Doomsday Pillars

Chapter 85 - Huge Beast



Alex brought the newly formed special platoon to the north gate. These men were part of the 500 special soldiers. 250 who have leadership talent were assigned as platoon leaders or battalion commanders. Another 150 were still assigned as instructors or were leading the city guards. They would fill as the commanders of the next batch of fighters. The rest 100 special forces men were assigned into this special platoon. Unlike the battalion soldiers which was built as a liberation force from the zombies and monsters, this special platoon will be assigned to handle the unique and special missions.

Most of these men were with him during the Bali Airport bait mission, some also with him on the monkey forest mission. These men have the strength, knowledge, and battle experience. All of these 100 men already became a high stage or peak stage Mortal Realm. They no longer needed many spirit stones, they needed more battle experience. These platoons will become his main force in challenging the doomsday pillars.

Tiger platoon has Donny and the twins.. Wolf platoon has Jerry, Darius, and Sergei. When the North Gate was destroyed, these men came in and stood in front of Bayu and the three battalions. They are now standing face to face with the mutated bear.

"Wow, those beasts are huge!!"

"We need bigger weapons!!"

When standing so close with the beast, the men realized the gravity of the situation. There are only about three dozen mutated bears, but each bear was as big as an elephant. Alex encountered these beasts in his previous life. They are the Sun Bears. It is the smallest of the world\'s eight bear species. Its common name comes from the white or yellowish crescent markings on their chests, which many people think looks like the rising or setting sun. Despite their name, Sun Bears are actually nocturnal, roaming the forests at night. The sun bear has uniquely large canine teeth, extremely strong jaws, and long claws. It is said to be one of the most dangerous animals to encounter in the jungle.

Things to note for his men are; the brown fur representing the younger beasts, they are supposed to be peak stage one, while the dark brown ones already reached adulthood, and turned into an early second stage beast. The bears are not faster than the monkeys or have strong durable skin like the snakes, but the mutated bears have greater strength. It also has the biggest vitality. Bears are the only animals who can still fight till the death. They don\'t give up easily.

Alex noticed there were only five dark brown sun bears among them, the rest were still first stage bears. With the golem help, Alex thought It won\'t be such a hard battle.

Before Alex could feel relaxed, he saw a figure move from behind the mutated bears, it\'s a much bigger beast than the rest of the bears, it\'s the evolved mutated bear. The whole body covered by jet black fur, the bear was about 5 meters big. A second stage beast, Alex wasn\'t sure either mid or high stage. This could be a problem...

None have the power to defeat a high second stage other than the Golem. Alex must assign the Golem to fight against it. There\'s no time to think of other strategies... the Bear has moved forward passing through the gate...

"Jerry, let\'s have a bet which platoon will kill more mutated bears.", Donny asked.

"What are we betting on?"

"What about 200 food vouchers?"

"Deal!!"

Two hundred food vouchers meant his platoon will give up 2 days worth of food. Food might not be hard to find this current time, but those food vouchers have become a sort of currency within the base. It can be used to trade anything from shampoo to tissue.

"Everyone, attack!!"

Tiger Platoon on the left side, Wolf Platoon on the right and Bayu\'s Battalion in the center. The firearms still sent a few more bullets, barraging the mutated bears. By the time the bears reached the closest fighters, most of them have become injured.

As the entrance of the gate was narrow, only a few bears managed to enter each minute. Except for the leader of the pack, who currently facing a one on one fight with the golem. The fight in front of the gates turned into a ten vs one battle. The special forces were fighting using everything they had to kill the mutated bears; shotguns, machineguns, spears, sabers.

The bears\' strongest attack was their paw attack. With their size, one paw was almost as big as a tree trunk. It has sharp long claws like a sharpened meat cleaver.

AARRGGGGHHHHH!!

One man from the Wolf Platoon hit on the chest, the paw managed to tear part of the man\'s chest. Another got bodyslammed from it and suddenly fainted. These mutated bears really are not easy to deal with. Their bodies are covered with a thick amount of fat. It took a dozen spear stabs into the beast before its lifeless body started to drop flat into the ground.

"My platoon\'s already got three.", Donny said...

"Mine... one... two... three... four... we seem to be winning."

"..."

After a few minutes, the Tiger and Wolf Platoons\' fighting power increased, they started to understand each other\'s strength and started to work together more efficiently. When one attacked, the other one distracted the opponent. When one was in danger they would cover each other.

Alex was currently only watching the situation. The golem\'s fight against the black bear was a stalemate. He\'s more worried about the five dark brown ones. Alex ordered the firearm troops to focus fire upon the five dark brown beasts. As the dark brown bears got hurt and distracted, the troops managed to overpower the bears.

Almost an hour has passed, all over the gates, the fight started to cool down as many of them died and fleed the battle. Alex moved closer into the black furred beasts, he wished to finish this fight with the death of the pack leader. Alex took out a grenade launcher... he aimed and...

.

.

SCCCRREEEEECCHHHHHHH...

.

Suddenly a screeching sound could be heard in his ears and all the fighting suddenly stopped... Alex saw the huge black bear suddenly looked anxious... the bears growled and suddenly the dozens that survived quickly retreated. The black bear gave a last look to Alex before turning around with his kind into the mountain.

.

SCCCRREEEEECCHHHHHHH...

The sound turns much louder now, whatever it is, it\'s already very close...

.

KWAACKK!! KWAACKK!!

.

A figure flying within the darkness of the night...

"..."

"Ooohh. NO... why is it here?"

The seabirds were nothing compared to this flying creature. It\'s flapping its wings with such strength, that every each one seemed to throw a tornado... brown feathered with a wingspan reaching more than 10 meters. This soaring beast was the ruler of the sky.. and is now heading straight to the central of Starbase...

Alex face suddenly paled, Alex knew what monster this is, and it\'s heading straight to where the eggs are... They\'re in his storage, next to his house where his blind daughter was.

"..."

Alex used his fastest speed and ran like a madman back to his place...

What he saw shocked him greatly.
