Doomsday Pillars

Yuda was a former member of the black snake gang who joined in the star army. However, because he deserted, the result was the death of other troops, he was given the choice to receive military punishment or exile from the base. In the end, he chose to bring some of his closest colleagues out of the base. The last two months, he went back to Black Snake Island. But two weeks ago, when their supply was running low, he was finally forced to return to Bali.

Not long after that, he began capturing and forcing several people with threats and gifts. One by one, his group became bigger and needed more weapons. Finally, the idea arose to trap and seize the equipment of the Star Army troops. He thought as long as with enough weapons he could easily move to another island and become the king of that island.

But tonight, his fortune had finally ended. He had never thought this place would be harboring such a terrible monster. This monster had completely decimated his 50 troops in less than 5 minutes. He did not know how many had survived. How could humans win against this monster. But there was only one thing he could do... It was to escape.

"Lieutenant Chrisss run! Run immediately!"

Without saying anything more, Yuda immediately ran toward the stairs down to the first floor ... but Dylan caught and tackled him down onto the floor.

"Where is the Octo unit?"

"Sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean too. But they are... they are dead... all are dead! Let me go! let go! It’s coming! It’s coming!!!"

THUD! THUD!

The giant black monster, almost as high as the ceiling, was only dozens meters away from their position. Some of the new troops around Dylan trembled.

"Lieutenant Chris..."

"Don’t shoot!"

"If the monster in front is a third-level zombie, then according to our intel, our firearms will not hurt it. Wait for my signal, all of you are to immediately run out of this room and call for reinforcements."

Lieutenant Chris threw a grenade at the monster and either by luck or by stupidity the monster caught it.

"Now!"

Kabooommm !!!!

The grenade exploded right in the monster’s hand and it screamed in pain as the whole unit ran toward the main door. But Dylan saw Lieutenant Chris not running toward the stairs, instead, he ran the other way while shooting at the monster.

Tratatatatatatat Tratatatatat !!!

"Lieutenant!"

Dylan understood that his boss was trying to lure the monster away. Dylan thought for a moment to help the Lieutenant, but Cynthia’s sudden shout made him discouraged.

"Come on everyone!"

Dylan ran with everyone as he picked up and pushed Yuda to get out immediately. Before he walked down the stairs, he saw Lieutenant Chris throwing several grenades back at the monster while still running away

Kaboomm!! Kaboomm!!

This time, the black monster avoided the grenades with ease. With the previous explosion destroying one of its arms, the monster looked very angry and ran after Lieutenant Chris. Lieutenant Chris who had reached the Peak Stage of Mortal Realm was the strongest fighter in platoon 077. Only he can do this task.

Dylan and Cynthia, together with their unit, manage to get out of the supermarket. But the horde of zombies had increased to at least two or three times from before they had entered. Dozens of red zombies were also among the horde but facing them was far better than fighting the black zombie. They should be able to use their firearms to escape.

Tratatata Tratatatatat!

The two unit leaders, who were outside, ran closer as soon as Dylan and the others came out.

"What’s the matter? Where is Lieutenant Chris?"

"Call the nearest post immediately for help. Tell the threat of stage 3 zombies in this position."

"!!!"

All members of this team knew about stage 3 black zombies. They just didn’t expect to find it in this yellow zone. Dylan, the most senior in this platoon, took over command and looked for the best location to escape from the crowd of zombies.

"There! We’ll take the small alley between the two buildings!"

Six grenades were simultaneously thrown at the horde.

Kaboomm! Kaboomm! Kaboomm!

Grenades were actually not very effective against this horde of zombies, but the explosions of several grenades were effective enough to bring down dozens of zombies.

"Cynthia, your unit lead the front, opening the way, the other teams will guard the right and left wings. My unit will guard the rear. Everyone, let’s go!"

Tratatatata! Tratatatat!

Dozens of red zombies began to surround them because it was agile and not easy to shoot.

Tratatatata Taratatata

"Watch your bullets, reload your firearms in turns."

Dylan could only despair seeing a growing horde of zombies.

The distance between the supermarket and the road was about 100 meters. As all 40 armed people took turns firing, they finally arrived at the small alley after a minute. Dylan heard a sound and he suddenly looked at the direction of the supermarket when a figure flew out of the window.

"!!!"

"Lieutenant!!"

Lieutenant Chris was thrown from a second-floor window and fell in the middle of a crowd of zombies.

"We have to help him!" shouted one of the troops. But before Dylan could speak, another figure jumped out through the same window. It was the giant black monster and landed near the Lieutenant.

Cynthia walked over to Dylan. "We have to help him."

Dylan was silent for a moment. Should they return to help the lieutenant or run? Before, they believed that Lieutenant Chris could escape by himself but the conditions this time were different. They could see clearly if they didn’t help, the Lieutenant would die. But if he did, he would endanger these 40 people.

Because of the presence of the black monster, no other zombies dared to approach Chris. The black monster lifted Chris with the hand that was previously destroyed by a grenade. In less than 5 minutes, it had grown again as if nothing happened. The hand, which was as big as an adult tree trunk, clenched at the Lieutenant’s body.

Lieutenant Chris screamed in pain as his bloodied body and bones felt the pressure from the grip.

Dylan noticed that the monster’s eyes were intent on watching him and his army. Lieutenant Chris was already in its grasp. Why didn’t it kill the Lieutenant immediately? It looked like intel on level three Zombies was correct. This black zombie was not like other zombies.

Level one zombies just attack without thinking, level two zombies followed its instincts like most wild animals. While level three zombies have high intellectual abilities. This level three zombie was luring them to rescue its prey. It was disconcerting.

But Cynthia couldn’t take it anymore. "If you’re scared, then stay here!"

"Cynthia wait!"

Cynthia was already running, followed by four strongest members who possessed high-level mortal realm stage.

Tratatatat tratatatat

Cynthia and two people used firearms while the other two used melee weapons. Five people lunged forward to approach the black monster. However, as soon as they arrived at a distance of 10 meters from the monster, Lieutenant Chris suddenly shouted loudly.

ARRAGAHHH!!!

The five people ran faster and did not pay attention to their surroundings. As Cynthia’s assault rifle ran out of bullets, she threw the firearm and replaced it with two pistols attached to her thighs. She continued shooting at the black monster.

Bang! Clank Bang! Clank!

Like shooting at an iron door, the monster didn’t budge.

While the two people, who used guns, shot the zombies around. The other two pushed forward and used their iron rod and spear.

Hiiiaaattt!!!

The two attacked simultaneously the black monster who was stronger and faster than a peak-level realm mortal fighter.

Unexpectedly, the black monster threw the unconscious Lieutenant toward the fighter who used a rod. The impact was so hard that it made the fighter with the rod fell several meters towards the horde of zombies.

The fighter who uses the spear saw an opening and jumped to attack the black monster’s head.

Clank!

The attack did not hurt it at all. The spear fighter, still in the air, immediately regretted his action as a large hand came near his sights and slapped him to the ground.

BAAMMM !!

As easy as slapping a mosquito, the fighter never thought that this monster had such strength. He couldn’t move his body on the ground as he watched a giant foot hover above him. He could only close his eyes and then...

CRAAKKK !!

Seeing that terrible sight, Cynthia and the other two fighters felt lost. What should she do now? What can she do?

The black monster shouted.

ROARRRR!!!

It jumped high and fell right on the shooter standing near Cynthia.

CRACKkKk !!

That man was dead instantly. The other shooter tried to run but the large arm caught him.

"AAaaaa!!! No No!!!"

The unlucky man struggled but it was for nothing. The monster opened its mouth full of fangs like a crocodile’s mouth and bit his head.

CRUNNCH!

And then throw the rest like trash that you don’t need anymore.

"!!!"

Cynthia stood blankly, thinking her life would end here. She whispered a name that was always on her mind. "Barry... Looks like I’ll catch up with you quickly."

Cynthia did not run. Instead, she walked toward the black monster while firing both of her pistols

Bang Bang Bang Bang Click!

The moment her bullets ran out, the monster raised its hand to sweep her away. She wanted to avoid it, but her whole body could not move.

Kaboomm!!!

A sudden explosion at the foot of the monster made the monster fall as it missed its attack on Cynthia. A man then swooped over and carried Cynthia as they ran away.

"Dylan!"

"Stupid girl! Do you want to lose your life? Do you really want to meet Barry so soon?"

"...It’s because of Barry! Like Barry, I won’t run away, I’m not afraid!"

"You’re really a stupid girl! Everyone feels fear, Barry too! But what you did was not courage, this is foolishness. Barry wouldn’t want you to throw your life away!"

"..."

Dylan ran with all his strength among the crowd of zombies but not more than 20 meters away, he suddenly felt a pressure approaching towards him.

"!!!"

Dylan immediately jumped sideways.

BAAAAMMMM !!!

The black monster landed right where they were before. It was very close! But because of the sudden jump, they both lost balance and fell on the ground.

The monster was only 3 meters in front of them. Cynthia tried to stand up but her knees did not have the strength. Dylan got up and immediately stood in front of Cynthia.

What can they do against this monster? There is nothing! They can only hope in miracles.
