Ghae -grg ㅡ 륵 ㅡ

It’s a monster.

“Fuck. Wooo! Cough, cluck, cluck! Why is that here… .”

Blood and flesh fly everywhere.

My colleague, who had been laughing and chatting with me just moments ago, was no longer able to move and was being trampled by the monster’s feet.

The fishy scent irritated the tip of my nose and then paralyzed it, and the pollution coming in with the monsters was dyeing the soil an ominous purple color.

The contaminated area is once again invading the area where an advance base was created after barely being purified.

That’s right – that’s it!

A monster that resembles a frog, of course, is dozens of times larger and emits toxic substances from its shell, is spreading the contaminated area faster.

thud! thud! thud!

Gwaooo!!!!!!!

Kwaaa!!

Argh!! help me!!

The tyranny of monsters that destroy the base with such ease that it is absurd.

They were showing overwhelming destructive power, as if there was nothing they could do no matter how hard you struggled.

There was nothing I could do about what they were doing.

A feeling of helplessness comes over me.

“Well, don’t…” Cough!”

I’m crying -!

I wanted to pour out my anger and tell him not to do it, but all that came out of my mouth was blood.

Organs that had been crushed and exploded because they could not overcome the toxicity were pouring out through the blood.

‘Be prepared… I should have… .’

They had been guarding the front line of the contaminated zone for a long time and were closely watching changes in the contaminated zone.

No, I thought so.

Looking back on the past, I think there were times when I ignored strange signals that I should have looked at carefully.

As I worked on a yearly basis, I let my guard down without realizing it.

I wanted to get discharged quickly.

Because I was sick of the polluted zone.

‘It never should have happened like that… .’

I should have prepared in advance.

Hindsight regrets are useless.

Gradually the pain disappears.

My body loses strength.

Just like that, the man’s life wasted away in vain.

“Save me… Give it… !”

“Huh! omg! omg! no… no!! This can’t be happening!! Argh!!”

Monster Wave.

Dozens or hundreds of monsters trampled the forward base.

People who were having a peaceful time there died without even having a chance to escape.

The sudden surprise attack was just as fatal.

‘To what extent… ‘How far should I run away?’

The few survivors managed to escape for their lives.

The problem is that I have no idea how far I should run.

‘What if I run away to the city like this?’

Monsters were constantly pouring out, as if the reason the contaminated area had been calmly holding its breath was because of today’s surprise attack.

It’s not like they neglected to clean up the contaminated area.

I knew that the number of monsters was strangely decreasing, but I thought that was a good thing.

How could they have known that monsters would work together to prepare such a large-scale attack?

‘How do I stop this? How far are you trying to push in!!’

My legs are shaking with fear.

I don’t know how far I have to run to escape from them.

Then.

“Come this way! Come this way! “Don’t run away, come together!!”

“The injured are here!!! The medics are here!! “Come here and get treatment!!”

“Get the scroll here!! Get the scroll and fight!! “There is a buff scroll!”

Even in a hopeless situation, there was a small spark of hope.

“I survived!”

I didn’t really understand how the front line was created so quickly, but in any case, there was a space provided for the soldiers who had run away to rest and for the medical soldiers to focus on treatment.

Is that it?

Food, drink, medical supplies, and support needed for battle were all prepared.

In addition, there was an iron fence blocking the road that could stop the monsters from advancing.

To anyone watching, it would seem as if they knew this would happen and prepared in advance.

“Are you sure I can take this? “I think he’s a merchant.”

“They all look like they’re going to die, so is money the problem? Get it! “Use as much as you can!”

The soldiers did not ignore the sincerity offered by those who appeared to be merchants.

Go to the medics, heal your body, and quickly join them to stop the monster.

Although they were helpless, these are all soldiers who have been fighting on the front lines for a long time.

If you come to your senses and have a system in place, you have the ability to deal with any number of monsters.

Although they lost their comrades in an unexpected surprise attack, many soldiers still survived.

“Hold the line!! “We must hold out until reinforcements arrive!!!”

There were endless monsters coming, but I knew that fighting them was a better way to survive than running away like a ragtag group.

Therefore, the soldiers each took out their weapons and aimed them at the monsters.

Fighting against terrible pollution is something they have been doing since they were born.

‘Is there a more disgusting sight than this?’

They were such sinful beings that it was hard to understand that they were alive and moving even though they were living things.

“We might die today, right here. No, I will fight to the death right here. And at least one more before I lose my breath!!! I will take those beings of sin with me! Gentlemen, are you afraid of death?”

The soldier in command of the situation asked the frightened soldiers to create a front line, comfort the fleeing soldiers to get them out of panic, and send the injured soldiers to medical staff for treatment.

“”no!!!””

The soldiers devoted to evil answered the commander’s question with evil.

The soldiers who lost their comrades in vain later filled their emotions with anger toward the monster instead of fear.

It was because I had to build up that kind of killing intent to be able to swing my sword at those guys.

“If we are defeated here, they will march without hesitation to where our precious families are.”

Gulp!

What if that monster enters the city?

Without much imagination, hell will unfold wherever they go.

“We must stop them. Even if it means risking your life!”

Grass-Gar!

Kyaaaah!!!

Hold? Squeeze!

The monsters that had flocked to the soldiers were also faltering.

But their red eyes looked as if they were going to attack us at any moment.

Monsters are sinful beings that spread pollution.

Additionally, he had an infinite hatred for uncontaminated living beings.

“Everyone move forward!!!”

Wow!!!!!!!

The fight between monsters and humanity.

The peace that humanity enjoyed for a short time can be broken so easily.

The war against pollution has been going on for a long time.

It was the day it started again.

* * *

[The front line collapsed due to a large-scale monster wave.]

[Casualty count impossible.]

[The purification rate that was maintained at 40% was completely broken.]

[Property damage also cannot be counted.]

[How many reinforcements can be dispatched?]

[Large-scale monster wave, can it be stopped?]

[Why didn’t I know about Monster Wave earlier?]

[Was there any way to find out about the monster wave in advance?]

What will happen will inevitably happen.

The long-awaited incident finally occurred.

‘Even though we were prepared, many people died.’

Well, in an attack of that scale, it would be impossible to minimize the damage no matter how much preparation was done.

Because the matter was a matter of fact, it may not have gone perfectly as planned.

It was an incident that was bound to result in a large number of casualties.

‘How long have I lived?’

All I could do was to prepare by sending the supplies I had to the front lines in advance.

In addition, we set up a tent in advance so that we could make wires, and also stocked it with the necessary items.

I’m not sure how much of an impact my preparations had on this incident.

They won’t have enough time to tell me the news.

‘But it looks like my efforts weren’t all in vain.’

In the main scenario, too many people died in the monster wave, so academy students were conscripted due to lack of personnel.

But this time, as it was the weekend, Shine calmly visited our store because he didn’t have any students with him.

“Can you come here?”

“Ah~ Because of the front line?”

“uh. “I think the academy is pretty ugly.”

“Of course it’s ugly. There is a lot of talk even among students. But it’s not to the point where I can’t go out.”

I felt relieved at Shine’s words.

There is no separate news from the front lines, but this is nothing short of confirmation that my actions have had some effect.

“You said a lot of people died?”

The information that people like me could hear was limited.

It’s like going to a place like a bar or an inn and listening to what people are saying.

The problem is that because the information is often passed by word of mouth, it is mixed with exaggeration and lies.

‘Would you like to let me know if I contact the academy?’

However, I did not sponsor it for 10 years to get help from the academy in this matter.

Plus, I could ask the students for information directly, so I waited patiently.

Shine, an academy student, will be able to hear information that is much more accurate and closer to the truth than I can.

“They said a lot of people died. “They say this is the highest number of casualties in the last few years.”

“Ho… .”

Shine looked glum, but in my opinion, that was a very good result.

As you know, this incident is one with a record number of deaths.

This is not something that will simply end in a war with the highest number of casualties in years.

Would the military have recruited students due to lack of personnel?

“Has the monster wave stopped?”

“Not yet. I heard there’s a tense fight going on. “But I’m glad we stopped it before it went into the city.”

“You blocked me from entering the city? “That’s amazing.”

“That’s great? The base collapsed? “I’m getting really angry right now.”

That’s because these guys don’t know the importance of the situation.

In the future, more monsters will come, and the pollution will never stop like before.

A 40% purified zone where humanity can live.

The fact that the 40% line is broken will be a huge shock to people who were enjoying peace.

People may still clearly remember losing their hometowns due to contaminated areas.
