With Bear working on a bomb,we decide to head outside and hunt some Arachnids.
With Fox as as a scout, we didn't have to worry about getting in a ambush .
As we advance ,we saw more and more bugs ,but one big bug caught my attention.
That's a Tanker, a black bug that is huge, somewhere around 6-9 meters height (I think, if I'm wrong plese corect me).His size isn't that scary , but this bug has one ability that could be used for massacre and that's the ability to spray a stream of flammable, corrosive liquid from its head(mouth?).
Seeing that there's a Tanker near our cave, we become worried,but we can't do anything to it right now.
Fox:" Captain, we need to head back. We are almost surrendered by Arachnids . I don't know if they found us,but I don't want to wait and find."
T:"Captain we should retreat. We don't have the manpower necessary for this fight. Bur if you decide to fight ,I will follow you."
Fox:"Me too. If you want to fight , I'm here."
Hearing their words, I fell so proud,but I don't want to sacrifice our lives for nothing.
Kevin:"Let's go back. We need to prepare for worse. At least we will make a stand when we have the firepower."
As we finish our plan, we head back to the cave, but this time ,Fox suggested to follow another route. Her idea was a good one, because immediately after we decided to follow another route , the bugs appear on our first route.
T:"You literally saved our asses , thank you. Fox, if you want anything, I will try and help you."
Kevin:" Thank you Fox. You are our lucky star."
Fox:" Hehe, now I have T as my henchmen and Captain you should com-pen-sate me ."
When I heard her words, I could fell how my heart wave at me with a Good luck expression.
Kevin:" Ahem, we should move. I don't want to die on this planet."
Nodding at my words,we moved again.
Somewhere on Planet Lost
"We will starve to death if we don't find something to eat."
"Paul , we need water plus the fact that we will surely die if we don't find a way for us to leave this planet."
"Jessica's right . We are most likely the last survivors ,but this thing may be a curse rather than a blessing."
Paul:"The last five marines. I'm honored to fight together with you guys."
"Same for us." said two brothers
"Yan and Fang , you two are from right?"
Fang:"Yep, we were . Now we are survivors. Our platoon was killed in first wave."
As Fang spoke, a bear like man approach them. That man was Sergei , a Russian . He served in the army and after three years he decided to become a marine for the mobile infantry.
Sergei:" We need to leave . "
Paul:" Sergei , what's the rush?"
Sergei:" Bugs. Lots of them. We are fucked. I will fight to death."
Jessica:" We are together in this right?"
Sergei :" I'm happy to know that I have friends like you."
Back to Kevin
Fox:" Captain , I saw some soldiers up ahead. They are fighting Arachnids. Lots of them. Sooner or later ,they would be killed. "
T:" Captain , what should we do?Do you want to save them? Or should we leave them to their death?"
Hearing their words , I closed my eyes and sigh, I spoke
Kevin :" Maybe I'm a fool but I won't be a man that would use other people lives so he could survive. We'll go and help them."
"Sir, Yes Sir!"
[*Ding* Quest received - Life Saver (Only five missions for you as a gift)
Description: Save your allies from the enemy
Reward: 1)Two Tier One Power Armor {The fallout like power armor , I don't remember the name}- a better version of the know Power Armor(can deflect hits from low Arachnids , but can only deflect 50% from the warrior type)
2)Organic Exchanger -can create food from any organic life form
3)Five new soldiers
Failure : Death ]
Looking at the quest, I was dumbfounded.
Why? Well ,first thing first I didn't think I would get this kind of beginner gift. Secondly these two power armors would be a great upgrade to our forces and finally the organic exchanger that can turn dead Arachnids in food. With these rewards , how could I not help ? Don't get me wrong , I want to help them with or without rewards.
<Paul POV>
" I'm empty . Ammo anyone?" I yelled
"Catch it. Make it counts. " yelled Yan
So this how we die? What a way to die. At least I'm with my friends.
Paul:" I'm honored to die alongside you guys. Let's meet in hell."
As our ammo was depleted , we could only wait for our death, but when I saw the Arachnids in front of us , something miraculous happened. Shots come upon the bugs. As the Arachnids bodies keep piling up , we saw the hope.
<Kevin POV>
As we fire , I yelled at the group.
Kevin:" Come up here and keep your head down."
Seconds felt like years ,but after one minute , the group arrived by our side .
Kevin:" Pick some ammo and kill these bugs."
Paul's Group :" Yes sir."
Looking at them , I felt some sort of achievement ,but now isn't the time.
Kevin:" Marines , WHO WE ARE?"
All:" Mobile Infantry ."
[*Ding* Skill gained : Leader- encourage your soldiers by boosting their morale and fight alongside]
Ten minutes later, you could see eight people on the ground , clearly exhausted ,but happy.
Well Kevin was the happiest person right now. Not only he complet the quest , he gained five more level ups and with them another five privates .
As Kevin was lost in his thoughts, Paul approach him.
Paul:" Thank you for your help. I'm Paul and they are Sergei, Jessica , Yan and Fang. Sir... we would want to join you. Of course only if you want?" as he spoke , Paul pointed at every member as he call their name and when he mentioned the fact that they want to join me his face was sightly pale.
Kevin :" Haha. I'm honored to have you as my brothers and sisters in arms . "
Paul's Group was excited by the news , but they didn't celebrate yet.
Fox:" Captain , we need to move ASAP. Bugs are coming , we can't fight them this time."
Kevin:"Let's go at our base."
Hey guys . Hope you will like this chapter.
