"Damn it, is this piece of junk broken? Do not just sit there, hurry up and translate that ugly alien voice!" Leo cursed out loud.The big guy slammed his fist onto the remains of the burning Citadel communication console on the asphalt. No image, no light. In front of Leo's blind and scorched eyes, the world was just thick darkness. His heart was already shattered after Julianna died, and now he had to swallow the reality that a new apocalypse had just begun.From the torn night sky above, the screams of people echoed again. The sound of flesh melting from the purple lasers could be heard clearly by Leo's sharp ears. The man's hearing had sharpened a hundred times over after he lost his sight."This is not the time to play hide and seek, Leo. Focus, damn it, focus!" Leo whispered to himself.Leo roughly ripped an earpiece along with an audio cable from the broken communication console. He plugged the end of the cable into the bypass slot at the base of the back of his neck. A small e

"Do not get in my way, babe! I am trying to deal with this alien roach right now!" Raka snapped.Raka pushed Elena and Leo's bodies roughly until they both tumbled into a puddle of dirty water. Just a second after that push, a dog-sized parasitic creature with dozens of red eyes jumped out from the sewer water. Its sharp claws snapped at the empty air where Elena had been standing."You only have one arm left, yet you are still acting like a shield!" Elena scolded in panic while crawling away."One arm is more than enough to crush this ugly parasite," Raka replied, smirking.Raka clenched his remaining intact right hand. He tried to focus his mind, calling back the power of the remaining Sang Anak energy or the black gravity that usually always responded to his instincts. However, instead of blue or black energy appearing, an incredibly excruciating pain stung right into his spine."Damn it, why does it feel like getting shocked by a leaky generator," Raka groaned quietly."Fall back,

"Hey, open the door! Are you deaf?! Where are you taking my girlfriend, damn it?!" Raka snapped with a hoarse voice.Raka hit the steel quarantine door using his remaining intact right hand. He was panting heavily. Silver blood dripped from his chin, staining the iron floor of the cramped room that smelled of cheap antiseptic. His body trembled violently, enduring the torture of the Quantum Rejection that continued to tear apart the cells in his flesh."You are so loud. My head is still spinning from that yellow gas earlier," Sena complained.The shoulder-length-haired girl sat leaning against the corner of the cold room, massaging her throbbing temples. Sena's face was still pale after passing out in the sewer."How can I not panic? Elena was dragged to another room, and Leo was put into a triple-layered steel bunker in the lower sector! That guy Baskoro is definitely planning something sick for us!" Raka replied, hitting the door again until his hand turned red."And what are you go

"Leo, please don't come any closer! He's going to inject air into my vein!" Elena screamed. Her voice trembled violently, shattering the tension in the stuffy laboratory.Leo's footsteps stopped abruptly. The tactical knife in his left hand dripped fresh blood, but his massive muscles tensed up stiffly. His radar caught the sharp hissing sound from the tip of the steel syringe pressing against Elena's neck. Baskoro was not bluffing. The colonel's finger was already firmly resting on the syringe's plunger. Just one millimeter of pressure, and the empty air would enter her blood vessel, killing Elena instantly from an embolism."Let her go, you coward! If you dare to kill Elena, I'll tear your guts out until you beg to die," Leo threatened with a very deep, hoarse voice."Don't act like a hero, Leo. You guys have already lost," Baskoro replied with a very cynical chuckle.In the corner of the room, Raka lay helpless. His left knee was completely shattered from Baskoro's shotgun blast a

"Die, you fucking worm! Do not dare come near my train!" Sena shrieked at the top of her lungs.The shoulder-length-haired girl pulled the locomotive's reverse lever all the way back. Her right hand stuck out of the shattered driver's window, firing her pistol blindly into the darkness. The muzzle flashes lit up the round snout of the cosmic worm as it kept crawling and chasing them through the underground tunnel. Thousands of the monster's metal teeth spun wildly, spraying acidic slime that hissed as it hit the train's body. The violent shaking made Sena's head hit the window frame a few times, but fear forced her to ignore the pain.In the corner of the violently shaking train car floor, Raka leaned weakly against the cold steel wall.He did not care about the roaring alien worm out there. His blank stare was glued only to what was left of his left knee. His cargo pants were torn apart, leaving behind thoroughly mangled flesh from Baskoro's shotgun blast. Thick red blood kept flowin
