2025-03-17 04:07:58Wall gunners prepare for battle!”
“Oh yeah!”
“Shoot those mother fu*kers!”
Dratttatt!
“Finally something to do,my hands have been itching for action since!”
Soon the sounds of bullet casings richochetting on the walls was the only thing that could be heard as some of the monsters were finally able to get to the moat.
The function of the wall gunners was very simple—man the wall and using the advantage of their high position monitor the whole battlefield and kill one or two monster that got too close for comfort.
It was that simple!
It was just that most if not all the time they rarely had anything to do since the monsters were usually destroyed before they even had the chance to get close.
However this time they finally had the chance to shine!
Cocking the sniper rifle,Ethan placed it on the gaps between the wall while peering into the periscope. Placing his hands on the trigger he closed his eyes.
Breathe in ,breathe out…
The moment his eyelids closed it was like all the sounds of battle dissapeared totally with the world turning into an empty void.
If either Greg or Burt saw his they would be slack jawed from shock because this was the legendary void heart state!
Just from the name you'll be able to glimpse the perks. It basically removed any and all factors that distracted an individual from concentrating allowing them to achieve three times the result with normal effort!
In this case,he would be able to make insane calculations in a span of milliseconds. This was an ability that could only be chanced upon and not searched for.
Ethan however was oblivious to all these as his index finger remained on the trigger.
“Target is at least six hundred meters away, possessed a dense armour plate around it's body with the only vulnerabilities being the cracks in it's shoulder plate and the thin gap in centre of it's head….”
Applying a tiny amount of pressure more he slightly twisted the rifle while shooting at the same time.
Naturally as a sniper rifle without the silencer attached the sound of it's firing would definitely be loud and clear for all to hear.
BAAANG!
Like an explosion,the bullet whistled past the air,rushing straight through the battlefield while avoiding all the bodies in it's direction. It was as if there was a guidance system onboard it as it didn't even accidentally hit another monster or powermaster on the battlefield. Even if there was a close shave it was usually not more than a few millimeters!
Practically the bullet seemed to have ‘eyes’ for only it's target….
And the most astonishing thing was that all these happened in the time it took one to blink!
SWISH
CRACK
The sound of a bullet piercing flesh was immediately followed by the sickening sound of bone being crushed. The next moment everyone,monsters included suddenly backed off from each other as huge and long body fell down from the crown of the trees seperating the two into two groups.
BAM!!!
The body was so huge that it raised a mini storm cloud that totally obscured everyone's sight.
Cough, cough, cough!
Finally after a few minutes everyone was able to see what fell down from the tree and the shock couldn't be hidden. Even Tyson who was a tough man was so shocked he wasn't able to close his open mouth.
“What the hell is that?"
Staring at the now dead reptile on the floor all the humans couldn't believe their eyes.
With a body that was over twenty meteres long and a width that was twice that of a fuel barrel this thing wasn't just a monster,no rather it was a terror among monsters!
If titanoboa was still alive it probably would have looked like this! Judging from energy waves coming off this thing it was probably at the commander stage!
Wait a minute everyone paused as the cold sweat started to fall from their heads ….was that thing staying atop their heads since all these while?
Gulp!
There was a collective gulp from the human side as they dared not imagine what would happen if this ‘titanoboa’ got the chance to attack!
Looking at it's equally huge head,everyone could finally spot why it dropped down dead causing another wave of shock to ripple through the crowd.
A tiny bullet hole,too small to be noticed unless you really looked out for it was gobsmack in the centre of the monsters head.
One hit headshot!
If the manticore headshot from before was to be rated as A-tier then this should probably be rankless as it was just too perfect.
The monsters on the other hand were clearly not as excited as their human counterparts as they stared at the dead monster that was their leader.
Without hesitation they all turned tail and staterd to flee.
However would the humans allow them to do as they wished?
Never!.
And so a never imagined scene whereby monsters were running from humans ensued.
“Kill em bastards! all of em!”
“Take this!”
“Rooooar!”
Soon sounds of battle soon resumed however this time it was not of humans and beasts fighting,rather it was of human massacring beasts. They were essentially cutting them down like a mower running through a lawn!
And anytime a monster turned back in a desperate attempt to duke it out with a human there was always a guaranteed perfect hole in it's head.
With the help from the mysterious sniper it was simply a massacre!
Observing the situation below,a surprised look could be seen on Ethan's face as he started at the rifle in his grasp.
“I never knew that I was this good with guns. It's so easy..”
At first when he picked this gun it was just because he wanted to not that he really knew how to use it properly. After watching Greg and Burt's super short though,he suddenly had this premonition that he would be able to wield the weapon.
Lo and behold! He did use it and he used it like a pro!
“If I told anyone that this is the first time I held a gun would they believe me?”
Grinning,he stroked the rifle finding it more appealing to his eyes.
Meanwhile the other gunners were unable to talk as all of them were just staring at him like they had seen a monster. Their stare was so intense that even Ethan noticed it..
“W-were you previously in the military or something? How did you do that?!” with a trembling voice that betrayed his shock Mike asked.
At this point, Mike felt like a joke when he remembered how he had run his mouth earlier. If not for the fact that they were still in battle he would have found somewhere to hid from shame. But first things first,he had to know how he was able to kill that snake monster and he was not the only one that was interested either as the other wall gunners all paid attention at him with burning stares.
While they were far away from the battlefield,the snake monster was huge enough that it's death was simply impossible to miss. Coupled with the ear shattering report of the rifle they knew he was the one that killed it.
Scratching the back of his head in awkwardness he contemplated on telling them the truth.
Well they should be able to believe it right?
With a serious face he started.
“ Would you believe it if i said this is my first time using a gun?”
Everyone :"....”

The hell they would believe that. Hearing his response,Mike felt like giving Ethan a knock but he dared not. Who knew what the kid still had up his sleeves! Never touched a gun before? As if I'll believe that! However the expression on his face said otherwise as he continued asking with a big smile on his face. “Wow you must be a prodigy then,or are you a powermaster?” There was other explanation that Mike could think of except the kid being a powermaster. However,the reply was the direct opposite. “No.” “Oh I thought you were…” Seeing the kid shake his head Mike actually felt bad for him. Just like all of them that were on this wall they were all ordinary civilians who could only watch the select few fight it out down below. Who's blood wouldn't boil when he saw the climatic battle below?But then when he remembered the insane gun skills he displayed his mood soured immediately. Unlike he and the other wall gunners who were just ordinary civilians with a bit of skil

Arrgh… Looking at his brother's corpse dangling from the claw of the devil ape Thomas's eyes turned red. “I'll kill you!" "Hehehehe." Hearing the angry roar of the puny human before it the ape wasn't able to suppress it's laughter. Tossing the dead body on it's claw aside it started to make it's way towards the last remaining human that was still standing. Although these few humans were not that strong they were able to cause it a surprising amount of damage. It was humiliating to even think about it. And the only way to wipe away that humiliation was to kill off this last human. While it might not be able to speak it still understood stuff and it wasn't difficult to understand that this human and the dead one were related. It also had an understanding of what the two spoke about which it found extremely comical. Regardless of how angry this human kneeling before it was feeling nothing was going to change. He was still going to die under his fists. Huff huffSeein

Seeing this General Lebronsky who was already tired from having to deal with new problems before finishing the old ones surged with annoyance. “Talk will you!” “Sor-sorry general.” Taking a deep breath,the soldier was finally able to compose himself before saying with difficulty. “Camp Raisin was attacked." "What did you say?!” Abruptly the general rose up from his seat while a wild dangerous aura spread outwards from him causing the young soldier to uncontrollably step back in fear. “Oh!” Looking at the pale face of the soldier General Lebronsky quickly reined back his aura in. He had just been injected with the powermaster serum and was still in the process of getting used to the changes it brought to him therefore there were occasional leaks that he couldn'

RAISING CAMP OLD MILITARY TRAINING GROUNDS OUTSKIRTS OF BARNES CITY…. The setting sun painted the skies overhead a fiery red making it seem like the heavens themselves were set on on fire. The could cover was extremely thin allowing the spectacular scene to be in full view. Roars and screeches from monster's could be heard frequently in the surrounding forests. While some monsters were calling it a day, others were just starting theirs. Generally speaking night time was the time when most monsters were extra active. In fact some weak monsters that were usually spotted during during the day actually became more aggressive and powerful during the night. Getting stuck without a shelter or an hiding place would spell immediate death for such an individual. The inhabitants of camp Raisin were also making preparations for the night. Sentries had been deployed to monitor the four corners and walls of the camp. Huge searchlights had also been mounted on the watchtowers to p

The first thing that entered his eyes was the huge circular metal table situated at the centre of the room. Seated around this table were the members of the Stinging nettles though they were visibly missing two members. The next thing was how bright the room was and the fact that there were some communication equipment there. In fact there was a wall mounted screen that was showing a 3D map of sorts directly opposite him. It was like this place was never cut off from the grid. How was that possible?! Since day one of the apocalypse power had been totally cut off with all electrical appliances and gadgets turning useless. Plus this place was on the outskirts of Barnes city,in an abandoned military training base!Even if there was electricity here previously,there shouldn't be any here now. This however, further affirmed his belief that what was about to be said in this room would definitely be weighty. It might truly affect the continued existence of the Raisin camp!

Honestly speaking,Thomas felt that he wasn't supposed to ask this question. In fact he shouldn't have asked if he was being logical here. However as the leader of the Raisin camp now he just had to. He had to be selfish for the lives of the over two hundred people that was at stake if he didn't. Looking at their faces he could see the hesitation and reluctance causing him to feel like this was a lost cause. He couldn't blame them though as their fears were pretty understandable. They had just fought with a commander tier monster and it totally wrecked them. Going up a against a Xenogenic Alpha tier monster two tiers higher?,that would just be like serving up their lives on a platter! They had visited the borders of death once and they weren't ready to visit it anytime soon. I guess I'll just tell the general that we'll not be joining the raid. Brother I tried but……sigh.

Thankfully the tent had been upgraded into a bigger size thus accommodating everyone. “Is the neural connection stable?" “Yes we're at fifty megaherts right now." " Good, get you bring me a firse cable.” On a table,the corpse of a monster could be seen with countless wires sticking out of it's exposed brain.

Today was the fourth day since it had last eaten and right now it was not an exaggeration to say that it could eat anything. While it could go out hunting,it dared not to as most of the monsters out there were stronger than it. It was just a rogue tier,venturing near them would be just like offering itself up for dinner! Thus it had devised this method of lying in wait by the roadside just to ambush it's unknowing prey and it was working out pretty fine as it git more food to eat. Ever since it had started this method it couldn't help but feel continuous pride in itself for devising this method. And it's prey you might ask?

Demon fang mountain Countless military trucks and armoured tanks with the AADAF central military base logo could be seen making their way over the rugged mountain terrain. Despite how bad the road was,the vehicles hardly shook all thanks to how well designed they were. At a single glance there were about thirty vehicles here! “Halt! Where here." Inside the drivers compartment of each of the vehicles General Lebronsky's voice could be heard causing every car to come to a stop. “Fall into formation now!" Giving the next order,the soldiers in each of the trucks quickly rushed out of the vehicles before falling into neat formations. Clearly they had practiced this for a while now. Walking out of the military jeep that he was in , General Lebronsky along with the other powermasters from the volunteering camps made their way over. “Men…were here. This is the lair of the Xenogenic Alpha blade. I'm sure that your leaders have already explained the situation to you so I won't

Afternoon. The time of the day when the sun was at its peak. Due to the special geography of Barnes city and it's environs it received a lot of sun daily. The highest temperature recorded in the day had once reached a staggering 41 degrees Celsius! While today's temperature wasn't that high it was still hot enough to cause one to sweat bullets. With how hot everywhere was the best thing to do right now would be to sleep and that was what the sentrys of the AADAF base were currently doing. While you might accuse them of slacking off on duty they couldn't really be blamed. Furthermore,the probably wouldn't have anything to do since the monsters that were supposed to attack them would be busy battling the Hellstrike expedition force so they really wouldn't have much to do. The strike force had left the camp over two hours ago and by now they should just be approaching the mountain range,the battle that would decide if humans could continue settling around this area would soon begi

Inside the AADAF central base. The sounds of equipment and artillery being moved around could be heard in the base. Countless personnel were on ground to direct and coordinate the activities currently ongoing. WOOSH, WOOSH, WOOSH! Over a dozen armoured vans wheezed by as they drove towards a mini parking lot where they halted while military grade trucks reversed so that the ammunitions and supplies could be placed in them. Operation Hellstrike commenced today! Well technically not today as it had started ever since General Lebronsky first tabled the idea. However,in a sense it was still right as this was the first time that something tangible would be done. Previously the only thing being done was just preparations,today was the day that they would really advance to put the operation in motion. “Today finally came!" Standing at the edge of the window of the finally completed command center general Lebronsky muttered under his breath as he watched the proceedings bel

On the highway leading out of Barnes city,a truck could be seen rushing past the buildings . There was a black motorcycle in the back while four people consisting of three men and a lady sat surrounding it. Inside the truck there were two men,one driving while the other was well not really doing anything bringing the total to six. Suddenly from one of the abandoned houses on the side of the road a tiger like monster suddenly jumped out with the intention of ambushing the truck. However,before it could even step on the asphalt,there was a bang and it fell on the spot having received a bullet to the head. Blowing the smoke off the tip of the gun,the shooter proceeded to place the weapon by his side while watching the number faces of his co travellers. As you might have guessed,the group was none other than Ethan and the five man group from earlier in the day. They were currently travelling together to the AADAF central base. Concerning the event that happened in the morning,

Taking off the helmet,the rider turned out to be none other than Ethan. “Luckily I was able to get here before nightfall.” By now the sun had just fully set and everywhere had gone dark. He really was lucky. After removing the key from the ignition and ensuring that everything was set,he started to make his way into the store but not before grabbing his weapons. Pushing the double glass doors open,he entered with utmost caution while gripping the saber with both hands,the sniper rifle on his back. Taking slow steps to minimize the noise from stepping on the shattered glass he soon fully entered. There was no way anything would catch him off guard like this! After entering though it seemed like there was nothing to worry about as there was no sign of a monster in the vicinit
