"Leader, aren't we supposed to protect the southern district?" Leyana asked, furrowing her brows.
Indeed, they were a division tasked with security, and it was their duty to protect the city from various threats.
"But, do you forget who we are?"
Leyana was shocked by this statement, her expression faltering with pursed lips. "We are G4, tasked with securing against all anomalies," she replied weakly.
"That's right, we are the ones who must carry out the duty of eliminating all threats!"
However, despite all the explanations, Leyana's face remained uneasy. She continued to bow her head, wearied. Her head felt reluctant to lift, slowly feeling a gentle touch.
Her pupils widened suddenly, her eyes showing surprise at what was happening, then she raised her head.
"Eh..."
It was Zeigar's hand, already friendly, reaching out to touch her head.
"You stay here with the others; I entrust the task of protecting this city to you! If I don't return, I hope you'll become the leader of this division!"
Leyana's heart pounded; it wasn't words of encouragement but a farewell that couldn't simply be accepted.
"Leader, don't say that!" Leyana exclaimed, her cheeks continuously furrowing. "I know this is our duty, but you don't need to speak as if there won't be any chance to meet again after this! Promise us that you'll come back...."
Zeigar smiled upon hearing this, his firm demeanor beginning to weaken due to the genuine concern of one of his subordinates.
"Yes, I'll do my best..."
Having said that, Zeigar heard that all members were ready to move to the location.
It was known that currently G4 had 10 members, including 1 leader, Zeigar. 4 members included vehicle operators, while 6 were tasked with guarding the southern district.
They were all prepared for the consequences of this event, but it wasn't unusual; they had done this several times before. Leyana's impression at that moment was exaggerated; she often worried about Zeigar, whom she regarded as an elder sibling.
With Zeigar added, there were now 5 members participating in this movement, waiting in the back carriage.
"Today, we're going hunting!" Zom exclaimed eagerly.
"Yes, I can't wait to hunt them down! How dare they attack the relatively weak southern district!" Ham replied, clapping his hands together.
The other two members chose to remain silent, a woman named Nelia and a young man who had joined just a month ago, Rega.
Zeigar unlike the other members, wasn't enthusiastic. Today, he was more serious. Leyana's words had influenced his thoughts as if they signaled that something bad would happen to him.
"Leader?" Nelia spontaneously asked due to Zeigar's expression looked tense.
Zeigar's face immediately turned. "What?"
"Nothing, I just noticed that you were silent earlier. Is there a problem?"
Zeigar became increasingly reluctant to respond to these words, but currently, all members were looking at him. Their vehicle sped up, the wind blowing fiercely.
"Dohn, how long until we reach the monsters' location?" he asked loudly.
"Well, according to the directions, we'll arrive in less than 40 minutes; their speed seems to have slowed down!"
"Slowed down?" Zeigar glanced to the left with a clear crease in his brow. But, he quickly returned to focus after seeing that, the members of the carriage were still waiting for an answer to his previous question.
He slowly exhaled amidst all this suffocating silence.
"This time, we'll defeat the monsters who have attacked the southern district. I understand that you've faced monsters before, except you, Rega! But don't worry, we're here as a team, and now we'll carry out our duty as security to prevent a disaster like this from coming!"
Everyone nodded with enthusiasm. Zeigar couldn't help but give a proud look; he immediately gave a sharp gaze as a sign of courage.
"I don't understand, why after several months have they never attacked the city, suddenly they attacked the city? Don't you think that's odd?" Ham asked, triggering a brainstorming session among them.
"Yeah, I don't know either! Maybe they got bored with the food in the wild, so they decided to attack where humans reside!" Zom replied.
These two young men had a lot of experience. Besides Zeigar, who was skilled, these two were also highly trained individuals, possessing special skills even before joining G4.They weren't surprised by this; for over 80 years, the area outside the city had been invaded by brutal monsters. They weren't sure where these creatures came from, but according to historical records, they originated from outer space and then spread a virus that transformed creatures around them into wild monsters.
For some reason, only humans weren't affected by this, and since then, humans have been truly massacred by the wild monsters.
No one knew the current state of the world; all they knew was the immediate surroundings. It seemed the area around the city was barren with no inhabitants, but not far from there was a dense forest.
Currently, the monsters they were chasing were in that forest. If they entered the forest, it would be difficult to find them, and there was even a possibility that other wild monsters would emerge, which would be a bad scenario.
Cliing...
The alarm began to turn the carriage lights red, indicating that their vehicle was nearing the monster's location.
"What's going on?" Zeigar asked.
"The monsters chasing us, they suddenly stopped, then turned around. It seems they've noticed our presence and are now heading towards us..." Dohn explained, panicked.
All members immediately put on serious faces. They who had intended to hunt down the monsters were now being hunted instead.
"Alright..." Zeigar immediately raised his voice. "Let's do our duty as security members; let's make those monsters understand who we really are!"
He easily dispelled the tension in their hearts, and all members immediately prepared to fight.
Dohn quickly changed the route northward, intending to lure the monsters; if they went directly to the monsters, they wouldn't stand a chance.
All members in the carriage began to put on equipment, combat suits that detected who wore them. This would enhance their strength; even ordinary people wearing them would become stronger than usual, and if used by skilled individuals, they would be more dangerous.
But all of that was just to support the actual equipment. They wore special equipment wrapped in hard steel like robots.
"They're getting close; they'll reach this vehicle soon!" Dohn warned.
"Open the carriage..." Zeigar commanded.
And it was immediately obeyed; slowly, the carriage door began to open wide.
"Groagh..."
__To Be Continued__
They never thought that there would be a monster so fast to approach the combat vehicle; this creature forced itself through the carriage which was about to be opened.The sudden shock triggered the alarm system loudly; the members inside were shaken and stumbled."Damn..." Zeigar swiftly pulled out his rifle.Bang...And without further ado, he released a barrage of shots that slammed the monster's body to the ground. It seemed to be sprawled out after being hit.Now, one carriage door was already open, revealing a group of monsters with different forms."Why are they working together? Aren't they creatures of different species?" Nelia asked, her eyes widened in astonishment.Cases like this were rare, even for Zeigar, who had long served as security personnel, rarely encountered such a situation. But, that didn't mean it was impossible."Everyone, prepare your weapons! We'll soon take down these creatures; they're the ones responsible for the suffering of the southern district and h
This situation truly challenges Zeigar and his comrades; they must quickly resolve this problem.However, it's not as easy as that. Indeed, Dohn has started moving towards their location, but it still takes time. On the other side, the monster is already hastening its steps, leaving them with no time left."True..." An idea flashed in Zeigar's mind; immediately, he checked the condition of each member. It appeared that Rega was in a difficult situation, surrounded by monsters."Rega..." Zeigar shouted, making Rega turn his head in surprise."Uh...""Use Flare to blind all the monsters here temporarily.""But..." A situation like this wouldn't be easy to handle, especially for a beginner like him. Even moving his hands were trembling, and here he was instructed to use Flare.Flare is a special ability of the device owned by Rega. When used, it emits a bright light that can blind eyes for a while. Moreover, this effect can also affect those around them."We're out of time. If we don't a
The increase in strength had already occurred, with high speed attacks toward the monsters. The condition that made those monsters confused gave an advantage to Zeigar.Crash..."Tsk...." But, even though there was an increase in strength, it didn't mean it would give a weakness against the monsters.For example, the gorilla monster, the monster's body defense was considered very strong to the point that it was not easy to injure. Zeigar's sword pierced, and it was difficult to pull it back.Dash...And, this immediately made Zeigar's body a soft target, he rolled several meters, but still managed to get up. Damage to his equipment occurred.Thirty percent of his equipment was damaged, but it was still good enough to use.Tap! Tap...His eyes looked towards the source of the sound, it turned out to be the monster he had seen earlier. It seemed the creature didn't stop, instead, it moved to chase the combat vehicle that was driving.Deliberately, Dohn slowed down this vehicle, he knew
Zom wondered in his mind if he had done something wrong for Rega to stare at him so seriously like this."What?" Zom asked boldly."Can you shoot this?"Zom looked at the round object in Rega's hand, and it turned out to be a Flare Ball that would emit bright light when used.Quickly, Zom grabbed the ball, realizing that was the remaining chance."Alright, I'll do it." After saying this, he inserted the ball into the muzzle of the rifle, which seemed fitting for it.This was not a bullet or ammunition that could be launched right away. If the desired speed was to be achieved, it wouldn't be able to inflict damage.Dohn glanced back to assess the situation, seeing that Zom had already aimed the rifle upwards."What is he going to do?"Dash...Rumbling occurred again, the monster's hand was becoming more visible, and even its head could now enter, soon destroying the carriage.Bangs...Zom patiently waited for the right moment, then he saw the face of the monster about to peek into the
The security system had detected a signal, and after checked, it was identified as a G4 vehicle engaged in pursuit."We request permission to re-enter the city environment!" Dohn exclaimed to the security monitor.The security monitor members were immediately confused. They noticed the combat vehicle seemed to have suffered damage, with dents on the top.Arriving in the city area, they headed straight to the G4 headquarters. On the city streets, some people took notice of the vehicle, even able to see the gloomy faces of its passengers.Upon reaching the headquarters, some other members were already awaiting their arrival. They were greeted by Lara and Leyana.All the members got out of the vehicle, but they didn't seem enthusiastic. Some realized the members present were incomplete."Where's Leader Zeigar?" Leyana asked, her tone filled with hope.They couldn't provide the answer she hoped for; their eyes remained downcast.Leyana's face turned pale instantly. Without being told, she
"So that's how it is!" Hinz snorted firmly after Lara explained everything that had happened. But, with determination, he looked towards the four G4 members who were present.They all seemed subdued, merely lowering their faces with expressions full of regret."Commander, allow us to send some members to save Leader Zeigar..." Lara immediately requested this, her tone firm as she spoke."Hmmm..." Hinz snorted, observing the seriousness of this woman. Then he said, "I refuse..."All pulses suddenly surged, no one expected Hinz to easily say such a thing, especially since Zeigar was known to always obey the commander's orders."But why can't we conduct a search?" Lara asked, her tone rising."It's pointless, Zeigar is likely already dead, he wouldn't survive in an environment filled with monsters! It's useless for you to search for him, it would only waste time and energy, not to mention the losses that would be incurred! I heard the combat vehicle that should support the safety of ever
Inside the room, Anne entered with a tablet in her hand. She immediately handed it to Hinz, who was sitting while checking the database."Commander, I've received a report that Force has eliminated the monsters attacking the northern defense territory...""Good..." He took the tablet and showed how the report was loaded with several writings and accompanied by a video.He played the video and then showed Leyana's fighting skills. The woman's abilities were difficult to predict, able to move very quickly and bring death to the monsters.As many as 300 monsters were successfully eliminated, which was hard to believe. Certainly, for normal people, eliminating creatures like raptors would be impossible, but Leyana and the Force members proved otherwise.They were able to do this, supported by advanced equipment providing the best opportunities. But, this did not make Leyana happy at all.She had been the most brutal in eliminating the monsters.Leyana didn't like to talk about anything, e
This man is known as Stanley, and he kindly provides food in the form of meat and vegetables. But the man in front of him prefers meat, he doesn't even like plants. He eagerly eats the meat, no wonder the man needs nutrition, after not waking up for 6 long years, Stanley almost lost hope the man would ever be saved.A truly unexpected miracle, even though he has been asleep for quite a long, the man is still healthy as if he just woke up."You indeed have such a big appetite..." Stanley said.Once finished eating, the man raised his head, looking puzzled at Stanley's words."Am I not supposed to eat this kind of food?" he asked innocently."No, you're not wrong, you do need a lot of nutrients right now, your condition is not very good! However, you still have to endure the problems that arise...""I see..."Stanley stood up, then he went to the door. "I'll go first, you stay here! While I'm gone, don't do anything, stay calm, and later I will tell you something..."Left alone in this
