"Fuck!" the captain punched the outer wall of the fortress fiercely, bent over gasping for breath.
"The front line has collapsed, at least a hundred Multi-eyed Birds of danger level four have gotten in. You're lucky to be alive."
A resigned woman's voice came from the rear of the squad.
Several red-eyed members looked over.
They saw a black-haired woman in a white research uniform speaking.
The woman, calmly smoking a cigarette, watched the sea where the strange birds had disappeared. Ordinary-looking with an average build, dark circles under her eyes, slightly haggard, she appeared to be around forty, with noticeable crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.
Had it not been for her researcher's white coat, anyone would have mistook her for an ordinary housewife.
"Director Yan! Why weren't we notified! Why nobody informed us when the Multi-eyed Birds broke in!!?" the captain charged forward in anger, grabbing the woman's collar and hoisting her up.
