"Come on, go here!"

A group of Star Alliance soldiers and several armed citizens were rushing up the original stairs of the building frantically. Beneath the chaotic footsteps of his door, some cunning monster howls.

It is obvious that the monsters called Reapers are behind them, under their building, and are chasing them.

Da da da da da!!

‘Howl~roar~!’

"Not good! They are catching up again!"

After hearing the sound of gunfire, clearer footsteps and loud roars from the bottom of the building, the faces of the people turned pale, and then they began to speed up to run at night, hoping to get a little further away from the monsters chasing under the stairs.

"not good!"

"Second Lieutenant! The maintenance staircase leading to the opposite platform was blown up. This is a dead end. We must rush out quickly!"

A soldier leading the way ran to the edge of the huge balcony, looked down from the broken windowsills, and ran back quickly and reported miserably.

"We can't rush out..."

"Everyone, prepare for the fight! Let's fight them this time!!"

The Star Alliance officer who had just retreated from the building aisle to this balcony smiled bitterly, and finally looked back at the countless monsters gushing out of the aisle, and resolutely issued an order to fight to the death.

Now, except for blocking this exit and fighting the enemy with death, they are already unable to escape! At this time, landing craft without Star Alliance will come to support or rescue them from the air. The call and rescue channel they are familiar with has long been silent...

Dada! Dada!!

"No! Sir! There are so many of them, we need support!"

"Please call for support, sir!!"

A Star Alliance soldier whose cooling magazine was red when he hit the "Avengers" assault rifle was changing ammunition, while he was looking at the commander who was not actually their direct subordinate, but just met halfway through it, and the other party's lieutenant, who had the highest military rank, asked.

“…”

"Brothers, fight with them! Whoever has the pulse bombs, throw them all out!!"

The second lieutenant lamented sadly, if he could call for support, wouldn't he do that? As far as he knew, the senior management of the Star Alliance had probably been destroyed by the battleships of the Reapers...

Now there is a loose star coalition army, and I don’t know who is commanding it. Who is he asking for help? Who can provide them with support?!

Boom! Boom!!

"Sir! They are too many, we can't hold on!"

"We have no way out!"

"Hold on! I will hold on to death!!"

Da da da da da!!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!

Bang!

"Huh! Huh!"

"Hurry! Nain! Hide in this vent, don't come out!!"

A little boy was pulled and stuffed into the square passage of the air conditioner vent marked with the number ‘2’ by his father holding a hot weapon in his hand while the balcony gate was still fighting. He found that the pipe was relatively narrow and it was supposed to be the ventilation passage of the building air conditioner main unit, but now there is no wind at all. It must be the air conditioner main unit or the power supply that was blown up by the harvesters!

However, it doesn't matter whether there is wind or not, because this place is very small and can just allow his young son to get inside. Others, whether they are adults or the monsters that invade the earth, must not be able to get in!

This is the only way for his son Nain to live!!

"Nain! Remember: before you ensure absolute safety outside, or before you see a soldier from Star Alliance coming to search and rescue, you must never run out!"

"Did you understand?!"

After pushing the little boy into the ventilation duct, listening to the roar of the monster behind him get closer and closer, the other party's weapon shooting sounds getting louder and louder. Seeing that the group of companions were about to be unable to withstand, the middle-aged man was anxious and in the most fierce and stern tone, he sternly reminded the little boy:

"Put your useless tears!"

"Neen, you are a brave and good guy! Hurry up! Climb to the inside quickly, don't be afraid, and don't make a sound. As long as you stay in it, those monsters will definitely not find you!!"

After saying that, the middle-aged man with dirt and bloodstains on his face grabbed the steel Lanshan in the vent, reinstalled it on the vent, and finally looked at the vent that was blocked by Lanshan. After hearing crying or other sounds from the small pipe, he resolutely picked up the weapon he placed on the ground and rushed towards his temporary comrades who were fighting bloodily with the enemy in the distance.

He was originally just a company employee, and he was good at the management and maintenance of low-altitude transportation vehicles with mass effect... But now, at the critical moment when the earth was invaded by alien monsters, he not only had to play the role of a father, but also continued to use the weapons he had touched for the first time in his life to fight the fierce monsters!

At this moment, he did not feel hysterical or complain about the world. He just ran back to the side of the Star League soldiers as fast as possible, risking being shot by the terrifying red energy pulse, and firmly shooting at the hideous and ugly enemies.

Da da da da da!!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!

Boom! Boom!

“…”

The little boy stuffed into the pipe tightly pursed his lips and slowly retreated until he turned into a corner of the pipe and stopped when he stopped, letting anyone or monster outside the pipe entrance no longer see him.

‘Howl~Woo!!’

It seems... it was a monster who rushed into this platform?

‘Wow…’

‘Ah! My belly!’

Dada dada...

‘I have no bullets!’

‘Get out! You monster!’

‘Hahaha! Let’s die together!’

boom!!!

‘Ao~roar~!’

‘…’

The little boy covered his ears tightly with his hands, and hid blankly at the corner of the ventilation duct. He was hiding in the darkness, obediently without making any sound, nor was he afraid or cried... He just opened his eyes wide and looked at the red or blue light of the shadows shining through the vents, and listened to the various terrifying sounds outside.

The gunshots, explosions, monster roars, and the insults and rages of his father and other uncles... Of course, the insults and screams of unknown who were all made him, who was hiding in the pipes hear clearly!

The terrifying sound made him unable to do anything except hide at this corner of the ventilation duct and cover his ears tightly.

but……

The chaos outside did not last long. In just a short while, for about ten minutes, he could only hear the "click" sound of the flames burning outside, as well as the chaotic footsteps and roars that obviously would not belong to humans...

This situation left his head blank, and he continued to squat in the pipe like that, covering his ears tightly, staring at his knees dullly but couldn't do anything, and he didn't dare to do anything unnecessary.

“…”

He didn't know how long it took...

Maybe it's only ten minutes, maybe it's half an hour, or maybe it's half a day?

Hiding in the dark passage, he was in a state of confusion, no longer had the concept of time, nor did he know what was going on outside, nor did he know what was going on outside, nor how his father and those uncles were... He just silently followed his father's advice when he stuffed him in: Before ensuring absolute safety outside, or seeing a soldier from Star Alliance come here to search and rescue, he must never run out, nor leave this relatively safe place!!!

Just as the little boy felt that it might be safe outside and couldn't help but want to sneak out from the corner of the vent passage to see the situation, a gunshot!

This situation scared him so much that he quickly extinguished the plan that had just risen, retracted again, and covered his head with both hands, curled up motionlessly in the small aisle.

‘Ao~roar~!’!!!

The gunshots, which were not very intense, but very determined, sounded after the roars of the monsters, opened fire slowly at almost a second...

Soon, the little boy was shocked to find that outside, the gunfire and the roars of the monsters that he thought would last for a while, stopped again soon?

He didn't know what was going on outside, and he didn't dare to easily have the idea of ​​coming out and going out to see... because, now that it is no longer safe outside, it is very likely that the monsters have not yet gone far away?

Thumb! Thumb! Thumb!

However, there were sounds of unconcealed footsteps, and they were getting closer and closer... It seemed that the other party was walking towards him, and then stopped outside the exit of the vent pipe and peeked inside?

“!!”

Yes, it must be true!

Because, through the narrow inner wall of the pipe, the little boy seemed to vaguely hear the other party's breathing? However, he didn't know whether he was looking at the pipe hiding from outside the pipe, which was human... or that kind of very terrifying alien monster?

Although, the other party must not see him at this position... But will the other party already smell him? If the evil monsters that invade the earth use equipment or have sensitive noses like dogs, they will definitely be able to find him?

He heard from the teachers in the school that many aliens have more sensitive noses than dogs!

For a moment, the scared little boy didn't know what to do...

He suddenly had the urge to start crawling into the darker place behind him, but he was worried that if he took action at this time, the sound would cause the monsters to chase him unyieldingly? So, after thinking about it, under great fear, he could only stare with his eyes wide and cover his mouth tightly, not even dare to breathe, for fear that a monster's evil head would suddenly appear at the bend of the pipe.

Even though he knew that the pipeline was very small and ordinary people or monsters could not get in, he would still be unable to help thinking about it.

Bang! Bang!

Suddenly, two iron rod-like things gently hit the inner wall of the steel of the ventilation duct, and made two crisp sounds.

It's over, it must have discovered me!!

The little boy was shocked and didn't care that making a sound at this time would attract more attention from the monster. He was so scared that he turned around with difficulty and began to climb down the narrow pipe. He was ready to crawl deep into the dark pipe further behind.
To be continued...
