For the first time in months, Jakarta didn't roar, scream, or moan. All that was heard was the whisper of wind blowing dust over a sea of confused humans and sobs starting to be heard here and there.
On the Monas grounds, Vara stood stunned. Her sword hung limply in her hand. Around her, thousands of newly "cured" humans naked, dirty, and trembling sat on the asphalt, staring at their own hands as if they were alien objects.
"Did we... win?" whispered a soldier b

Chapter 117: The Crocodile Kingdom
The hot afternoon wind whipped the red flag bearing the crocodile skull, making it flutter violently above the watchtower. Below, the tension was as thick as the South Jakarta air.Elian stood in front of the "Cosmo Express" truck, its engine now off. His hands were casually tucked into the pockets of his cargo jacket, his eyes locked on the dozens of giant crossbow muzzles aimed directly at his head from behind the sharpened log barricade.To his right, Vara already had her hand on the hilt of her Cosmo Rapier, her body slightly crouched, ready to dash at any moment. To his left, Agus loomed, puffing out his armored chest to act as a meat shield for Elian. Meanwhile, the twenty-five Thunder Revenants stood in a rigid line behind them, the electric blue eyes of the undead troops glowing coldly from behind their jet-black helmets."I count about thirty of them on the wall," Vara whispered without moving her lips. "Their w
Chapter 116: The Rebellion and News of Elian's Death
BAM! BAM! BAM!The sound of blunt objects hitting the thick glass doors of City Hall sounded like war drums being beaten by a starving devil. The bulletproof glass began to show a spiderweb of fine cracks. Outside, the sea of humans incited by Baskara was rampaging, trying to break in.Outside the doors, twenty-five Thunder Revenants still stood like statues, holding back the weight of thousands of human bodies pushing against them. Their black armor wasn't dented despite being pelted with rocks and scrap iron, and their blue eyes remained glowing brightly. They obeyed one absolute protocol from their CEO, "Do not kill civilians." So, the killing machines just became a shield that was slowly being pushed back.Inside the lobby, which had now been turned into a last-ditch fortress, the atmosphere was no less tense.Colonel Badra paced back and forth, his face drenched in cold sweat. His assault rifle
Chapter 115: The Rats Behind the Walls
Three hours after the "Cosmo Express" convoy carrying Elian, Vara, and Agus disappeared behind the concrete ruins of South Jakarta, the temperature in the Monas courtyard felt like being inside a steamer pot.The midday sun baked the asphalt. The smell of sweat, filth, and despair from the two million crowded humans created a thin, suffocating fog. The monster apocalypse might be over, but hunger was a primal monster that never died.In the makeshift public kitchen area, Lina wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, which was blistered from hot water splashes. The girl stared at the contents of the giant pot in front of her with a blank expression."Gramps," Lina called out hoarsely, her voice almost drowned out by the rumbling sound of the crowd. "I've added two more gallons of rainwater. The sardines are completely gone. This isn't porridge anymore, Gramps. This is just fishy-tasting water."
Chapter 114: Welcome to the Concrete Jungle
"Information received, Colonel. Keep monitoring from the air as long as your drone's battery lasts."Elian released the communication radio button on his chest. The morning wind, carrying a dry dust, blew through his black hair. On his face, there was no panic, only the cold calculation of a CEO who had just received a report on a competitor's strategic shift.Vara, who had been leaning her head out of the truck's cabin window, stared at Elian with a sharp frown. "Another civilization? What does Colonel Badra mean, Boss? There's a survivor faction that built a fortress in a monster's den?!"Elian tapped the steel plate of the truck's roof with his fingertips. "Looks like it, Vara. And they're flying a crocodile skull flag. They're either a lizard-worshipping cult, an apocalyptic version of the land mafia, or just a bunch of crazies with a death wish.""So? Are we turning back?" Vara asked, her hand r
Chapter 113: War Prep Meeting (The Corporate Version)
"Lina! Where are you?!"Elian yelled into his emergency walkie-talkie while running up the basement stairs, completely out of breath. The wound in his ribs protested fiercely, but he ignored it. His mind was filled with images of an invisible chameleon monster chewing through their remaining sardines.A crackling sound came from the radio, followed by Lina's curt voice. "In the logistics warehouse, where else?! I'm sitting on a pile of sardines holding a ladle! Why are you screaming so early in the morning?!"Elian stopped at the top of the stairs. He leaned against the wall, letting out an incredibly long sigh of relief."Are the sardines safe, Lin? Nothing weird around you? Like, shadows moving on their own or the sound of a monster breathing?""The only sound here is my stomach growling, El!" Lina grumbled from the other side. "Everything's safe and sound. What's up? You want
Chapter 112: The Research Division & The Pet Monster
The morning before the departure of the Ragunan Project expedition.The sun had just risen a stone's throw high, but Elian was already awake. His eyes were red and baggy. He had spent the entire night forcing himself to stay awake to read Mr. Hendra's "SOP for Large-Scale Hazardous Biological Specimen Capture Expeditions - Version 1.0", purely out of fear that the crazy bureaucrat would actually cut his salary (which he didn't even know what form it took yet).With a cup of instant coffee that tasted more like pan-washing water in his hand, Elian walked down the emergency stairs toward the archive building basement next to City Hall.The place used to be a stuffy, dusty storage room for provincial government documents. However, in less than twenty-four hours, the basement had been transformed into something straight out of a high-budget sci-fi horror movie set.The sharp smell of antiseptic, formalin
