It took more than a mere ten minutes for the shock to leave Jed.
He never thought the day he fought against the biggest dickhead in the entire universe would happen before he died in seven months.
But, here it was. Witnessing the horror as the biggest man rod he ever saw rained corrosive acids in the underground cave, while the dependable captains of the EADF were stoned.
Sure, it was his fault that both Max and Reed could only stare in confusion and drooled on the cave floor, but Jed did that because he didn’t want to die by their hands. “Oh, man, what a mess this operation has become.”
Looking back at the vulgar monstrosity, Jed decided he had to kill that freaking creature. Frankly, he didn’t want to be stuck here forever while that angry red head spurted more corrosive acid. For all he knew, it might last for eternity.
“Ew…” Jed shuddered again before he rose to his feet and stretched.
He had wa

Bucket List of the Apocalypse: Devour System 27. Made up Lies and Truce
The underground cave echoed with the splattered sounds from the vulgar fungi alien monster.Hiding in a small passageway from the corrosive acid, Jed was held point blank by none other than the strongest captain in the entire Earth Allied Defense Force. He could die any second now. The gun’s muzzle was pressed against the side of his head, sizzling with energy force.“We-well, you see…”Max’s patience ran thin. He couldn’t kill this monster because of its ability to speak human language. Unaware that it was a weak rookie soldier under the jagged white exosuit.“Who are you?”Shivering, Jed muttered a made up answer. “I’m no one important.”“How can an alien monster like you speak?”Jed grew nervous, unable to say the truth under pressure. So he made up another lie. “I just can..?”The gun was loaded with energy force, ready to
Bucket List of the Apocalypse: Devour System 28. Teaming up Against the Final Boss
“Motherfucking bastard! What the hell is that?!”That was the first thing Max said upon laying his eyes to the monstrosity that spurted corrosive acid from its angry red head. Its electric blue body pulsated with every load being released. He was the strongest captain of the EADF, he had killed alien monsters since he was in high school.However, this was the first time he witnessed such a horrifying sight that he forgot to close his mouth.Jed turned to him, “How come you only see it now?”“Where did it grow from?”“I don’t know, but you’re the one who fought it first. I only arrive here after you guys.”Max blinked in confusion. “No. We fought a humanoid fungi monster, not that… massive penis.”Jed tried not to lose it again, but his giggle was unstoppable. “I can’t believe you guys fell into such a vulgar creature’s hallucination.

Bucket List of the Apocalypse: Devour System 29. This Operation Sucks
The hair on the back of Jed’s neck raised, telling him something was off.He jumped forward, getting away from where he kneeled a second ago. From the corner of his eyes, he could see Max’s icy glare and his balled fist on the ground, right where he was before.“Attacking me from the back?” Jed taunted, “Is that how you got the title as the strongest man in the Earth Allied Defense Force? How honourable.”Max didn’t like his sarcasm. “You think I’d let you go?”Figures.“We took that creature down together, I’m not going to attack you.”“Says the monster who infested the Earth for almost a century. Like I’d believe you.”Jed sighed, “Please, I’m not your usual normal alien monster. I’m more than that.”“Indeed. You killed your own species and ate their cores, that’s worse than the worst monster. Yo
Bucket List of the Apocalypse: Devour System 30. Come Out and Play, Little Monster
Jed sprung away in alarm. He just saved himself from getting pummelled to the ground by a heavy box thrown at him.“Showing your face again, monster?” Ellie Hawkins pointed her standard rifle at him, grinning like a maniac. “I’ll get you for sure this time.”“Not again…”Ellie had set her eyes on him, firing to her heart’s content. “Die, you monster!”Jed swiftly jumped to the side, running in zigzag motions to get away from her accurate shots. He’d die on the spot if Mycelial Sense didn’t give him enough information of his surroundings and Aerial Grace didn’t let him move as freely on the air and dodged every energy bullet she shot at him.“Stay still and be a good little monster, why don’t you?!” Ellie shouted, following him with her own effective jumps and on point shots.“I’m not a monster!” Jed yelled back.Tha
Bucket List of the Apocalypse: Devour System 31. Facts Unveiled at the Hospital Room
‘After thorough eradication of the alien monsters in Meersyn Coast by the proud Earth Allied Defense Force with no causality, Emitton Province Government announced that they will continue the redeveloping plan left in the dust three years ago.’Jed opened his blurry eyes to a boring white ceiling. It didn’t look like his shared bedroom in the base. Where was he again?“Oh, look who’s awake!”He turned his head to the side, finding Ricky Mitchell grinning at him, while Ryan Tanner pouted by his side. “I was about to dump your body in the trash, you know?”“Huh?”“You slept on for three days after Mitchell here found you playing hide and seek with Hawkins. You just spent a good amount of citizen taxes for dumb reason.” Ryan elaborated, not liking this. “So tell us, how did you not hallucinate like the rest of us?”Jed grunted. “Wait, you said I was here f
Bucket List of the Apocalypse: Devour System 32. Party Up
Jed took a deep breath as he stepped out of the elevator and onto the base’s main floor. The familiar hum of machinery and the cool air-conditioned corridor made him at ease. It was good to be back.“You don’t have to hold my hand, Ricky. I’m not going to tumble here just because I got XFS. It'll be about seven months from now.”“Sorry,” the blond said, traces of his sobbing earlier still present in his face. He quickly let go of Jed’s arm and sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck.Waiting before the door to the common room, Ryan impatiently tapped his foot against the floor. “Chop, chop, Hunter.”As he walked there, he noticed that things seemed unusually quiet. Normally, the base was a hive of activity, with people bustling about and the sound of conversations echoing off the walls. Today, though, it was eerily silent.Just as he was beginning to wonder what was going on, the doors of t
Bucket List of the Apocalypse: Devour System 33. Fancy Steaks and Family Bonds
Jed and Ricky waited outside the steakhouse for the five younger siblings of the Mitchell family.He was a man of his words, so he’d take up on the promise to pay the blond back for the help back then. If not for Ricky, he doubts he’d survive getting shot by the bipolar girl on their first official mission.“How far is the family housing from here?”“Hmm?” Ricky tapped his chin with a finger, “About an hour by foot, I guess.”“You guess? Why don’t they ride the train or cab?”“No cab willing to take five medium-sized people in one go, and to order two would kill my wallet. Besides, the train station is pretty far from the housing.”Jed hummed. “You’re really peculiar with your money, huh?”“Well, I have to save up for my sister. She’d get married next month.”“Wh-what? How old is she?”“Twen
Bucket List of the Apocalypse: Devour System 34. Empty, Quiet Street
The evening sun made orange streaks across the sky as Jed strolled back home from school.He took a detour, wanting to see the location an alien monster destroyed last week five blocks away from his house. Doing that made him come home late for dinner. He wondered what his mother cooked, and got excited as he remembered his father would be back from his out of town office trip.Last time his father brought a popular tin-boxed fruit candy from the nineties. Alas, the factory was attacked by a horde of alien monsters before he was born and they tried so hard to recover from that, even if they declared bankruptcy five years later. Now, only a handful of old-time stores sell their remaining stocks.Humming at the thought, it took Jed a moment to notice that the neighbourhood seemed oddly quiet, more so than usual. There were no kids playing outside, no cars driving by, and no neighbours chatting on their porches. He noticed toys strewn across a lawn and an abandoned
