Chapter 96

Episode 96. [I’ll give it back (3)]

Northern Siberia.

bang! Quagwang! bang!

An endless coniferous forest that seems to surround a wall and a snow-covered field in front of it.

Just yesterday, it was a beautiful scenery worthy of a picture postcard.

But now it was just a battlefield filled with bombs raining down and the cries of monsters.

In the snow-covered field, large monsters resembling reindeer were running toward the southeast.

The smallest monsters ranged from the size of a small car to the largest monsters the size of a medium-sized bus.

Quagwang! Quagwagwang!

But the monsters were not able to advance properly.

It was because of the artillery fire raining down on the field. The shells fired by the self-propelled artillery battalion turned the snow-covered fields upside down.

Phew!

The monsters that were directly hit by the bombardment were shattered on the spot, and the monsters that were hit out of the way were also lying on the ground, unable to move easily. However, Regiment Commander Kadyrov’s expression as he watched the scene through a telescope from a hill in the far south did not look good.

Although we were stopping them with artillery fire, the monsters were moving further and further south.

The monsters did not die unless they were hit directly.

Because recovery is not a problem, most injuries were not a problem in moving around.

Monsters had no fear like humans.

Any army would have retreated with that much loss, but the monsters were steadily pushing down.

The regimental commander muttered unconsciously as he watched the monsters that kept popping out of the coniferous forest.

“If anyone had been able to command the monsters, they would have been pushed back immediately.”

Kadyrov clicked his tongue.

What nonsense? It’s not easy to hold on even now, but I ended up saying something terrible.

“Still no word that help is coming?”

The staff shook their heads at his words,

“All I’m saying is to defend your position as much as possible.”

“Damn it! I sang a song about not having enough troops, but you didn’t listen. Now you’re telling me to defend my position with these troops?”

“I guess the military district didn’t know that a wave would break out in this direction.”

“It was going to explode at some point. Peace and peace.”

The regiment commander calmed his excitement at the words of the staff. It was anger that had no target anyway. The Russian situation, which had no choice but to do this, was frustrating. Boom! Boom! As time passed, the

sound

of artillery fire gradually decreased.

“How many shells are left?”

“Even if we sweep up all the artillery shells the regiment has and the surrounding ammunition depots, it only takes two days.”

After hearing the staff’s words, Regiment Commander Kadyrov made a decision:

“No matter what is said from above, we will withdraw to the rear in two days. At that rate, all Murmansk citizens will be able to withdraw.”

The staff also agreed with what the regimental commander said. Honestly, I wasn’t sure if we could hold out until then. We were

retreating while buying time with artillery fire, but we didn’t know when the front line would collapse.

However, as the regimental commander said, we had to buy two more days.

On the regiment’s side , Murmansk, the northernmost city in Russia, was located.

It was necessary to buy time until 400,000 city residents could evacuate.

“How many monsters were there in there? Surely not all existing animals died and were replaced by monsters? ?”

Thanks to their strong bodies, they were visible in large numbers, but that did not mean that the numbers that kept popping up were small. The

government, as well as him, were mistaken. This wave was different from Brazil.

“Encourage the withdrawal of refugees. All who left the city are No. We have to evacuate at least to St. Petersburg.”

Looking at the city visible next to the frozen river in the distance, the regimental commander gave instructions:

“Yes, I understand.”

Listening to the staff’s answer, the regimental commander tilted his head. The appearance of the city was unfamiliar.

He looked at the city through a telescope.

‘Smoke?’

It was then.

Quaaaaaaa!

A huge explosion occurred in the city. The fire was so strong that you couldn’t even see it through a telescope. Did

a gas tank explode? Or a gas station?

It seemed like her decision had already been made, but her mother tried to say it one more time.

“You should worry about your body. “What are you going to do if you get hurt while fighting in a foreign country, not even in our country?”

Sonya smiled at her mother’s concern.

“There was already someone who came to another country and saved us.”

She remembered the delivery man wearing sunglasses.

An awakened person who risked his life to come to a city besieged by monsters. He was a benefactor who stayed in the city and saved countless people.

Unfortunately, she could not follow the awakened person like Marcelo, but she did not forget her memories of Kay.

After EV’s announcement not long ago, the bulletin board of EV’s homepage was endlessly filled with stories about the announcement.

Skeptical thoughts, doubts, stories about conservatives, and a desire to show off one’s skills were all swirling around.

However, such comments gradually decreased after postings by awakened people in one country.

[We Brazilian awakeners have not forgotten the help of EV. Like EV’s executioner who risked his life to save our Brazilian citizens, the Brazilian awakeners of the past will not spare any help in this wave.] ┗I

saw it from the side. He...

┗I couldn’t believe I was carrying equipment through the jungle.

┗..

After the testimony of Brazilian awakeners, awakened associations began to appear one by one, offering to cooperate.

[The British Awakened Association decided to fully support EV...]

[The Korean Awakened Association has already departed for Finland...]

...

The trend has changed. Bulletin board posts were filled with people asking how they could help.

The first Brazilian awakener to write was Sonya.

Sonya, who remembered the bulletin board, said hello to her parents one last time.

“Do not worry. I will come back safely. It’s not like I’m going to Russia. what.”

After saying hello to her family, she headed to the airport with her suitcase.

At that time, people who were planning to leave for Canada were gathering at the airport.

This didn’t just happen in Brazil.

Awakened people from all over the world were moving to the airport to stop the wave.

***

Eastern Finland.

The Finnish army was encamped on the Russian border. This was not an army to deal with Russia as usual.

It was a force to block monsters coming from Panajärvi National Park and monsters coming from northern Russia.

It was obvious, but mutant monsters did not care about human borders.

Monsters from Alaska sometimes went to Canada, and monsters from Russia headed to Finland.

Even now, monsters from the Russian national park and the north bordering the border were flooding into Finland.

However, the number of troops appeared to be lower than usual.

“The number of monsters coming down from the north is significant. “Half of the troops are being redeployed to the north.”

A handsome young officer explained things to the awakened people from Korea.

They were about 10 awakened people from the Korean Awakened Association. Among them were some awakened people seen on TV.

“Will it be okay?”

“I’m nervous because I’m hunting with the military.”

Several awakened people whispered with anxious faces.

Although they received a lot of training, ordinary awakened people, unlike executives, had not caught many monsters.

The Finnish officer who explained it also seemed to be an awakened person. He heard the whispering and kindly explained.

“You don’t have to worry. All you have to do is wait here and chase down the monsters that broke through the front lines and deal with them.”

There was no way the awakened people would be needed in a situation of all-out war. The awakened people breathed a sigh of relief. If it was monster hunting, there was no reason to worry.

“I’m glad you came. The number of awakened people was too low. Thanks to you all, I no longer have to worry about the rear. Thank you.”

The officer who was speaking tilted his head. He counted the number of people again and looked at the association president.

“The numbers aren’t right. “There is one less person...”

Jinhyeok looked embarrassed at the officer’s words.

“I went out on a brief reconnaissance. “I’ll be back soon.”

“yes? “Monsters will soon come. I don’t know where they went, but please come back quickly.”

The officer urged with a surprised expression, but it was already too late.

A flock of birds rose from the coniferous forest beyond the border.

Ouch!

The monsters had arrived.
