Ryan thrashed about. He flailed at Lory's hand, but the scaly hand didn't budge at all. Ryan slashed his axe at Lory's hand, finally getting a cut because the metal of the axe had the power to pierce the scales of the monsters.Instead of retreating, Lory became even more ferocious, she cut Ryan's hand with her claws, so Ryan dropped his axe. Rico took aim with the gun. He shouted, "Stop! Let go of Ryan or I'll shoot!"Lory paused for a moment. He wondered where Rico was. Once he figured it out, he lifted Ryan's body and used it as a shield. Lory kept his grip on the body and Ryan kept screaming in pain. Rico had trouble aiming because he was blocked by Ryan's body."Asshole! You cowardly woman! Put Ryan down now!" exclaimed Rico looking for an opening to shoot. However, he couldn't find any opening because Lory kept hiding.Lory gripped Ryan's body even more which made the man bleed even more. He couldn't do anything as his bones were partially crushed by Lory."Bastard! Let go!" Ric
Lory laughed with satisfaction. However, a moment later three people in white robes entered. They carried sharp weapons in the form of samurai swords. Their arrival made Lory start to shudder with fear. Although she was going to die, but Lory didn't expect a painful death. The appearance of the three robed people made her lose that hope.From their appearance, they were two men and one woman. They immediately saw the helpless Lory, then they also saw the three workshop workers lying lifeless, but they didn't see Rico."Ricardo Irving! Where are you?" the woman exclaimed."I'm here!" exclaimed Rico from inside the armory. The cloaked woman gave a hand code to the two men beside her to go to the armory to help Rico and also look for survivors. Meanwhile, the woman walked towards Lory.Lory hissed to scare her, even though she herself felt scared. When she was sightless and helpless, she didn't know what was approaching her. The woman didn't give off any odor at all. The scent of her bo
The monsters hesitated to enter the back room of the workshop. The black smoke was a fear to them. They knew that their eyes were the weak part, so they knew that this must be a trap. The sound of James moaning in pain inside was considered a lure, to trap them in. They kept quiet as they watched. Until finally there was a monster still in human form wearing swimming goggles. He entered and found that his eyes didn't sting when he wore them. "I don't have any pain in my eyes! Use the goggles!" he told his friends.They turned back into human form and started looking for swimming goggles. Some of them went out of the workshop to look for them. Others were still waiting for the smoke to clear.The monster that was already in the smoke walked slowly in the darkness. He was careful in his steps, trying to find the odor of the enemy. However, there were only four odors that he could smell. Three were from humans covered in blood, and one was familiar to the monsters' noses, the smell of Ja
Gordon stood at the entrance to the staff room. He was thinking of protecting James while Samantha did her job. Although facing this many enemies was almost impossible for a HORNET soldier, it was still possible if Gordon did it. The armor he wore was very strong, and it lasted a long time before it started to erode. Wearing armor like this takes up a lot of Gordon's energy, so he needs to finish the fight quickly or he'll suffocate in the middle of the fight. With absolute defense, Gordon only needs a killing blow to end the fight quickly. Therefore, Gordon uses two weapons at once. He uses a sword in his right hand and a pistol in his left hand. Gordon's own gun is unique. Besides having bullets that can penetrate monster scales like Sisca's, the bullets will also explode if they manage to penetrate the monster's scales. Not a big explosion, but enough to make them die with one shot. With such specifications, the gun used by Gordon has a larger size with larger caliber bullets.The
Instantly Gordon became hesitant. The big man couldn't do anything now. If he killed the monster before him, then he wouldn't be able to deal with the next wave of monsters. But seeing the monster confidently resting its forehead on the muzzle of Gordon's gun was a sign that it would not follow Gordon's orders. No fear of death."Why? Are you going to shoot or not? I'm not going to fight back. You can take my life now," the monster baited. The monster grinned even wider. He seemed to really enjoy the hesitation in Gordon's eyes.The atmosphere became silent. Gordon was unable to make a decision. His mind was filled with terrible possibilities.At that moment, while the monster was enjoying his game, Samantha suddenly appeared hobbling. She shouted, "Gordon! I've set all the explosives! We have to go!"Hearing the news, Gordon instantly smiled. He no longer had to hesitate. He pulled the trigger and smashed the monster's head with a single shot. The monster's body fell on its back in f
"Coming at last, trouble-maker," Gordon reloaded his pistol. Gordon realized this was probably his last time. Even though he was considered one of the strongest, but that was only if he was wearing his armor. At times like this he only had the strength of an ordinary human. He couldn't rely on James Winter because he was still a cadet who had only been training for ten days. There was no way he would survive against the invasion of a wave of monsters like this."I don't know if we can escape their invasion, but I would feel guilty if I didn't try to protect you. Here, catch it!" Gordon threw his axe at James.James saw the smile on Gordon's face, a satisfied smile for doing his best. "Do you want to die here?" asked James."Of course not! However, it's too late. My partner has planted a bomb in this building. We can't just run away because of the creatures in front of us. We died fighting monsters. Huh, damn..." Gordon smiled back.Two monsters entered and lunged at them from the fron
Zen opened his eyes abruptly. He found himself in a familiar room. A white room with a soft bed. A bed that is usually used by people who are injured. Startled, Zen got out of bed and looked around. There were many empty beds in the place. Only he, Rico, and Samantha were there. Rico and Samantha were unconscious due to the effects of the regenerator serum. However, she did not see James' whereabouts. "Oh my God, where is James?" Zen asked himself.Zen then got up from his bed and walked out. His suspicions were correct. He was now in NEST. There was only one possibility why he could have arrived at that place. Namely, Rico's workshop was attacked by monsters, and he was rescued while unconscious.Zen ran to Henry's room. He opened the door roughly and shouted, "Henry! Tell me what happened!"Henry pointed to a chair in front of him. "Why don't you sit down first? You just woke up, right? You can't just move like that."Put that aside! Where is James Winter? Why isn't he with me and R
Centerfield is the hometown of James. During his time in the city, his job prospects were not very good, and he was still dependent on his parents' business. For three years, James worked at the mica plastic factory in the administration department.Centerfield is a small town, and most people there still live more modestly than those in Landfield. However, it was more peaceful than Landfield. There were very few murders in Centerfield, so there wasn't as much chaos as in Landfield.James' house is strategically located next to the mica factory he owns. The house is not big, but it has two levels and is comfortable to live in. The house has a small hydroponic garden on the roof, and the yard has aquaponics. James' father had built the two parks to grow a variety of vegetables and fruits.James walked through the aquaponics garden, reminiscing about some of the moments he had before he left Landfield. James' family used to eat produce from the aquaponics garden, rarely eating food from
