”Everyone! Watch out for the enemy attack! Especially if you hear a coughing sound! Eliminate that enemy immediately!”

When I shouted that, one soldier fell down to the ground and melted to the bones too.

”Man down! F*ck where is this sh*t coming from?!” one of the soldiers who hold a siege shield shouted.

”Calm down! There are still a few small undead around! Don’t let the undead outnumber us!” Kato shouted to restore the morale of everyone but they are panicking with the sudden death of the commander. This is going to be hard. Therefore, I decided to intervene.

”Motherf*ckers! Don’t shame yourself like this and fight! You all are soldiers! Don’t let the commander’s death be also the death of all of you! If you want to mourn his death then be sure to get out of here alive!”

The soldiers stopped panicking all of a sudden and one of them shouted as he grips the rifle hard.

”He is right! We can’t let our commander’s death be the cause of our deaths! Let’s defend and kill these bastards!”

There is no time for celebration. I have to locate the pukers as soon as possible. If they can melt concrete, the Siege shields won’t do much work and might be melted before it can even block the spit. I doubt the soldiers will have the spare time to look for the Puker while they are defending the trucks.

I move towards the area where the corpse of the commander is lying. Pukers are slow-moving bast*rds so if they attacked the commander earlier, they are likely still around the area. I doubt they can even move that fast. Standing at the top of the truck, I survey the surrounding area.

Of course, I am right. The Puker that managed to wreck the commander to a pile of flesh is still here struggling to move due to the undead around the bast*rd trying to move. Since the Puker has yet to notice me, I pull out the Naginata on my back and without hesitation, I throw it towards the Puker’s head. It easily pierced the puker and before the Naginata melt from the Puker’s liquid, I pull it off using my grappling hook.

When I got my hands on the naginata, I swing it on the undead below to kill them. If they are the same undead on movies, a single swing like that won’t kill them easily. Good thing the head of the undead is just too soft to be hard enough and survive the naginata. That swing slashed the heads of the undead and killed them permanently.

The siege is just getting troublesome and I can still see a few Puker’s attacks flying here and there. The good thing is that there are no more casualties from the attacks of the Pukers. However, I still felt nervous. And usually, when I felt nervous, someone else will suffer or die for some reason. I hope I am wrong but this kind of feeling never fails me. I don’t want anyone from my group to die or anyone else suffers the same fate. I am the leader of Blood Battalion and if anyone dies again, I can’t shoulder the burden after their passing.

The guns continue to blaze the battlefield and wrecks all of the undead that tries to pass. However, just when the 6th truck is almost done, the same sound that occurs at midnight started to blare. Most of the soldiers are not wearing their earplugs and I forgot to check the time and tell these guys to put on the plugs. It looks like it is already midnight. The midnight scream is now blaring all around.

”SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!”

The soldiers were immediately covering their bleeding ears. The good thing is that the undead was not moving at all and just stood there like stumps. Only a few of the soldiers were left without passing out since they are wearing headphones to communicate with the other soldiers from the Tsutenkaku Tower. 

Tamaki rushed towards my side and shouted. ”Everyone who is still able to move! Fill the gas on the truck while the remaining guys will have to attack the vulnerable undead! Don’t let this opportunity to get lost!”

I was surprised by Tamaki’s preemptive command. It was indeed a great time to deal with the standing still undead while the scream is still going on. That way, the undead will be a little bit far while the remaining soldiers who got incapacitated from the scream will be able to recover.

One soldier immediately rushes to the truck and resumed the filling of gas. Some of the others are grabbing their guns and started releasing a barrage of bullets on the undead before us. A few of the medic soldiers grab the chance to help all the incapacitated soldiers to safety.

I also did not waste my time to let the chance go to waste. I grab one of the nearby rifles and released a bunch of bullets on the undead and destroy a few of the dead. I emptied the magazine before grabbing a new gun nearby and released another round of the bullets.

Then, Kato who is using his sniper rifle to snipe the undead on the horizon shouted my name and it catches my attention. I looked at him while still releasing bullets from the rifle.

”Kyosei, I spotted a big enemy ahead! Its body shape is not the same as a Juggernaut!”

I frowned hearing this. Another giant enemy?! Are you kidding me? Because I have not seen this enemy, I might as well see and find out if this monster is a new enemy or just another deformed enemy. Using the scope on my AR15, I climbed the top of the truck and check the scope.

”What the f*ck is that?! That is not a Juggernaut!”

I observed the new enemy on my sight. A big sized enemy, around the size of the Juggernaut but has different looks than this one. It has spikes on its shoulders and seemed to have a bigger head, like a sledgehammer? Its body is peculiar, besides the spikes, the hands seem to be covered with scales or something. Since it is not a Juggernaut, I will call this new freak, Hammerhead.
