dug out by the cats. As her head continued upwards, she finally saw something that made her face tighten. “A skull??” After seeing the first skull that clearly belonged to a human, her expression quickly took a poker look as her head continued upwards unhinged to see everything. After the first human skull, dozens of other skulls, some that were deformed eerily in various places came before her sight. This was not the end, her brows creased further as she saw the dead decaying remains of humans. Incomplete parts of

All the soldiers screamed simultaneously in shock, as they watched their Major get submerged inside the rock with the cats. They had expressions of disbelief on their faces. “Clark, no, no…!!” Benny, being the soldier who rushed out of the tunnel last, it took more time for him to react, but when he did, he was devastated. Though most of them were all focused on escaping and saving their sorry asses in panic, the few stronger ones were able to delegate a little bit of attention to their leader’s battle. They saw him when his armor was breached with a single bite, they also saw him when he stacked his exotic shields together in a desperate attempt at stalling the grey alpha cat. “What if his exotic shields are finished? Can his body alone withstand the impact of such hard rocks?” Thinking of this, some of them finally turned to face the soldier who caused this with indignant expressions on their faces. Because of his actions, they lost
