The humans were now exhausted. Many were so tired they could no longer stand up, close to being useless in battle. They were incapable of aiming and pulled their triggers mindlessly, causing their bullets to fly all over the place. The majority of them did not possess any combat experience. Watching the monsters crash into the defensive walls, Oliver shouted, "Rozi, do you have any ideas? The walls will be destroyed soon!"Rozi answered as she slayed another bird monster, "We've got reinforcements on the way.""What?" Oliver was stunned, and so were the others. They looked toward the city outskirts and saw a container truck rushing toward them. Several fully geared women were crouched on top of the truck, shooting at the surrounding monsters with excellent marksmanship. They wasted not a single bullet. Every shot hit one monster in the head.The truck ran over the monsters that stood in its way, barreling down the street and sending monsters flying. Upon arriving at the vicinity
Everyone retreated and ran for the underground parking lot. The city walls began to tremble even more now that nobody was defending them. It would not be long before they were destroyed. Oliver and Cian joined the other survivors in retreating.As the temporary defensive walls crumbled, the survivors dove into the parking lot, closing the fire-resistant doors behind them. The whole place was pitch-black, and everyone crumpled onto the floor, gasping raspily. "Everyone managed to retreat," Oliver said through his communicator.Padraig yelled out, "Ms. Helen! Everyone is safe and the walls have come down!" Helen returned to the truck and said, "Sisters, get in!" "Okay!"The women leaped into the air and grabbed the top of the truck with one hand, firing their guns at the surrounding monsters with the other. Padraig and his men felt like puking as they sat in the rattling container, unaccustomed to battling in such a crude way. Bam!!! The truck flew over the rubble of the wal
The number of monsters slowly dwindled until there were less than a hundred of them left. An hour later, carcasses littered the city, with only a couple more monsters lurking on the streets. Thanks to the snipers, they were able to take down every last one of them. "All monsters killed. Mission complete," one of the women on the high ground reported. Everyone smiled happily and high-fived each other in celebration. However, their clothes were heavily drenched in green monster blood. "Good work, everyone," Helen said with a smile. Rozi heaved a sigh of relief and landed on a street.Helen and her sisters approached Rozi. Reaching out her hand, Helen said with a smile, "You fight pretty well. You're an immortal, aren't you? My name's Helen. Nice to meet you."Rozi, now used to modern greetings, reached out her hand and shook Helen's. "I'm genuinely mesmerized by how well you all work together. My name's Abioye Rozi. Please, call me Rozi, and it's a pleasure to meet you all.""
"Let's keep it short.” Adrian waved.Helen smiled wryly as she thought of their lives that were filled with twists and turns. She said, "Monarch Crystal gave us jobs after you saved us and sent us to Delven County. We lived our lives in peace for a while. We just got settled into ordinary life and were about to find life partners when suddenly everyone in the county disappeared, including many of our sisters. We found this place after we left the county, but what's happening?"Although Helen and the others had plucked up the courage to face whatever battles awaited them, they had no idea who or what they were up against.Adrian felt consoled after hearing her story. The Creator's reset was completely random, which meant everyone had a fifty percent chance of surviving the reset. The chaos was great, but he had a few advantages. Many talented people had been left behind and could be added to his forces. If the Creator could select who he wanted to reset, he would surely have erased t
Adrian gave everyone their assignments before they got into their respective trailers and left Gold Haven. There was a heavy mood in the air, and nobody knew how much longer they could last.***Although the world had been reset, the survivors had not lost hope. As Adrian and the others departed from Gold Haven, Jerome was bringing down all the monsters in Yelloton. The city had ample resources, and Jerome was using these resources to link up all the safe zones within the city. On top of that, he was trying to restore the power. It was the only way to reactivate the wireless signals. They needed to maintain contact with the outside world if they wished to defend the place. Jerome had no intention of leaving Yelloton. He wanted to secure the place before even thinking about going anywhere else, and he was not the only one bust at work. Evercrest Mountain was located at one of the ten military strategic points of Novemton's natural moat. This place was between Northern Navia and Ex
Aurelion was confused by Strider's instructions. "Sir, we've got a hundred and fifty thousand men, so why not send all of them? Wouldn't that increase our chances of winning?"Strider glanced at Aurelion before jumping down from the tree. "None of our men have had a proper meal over the past seven days, so they won't be at their fighting best. Plus, we don’t need that many people. By my count, ten thousand of our elites will do the trick."Aurelion took a deep breath. He had no doubts about Strider's abilities. When the Eight Hollows invaded them, everyone saw how Strider had defended their country on Jerome's behalf. Thus, Aurelion said, "On your orders, sir." Strider instructed, "Have everyone bring all their food and redistribute them to our brothers who will be storming the base. Let's give them a proper meal before they go. We storm the base in two hours.""Yes, sir." Aurelion immediately made the arrangements.All the remaining food was gathered and Strider picked out five
Strider looked up at the giant shadow in the sky and continued, "Do you see those eyes up there? It's staring at us as we speak. We've lost more than half of our men, and I think it's the same everywhere else. There’s a chance they’re no longer alive. Also, I'm not actually worried about them. Instead, it's…""What is it?" Aurelion asked. Strider pointed to the sky. "The fact that it's watching us means there will be more monsters when we attack the base. What should we do then?""A-Are you saying the number of monsters will increase?" Aurelion asked in shock."I think that shadow is the one who sent all those monsters here, so if it's still watching us, there's no way it will allow us to reclaim our base so easily. The shadow will probably send more monsters when we make our move.""Is that why you aren’t sending all of our men into the base?" "The more men I send in, the more monsters we'll have to face. This is our only option. I need you to arrange for a second group if the
A bloody battle broke out at the foot of Evercrest Mountain. Horns sounded, lightning struck, and blood splattered through the air. The soldiers charged into the base, relentlessly fighting against the monsters. Strider led the charge, entering the enemy’s ranks with his team. They were going to take up the most advantageous position inside the base, allowing them access to more advanced weaponry.***While the battle at Evercrest Mountain ensued, Sage was leading her own group across a grassy plain thousands of kilometers away. They were outside Geras City, a third-tier city located on the Geras Plains. Sage had been defending the city's borders when the reset happened.There were close to fifty thousand men all over the plains, each of them armed and fighting against the monsters charging out of Geras City. Half of the eight hundred and seventy thousand soldiers under Sage’s command were lost during the reset. Now, she was left with approximately two hundred and thirty thousand.
