261 For the new life 7 (1/2)
Monsters kept rushing into the long and deep peaks.
”Those monsters are coming again.”
The soldiers frowned as they looked over to the peaks where monsters filled the lands beneath.
”How many more are there? There's no end to them.”
”It's terrible. Oh, did you hear the rumor that those monsters were once humans?”
”What? That's impossible!”
”I'd rather die than become one of those.”
”It's not proven, but a friend of mine who works as a cleaner at the lab told me.”
The soldiers became grim. There was no smoke without fire and it was definite that something was up if there were such rumors.
”READY TO FIRE!”
”FIRE THE CANNON!”
Orders were given and the cannons began firing at the monsters. The entire peak trembled with explosions raining down on the countless monsters. After a while, when the explosions ceased, the peak was filled with smoke, only to be filled by another round of cannon fire.
Then, the last cannon fire sounded as all the monsters in the area were turned into dust. However, the soldiers knew that this wasn't the end.
”Ugh, I hate the smell of gunpowder. It's disgusting.”
”Isn't it better than the rotting smell of those monsters?”
”Yeah, that's true.”
”HEY! Stop chatting and start prepping. The big ones will be coming soon.”
”Ugh.”
The soldiers moaned at those words from the officer. Then, they witnessed giant monsters emerging through the smoke.
”Whoa, that's big.”
”How is that size even possible?” Jinpok and Joonbum commented at the sheer size of the monster. Doral also frowned at the sight and spoke.
”Even the largest dinosaur isn't that big. Oh, but it might be as big as the long-necked one.”
The monster was faster than expected based on its size.
”Wow, I think that's over a hundred feet tall.”
The monster was larger than anyone had ever imagined or seen until now.
”Look! What is that?”
They then realized that there were smaller monsters at the bottom.
”Ugh, it's like they are adults and children.”
Even those monsters were over fifty feet, but they looked smaller compared to the giant one.
